“It’s okay, Leo. Do you think he will be okay?” I don’t even know why I am asking but I feel the need to.
“He will. The witch seems enthusiastic, I don’t know why?” Leo lets out a low chuckle and I turn around to look at him.
“I hope so I hand one cup to him and he grabs it with both hands.
“Did you talk to your dad?”
“Yes, he hasn’t given me the answer yet”
“Good” With that, he takes his dad’s coffee and exits the kitchen. I follow Leo with my eyes and sigh when he disappears. I can’t go to bed right now, I need to wait for my dad and also see if my mate will recover or show any sign of change.
I don’t know when I fell asleep on the sofa. It’s already dawn and no one is around me when I wake up. Though Leo’s scent is still present meaning he left a while ago. Before I can get up to check on my son, the front door opens and my disheveled dad slowly walks in.
His hair is messy and he has dark circles around his tired eyes
“Dad, what is wrong? You have been acting weird since you saw that woman and you look beat” I worriedly stare at him and my dad quickly snaps his gaze at me as if he didn’t expect anyone to be in here.
“It’s nothing dear” Dad brushes me off but I don’t listen to him.
“Just tell me. You seem on edge. And you didn’t come back last night. Do you know that woman from before?” I walk to him and gently gaze into his eyes.
“No, it’s…She is my second chance” He reluctantly answers, worriedly scratching the back of his neck and I gasp in shock. Second–chance mates are rare. They never happen, at least I haven’t heard of them before.
“What?” I mutter staring at my dad in shock.
“I don’t think I want another. With what Maya did, I would rather spend the rest of my life alone”
“I don’t know what to say, Dad. It’s unbelievable” I didn’t see this coming. Dad getting a second chance mate a few days after my mum’s demise. With how corrupt this world has become, I am not sure of what to think.
“Give it time, Dad. I am happy for you anyway” I gently sq***ze his shoulder and he reluctantly nods.
Walking to my room to finally see my son, a couple of mixed emotions hit me at once. Pain, anger, hurt and many more occupy my heart and I don’t have to guess whose emotions are.
This only means my mate’s wolf is coming back to life and he is the one triggering the matebond. I can vividly feel his emotions and none of them are good,
As much as I want to feel relieved, I can’t help but wonder whether these emotions are felt toward me or the dead bitch.
Maybe it was a relief when I didn’t know what he was feeling for another woman.

I blink my eyes open and groan at the intense headache. That is not the only thing I get to experience. My head is clear. It’s like I have been in a long dream or some weird trance, and that is when I remember what I have been through.
Shit.
I quickly sit up but tightly hold my head due to the pain the haste movement caused.
My mate.
I messed up again. The previous emptiness in my heart is replaced with pain and more pain. I remember how I ignored her and our son and treated them as if they didn’t matter. How I stupidly mourned a woman who wasn’t my mate in their presence.
I was rude to my dad and even the King. Also, I almost fought Leo for no reason, and more importantly, I hurt the one person who means the world to me.
“How are you feeling?” A soft voice sounds beside me and only then, do I realize I have another presence in the room. The unknown woman stretches her arm to touch my forehead but I grip it mid–air.
“Do not touch me” I angrily grit out. My wolf is upset. He is furious with me for failing to protect our mate and for allowing another woman to jeopardize my relationship with Ana.
“Woah, woah. Easy there tiger” Leo chuckles entering the room followed closely by Andrew. “The lady went through a lot to undo the spell Lily left on you, the least you can do is say thank you, brother” Leo lightly hits my shoulder and I let her hand go.
I need to see Ana. I need to explain everything to her. I can’t feel her right now and that only means she has blocked me out.
“How are you feeling, son?” I stare at Andrew and wonder what I should think about him calling me that. He has never addressed me that way and as much as I hate to admit, he has helped me a huge deal. I might be a mistake to him but he never stopped caring. So I don’t see the need to be rude to him. The least I can do is be grateful for his kindness.
“Well, apart from a shitty headache, I feel quite alright” I murmur pushing back the stubborn hair grazing my forehead.
“It will go away soon. It’s the aftermath of the previous spell. It was quite strong you know” The woman says and I nod getting up. I don’t even know where I should start, I can only hope my mate forgives me.
Taking slow steps toward the door, I brace myself for what is about to come. I’m anxious about the upcoming conversation, and I already feel dread when I meet Noah in the corridors and he doesn’t even spare me a glance. This will be the first time he ignored me since I got well–acquainted with him. It’s a bad sign.
I hurt his daughter and even though it wasn’t my intention, I should have done something. Maybe I should have fought the spell or just killed Lily when I had the chance. She went too far and if she was here, I would have made her pay for all the trouble.
I hesitate to open the door to our room when I smell the two scents that matter to me the most. My wolf lowly growls and I take deep inhales to calm my racing heart. My hand hovers on the door handle for just a second before I push it in.
My heart violently thumps in my ch*st when my eyes land on the two figures on the bed. Ana and our son are heavily sleeping. The two people are facing each other and Liam has his hand wr*pped around Ana’s neck. Ana is holding our son too and I wonder why I have to be the one to constantly hurt them. I should be there with them but instead, I am always caught up in one shitty situation or another.
