Kai's POV Tracey slanted a worried look at me, but I patted her shoulders and led Callan towards the living room so that Corey wouldn't hear more than she should. "Dead? How did that happen?" I inquired, and then he folded his arms, lowering his head in thought while trying to process the information. "Speak up! Callan. What the hell happened?" My nose flared while I balled my hands into fists, wishing I could catch the perpetrator. Not too long ago, Tracey had been telling me to be more vigilant with the pack and now this happened. He took a deep breath, his face masked with calmness. "It happened last night in the woods, we tried to contact you but you weren't reachable. The family has decided not to say anything until you visit them, Alpha. I think you should do that soon." He advised and I nodded. I massaged my temples in frustration and paced around. "Tell everyone to be on alert including the omegas. I don't want to hear any other bad news while I'm dealing with this. And t

Kai's POV My eyes popped at her question as I wondered what her motive was for asking me the question. "I was at home last night, did anyone tell you otherwise?" I asked and she shrugged. She was merely speculating and I had to up my game by getting the surprise I was planning for her ready. I'd have done it when I got back or even paid someone to do it, but I was exhausted from Ryan's debacle and I needed to rest. "No one did. I just felt like asking since you were so eager to send me away from the house." She replied, playfully and I felt better at her response. "Do you have any plans for today?" I probed, hoping that she would reply positively so that I would go home and do something romantic for her. It could be the last time we would do that until my case with Dexter was settled. "Yes, I do. I'm not done with the rural development course I was telling you about and the classes will continue till the end of the month. I'm a tad bit late because of the meeting but that isn't

Kai's POV I drove without restraint to Dexter's apartment. I'd called Lawrence last night and he was able to get me his house address even though it proved hard because of how private Dexter was. Anger surged through my veins as I imagined landing a heavy punch at him. Something was appalling about his house address, it was in the countryside with old and abandoned houses littered on each side. Our father had willed some of his properties to him and that was enough for him to live comfortably. If he wanted to live in the forest, it was his business. Finally, I found a house that matched Lawrence's description and parked my car opposite it. My mate wasn't aware of my plans and if anything happened to me, it would prove a bit difficult for her to find me. I walked quietly on the dried leaves which made crunchy sounds till I got to the front of his house. The smell of spoiled food filled the air, so I covered my nose to avoid throwing up. My eyes darted around to be sure that I wasn

Kai's POV I'd dug out his heart in rage but I didn't regret my action. The rest of them present would know better than to talk or go against me. Two of the guards who were standing near me came and carried him away. He was a traitor who didn't deserve to be buried so he would be thrown into the woods where the rogues will see him and take caution. My claws retreated into my fingers and everything became normal. "So, Callan, are the men ready? Do we need to give them more time?" I asked and returned to my seat. He got up from his chair, "They are ready. We have always been ready from the jump, all they needed was extra preparation which they are getting." He replied. I massaged the stubble on my chin and shut my eyes while thinking of my decision. Dexter had threatened me and given me a sign, if I relaxed he would strike and the outcome was going to be deadly. "We have to attack tonight. Let's all be on alert. We are to meet at the woods by 8pm, all geared up with our warring at

Kai's POV The town was filled with victory chants as everyone screamed joyfully because of our victory. I'd never been more fulfilled in my entire life before. For the first time, I led my people to war and we returned successfully. Tracey walked beside me, our clothes were torn and her eyes were tired and wary. "We'll have to be discreet so that Corey won't suspect anything." She said, flashing a weak smile at me. "I know. It's not yet time to reveal who we are to her, she might get scared and leak out secrets and that is the last thing we need right now." I replied, agreeing to her suggestion. Callan intercepted us as we came out from the woods. "I need to speak with you privately," "Go and finish up what you started, I'm waiting for you by the car." She nudged me and planted a kiss on my forehead. I watched her walk away then I returned my gaze to Callan. "Is there any problem?""Dexter's body is missing. I searched around while we gathered the corpses of the rogues but I di
