Kai Mate. My mate. It kept resounding in my mind. Corey being my mate was all I could think about as I stirred on the bed incessantly. How couldn't I have seen that coming? After showing her so much hatred and giving her a cold shoulder even though she cared for me, the moon goddess still made her my mate to punish me. Sincerely, I couldn't think of a better mate than Corey though she was human. My eyes flashed open as I turned to the other side of the bed and checked the time. It was almost dawn so I decided not to sleep anymore since there were a lot of things to do for the day. I washed my face and headed for Corey's room at least to see her beautiful face again and that of my son too. He didn't have a name yet but I would talk about it with Corey and give him one. My life felt more complete than it was with Tracey as I had a son who would take over my pack and the family business. I'll hold him by the hand and guide him through every hard step so that he won't be alone
Corey Natasha was kind enough to wait for me till I got to her house. She gave me a warm hug, beaming with a smile. Her face glowed and I could tell that it wasn't because of my presence in the house. "I've missed you so much, girl. I never knew that I'd see you again." She squealed loudly as Lolly ran around the couch that early morning. We got to her house early in the morning and Jasper returned to his after dropping me off then surprised me by giving me a goodbye kiss to think about. "You forgot all about me and never visited. I almost died in that house and I felt so alone after Tracey died if not for Jasper." I replied, pouting my lips and feigning anger. She was about to reply when my baby cried from his cot so I rushed hastily to pick him up. His cries were like music to my ears, not because I wanted him to cry all the time, but because it reminded me that I had a living child and not a dead one. Natasha got up from her chair to come and see him as well. "He's so
Kai's POV Sitting in one of the wooden chairs beside the bar counter while watching a stripper wiggle her bare ass that was divided by a tiny G-string panties at me was supposed to be exhilarating and distracting at the same time, but it was the opposite because my mate was missing and even though I was a successful billionaire, I couldn't still find her, yet. I added yet because I was sure that I'd find her but the problem was where to start from. It felt like she had disappeared into thin air and left no trace. I couldn't stop blaming myself for being so cruel to her and chasing her with my attitude. My eyes caught the sight of young men spraying money ceaselessly at them being high on alcohol or any other concoction that they might have taken. Another problem was that it was the mating season. I should have been in my bed and having the best time of my life marking Corey and making her my Luna the next day, but here I was feeling dejected and lost. Unfortunately, it didn't
Kai's POV I felt very empty while packing some of my clothes into a duffel bag as I remembered what I had done the previous night. Sincerely, the sex was great but it didn't quench the thirst I felt inside, instead, it spiked a greater hunger that only Corey could satisfy. When I woke up the next morning, the woman was gone and she left an angry note for me saying that I shouldn't have bothered using her. She even told me to go to hell with some angry exclamations backing up her bold words. I'd have laughed because I found it funny but I knew that I was wrong and there was no way I could reach her since I didn't even know her name. I packed a few briefs and shorts but stopped when I heard a rapping sound on my door. Then a guard informed me that Beta Callan was in the sitting room, waiting for me. I gave him a monotonous reply and then trudged out of my room. "Good morning, Alpha." He greeted me with a bow. "Thank you for coming on time, I really appreciate it." He nodded
Corey's POV "Is he gone?" I asked, crawling out from the armchair where I'd hidden myself as soon as I heard his voice. "You are free to crawl out, you little rat." She teased as I placed my hand on my chest, heaving a sigh of relief. I knew that he'd miss me because of the mating bond and his son too, but I didn't expect him to come that quick. "You're such a great liar, Nats. Who wouldn't fall for such a convincing act? You should have been an actress, you know." I said and we both burst into laughter. "He looked like he was about to cry when I told him that I hadn't seen you. That man misses you and it's very obvious that he's in love with you," Natasha said while we climbed the stairs and headed for my room. My heart skipped a beat when she told me what she saw and I really wished that I could talk to him, but I also wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine and heal as well. "Don't you want to go back to him? He really wants you." She urged me but I scoffed. "H
Corey's POV "How do I look?" I asked, twirling around the mirror so that she would see how well my dress fit perfectly. I still couldn't believe that I was going on a date with Williams. He was a smooth talker who had the tendency to always get whatever he wanted. I was proof because I wasn't interested in going out with him though he was very hot, but he found a way to get me dressed by 7 pm this evening. "You look splendid, Corey. When was the last time you went out on a date with any man?" She teased, throwing her legs in the air. "I can't remember, but I feel like I'm cheating on someone that I'm supposed to be with right now," I replied wistfully, leaning on the wall beside the mirror. She gasped and straightened herself on the bed. "Don't tell me it's about Kai because he has nothing on you. You are nothing to him but a baby mama," "It's not about Kai, it's Jasper, the man who brought me here." She placed her index finger on her cheeks, her eyes hinting at confusion.
Corey's POV The waitress, having known that whatever she was trying to do was burst left hastily while I bit back a smile as Will shifted uncomfortably on his seat. "Are you alright?" I asked, faking concern. "Sure, I'm just surprised that you don't want to have anything for dinner." He said nervously. I contemplated on acting like I didn't notice what he did or being straightforward with him. Being disrespected time and again was the reason I left Kai and I promised myself that I wouldn't allow that to happen again. "How much do you like having women around you?" I asked bluntly. He shrugged while I listened attentively to his response. "Well, I don't want to reply to your question with another one but why do you ask?" I took in a deep breath and then exhaled. "You brought me here only to flirt with a waitress?" I asked calmly, fixing my gaze on him as he tried to make excuses for his disrespectful actions. He clasped his hands and swallowed. "I actually didn't mean to d
Chapter 96Corey's POV I was more stunned than the man that I was kissing but I continued, wanting to feel some sparks that would make me want to go on. Fortunately, I felt them but I could tell that it was my raging hormones at work and tonight I'd let them lead me on. He reciprocated, his tongue delving deeper into mine as his hands began to caress me slowly and lightly. His lips left my mouth and he bit my neck, causing me to moan softly. "You smell..so good," He confessed, his voice laced with passion. I bit my lips as his fingers trailed along my shoulder then my collarbone, his lips chasing after each light touch. I liked what he was doing to me yet guilt was eating me up. It felt like I was doing something very wrong yet my body craved it so much. His hands caressed my bare thighs causing me to sigh as his hands traveled up to my mid thighs till I was panting for breath and imagining the crazy things those hands would do to me. "Arrrh…. Williams.." I moaned, not kno
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
