Corey's POV I was in awe of Kai's mansion. Calling it a mansion was an understatement, it was an effing gigantic castle that only people like him could own. I didn't even dream of having something this huge in the next ten years. "You can get down and wait while I get our luggage." He informed me while I nodded and pushed the car door open immediately, eager to get a view of the house. It would have been possible if my reason for being in his house was genuine. My visit to his house was going to set his marriage aflame and I still had the guts to be here? I was very selfish. "I really love this place, it's so beautiful." I cooed. "You've been commenting on the house since forever." He chuckled in a relaxed manner, then straightened as if he wasn't supposed to be that free with me. "Will I be staying at the main house?" I asked with my eyes darting at the building opposite me. There were three buildings on the same land but the one in the middle was more enormous, obviously, th
Kai's POV I kept staring at the screen until Corey's fingers which clicked snapped me back into reality."Answer the phone." She advised but I left the call to keep ringing till it stopped. She stared at me like I was out of my mind, but I knew exactly what I was doing. It was safer for me to call her after choosing my words than lying on the spot. That wasn't my forte. "Why didn't you answer your phone?" She asked, propping her arms against her waist. "It's none of your business, Corey. We wouldn't be in this dilemma if you didn't seduce me." I hollered while she swallowed with her eyes getting misty. "I'm sorry about that but I'd like to have some time alone so that you can figure out the best apology that you will tender to your wife." She sniffed trying so hard not to cry. I hoped that she wouldn't give in to the tears and I looked away, straightening my T-shirt with the knowledge that I needed to be out of her room. But I couldn't do that without knowing where Tracey was.
Corey's POV Kai's words hit me hard but it was the truth. I was beginning to act like a homewrecker even when I knew that he was married and that whatever happened between us was a mistake. I needed someone to talk to, so I picked up my phone and called the only person that promised to be there for me. She picked up at the first ring like she had been expecting my call. "Hey, Corey. You took so long to call me, is the house that beautiful?" She asked with an underlying tone of jealousy. "Don't take it that way, Nats. I was just trying to settle into my new environment." I sighed. "Why do I think that other things happened while you were trying to settle in?" I could imagine her teasing smirk and giggling. She knew me so well that I couldn't lie to her. "You're right, other things happened. I kissed Kai and we almost did the deed again." "What! Girl, you're going hard on this man. What happened to the decision you made against sleeping with married men?" I asked myself the same
Chapter 31Kai's POV I was an Alpha, the ruler of my pack. I'd been ruling since my father died and even before he died, I'd already expressed my desire to lead. I was fearless and fair, but right now those qualities disappeared. Tracey already looked like she was about to faint and I couldn't reveal the truth to her, not until I was sure that Corey's baby belonged to me. "Who is she?" She reiterated, snapping her fingers which brought me back to reality. "She's our new neighbour, babe. I thought that I'd told you about her?" I asked, feigning surprise. "No you didn't," She replied. "We haven't had a real conversation, remember?" She reminded me. I wanted to frown because she was washing out dirty linen in public but it was obvious that she was getting too livid to care. And if I didn't act fast enough, she would explode. "I'm sorry that I have to tell you about her now, but the reason why I came to meet her was because she was searching for her cat. It's not used to this enviro
Corey's POV I cleared my throat to remind them that I was still there. "Is there any problem?" My eyes darted at the both of them, particularly on Kai who looked very uncomfortable. I couldn't deny that the situation was unnerving and the last thing I wanted was to have dinner with Kai and his wife. "Everything is fine, Corey. We were just wondering why you didn't know the moon goddess. Anyways, we have a strange religion and just like the Indians and Chinese who serve Lord Krishna and Buddha, we also serve our own God." "Wow, I never knew that you both are this religious. But it's cute though," I commented and waited for Kai to uncork the bottle of red wine that was served and share it amongst the three of us. "Yea, it is. So I'm wondering, Corey, so you live alone?" I swallowed nervously, fiddling with my fingers while my mind kept flashing several answers to her question. There was nothing I could do but tell the truth though in parts. "I live alone. Months ago, I was very s
Corey's POV My eyes burned as I blinked hard to keep the tears that threatened to flow in check. He looked so handsome in his white dress shirt with its sleeves folded below his elbow. His hair was styled in a comb-over as usual, but it looked more slick than before so I felt like running my fingers through it. I was so lost in his sight that I forgot that his wife was in my house. "Corey, who is at the door?" Her voice rang out from the living room. I got a grip on myself immediately with Kai's eyes widening in surprise. "My wife is here?" "Yes, you have to go. I don't want her to get angry and thank you for the cat, it's really beautiful and I'm happy that you came through with the promise. You and your wife seem to be good at keeping promises." I smiled, taking the little white furry cat from his arms. It had blue eyes which was simply adorable. I could go on and on for days, looking at the cat just getting lost in its eyes. Kai nodded and retreated, walking away briskly wh
Corey's POV "What?" He chuckled with an underlying mischievous tone. "You heard me, Corey. I want you for a night and I'm sure you want to have fun with me for the last time. Remember that the man you are crushing on will never love you the same way he loves his wife." "Stop talking crap, Ryan. I don't have feelings for him and I would never sleep with you for anything." I thundered, not bothered by the pitch of my voice while we were still in the building. "I'm not going to force you to sleep with me, my dear Corey, you will beg me for it. Just imagine your pretty face on the blogs as the woman that stole her friend's husband just because she was dumped by her ex. That will make the headlines and both you and Kai will bear the brunt."Tears flowed out from my eyes unrestricted this time. Ryan was an asshole and I wondered why I didn't see the signs before involving myself with someone like him. I sniffed and wiped my face with the handkerchief I'd produced from my bag. "Does Sa
Kai's POV She was gobsmacked to say the least but I still had other things to say. "Are you out of your mind? Who the fuck do you think I am, a slut?" She hollered, throwing her hands in the air with her eyes glowering. I took gentle strides toward her. She was on edge and any careless word I blurted could cause more damage. "Listen to me, Corey," I pleaded but she shook her head and broke down in tears. "You know what I thought while Ryan was making all the threats in the world? I was consoled by the fact that you will have a better solution once we talked about it, little did I know that you only have your own interest at heart. What makes you think that he won't keep coming back for more…"I didn't want her to say more, so I sprang on her and merged our lips together, shutting up every other word she wanted to say to me. She pushed me away with all the energy she had as her hand collided with my cheek. "Do you think that you can bribe me with a kiss? After all, you are already
Corey's POV My body still spiked with pleasure when I remembered how Kai loved my body last night. Our lovemaking was more intense than our first night at the club and I wouldn't be surprised if I got pregnant again. I was a bit subdued as we went on several rounds without getting tired and this morning he informed me that I would be crowned as his Luna, the same position that belonged to Tracey. I didn't know what it entailed to be a Luna or the Alpha queen but I was sure that with Kai's guidance, I'd do well. He returned to the bedroom with Blake in his arms. He was smiling and imitating Blake's barfs. My heart swelled with love and joy at the sight as everything still felt like a dream. I'd been denying myself of this for a long time but thanks to the moon goddess and our loved ones we both came to our senses. "What got you thinking?" He enquired and sank on the bed, causing it to dip at his weight. "I'm just realising how blessed I am to have the people I love so much a
Kai's POV Banners were placed at the town's gate which made my smile broader. It had a picture of Corey and me which was quite surprising because I didn't tell him that we were back together, then I remembered that our minds were linked so he could tell from my joyful emotions. "This is so nice. It seems like your people have missed you a lot." Corey beamed with a smile and I noticed that she glowed differently. I could say the same for myself as I felt very hungry after a long time and I also wanted to bury myself inside of her. I kept dreaming about this day since she left and everything was happening just as I imagined. "I never expected such a reception, they must have missed you so much." Corey assumed and I nodded in agreement. Ever since I assumed the position of the Alpha of the Dark Moon pack, the people had grown to love me because of how well I cared for them. So they showed me respect in return and obeyed the laws of the land. "I feel like eating you up right no
Kai's POV I was done arranging my bags but it felt so wrong returning to the pack without her. My eyes darted to the clock fixed on the wall for the umpteenth time, hoping that she would be here with me. She won't come. I wanted to banish the thought but then I realized that she wouldn't come, after all, she sent me out of her house the last time and hadn't called me till now. I wasn't sure I could move on yet but I had to return to my pack and immerse myself with royal duties. I picked up my phone and dialed Callan's phone. He picked up almost immediately with a cheerful voice and greeted me. "I'll be returning today," I informed him and silence followed. "Did you find her?" He asked, his voice less cheerful. "I have found her but she doesn't want me anymore and I won't force her to do something that is against her will," I said with a shrug though my heart was tearing into pieces. He sighed, understanding my pain. "I don't know why I feel this way, Alpha, but I belie
Corey's POV The cops dragged Will out of the building and the aggressive and lustful expression that masked his face was exchanged with terror. I bet he didn't know what was coming his way, the same way I didn't know that he had other plans for me when he asked me to come over. One of the cops that ran in first strolled towards me, his shoulder hung in the air confidently. He had a chiseled jaw with lean cheeks and a very attractive nose. His physique was alluring and I wondered why he wasn't a model. But then it was different strokes for different folks. "How are you?" He asked with a concerned voice. "I'm shaken but I'll be fine once I return to the comfort of my home," I replied, wrapping my blouse around my chest. He flashed a comforting smile at me. "He'll be interrogated and charged to court so that he can be tried. We'll make sure to carry you along while working on the case. Do well to take care of yourself." He said, patted my shoulder, and turned around to leave
Corey's POV "Thank you, Will. How do you feel now?" I asked, making sure I hid every trace of nervousness in my voice as I could sense that something was off. "Actually, I feel better now that you are here." He replied with a sardonic smile that caused my hair to rise. Apparently, he wasn't sick and he didn't know any other way to bring me to his house other than faking that he was sick. "That's really good to know, Will." I smiled, fiddling with my fingers. "So do you want me to drive you to the hospital right now?" I questioned, hoping that he would give me a positive response. He chuckled then dipped his hands in his pocket. "Not yet darling, why don't you make yourself comfortable while I get you a drink?" He offered. "That would be nice, but I need to use the toilet." I lied. He gazed at me for a while then shrugged. "The toilet is at the end of the hallway by your right." He directed me and I quickly turned around, forcing myself to feel comfortable in his presence.
Corey's POV Natasha returned home and found me seated in the same spot, my only luck was that Blake was peaceful and rarely cried even though sometimes I wanted him to cry just so that I could feel that I had a child. "Corey, are you alright?" She asked, wearing concern on her face like a cloak. She flung her bag aside and averted her gaze upstairs then sat beside me on the marbled floor. "Is it Blake? Did anything go wrong with him?" I shook my head, still at a loss of what to say or what to feel. "Kai came here today with Jasper." I blurted and she flinched in shock then time up in anger. "What the hell was he doing here? I thought what I did to him the first day would be enough to keep him away from you." She hollered, pacing from the end of the room to where I sat while I massaged my forehead. "Kai isn't just any kind of man," I replied and wanted to add that he was a werewolf but I decided against it as they didn't even want to be known. "He has money, power, and in
Corey's POV I took a walk around the garden, even though I was still scared of having Kai pass by and find out that I was staying in Natasha's house. I rushed back into the pantry and took a pair of shears, gloves, a rake, and a dustpan then returned to the garden. Blake was resting peacefully in his crib and since I was still job hunting, I had to distract myself as being in the house all day had become very boring. I worked on some stalks which were growing really fast then gathered them together. I was engrossed in my work, humming along to the song that played on my ear pods. When I was satisfied with the work I'd done, I moved to the next rows of flowers that bordered along the fence. I felt a light tap on my skin but ignored it until it became consistent. I twirled around and my eyes met with the last person I was expecting to see. "Kai?" My lips shivered as his name left my lips, my lips narrowing in slits and the shears on my hands fell to the floor. He nodded wit
Kai's POV Lawrence eyed me like I'd gone insane but I was sure that Corey was sitting over there and I had to meet her. If I had to attract the attention I was trying to avoid then I'd do it just to make her come back to me. I walked briskly towards them, my heart thudding against my chest as several thoughts of rejection swirled in my mind. It was scary but the things I did to her were worse compared to what she was doing. Finally, I got to their seat and tried to catch a glimpse of her. Her friend who was all bubbly squeezed her face when she saw me, then I made a pleading sign while palming my hands. "Good afternoon, beautiful ladies." I greeted and then the woman who I thought was Corey lifted up her face. She wasn't her even though they had the same hair color and body physique, but she kept reminding me of her and I wished that she had seen her already. "Do you need anything from us?" She interrogated. "I thought I did but there's no need now." I felt like leaving im
Kai's POV I missed my pack badly, and though my heart was at peace when it concerned them, I still had the urge to be sure that they were actually doing well. I dug into my pocket and reached for my phone while my eyes darted around the nice café I'd come to relax in. Being away from Corey and my son for some weeks messed with my mind. I needed something to hold onto, but there was nothing. I didn't want to use a mind link since I was in public to avoid attracting unnecessary attention to myself. Callan picked up after one ring like he had been expecting my call. "Good afternoon, Alpha Kai. I planned to call you today." His voice was cheerful as he replied. "That's good to hear," I replied with equal enthusiasm. "How does being the temporary pack ruler feel? Draining right?" I chuckled. "Sometimes it is, but I can manage because you taught me how to and presently the pack's ruling council and I are working on the new resort. I'd say that some of them are very difficult to
