Chapter 105Alpha Kai's POVIf I was coming along with Ace, I would never have bothered with the guards, but Alexa came along with us. I trust in her abilities completely, but I just can't take that risk of endangering her and end up regretting it.His face fell, but he quickly masks it with a cold smile. “You are starting to get pathetic. We are only negotiating, and you brought all your guards. Have you lost your bravery? Are you starting to get scared?” he taunts.Before I could speak, Alexa spoke up.“And you are so pathetic and cowardly enough to send your guards to attack from behind without coming yourself. You are so pathetic that you want a pack that, in your own words is being run by 'little boys'. You are so pathetic that you want a pack that has already flourished. Why not just build up your own pack and stop this unnecessary noise,” I watch as Morey's face turns gradually darker. “So don't you talk about being pathetic, else I will be forced to reveal the fact that your t
Chapter 106Alexa's POVI sigh, hurriedly walking towards my chambers. Finally able to get the Alpha off my back. He has been pestering and teasing me after the Alpha of the Greenland pack and his minions left.I catch sight of someone pacing around the front of my chambers. I walk towards the person in slow, careful strides.“Ace?” I called out in surprise. He turns towards me.“What a nice surprise,” I mutter. He had been ignoring me for a while. Suddenly seeing him in front of my chambers is indeed surprising.“Can we talk?” he asks calmly.“Of course. Do come in,” I reply, opening the doors. He steps in and I follow right behind him. I sit awkwardly on my bed, wondering what it is he wants to talk about. This is a little uncomfortable. I've never had to hold myself back when speaking to him, but now it feels like I'm walking on eggshells around him, so I don't end up saying the wrong thing. I watch him in silence for a while.“I…,” we both started at the same time.“You can go fir
Chapter 107Alexa's POV“Luna, you have to eat something. You haven't eaten anything since this morning,” Kira said worriedly.I lay on my bed, panting slightly.“I can't keep anything down, Kira,” I mutter weakly. Whenever I eat, I feel a metallic taste devour my taste buds and my hunger dies down. The constant need to urinate had me consuming less liquid.“You have to try. Here, eat this,” she replies, holding out a plate to me. Immediately I caught a whiff of the scent, I ran into the bathroom and emptied the entire content of my stomach. My stomach clenches painfully. I sit on the floor, panting heavily. Kira rushes in and helps me up as we walk back to the room.This has been going on since the previous evening. “Did you eat anything that could have caused your sickness?” she asks nervously, looking confused.“I don't know,” I croak, my throat feeling dry and sore. I grab my head which is throbbing painfully in my hands. I can't seem to remember anything I ate that could have ca
Chapter 108Alpha Kai's POVI'm so happy that I'm barely controlling myself so that I would not end up scaring Alexa. I'm going to be a father. But Alexa does not look quite happy.“What's wrong?” I ask nervously.“I just was not expecting this,” she replies.“We both were not expecting this. But I'm glad this happened. Aren't you?” I ask incredulously.“How can I be? Have you seen us? We don't have any love or trust between us. My life is messed up. I still have a lot of things I have to do. How are we going to raise a child like this?” she asks, looking stressed and frustrated.I understand how she feels. I was also not expecting a child so soon. I had wanted to win over her love and trust, then, after the war, help her retake what was taken away from her before thinking of starting up a family. But I just could not help myself, and I had sex with her without precaution.I take hold of her hands again.“I know I've treated you terribly in the past and there's nothing I can do or say
Chapter 109Ace's POVI stare at Kai's shocked expression nonchalantly. He asked the question so he should be expecting an answer.“So you love her?” he mutters, gazing at me intently. My eyes meet his gaze without looking away.“I never said anything like that. I was just asking you a question,” I reply. “Speak clearly. Don't play games with me, did something happen that I don't know of?” he asks. I sigh.“We have a war coming up. You should concentrate on that,” I mutter, turning my back and walking away. There's no need to say it in words. He must have already figured out what I meant.I walk to my office dejectedly. It's been a while since I told Alexa that we should stay away from each other, and we haven't seen each since then. We agreed to remain friends, but who am I jesting, I can't remain just friends with her. I've fallen for her too deeply to do that.If only Kai didn't fall for her too, we wouldn't be here right now. I get to my office door. I push it open and step insid
Chapter 110Ace's POV“You had better be saying the truth. If you are lying, so you can get to me, you will not live to see the sunset,” I threaten, staring darkly at her. Deep down, I was really hoping that all that she just said was nothing but a lie.She crosses her arms in front of her with a sigh.“Why would I lie? What can I possibly gain from that? I heard the doctor telling them about the news this morning. It's a fact, and you threatening me won't change anything,” she replies with a smirk.Alexa is with a child? Kai's child? How can that happen? My heart starts palpitating as my hands tremble. “What are you going to do now? Wait until the child is born, so he can call you Uncle Ace as you watch Alexa and Kai living happily with many more children. Are you going to continue being the second option? Second in command to your brother and now second to Alexa? Are you going to be able to live with yourself knowing you never fought for the woman you love and that you've lost her?
Chapter 111Ace's POV“H…how did you find out?” she stutters, clearly shocked. “Nothing can be hidden in this pack house for long, Lexa. You don't want to come with me because you are with Kai's child, right?” I asked hoping she would say no. My eyes dart toward her hand that she absentmindedly placed on her stomach. That little gesture was the only confirmation I needed.“So it's true. How could you, Lexa? You said you didn't love him. You said you are only with him for his power, and now you are with his child? Do my feelings mean nothing to you?” I utter hurtfully.“I didn't mean for any of this to happen. But it's done and there's nothing anyone can do about it,” she said, moving closer to me.“I consider this child a blessing. Look on the brighter side, you are going to become an uncle,” she smiles at me.The word uncle just made me angrier than I already was.“Uncle, huh?" I mutter, pacing around and finally stopping by her bedside table. “Do you think I want to be your child's
Chapter 112Alexa's POVTwo months laterI lay in my bed, rubbing my baby bump slowly. It's still not that obvious when I'm wearing a dress, but my stomach is definitely not as flat as before. The Alpha is laying his head on my chest. I sigh.“Don't you have work to do?” I asked him.“No, even if I had, I won't go. I want to stay here with you,” he mutters softly. He has been this way for the past two months, he wouldn't give me a breathing space and just follow anywhere I'm going.“Luna, time for your medicine,” Kira said as she came in with a bowl.“No, I don't want it,” I reply disgusted. It tastes bitter and disgusting. The smell is horrible. They've been subjecting me to this torture since I became with child.“Common now, Luna, don't be stubborn. It might be bitter, but it's good for you and your child. You will want to give birth to a strong and healthy heir, don't you?” she asks, and I mumble along with her. I know everything by heart.“You've been saying this for the past two
