When I woke up, Kai was by the side of the bed. He had picked a chair and was sitting by the bed, watching me. I had no idea how long he had been standing there and as I opened my eyes to take in the environment, the bright afternoon light flooding the room, I was disoriented. "Relax, beauty. Hope you had a peaceful rest?" He asked as my eyes rested on him. I tried to nod but felt a sudden discomfort around my neck and so I ditched the idea. "How long have you been sitting there?" I asked instead. He smiled. "For a long time, beauty. A really long time." He said. He did not have the book in his hand again and he did not seem to be unkempt. He had even shaved! When had he done that? "You had the stubble last night and I've not seen you all morning Until now. When did you get a good bath?" I asked him instead. "I shaved last night. And, I was in here the moment you fell asleep to bathe and come watch over you while you slumber peacefully," He said. He was still smiling. I sighe
He said as he stooped and planted a kiss on my forehead. I nodded. I was not sure I wanted to remain indoors everytime if that was what pregnancy entailed. I was beginning to feel lazy. As Kai walked to the door, there was a sudden desperate knock on the door. He reached the door and opened it. The guard who was standing there was holding his sword by the hilt, he was breathing with so much gust and Kai walked with him down the hall, slamming the door behind him shut. I was worried as I leapt off the bed and went to the window to see what was really going on down there. There was an entourage and there were a few men on horseback. They were all waiting down the Castle floors, waiting to see the Alpha no doubt… I stood by the window for long, to see what was going to happen then. They did not look like they had come for peace. They looked like that were ready for war. Trouble. They did nothing to hide their intention. As far as I knew, Valmore was not in any trouble with any pack.
The man explained. Kai had been listening attentively as well as all those who had been in the courts. I had been paying rapt attention too. At once, Abramo left the courts and went out to mobilize the men to secure the walls and the gates against any more miscreants. I could hear him shouting orders to the men as they ran to and fro. "The items are not yours to begin with. It is a bit difficult for me to understand how you have come to demand things that are not yours while trying to impress on us that you will take our fight and fight?' Kai said. He was angry as he spoke and the men did not speak for a long time. They were silent for a long while. "I will way you to leave Valmore now and we shall handle whatever trouble comes with the items we possess. It is ours to worry about not yours." Kai said. The men exchanged puzzled glances but did not make any attempt to leave. Kai stood there, brimming with anger as he watched them. "We are afraid you might be forced to submit the b
"It is perhaps by chance that I know this story myself. Now to the story, the men he had taken to form a pack had turned against him and had also taken with them the chest and had abused the magical items in it just as the son had done…They, captured many small packs and did many evil and perverted justice and looted packs and took the wives of others until the Moon Goddess had, had enough and the chest along with the items had disappeared on its own.”The men had thought that chest was stolen while they had slept, but when they could not find it, they had accused one another of the theft of the chest and they had fought and killed each other. For years, the chest appeared in many different places and so many packs had tried to open it to see its content all to no avail and then they had tried to keep it but it had kept on disappearing-“"Does that explain why we had seen it in a dilapidated house in the former Artic pack?”Kai asked. Abramo's eyes flung wide open in surprise. "Is th
[Eight months later]Kai’s POV Katara had been with her ladies when she had been suddenly rushed out. I was right in the hallway, coming to the chambers to be with her when the ladies rushed her out. She was in labor and was going to give birth soon. I wanted to carry her off to wherever she was to be taken to but the ladies will not let me. "Let me carry her so it will be easier for you. Surely, you can not hold her like this and walk this slowly when she is in obvious pains." I tried to explain to the ladies but they will not hear of it. Katara was wailing as she took one laborious step after the other. I was not going to watch them continue in such slow progression so I brushed past them and whisked Katara off her feet. The ladies gasped in surprise but did not say anything when I began to walk away to the direction I suspected they were headed. It was to the midwife's place… Katara was still tearing at her clothes and thumping her fists on my chest when I arrived the midwife's
Alpha Kai's POV“Mate.”I whispered, in a hushed tone, walking towards where she squat.With droplets of cold rain splashing vividly on her body, she trembled on her spot, shivering from the weather.“P-please don’t hurt me…please.” she begged immediately, her eyes bolting from us. It made me realize she was afraid of us. Of something.It made me want to hug her. Tell her not to be afraid, that I wasn't going to hurt her anytime soon. “Look at me.”I ordered her.I could smell her by now.It was something delicious and my beast was loving it. He was threatening to surface, wild with uncontrollable passion for this beautiful creature in front of us.“I said look at me!”Still in a scare, she removed her hands slowly peeking to see a part of my face. My mate narrowed her eyes at the sight of me.She had a red frizzy hair and a petite frame. Something told me she could be bigger, that she wasn't in the best of places right now...I hoped she liked what she saw.I had a dirty blond hai
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Alpha Kai's Pov “Cease fire!!” I echoed, in a thunderous and intimidating voice. Watching as my mate, ducked into a ball, from the effect with her hands covering her. I walked towards her protectively. “Mate.” I whispered, in a hushed tone, walking towards where she squat. With droplets of cold rain splashing vividly on her body, she trembled on her spot, shivering from the weather. “P-please don’t hurt me…please.” she begged immediately, her eyes bolting from us. It made me realize she was afraid of us. Of something. It made me want to hug her. Tell her not to be afraid, that I wasn't going to hurt her anytime soon. “Look at me.” I ordered her, wondering why she wouldn't gaze at me. I could smell her by now. It was something delicious and my beast was loving it. He was threatening to surface, wild with uncontrollable passion for this beautiful creature in front of us. “I said look at me!” Still in a scare, she removed her hands slowly peeking to see a part of
Katara's POV The journey to Alpha Kai’s pack was quite a tedious one. Long, tiring and draining. It made me wonder why he came all this way to attack Artic Wolves pack. Goddess knows what dad did to him, to get such a massive blow. “Sleepy?” a tone snickered, which made me arch my brow up. I was put in the carriage while numerous guards rode horses, with some walking on foot. They made it seem like I was some kind of prized possession. “A little yes…” I eyed Kai as I trailed that word out. Feeling a little self-conscious at his dark and intimidating gaze on me. I saw a part of his face twitch, covered in a frown. "Why did you abduct me?" I weakly asked him, not knowing what to do. "You'll understand soon, mate." “Here mate, lean on me.” he surprisingly came opposite to me, sitting just beside me. It was beginning to get cold and frosty every minute. My wolf stirred, but I pushed her right back in. I swallowed a gulp, doing what he said. Closing my eyes, and totally avoiding
