Kia's POV.It's been two days since my confrontation with Tracy. I have not caught sight of her since then. It was more like she was trying everything to avoid me. I admit I had gone overboard with my words, but they were true. I walked to the kitchen for the hundredth time today, hoping to bump into her.Maybe lurking around the kitchen would not bring the answers I need."Um, Cleo, where.. where is Tracy?" I asked, wondering if I had made a mistake I would regret eventually."Sir Kia, she has not been here since yesterday.""Did she state why she could not come?""No sir, she did not even bother asking for a proper excuse. I don't know who she feels she is... You should deal with her.""Ooh, alright. Thank you for your time."If she was not here, then where could she be? She had passed out on our way back, but the healer had assured us that she was stable. I glanced at my wristwatch; it was almost 6 pm, and the healer promised to be here today to be a second badge of medications.W
Tracy's POVThe footsteps of horses sounded closer and closer. I should not be here because I am quite certain that the noise does not belong to Kia's army. After all, I had already left the black blood pack territory. So, instead of running, I decided to fake death. "Sir, I think she is dead," one of the soldiers said as he came close to me, hovering above me while I tried my best not to blink or make the slightest movement."Step aside, I doubt. She looks fine. She might be in a coma." The person I had assumed to be the Alpha of the pack said as he placed his index finger on my pulse point."She is still alive, he announced as he felt my pulse rate.Now, they know that I'm not truly dead. They would not leave me like that. They might take me back to their pack unconscious and feast with my meat. Pretending to stir so they would think that I was finally awake, I did my ritual of rubbing my eyes. "You are awake now?" maybe it was just me, but I could hear a hint of sarcasm in his v
Gavin's POV Tracy sat across me from the dining table as we had dinner. I occasionally stole glances at her, wondering what someone as pretty as she was doing in the hands of that good-for-nothing Kia. Yeah, I knew about her history. I knew that she was that idiot's mate and that the child she was carrying was Kia's heir. All the more reason why I will use her to take revenge on Kia and his entire pack. But first things first, I needed to gain her trust. "Are you enjoying your meal?" I asked her, playing the role of a perfect host. "It is really nice," She replied, not sparing me another glance. She might be tough, but I am tougher. I need all the information I can get from her. "So why were you so bent on leaving here because of my sister's clothes?" I asked, determined to find a flaw in her words. "Well, you see.., she said between mouthfuls, gesturing for me to let her swallow before replying to me. "I am used to my presence not being accepted. So I did not really think yo
Kia's POVThe search for Tracy dragged on for weeks, and we had checked the entire pack. Checking house after house. Family after family. Putting up ****reward offers for anyone who can find her."What if we checked needless pack? You know her grandma is from there." ***"Right," I had forgotten that Tracy had a link to the Red Cross pack and that she might have gone there, seeking refuge. At the thought of that possibility, we set out to the Red Cross pack in search of Tracy. We came across two people on our way there, but they both claimed not to know her.With that, we resolved to go to the Alpha's house so he could pass it across to the entire pack."I am sorry, but we have not seen her. We will send word across if we do," Was their reply. A reply that let us know that all hopes of finding Tracy were probably lost. But I would not stop trying, not now, not ever. I had wronged her a great deal, and I want to make up for all of it.With a broken spirit, we set out to return to our
Tracy's POV Months had passed since I got here and contrary to my earlier thoughts, being here in the moonlight pack has been swell. The people were kinder, the air was fresh, there were fewer wars and controversies and most of all Garvin has been a darling. Don't get me wrong I am not hoping to enter a relationship with Garvin, I just...see him as a Best friend and supporter. He has been ever so kind to me from the very first day we met and I owe even my life and that of my unborn child to him. I glanced at my calendar. Holy cow it was today! The gender identification date of my baby was today! I could not contain the excitement and anxiety I felt at the same time. Garvin had managed to convince me to attend all my appointments with the midwife, he said it was to ensure I had a complication-free delivery and I appreciated all his efforts. My stomach had extended now, making my baby bump a lot more visible and of course, Garvin had my wardrobe upscaled to include more maternity dr
Garvin's POV.There was a loud knocking on the gate, followed by the sound of the gate being unlocked. Tracy was already here! I thought I had instructed Mrs Linda to stall for some time after she sent her servants here with the results.The door handle twitched and..."Surprise!" I yelled at the top of my voice. If you did not know better, you would think that maybe I had gone mad or was trying to impress my new bride, or maybe I was welcoming my pregnant wife.Tracy's face. She looked utterly taken aback. I mean, it's normal. I, too, would have the same reaction as her. Maybe she thought burglars invaded the house. I was watching her intently with expectant eyes. She took a few seconds to recover from her initial reaction, then she took a step forward and felt one of the many balloons in the room. It had taken a lot of effort to secretly smuggle in decor items without looking suspicious and making the servants think I had gone bunkers. "You did all this?" She finally spoke up.My g
Garvin's POV“Yes, yes, it does," she stuttered, still sniffing her nose."And are you in any way upset with Lisa and me?" I asked, trying to clarify that there was no bad blood between us."Of course not. I am sorry my hormones get messy most of the time.""It's fine. It is nothing to apologize for. We understand. Don't we, Lisa?" I turned to Lisa this time."We do, ma'am," she nodded."Alright, shall we?""Wait a second," she exclaimed as she pulled me by the arm, forcing me back to where she stood."I know you are aware of the spot where those babies are being hidden."All right, she got me there. I did know where they were hidden, more reason why I was elated that we had finally picked the game and happier that she licked it herself so I would not be accused of any foul play. Buy how did she catch up with me so easily? Alright, you caught me. I helped hide the babies; I might have forgotten the exact place where I had placed themNo, I am not taking any chances. Garvin, you will
Kia's POV"What was the outcome of the test""I am afraid, Amber is not pregnant" "She has never been pregnant and the blood here is fake."I looked over at a visibly disoriented Amber. She had vehemently refused to come here, yet still insisted that she was very much expectant. At some point, I believed her and stopped pressing her to get the test done. Well, up until yesterday, when I came home to meet blood stains everywhere. I clearly remember the state in which I found Amber. She had claimed that she was having a bleeding and that the baby might not make it."Chill, Amber, I will take you to the healer Maam Emily"I could not be mistaken by the way she widened her eyes and shook her head, "No not her. My... My mom was already on her way with a healer from her hometown. The...the one who confirmed that I was expectant. You see, she is an expert at what she does, so I.. will just wait for her instead." She kept on batting her eyes and I confirmed that something was wrong. "What i
