Chapter 22 Ariel POV I toss on the bed and giggle for the second time as the thought of starting work as the Alpha's assistant keeps ringing in my head. Although I don't know why he suddenly decided to make me his assistant, but I'm happy about it, considering the amount of money I can make from it. Maybe when I make so much money, I can now think of finding my family. Since he said that I will be starting the work tomorrow, I decide to go to bed early so I can wake up early enough to take get the kids and myself ready tomorrow. My eyes feel heavy, and I give in to sleep. Soon, I doze off. I have no idea how long I'd been asleep, but the sound of my blaring alarm pulls me out of my deep sleep, and I toss on the bed tiredly and force my eyes open. This is going to be hard for me, but thinking about the pay I will get at the end of each month, then it's worth it. Dragging myself from the bed, I walk sluggishly into the bathroom to get myself ready first, since th
Chapter 23 Alpha Kai Having Ariel around me is the best feeling ever, and I feel over the moon right now. It's crazy, right? Well, I think I've really gone crazy. We finally arrive at the company after a few minutes of driving, and we proceed to the elevator once we walk into the lobby. As we walk inside my office a few minutes later, I throw myself tiredly on the chair while she's standing in front of me. "Sit," I say to her after staring at her for a few seconds, and she nods her head as she pulls out the chair and sits on it. "Welcome to Blue Crest empire, the Pack's company," I say to her, and she nods her head after she looks around my office like she's looking for something, but I know that she's just admiring the beauty of this place, because why not? I made sure that I decorate it to my taste, and nobody has ever come here without looking around in awe, so she's not an exception. "Thank you, Alpha," She nods her head, and I recline on the cha
Chapter 24 Ariel POV It was weird being around Alpha Kai all day, but it was also fun working here. I literally did nothing today, but just slept off after I had lunch. The food looked expensive and tasted delicious. It was literally my first time eating something that good, that is if I haven't eaten it in the past. Gosh! It was so nice. The door suddenly bursts open, and Ruby rushes in excitedly, and the first thing she does is rush to hug me, while Nathan hurries over to hug his dad. "I'm still your dad, Ruby," He whines after he picks Nathan up and sits him on his lap. "Yes, I know that. I didn't miss you as much as I missed Ariel, so just leave me be," She rolls her eyes at him before she sits on my thighs, hugging me tightly to herself as she rests her head on my chest. "I missed you so much, Ariel. I couldn't wait to see you. I was thinking of you all day in school... I was worried daddy will bully you. Did he bully you? Did he scold you?" She sudde
Chapter 25 Ariel POV It has been a week since I started working as Alpha Kai's assistant, and I haven't really done anything worth working there. I literally go there on daily basis to sleep, and the weird thing about him is that he never complained, instead, he asks me to sleep all I want. I mean, he didn't hire me to come to sleep in his office, did he? Since it's Saturday today, I have been at home all day, watching a cartoon with the kids. I hate watching cartoons and like adult movies instead, but I couldn't have watched it since I'm with the kids, right? It's finally evening, and I put them to sleep before I head to the bathroom to shower and get some sleep. Soaking myself under the bathtub filled with warm soapy water, I caress my body slowly and gently. I stop as the thought of Alpha Kai flashes through my mind, and my heart skips a beat. I don't know why my heart always skips at the thought of him, but I don't think it's something serious. He has been
Chapter 26 Alpha Kai Staring at Ruby's sleep, I sigh deeply for the umpteenth time before I sit up on the bed. I have no idea what came over me since morning, but I've not been myself. I've been thinking about Rhea all day, and I think I'm going to lose my mind soon. It's crazy how she's still stuck in my head even after so many years. 'I'm sorry, Kai, but I can't do this anymore. I don't want to keep lying to you and myself... I don't love you... I never did' although it has been so many years, those words still break me each time I think of it. They never left my head even after so many years, and it hurts a lot. Why did she have to make me fall so deeply in love with her if she never loved me? Why did she have to deceive me and made me believe she loved me? It hurts, but what hurts even more is that I can't get her off my head. Pushing all the thoughts to the back of my mind, I lay beside Ruby on the bed, and cuddle her to myself. Maybe having her by my side will ma
Chapter 27 Ariel POV It's pretty weird going around with the Alpha, as I kept getting glances from people, and it's driving me nuts already. The way they looked at me clearly tells that they think I'm having some sort of relationship with him. I mean that's never going to happen. He may be nice to me, but I'm sure that I'm not his kind of woman. Although I've been having weird feelings about him, but I try to control them because I know nothing can ever happen between us, and that should not even be my problem for now, since I still need to find my family. Silence reigns in the car as he drives us back home after we spent the whole day touring the village after we went to see my mom. As I glance at him, I feel my heart strangely racing fast like I'd just seen a ghost. I don't know why I have been so nervous being around him, but maybe it's because of his aura that keeps consuming me. "Are you ok? You don't look like you are," He breaks the awkward silence after he
Chapter 28 Alpha Kai I pace restlessly in my room as the healer attends to the unconscious Ariel that's just laying on the bed, looking all pale. I had to rush her back home yesterday night since she passed out at the club. I shouldn't have taken her there in the first place, I blame myself for it. "How is she?" I stop to ask the healer once she's done with her. She's the same woman we met yesterday whom she introduced to me as her mom. "She's fine, Alpha..." "What happened to her?" I ask her worriedly. "Her phone has been sick for some time, and it was finally recovering which led to that. Since her wolf is still weak, she couldn't be strong, which was she passed out," She replies to me, and I sigh briefly. "Will she be fine?" I ask her, and she nods her head. "She will be fine, Alpha. She just needs some rest, and she will eventually be fine when she wakes up," She replies to me, and I nod my head before I walk over to sit beside her on the bed. "
Chapter 29 Alpha Kai My heart seems frozen as I curve her soft lips in mine, and waves of sparks surge through my body. I can't remember the last time I kissed any woman, and doing it now makes me feel so excited. Although I have been involved with many women, but I went as far as setting my boundary not to ever kiss any of them. The way she kissed me tells me that it may be her first time, or she's not just good at this, but I will take charge of it because what does being a pro mean if not doing things perfectly? My lower abdomen twitches excitedly, butterflies flying in my stomach, and I can feel my wolf wavers excitedly inside me. It feels as though we have found the right one, the one we have been avoiding all these years, but I quickly dismiss the thoughts. The door suddenly bursts open, and I quickly pull away from him, turning my head swiftly to find the most annoying being standing there like he'd just seen a ghost. "What the hell! Why didn't you knoc
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
