TRACY'S POV.I was surprised when the unfamiliar man said that there was a spy among the guards. I could feel the Alpha's anger as it pulsated through him like an heartbeat and I could not help but shrank back into my seat.He was always very scary when angry, I was not sure of what he could do, so the best thing I could do was to keep quiet and keep my distance, so that he would not vent his anger on me.The more the unfamiliar man talked, the angrier the Alpha became, I gripped the hem of my gown tightly in nervousness, the temperature of the room suddenly went down dramatically and I shivered, goosebumps rising from my body and my eyes darted around, not daring to look at the Alpha, lest he turned to me and accused me of been rude.There was nothing that man could not do when he was angry, the rumors about him could not help but rise in my head and my heart skipped a bit.'He's our mate, you don't have to fear him.' Crystal said but it was as if she was also not sure, her voice was
KIA'S POV.The first thing I saw when I entered the room was the small figure of a woman in the couch, she curled herself into a ball as if the couch was too big for her.I did not know why but before I realised, my steps became lighter and I locked the door silently, so as not to make any noise to wake the sleeping Tracy. It was unknown to me why I cared so much for her, I just could not help it. It was as if my whole body was telling me to just treat her well and not maltreat her but I did not want to be irrational. After locking the door, I walked towards her slowly and as if I was under a spell, I bent down to her height and at close view, I could not help but marvel at her beauty.She does not have an extremely beautiful face that could topple a kingdom but she was gorgeous. She had the kind of beauty that would become more appealing the more you look, she gets prettier the more you look at her.She had a very pleasing looks and a naive expression.I also could not help but adm
TRACY'S POV.Instantly, I lost the appetite to eat the food when I heard what The Alpha said next and I could not help but laugh inwardly in bitterness.What was I expecting?For him to just start caring about me like in some fairy tales? For him to miraculously realise that I was his mate and we would live happily ever after?For him to realise his mistakes and apologize to me?What the hell was I expecting?I only had my self to blame for hoping too far, I was hoping for something that was beyond my reach and was hoping for somebody that could never be mine in the first place.Who's fault was it that I hoped too much and had too much expectations?The Alpha did not feel the mating bond and even if he does, he was not called the ruthless Alpha for nothing. Why would he care for a puny breeder, a servant like me when he had so many options, Amber was there and some other beautiful and competent women with good family background, so why would he bother about a slave?'Don't talk like t
TRACY'S POV.The sunlight seeped into the room gradually to indicate the beginning of dawn and the dim room became bright in an instant, making me unable to keep my eyes closed any more. I squinted my eyes opened and looked around the room with a hint of drowsiness in my eyes.After the morning sun tenderly woke me, occupying the room with its warm sparkle, a startling and furious knock at the door broke the quiet air.If I had not completely woken up prior to that, I became clear headed at that moment instantly. Startled, I hastily walked towards the door, my heart beating with a blend of confusion and dread. As I opened the door, I was met with the sight of Amber who was obviously vexed, her face flushed with outrage and dissatisfaction.She was seething with fury and my heart skipped a bit.Amber stared at me for a while before smiling hatefully, "The Alpha called for you." She said and I opened my eyes wide. What was happening?Even if the Alpha wanted me to come, there was no
KIA'S POV.I knew that it was wrong to treat Tracy like that, but I wanted to prove it to my wolf that I did not care about her, so i had no choice but to act that way towards her.But when I heard her sniffs, My reaction instantly went down and I cursed inwardly. Why was it that she could affect me no matter what she does? it was not just me, she could also affect my body reaction. I was previously hard and rigid but the moment I heard her cries, it was as if my dick had a mind of its own and my erection went down drastically.No matter how much I tried to force myself to be hard, so that I would be able to achieve my goals of hurting her to satisfy my ego, I just could not.It just did not work and it made me annoyed.A spy sent by the Elders got me whipped, who would believe that? And I would become a puppet of the Elders through her, that was definitely what they wanted.My anger rose like tidal waves and I stiffened on top of her, unable to enter nor leave as it would hurt my se
KIA'S POV.After reading through the files, I realised that there was nothing suspicuous about the movement of those two spies."Alpha, they came into the headquarters with three other werewolves and they were recruited after passing the required test, they've been staying with us for more than two months and no one has ever complained about them.""Also, they don't have any family members and they came from an orphanage, they've been friends since childhood."Scott explained and I nodded in agreement. There was nothing suspicious about their movements, so our only option would be to find clues from their friends."How many of them came into the pack then?" I asked with a solemn tone. "Five of them Alpha, the man in the Hospital was among them." Scott replied and I marked that man out, leaving just two people."Those two werewolves, how are they?" I asked and Scott stared at me."I will do that Alpha." He finally lowered his head and nodded. Scott and I had been together for years,
KIA'S POV. "What have you done??!!" I yelled in exasperation, my voice loud and it reverberated throughout the entire office.Tracy and Amber shuddered in fear and their eyes dilated in anxiety, Amber's eyes darted around, she looked at the files before looking at me.In anger, I dashed towards them and I pushed Tracy away harshly, she staggered and nearly lost her footing but after struggling for a while, she finally found a foot hold as she held the chair for support. I walked towards my desk and checked the files on the table but I saw that everything was a mess. All the files and documents that I left on the table were either wet or stained.Probably due to the force, most of the papers had already torn and some were already showing signs of tearing, I clenched my fists in anger as I raised my head and eyed both Amber and Tracy in anger.My gaze finally stopped on Tracy's pitiful face and i suddenly scoffed.All the files on the desk contained the information about the case that
KIA'S POV.Knowing that I was been schemed at by the two women made me feel very dissatisfied and stifled. It really trampled on my ego as the Alpha. My gaze landed on the two of them and I announced solemnly, "Here is your punishment."Tracy visibly shuddered when she heard me and her face turned slightly pale but I ignored her and continued talking grimly. "The two of you will be given twenty lashes immediately after." I announced and Amber heaved slightly in relief while Tracy turned pale, her eyes reddened and she quickly lowered her head when our eyes met.I should have punished her alone and pardon Amber but Amber already crossed her boundary. If I did not do some thing, she would continue to push her weight around and continued behaving as if she was the owner of this place, something that I did not want to see.She already did too much and I was tired of all her tactics, I knew that I needed to teach her a lesson. I knew why she felt so relieved when she heard what her punis
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
