Alpha Miles POVI was heading home when I got a text from Kenzie.A similar text. I hissed.No way her mum could have slumped.More messages kept coming in.I knew what she was up to. She wanted me. Just like yesterday. Little did she know I was worn out and needed to take a break.I slouched on the car seat to relieve the intense moments shared with Zara. Scrolling through my phone, her call came in.Going through my call logs to see she had called 59 times. Damn! 59 times!I picked up her call. All I heard was tears.“Where are you Kenzie? What’s happening? So much noise in the background.” I could hear two people arguing loudly in the background; breaking things.“Just comes quickly. In my parents' house.” She said amidst tears.I wasted no time. I drove at top speed.On arriving at her place, she approached me by the door. Crying and waiting at the doorstep for me to take her in my arms.I ran to meet her. Embracing her first. I felt guilty not picking up her calls. Couldn’t pick
Alpha Miles POV“My father is angry I won’t be competing for the Alpha position. He wants me to leave the pack and handle some business for him in Paris. That’s his way of punishing me. But I count it my blessing.”“You can’t leave now. What happens to us? Especially now that I need you the most. Maybe you would have to just participate in the competition.” Ambrose highlighted.“We can talk about that later. Ambrose, do you think your parents will show up or I had better drive down to meet them? I called them but no response so I sent a text...”I was still talking when Kenzie’s dad barged in – running helplessly towards our direction.Her mum was nowhere to be found. She wasn’t coming. She must be nursing her miscarriage. Her pain as well. But why wouldn’t she come to the hospital? What would she tell outsiders about what happened to the baby?“Where is my daughter?” Kenzie’s dad. His face was forlorn and wrinkled with grief. More regret than worry was etched on his face. He must be
Alpha Miles POV MONTHS LATER… With Brian gone and Kenzie on the hospital bed, Ambrose and I were mostly comfort buddies. We became close friends. Frequently, we visited Kenzie together. We’d cook and go shopping for things she’d need together. Kenzie didn’t mind we were getting to know each other. If we were going to get married, I should at least get close to her sister since her parents were on the edge of divorce. However, thanks to Zara who bumped into us at the hospital and helped tremendously, Kenzie’s dad wasn’t going to get imprisoned for beating his wife’s child to miscarriage. Thanks to her Detective brother Leo. The only downside – Kenzie’s mum was filing for a divorce. Yeah, she had cheated and lost a baby. So she thought it best to divorce the man responsible for murdering her baby. No forgiveness could come out of this. She had tried to find ways to forgive him and mend their broken relationship. But only hurt and revenge hung in the basement of her heart. For so lo

Alpha Miles POV“I’m not you!” I found myself bursting into feats of anger. Finally, my rage and pent-up frustration were getting the best of me. All those times of holding on against Kenzie for her silent treatment and weird behaviour sort of release. And her father was just the right target. “Unlike you, I won’t put up a fight with my better half just to get the truth out of her. I’m better than that. If she can’t have a decent conversation with me; then I’ll wait till she comes around.”I think my words got to Kenzie’s dad as a punch flew across my face.Hating his bad behaviour, my anger came undone. I charged at him and missed.How could I miss my target?Ambrose came in the way and prevented me from hitting the bastard. Sorry, her father.I had punched her in the face instead. Shit!Kenzie’s dad just gave me a mean stare and went on his way. Not waiting to even check on his daughter.I checked on Ambrose, regretting my actions. “Did I hurt you?”Such a stupid question. With the
Alpha Miles POVI need you at my pavilion now!Alpha Jerry sounded rather too harsh on the phone. Rudeness escaped his action as he hung up the phone.Had he meant to call his Beta or Gamma? Perhaps the call was a mistake.This will be the first time he will be summoning me in such a manner.He had always accorded me the respect befitting an Alpha.Did I do something wrong again?Was my wolf going about wreaking havoc behind my back?How many people have I WRONGED in a day?First Kenzie and now my predecessor-to-be.I searched my thoughts. I never missed pack meetings. I organized enough tea dates between us to discuss politics. I went rogue sighting and patrol duty. I’ve been nothing short of obedient – only deserving of his validation and approval. I couldn’t lose his approval now.I couldn’t imagine my dad’s face if he got to hear I lost the Alpha position.Oh no – I’m thinking too far.Miles, get it together. It’s not that deep.Yes, it’s not that deep. I was overthinking things.
Alpha Miles POVThe crusty air gave me an eerie feeling.I had not slept well throughout the night. Thinking of Zara and Kenzie. And how to reconcile my mistakes.I had called Zara a few times. Of course, she didn’t bother picking up the phone or calling back. I knew she was angry. I had a right to be angry too. Never telling me about the pregnancy and blowing it up to my face was unforgivable.I didn’t mean to release inside her.Okay agreed – it’s kind of stupid to say that now.I sent a text apologising and committing to make things right. Still no response.I was going to call Kenzie too. But didn’t think there would be any need since I would be going to see her at the hospital.I got lucky.Kenzie allowed me the opportunity for a discussion.I could see she was calmer – even apologising for her outrage the other day.Ambrose must have done a good job. Thanks to her.As I was about to apologise, she cut me off.“I know you didn’t know Zara was pregnant for you until yesterday. The
Alpha Miles POVThe introduction went quite well. Both fathers gave their blessings. Oh, there were best of friends now with our union. My father and Alpha Jerry getting along. And the traditional wedding ensued immediately after with a lot of eating and drinking. So much jollification going on.I had not been as ready as I wanted for all this. But everything was panning out well.Even my father had abandoned his anger and congratulated me heartily.“Glad you finally made it to the Alpha position. You are my son indeed.”Oh, that’s what he was proud of. My achievements. Not me as a person. And I had almost ruined his happiness by refusing to marry Zara. Even if I had taken responsibility for the child, that wasn’t enough to make Alpha Jerry forgive me. Knowing his person, he would have eventually threatened me with the Alpha position. After all, there were many eligible men in the super pack from royal lineage. I was just lucky. Or could I have vehemently refused? Probably by now, I’d
