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 "I'm so sorry for barging in, I didn't know that you were busy." I apologized and turned the door knob so that I could close it gently, then returned to my room and cried my eyes out. But he didn't let me do all that, instead, he pushed Mira away gently and faced me with a blank look. "Why are you here? I thought you wanted to rest. " He asked and I almost snorted. Kai was very proud and it hurt me that I was merely seeing it now. He was kissing this new woman some weeks after his wife's death, was this his extent of his love for her?"You have forgotten that this room isn't far from mine. I changed my mind and decided to go to the kitchen when I heard noises. If I knew that it was from you, I'd have passed by." I explained and lowered my lashes. "Maybe you should learn how to mind your business." He replied curtly and waltzed out of the room. I watched him leave then averted my gaze towards Mira who had a cunning smile plastered on her lips. However, it disappeared
Corey's POV "Do you think I won't catch you?" A growl reverberated into the air as I ran harder. It felt like my legs weren't making any movement because I was stuck in a spot. "Don't hurt me, please," I begged and knelt on the floor, curling my body into a ball so that I could shield my child. My pursuer laughed hysterically then shifted into a werewolf like the ones I saw before Tracey's death. "I will make your death quick, and the baby's too." He said with a dark smile and his eyes turning red. He raised his claws against me, intending to pierce any part of my body with it when my eyes fluttered open and I woke up with a loud scream. My door pushed open with Kai and Jasper running towards the bed. Sweat poured out of my body as I shook visibly."What's the matter?" Kai asked, his deep voice laced with concern for the first time after Tracey's death. His concern worried me because he had always acted like he didn't care. But I wasn't going to ask him, I'd pretend like I didn'
Kai's POV "Don't you think we should pick drop her at the hospital? It would be much more easier for her." Mira asked as we got into the car and I snorted. There was no reason for me to go and pick her up. She irritated me so much even though deep down, there were some feelings that sparked in my heart anytime I talked with her or even had a conversation with her. "Don't bother yourself about her," I said nonchalantly and pulled the gear backward, reversing the car from the garage so that we could leave. I caught her figure standing at the facade with her eyes holding disbelief. I felt a guilty but I shook off the feeling in a split second. "Thank you for being nice to me, Kai. I didn't expect you to choose me over her." Mira said, causing me to scoff. "Choose you? I'm not choosing anyone, I just do what I want to do." I stated blankly, catching her off guard. She sighed and massaged her temples in frustration. "You can drop me off here. I'll find my way," She muttered and clut
Corey's POV My heart raced with excitement as I walked through the facade of the house into the house. The ultrasound revealed that I'd be having a male child. I nearly let out a scream but I held it back in so that the people around wouldn't see me as crazy. I'd have to tell Kai about it later, maybe during dinner or when he was alone so that Mira wouldn't interrupt us. I'd gotten to the hallway which was quiet save for my footsteps when I overheard a voice. I hastened my steps and tiptoed quietly towards her room which was before mine, then placed my ear on her door. "Kai came to see you? Why?" She said and kept mute so that she could hear what he said. Then she walked around, her heels clicking on the tiled floor angrily. "No matter what you do, don't hurt Kai. You know how much I love him." Cold chills ran down my spine as I wondered whom she was talking to. Even though I didn't know who it was yet, it was obvious that she came to Kai's house with a plan. Her steps became l
Corey's POV "Don't allow me to show you the other side of me, Corey. I don't want to scare you," He said in a dangerously low tone. I snorted, propping my arm against my waist while I glared at him. Who the hell did he think he was? "What do you think you've been doing these past few days, huh? You've been treating me like a whore you picked from the club and the murderer of your wife when all I've done is to care for you." "Stop talking! Corey. Don't push me, please!" His plea tore my heart apart, but I was livid because of Mira's unnecessary interference in our lives and how Kai distanced himself from me. I pushed myself closer to him, causing Mira to take a step back from Kai. "And why should I stop? I'm not your wife and definitely not your maid that you can treat anyhow you deem fit!" My voice climbed with each word that left my mouth, but I wasn't done yet. "I didn't kill your wife and I didn't get pregnant for you on purpose. We were both victims of our own conflicting emo
Corey's POV I stared at him, his eyes reeling with conflicted desires. We both wanted each other, but there was a strong barrier between us and no matter how much I needed his touch and kiss, I couldn't allow him to touch me. Not with such anger. "Get off me, Kai. I don't feel comfortable with how close we are and I don't want you to start thinking that I'm seducing you again," I said sharply and watched him move away from my body hesitantly. I'd wanted to get him jealous, but I couldn't understand why everything felt so wrong. "Don't allow him to come that close to you next time or he will lose his job," He threatened, his nose flaring in anger while I scoffed which further infuriated him. "You won't do that, Kai, because Jasper has always been with me when I needed him the most. The nightmares have subsided a bit, thanks to him, so if you want to relieve him of his duties, think of a concrete reason." I debated, sitting up properly. His eyes flashed in anger at my words, but 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
