_
The faces of all the men seated in the board meeting were the same every time: boring and life-draining.
"I believe we have arrived at a reasonable conclusion, Alpha Garvin."
"Yes, yes. I, with this, declare this meeting closed," I announced, heaving a sigh of relief as I did. It was about time, anyway. My butt cheeks were already sore from sitting in place for More than five hours. The meeting didn't seem to want to end, and it didn't help that the time moved awfully slowly. Taking long strides back to my office, I locked the door to ensure no one else got in, throwing my tux across the room. I settled in on my sofa, not bothering to sit on my office chair at the moment.
My body needed a stretch.
My thoughts raced back to the dinner I had with Tracy. How Angelic she looked sitting across me. There is no doubt why Kia can't still let go o

Tracy's POVThe week was filled with lots of preparations for the runway walk-off party I was organizing, and it was the first of its kind. And, of course, I had to make it perfect if I wanted my brand to continue to thrive in the fashion world. "You seem to be putting a lot of effort into this party, Trace." "Isn't that what organizing a party Intel's?"Not at all, Trace, you got it mixed up. Surely, throwing a party does not mean you can not have fun now and then. I mean, grab a glass of wine or two. From her hazy eyes, it was obvious that she had taken a few glasses of wine herself, "No, thank you, Elena. I will pass," I declined softly."Speaking of which, I have never seen you gulp a single glass of wine. Don't tell me you don't drink." She countered"Exactly, Elena, I don't drink.""Whatever. Ugh, you are so boring." she turned her back to me, swirling her glass of wine in the air as she walked away."You still have some work to do, Miss, I called behind her."My timetable sa

Kia's POV.Walking around the room of the hotel I had lodged in for the past couple of weeks, I turned back occasionally to stare at the invitation Tracy had handed to me. The tone of her voice, when she did, sounded like it conveyed an underlying sarcasm, but there was only one thing I could focus on, and that was the fact that she had indeed invited me to her party-- I mean like a personal invite._Does it mean she was finally warming up to us? My wolf growled within me.__Enough, big guy. We should not get ahead of ourselves here, I warned._Assuming will only get our hopes high and lead to an awful disappointment. It was best to keep our minds neutral.-----In order to ensure that it was not a prank of any form, I settled on running past the venue that was included in her invite.They were keeping it simple and having the

Kia's POVThe party had gotten off to a great start. Everyone was howling and cheering the models. But I had my eyes fixed on just one person.She was yet to make her debut appearance, but her models swam in and out of the runaway, sashaying and swinging their hips attractive ouuu and ahhs from the cheering crowd. For someone who barely paid any attention to the fashion world, I found myself googling at some of the designs that were showcased, and it wasn't a myth that Tracy indeed knew her onions.Two seats away from me, to my right, am an old couple with dull white hair, neatly combed, the wife with a set of shiny pearls that hung loosely around her neck, delicately sips a cup of warm tea while wearing a huge smile plastered onto her face as her spouse chuckles deeply while conversing with her.Behind them sits an overly enthusiastic teacher flipping about cards to the uninterested children behind her. They seem extremely bored and do not pay attention back to her and arrogantly th

Tracy's POVGarvin's arms were hooked with mine causing my stomach to clench slightly. Garvin was generally good looking with his slender physique but it just felt like something was wrong, something I could not place a finger on.The press swam over to us, pointing various microphones at us. _this was a totally bad idea, crystal protested inside of me.__i know right, but it's for the best__i guess your priorities are misplaced__what do you mean?__shushh now, they are approaching us now._"So miss tracian do you mind telling us how the relationship came about?" One of the press buddies enquired, almost poking a microphone in my eye."I am sorry but she can not answer more questions," Garvin declared pushing press crew away."But sir--"Excuse us," his voice authoritative.****"Garvin I told you this was a wrong idea. Totally wrong" "Heyy the news just needs to sink in, chill"."I just feel-"You know why you are doing this right? To ward Kia offSpeaking of which. Did you see

Garvin's POV.Leaning in my chair, my lips permanently fixed in an upward curve. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach at the thought of the events from last night.The "oh’s and Ahh from the crowd filled my heart with so much contentment._who knew you get so much joy from staging something?_The eyes of everyone present at the event were widened to their fullest extent except one person. Tracy. She held her hand in mine, her body stiff and rigid with palms that served in mine."Take Deep breaths, Tracy," I whispered while still wearing the smile"I can't," she replied, batting her eyes repeatedly, "The press is everywhere and.. they are asking too many questions"I will take care of them," I assured her, tightening my grip on her hand. As I led her out of the crowd.***Reaching for my phone on the other side of the table, I tapped on the social media icon,Indeed, all my efforts would be pointless if the primary target did not get to see it. What would be the point of paying off a

Tracy's POV"Hey Garvin, why are you back so early?" I questioned. He had a mischievous grin, and I could tell that whatever brought him back could not wait."I have something to show you," he grinned even more comprehensively."What's that," I inquired, crossing my arms around my chest"It's important," he expressed, pulling out his laptop and placing it on the table, gesturing to me to sit. "What is-"Shush," he cut me off, placing a longer over my lips."Alright then, no questions," I mumbled.Whatever we watched was colored in black and white, with blurry films everywhere. The lights that flickered, that podium... I recognized this place."Garvin, is this CCTV footage?" I blurted, unable to contain my curiosity."Jeez, Tracy, can't you just watch.""Ohh," I mouthed.The models paced up and down the runaway, swaying their hips as they walked. I had to commend Myself, Stewart; his models were indeed professionals. Watching the event from this angle gave it a whole new feel. Maybe t

Gavin's POVI watched as her eyes widened, and her mouth fell open. Her lips moved, but no words came out of them."A fly might get in there," I pointed out.Her eyes blinked severally before finally moving in the direction of my voice. "I -I am sorry. I just," she stuttered, making confused hand gestures."You thought I was outside?" I helped complete her sentence, raising my eyebrow at her. She nodded in response. "Let's just say I had a surprise in store for you,""And this is it?" She gestured at the entire table, finally finding her voice."Good to know that you can still talk," for a while there, I thought you had gone mute. "Haha, nice joke." She rolled her eyes."Are you going to stand there and watch, or are you going to dig in and enjoy the meal before you," I teased, going round the table to pull out a chair for her."Right," she expressed, taking her chair directly opposite me, "thank you," she muttered."Could you help me take a picture of the meal?" I pleaded, not want
My Alpha Wants Me Back Chapter 95
Tracy's POV I sat in my office chair, unable to concentrate on the dozen of work piled on my table. My ocean-blue painted office no longer seemed like the creative space I had designed it to be. Garvin has been acting weird ever since the event. And no matter how hard I tried not to think about it, my mind kept drifting to it, causing my stomach to clench. "Ma'am, you have a flower coming from someone," my secretary announced, pulling me out of my thoughts. _Oh my goodness, are they from Kia? It's been a week since I watched the CCTV footage and saw Kia looking all majestic in it._ "Do you know who they are from?" I enquired, my voice almost breathless. "I have no idea, but it has a card," she pointed out, "I will take my leave now, ma'am," "Yeah, sure," I nodded, my gaze not entirely leaving the flower. It is most likely from Kia. My heart did summersaults at the mere thought of it. Who knows what he wrote on the card? He has the most perfect writing, and I know this beca

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
My Alpha Wants Me Back Chapter 256
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
My Alpha Wants Me Back Chapter 255
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
