Corey's POV

I sat down on the couch to ponder on what Kai had said. His proposal was based on logic and he had more to lose than me. If he took me in and the child turned out to be for my ex, he'd have spent a lot of money taking care of the both of us.

My concern was what would happen if the child wasn't his. If I was to live under his care, it meant joblessness and dependency on him. I hated to be in both states but there was no feasible option yet.

I needed to take a walk and have a breath of fresh air, then I remembered that I still had some cleaning to do.

I couldn't let anyone find out how unkempt my house was again so I began to clean. It was stressful cleaning the rugs and furniture but determination was one thing that was never missing in my life.

After the house became sparkling, I smiled in fulfilment. My stomach grumbled, reminding me that I hadn't eaten any solid food. There was a little human growing in me that I had to feed so I quickly had my bath and rushed out o

    Kai's POV My phone dinged for the umpteenth time and I quickly checked the notification for Corey's message or call but hissed in disappointment when I realised that it was just some unimportant message. It had been the case since Corey decided to be unresponsive about my proposal. Other ladies would have jumped at the opportunity of having me take care of them till they gave birth to the child, but she acted like she didn't give two cents about my money. Her action had convinced me that she wasn't really interested in my money. I stared at the documents on my table as I kept remembering when she told me about her pregnancy. My attention was divided as I just wanted to get a call from her. Each day, the possibility that she could be with my child became more real and that got me unsettled. "Arrggh!!" I growled and jerked up my chair. There was only one way I could end the suspense she kept me in and that was by visiting her again. If that's what she wanted then I had to see her.

    Corey's POV Natasha and I walked out of my apartment, ready to go to the supermarket. I wore a pair of blue jeans that fit tightly to my skin and a tank top with a pair of flats. I wasn't showing, yet I felt that people could know that I was pregnant if I revealed my belly too much. While thinking of the pregnancy, I remembered Kai's proposal. Since he left, I didn't make an effort to reach out to him because I was confused and uncertain. Also, the idea of being in comfort and having it taken away from me if the baby wasn't mine repulsed me. I tucked some of the stubborn strands of my hair that strayed behind my ear and turned to see some of the men at the apartment adjacent to mine. They looked big but rough and I wondered how they were allowed to disturb the territory with their noise.I had almost looked away when I noticed Kai, standing in their midst."Speaking of the devil," I muttered under my breath and glanced at Natasha who was focused on starting the car. He wasn't

    Kai's POV I've never had issues with Tracey picking up my call, but today I did. How on earth was I going to tell her that she shouldn't have picked up that call? She was already livid as it seemed, so I had to be careful so that I wouldn't step on hot coals. "Who called, Tracey?" I asked softly, watching her reaction as she clasped her fingers together and stomped her feet on the floor continuously. She regarded me with a glare and looked away while I approached her slowly. Her frown made me regret leaving my device in the living room when I went to freshen up in the bathroom. "Answer me, Tracey. Who called and why are you so riled up?" I reiterated and then she stood up, showing me the caller while my fingers balled into fists. "Now you know, right? So tell me, how long has this been going on? A year, some months? Tell me!" She demanded. At that point, I contemplated telling her the truth. Though she looked livid and ready to make the house fall, I couldn't just think of anyth

    Kai's POV My hands on the wheel trembled slightly as I remembered what would have happened in the bar. I wondered what was happening to me and I shook my head as if the single act could delete all the imaginations whirling in my mind. I had arrived home so I headed for the wine cellar in the living room, tossing my jacket on the armchair. My mind was in a state of chaos and my body was restless so I poured some vodka into a shot glass and took it in one gulp. "You're back already?" Tracey waltzed and stood beside me with a puzzled look. Drinking immediately after I came back from work was out of character and with the questioning look on her face, I knew that she wanted a reply from me. "Yes, I am. How did your day go?" I asked, snuggling her closer to myself."It went well, but why are you drinking? This is unlike you." She stated. I raked my hands through my hair as I cocked my head to the side and regarded her slowly. If only she knew the fix I was in, she'd join me for some

    Corey's POV I froze when I heard someone call him. It sounded weird and I wondered why someone would address him as an Alpha. My eyes darted to Kai whose face was as stoic as ever. I couldn't tell what he was thinking as his expression remained unreadable, though his eyes showed glints of surprise. "What are you doing here, Callan?" He addressed the man who looked huge and strikingly handsome with a gruff voice. "I normally come here to have my morning coffee and I don't think you frequent here often." He replied. "No… I don't. Can we talk later? I have some matters to attend to. Let's go, Corey." He said to me while I bowed in greeting to his friend and walked behind Kai. Since I came with my car, there was no need for him to take me home but I still wanted to know why he addressed him as an Alpha as I couldn't shake off the feeling that it was a narcissistic behaviour of his."Thank you for treating me to a nice cup of coffee. I enjoyed it," I began. "It's my pleasure, Corey

    Corey's POV Natasha's question threw me off balance. Till now I never realised that I acted like someone who had feelings for him. "Like who?" "Don't act dumb, Corey. I can see how you glow whenever you talk about him, and most times you want to be with him. Those things you do only mean one thing, you are harboring feelings for him." Natasha said as I stared at her blankly. My heart thudded faster as I processed everything she said. I thought of the previous meetings with him, especially when we almost kissed at the bar. "Am I right?" She propped her chin against her arm. "I don't know. He's a good man and I'm very sure that he is the father of my son. I think it's nice that we bond well." I shrugged, schooling my face into a mask of calm. "Why do I think that you are lying? I haven't forgotten what you told me about your meeting with him at the bar. Love is in the air.." She made a sniffing sound and giggled while I threw the cushion I'd be resting in at her. She dodged it an

    Kai's POV Escaping Callan's mistake at the café and Corey's questions was a miracle. How could he be that absent-minded to forget that people weren't supposed to know our identity or the fact that we ever existed?I growled as I dialled his number so that we could meet in my office. Allowing him to make that same mistake again was the last thing I would do. "Callan, I'd like you to be in my office in the next ten minutes," I demanded and dropped the phone, not minding if he was busy with other errands that I had sent him for. While I awaited his arrival in my office, my mind drifted to the hasty decision I'd made concerning Corey's accommodation. It was wrong of me to bring her home without Tracy's knowledge but I had no choice. It was already decided and since I wasn't ready to tell her about it, we both had to be careful. I turned on my laptop and checked through the list of buildings that I could buy. Some days ago, I had made plans with my development team to renovate some ab

    Kai's POVI yawned tiredly, stretching my arms as everything looked boring. Even taking another glance at my computer caused pain in my sore eyes. Though I was exhausted, my mind remained restless with several thoughts swirling in my head, especially how I was going to keep Corey hidden in the mansion without Tracey getting to find out. I averted my attention from the files on the table and stared at the clock on the wall. It was 4 pm already and I began to wonder how I managed to work for that long. The lead I've been trying to get proved hard to get and I'd never faced such difficulty since when I became an Alpha. My phone vibrated on the desk which caused a loud hiss to escape my lips. I didn't want to have a conversation with anyone, yet my position as an Alpha forced me to pick it up. I checked the caller and discovered that it was Corey. "Hi, Corey. Is anything the matter?" I asked with a clipped voice. She breathed sharply, but I could sense her worry and panic. "We have 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
