Corey's POV I froze when I heard someone call him. It sounded weird and I wondered why someone would address him as an Alpha. My eyes darted to Kai whose face was as stoic as ever. I couldn't tell what he was thinking as his expression remained unreadable, though his eyes showed glints of surprise. "What are you doing here, Callan?" He addressed the man who looked huge and strikingly handsome with a gruff voice. "I normally come here to have my morning coffee and I don't think you frequent here often." He replied. "No… I don't. Can we talk later? I have some matters to attend to. Let's go, Corey." He said to me while I bowed in greeting to his friend and walked behind Kai. Since I came with my car, there was no need for him to take me home but I still wanted to know why he addressed him as an Alpha as I couldn't shake off the feeling that it was a narcissistic behaviour of his."Thank you for treating me to a nice cup of coffee. I enjoyed it," I began. "It's my pleasure, Corey
Corey's POV Natasha's question threw me off balance. Till now I never realised that I acted like someone who had feelings for him. "Like who?" "Don't act dumb, Corey. I can see how you glow whenever you talk about him, and most times you want to be with him. Those things you do only mean one thing, you are harboring feelings for him." Natasha said as I stared at her blankly. My heart thudded faster as I processed everything she said. I thought of the previous meetings with him, especially when we almost kissed at the bar. "Am I right?" She propped her chin against her arm. "I don't know. He's a good man and I'm very sure that he is the father of my son. I think it's nice that we bond well." I shrugged, schooling my face into a mask of calm. "Why do I think that you are lying? I haven't forgotten what you told me about your meeting with him at the bar. Love is in the air.." She made a sniffing sound and giggled while I threw the cushion I'd be resting in at her. She dodged it an
Kai's POV Escaping Callan's mistake at the café and Corey's questions was a miracle. How could he be that absent-minded to forget that people weren't supposed to know our identity or the fact that we ever existed?I growled as I dialled his number so that we could meet in my office. Allowing him to make that same mistake again was the last thing I would do. "Callan, I'd like you to be in my office in the next ten minutes," I demanded and dropped the phone, not minding if he was busy with other errands that I had sent him for. While I awaited his arrival in my office, my mind drifted to the hasty decision I'd made concerning Corey's accommodation. It was wrong of me to bring her home without Tracy's knowledge but I had no choice. It was already decided and since I wasn't ready to tell her about it, we both had to be careful. I turned on my laptop and checked through the list of buildings that I could buy. Some days ago, I had made plans with my development team to renovate some ab
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
