"I broke up with him," I blurt out all of a sudden, without thinking too much about it. Jae raises his eyebrows with surprise. "I think you’re right, Klein is not trustworthy, at least not trustworthy enough to have him in the same house with my son."Jae nods at that, closing his eyes for a second with relief. Then he smiles."This means nothing for us, okay?" I warn, narrowing my eyes at him and trying not to feel anything when he keeps smiling devilishly. God, now I remember why I refused to look at his face for so many years, I knew I would melt way too fast. Jae is still dangerously handsome… like, it’s almost diabolical how handsome he is. And not only that, but now I feel like his eyes are alive and mine. I feel like my mate is in there, calling me like a damn siren.My Alpha. God, I fucking miss him. "But you're not going to let anyone else mark you, right?" Jae asks with a pointed look, snapping me off my thoughts. I roll my eyes and shake my head. "Perfect. In that case,
"I think I should wake him up soon, he never even ate breakfast," I mumble with a sigh and start caressing Tate’s forehead softly, "We have to be a united front.""Of course. But... what happened in there wasn't normal, Anya. He was rage fueled and then he cried so hard he stopped breathing for a couple of seconds until I put him back under the water. Has that ever happened before?"I sigh."Only once, but it was for such a dumb reason. He had this old as hell bunny that was basically disintegrating and one day I decided to throw it away. When he realized, he got like that, he cried so hard he stopped breathing and that's when I discovered the shower trick," I admit, Jae grimaces as if he’s worried. I know it's the bare minimum, but seeing he cares so much about Tate is making me feel stuff I shouldn't, "His doctor said it's not a huge issue, but he should start therapy soon. He might have anger issues and we need to know why. I mean, I know we're divorced and that's hard for a kid, b
My poor attempt at seduction leads me to drive through the pack naked, but it doesn't matter because once I arrive to my house, I let my wolf out so he can run free and kill the negative energy he feels.I have no idea how much time passed, but by the time I get back home after that run, the sun is starting to set. And no, I don't feel better.I mean, I do have one less weight on my shoulders after spending a nice moment with Anya and making sure she won't do anything stupid like letting Klein mark her, but... nothing has changed, she still doesn't want me.And now my son hates me.This feels horrible, it’s a new kind of pain I never expected to feel. My son should always see me as a hero, not as the villain of the story... even if I am.I enter my house reluctantly and throw myself on the couch to look up at the ceiling and contemplate how fucked I am. And how I probably deserve everything that's happening to me. Karma is definitely real, and I'm definitely living it.At least Klei
"I know there's still a long way to go before you forgive me, but I'm willing to go through it," I let him know, daring to hold his little hand in mine. He gives me a cold look, "I love you, Tate. And... I love your mom, too. A lot. I'll do everything possible to get her to forgive me too, and then… maybe… I can make us all be together."That’s a BIG maybe. Tate furrows his brow and looks at me as if he's considering that, but he doesn't say anything for a long time."Would you like that?" I push, squeezing his hand, "Us, being a family?""I don't know yet. I wouldn't want to put my mom in danger," he murmurs, looking away from me again. I take a deep breath to try to hide how much that hurt, to know he thinks Anya is in danger with me… just like everyone did when we were together, "Drive me home, Jae. I need to think about my answer.""Okay," I murmur with a sigh and start the car to take him to Anya's house. As soon as my car stops, the door opens and Anya comes out of the house as
Throughout the week Jae stays away from us and, very stupidly, I feel a bit disappointed by the radio silence, but I continue with my life. I go to the hospital in the morning, do my volunteer work, pick up Tate from school, cook for us, and then I spend the rest of the afternoon with my baby, doing his homework, visiting our family, or just doing nothing. It's a good life… so, I don't need any man, just my son, my uncle and my best friend, Remy. They are all I need.I'm thinking about this when my phone starts ringing and I see Jae's name there. My heart does somersaults, and I freeze with nerves for a few seconds before clearing my throat and answering.It takes everything within me not to ask him why the hell he hadn't called me all week, but then I remind myself that I was the one who told him we should keep our distance, so I can't complain."Hello, An," he says with that sweet voice he uses with me ever since he found out I'm his fated mate. I close my eyes, and since I'm all al
"Mom? Are you okay?" Tate asks, snapping me out of my thoughts so harshly I gasp."Huh?""You're not eating," he says, pointing at my full plate of breakfast, "You need to eat.""Oh, right. I was just thinking," I mumble and grab my fork to force some eggs down my throat under Tate's eyes. They don't leave me."More," he orders, making me laugh a little. I always find it funny when he forgets HE is the kid here, not me, "The fruit, too.""Fine, I'm eating. Jeez," I laugh. He already ate everything on his plate, so he really just watches over me for another five minutes, making sure I finish everything. Sometimes I get really scared about the future. If he's so intimidating now, I can't even imagine how he's going to be when he grows up. It really helps that he has a pretty face, but if he were ugly, he would be called a demon child. I swear he has some dark demon-lord soul or something.But, like I said, he's really damn cute. And he's not scary all the time, he's also very innocent
Just three minutes later, Anya starts walking down the stairs. She's wearing a short skirt and a long-sleeved blouse with her long hair straighter than usual, flying over her shoulders, down to her waist. "Sorry if I made you wait too long... I'm ready," she says, reaching the bottom of the stairs and finally looking up at me. Her face takes all the air out of me and I feel weak for a second, "Hi.""Hey, An," I let out, doing my best to behave and not let on that I'm remembering every dirty sound that came out of those red lips last night, when I made her come for me on the phone. Holy hell, it was so damn delicious and satisfying to her her whiny, horny voice once again. The only thing that would have made it better would’ve been if I could see her and not just hear her, although… in a way, it was pretty delicious like that, too. A new experience for me, too. I’d never had phone sex before.Anyway, I just want to take her in my arms and make her moan my name just like she did last
I know Anya wants this kiss as much as me because her eyes drop to my lips and her pink tongue comes out to lick her bottom lip, making me feel as if a hot liquid is running down my stomach. This woman makes me feel so many things I didn't think were possible. And the truth is that I really just want an innocent kiss.That's all I want right now. Just to put my lips on hers and breathe her in close, feel her warmth and feel her close to me."Just one," she finally agrees, lifting her face a little more towards me. The old me would grab her by the hair, devour her mouth forcefully and take advantage of the power I have over her. And the knowledge I have on her. I would touch her, try to get her horny side to come out. I would put my hand down her panties to find her clit and I know she would be done for. She would let me have her right here, my horny little Anya.But the new me is aware that our son is outside, waiting for us. Plus, I really want to show Anya that I have the ability
