Chapter 111Ace's POV“H…how did you find out?” she stutters, clearly shocked. “Nothing can be hidden in this pack house for long, Lexa. You don't want to come with me because you are with Kai's child, right?” I asked hoping she would say no. My eyes dart toward her hand that she absentmindedly placed on her stomach. That little gesture was the only confirmation I needed.“So it's true. How could you, Lexa? You said you didn't love him. You said you are only with him for his power, and now you are with his child? Do my feelings mean nothing to you?” I utter hurtfully.“I didn't mean for any of this to happen. But it's done and there's nothing anyone can do about it,” she said, moving closer to me.“I consider this child a blessing. Look on the brighter side, you are going to become an uncle,” she smiles at me.The word uncle just made me angrier than I already was.“Uncle, huh?" I mutter, pacing around and finally stopping by her bedside table. “Do you think I want to be your child's

Chapter 113Alpha Kai's POVI stopped in the corridor and asked the chief in a low voice. “Where is Ace?”“I have no idea, Alpha. Nobody has seen him for the past two weeks,” he replies worriedly.“What is that supposed to mean? Nobody has caught sight of him for that long? Isn't he in the pack house? Did you check his office?” I inquire in a serious tone.“We've checked everywhere. He's nowhere to be found. It's like he disappeared without a trace. Nobody saw him leaving,” he answers as we resume walking.This is making me worried. Ace has never left without informing me before. Was he in trouble or did he get hurt? Why would he leave the pack house like this?“I'm sure he's fine, Alpha. Nobody is strong enough to harm him. You know he has been like this since he was a pup, he likes to be alone sometimes,” he comforts me.“He hid from his father and the pack members, yes. But never from me. He used to tell me every single thing,” I mumble, slowing my pace.“He was supposed to train t

Chapter 115Alpha Kai's POVI take the scroll from the chief and read it. I frown at the message.“What does it say?” Alexa asks curiously. They all look curious.“It says see you at the battlefield,” I said, exactly what I read to them.“That's it?” Alexa mutters in disbelief.“Why didn't he just tell you himself?” Deren asks, looking confused.“We've not seen Ace for a while now. It's been more than two months since I last spoke to him,” I reply honestly, and they all gape at me.“That long? Where has he been?” Darcey inquires.“I don't know. I guess we will find out when we see him. Are the barricades up?” I ask the chief.“It has been up since we received their message. There are guards protecting it,” he replies.“We need to hide the women and children somewhere safe in case the pack walls are breached,” I said.“Leave it to me. I know the perfect place,” Alexa answers.“I will help her,” Darcey assures me, and they leave together.“What the fuck is Ace up to? We are at war, and

Chapter 117Alpha Kai's POV“Ace, we are brothers, and should not be fighting like this. Whatever it is, let's talk it through like we always have. There's still time to talk about everything,” I shout at the top of my voice. The sound of whirling sand and thunder muffles my voice.“Never! I don't want to talk to you. And I am not your brother. You are dead to me, and I will make sure you remain dead to other people as well,” he yells with so much anger and hatred. He moved towards me at a very fast pace and tried to claw at my chest. I move back. He lounges towards me again and our claws clashed in midair.“What happened to you? You used to be a person filled with so much light and warmth. Where did this darkness come from? I know you are still in there somewhere. Just stop fighting me, and we can forget all this ever happened,” I plead desperately. The force with which we were pushing at each other sent our feet screeching against the sand as we both moved back, but none of us would

Chapter 119Alexa's POV“A…alpha who?” I stutter nervously.“Alpha Ace,” she repeats.“How? Since when?” I croak out, confused. The last time I remembered, I was on the battlefield. How did I get here and when did Ace become the new Alpha?She stares at my confused state, pitifully.“He was crowned a week ago, while you were unconscious,” she said.I gulped and forced myself to ask the question I'd been dreading the answer to since I woke up. “W…hat about Alpha Kai?” I ask, holding my breath in anticipation. Please tell me that he is alive, and I was just having a bad dream.She sighs. “Alpha Kai died on the battlefield. He has been buried,” she replies. I grip my dress tightly, letting out a shaky breath that I've been holding. My throat clogs and throbs painfully as reality dawns on me. My eyes brim with tears. “He's dead. He's really gone forever,” I mumble as I burst into tears. I can literally see my life crashing before me like a pack of cards. I placed my head on my thighs and
