Corey's POV I sat down on the couch to ponder on what Kai had said. His proposal was based on logic and he had more to lose than me. If he took me in and the child turned out to be for my ex, he'd have spent a lot of money taking care of the both of us. My concern was what would happen if the child wasn't his. If I was to live under his care, it meant joblessness and dependency on him. I hated to be in both states but there was no feasible option yet. I needed to take a walk and have a breath of fresh air, then I remembered that I still had some cleaning to do. I couldn't let anyone find out how unkempt my house was again so I began to clean. It was stressful cleaning the rugs and furniture but determination was one thing that was never missing in my life. After the house became sparkling, I smiled in fulfilment. My stomach grumbled, reminding me that I hadn't eaten any solid food. There was a little human growing in me that I had to feed so I quickly had my bath and rushed out o

Corey's POV Natasha and I walked out of my apartment, ready to go to the supermarket. I wore a pair of blue jeans that fit tightly to my skin and a tank top with a pair of flats. I wasn't showing, yet I felt that people could know that I was pregnant if I revealed my belly too much. While thinking of the pregnancy, I remembered Kai's proposal. Since he left, I didn't make an effort to reach out to him because I was confused and uncertain. Also, the idea of being in comfort and having it taken away from me if the baby wasn't mine repulsed me. I tucked some of the stubborn strands of my hair that strayed behind my ear and turned to see some of the men at the apartment adjacent to mine. They looked big but rough and I wondered how they were allowed to disturb the territory with their noise.I had almost looked away when I noticed Kai, standing in their midst."Speaking of the devil," I muttered under my breath and glanced at Natasha who was focused on starting the car. He wasn't

Kai's POV My hands on the wheel trembled slightly as I remembered what would have happened in the bar. I wondered what was happening to me and I shook my head as if the single act could delete all the imaginations whirling in my mind. I had arrived home so I headed for the wine cellar in the living room, tossing my jacket on the armchair. My mind was in a state of chaos and my body was restless so I poured some vodka into a shot glass and took it in one gulp. "You're back already?" Tracey waltzed and stood beside me with a puzzled look. Drinking immediately after I came back from work was out of character and with the questioning look on her face, I knew that she wanted a reply from me. "Yes, I am. How did your day go?" I asked, snuggling her closer to myself."It went well, but why are you drinking? This is unlike you." She stated. I raked my hands through my hair as I cocked my head to the side and regarded her slowly. If only she knew the fix I was in, she'd join me for some

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 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
