Tracy's POV
"Hunter, what are you doing here?" I questioned, my tone demanding.
"Shush, the tone of your voice makes it look like you were kidnapped." He chuckled, his smile warm and soothing.
"What are you doing here," I demanded in a much lower tone.
"Looking for you?" He looked half amused, raising an eyebrow at me.
_Is Hunter looking for me? From what I can remember is even more wicked than Kia is_
"And why are you looking for me?" I pressed, " Let me guess, Kia sent you here?"
"Not at all. I am here on my own." He protested.
"Okay?"
"Can we please sit somewhere? There is something I would like to discuss with you."
"If you said so," I agree, "Montero's kitchen is right across the street. I was heading t
Garvin POV"Adler, make sure there are no traces or evidence that point back to us to you understand?" I demanded while descending the stairs. I had decided that it would be suspicious to call Tracy first. "Yes sir," he nodded"My Alpha, you have a visitor," Lisa announced. The door opened to reveal Tracy.Bingo! I beamed."Adler, we will have this meeting next time," I declared, my eyes not leaving her as I waved him off, "goodbye for now.""Yes, Alpha Garvin, I'll just take my leave, sir." Adler bowed slightly before leaving."well, look what we've got right here, Tracy," I smiled, walking towards her."Alpha Garvin," she greeted, her voice carrying a tinge of sadness, " sorry to bother you. I heard you were in a meeting with Adler"._its barely twelve hours, and she is already addressing me as Alpha?_"Tracy, why," I began, slapping my hand to my head... "I've always warned you not to call me Alpha Garvin. You should refer to me as Garvin. I thought that we were cool with that"."
Tracy's POV"You can not come, Tracy. Are you deaf," Garvin yelled at me. But I was still undeterred. It was my son that was inside there."Maybe I am," I sneered, "you can't just go and leave me here; I need to protect my child.""Tracy, you will alert the --The sound of a gunshot came, cutting Garvin's words Short."Tracy, go low quickly," Garvin yelled, and I fell flat on my stomach.Turning to the security we brought along with us, his voice low and authoritative,"Sylvia, instruct them. You guys can go through the back." He ordered, watching the environment as they disappeared into the back of the building. "Tracy, hold on to the Hem of my shirt and follow behind me. Ensure not to make any sound"."I won't," I nodded. _not when my son's life is at stake. I would willingly
Tracy's POV "You say what now?" I blurted out, my hands shivering as I took the phone from Lisa. "A certain Hunter is calling you." She repeated, studying my face carefully. "Um, Lisa, excuse me, let me go take this," I expressed, walking out of the kitchen and to a far corner of the living room. "Alright, miss" Turning back at intervals to ensure no one was coming behind me, taking a deep breath, I pressed the answer button. "Hello," my voice came out in almost a whisper. "Tracy Murphy, am I right?" Hunter's hollow voice came from the other end. "How did you get my number?" I sneered. "You seem to be forgetting that I am quite capable here," he chuckled lightly, "Plus, you own a company. Your contact info is on your flyer, out on display," he made it seem like it was just common sense. "Ohh," I managed, smacking myself in the head internally. _I should get a new flyer invented and a change of contact info, or I could get a new SIM because only the moon goddess knows how m
Tracy's POV"You are up quite early Tracy," Garvin remarked as I descended the stairs, rubbing my eyes as I did."Um, yes," I answered as soon I got close enough, "it's been a while since I visited the company. I, um, want to go find out how things are going over there in the office," I completed, yawning once more."Ohh, you need a ride or-"No, not at all," I interjected, " Um, I would go fabric shopping as well. You know it's best to dress and appear as neutral as possible to blend in at the market." I explained, making pointless hand gestures."Ohh, okay." He nodded slowly. He was paying keen attention to my body movements._did I seem all too jumpy? I hope he does not notice anything._"You are leaving now?" I inquired, noticing for the first time since I got down that he was dressed in a dark green suit and a chalk-white button-down shirt. His hair was permed, and I could see streaks of light brown highlights in them."You look outstanding," I added, instantly regretting my comm
Kia's POV."Tracy! Tracy, can't you hear me," I called in a slow voice. Following her closely. She was pretending not to hear me. I could not be mistaken about the scent. I had sensed it from afar. And when we locked eyes, I couldn't be more sure who it was."I said, Tracy, stop there," I thundered. My voice came out a little bit too harsh.Turning abruptly and clutching her veil tighter, she narrowed her eyes at me, "Excuse me, do I know you?""Oh, drop the weird accent and answer me." I rolled my eyes, sandwiching her between me and the bathroom wall."What is it, Kia?" She sneered, finally admitting that she was indeed Tracy."So it is indeed you," I mused, examining her features closely."What is it?" She spat, "Why did you follow me down here?""Because I am surprised? Surprised that you came here," I admitted. _I could have bet a million bucks that Tracy would never set foot here, given how she treated me back in the moonlight pack. And her new relationship with Garvin. Was he
Tracy's. **** Laying in bed with Kia, everything felt right. Like all my troubles were behind me. "It's 4 pm already." I exclaimed As I sprang from the bed, "I have to go." Kia's eyes widened, his body sticky from all the sweat. His eyes showed disappointment as he sat up on the bed. Supporting his body with his arm, "But can't you-" "Sleepover?" I cut him short, adjusting my clothes in front of the mirror, "No, I can not. I need to go home to Kian," "And Garvin," he mumbled. "Come on now, don't be a big crybaby," I laughed, putting my hair in place. "Only the moon goddess knows when you will be back," "I will come back, I promise," I assured, kissing him on the forehead. "But for now,"--I reapplied my bold lipstick over my lips, "I have to go," "Send my greetings to your son," he called out behind me, "I will," I yelled back. Dashing out of the room. I scanned my environment as I walked, my eyes darting everywhere to ensure no one had seen me leaving the room. "Going somew
Garvin POV.'hahhh! fuck damn it, Tracy!. damn you!" I cursed as I threw another glass of drink across the room._where the fuck did Tracy go without telling me_"Alpha Garvin, here is some wine. Maybe it can calm you down in the meantime... Sir, by the way, what is going on? The room is destroyed,” she pointed out. But I don't want all that. I want Tracy to be mine. Can't she?."Lisa.""Sir.Would you please be so kind? Stop asking me silly questions that you don't need to know, and get out of my room!"Sir, I am just curious.I want to know what happened to Tracy if she and her son is in a good state. I heard you were shouting and breaking things in the room... so_ I want to know if anything is going on with Kian or Tracy.""well, Lisa, nothing is happening with me, Kian, and Tracy
Tracy's POVWaking up in the morning, I had set up an entirely different planner.Parting the windows and making my bed.All that seemed to turn out dull.I barely got any sleep. No, nothing, just me and TikTok videos against the bed when I got a text from Kia."Hi," I smiled, picking up the call."I just wanted to know how you are doing,"I finally made it to the office after a week of my return. Was I scared that things would go haywire without me? No! My assistant could handle things in my absence, and I didn't doubt her for any reason.But did things with the customers spiral out of control in my absence? Well yes.Calm down, ma'am. Your order was mixed up, and we will correct it in a few minutes if you can. Please keep your voice down, one of my sales representatives
Kia's POVThe elders were still very much in shock that I had a son."Honestly, exactly how long is it going to take them to get used to it?""We have to run a DNA test immediately," one of them said."Get on with it already! How many times have you said that?" I asked. "Or are you scared of finding out the truth?"He bared his teeth at me, but I smiled smoothly. I had nothing to fear since I had done all my preparations and I knew the truth.My confidence was probably disarming to them, but they still went ahead with the DNA test."Come along, boy," one of them said to Kian.I looked to my side at him. "Go on now. They won't hurt you. You'll be back with us before you know it." He nodded silently and went along with the elder."Are you sure this is not a bit too rushed?" Tracy asked."I'm sure," I said. "I guess what, I've never been happier in my life." I leaned in and kissed her on her cheek.She seemed a little nervous accepting the kiss from me. I could see clearly in her look th
Kia's POVEven after waiting for someone, he did not show up, and I began to wonder whether something was wrong. The boy had finished telling me his story, and now it was my turn. He looked at me expectantly."Before we have this very serious conversation," I said, "since he is not here, I think we would just do it without him."I looked at him seriously. "Now, are we going to have to do it a second time because he is not here? Because you have two people to apologize to.""No," she said. "Never mind that.""All right," I said."I'm sorry," she said."Sorry for what?" Kian asked her.A single tear streamed down her cheek as she spoke. "Your father is Kia here," she pointed a finger at me. "I've kept the two of you separated for so long now, and I'm very sorry about it."He looked stunned, but I wasn't surprised at all. After all, I had figured it out myself.She looked at me, her eyes pleading. "I'm so sorry," she said. "I am ready to accept whatever punishment you have for me," she s
Garvin's POVArriving at the hospital, I found myself walking straight towards Tracy's ward. Right now, I hardly knew what I wanted or why I was here. What I did know was that I had only an hour to spend. After that, I'll go back to the office to see how far we are with the documents and the secretary.I felt really excited to give the secretary the job of spying on the elders because I knew that it would surely be very fun."Yes, and then I will order her to deny any connections with me immediately if she gets caught," I thought, the plan making more and more sense in my mind. The more I thought about it, the more excited I became."Who knows? They might have information about who sent her to them," I thought. The thoughts were very exciting to me.Shaking all of them out of my mind, I focused on the task at hand. Right now, I was in the hospital to find Tracy, wasn't I? To confront her about the life-changing news that she had hidden from me for so long.She was going to pay for it
Kia's POVI kept on checking my watch, waiting for Garvin to come before I broached the subject with her. After all, it would not be a bad idea for me to finish the topic once and for all when he was here. It was going to be a very nice party, and I was probably going to enjoy it.No, I realized, looking at her face. I was not going to enjoy anything about the Great reveal. It was going to hurt to hear it from her that I was the father of the boy. And him coming here could make the environment a lot more tense than it should be.Tracy was looking at me. I could feel her eyes. I wondered whether I should glance up to meet them and whether she would see the betrayal in mine. I had been waiting to confront the topic ever since, but now I found myself backing out. Later, there was no rush, after all.She was looking at me, staring intently, so much that I had to look up at her.Our eyes met, and I couldn't help but feel a crushing sorrow mixed with disappointment at the crimes she had com
Garvin's POVI tried to collect my thoughts and keep my composure while sitting in the office. The files that I had to keep on signing were a consistent source of annoyance, especially now that my mind was in another place. Now, I had a lot of things to worry about apart from the inconsequential office work."What are those elders up to?" I thought, knowing that they would not come here for something as trivial as Tracy. Last I checked, they did not really care.The door opened, making me really consider getting another secretary for myself. Somebody that was more docile, somebody that was polite and cautious enough to freaking knock on the door before entering."Yes, do you want anything?" I asked, not in any way hiding the irritation in my voice."There are a few more documents for you," she said in a little voice, as if that would pacify me."Are they for me to sign again?" I asked."No," she said, "they are for you to read."My eyes narrowed as I observed her. "Are you seriously go
Kia's POVI waited patiently for the boy to begin telling us what he had in mind. Maybe it had to do with what he said, that he would rather talk to his mommy about.He hesitated, looking at me, feeling his eyes resting on me. I looked away for a while, wondering about the best way to deal with the situation. I was definitely going to hear what he wanted to say, even if I had decided to let them have their peaceful private conversation. Now that I knew I was his father, I couldn't keep myself out of his life for much longer."I should stop pretending," I thought, looking at them, and showing that I knew he was looking at me."Oh, is it a private conversation?" I asked."I told you before, I want to talk to only mommy about it," he said."Fair enough," I said, "after all, I am just a distant relative." I zeroed my eyes in on Tracy, and as she opened her mouth, not waiting for her to say anything, I got up and walked out of the room. Calmly, I would just have to listen from outside the
Kia's POVWhen she gave me the confirmation that she was able to finish her food, I found myself relaxing. Well, that meant that she'd gain a lot of strength and then I could ask her a lot of questions, didn't it?He ate calmly, and I watched her intently, not knowing what I was looking for. Soon, all of a sudden, she started to choke."Dammit, I should have thought about that," I thought, getting up immediately, looking around for water. Surely, there was a sink in here.After scanning the entire room with my eyes, I found out that there was none."I'm pretty sure that hospital wards are supposed to contain sinks for water," I said, even as I stormed out of the room in search. "Like, what are they supposed to do if the patient suddenly wanted to vomit or to clean up his face? There needed to be a sink in it.""Or is this place a very cheap one?" I asked, trying to figure it out. "If it was cheap, then it made sense why they were not able to provide all the rooms with all the necessar
Kia's PovEntering the room, I immediately fixed my gaze on her. I wanted to know whether she was awake or asleep. Honestly, I did not know which one I wanted more at this point. I definitely wanted to talk to her and pour out my frustration, but at the same time, I wanted to run away from that conversation as far as possible. Kian jumped on her bed with a happy expression on his face. 'No boy, you don't want to wake her up if she is still sleeping.' I said in my head, the words refusing to come out. Maybe I wanted her to wake up after all. She did not react, meaning that she was still sleeping. At least I had some time to prepare my mind.I looked down at the bag in my hand. It contained the food I had bought from the restaurant. It is sure to calm me down, I thought. I came nearer and sat on her bed, observing her as she slept just as I had done for the past couple of days. Shaking my head in disappointment, I left and pulled out a chair from a corner of the ward. I looked aroun
Kia's POVEven I couldn't figure out the reason why I was on my way to get every pasta by myself instead of just ordering it online. Or maybe I should give it to a servant to get it; any one of those options will do, but I found myself going personally."Do I just want to get out of our presence for a while?" I asked, featuring her face, my mind stuck on the face that had hidden away so many secrets from me. Who knew how many were still hidden?"Uncle, you're not focusing on your driving," Kian said. I noticed that the car was driving slower and slower because I was applying pressure to the brakes subconsciously. In addition, the car was already turning towards a gutter."I'm sorry," I said sheepishly as I adjusted the car. "Maybe I just need a little rest.""Not just rest, you need plenty of rest," he said, his voice cheerful. The joy in his voice almost made me happy. Almost."I think that is the restaurant we are looking for," he said, pointing.Through the rearview mirror, I could
