Chapter 3
Alpha Kai My phone rings as I walk down the verandah, and I roll my eyes at the caller. It's Max, and I wonder why he's calling me. "What is it, Max?" I ask coldly as soon as I answer the call. "We have something important to discuss. Let's meet," His voice sounds through the phone. "I'm not in the villa now, Max. We'll talk later," I say to him and quickly end the call. I make my way to my kids'room. It's weekend today, so I need to spend some time with them in my study. I take my time to teach them on weekends and do revision for them base on what they were taught in school. That's one of the things that make me the best father to them. Stepping into their room minutes later, I stop on my track and my heart freezes in my chest at the sight that welcomes me. Ariel is standing half-naked with just a white towel wrapping around her chest, revealing her sexy body. She had no idea I walked inside the room since she's busy searching for something in the closet. Wondering why she's like this in my kids' room? Well, she stays in their room, since it's what they want. I don't know how they suddenly grew so attached to her, but I'm glad that they finally find someone they can peacefully be around. I feel my wolf growl inside me as he struggles hard to stare at the beautiful creature through my eyes. "Hmm... Hmm..." I finally clear my throat, announcing my presence, and she turns swiftly to face me, and getting a glimpse of her eyes, my heart misses a beat giving this tingling sensation I haven't had in a long time. This is getting odd, and I don't like that I'm feeling this way. "Al...alpha..." She stutters, holding her towel tightly to her chest like she's preventing it from falling off. She looks extremely nervous, and for some unknown reason, I feel sad that I'm making her feel this way. "For fuck's sake, when the hell do you start caring about someone this much?" My subconscious mind screams at me, and I gulp down nothing, turning my face away. I think I'm losing my mind right now, or maybe I've lost it totally, because what the hell is going on with me? "Where are my kids?" Pushing all my thoughts to the back of my mind, I ask her. "Uhm... They...they went out with lady Leila," She stutters nervously and bites her lip in a way that looks seductive, and I feel my wolf struggles to take control of me. This is getting out of hand. "See me in my study," I spill those words out before I can stop myself. What will I be discussing with her in my chamber later? Not that I have anything to say to her, anyway. "Yes, alpha," She replies to me. Staring at her for another five seconds, I finally turn and stride out of the room, heading to my study to get myself distracted from these horrible thoughts of mine. If you must know, I have never had anything intimate to do with a maid, because how the hell would I stoop so low to having sex with a maid when other women are ready to give it to me whenever I want it? But I don't know what Ariel is doing to me now, that I can't seem to get him off my head. Stepping into my study, I stop on my track when I find Max sitting there with his legs crossed on the desk as he reclines on the chair, while having all his attention on the book in his hand. "I have been waiting for you all day, and you finally showed up now," He says as soon as he feels my presence, dropping the book on the desk and turning to face me with a smirk dancing at the corner of his lips. What is he up to now? "I don't want to see you now, Max. You may leave," I say to him coldly, walking over to sit on my chair. Not that my coldness would affect him, anyway. Unlike every other people that are scared of me, and would shiver when I talk to them, Max is a stubborn man that finds it funny instead. It's annoying, but cute anyway. He's my best friend, after all. "What if I want to see you, sweetheart?" He winks at me, and I roll my eyes. "If you want to start practicing how to be gay, I think you are in the wrong place. You should check somewhere else because I don't know why you would be calling me sweetheart," I glare at him, and he chuckles softly. "If I'm to marry a man, I would always choose you, my love," He teases me, and I roll my eyes. "Go fuck yourself, Max..." "I prefer to get the pleasure from fucking you instead. You look super hot and sexy, so, why not?" He teases me, and I run my fingers through my hair. "When you're done, you'll let me know which way you would prefer to die. Whether you want me to stab you, or throw you into the ocean," I smirk at him. "Whatever! I came here for an important discussion, anyway... Alpha Dante... He is not ready to sign the contract until he sees you in person," He releases the bombshell to me, and I slowly clench my fist as I feel my heartbeat stop for seconds. My blood boils in rage and I tighten my fist more while glaring hard into space. How dare that bastard dare me. Does he want to die? "I think he's up to something," Max further says, and I glance at him. Even if he didn't tell me, I know that bastard is up to something. Dante is the alpha of the Blood Moon pack and the CEO of the Blood Moon empire. I'm currently working on a project which will need his support for it to be successful, and as my assistant, I sent Max to talk to him, and he dares ask to see me in person. What does he want? I feel my wolf growl within me in rage, and I bet my eyes are already bright yellow. My wolf and I are only used to giving orders, nobody has ever dared to order us, how dare that bastard? "Greetings, alpha," Ariel's voice suddenly sounds from outside, and I gulp down nothing. "Come in," The door opens after I usher her in, and she walks in elegantly, graced in a long gown that's more like a rag, but why the fuck do I still find it sexy? The rage I was feeling moments ago slowly fades away, replaced with excitement, and my wolf slowly crawls back in. "Wow!" I watch as Max tilts his head to look at her with his mouth agape, probably shocked at her beauty. "What's your name, young lady?" I watch as Max suddenly stands up to his feet and turns to face her with a wide smile on his face. "Ariel," She replies to him, while staring down at her feet, and fondling with her fingers. She must be feeling uncomfortable. "Wow! What a beautiful name for a gorgeous lady. By the way, I'm beta Maximus Danielle, but you can call me Max," Anger surges through me as I watch Max introduce himself to her. For some reason unknown to me, I just feel like punching him hard in the face or maybe strangling him to death. "Thank you, beta," Her voice sounds flirty and seductive to me, even if she just spoke normally just like the way she normally speaks. Am I getting jealous? Fuck! That can't be. "You must be Ruby and Nathan's maid, right?" Max asks as he places his hand on her shoulder, and that is all it takes to make me lose it. He just pushed me beyond the limit. "Get your hands off her, now!" I slam my hands on the desk and spring up to my feet before I can stop myself. They both flinch...Chapter 4Alpha Kai The way Max blinks as he stares at me tells me that I'm in deep shit right now. He won't stop frustrating me until I talk to him about why I acted this way, and I'm not ready for that. "Uhm... I mean, you shouldn't be touching a woman like that. She... She's a woman... You should respect her," I try not to stutter, but I still end up doing it anyway. "Oh..." Max utters as he withdraws his hand from her shoulder, and I heave a silent sigh of relief. The way he looks at me doesn't look like he believed the excuse I just gave him. "Uhm... Alpha, you asked to see you," She breaks the awkward silence that assumed the air for quite some seconds now, and I gulp down nothing nervously. What should I tell her? I think I'm beginning to act foolish right now. "Yes, I did..." I pause and think of what to say to her for a few seconds. "I think it's time to change Ruby's wardrobe," I finally say, even though I know this is senseless. I mean, we just did t
Chapter 5 Alpha Kai I glance at Ariel who is sitting in the backseat of the car with my kids as they both talk sweetly. I can't deny the fact that I love the bond between them now, and I also feel happy going out with them. "Daddy, why do you suddenly want to go shopping with us?" Rubby suddenly asks the question I have been expecting, and I glance at her through the rear glass only to find her staring at me. "Is it something bad?" I ask her, and she quickly shakes her head. "No, dad, it's not. I'm happy you're coming with us," She smiles at me cutely, and I nod my head. "Daddy, but lady Leila took us shopping last week," Nathan says after a few minutes of silence, causing me to glance at him again, releasing a deep sigh. Gosh is this how chatty these kids are? "Do you not want to shop?" I ask him, and he quickly shakes his head. "No, daddy. I saw a bicycle at the mall the last time we went there, and I want one," He says in his little voice. "I wi
Chapter 6 Maximus Danielle "Why don't you talk to Philip about the contract?" I ask him, and with the look on his face, I need no one to tell me that he doesn't like the sound of that. Philip is a sixty-five years old awarded robotic engineer in the USA and the CEO of T&T Electronic company. Kai and I are going to be working on a project later, called the E-Detector project. E-Detector is a robot that detects nothing, but emotions, and also treat people who are ill. We want to build a big hospital in town, where only robots will be there to attend to both humans' and other creatures' needs. This is a strategy to add more fame and power to our pack and to make this happen, we would need the help of Philip. "I told you that I'm not interested in working with Philip. Look for someone else," He replies to me bluntly, picking up the book on the desk, and opening to a page. "Come on, Kai... We both know that there's no one else that can do this better than Philip, and tha
Chapter 7 Ariel POV I drag Amelie along the hallway, and once we walk into my room, I slam her lightly against the wall, glaring hard at her. "What the hell was that, Amelie? What were you doing with the beta?" I ask her, trying not to sound harsh on her, but why the hell would she do something like that? "Come on, Ariel... Stop making a mountain out of nothing, ok? That was just a harmless visit," She rolls her eyes as she walks past me and throws herself on my bed, while I stare at her unbelievably. "Wow! This bed is so comfortable... I think I should move in here with you soon because you can't be enjoying this luxury alone," She whines as she tosses on the bed while giggling. "I asked a question, Amelie. What was that?" I ask her again, and she sighs briefly as she sits up on the bed. "It was nothing, Ariel. I missed my way and found myself there," She shrugs sarcastically like what she did isn't a big deal. "You and I know that you didn't miss your
Chapter 8 Alpha Kai If it were to be someone else that did what Max did, he or she would've been six feet under the ground now, chilling in the underworld, but sadly, I can't bring myself to harm my best friend. "Ah!" I growl as I grab the flower vase from the desk and crash it against the wall, breaking it into pieces. I can feel my wolf struggling to take over me and destroy things, no one dare disrespects us and go scot-free, but I can't possibly let my wolf harm Max, right? "Calm down, Raul... Calm down," I whisper as I lean forward and grab the edge of the desk, clenching my fingers around it tightly as I shut my eyes, trying to control Raul. Things won't remain the same if he happens to take control of me. I may end up doing what I'm not supposed to have done. Suddenly, I feel the strong scent dominating me, and I snap my head up. I look around the room, searching for her, but it is obvious that she's not in there. Of course, I recognize the scent to belong t
Chapter 9 "Forgive me, alpha... I will wait outside," She quickly apologizes, turning to leave. "No, wait!" I say to her, and she halts abruptly, her body trembling in fear. Fuck! I hate that she's scared of me. Yes, I know this is crazy, considering how much I enjoy it when people are scared of me, how unbothered I am about people, but she? I feel so fucking different toward her. Turning to face Rosa, who has a shocked expression on her face, I signal her to leave. "But..." "Don't make me repeat myself, Rosa. Leave," I say to her, sitting on the chair. She must be thinking that I'm going crazy now. The alpha Kai everybody knows would never take something like this lightly. I would never have anyone barge into me like that, let alone see me doing some shit with a woman, that person would not live to tell the story, or maybe have his or her eyes plucked out of their sockets for the offense. "What are you still waiting for?" I snap at Rosa, and she quickly bows be
Chapter 10 Alpha Kai I walk briskly toward her room with Ruby, and I push the door open once I arrive at the doorstep. I stop on my track when I walk into the room and find her sitting on the bed, hugging her knees to herself while having her face buried between them, and crying profusely like she'd just lost someone. Strangely, I feel this unexplainable pain in my heart, seeing her like that hurts me for a reason I'm clueless about, and I bite my bottom lip. What could be wrong with her? It can't possibly be the bracelet, right? I squat down in front of Ruby and ruffle her hair. "Baby, why don't you go to sleep? Daddy will handle this, I promise," I speak to her softly, and she stares at me blankly. She's already close to tears, and I can only wonder what she has done to my kids that made them like her this much. "Daddy, you will make her stop crying, right?" Ruby asks, and I nod my head even though I am not sure yet. "Yes honey, I will do that. Just go to
Chapter 11 Alpha KaiI toss on the bed for the umpteenth time and sigh briefly. Ruby is already fast asleep beside me on the bed, and here I am trying to get some sleep for the past two hours but can't. Finally sitting up on the bed, I find myself standing up to my feet. I have no idea what is suddenly pushing me out, but the only thing on my mind is to go out and find her bracelet. You can say that I'm losing my mind, which I will agree to, but that won't stop me from finding it for her. I stride out of my room and head straight to the yard, where the trashcan is always kept. The villa is silent with nobody around since everyone must've been asleep by now. Staring at the tall trashcan in front of me, I run my fingers through my hair and take a deep breath, giving a second thought to the decision I've made. This is unlike me, Alpha Kai would never do something like this, but it seems like I'm helpless around this girl, it now seems like I'm so concerned about this girl tha
Chapter 155 Epilogue After Alpha Kai realized that it was all a nightmare, he couldn't help the excitement that filled his heart, knowing that he didn't lose any of his kids and his best friend. Three months later, Alpha Kai finally mated Ariel as his forever, and they hosted a mating ceremony where other werewolves of different Packs came to celebrate with them. Four months later... Ariel was in the room and watching a movie when she suddenly felt a sting in her lower abdomen, and she winced painfully as she squeezed her face. "What is wrong with me?" She mumbled as she sat back on the couch and sighed briefly before she continued to watch her movie. As minutes went by, she felt the pain growing slightly severe until she couldn't hold it anymore and screamed when she felt something break inside her and her eyes widened when she saw the trail of fluid that trailed down her legs. As she managed to stand up to her feet, holding her big round tummy, she ma
Chapter 154 At the hospital "I'm sorry, Miss. But we couldn't save him," Amelie's heart sinks into her stomach as the doctor breaks the news to her, and she staggers back. Her heartbeat stops for the next few seconds and her mouth hangs open in shock. She tries to comprehend what the doctor just said to her, but it doesn't seem to sink well into her head, so it's quite confusing and hard to understand. "What...what did you say?" She finally asks the doctor once she is able to gather her strength together. "You should be calm," The doctor pats her shoulder before he pulls the blue satin cloth to cover his face. Her world seems to be crumbling down before her very eyes. Her body trembles as she slowly takes her hand to her stomach. "No... This is not true... This can't be true. Max is not dead," She slowly shakes her head while muttering those words to herself because this whole thing doesn't make any sense to her. How could the doctor even tell her that her mat
Chapter 153 Kai drags his feet toward the prison where Rosa was now kept. The last twenty-four hours have been filled with him running around and trying to get the solution he had promised Ariel, but all efforts have proven abortive and he was on the verge of losing his mind. Who would've ever thought that an Alpha would become like this? Who would ever think that Kai would one day be caught in this mess without any way out for him? Once he stops in front of the prison, his blood boils in rage as he spots her on her knees. How could she be this heartless to have stolen his happiness? He asks himself before he signals the guard to open the gate for him, which was opened immediately. He takes another deep breath before he finally walks in, and when she notices his presence, she slowly raises her gaze to look at him. She has a smirk dancing on her lips, a satisfactory look on which only means that she is enjoying every bit of what she is doing to him. "Why are you here? To pl
Chapter 152 As Ariel waits in front of the prison gate and awaits Rosa, she can't help the nervousness that keeps trying to eat her up. After she heard about what happened, she has come to see her, not to confront her, but to plead with her to please give out the antidote so Nathan could live. The little boy has been going through pain even though he has been in coma for days now, and he is getting weaker each day that passes by. It hurts to see the boy she loves so much being in pain, and it hurts to see the Alpha wallowing in pain, but then, they can't use force on Rosa if they don't want the boy to die. The sound of the chains rattling inside the prison alerts her that she has been taken out of the dungeon. She takes a deep breath before she walks into the prison after the guard opens the door for her. Rosa is on her knees and tied down with an ordinary chain. "Why are you here? To yell at me and tell me how disgusting I am? Are you here to command me to hand over the
Chapter 152 Alpha Kai POV Tears brim in my eyes as I drive home crazily. Nathan and Ariel are in the backseat. He is still unconscious. 'I'm sorry, but there is nothing we can do about this. You have to take him out of the hospital' As the doctor's words replay in my head, I sniff back the tears that threaten to leave my eyes. Now is not the time to cry. I really need to get the antidote now and save my boy. I have already lost his sister, and I can't lose him too. As I drive on the roadway, I suddenly march on the brake, bringing the car to an abrupt halt. I almost ran into a car, but it's a good thing that I was fast enough to stop the car before the horrible thing happened. "Careful," Ariel mutters, and I nod my head. Many thoughts run through my mind and I keep asking myself who would've done this to my son. I was thinking that the person that did it was Rhea, but I guess I wasn't in the right state of mind. I shouldn't have left them alone. I should've s
Chapter 151 Three days laterThe last few days have been rough for Kai and every other person in the Pack. Having his best friend in coma, his son hospitalized with the doctors doing everything they could so they save the little boy, and trying to be fine even though nothing seemed to be working in his favor. Ruby has been cremated already. "You haven't had anything since three days now. Can you eat something, please?" Ariel asks him sadly. He was standing on the balcony of the hospital and staring up at the sky while in tears. He has always thought he was strong, but with everything that has happened to him in the space of five days, it now occurred to him that he is nothing strong. "I'm not hungry," He replied to her flatly, and she sighs briefly. "What should I do? Is Nathan going to die too? Is Max going to leave me too as Ruby did?" He asks her as he stares into space, more tears streaming down his cheeks. "Shhhh! Everything is going to be fine. I promise you,
Chapter 150 Alpha Kai POV I'm still having a bad feeling about this even though Amelie told me yesterday that they are fine. I still have this feeling that something is not right, and I can't help but get nervous. Losing my baby is the last thing I want. I will lose my mind if such a thing happens. "Amelie said that they are fine. You don't have to be worried," Ariel assures me as the driver drives us to the airport. We woke up early this morning and got dressed before we left the hotel. "Hmm," I nod my head, but that still didn't stop me from being worried or nervous, rather. If only I can appear in Europe right now, I would be so glad. "You'll be fine," She utters as she clasps her fingers with mine, and I slowly nod my head. Sadly, we couldn't make our vacation a memorable one, but I'm going to make it up to her some other time. The only thing on my mind right now is my kids. We finally arrive at the airport, and the flight takes off about thirty minutes la
Chapter 149 Amelie POV I pace restlessly along the hallway. Leila and Rosa are also here with me. Max and Ruby had just been rolled into the ER, and I'm so scared. Max was brutally injured, and Ruby... I don't even want to think about what will happen to him, because it's scary to imagine it. I just pray they survive this. "Don't you think you should call the Alpha or Ariel?" Madam Leila asks me, and I stop pacing. I haven't thought about that because I'm not in my right state of mind. I don't know if I will be able to hold on to my phone later. I don't know if I will be able to talk, because my body is trembling. "You...you should call him," I reply to her, and she finally walks away. "They are going to be fine. You should sit, please. It's not good for the baby," I hear Rosa's voice, and I raise my gaze to find her standing beside me. If I can gather the memories together, Rosa and Max haven't been on good terms, she never liked the kids, so I wonder why she save
Chapter 148 Rhea POV I think now is the time for me to carry out the plan I have. I know Kai won't spare me after this, but I don't mind. If I'm going to die, then it would have to be with someone precious to him. I have to hurt him in a way that will break him for as long as he is alive. Since I still have my wolf power within me, I summon her and in no time, I was able to break from the chain, since it isn't a silver chain that could hurt me. Although I don't have power as a witch anymore, I trained and was very good at combat. I was able to take down the guard in front of the prison. I manage to find my way to the kids' room, and there they are. They are both sleeping peacefully with their nanny, I think Leila is her name. They are all sleeping peacefully, and I scoff when I see them. Now that I recall everything that little witch said to me, makes my heart is clouded with hatred for her. She never considered me as her mother, she never looked at me, she always cursed m
