Chapter 10

Kai’s POV

“I will get it. I’ll try my best.” Liam assures after the minutes of silence. 

I peep at them. Her face seems a bit relaxed now and she slaps his arms in a gesture of  ‘no worries.’ 

“Where’s your best friend?” 

“Elion?” He replies sharply and I drop back to the wall of the corner I’m hiding at. Elion is really his bestfriend, even this girl confirms it. Before I used to think he’s his boyfriend. 

One man down! One woman to go!

I need to know who this woman is to him. Maybe I know but I’m eager to confirm. 

“Greet him for me.” I hear her say. Seems like she’s about to go. I arrange myself, ready to follow them if need be. 

Liam smiles, nods……whatever he does and both parts. He’s coming towards my direction. I take up a tiptoe run to the other corner, waiting until he passes by then I slowly take another gulp of water. I breathe out. 

Seeing him walk a considerable distance, I walk out, determined to follow after him to his office. Let it be, I just came as a coincidence. Liam is about five meters from me and the way he’s rushing back to work, he won’t ever check back. I follow after him confidently. 

Before I know, he spins around. “Heyy.” He shouts across to the girl at the rear. My eyes follow back from the girl to him and I freeze. 

Goddess have mercy! 

Seeing he flags the girl off and slowly strides towards me with furrowed eyes. “What do you want here?” He asks, voice harsh with anger. I’m confused. Angry, I'm stalking him? I'm just naturally curious. I try to defend myself within myself. 

“What are you doing here?” 

It’s here I pick up my morale, putting up a frown. “Wasn’t this hospital built by my dad? Am I not the Alpha’s son? Besides this is a public place. Does that question really make sense to you?” 

Liam stands still, assessing my words, trying to believe it’s coincidence but soon picks up his suspicions. 

“You’re stalking me!” He accused. 

“You’re queerbaiting? Claiming you’re gay but going after a girl to beg?” 

“Come on…” he steps forward, fury doubling. “What makes you say, Alpha? Have I queerbaited you? Are we in a relationship? Why does it even bother you?” 

I nod, slowly, looking away. 

He rushes up again, this time barely a few inches away and whispers in a low, cold tone. “Even if that girl and I should have something doing and I still come out to claim being gay, what’s your business…..Urgh?” 

“What’s my business?” My eyes rolled round in confusion. 

“Yes, of course.” 

“Don’t you have a conscience? What if those guys you flirt with begin to have interest in you?” I ask. 

“How’s that your business? Are you one of them? No…..you aren’t a gay so mind your business and stop meddling.” He shuts me off right away and I stay rigid, gawking at him, not knowing what to say. 

“Listen, let me tell you.” He points his fist at me. I stumble back in shock. Someone pointing his fist on me, the young Alpha of the Pack without fear. I look around to check if people are watching. Luckily, everyone is just busy. This is a hospital environment. 

“If it’s because I’m handling your case and you want to push me into trouble with your dad, I'll withdraw and transfer it to another doctor.”

My heart ceases. 

He storms off. 

What in the entire world? When I need him most? 

The thing is I can’t even tell what his problem is. Could he be angry at the fact my dad came over to meet him at the penthouse, the questions and Cerise suspicions? 

Or that I discovered his true nature, a closeted bi, assumingly, who’s out there parading as a gay? 

Or the threats from last time still haunts him? 

Whatever it is, I’ve got a big, important document to give to him to sign. I can’t back out now. I will go after him. 

He goes off sight but his words continue to bounce in and out of my mind, each time sounding so real as if it’s happening now. I pull out the series of papers from my bag, going through it. His name and his are on it.

What I intended on giving him to sign. 

“What do I do now?” I stamp my foot, going to and fro, not minding whether anyone is recording at this point. 

“Hey, hey. What’s going on?” I hear the voice and I turn to see it’s Elion, his words begin with a sharp smile but they do not reach into his eyes. More of a formality for someone whom his senior colleague has been crushing on. 

“What’s going on here?” I pounce angrily. 

He flags his palms down, calling for me to cool. I reluctantly do and he smiles again. My eyes turn red. “What’s it with the smile…….when I’m clearly annoyed.” The clause of the statement shoots out while the second finishes inside of me. 

“He’s just as angry as you, which is why I sometimes feel you both are soulmates and twin flames. 

I sigh, attempting to walk pass but he grips my wrist. “I’m not done yet.” 

“What?” I unexpectedly say.

“Suppose Dr. Liam treats you rudely, just overlook it. He’s not been himself lately.” 

My eyes flare in curious surprise. “Why? What’s wrong with him?” 

What I need is really coming to me. I squirm inside of me.

“He’s……he’s…...” 

Phone rings and I look, it’s dad. Elian’s phone rings right after too and he rushes over to the side, speaking in low tones that I couldn’t get. So I pick dad’s call. 

“Hey son, where are you now?” 

Bursts of thunder crash over my head as this comes out, low, steady and stern.
