Kai's POV My eyes widened on their own accord as she demanded that I left her room. Was she jealous about what she saw before entering my room? "Don't tell me that you are jealous, Corey. She is my wife and she has the right to my body." She stomped her foot on the ground, "It isn't about that. I don't want this to keep going on. What we are doing to her isn't fair, Kai, she loves you and she trusts me and I'd have left if I wasn't trying to raise suspicions." "There's nothing going on with us, Corey." I denied but Corey wasn't one to be swayed easily. "I agree that there's no name to the kisses and intense looks we've been sharing but I hope that it all ends. My body might yearn for you like it's doing now, but I have a conscience which is satiated by guilt. I don't need you to add another layer of it so leave," She demanded. I'd have left if she didn't tell me that she desired me. Her words caused blood to rush to my lower member and at that point a flame of desire was ignited
Kai's POV I laughed loudly like I'd never done in a long time. Did he think I was a puppet that could be controlled as he wished? "Stop the jokes, Ryan. Even if you have anything against me I won't allow you to desecrate my bedroom. I'll text you an address where we'll all meet and get this settled once and for all. After that, don't ever bug our lives." I threatened and ended the call without getting a reply from him. I slammed the phone on my table and rested on the executive chair, swirling it around. Corey and I had to meet so I could inform her of his latest devices. I wondered how Corey put up with a man like him for so long without having the idea of murdering him. Some problems were blessings in disguise or she'd have been married to a beast. I massaged a stubble that was forming on my chin as I dialled the number of an old friend I hadn't seen in years. He was the only one who could sort out this mess. He picked up the call with a gruff voice with some female voices in
Corey's POV Anxiety welled up in me at the thought of confronting Ryan after our meeting at the boutique. I stared at my reflection in the mirror, what I saw pleased me but I felt angry that it was all for someone who thrived on the pain of others. When Kai told me that Ryan was around, my heart palpitated with trepidation. Anything could go wrong but one thing I was sure of, I'd never allow Ryan to hurt me again, that was why I tucked in a pocket knife deep down my purse. I heard a creak from the wooden door and took a deep breath before moving into the large bedroom. He stood there with his hands in his pockets, staring at me with lust-filled eyes.His dark smile unnerved me further as I clutched tightly to the vanity table, which dug into my palm. "It's nice to meet you again," He walked closer to me, but I stood my ground even though everything within me screamed that I ran away. "I can't say the same, Ryan. I'm still in shock that you pulled through your plans." I replied, m
Kai's POV I got up as a slight wince escaped my lips, my body was smeared in blood and my shirt was slightly torn. He shot me below my ribs and I let him because I was going to use it against him. Corey lurched at me with horror clearly written on her face. Her hands were shaky as she looked for clothes to stop me from bleeding further. "Don't worry, it's fine," I said and smirked. Ryan still lay on the ground, immobilised due to the punch I landed on his neck. "You're bleeding. Why did you take a shot for me? You could bleed to death," She cried, fidgeting with her own knife which she tucked into her clutch bag. "We… We need to get out of here really fast." She stuttered. I approached her slowly and brought her closer to me, massaging her back until her tensed shoulders relaxed under my touch. "I allowed him to shoot me," I informed her and she jerked out of my hold, her eyes peering at me in confusion. "Why did you do that at the risk of your own life? You could be dead righ
Kai's POV Ryan's eyes widened at my options, and his surprised look was so humorous that I had to stifle a chuckle because of how serious things were. "I can't go to jail. Why will you make a promise you can't keep?" He yelled as I shooed him. "You started the legacy, I just decided to follow suit. Besides, I'm giving better offers compared to what you had told me. You wanted to sleep with Corey on my matrimonial bed not minding what would happen to my marriage if my wife finds out. You should be grateful that you have a choice, Ryan. Now tell me which one you prefer." I barked in satisfaction at how scared he was. By the time I was done with him, he'd never thought of committing a crime. I stared at him as he bent his head and broke into sobs. His acts didn't affect me because he nearly ruined my life. "You have thirty seconds to make your choice or I'll choose for you and I'm sure you'll know what I prefer." I snickered. He raised his head, his face covered with sweat and his
Kai's POV Tracey slanted a worried look at me, but I patted her shoulders and led Callan towards the living room so that Corey wouldn't hear more than she should. "Dead? How did that happen?" I inquired, and then he folded his arms, lowering his head in thought while trying to process the information. "Speak up! Callan. What the hell happened?" My nose flared while I balled my hands into fists, wishing I could catch the perpetrator. Not too long ago, Tracey had been telling me to be more vigilant with the pack and now this happened. He took a deep breath, his face masked with calmness. "It happened last night in the woods, we tried to contact you but you weren't reachable. The family has decided not to say anything until you visit them, Alpha. I think you should do that soon." He advised and I nodded. I massaged my temples in frustration and paced around. "Tell everyone to be on alert including the omegas. I don't want to hear any other bad news while I'm dealing with this. And t
Kai's POV My hands froze on the note as all the memories of the past came rushing down my head. I couldn't imagine that the past could come back with such a painful sting. "Are you alright?" John's father asked when my face turned pale. "Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry, the killers of your son won't go unpunished and it doesn't matter if we go to war with the murderers, justice must be served. Training will commence tomorrow for every member of this pack. I know that we are warriors already, but it seems that we have gotten too comfortable," I informed him. "I'm ready to avenge my son even if I do it with the last drop of my blood." "That's fine. We'll take care of this, just be more vigilant and listen to your wife next time. I have to go," I advised and straightened the collar of my shirt.They bowed again as I pushed the door open and exited the house while thinking of a way to reach Dexter. I should have known that he was the perpetrator, but I thought it was just mere riff-raffs
Kai's POV My eyes popped at her question as I wondered what her motive was for asking me the question. "I was at home last night, did anyone tell you otherwise?" I asked and she shrugged. She was merely speculating and I had to up my game by getting the surprise I was planning for her ready. I'd have done it when I got back or even paid someone to do it, but I was exhausted from Ryan's debacle and I needed to rest. "No one did. I just felt like asking since you were so eager to send me away from the house." She replied, playfully and I felt better at her response. "Do you have any plans for today?" I probed, hoping that she would reply positively so that I would go home and do something romantic for her. It could be the last time we would do that until my case with Dexter was settled. "Yes, I do. I'm not done with the rural development course I was telling you about and the classes will continue till the end of the month. I'm a tad bit late because of the meeting but that isn't
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
