Chapter 24 Ariel POV It was weird being around Alpha Kai all day, but it was also fun working here. I literally did nothing today, but just slept off after I had lunch. The food looked expensive and tasted delicious. It was literally my first time eating something that good, that is if I haven't eaten it in the past. Gosh! It was so nice. The door suddenly bursts open, and Ruby rushes in excitedly, and the first thing she does is rush to hug me, while Nathan hurries over to hug his dad. "I'm still your dad, Ruby," He whines after he picks Nathan up and sits him on his lap. "Yes, I know that. I didn't miss you as much as I missed Ariel, so just leave me be," She rolls her eyes at him before she sits on my thighs, hugging me tightly to herself as she rests her head on my chest. "I missed you so much, Ariel. I couldn't wait to see you. I was thinking of you all day in school... I was worried daddy will bully you. Did he bully you? Did he scold you?" She sudde
Chapter 25 Ariel POV It has been a week since I started working as Alpha Kai's assistant, and I haven't really done anything worth working there. I literally go there on daily basis to sleep, and the weird thing about him is that he never complained, instead, he asks me to sleep all I want. I mean, he didn't hire me to come to sleep in his office, did he? Since it's Saturday today, I have been at home all day, watching a cartoon with the kids. I hate watching cartoons and like adult movies instead, but I couldn't have watched it since I'm with the kids, right? It's finally evening, and I put them to sleep before I head to the bathroom to shower and get some sleep. Soaking myself under the bathtub filled with warm soapy water, I caress my body slowly and gently. I stop as the thought of Alpha Kai flashes through my mind, and my heart skips a beat. I don't know why my heart always skips at the thought of him, but I don't think it's something serious. He has been
Chapter 26 Alpha Kai Staring at Ruby's sleep, I sigh deeply for the umpteenth time before I sit up on the bed. I have no idea what came over me since morning, but I've not been myself. I've been thinking about Rhea all day, and I think I'm going to lose my mind soon. It's crazy how she's still stuck in my head even after so many years. 'I'm sorry, Kai, but I can't do this anymore. I don't want to keep lying to you and myself... I don't love you... I never did' although it has been so many years, those words still break me each time I think of it. They never left my head even after so many years, and it hurts a lot. Why did she have to make me fall so deeply in love with her if she never loved me? Why did she have to deceive me and made me believe she loved me? It hurts, but what hurts even more is that I can't get her off my head. Pushing all the thoughts to the back of my mind, I lay beside Ruby on the bed, and cuddle her to myself. Maybe having her by my side will ma
Chapter 27 Ariel POV It's pretty weird going around with the Alpha, as I kept getting glances from people, and it's driving me nuts already. The way they looked at me clearly tells that they think I'm having some sort of relationship with him. I mean that's never going to happen. He may be nice to me, but I'm sure that I'm not his kind of woman. Although I've been having weird feelings about him, but I try to control them because I know nothing can ever happen between us, and that should not even be my problem for now, since I still need to find my family. Silence reigns in the car as he drives us back home after we spent the whole day touring the village after we went to see my mom. As I glance at him, I feel my heart strangely racing fast like I'd just seen a ghost. I don't know why I have been so nervous being around him, but maybe it's because of his aura that keeps consuming me. "Are you ok? You don't look like you are," He breaks the awkward silence after he
Chapter 28 Alpha Kai I pace restlessly in my room as the healer attends to the unconscious Ariel that's just laying on the bed, looking all pale. I had to rush her back home yesterday night since she passed out at the club. I shouldn't have taken her there in the first place, I blame myself for it. "How is she?" I stop to ask the healer once she's done with her. She's the same woman we met yesterday whom she introduced to me as her mom. "She's fine, Alpha..." "What happened to her?" I ask her worriedly. "Her phone has been sick for some time, and it was finally recovering which led to that. Since her wolf is still weak, she couldn't be strong, which was she passed out," She replies to me, and I sigh briefly. "Will she be fine?" I ask her, and she nods her head. "She will be fine, Alpha. She just needs some rest, and she will eventually be fine when she wakes up," She replies to me, and I nod my head before I walk over to sit beside her on the bed. "
Chapter 29 Alpha Kai My heart seems frozen as I curve her soft lips in mine, and waves of sparks surge through my body. I can't remember the last time I kissed any woman, and doing it now makes me feel so excited. Although I have been involved with many women, but I went as far as setting my boundary not to ever kiss any of them. The way she kissed me tells me that it may be her first time, or she's not just good at this, but I will take charge of it because what does being a pro mean if not doing things perfectly? My lower abdomen twitches excitedly, butterflies flying in my stomach, and I can feel my wolf wavers excitedly inside me. It feels as though we have found the right one, the one we have been avoiding all these years, but I quickly dismiss the thoughts. The door suddenly bursts open, and I quickly pull away from him, turning my head swiftly to find the most annoying being standing there like he'd just seen a ghost. "What the hell! Why didn't you knoc
Chapter 30 Ariel POV I cringe as the image of him kissing me pops up in my head again. It has been hours, but it feels as if it's just happening. What the hell was I even thinking? He is a playboy that I have caught with more than two different women on different occasions, so how the hell could I have been so stupid to have allowed him to kiss me? It's a good thing that I'm sick, and he already gave me permission to take the day off and resume work tomorrow. I don't even know how I'm going to stay around him later after what happened. I may end up losing my breath. Pushing all the thoughts to the back of my mind, I stand up from the bed and stride out of the room, ready to go pick the kids from school. As I walk down the verandah a few minutes later, I stop on my track when I spot Amelie walking in the other corridor, and I need no one to tell me that she's heading to Max's room. 'You have no right to stalk me. Stop thinking of yourself as a part of my family
Chapter 31 Ariel POV I sigh briefly when she's done narrating her story of seeing another woman in Max's room when she went there to see him. I warned her about this all along, but she never wanted to listen to me, which got her to where she is today, but sadly, I can't tell her now, because it'll only hurt her more. "I'm sorry about that..." "I don't think he's having an affair with the lady. He wasn't in the room with her. Don't you think she's someone that has a crush on him, and maybe came to see him? He is not seeing another woman, is he?" She whines as she holds my hands, and I sigh briefly. How the hell am I supposed to know that? And wait a minute! Why's she getting all worked up, when they are not even dating? Are they dating already? "Just calm down, Amelie. Maybe you should talk to Max yourself, and see what he has to say about this," I say to her, but she shakes her head as she steps away from me, and I squint my eyes in confusion. "Why?" I can't st
