Tracy's POV "Uh, hi," I said softly, hoping to sound as calm as possible. "You promised to call me," he probed, my head conjuring up his image. His voice seemed to mask my senses; I am sure he was putting on one of his signature smirks. _moon goddess, how could someone be dangerously handsome?_ _Beep beep, the machine sounded beside me, reminding me of my current situation. Kian is still in the hospital._ A deep pang of guilt hit me as I became conscious of my thoughts and surroundings. _'How could I be worried about my feelings now? Knowing fully well that my son is in a critical condition._ "Fuck," I cursed, slapping my palm on my face. "Are you still there?" Kia's voice rang from the other side. _'shit! I am still on a call with him, '_ I cursed Inwardly. "Um, yeah, I am," I nodded as though he were here to see me, "What were you saying?" "Wait," he paused, "are you in a hospital?" His question took me by surprise. I forgot that his hearing senses are second to none.
Garvin's POV"He might remain this way for a couple of weeks, a month, maybe we are not sure yet, but his brain is still trying to absorb the shock," the doctor's words dropped like a bomb in the room. I tried to remain gloomy, propping my head up with my hand, trying my very best to hide the smirk That Was creeping onto my lips. This is undoubtedly the perfect way to keep Tracy in place for the time being, and I mean, how dare she! How dare she think of throwing my sacrifices away?I watched the tears run down her cheeks, ruining her light makeup. Why was she putting on the foundation today anyway?I thought she mentioned hating it before.It's probably Kia—that cursed mate bond. I usually thought it was a rumor that mate binds could not be severed entirely. That it would somehow find its way and ruin everything I had worked years to build.How would I torment Kia if Tracy goes running back to him? Thoughts of her and Kia cuddled under the sheets have haunted my sleep ever since
Kia's POVYou sent Hunter to the Moonlight pack? I inquired the minute i set my eyes on elder Jay. Putting on a light green shirt that complimented his complexion, and gray pants. His grey hair was put up in a ponytail, further enhancing his facial features. His lips were slightly upturned, and his eyelashes already had few Strands of grey in them. He was wearing the smug confident look he always wore. Walking as carefree as ever and he examined the new paintings I had added to the sitting room."Don't go accusing an elder that way," he retorted, still holding the painting in his palms."You know what I am saying," gritting my teeth as I spoke, I was not in the mood for his constant back and forths. "Nonsense," he spat, dropping the picture and walking across the room to meet me."Can I have coffee in your study?" He enquired the minute he reached where I stood, " There is a material I have been searching for I think you night have it here." "You did not go to the academy library to
Kia's POV"The death of my parents thought me the never trust anyone."_especially another pack. I hope they are proud of me now, I hope they are happy that I followed all the advise that was given to me._"Which is an even more reason why I am standing by you," his line of words stunning me. Blinking severally and shutting my slightly ajar mouth."What do you mean?".I narrowed. My eyes searching for answers. "I watched you grow Kia," he breathed, his shoulders falling lightly, "I was practically best nfrieds with your father" he began. My mind flashed back to the several paintings of my dad I had saved. Elder Jay was in almost every picture and I thought maybe he was only try to support the Alpha. So he was best friends with my dad?. "Then why aren't you his beta?" I blurted out despite knowing that the system doesn't quite work that way. "Because," he shrugged, " I did not want to be one. I prefer the semi peaceful life I am living."_and my father obviously loved his pack a lot_
Tracy's POVThe stabbing ache in my back was nothing compared to the several times my heart broke just seeing Kian in such state. His eyes were shut tight and his lips pressed in to a thin line._dear moon goddess, please heal him.' muttering silent prayers to the monn goddess, I believe this is a punishment for everything I have done. For always thinking about just myself without considering the feelings of other people.__firstly, Garvin, I was selfish to always ask for his help. To always depend on him. Then he asks for just one thing Tracy. One thing and now I am finding it difficult to give him just one wish__or is it Kia? He spent months in this pack. Disguising as a ordinary person coming and paying visits, asking for my forgiveness. But what did I do? I pushed him away. Severally, not once or twice. I would not miss the opportunity to embarrass him a
Tracy's POV"Are you sure, Doc?" I inquired, straining my neck to see Kian. He was stable and his breathing was even.But I wanted him to wake up. Wake up and tell me how much he loved me. How he was lucky to have a strong woman as his momma. How much he bragged to his class mates about me. How much of a great mom I was and how proud he was of me."I am one hundred percent sure. I will be leaving now," she replied curtly, turning towards the door."Miss," Lisa called softly, " I think you should have some sleep I will watch over Kian.""No I will not," I protested, "I will stay right here and watch him,""Miss we both know that Kian would not be happy to see you looking this way. The doctor already assured that he was out of danger s there is nothing to worry about. He will be up and out of here any minute," she assured me, standing beside me."Even more reason why I should remain here with him," I trailed off, I need to be the first person that sees him whenever he wakes up, but I do
Steve's POV_"But what if I find her and bring her back here?" I pleaded, my voice croaky as I thought of the huge amount of money I was required to refund. It is that cursed Tracy's fault. I offered her a fair deal. All she had to do was to leave under the Alpha. Is that too much to ask for? Must she always have to fi s a way to bring me suffering and pain.__"that would not do," Reed's voice brought me out of my thoughts. It took every ounce of self restraint in me not to inch over and rip his mouth apart. "You have quite the reputation of going back on your words," he added, flexing his wrists even though I could not see a reason why he was doing so.__"But you are asking for quite a lot of money here," I protested, maybe he would be willing to compromise since I had nothing left on me.__"it wasn't a lot of money when you sold her to me," he smiled, takin
Garvin's POVDashing into the hospital, holding a takeout bag firmly, the unfamiliar scent of methylated Spirit and blood hir me as I stepped into the facility."Sir sir," the receptionist called out from her front desk, "actually I am already here," I replied, not sparing her another glance as I does past her and down the hallway.Standing right in front of the door, .y chest raising up and down as I inhaled and exhaled quickly, wrapping my hands on the door knob before turning it open.The room seemed a lot more clustered that the state I had left it in yesterday._was there a stampede of belongings? I muttered underneath my breath._And what was that beside Kian? I paused, squinting my eyes as though trying to force my brain to make out what was going on."Ohh sir, you are back," Lisa jumped the minute she turned in my direction, rushing towards me with arms spread with open."Where is she?" I inquired, freeing my self from their embrace and taking a step backwards from here so I c
