Chapter Twenty-four Ivory's PovNelson ran around my office as if it was a playground, I couldn't help but chuckle at his childish acts, he was a child of course but his innocence reminded me of the goddess, she is famous for her purity and innocence, it was of course not easy smuggling him into my office, paparazzi was everywhere and been seen with a little boy who stylishly resembled me was not food for my reputation.I would be engaged soon and married, my father was also absent, the least I could do was keep things low until he returned, news of his daughter having a child around in the office wasn't impressive so I had few trusted people take Nelson into my office to avoid any form of suspicions, Tyler owed me one for my hard work, I never hid anything that much in my life.My phone vibrated and I picked it up."Hello ma'am, your order is ready." "Okay, have it delivered to my office right away." I said flatly and hung up.Nelson shrieked in happiness as he bounced on the tramp
Chapter Twenty-fiveTyler's PovI seethed in anger as I walked back to my chambers, my father never ceased to annoy me, I only tolerated his presence because of Nelson and because he was the alpha of the pack, ever since Ivory died; I developed a form of hatred and bitterness towards him, he was one of the many people who stood against my relationship with Ivory, just because my mother was no more he assumed the role of a matchmaker.Instead of seeing me as a son, he saw me as a tool for gaining more power, when I tried to tell him Ivory was my mate he was against it and would rather I marry a powerful pack's daughter, all he cared about is expanding his coasts and making more money at everyone else's expense, who does that?I felt a mighty gust of wind rush past me and I grunted, it was him, my father was double-crossing me."What the hell do you want? My life?" I said sarcastically."That's no way…" he began but I cut him short."To talk to the alpha of the pack, I know! My apologie
Chapter Twenty-sixHarriet's Pov"Mommy! I want ice cream!" Nelson's said for the hundredth time.It was afternoon already and he was pestering me that he wanted ice cream, I would have ordered it for him but by the time it would get to us it would have melted, so the only way was to go get it, the ice cream shop would definitely would be crowded and I was easily spotted among the crowd, my hair and beauty make it almost impossible to go out in disguise.I tried to make him understand but he wasn't listening."Nelson darling, we can't go outside, it's dangerous, your father wouldn't approve of it." I said convincingly."But I want ice cream." He whined."We'll get ice cream later, I'm busy right now." I lied.He pouted and stared right at me."Daddy said you'll give me whatever I want." He said.I inwardly cursed Tyler, how did he manage to spoil his son this much yet train him so well? "Mommy, I want ice cream." Nelson drawled.I began to get irritated by his incessant demand for ic
Chapter Twenty-sevenKratis PovI was frustrated, I sneaked into Nelson's room after much effort but he was nowhere to be found, I wondered where he went because I don't remember seeing him leave the mansion, I happened to be passing by and heard the exchange between Tyler and the alpha, I discovered from their conversation that Nelson had left.I seethed in anger and was more irritated when Tyler didn't disclose Nelson's location, I needed to know where he was so I would strike, one more thing I got to know was that Tyler wasn't over Ivory yet and it meant he would be weak, werewolves are never fully strong without their mates.The security was getting more tight and I couldn't hold on any longer, the longer I stay; the higher the risk of been found, when I got the chance to, I left the mansion and went into the city, my plan was to find people who gated Tyler as much as I did and would help me bring him down.My stomach rumbled as I passed by an ice cream shop, I had little cash on
Chapter Twenty-eightHarriet's PovI was pissed off by the man's insolent attitude, I heaved a sigh of relief as we left the shop, no one recognized me and that was pure luck, I don't respond to rude people but something stirred a justified anger in me when he called Nelson fatherless, Nelson had a responsible and good-looking father, he was a child but it didn't authorize the bastard to insult him.Nelson was oblivious of the happenings around him and I was grateful for that, it would be traumatic to the little boy if he has a memory of someone taunting him, life was already unfair to him by taking away his mother prematurely, I wasn't planning on adding to that."Mommy, the ice cream isn't perfect anymore, let's get one more cone." Nelson pouted.I chuckled, we just got out of trouble and he wanted to get more ice cream."Let's go to another ice cream stall." I suggested."No, I want ice cream from here." He whined.I grunted lowly, there was no argument when it comes to him, the th
Chapter Twenty-nine Kratis PovIf Ivory was alive it meant the little boy beside her was Nelson, I couldn't believe my luck! I only wanted revenge on Nelson but now killing off Ivory would be a plus, it would totally wreck Tyler and would be perfect, I sprang to my feet and rushed outside but they were nowhere to be found, I quickly checked he surroundings to see if they were still hanging around but didn't find them.I grunted and punched a wall angrily, I blamed myself for being foolish and not acting soon, I'd lost the opportunity, there was no way I would find them in such a big city, if only I had someone who would help, my stomach grumbled again reminding me that my hunger was becoming unbearable, I grudgingly went to a restaurant and ordered a take out.The phone I stole rang and I picked it up."Hello." The caller said."Hello Jacob." I said snidely.I could feel his body tense from where I was standing."Kratis?" He asked, his voice shaky."Good thing you still remember me,
Chapter ThirtyJacob's PovI banged my fist on the table as Kratis hung up, I never thought my nightmares would be a reality, I ran my fingers through my hair and grunted, it was good Eva had gone outside else she would be worried about me, I thought Kratis was dead and was more grateful when I heard Tyler had banished him from the pack, our history together made me wish him bad things.It wasn't my fault he had a hold on me, it was absolutely the moon goddess fault, she mated to someone I hated with my entire life, worse; my mate rejected me and though it was privately and almost no one knew; Kratis was there.Her excuse was that she was in love with someone else and would rather remain lonely for the rest of life than not get married to him, turns out it was Kratis she was madly in love with, I had no issues with that because I had equally fallen madly in love with Eva as at that time, the rejection was painful but I soon got over it, to make things worse; Kratis never liked my mate
Chapter Thirty-oneTyler's PovIt's been two days ever since Nelson left, I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss him or ache to see Ivory but I had to stay away from them for their own safety, I'd gone in disguise to her house but she wasn't there, I bribed some of the guards but they turned against me instead, it made me feel confident that Nelson was safe.All that was left was to apprehend Kratis and let peace return to the pack, I've been trying my best to find him but it seems he had left the pack and probably went elsewhere but I didn't relent knowing fully well that it meant he would be back with more helpers, I needed to be ready, my father still insisted on sparing Kratis life and it only enraged me more.Alex called to inform me of our business partners who came from overseas; I needed to see them immediately so I left the search for Kratis and went to the company for the meeting, it took half the day as I had to wait and watch them try to revise our business contract and they
