Kai's POV.
"I'm sorry Mr. MacLeod but the test results are out and she is not pregnant." The doctor said sympathetically. I felt a sharp pain as I let out a deep breath. "Maybe you could try with..." I raised my hand sharply, cutting him off. I knew exactly what he wanted to say and didn't want to hear it.Tracey sighed deeply beside me as the doctor patted her hand gently. We have been going through this same scenario for months now, running all kinds of tests and everything but at the end of the day, it turned out negative. She had said she has been feeling nauseous lately and we had visited the doctor and agreed to run some tests with hope."It's alright... I am fine." Tracey said with a shaky voice. She turned around to look at me, holding my gaze. I could feel her pain. I knew she felt guilty about our whole situation, and that is why it was so difficult for her to look into my eyes knowing that we have been let down. For some reason, every single time we went through this, the more I got used to the disappointment.I forced a smile, not wanting to hurt her feelings. I patted her hand gently as the doctor ushered us out of his office and another couple walked in, the couple recognized me immediately, as they flashed their best smiles but I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. We were both silent as we walked out, I took the steering while she sat beside me, stoic as always."Are you alright?" She asked."I'm alright babe." I didn't want to talk about it and I didn't want to hurt her feelings either.It's been years since Tracey became my Luna yet we haven't been able to boast of any offspring, each time when the council members convened I could hear them whisper amongst themselves about how the pack would crumble if anything should happen to me.I am even more worried than they are, when tension rose between my pack and any other, I feared for my pack even more, the fact that I just might lose my life in a battle and leave my throne without a successor in line would destroy every single thing that I have struggled to build."We could try again next time, I heard the..." Tracey said, cutting off my train of thought. I rubbed my brows together, I felt a migraine coming on."It's fine babe, let's just go home," I replied. I knew she was hurting as much as I am and I should be the one comforting her, not the other way around but I was so engrossed in my grief that I just couldn't say anything to her other than simple sentences.She kept quiet for the rest of the drive back home, staring out the window till we pulled up in front of the house. She stepped out but I didn't, I sat there unable to move, overcome with grief and clutching the steering too tightly that my fingers hurt."I would be right back," I said through clenched teeth as I avoided her eyes. Looking into her eyes would hurt even more. "I need to grab a drink." She didn't reply as she stepped away from the car, just enough for me to pull out without hurting her.As I drove out, I looked in the side mirror to find her still standing there, watching me drive away. I drove to a pub downtown where I knew the people wouldn't recognize me, I didn't need anyone fawning over me, I just needed a drink and some space to get over the disappointment.I pulled into the park in front of the pub just in time to see a woman jump out of her car, she slammed the door shut angrily as if she just had a really bad day. Her beauty wasn't outstanding but it was just enough to catch my attention, I didn't know why but I felt pulled to her for some odd reason.I stepped out of my car and followed her, I watched her take a seat at the bar and called out to the bar attendant for a drink as if this wasn't her first time here. She took off her jacket while I just stood there, watching her.The waiter returned shortly after, and he slid a glass of vodka towards her which she gulped down in the twinkle of an eye. "Wow," I whispered to myself, taken aback. She must have had a very horrible day."Another!" She yelled as she slid the glass back to the waiter."Just pass us the whole bottle," I said and walked over to the counter while her eyes swept over my body. I smirked, I always had a dazzling effect on women. I walked over to the counter and slipped some dollar bills to the waiter, who grabbed it and stuffed it into his pocket, he slid the bottle towards her and another glass towards me. I pulled out a bar stool and took my seat beside her.She immediately advised me that I shouldn't be sitting this close to her. I turned around to look at her, amused, no one had ever told me not to sit too close to them before. I assumed she must have a husband or a date around for her to say something like that but she just laughed it off. Even though her laughter didn't reach her eyes, it was nice to listen to her laugh.All through the scanty conversation, we kept passing the bottle to each other, I was amused as I watched myself share a bottle with a total stranger, and to my surprise, she didn't even recognize me, nobody did in the whole pub, it felt so good to just sit and relax like a normal person. I heard her phone buzz inside her pocket, she pulled it out and her eyes darted across the screen quickly, she had a blank expression on her face for a while and then she frowned deeply. She stuffed the phone back into her pocket and grabbed the bottle, she took a swing directly from it.She looked like she needed the bottle so I just gave up on it and ordered another one. Maybe it was the alcohol because I did something I would have never done before, I asked about what had ruined her day so badly for her to be drinking this much. I turned on my stool to face her directly, genuinely interested in what she had to say. When her eyes met mine she just started narrating how her boyfriend has been cheating on her with her best friend and how she caught them on the very day she lost her job. The guy sounded like an asshole especially when she told me he wanted to kick her out of the house.I listened to her every word with rapt attention, and as I listened to her, I felt refreshed. I didn't say anything until she was done and turned around to look at me expectantly. I could see the disappointment in her eyes, the shame that she had just described her whole life in front of a total stranger.I made a smug remark about her ex and she didn't seem to have been offended by it, she smiled and I took it as my cue, this time I would prefer to blame it on the alcohol because the next idea that popped into my head was to invite her into the VIP room that I had booked while on my way here. I don't know why I did that but like I said, I would prefer to blame it on the alcohol."I had a VIP room reserved before coming here so maybe if you're up for more drinks, you could join me." I blurted out and the moment It came out, I regretted it. I couldn't believe that I had just invited a total stranger into my own space. My body tensed up as I waited for her reply. When she nodded in approval, I let out a deep sigh, I didn't realize that I had been holding my breath.I led her to my room upstairs, I didn't know what urged me on, maybe it was the alcohol but I felt totally at ease with her by my side. After all, we would only be drinking tonight. As we stepped into the room, I spotted the tequila on the table and smiled, the pub knew just how to entertain its guests.I heard her slam the door shut and turned around to usher her towards the couch when she pulled me by the collar closer to her, her lips finding mine. Her sudden movement surprised me, I didn't know what to do so I just stood there, shock written all over my face. I wanted to push her away but when her tongue slid into mine, I lost all form of resistance, I wrapped my hands around her waist and pulled her into my arms.She pulled me towards the bed. I grinned, it was hot to watch a woman take charge. She looked eager to get me in bed. She quickly slipped off her gown, I watched it slide off her shoulders, exposing her bare breasts, such firm, and perky boobs, I thought.She took my hand and placed it on her breast, she must have thought that I was shy but I wasn't, I was just surprised but I snapped out of it and squeezed both breasts gently. I looked up at her face to confirm if she was really interested in sleeping with me, and when she smiled at me, I became bolder and more confident. I grabbed both of her breasts with my hands, squeezing and pinching her nipples.She touched the front of my pants, feeling the large bulge hidden behind it. She ran her hands over it, extracting a moan from me, I pushed her gently to lie back down on the bed. I loosened my belt but didn't pull down my pants. I placed my hands on both sides of her head and brought my lips down to her nipples, licking, biting, and sucking.She moaned deeply, I could tell that her juices were already overflowing out of the need to feel me inside of her. I took my time on each nipple, and one of my hands trailed down her body to her exposed flesh, I moaned when I felt how wet she was. I pulled my lips away from her nipple and traced kisses down to her wetness. I inhaled her scent, she gasped when my tongue slid over her flesh.She gripped my hair as my hand flew back up to grab her breast, she bucked her waist to push herself closer to meet each thrust or swipe of my tongue. She threw her head back, moaning deeply and wrapping her legs around my head.I stayed down there for a while, making her moan and when she was about to come, she pulled me upwards towards her,"Not now." She whispered as I balanced my body in between her thighs. Her hands went into my pants as she pulled out my dick, she stroked it for a while before positioning it. I held her gaze as I eased myself into her, watching her lips part with ecstasy as moans slipped through her lips.I kept stroking deeper inside of her for a while, I threw my head back as her fingers dug into my arms and her orgasm rocked her entire body, feeling her orgasm wash over her pushed me over the edge and I came too. I collapsed beside her on the bed afterward, the alcohol made me fall sound asleep after that.The sunlight that filtered into the room woke me up the next morning. My head ached as my eyes fluttered open, and it became worse when the memories from last night returned. I looked beside me but she wasn't there, I staggered out of bed and checked everywhere in the room but she was gone. I felt relieved that she didn't make a big deal out of a mistake.Corey's POV.It's been weeks since the incident with the stranger at the pub. I cashed out all my savings and paid for a crappy apartment that one of my friends had managed to help me find. I spent the rest of my days searching for a job, I needed to get back on my feet. True to his words, Ryan called off the wedding and after I snuck out of the stranger's bed, I returned to find my things on the front porch and he had changed the locks. I moved out quietly, I didn't want to embarrass myself further. So for the past few days, I had been carrying about the scar from that day, putting on a smile as if nothing had happened but deep down I was burning with rage and deep pain from the scar of my boyfriend and best friend about to get wedded.I felt sad that the future I had imagined for myself had been shattered in an instant. I didn't know what the future held for me anymore, but I knew that I would never let anyone take advantage of me again. So I stuck to myself, avoiding men and avoid
Kai's POVDays passed by as everything went on normally. I made sure that Tracey never felt the bitter pang of her barrenness even though she allowed it to overwhelm her sometimes; just as it was happening now. I looked over my shoulder, taking my eyes off the book I was reading to watch her attractive face. It was one thing I could never get tired of doing; watching her face. "What's the matter, Tracey? You've been quiet since morning." I asked, concern etching all over my face. "The usual. I feel so bad for not being able to give you an heir. I don't know what I and the pack will do if anything happens to you. With all our enemies threatening war, it would be heartless of me to deprive you of a successor." She quivered as I jerked up to my feet. I knew my Luna, if she said any more she would begin to bawl and I wasn't sure my heart could take it. "Don't talk like that, Honey. I know it's taking time and we badly need an heir, but I love you and I'm sure the moon goddess would g
Corey's POVYou are pregnant. The doctor's words kept resounding in my ears. How could I have been so dumb? I thought. I kept blaming myself as I knew that there was only one person responsible for the pregnancy. There was no way I could locate him because I hadn't seen him since that day and it felt like he disappeared into thin air. I strolled towards the counter in search of a strong drink that could knock me out. I knew that it was wrong to drink while carrying a child, but I wasn't even sure I wanted the child yet. I neither had a job nor a man, so it would be a herculean task to raise whatever was growing in my belly. My eyes caught the sight of a Stroh 160 rum in the wine cellar. I snatched it immediately and poured it into the glass cup on the counter. "Maybe I should kill myself." I drawled, taking a huge swig from the cup. Natasha had escorted me home and she promised to be back the next morning. Though she was doing her best to show her support and I wanted someone ar
CoreyI shook my head, "I'm sorry to disappoint you Natasha, but I won't look for him. I'll just train this child by myself." "You're impossible, Corey," Natasha replied exasperatedly, dropping her hand towel on the center table. Obviously, she wanted to talk sense into me, but I doubted anyone could do that. "Do you know that if you don't reach out to him now you'll be rubbing both father and child their privilege?" She asked and I stared at her. "What do you mean by that? What would I be robbing them of?" "The opportunity for the father to know that he has a son or daughter and for the child to know that he has a father. They won't forgive you if they find out what you did. Besides, you don't have any solid reason for that." She paused and propped her arm against her chin. "Gosh! You're so impossible." I palmed my forehead as I realized that there was truth in what she said. The last thing I wanted was for my future child to hate me. Initially, I didn't think I wanted to keep th
Kai's POV "The banquet will go well though I miss you very much." I cooed into the phone while my Luna giggled. She was away from me while we hosted a banquet and I had to admit that it was very tasking. I was competent and capable of hosting a large banquet with my pack members and other associates as my guests, but there were some things I didn't like to do alone; this was a part of it. I'll be back soon. Whatever I'm here for will benefit the both of us, so just do your best. I love you. My lips stretched into a smile as I declared my undying love for her over the phone and ended the call. Standing before my wall mirror, I straightened the collar of my black tuxedo, remembering how Tracey would have been so eager to do it. Everything was in place, I observed. So I snatched my car keys and headed for the event center. No doubt, the party will be carried by the media as usual. If only they knew that half of the guests were not humans, we would have been banished or placed under
Corey's POV "Girl, you look good.." Natasha said for the umpteenth time as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I nodded my head in agreement as I never thought that I could look so beautiful. Natasha helped with my makeup and dress. Till this moment, I couldn't remember the last time I was glammed up. Parties weren't my thing apart from when I felt like having fun at the club with my friend and ex. My outing had a mission and I hoped that it would be successful. Even If it didn't, I had a certificate that could get me a job. All I needed was time to search for one. "Thank you, Natasha. You really went all the way to make me look beautiful. Ryan would give anything to have me looking so attractive tonight if he sees me." I chirped, playing with my hair as I imagined how he would react to my dress. Natasha had more slutty dresses than I did. I preferred looking modest in my appearance so revealing outfits didn't appeal to me, but it didn't stop me from putting on the dress she
Corey's POV Natasha's incessant questions were beginning to annoy me. "Can we just leave? I'll explain everything when I get home." I demanded and she kept mute, walking behind me quietly. For someone who was on heels, I walked very fast, eager to leave the premises and stay away from the stranger. Why couldn't he accept what I'd told him? There was no need for me to wait for him after he had berated me. "Slow down, Corey. Don't forget that you are pregnant and the child in your womb doesn't need to be stressed." Natasha chided me and I scoffed, setting myself at ease in the backseat. I couldn't drive and there was no way Natasha would allow me to or I'd end up killing the both of us. "I'm trying to be calm, Nats." I shortened her name, liking how short and precise her name rolled out from my lips. "Nats? I like it though." She chuckled, while I eyed her from the corner of my eye. "But what happened with him? You were so eager to meet with him before you left the house, why has t
Kai's POV As I left her house, I felt a deep feeling of satisfaction with how I dealt with the issue. My ability to think quickly was one of the reasons my pack respected me and honoured me. Being an Alpha was tasking and I wouldn't lead them successfully if I didn't watch my father deal with several issues. Those learning periods were the times I detested as I didn't have enough time to play around and have fun with my playmates. Everything paid off, and I owed whatever I achieved to my father majorly. My phone rang and I smiled when I realised who the caller was. Tracey and I hadn't spoken since the night before. Till now, I wasn't able to tell her about the woman who claimed to be pregnant for me. Suspense claimed a greater part of my mind as I wondered who the child would belong to. I wanted the child to be mine even though it would hurt Tracey if she eventually found out, but the desire to have a successor had overridden my sense of judgement. I stared at my phone screen, s
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
