Kai's POV

I felt uncomfortable at the office. Deep down, I could sense that Tracey was hurt and I needed to be with her.

I stopped by Lorena's desk and watched how engrossed she was in sorting out some files on her desk. When she finally noticed my presence, she flinched.

"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know that you were standing here." She apologised.

"You don't need to apologise, you're just doing your job. I'll go home now because I have something important to attend to. Take care of things while I'm gone and if anything comes up, don't forget to inform me." I instructed her.

"Yes, sir. I'll do just as you said."

After making sure that everything was fine at the office, I clutched tightly to my bag and walked towards the parking lot of the building. I checked my wristwatch and discovered that it was just some minutes past noon.

I dialled Tracey's phone but it rang and there was no response. Her action was appalling because she hardly ignored my calls no matter how busy she was.

    Corey's POV My doorbell chimed as I'd decided to stay put in my room ever since Sarah confronted me at the bar. Her coming around had incited suspicions from Tracey and no matter how much I tried to put away the guilty feelings, they didn't go away. I got up from my bed and flung the covers that were over my body then raced through the hallway to the door of the living room. I peeped through the peephole and found Tracey standing with a curt smile on her face. Something was definitely wrong. "Good afternoon, Tracey. How are you?" I greeted her warmly and I pushed the door wide so that she could come in. She did, but my eyes caught the sight of her luggage on the porch before I closed the door. "I'm fine, Corey, and you must be splendid." Her tone was sarcastic which was very different from the friendly time she used on me. "Yes… I am.." I stuttered, trying to gauge the reason for her awkward response. "Have a seat, please, and maybe you can tell me why you left your box outside

    Kai's POV My phone chimed on the table. I ignored it even though it could be a business call. Nothing gave me joy since Tracey left two weeks ago and every breath I took felt like it was one step to my death. It would have been better if she rejected me than giving me such cold shoulders. Damn! She wasn't even picking up my calls. The phone rang again and I picked it up without checking for the caller's identity. "Hello..""Good morning, sir. It's Mark Thomson speaking from Wales Industry, one of the companies that you did business with some months back." "Oh… How are you?" I asked and placed my head on the headrest then swirled my executive chair around. "I'm fine, sir. My boss asked me to invite you to a business conference that will be held in two days. We believe that it will be beneficial for your company seeing that you are growing in leaps and bounds." He stated and I stifled a yawn, feeling bored with the conversation. "Alright. Which state will this conference hold?"

    Tracey's POV I jerked up from the bed and turned my bed lamp on, darting my eyes towards the clock hanging in my room. It was past 10 pm but why did I feel so burdened and restless?It wasn't because I missed Kai so much, it had to be something else. My phone rang and I quickly reached out for it on the bed stand. I got a missed call notification and realised that she had called four times a few minutes ago. I swiped up and picked up her call. "What's the matter, Corey? I still don't want to have anything to do with you." I said, my voice laced with hostility. "Please, you have to come back, the house is on fire and I'm scared that it has spread. I'm trying to leave but the exit door is locked which keeps me trapped." She replied, her voice shaky and filled with fear. My heart constricted knowing that Kai wasn't around. "But how did the fire start? Did you leave any of the cookers on?" "No, Tracey. I heard a yell which jolted me from my sleep, and then I turned the light on and

    Kai's POV "Honey, please, stay with me." I pleaded and placed her head on my thighs as blood sipped through the injuries she had. She entwined her hand with mine and stared into my eyes with a smile. Then she averted her gaze to Corey who was sprouting on the ground. My face turned into a frown as I only noted one thing; Corey was the reason my mate was in this pain. I was close to our pack's town when she mindlinked me and sent a message so I had to hurry and get to her. If I'd believed Callan and ordered a search for Dexter, then my mate wouldn't be going through all of this. "Kai…" She mouthed, "I'm so.. sorry for.. leave… leaving." She stuttered, gasping painfully causing my heart to tear into two. "No, baby, you didn't do anything wrong. I was the one who hurt you badly by sleeping with another woman then bringing her here." I replied, but I could see her slipping away from me. "Take.. Take care… of… her." Those were her last words as she turned cold and frigid in my hands

    Corey's POV I stirred restlessly on the bed with my eyes tightly shut, but my heart thumped fast as I hid between a rock in my dreams and waited for my pursuers to overtake me. Luckily, I found one and hid in it until I heard a growl at my back. I darted my eyes sharply at the sound and found a big wolf standing behind me with his claws stretched against me. "No!" I screamed at the top of my voice and jerked up the bed with sweat filling my skin. I quickly turned on my bed lamp and climbed down from the bed, panting heavily and palming my chest. I was very sure that I wouldn't be able to sleep again so I thought of who to go to. I'd have called Tracey if she was still alive but she was gone. My eyes brimmed with tears as I remembered how kind and caring she was. If I wasn't around, she would have still been alive. The wind howled, slapping against my window. I couldn't take it anymore, I wore my crocs and glanced at Lolly who was sleeping peacefully then ran to Kai's room. His

    Kai's POV My eyes settled on Corey and Jasper who were taking a stroll around the house. She looked happy even though her eyes showed glints of sadness and wariness. Her pregnancy was already becoming visible and I couldn't wait to know the paternity of the child. Even though Tracey died because of Corey, the greedy part of me wanted her child to be mine. I took my gaze away from them and ordered a guard to bring them to my room. They walked in smiling then put some distance between them when they got to me. "You asked me to come, I thought you didn't want to see me." Corey started, folding her hands with a plain expression. "I didn't forget, but I want to formally introduce the both of you." "Is there any need for that, Kai. I've met him already and he's a very nice person. He is meticulous and very gentle, I think he ...." "Enough!" I snapped at her, "I think that there's no need for any introduction. Jasper will be with you till you give birth," I said to Corey and she nodd

    Corey's POV "So, tell me about your past," Jasper said as he sat beside me on the bed while I crossed my legs. We'd bonded the few days that Kai introduced him to me as my nurse. Just as I'd described him to Kai, he was very caring and represented who nurses really were. "There's nothing much to say. My ex betrayed me with my girlfriend and ever since then, a lot of things have happened." I briefed him, cutting short the rest of the story. I wasn't sure that he was a werewolf and I couldn't risk telling him their secrets. "Let's take a walk. Do you know this place so well?" I asked, eager to leave the house. It would have been more conducive if Kai had been friendly with me, but he just treated me like a mere concubine that he could talk to any time he wanted. "I only came here recently, but I also want to see for myself what makes this place so outstanding," He agreed. If Kai felt that he could control my life by bringing a male nurse to me, then he was sorely mistaken becaus

    Kai's POV Mira looked shaken and her house was in disarray. Her hair was tousled and her face red and puffy with tears. She must have cried a lot, I thought then wondered who tried to steal from her when she just came newly. "Are you alright?" I asked and placed a hand on her shoulder. She drew closer to me and wrapped her arms around me, sobbing on my chest profusely. "What really happened and why would someone come to your hotel room just to destroy your things?" I probed and searched the room which was disorganised. "I don't know, Kai." She stated blankly. "Did you hurt anyone that might like to take revenge on you?" "I can't say. I've never had good friends around me so anyone might want me dead for reasons I don't know. I just want to be out of here so that my mind can relax. If I stay here tonight, I might lose it." She stated and held me tighter. "Who says that I'll allow your life to be at risk again? You're going home with me," I said firmly and her hands dropped to 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
