Chapter 85: Love's Deadly Game

Kia's POV.

Why would she of all places live with Garvin? From everything I've gathered so far, she is doing relatively well to afford a comfortable appartmeny of her own. Was see really in a relationship with Garvin? And if so why have she not bothered rejecting our mate bond or was she waiting for the right occasion to do it?

"So sir, do you still want to go there?" 

"Yes ,yes take me there."

"Should I call for backup?"

"And why is that?"

"Just in case sir."

"In case of what, use your words Kyle." I snapped, not in the mood for suspense.

"Just in case they get aggressive."

"But we aren't going with a war proposal are we"

"So that means no backup?"

"Definitely no backup." I insisted.

"Plus we wouldn't be going in, we are just going to spy for a bit".

"Okay Master Kia"

Locating Garvin's mansion wasn't much of a problem as he had taken the needed time to make sure his castle was indeed "Alpha worthy", making mine look like a mere doll house. 

"Kyle, make a mental note and remind me to contact the latest constructor, the house back home is due for renovation".

"Okay sir" 

"Should I park opposite the area?"

"Yes! We can see the part of the compound from here anyways, so yes here is perfect." 

Our car sat right across the Hitch mansion. Watching the guards perform their usual routines. I noticed a particular guard was beginning to suspect our car as he constantly circled where we were parked.

"Sir, Do you see it? Kyle called, completely startling me.

"See what?" He startled an almost drowsy me.

"The little boy, he said pointing in the distance.

"Huh, a little boy?" 

"Yes!"

"But the blog posts did not make mention of Alexia having a child "

"Exactly Master."

I stared intently at the house he played around the compound, he seemed to be quite friendly with the guards as they all took turns carrying him and doing him round, causing him to giggle uncontrollably.

"Sir look, his hair is similar to yours.", Kyle pointed out as we both watched the little boy from a distance.

And he wasn't wrong, the child's Chestnut wavy hair looked silky soft, the rays from sunset casting a golden-brown glow on his hair.

"Kyle, sit here and wait for me"

"Where are you going sir?"

"Inside the house?"

"Without any form of security?"

"Are you doubting me Kyle?"

"Not at all sir."

Not sparing him another glance, I stepped out of the car and ambled towards the front gate.

"I am Alpha Kia of blackblood pack and I came to pay Alpha Garvin a visit"

"I am afraid we can not let you in," 

"Do you really want to know what happens when you go against Alpha Kia? I mean no harm but I don't quite find it pleaseing to pack opposite like I was trying to lay ambush or sum'n. So I chose to come in. Just me, no guards whatsoever." I stated, more like pleaded.

"Come in." The finally relented.

The compound seemed a lot more magnificent From the inside. The perfect green carpet field. The mini golf course. The blemish free white walls. The towers. Everything gave off a vibe of wealth and luxury.

"You can't go further than this sir", the rushed towards me, signaling that other parts of the compound were off limits.

Fine. I took the chair from them, grumbling as I took my seat. Surely it was definitely unlike me to be in a place where I wasn't feared and respected. I am Alpha Kia, but I now take orders from security guards.

I cursed Inwardly grimacing at how sour things had turned for me in just a few years. i sat there,vmy thoughts threatening to drown me, when the figure walked past me. The reason why I had bothered steeping into this place. Kyle was indeed right, his hair was indeed identical to mine.  His warn caramel eyes, welcoming and inviting.

"excuse me little boy, excuse me."

 He turned to me.

I am looking for your dad." I completed.

You Know him?' his lips curving into a beautiful smile.

"Huh?"

"Momma never let's me talk about him. So tell me what's he like?"

"Does he want to come want to come and be a happy family." he probed further

"Hold up, who's your Mom", I enquired unable to understand what was going on.

"Her name is alexia Murphy and she gets upset each time I mention wanting to meet my dad. But uncle Garvin tells said he'll help me find my dad" he said, his shoulders dropped slightly as he explained the predicament the young child was in.

"So uncle sir, what is your name" the child stared at me.

"Kia."

"Kia? Uncle Kia? It sounds very close to-

"Will you get in side this instant" Alexia roared, startling us both.

"I'm sorry momma..."

"And how many times do I have to warn you against talking to stranger's?" Alexia thundered, causing the little boy to trip a few times as he was about to scurry out of sight.

"Uncle Kia isn't a stranger momma, he came with a gift..."

"He is."

I rose to my feet as she walked to where I was, each of her struts commanding power. 

"What part of I do not want to see your face do you not understand?" Alexia blew hot once the child was out of sight and hearing range.

"Alexia you can't push me away without giving me a reason why you ran away in the first place."

"Ohh I very much can."

Why are you doing this Alexia? Why

"Doing what Kia?"

"Trying your best to avoid me. We are mates and you cannot deny it. And that boy," I said pointing in the direction the kid just ran into. " Is he mine?"

A slap landed on my cheek before I could finish my sentence. You knew about the bind huh? Yet you let Amanda punish me for doing nothing!

"This child isn't yours and please don't get your hopes up if that is the reason why you're hear. "

"Now leave!" She commanded, shutting her Gates from the inside 

"If he wasn't mine then whose child was he?," I yelled back, unable to control the surge of emotions that rushed towards me.
