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 I eyed her angrily. "Who will hurt me?" "I can't say more than that, Corey." She said, her voice softer than I expected it to be. "Then there's no need to warn me." I retorted sharply and stalked out of Kai's room then stopped. "Remember to lock his room when you're done," I shouted from the hallway and walked towards the garage. Her warnings kept ringing in my head as cold chills ran down my spine. I had to go with someone and the only available person was Jasper. I sent him a text and waited for him to meet me. I heard his fluid steps coming closer and I straightened, stepping out from the car which I was leaning on. "Can you accompany me somewhere?" I asked, my eyes darting around to be sure that no one was watching us. "I can, but where exactly? Besides, you look troubled. Is there anything I have to be wary of?" He asked and I nodded. Jasper was just too smart to figure out anything and that was why I needed him. "I'm going to see Ryan. Let's get into the ca
Kai's POV "Good morning, Mr Mckleod." A male voice from Ryan's hospital called. I raised my hand to excuse myself from the board meeting, then left the conference room. I scrunched my face, wondering why one of the staff from the hospital would call me. "Morning. Is there any problem?" "Yes, sir. A woman who was identified as Corey Hamilton had a physical confrontation with Ryan Holmes. She fainted due to shortness of breath." He explained and my heart palpitated. "Who the hell let her in there? And why did she go in alone?" I growled, pacing to and fro in agitation. "We are sorry, sir, but we need you to be here quickly since she is having some health complications." He informed me, his voice croaked. "What kind of complications?" "She's bleeding, sir." My breath seized and it felt like the floor was shifting under my feet. If she was bleeding that meant that the life of my son was at great risk. Fvck! Corey. What did you do? "I'm on my way," I said and rushed to my office
Corey's POV My heart skipped with joy when I overheard the doctors whisper about Kai's confrontation with Ryan. If he did it because of me that meant that he still cared for me but was refusing to show it. I had to stay clear of Ryan knowing that he was dangerous and probably had issues in his mind. But why did it feel like he had plans that would put Kai and I in trouble? "How do you feel now, Corey?" Jasper asked, scanning my physical features. "I'm fine, Jasper and I'm so sorry for putting you in this mess with me. I should have allowed you into his room." I apologized, knowing that Kai would try to use it against him. "It's fine." He replied curtly and waited for Kai to come over. It was late in the evening already and I wasn't sure he would return to work after Ryan's debacle. My silly actions had destabilized everyone. I was really selfish. Kai opened the back door of the car for me and I got in, trying to gauge his expression but it remained stoic. I didn't know what to
Corey's POV I glanced at the broken shards and then at Jasper who was glowering at Mira. "What happened Jasper? You really scared me." He took a deep breath like he was trying to quell his anger. Slowly, his angry expression began to dissipate and it was replaced with his usual outgoing look. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to barge in like that. I'll get the cleaner to come and clean your room." He offered but Mira quickly got up to her feet. "Don't worry. I'll go and get one," She said with her face flushed as she dashed out of the room. I slanted a confused look at Jasper who shut the door and began to pick up the glasses. "Open the door, Jasper. A cleaner will be here soon and I don't want to give him or her any ideas." I warned, knowing how rumors could spread fast in the mansion. Kai was already mad at me and placed me on house arrest because of it, I didn't want to infuriate him further. "I can't open it until I tell you what happened while you were here with Kai." My heart
Corey's POV Kai's face was scrunched in disapproval as he glared at me, his eyes settling on my belly, then he walked towards Mira who was shedding crocodile tears. Unfortunately, Kai fell for her tricks as he cuddled her and ran his fingers through her hair. "What did you do to her?" He hollered at me and I glared daggers at him, angry at the fact he didn't care about me as usual. "You should have asked what she did that made me react in such a manner. The she-devil tried to kill me." I yelled. Jasper squeezed my shoulder, trying to calm me but I was livid seeing the both of them acting all cozy. "Kill you?" Kai asked and let go of Mira in surprise. He glanced at Mira who inclined her head. "What is she talking about, Mira?" "She's lying, don't believe anything she says. She said all those things out of jealousy." Mira shot back and I swallowed the urge to send another punch across her face. I laughed so hard that everyone became confused. "Jasper, show it to him," I said and
Kai's POV "Stay with me, please." I pleaded as I stopped her from falling, then carried her in a bridal style. I took her to the bed as she nodded awkwardly to every word I said, and then she relaxed on the pillow. "I'll be fine, Kai. I just need to rest." She shut her eyes as I stared at her lips and her beautiful pale face. I knew that she was beautiful, but my anger towards her never allowed me to dwell on that fact. Merely being with her felt like I was disrespecting Tracey. Her eyes fluttered open and her lips stretched into an alluring smile. "Thank you," She whispered and reached for my hand which she squeezed. "It's fine. I can't let you get hurt." "Do you need anything?" I asked and she shook her head negatively. "No, just stay here with me."It would have been a good idea if she wasn't looking sexy. I wondered why she appealed to me with her weakness or was she trying to manipulate me? "I don't think it's a good idea." I disagreed and moved away from her. Her eyes
Kai's POV "How did this start and I didn't get to know about it? Why doesn't anybody tell me anything?" I hollered at Beta Callan who had his head inclined, trying to avoid my wrath because I was completely livid. "You were unreachable, Alpha, and if you go through your call log you'll see that I've been trying to call you. I even tried Mindlink but you just blocked me out," He explained and I massaged my forehead. He was right. I'd blocked anything that concerned the pack because I was a complete mess and I didn't want to burden my mind with their problems, now it had backfired on me because they expected me to take care of their issues. "Do you have any idea of how it started and what might be the cause?" I inquired and his blank look told me that he didn't. "Not yet, but we are still looking into it and we should get an answer soon." He replied. "We can't take chances so call the ruling council and direct them to the other building where we can have a meeting. I don'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
