“I am going to cast a spell and we will teleport to Alpha Edwards house” He holds my hand and I nod thinking it’s cool. And here I thought we would be walking there.
“Okay, I am ready” I eagerly whisper, and he chuckles at my impatient face. If I were born a witch, I would be untouchable.
Minutes or seconds later, we appear in our living room. It was just a blur and I didn’t get time to enjoy the ride. It’s been long since I was here and I can’t help but feel nostalgic. This house was once a happy home. There was always laughter and happy chatters before everything crumpled and it’s still crumbling. It only took one wrong move and the once-happy family is no more.
“Take your time,” Kyle says easing himself onto one of the couches and I nod trudging toward the stairs. My sense of smell is back, so I follow the only scents in the house and they lead me to the master bedroom.
At eight in the morning, Alpha Edward and my son are still in bed. The window curtains are drawn so there is enough light in the room to spot the two figures on the bed. I quickly rush over in relief when I lay my eyes on my son.
He is fine. My baby will be the strongest child I will ever know. I slowly lie beside him and run my fi**gers through his hair as I frequently k**s his head. I missed him so much.
“Ana?” Alpha groggily whispers, opening his eyes and he frantically looks around before glancing back at
“Did I wake you?” I whisper back and he shakes his head sitting up and pulls the covers down his waist. “No honey, It’s late morning anyway. Where is Jace?” He eagerly asks. Staring into his sad eyes, I feel pity because he doesn’t deserve this.
“That is why I am here, Dad. He thinks you are mad at him and he keeps blaming himself for hurting you. He hasn’t left the bed since you left, and It’s making me worried” Dad sighs and holds his cheek looking deep in thought.
“I have known that for a while. When I found out what my mate had been doing behind my back, I started investigating her, and I found so much dirt including the fact that the son I have loved so much all my life, wasn’t mine”
“He is my pride, Ana. He always was. Every time I see him I feel content in my heart. He is a good boy, and Goddess knows what he means to me. We have come too far and I don’t understand why I have to be
the one on the losing end” His voice breaks and when I see a tear drop from his left eye, I quickly move to his side and embrace him.
“First, it was you dear. But even though you left, you were mated to my son and I still had you as my daughter. But now that son isn’t mine anymore, this baby isn’t my grandchild anymore and you are not my little girl anymore. Tell me what I should do Ana. Why am I being punished and for what mistake? Dad looks at me and I hastily wipe away his tears. I don’t know what to tell him that will ease his pain. He is a good man and doesn’t deserve these tears.
“That’s not true Dad. We love you just as much. We have no control over what happens in our lives but some things will never change. You brought me up as your daughter and the love and care you gave me, will never be erased in my heart. The love I have for you doesn’t compare to what I feel for Noah because I have loved you for a long time”
“The reason why Jace is distressed is because he feels guilty you are hurting. He doesn’t wish to replace you because you are the best dad he ever had. He is staying in that bed because he fears if he wakes up, he will face the reality of you hating him. Jace deeply loves you. Liam is comfortable around you because he loves you. Please, stop stressing over things we can’t control, and let’s just be happy together I coo k**sing his cheek. Blood relations don’t matter. What matters is that we have always been here for each other for so long.
The man has looks and since wolves age slower, he will still find love out there if he wants. The same goes for Noah. Just because our partners are undeserving doesn’t mean we have to punish ourselves all our lives.
“We need to get out of here. The queen’s entourage just entered the pack” Kyle barges into the room startling us.
“What happened? Why is she here?” I get up and quickly pick up my son. There is no way I am living him for her.
“Maybe she is becoming suspicious. I told you it would only worsen” Dad rushes to the closet and within minutes, he comes out with another duffel bag.
“This is Liam’s stuff. Keep yourselves safe”
Heavy thuds on the ground from outside reach our ears and when the front doors forcefully open, Kyle grabs our hands and chants the same words from earlier.
(Jace)
I open my eyes as their presence fades from the house. I know I am being a dick to Ana but I feel like a total failure. My biological father is the reason her dad is in the state he is in right now and to make matters worse, I am hurting the man that has dedicated his life to me since I can remember.
I throw the covers away and get out of the bed. My wolf is back and I know just what to do. I have to make everything okay.
Just because my mother was a bitch and my father is a damn traitor, doesn’t mean I can’t do anything right. No matter what happens, I have to rescue the guards that are being tortured for no reason.
I don’t understand why people are so bent on provoking the Goddess. Unlike in the past, nowadays no one takes the mate bond seriously. Wolves are forgetting the magic of having that one special half of you. Instead, everything in today’s world is greed for power without minding who gets hurt.
“You shouldn’t have brought me here. I am the Alpha and my absence will raise eyebrows” I hear Dad’s voice in the next room, followed by their scents and I rush to them.
“And let you die? Do you think she came to play hide and seek, Alpha? Why do you think of all the packs in the kingdom she came here, she probably suspected something was wrong and you are the closest person to the people in this room” Kyle explains and I hurry to Ana. She is carrying my sleeping son in her arms and she appears shaken.
“What is going on, Dad are you okay?” I ask the restless man as I carefully pick Liam from his mother.
“No, son. That bitch is in our house” He says in exasperation, stressfully running his fi**gers in his hair.
f**k, Andrew said he won’t let her near my family. He can’t even put a leash on that bitch. What if Kyle was not here and she took my son? I need to meet him soon even though I don’t know how. We can’t use phones because they will be easily traced to our location.
“Are you, okay?” I hold my mate’s shoulders and she turns to me with teary eyes. I feel bad for pushing her away. I am hurting Ana and I hate it.
“I will lay him down, give him to me” She stretches her hands towards our son and I give him back. Ana silently walks away and I sigh facing Dad. We need to clear the air before we proceed with anything else.
“Dad..” I start and he silently faces me. Kyle excuses himself and I am thankful for the privacy ” I don’t know what to say, Dad, you know I love you, right?” I whisper hating the sadness in his eyes. If I were to choose, I would choose him a thousand and one times.
“I know, son. I was hoping you didn’t find out. That way, you would only recognise me as your father but it happened anyway” Father sadly chuckles and I raise my brows in confusion.
“You knew?” I whisper in disbelief.
“For a while now, yeah”
“It doesn’t mean a thing though, you are my father. The rest doesn’t matter. I am sorry you have to go through this, Dad” I don’t want to imagine my life after raising Liam for twenty years, and later learning he is not mine. The amount of pain I would have to endure would be out of this world. It’s been only months since I met the boy and yet, I love him with my all. What about twenty years from now?
“Yeah. Thank you” He whispers, but the hurt and pain in his eyes don’t falter. What was wrong with my mother? “Let’s discuss how we will end this madness for once. I want my peace of mind back” He pats my back walking towards the chairs and I sadly follow.
On a normal day, Dad would have hugged me or at least smiled at me or assured me it was going to be okay. This just makes me feel worse. Is he repelled by me? But I love him. My feelings haven’t changed since I had that conversation with Andrew.
