Corey's POV I scrambled out of his hold even though I enjoyed every moment that his hands were wrapped around my waist. It was endearing to see him care about me that much and no matter how I tried to fight what I felt, it only got worse. "What's going on here? Is this why you asked me if I was going home after the meeting?" Tracey asked, her eyes narrowing in slits as she dropped her bag on the ground. I slanted Kai a look but he didn't return his gaze to me, rather his expression softened while he took some steps closer to Tracey whose breaths came in short pants. "I don't want you to misinterpret anything that is going on here, babe. I just wanted to give you a surprise since it wasn't possible for me to do it in the morning. I love you and I won't hurt you." He assured her, palming her face and then she rested her head on his chest. My eyes got misty as he assured her of his undying love for her, and my heart shattered into pieces even though it wasn't right. He was married a
Kai's POV I drove without restraint to Dexter's apartment. I'd called Lawrence last night and he was able to get me his house address even though it proved hard because of how private Dexter was. Anger surged through my veins as I imagined landing a heavy punch at him. Something was appalling about his house address, it was in the countryside with old and abandoned houses littered on each side. Our father had willed some of his properties to him and that was enough for him to live comfortably. If he wanted to live in the forest, it was his business. Finally, I found a house that matched Lawrence's description and parked my car opposite it. My mate wasn't aware of my plans and if anything happened to me, it would prove a bit difficult for her to find me. I walked quietly on the dried leaves which made crunchy sounds till I got to the front of his house. The smell of spoiled food filled the air, so I covered my nose to avoid throwing up. My eyes darted around to be sure that I wasn
Kai's POV I waited till I couldn't hear any sound then I aroused my wolf. It was easier to cut the ropes with claws than look for sharp objects that I could cut it with. With my eyes still shut, I stretched my hands, and slowly my neatly manicured nails turned into claws which were sharp enough to cut almost anything. I began with the rope around my hands and when I cut them off, I proceeded to tear apart the ropes tied to my chest. I undid the ropes in less than a minute and willed my claws to return to its normal state. My ears picked up some footsteps close to the door, so I got up hastily. There was a broken window which was close to me, and another one opposite me. I smiled, knowing that he wanted to ambush me so I headed for the window which was opposite me and hoisted myself up, jumping right through it. I dug into my pocket for my keys and opened the doors. My eyes searched around again for anyone following me, then I caught the sight of my pack members. He was a member o
Kai's POV I'd dug out his heart in rage but I didn't regret my action. The rest of them present would know better than to talk or go against me. Two of the guards who were standing near me came and carried him away. He was a traitor who didn't deserve to be buried so he would be thrown into the woods where the rogues will see him and take caution. My claws retreated into my fingers and everything became normal. "So, Callan, are the men ready? Do we need to give them more time?" I asked and returned to my seat. He got up from his chair, "They are ready. We have always been ready from the jump, all they needed was extra preparation which they are getting." He replied. I massaged the stubble on my chin and shut my eyes while thinking of my decision. Dexter had threatened me and given me a sign, if I relaxed he would strike and the outcome was going to be deadly. "We have to attack tonight. Let's all be on alert. We are to meet at the woods by 8pm, all geared up with our warring at
Kai's POV Tracey nodded and ran towards the other rogues who stretched out their knives. If they thought that they could use her knife to scare her then that would be the beginning of their deaths. She was a ruthless fighter that feared no one, no matter the size. I averted my gaze at the man who stood some distance from me as he dropped his quiver. My eyes scanned his arrows and noticed that they had silver tips with a black substance laced on them. He wanted to kill me with a silver arrow and wolfsbane, but I couldn't let him kill me that easily. I raced towards him and threw him a punch which he blocked. "That was weak, hit faster next time." He taunted me and raised his legs for a kick at me but I dodged him with my sharp reflexes and pulled his leg which I'd grabbed and set my leg against the one standing. He found himself on the ground. The torches we had hung on several branches shone brightly, illuminating the whole place. He glowered, shooting glares at me with his eyes.
Kai's POV The town was filled with victory chants as everyone screamed joyfully because of our victory. I'd never been more fulfilled in my entire life before. For the first time, I led my people to war and we returned successfully. Tracey walked beside me, our clothes were torn and her eyes were tired and wary. "We'll have to be discreet so that Corey won't suspect anything." She said, flashing a weak smile at me. "I know. It's not yet time to reveal who we are to her, she might get scared and leak out secrets and that is the last thing we need right now." I replied, agreeing to her suggestion. Callan intercepted us as we came out from the woods. "I need to speak with you privately," "Go and finish up what you started, I'm waiting for you by the car." She nudged me and planted a kiss on my forehead. I watched her walk away then I returned my gaze to Callan. "Is there any problem?""Dexter's body is missing. I searched around while we gathered the corpses of the rogues but I di
Corey's POV "How's she doing, doctor?" "What made her faint?" I felt pity for the doctor as they kept bombarding him with questions. My head ached badly and my stomach too still I tried to force my eyes open. A hand touched mine and finally, my eyes were forced open, the single act causing me to wince because of how stressful it felt. Tracey was the first person I saw and she smiled when she realised that I was awake. "Oh God.." I moaned in pain as I tried to adjust myself to a sitting position. "Relax," The doctor said gently, "Don't force yourself to do anything that you aren't comfortable with," She said and stayed out, darting my eyes to her. She smiled at me but I wasn't comfortable because she knew our secret and it was possible for her to blackmail us with it. "What happened?" I asked and touched my stomach quickly to ensure that my child was still there. "Don't fret, Corey. Your child is safe." Kai said and then I scrutinised him properly and noticed that he wasn't pro
Kai's POV Tracey dropped the tray loudly on the table and propped her arms against her waist. Corey and I exchanged looks as I quickly thought of an excuse to give her. "Urrr… Babe, she was just telling me about an experience that she had before she moved in here." I lied quickly. She nodded slowly, probably trying to connect the dots causing my heart to be on edge. I couldn't have her finding out the truth right now. "I'd actually like to know more about that story. It seems interesting, and I'd love to know how to deal with blackmailers." She smiled, but I could see through the smile and tell that it had a lot of doubt behind it. Corey picked at her fingers and began to cough lightly. It became stronger until it got worse and she began to sweat. Tracey rushed towards her with the glass of water she had brought and gave it to her. "I'm so sorry for stressing you." Tracey apologised while Corey nodded. My conscience pricked me again as it had been doing since Corey moved in. H
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
