TRACY'S POV. "Sir, please tell the Alpha, I really did not do it, I am innocent." With a quiver to the tone of my voice, I begged the man earnestly with tears in my eyes.He was the only one that could talk to the Alpha for me, I saw how he talked with the Alpha and they seemed to be very close, so he might be able to convince him for me and prove my innocence. I really did not do anything, Why was that so difficult to believe?The man stared at me strangely but I was not scared. His gaze might be strange but I did not feel any animosity from him, he was also not looking at me with pity or with lustful eyes. So, it made me conclude that he was definitely not a bad person. I did not know if he would help me but I could only try my luck with it.I could not just sit still in the cell and wait for a death execution for some thing that I did not even know anything about. Even though I did not really know anything about the operations in the pack, I knew that if the Alpha could order to
TRACY'S POV. The man that went to call Lisa for me suddenly stared at me with a hint of pity and guilt in his eyes, I could feel the gaze on me and it made me even sadder.A sense of gloom washed over me like an icy veil, making me cold all over and I lowered my head.I was just thrashed for nothing, for the things that I did not know anything about.With hoarse voice, I turned to the man instead of turning to the Alpha, he hated me to begin with, so he would not care if I was wronged or not."Why?" that was the only thing I could ask at that moment. Why was I punished? Why didn't they listen to my explanation at all? Why me? With reddened eyes, I asked the man. I could feel that woman's gaze on me too and my eyes reddened even more, I felt so wronged and the pang in my heart was agonizing.The man cleared his throat before speaking up, "A murder has been taking place recently at the pack's border, many of our people died due to an un known reason and it was always a gruesome death,
TRACY'S POV.The fall made me wince and It seemed that my ankle sprained because I had fallen with my legs, my knees gave in and I fell to the floor.Coupled with the wound I had before, it was so painful that I had the urge to cry out in pain. The moment I fell earlier, I fell with my back and the impact made me grimaced in pain, I had also slammed my hands on the steps earlier, so it was all bruised and swollen.My whole body was so painful that tears welled in my eyes, my nose turned sour and I nearly cried out but I did not, I held it all in, without raising my head.I could feel many eyes on my body and it made me feel even more ashamed. I had been humiliated too much in just one day, I felt used.The gazes plastered on my body was contemptuous and disdainful, some were of mockery and jest, none of thm emphasized with me in any way and I felt a stuffy feeling in my heart. A scrutinizing gaze suddenly landed on my body and I suddenly felt that powerful aura, then my nose was assa
TRACY'S POV. After showering for a while, I felt that the blood on my wounds should have been washed away, so I gritted my teeth and attempted to remove my gown.The fabric had already stuck to my wound, but because the wound is wet again, it sas easier to remove it but it was still very painful.Throughout the process, I could only bit my tongue and endure the pain. Even though I just took my bath, I had already started sweating due to the pain, my already pale face became even paler and my eyes turned red.After some minutes, I finally removed the gown that sas already in shreds and I threw it aside. I panted amd gasped for breath after like a dog that just ran a marathon.My back felt so painful that I even had the feeling that it was going to tear apart. I turned on the shower again, to clean the wound, since there was nobody to treat it for me.After the shower, I walked into my room in my birthday suit and sat on the bed. "I still have a roll of bandage but I don't have any di
TRACY'S POV. "I understand." I said in a low voice with my head lowered.Amber already had a way with the Alpha, so i was sure that the Alpha would not have my time again, it would be better if I did not cross my boundaries because I know that if I did, no one will support me at all.Amber had all the power and almost everybody here respects her, so it would be a bad idea to go against her.Moreover, if I was not careful, Amber might convince the Alpha to chase me out. I was already thankful that Amber did not chase me out yet, I knew that it was the Alpha's doing, he probably still had a tiny bit of affection for his breeder. Amber looked down at me, because she was putting on a six inches heels, it made her very tall and with my short stature, she looked down at me condescendingly. I had never felt so ashamed of my stature as I felt at that moment but I could only lower my head in silence. "Now, join the others and start working." she said and I nodded before entering the kitche
TRACYS POV.I knew that with what just happened, Amber would definitely take revenge, I started feeling uneasy but I did not regret what I did at all.It was at that moment that I realised how possessive I was and it was probably because the Alpha was my mate, how nice would it be if he also felt the same way towards me?Shaking my head, I pushed aside those impossible thoughts and fantasies before making my way towards my room while limping slightly. My wounds reopened yesterday night during the moment that I was being tossed around by the Alpha. Even though it became very painful and intolerable at some point, I did not dare to cry out.It was not because I did not dare to cry out alone, It was because if I refused the Alpha, he might seek Amber out and I was sure that the woman would surely find a way to tie him down with her and by then, I would not have a chance to serve the Alpha again.Serving him was the only thing that I could do to make him start liking me, I did not have s
TRACY'S POV.I listened to Amber's story with a very bitter expression."Alpha, my Mum came here to apologize for how she had behaved towards you some days ago but you are not in, so she decided to wait for you. She was so eager to apologize that she did not eat breakfast when coming, so she told the Head Chef to tell the maids to prepare a light meal for her while the Head Chef keep her Company.""Tracy woke up late and did not come down after so many hours, the maids had to do her own share of work, so I had to call her and when I did, she saw my mother and could not even greet her as an Elder. Mother scolded her but she still did not greet and even ignored Mother.""Mom was benevolent, so she let her go by giving her a small punishment and that is to serve her tea. My Mom has the habit of drinking tea before eating, so she used the chance to tell Tracy to make it and my Mom lik
KIA'S POV. I did not want to believe that Tracy did not have anything to do with Ben's death but after Lisa confirmed that she was really innocent, I had to take a step back. It was sure that Lisa was not lying, she did not even dare to lie since it was about her Mate's death, she wanted revenge, so she would make use of any chance or oppportunity to apprehend those that were responsible for his death. If Tracy was really among the masked people, Lisa would definitely be the first person to talk. I was sure that she did not know Tracy at all, so I was assured that she was not hiding anything or helping Tracy at all. So, it was finally confirmed that I made the wrong judgement and decision but I still did not want to admit it. Even if she was not among the masked people, it was true that she was sent here by the Elder with an ulterior motives, some I knew about and the rest I was not so sure of but I did not even care, I did not even want to know at all. So, if she was not respons
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
