TRACY'S POV.TWO WEEKS LATER.My confinement would finally come to an end today, I could not be happier but I had been feeling very strange with my body since yesterday night.My whole body stings and I also found it very difficult to sleep, I could not even lie down on my bed because as the fabric rubbed against my skin, I felt very uncomfortable and uneasy.I also noticed that my nipple was hard, I tried touching it this morning but even my touch felt very unconfortable to me, as if it was not my own.There was also this crave, I could not really explain what I was craving for but I wanted it so much, so bad that I became distracted and could not focus on anything.But, It felt very painful.The pain was not much when it started yesterday night but increased as time goes on, my body stings.I just finished taking my bath after struggling in the bathroom for hours, werewolves don't get cold but strangely, The water felt cold to my skin.After that, my temperature started fluctuating.
TRACY'S POV.I followed the maid out of the mansion with so many thoughts on my head.After the incident with my Step father, I was taken to Elder Reed and given to the Alpha as a gift while Elder Reed bought me from my step Father.The amount that my Step Father collected was unknown to me, The deal was between him, Alpha Reed and a man that always used mask, he was very mysterious but he was in cahoots with my Step Father. It was unimaginable how cruel and unfeeling my Step Father could be, How could he frame me and sell me to a stranger's abode just for his selfish reasons?Well, it was not new. If he could attempt to force himself on me, what else would he not do? If not because of the Goddess' protection, I would not have been able to escape from his clutches and my life would be ruined with no repair.Elder Reed was also after some thing that i was not sure of, I did not know why he chose to spend so much money just to send me to the Alpha, I had been terrified thinking that he
TWO WEEKS AGO, BEFORE TRACY'S CONFINEMENT.KIA'S POV.After Elder Helena left my office that day, I quickly made a call to Scott and told him to come to my office.He was only able to come back in the night, I guessed that he was investigating the case from earlier and he arrived at around 9pm. When he entered and saw the mess on the desk, his face gradually changed and he frowned."What happened?" He asked after bowing slightly to me."As you can see, the papers have been ruined." I told him calmly and he nodded."But, how come? When did the maids start getting clumsy? Do you want me to change all of them for you?" he asked and i shook my head."It was not the maids, it was Tracy and Amber.""Tracy? Your breeder?" He asked to confirm and I nodded. He was quiet for a while and I raised
TWO WEEKS AGO, BEFORE TRACY'S CONFINEMENT.KIA'S POV."Take some men with you and search around. Since the crime was just committed, I am sure that the culprit must have left some clues or any traces." That was the last instruction I gave to Scott before he left.Speaking of which, I had forgotten to ask him about Hunter, I could not help but wonder what he was up to because he did not show up at all, nor did he notify me or anything.Although I was worried about him, I had another headache.The matter at hand was getting even more complicated, our suspects kept dying one by one, it was as if those people knew what our next move and plan would be.Could it be that they had another spy in here? Were the spies here that much? had I been too lenient that I did not even find out?I was busy with the case and, Tracy.
TWO WEEKS AGO, BEFORE TRACY'S CONFINEMENT. KIA'S POV. After teaching those two Guards a lesson, the whole place became silent and you could even hear the sound of pin drop. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything, some were even shaking subtly but I ignored all of them and walked away. I did not have their time. Soon, we got to Ben's room and Hunter brought out the keys before opening the door, the moment he did, I was surprised when I saw a woman crying on the bed inside the room. She was visibly shocked when she saw us, she quickly fell on her knees and started sobbing. "Please, just kill me, k...kill me, How could you take him from me? he did nothing wrong and just treated me well, kill me, what is the use of my existence when he is already dead? Kill me, just kill me, why? Why?" The woman choked as she sobbed. Her sentences were incoherent so I could not really understand what she was talking about. I stared at Hunter in question and he shrugged, indic
TWO WEEKS AGO, BEFORE TRACY'S CONFINEMENT. KIA'S POV. Lisa confirmed that Ben told her the hideouts of those masked people and i nodded in satisfaction. Now, we were getting somewhere. What we had to do now would be to ensure Lisa's safety so that they would not get to her, I would also use that chance to check up on the man in the Hospital and find out if he also knew something. "Alpha, Ben also told me that those people did not want his two friends to expose themselves so soon but because of the man you caught, they had no choice but to rescue him or else, their plans would be completely ruined before it even started. When those two left, they wanted Ben to continue their works and monitor your movements, also he has to continue with the killings." "Also, he also said that they wanted to make the people rebel against you, they knew that you would not leave the Alpha position willingly. So, they wanted to use the people to force you. They decided to kill people everyday and pl
TWO WEEKS AGO, BEFORE TRACY'S CONFINEMENT. KIA'S POV. After that short episode with Lisa, Hunter and I made our way to the Hospital. Scott already told me that the man was recovering pretty well, so I wanted to see if the man had anything to tell me. As my chauffeur drove towards the Hospital, Hunter looked at me through the rearview mirror before speaking up, "Alpha, that woman from earlier, What if she was lying? What if she is also one of their people?" he asked and I raised my lowered head to look at him. Then, I smiled. Lying? Lisa was lying to me? Was that even possible? "Do you think she has the guts?" I asked condescendingly. Hunter was stunned for a while before he nodded knowingly with a smile. Some matters did not need too much of explanation, we've been friends for so long, so he should understand what I was trying to say. "I understand now." He said as if he could read my mind and I nodded before looking outside the window. I could not help but recall what Lisa
TWELVE DAYS AGO, BEFORE TRACY'S CONFINEMENT ENDED.KIA'S POV.Scott suddenly turned to Hunter with his eyebrows raised slightly, "Hunter, how is your mate? when should I expect my godson?" His voice was calm and his face was expressionless as if he was just talking about breakfast or dinner or even the weather. Hunter's face visibly changed before he averted his gaze from him, while looking around the office as if it was the most prettiest office in the world."Oh! You can't talk anymore? Cat caught your tongue? You refused to resume back to work even after your break ended, you sure have grown wings, do you think that I will continue to keep quiet and watch you like the Alpha? After spending so many days with your mate, you should be able to give me a godson right?" Scott teases but he looked very serious. "How is that your concern? Why should I tell you anything? why don't you also find a mate and give me a godson?" Hunter rebuked weakly but Scott sniggered."I've not found one ye
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
