Chapter 123 Ariel POV That dream felt so real that I haven't been able to get it off my mind even after the whole day. "Are you ok?" Kai asks me as he drives us home after we left the office, and I nod my head. "You don't look fine. Are you sure you are?" He asks for the second time, and I sigh briefly. I don't even know how to explain this to him. "That woman... I saw her in my dream," I wanted to tell him, but it just doesn't make any sense. Will he even believe me? Will he listen to me? "I'm fine, really," I reply to him, and he nods his head. "Do you want us to go somewhere?" He asks as he glances at me, but I shake my head. I just want to go home and rest my head right now. "Alright," He mumbles as he nods his head. The rest of the drive to the villa was peaceful, and we arrive at the villa in no time. "Do you want us to bathe together?" He asks as he strips out of his clothes, and I nod my head. "Anything can happen behind that door. Will
Chapter 124 Alpha Kai POV After I had breakfast with Ariel and her father, I finally left for the office earlier than usual, since I have an appointment with a prestigious client of mine. I am still working on getting the culprit behind the death of Ariel's foster mom, trying to find out who that woman she met at the hospital was, and the one Ruby mentioned to have seen, and also working on the preparation of our mating ceremony coming up next week. Everything is exhausting, but I'm glad Max is here by my side, giving me all the support I need. The sound of my ringing phone pulls my attention as I get stuck in the traffic jam after about fifteen minutes of driving, and when I check the caller, I realize that the person is my secretary. "Sir, the person is here now," Her voice sounds through the phone as soon as I answer the call, and I sigh briefly. "Can you buy me some more time? I'm on my way already," I say to her. "Alright, Sir," The call ends afterward
Chapter 125 Ariel POV I woke up this morning with my body hurting like hell. I tried to leave the bed, but couldn't. Kai left for the office earlier before I woke up because of an important appointment, so he had no idea that I am not feeling too well. "Ugh!" I groan tiredly as I toss on the bed before I finally sit up on the bed. I sink my fingers into my hair and grab a handful of it lazily. With all the strength left in me, I stand up from the bed and drag my feet into the bathroom where I have a long and relaxing bathing, thinking that it'll eventually calm me down, but when it only got worse, I decide to go to the hospital and find out what exactly is wrong with me. I try to call Kai on the phone so I can talk to him, but his number didn't go through, so I decided to go to my dad and inform him later about it. I head to my dad's room after I left mine, and when I walk inside, I find him sitting on the edge of the bed, doing nothing. He stands up as soon as I w
Chapter 126 Ariel POV I check my phone for the twentieth time, or maybe it's more than that, in a bid to see if Kai called me earlier, but he hasn't called me, which has been disturbing me. I told him that I was sick since yesterday and he hasn't come to see me. Is he not bothered at all? What is happening? I ask myself and sigh deeply as I drop my phone on the bed. It's 6pm already, and he should be back from the office soon. I can't just conclude yet, not until I find out what exactly happened. As I sit on the edge of the bed, waiting for me, the knock on the door suddenly pulls my attention, and I quickly stand up to get it, thinking he is the one, even though I know he is not the type that knocks before he comes inside when I'm inside the room. 'You are my woman, so are you scared that I would walk in on you naked?' he always asks me whenever I complain about him not knocking before coming into the room. Well, my face drops disappointedly when I pull the door open and
Chapter 127 Ariel POV "Where are you coming from?" He asks me as he stands up to his feet, his eyes blazing with anger. Like seriously? I was hospitalized yesterday, he didn't even care to check on me and know how I was feeling, he left home since morning and came home smelling of another woman and all he can tell me is this? I ask myself and bite my bottom lip angrily. "I went to take a walk with the kids. I see you just got home yourself. What took you so long today? Did something happen at the office?" I ask him, trying so hard to hold myself back. "Who were you with? Why are you smelling like this?" Those are the questions I wanted to ask him, but on second thought, I decide not to do it for some reason I can't even fathom. "I'll freshen up in the bathroom," He replies to me instead before he turns and starts walking toward the bathroom. "You heard that I was hospitalized yesterday... Why didn't you come to see me? This is unlike you," I ask him, and he sto
Chapter 128 Ariel POV "How dare you touch my phone? What has come over you? What is wrong with you?" He snaps at me angrily, and I feel my heart stop beating for some seconds as I stare back at him confusingly and also shocked. Kai has never raised his voice at me before, and this threw me completely off cliff. "I...I...I didn't do anything wrong, Kai... I thought it was an important call from one of your clients, and..." "And you decided to answer it on my behalf when I never asked for it. What the fuck was that?" He yells at me at the top of his voice, and I flinch because this is becoming really scary. Is this the Kai I used to know, or did someone come here last night pretending to be him? I ask myself, but quickly dismiss the thought, because that is one thing that is likely not to ever be possible. I mean, if someone was impersonating him, then he would've been here to claim it since yesterday, right? "You are scaring me, Kai... I didn't do anything..."
Chapter 129 Ariel POV "Wh...what do you mean?" I scoff nervously, telling myself that this is just a coincidence, even with the glaring truth that it's not. Is there something they are not telling me? What the hell is going on? "Is there something you are not telling me?" I ask him as I hold his hands, but he throws his gaze away with that expression that confirms that he really wants to tell me something. "Talk to me, Father... What are you hiding from me?" Again, I urge him, and he finally sighs briefly before he turns his attention to me. "I don't know how you are going to take this, but..." He pauses, and I can't be more curious. What is going on? Why is he being like this? "I heard Alpha Kai is seeing someone else," He releases the bombshell to me, and the world seems to be frozen for seconds as I stare at him, trying to process what he just said. "Seeing someone else? What are you talking about?" I scoff unbelievably, and he takes a deep breath. "
Chapter 130 Max POV "I met Rhea," Kai says to me with no remorse in his voice as he rubs his fingers on his forehead. Rhea? Does she still exist? "Rhea? You met her? How? Is she still alive?" I ask him confusingly, because the last time I checked, she left the Pack on her own after what happened years ago, and nobody has talked about her since then, so how come he is suddenly saying he met her? "Max... I don't know what I'm thinking about right now. I don't know, but I think...I think I still love her," He releases the bombshell to me, and I raise my eyebrows confusingly, wondering what the hell he is talking about. "What are you saying? Are you kidding me?" I scoff as I recline on the chair, and he sighs briefly. "No, I'm not..." "Then you must be out of your mind. Do you know the hell you are saying? Where are those words coming from? Are they really from you?" I slam my hand on the table, and he shut his eyes as he throws his head back. "Can you cal
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
