Alpha Caspian Chapter 32
Caspian:I had my arms crossed over my chest as I watched the pack members from the balcony of my office.Everyone was tending to their things, responsibilities, and whatever details they needed to be taking care of. The maids inside were already preparing lunch by this time. The smell of fresh vegetables being chopped filled my nostrils, but my mind was elsewhere when it came to all these details that surrounded me.My mind went to what Valerie had told me.Her anger.Her hate.I didn’t blame her for it, though. I tried to, but I couldn’t.I looked around for a moment, searching, for him…Adrian.He was playing near the fountain, his little legs carrying him across the trimmed grass as he chased after a butterfly. His laughter echoed in the air, pure and uninhibited. It was as if this was the most natural thing that could happen for a child. And I couldn’t help but find myself comparing him to Daniel. The son that I raised within my pack.He was a year older than Adrian when I found

Valerie:I watched from the front porch as Adrian played with his father, my eyes softening when I heard his laughter around, making something in me relax despite the ongoing raging war that I felt brewing inside me.Caspian knelt beside him, adjusting the wooden blocks Adrian had been stacking. His usual cold demeanor had softened, even if only slightly. It wasn’t forced, nor was it for show. He was trying. He was genuinely doing it.But I knew better than to believe this was out of the goodness of his heart. Caspian didn’t do anything without reason. He was a man of control, of strategy. If he was here, it was because he chose to be. I knew better than to be naïve to believe that he was being the father that he was.Still, Adrian’s smile was genuine, his joy unmistakable. And I could tell that this was something that gave him a sense of ease, an instinct to soften to his father. He was his little pup after all, I wouldn’t have had it any other way, and I knew that if things had turn

Caspian:The walk back to the villa was quiet, the evening breeze carrying the scent of pine and fresh earth. It was one of those scents that I found myself enjoying. It was one that I knew was both comforting and assuring, and I knew that it was one of the few normal things that I had in this world that I lived in.There was more for us to be dealing with throughout the day and throughout our lives, but there was also the fact that I knew that this, in my head, was one of the best that I’ve been dealing with for a long time.Adrian held my hand as he hummed softly, kicking at small pebbles along the path. His small fingers gripped mine with a sense of ease that unsettled me, not because I didn’t want it, but because I never expected it. It was because I never experienced it in the first place.There was a feeling between the two of us, a bond, one that I did not understand, but it was also one that I knew that I never felt before. It was one that I knew I might never be feeling at al

Valerie:The villa was quiet. The only sounds were the occasional rustling of the trees outside and the soft ticking of the clock in the living room. Adrian had long since gone to bed, curled up under his blankets with the peace only a child could have after a day well spent.It was something that I didn’t object to. It was something that I was thankful for. It was something that was good for him. He was with his father, and that was something that I was happy about.I stood in the kitchen, rinsing the last of the dishes, the warmth of the water grounding me. I wasn’t sure why I let Caspian stay, why I allowed him to sit at our table, to share a meal with us like he had always belonged there.But I had.It was something that I had to do for my son. It was something that I wanted to give to him after everything that was lost in his life. He was never around him, for me to deny him what he needed.And what unsettled me most was that it hadn’t felt forced.A part of me expected him to le

Caspian:I walked inside the house knowing that the day was not going to end as good as it began.Daniel was nowhere to be seen, though I knew that he would be in his bedroom. It was far too late for him to be awake anyway. And if he was, I knew that it would mean that he was in trouble, but I also knew that he would not want to put himself in a situation like that. Especially knowing that he was still punished.I crossed my arms over my chest and the silence of the house, it was so different and the warmth that was in Valerie's house was one that I could not feel here. That was a home, however this was a house, a place where you lived in, however it was not a place that you belonged in.It wasn't until my eyes landed on Eva that I frowned as I saw how curled up she was on the couch, a blanket over her. A few napkins were laid out here and there, and her eyes were puffy and red.“Why are you still awake, Eva?”“You are there with her, weren't you? Rather than coming home, rather than

Valerie:The sun was yet to rise when I woke up.But I did not really mind. I liked being an early riser. At least it meant that I could get a few things done before Adrian woke up. And I also knew that there was a lot for me to do, for him to be able to settle here.I still needed to look for a school for him and I still did not know anything about any schools here as freshly after being away from here for a very long time if I was going to be able to take care of him, and if I was going to be able to let him settle here, and if I was going to be able to work, then he was going to need to be able to go to school. Leaving him at the pack when I went to work was not an option for me.And I did not even know how I was going to start with anything with everything that was going on here.I got up from my bed and ran my fingers over my face as I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. I walked towards the bathroom and freshened up. A warm shower was needed. That was something that I was going to

Caspian:“Need I ask where you're going?” I asked, looking at Valerie as she held Adrian's hand.“I doubt that I need to ask you for permission to go out with my son. Or is that a new rule that I do not know?” She asked, raising an amused eyebrow at me.I looked at Adrian for a moment, debating on how I was going to answer her. I did not know how I was going to explain to her that this was not something that she can just easily do. She was now part of the pack. But not only her, it was also Adrian who mattered to me at this point. His safety was my main concern. Whatever it was that she wanted to do did not concern me as long as it did not affect my son.“Adrian son, go and play around there.” Valerie said, putting her hand on Adrian's back. He looked at her for a moment before nodding as he took a step back. The two of us watched as he walked towards one of the oak trees, playing around with a Pebble, and she shook her head in question as she turned her attention to me.“What is it th

Valerie:I debated for a moment on whether or not to give Caspian what he wanted. Whether or not to push myself to my limit because of him.But I knew this, if I was to do that, I was going to end up ruining my peace and my son’s. And Adrian did not deserve that.Adrian deserved the peace that he had. If I chose to allow us to be living here, it was not because of Caspian, it was because I wanted Adrian to have a life with his father. All of this was done for my son. For me to turn it into a toxic environment for him not to be able to live in the peace that I wanted for him was not going to be a good option, was not going to be an option that I was going to consider in the first place.“Are you okay, Mama?” Adrian asked, noticing that I was quiet.“Yes, baby Mama is okay. I'm just thinking.” I said as the two of us walked inside one of the schools that I chose to look into. This was the third school that we entered, but I knew that the first two were not suitable for him. They were no

Valerie:I had been doing my best to avoid Caspian since Eva left.This was the best option that I could actually think of.It wasn’t difficult.Not until he made it difficult.But still I managed to avoid him enough and not speak to him since she had left.The pack was large, and I knew its boundaries well enough to keep my distance. If I felt him coming, I walked the other way. If he entered a room, I left before he could say a word. And if he was speaking to Adrian, I made sure to keep one of the maids with him while I went to do something else.It wasn’t just avoidance.It was a refusal.A refusal to acknowledge him, to speak to him, to deal with him after everything.The man had accused me of something that he knew was far too vile.He had accused me of something I hadn’t done. He had thrown his weight around like always, forcing his decisions onto me. And now? Now that Eva was gone, he thought everything could go back to normal. He thought the things were going to just go forgot
Alpha Caspian Chapter 67
Caspian:Eva stood at the entrance of the pack house, her suitcases packed and lined up neatly beside her. Daniel clung to her hand, his small face confused, unaware of the weight of the moment.The last thing that I would have wanted was for him to be dealing with something like this. However, I knew this. I could not cope with what his mother had done. If something had happened to him or Adrian, then me forgiving her was not going to be something that I did. I was going to have her head. And I knew that if she started this way, then things were going to go harder, she was going to go deeper into whatever mess she was trying to play.I stood a few feet away, arms crossed over my chest, my expression cold, unyielding.Eva’s eyes were red-rimmed, but I didn’t care.This was a consequence of her actions.This was a consequence to the line that you had crossed more times than one. After I gave her once, twice and a million times, but right now I couldn't forgive her. For this, I couldn't
Alpha Caspian Chapter 66
Valerie:It has been a while since Caspian left the office, leaving me alone with my thoughts, leaving me to think about how things went the way that they did.I paced around the office, not knowing what else that I could do. Men guarded the door and the windows as if I would jump out the window or as if I would have run away from the office. If I want to turn away, then I would not need them to be guarding the door. They could be standing right in front of me and I would slip out without them noticing.Truth be told, the villa burning down was not something that I cared about. The whole pack had burned down and I wouldn't care less as long as no one was harmed. However, it was the fact that the villa was on fire and we could have been inside of it. Adrian could have been inside. That idea alone was one that I did not want to think about. Him getting harmed or something happening to him was something that I did not want to put in my mind.I didn't need to think twice to know who would
Alpha Caspian Chapter 65
Eva:I heard him before he entered the room. I heard him before he approached. It was as if something was waiting for me, something that I was not going to like.I turned to the nurses who were inside the room before nodding at them to leave, leaving us alone. They looked at me, studying my expression for a moment, but I nodded at them. I did not want them being here when I was with my husband. I wanted my privacy with him.However, his footsteps got louder and when they did, I could tell that something was not going the way that I wanted it to. Each step carried a warning, a promise of the storm that was about to hit.“No one is to enter this room until I leave.” I heard him speaking to the nurses outside. My breath hitched, but I did not move.I remained seated beside Daniel’s bed, running my fingers lightly over his soft curls, pretending I hadn’t heard him approaching. But I had.And I knew he was coming for me. I was no fool. I knew when I was getting in more trouble than I could
Alpha Caspian Chapter 64
Caspian:“Where is Adrian?” I asked, looking at Mateo who looked away from me.“He is safe. He's asking about his mother, but otherwise he's okay. The way that we brought her over is not one that he could just easily let go of or ignore.” Mateo said calmly. I knew that this was not something that he liked. “Are you sure that you would be doing this, Caspian of all people? Are you sure that Valerie is the person that would be doing this?”“The Valerie that I once knew in the past is not this one. The woman standing in front of me, the woman that is living in this villa, is not the woman that I knew.” I said, looking him in the eye, noticing that his expression had hardened. He did not say a word and the two of us just kept walking, heading towards the villa.The remnants of the fire still smoldered in the back of my mind as I walked through the charred remains of the villa. The air was thick with the acrid scent of burnt wood and ash, a grim reminder of how close this had come to being
Alpha Caspian Chapter 63
Eva:The soft hum of the machines filled the quiet hospital room, broken only by the rhythmic beeping of the monitors beside Daniel’s bed. The sterile scent of antiseptic clung to the air, but none of it mattered to me.All I could see was my son, lying there, fragile and helpless.My hands trembled slightly as I reached out, brushing his soft, dark curls from his forehead. His skin was still slightly warm, a reminder of how close he had been to the flames.How close he had been to dying.And all because of her.She was the one who was supposed to be in that villa. She was the one who was supposed to burn inside. If she did, I would have been done with her, I would have finished off with her. It would have been a sleek death that no one would have suspected.The rage simmered beneath my skin, tightly controlled but still present. I clenched my fists against the armrest of the chair, forcing myself to breathe evenly. Caspian could investigate all he wanted. He could hesitate, doubt all
Alpha Caspian Chapter 62
Valerie:“Mama, are we going back to the pack?” Adrian asked, making my eyes soften as the two of us got up from our table.It was precious moments like this that I found myself wondering why I chose to agree to go to the pack. Yes, I knew that I had no other option, but I wished that I did. I wouldn’t have been too busy arguing and fighting. Everything that I kept him and myself from was just colliding over and hitting me like a brick wall.“Yes, baby. We need to go back to the pack. You know that we can’t be late. Alpha Caspian would be wondering where you are too.” I said, making him smile.“Are all Alphas like Alpha Caspian?” He asked, looking up at me.His innocent eyes told me that he was unaware of the conflicts going on around him. He was happy to know that he had a place, a pack, and a family like Elias’s to play with and enjoy. He was going to grow older, and I knew that this, despite me not liking it now, was going to come in his benefit. It was going to be something that he
Alpha Caspian Chapter 61
Caspian:The sun was beginning its descent, casting long shadows over the estate as I walked through the pack grounds. I had just finished a meeting with Mateo and a few other pack members about security measures when a sharp scent invaded my senses, smoke.Fire…The word alone was one that was enough to trigger me, to make me stand, to make me try and understand where that thing came from, where those flames were coming from. And even as I tried to think straight, I couldn't bring myself to do so.My wolf snapped to attention, a growl rumbling in my chest. I turned toward the direction of the scent, my instincts pulling me toward the villa where Valerie and Adrian stayed. Panic clamped down on my heart like a vice.No.A rush of footsteps came from behind me, and Mateo appeared, his eyes wide with alarm. “Alpha, there is fire and it is in the villa.”I closed my eyes for a moment today. I tried to think straight, calming myself down as I did my best not to think of the worst of outcom
Alpha Caspian Chapter 60
Valerie:I wrapped my arm around myself as I stared into space in the kitchen, not knowing how I was going to be dealing with things.A small part of me wanted to agree to her deal. A small part of me wanted to say yes and to leave, but I knew better than to do so.This was Eva that I was talking about.The woman was not going to want to do anything that was good for me. If anything, she was going to put me through harm's way. Me and my son. That was not something that I was going to allow.“Mama, is everything alright?” Adrian asked, noticing that I was quiet.The maids who had entered the kitchen with him were frozen at the sight of me, and I noticed then that I was gripping the sink far too hard for it to be normal. My knuckles had already turned white. I unclenched my fist and turned to look at him as a small smile formed on my lips before getting down on my knees in front of him.My heart raced against my rib cage and I shook my head as I tried to calm myself down, taking a deep
