Kia's POV" I better make a move fast . I think It's best to call him back,"Pacing back and forth as I dialed the number._"isn't it wrong for me to give in to a nobody's request?"__"on the bright side,it is a video call so you can get to see his face, that way tracking him will be a bit easier for you wouldn't it?" My wolf suggested.__"you have a point,"__"I always do,"_"Ohh good thing you called back i was about to behead someone right here," his annoyingly high pitched voice came out as soon he picked the call.Peering into the screen, I hoped to maybe figure out who he was, but the bastard was putting on a face mask."Fuck!" I cursed."Nah ah ah, no curse word zone," he chuckled, obviously enjoying the show."Enough alright now its a video call as you said it should be be now I'm all ears,""I need money," he stated simply, placing a bottle of wine to his lips, as his father voluminous lips enveloped the bottle, gulping down the content."Money for what?" I demanded, ignoring
Tracy's POV* * *Opening my eyes to the dimly lit room, batting my eyes severally to adjust them to the darkness that surrounded me. The pungent smell of urine and what smelled like dried blood, invading my nostrils causing my stomach to churn in disgust."Where am I?" I mumbled as I struggled to sit up. "Ouchh," The sores on my body reminding me of how much of a bad idea that was causing me to wince in pain.Maybe I should just lay down and wait. I will beg my way out of here, the goons might have been mistaken about who they were sent to abduct.Echoes of footsteps filled the room. Narrowing my eyes in the direction of the sound, the figure was. The sound free nearer and nearer, causing my heart to fall into the stomach._what do they want from me now?_"I see you are awake," the figure laughed, stopping right in front of me, "did not think you would wake up this soon," he rattled on, hovering above me. He was putting on all black. A black trouser and a black shirt. His face was c
Kia's POVMy mind has been in a frenzy ever since the strange ma ended the call. What possession of min does he have in his possession? And the girl I saw earlier, could she really be Tracy? I had no way of telling. I only got to see her her eyes. Her lips were sealed and her hair was a total mess. I had been so sure, I can not be wrong.And what is taking Kyle this long anyways?Stretching my body, my hands landed on my phone, the phone I had been checking every second for a call from Kyle for.I hope he has some useful information for me.The ringing sound of the phone filled my eerily quiet room."Kyle, can you hear me," I said almost breathelessly the minute he answered the call"Yes I can sir," he replied curtly."Any info?" I inquired not willing to waste any precious minute."I am currently searching the houses off all.the park members sir." He responded."What is the development so far?" I probed, my curiosity getting the best of me."So far, no one happens to be missing from
Tracy's POV"Kian, Kian," I called, struggling to reach out to him, "momma is coming to save you,""wake wakey princess," a voice came in the background, filling the darkness where I stood.who owns that voice? was I dead about about to receive judgement from the moon goddess? what does she have to do about my selfishness.rubbing my eyes in the darkness, there was a creak of light in the distance, does this mean the end,? is that the path to judgement?dragging my legs towards the source of light.Batting my eyes to adjust to the brightness.“took you long enough” the voice came once again, as I flickered my eyes open, “ for a while there I thought might have been past news by now,”My entire body felt sore, and my bones cracked as I struggled to get up, right I was still tied.“huh, am I still here?” I questioned, my eyes darting in every direction, it can't be possible, I saw Kia, Garvin and even crystal. I spoke with all of them, I apologized, even though I know they would never f
Kia's POVI stood in the silence right after the strange man had ended the call.You have to bring Twenty Million before I can consider releasing her, his last words echoed in my head.My wolf was restless at the thought of him hurting Tracy."No!" I roared,“Where does he want me to bring twenty million from?” I roared into the air unintentionally startling Kyle who was standing beside me“What did he say sir?” Kyle inquired, his eyes examining my expression“He said he wants twenty million,” I stated, running my hands over his hair.“isn't that so much?” He exclaimed, “I think we should look for another means to rescue her,”“oh no no,” I protested, “he might do something to hurt her. if he wants twenty million then we'll give him twenty million,” I declared, “we'll give it to him if it will ensure Tracy safety,”Kyle slowly left my side and walked out of the study.. each step he took, fastter than the last.“What was he up to?” I thought to myself or has he lost his mind“sir come
Kia's POV “Do you have any idea why I summon you today?” I asked walking around each and everyone of them. they all had confused looks on their faces of course I understand their confusion I wasn't want to call an income to meeting or want to plan an impromptu fight “ We do not have any ideas sir but we do know that it is quite serious because you are not one to act spontaneously without informing us,” Rizla, the leader of the guards replied, his gaze Stern and serious. “Good we are going to be attacking an environment,” “Why would we sir?” He probed further, “ is there an upcoming war are we meant to take them by surprise,” “It's not a war but it might be if you don't act real fast,” I explained, my eyes boring into each of them, “I will give everyone the background story of what is about to happen,” I paused, looking for a way to piece my words together, “ there is someone who happens to have one of our members and he is threatening fire and brimstone on entire pack if we do
Kia's POV“try knocking on the door will you,” Hunter suggested, moving back to his hiding position,“ alright,” I hissed, rolling my fists into a ball as I placed,my shaky hands on the door, my heart threatening to bust out of my rib cageLanding a soft knock on the door, I waited for a while without a getting a response. “give him a few seconds he might be tiding up some stuff,” Hunter, said invading my thoughts with a mind link, “ five, four, three, two , one,” I counted before knocking harder on the door, almost kicking the door open.“who is it?” The hoarse voice came from the other side of the door.'oh you will know who it is when I am done with you,’ I cursed under my breath.'calm down Kia,’ Hunter pleaded, sending me another mind link.“It's Alpha Kia,” I managed, swallowing the bile that was forming in my throat.“oh, you are here,” I could sense the mockery in his tone.“remember the deal it's past seven o'clock now I am here,”“oh give me one second I will be there with
Garvin's POV His eyes were closed shut, his long lashes that were similar to that of his moms, resting on his cheek bones. The oxygen mask was resting on his face, supplying the air he needs as we both sat at the corner of the room watching him peacefully. Thankfully, in the 24+ hours Tracy has been gone, none of the machines has gone off. Where was she? I couldn't help but ask. We had spent the entire morning, rewatching the security footage over and over again. From the time she drove in with so much sooed that could be likened to that of a race car driver. To the way she dashed up stairs. I had not been more thankful for setting up CCTV cameras in every room in the house. I had opted not to bother going through any of the footages because I did not see a reason why I should. “Sir, don't you think it's wrong to watch out for what miss tracy is doing in the room?” Lisa's voice rang out the first time I had attempted watching the video. “It's not, when we are searching for he
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
