Kai's POVI yawned tiredly, stretching my arms as everything looked boring. Even taking another glance at my computer caused pain in my sore eyes. Though I was exhausted, my mind remained restless with several thoughts swirling in my head, especially how I was going to keep Corey hidden in the mansion without Tracey getting to find out. I averted my attention from the files on the table and stared at the clock on the wall. It was 4 pm already and I began to wonder how I managed to work for that long. The lead I've been trying to get proved hard to get and I'd never faced such difficulty since when I became an Alpha. My phone vibrated on the desk which caused a loud hiss to escape my lips. I didn't want to have a conversation with anyone, yet my position as an Alpha forced me to pick it up. I checked the caller and discovered that it was Corey. "Hi, Corey. Is anything the matter?" I asked with a clipped voice. She breathed sharply, but I could sense her worry and panic. "We have t
Kai's POV Tracey came running toward me. The fall wasn't serious and even if I had injuries, it would heal quickly because of how my body worked. My eyes darted to Tracey whose hands were all over my body, but I wasn't able to see her face clearly because of the thick fog of darkness that spread in the garden. I wouldn't have been able to make out the figure of the rogue, if not for the faint light that was flashed toward him by whoever was watching. "Are you alright?" She asked with her voice laced with deep concern. "Yes, I am. But I regret not catching that rogue, I was so close to catching him and then he used my lack of focus to his advantage." "Don't beat yourself up. At least, we have gotten some details about him." She said to console me, but deep down I felt like my efforts weren't enough. I wasn't easily distracted and people knew me to be a goal-getter. I couldn't rule my pack if I kept losing my shit. "Tomorrow, we'll have a meeting with the ruling council and Beta
Kai's POV I took some steps further away from the courtroom as I didn't want my Luna or anyone else to hear my conversation with him and begin to ask questions. "What do you want?" My words were clipped, leaving my mouth through gritted teeth as I looked over my shoulder. "That shouldn't be hard for you to guess. Even a dumb man will know that I'd like to have a share of your wealth." He paused while I huffed, "You know, I've heard people sing your praises about how good and generous you are. Unfortunately, I don't need your good side, just the generous one." He chuckled like a maniac, as I thought of several ways to deal with him. I further moved away from the courtroom to the hallway so that my voice wouldn't be heard in case I lost my shit and began to yell over the phone. "Mr Ryan, there's no part of me you are going to see apart from one which is my devilish side. I'd hidden it for people like you, trust me, you don't want to see it." I growled and wished that he was right in
Corey's POV My eyes widened in shock when I felt Kai's warm lips on mine. I was quick to notice how his eyes lingered on my body, especially my exposed cleavages. I didn't dress to seduce him on purpose as I wasn't expecting any visitors till he called me on short notice. Though our actions were forbidden, his lips still called out to me. I felt several sparks and fluttery feelings in my stomach. Even my core tingled so tightly with pleasure that I didn't want to stop, but if I didn't, his hands which were already on my ass would move somewhere else. And I didn't want us to give Ryan more reasons to blackmail us. "Stop! Kai." I panted and escaped his grip. He looked dazed for a second but quickly, the vulnerable look was replaced with a stoic and serious one. I couldn't believe that we just had a wild and passionate kiss. "I'm sorry for that. I didn't know what came over me." He apologised calmly and I nodded, even though his apology was the last thing I wanted. I wished he coul
Kai's POV I felt relieved when Doctor Hermione didn't make the mistake of addressing me as an Alpha. Though the humans didn't know about our existence, I still had to be careful. Before coming to see her, I'd briefed her about everything that happened and made sure that no one else could know about it. She held a glint of disappointment, but she didn't dare question me about my actions. I was her Alpha and I didn't owe her any explanation. "Have you been going for antenatal?" She asked Corey after we both made ourselves comfortable on the chairs before her desk. Though she didn't approve of what I did to Tracey, she was still ready to help. "Yes I have," She replied softly, playing with the zipper of her black bag. "Alright, we are going to take an ultrasound to make sure that the baby is doing well there." She informed us, pointing towards Corey's stomach. Deep down, I hoped that the child belonged to me. Even though it would cause a ruckus between Tracey and me, an heir to the
Corey's POV "Speaking of moving in, that will happen tomorrow. I can't risk anything happening to you and the baby." He announced warily, while I nodded in agreement. A realisation struck me, he rarely referred to the baby as ours, but rather as 'the baby'. It felt weird but I couldn't blame him because he couldn't claim the child yet. "You've got it all settled? What if your wife finds out?" "She won't if we are careful. There are several buildings in the compound so you can live in one of the apartments as my neighbour, but you won't move around within the front gate." He analysed as I stifled a yawn. "I don't think I'll have several places to go to since I don't have a job and Natasha would be coming to visit." I agreed. "That's perfect." He said and glanced at his wristwatch, immediately I knew that we had to leave. "Let's meet the doctor first and then we'll move. I'll drop you at home." He offered. "Thank you," I replied and brought down my dress that had ridden up to my
Kai's POV I couldn't tell what was wrong with me, maybe it was because she was carrying a child I could feel was already mine. Or her anger at my mishap had taught me not to mess with her. When she talked about what she would lose if she caused an accident, I also added the child to my heart. She wasn't the only one who would get hurt if she lost the baby. "Am I?" She asked, glimmering with excitement. "Of course," I assured her then remembered that I had Tracey and shook off whatever I was feeling. This was also an act of betrayal to her. "Let's go home, I'm sure you want to rest. It has been a stressful day." "Yea, it has. I pray Natasha will be at home to help me pack or I wouldn't be able to do anything." "She should because today and tomorrow will be the last day for you to see each other this week." I reminded her and her face became sullen. "You don't have to be sad, this is just for let's say seven more months then you'll be free to return to the life you already knew."
Corey's POV I stared absentmindedly at the medium-sized box and duffel bag that I had kept by the side of the bed. It was finally time for me to leave and enter another phase of my life and I couldn't deny that I was filled with trepidation. The clock ticked slowly as I waited for both Natasha and Kai to come around. Natasha and I were to have a last-minute discussion before I'd move over to Kai's house, but since she was still at work, I had to wait. I rose up slowly from the couch and walked towards the window, staring at everything that the street was made up of knowing that I'd miss it all. Though I'd been thinking about the new phase, it had never felt more real than it did now. I was jolted from my thoughts by the click of heels I heard and my lips twitched. Natasha was around and I couldn't deny that I was already getting teary. "Corey!" She screamed and hugged me. "Girl, I'm going to miss barging into your house anytime I feel like it." Her voice was croaked and I could t
