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 will surely get it for you," I reply to him, and he squeaks excitedly.
I glance at Ariel whose gaze has been outside all this while. She looks like she has so many things running through her mind, and for some unknown reason that has made me act weird all this while, I feel so concerned and the need to ask her what is bothering her.
"Are you okay, Ariel?" Ruby's voice suddenly sounds from behind me as if she read my thoughts, and I can't help but smile that at least my daughter noticed that and is also concerned about her.
"Yes, dear. I am fine. I am just feeding my eyes with nature," She turns to face Ruby while having a wide smile on her face, and I feel my heart miss a beat. She looks so sexy when she smiles, and I can't help but admire her. Just what the fuck is this young lady doing to me?
Silence ensues in the atmosphere until we arrive at the mall.
"We're here..." Nathan squeaks excitedly, jumping down the car as soon as Ariel opens the door for him.
"Behave yourself, Nathan," Ruby scolds her, and I roll my eyes. Look who is taking up the responsibility of a sister. That's so nice.
"Will you wait here while I go in with the kids?" Ariel asks as she walks over to me, her gaze held low like she's scared of looking at me or something. What the hell am I even saying? Nobody is ever brave enough to look me in the eyes, not even a man, let alone a woman. I understand that I can be terrifying, but can she just please stop being scared of me? I don't want her to.
"I will come with you," I reply to her, and she slowly nods her head. She takes the kids' hands and strides toward the entrance door, while I trail behind her.
I must confess that the mall is stocked with expensive and beautiful clothes made for both young, adults, and babies too. They also have the best customer service here, and I must confess that I have been missing a lot not coming here to buy things by myself.
"Cut that crap, Kai. We both know that you're being like this because of Adelie," I quickly remind myself.
"Daddy, will you go around with us, while Ariel waits here?" Rubby requests as she runs to me and holds my hand while pouting her lips.
"Sure, baby girl," I ruffle her hair, leading her away with Nathan afterward, while Ariel waits for us in the waiting bench.
After spending over two hours going around the mall and selecting clothes since my kids kept forcing me, we finally leave the mall for the villa afterward.
"It was fun, right?" I ask Ruby as I drive down the road.
"Yes, it was," She replies to me excitedly.
"Did you have fun, Nathan?" I glance at Nathan and ask.
"Yes, daddy. It was so fun, and I wish we can do this more often," He smiles at me, and I nod my head.
After driving for what seems like forever, we finally arrive at the villa and I park the car neatly in the garage.
"I will take the kids to get some rest now. They must be tired," Ariel says to me thoughtfully after she hops out of the car, and I nod my head.
"Alright. Meet me in the garden when you're done putting them to rest," I say to her before I leave the kids with her, not after hugging them one after the other.
"Greetings, alpha,"
"Welcome, alpha,"
"Greetings, alpha," The maidens keep greeting me as I walk down the verandah a few minutes later, but I ignore all of them and head straight to my study to continue what I was doing before I left for the mall.
I push the door open as soon as I arrive at my study, but I stop on my track when I walk in and find Max sitting there with his legs on the desk. What the hell is he doing here? Don't tell me he hasn't left here for three hours that I left.
"You're here?" He raises his gaze to look at me, and I sigh briefly.
"Have you been here?" I ask him, walking over to sit on my chair, and he scoffs.
"Come on, stop talking as if you don't know me too well. We haven't talked about what I came here for, so why should I leave?" He rolls his eyes at me.
"Is that why you waited here for three hours?" I scoff at him.
"It's better than not seeing you. I know you won't leave your unfinished work, which means that even if you had come back at night, you would still come here. What difference does it make? I wouldn't have seen you again today if I had left earlier," He shrugs, and I shake my head unbelievably.
"What do you want this time, Max? Make it quick and short. I have something important to do," I say to him coldly, and he scoffs.
"Stop trying to use that voice on me. It won't work," He shrugs, and I sigh briefly.
"What do you want, Max?" I ask him, and he sighs.
"Why don't you talk to Philip about the contract?" He asks, and I bite my lip. Not again, please...
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 12 Ariel POVNo matter how much I try to be fine, it's just not working. Looking at my hand and not seeing the bracelet makes me feel like I've lost everything. That is the only thing that was left with me, the only thing that may help me find my family later. I know it's just a bracelet that can easily be replaced with another one, but this is painful. "Will you come to pick us up later?" Ruby and Nathan ask simultaneously after I drop them off at the front of their school gate. Their school is just around the villa, and they can even come back home by themselves, but it seems like it's not safe for them, since they are alpha's kids, and the Alpha would have many enemies that would want to harm his kids. "Hmm. I'll do that. Be a good boy, and you, Ruby, take care of your brother, ok?" I squat and ruffle their hair. "Bye, Ariel," They both say before they walk inside the gate. I wait for them to meet their class teacher before I finally walk back to hop in the
Chapter 13 Alpha Kai I check my wristwatch restlessly for the sixth time and ruffle my hair impatiently. I have been waiting for her for the past hour, and she's not yet here. "Hey, dude," The door suddenly opens, and Max walks in with his two hands in his pockets. "I didn't remember asking you to come in. Why didn't you knock?" I throw him a glare, but he only shrugs as he pulls out the chair and sits on it, crossing his legs afterward. "I saved you the stress of throwing me out by not knocking. So, what's up?" He asks, and I roll my eyes at him. "Why are you here?" I ask him. "Why else? Of course, I'm here to ask what has come over you, Kai. This is not you," He replies to me, while I stare at him confusingly, wondering what he's talking about. "What are you saying?" I ask, clueless about what he's saying. "Do you love her this much, or are you infatuated with her curvy shape and fine face? The Kai I know would not sacrifice his sleep to search th
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
