Kit’s POV Of all the moons he could have picked, he had picked the blood moon to seal our union, making locked away memories resurface. Even with my best efforts to try and block those memories, they still came flooding back to me like a tsunami. Trying my best to hold down the emotional state I was in at that moment, I forced a smile onto my face, making everyone that congratulated us not aware of what was truly going on inside of me. It wasn’t until we were back at the estate, and safely in my room did I left my emotions break free. It had been years since I had shed a tear for what could have been, but tonight they freely flowed from my eyes making up for the years that I hadn’t. As I looked into the mirror in my bathroom trying to calm myself, I told myself that I needed to move on from all of this. Trying to wipe the tears from my eyes, I told myself that I would be a fool to mess this up between Alpha Jace and mysel
Kit’s POV When morning came the next day, I made my way with Damian down to breakfast as we do every morning together, but as we made our way downstairs, everyone that we passed stopped in their tracks, lowering their heads to me as if I was royalty, as they said, “Good morning, Luna.” Which through me off guard that the news had spread so quickly among the pack.Plus, I was not used to this type of treatment from the staff at the house. I had always been treated kindly, but they had always seen me as a guest of the Alpha. Now I guess I was being considered the lady of the house, along as their luna of the pack, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable, if I was being honest.For the past seven years I had been keeping my head down, trying to keep a low profile, so that my family had no clue where I had run off to, but now there was no hope in trying to maintain that. I was sure that if the word traveled within the pack, it would soon travel back to my family of Alpha Ja
Kit’s POV Damian and I finished our breakfast just in time for Alpha Jace to reappear in the dining room, and when he looked at me, I could see the look of concern in his eyes, before he looks at Damian and says, “Hey buddy, why don’t you go outside and play on the swing set for a moment, while your mother and I have an adult conversation.” “Okay, daddy.” Damian said as he got up from his chair and took off outside just as Alpha Jace had asked him to do. Worry began to fill me at that moment why he needed to have an adult conversation with me without Damian being in the room, and I knew whatever Beta Gauge had told him had to concern me. Alpha Jace moved to his chair and took a seat, and I could see the look of frustration in his eyes now, which told me, whatever it was, it wasn’t good. Alpha Jace then reached for my hands taking them into his, as he looked into my eyes telling me, what he was about to say, was going to e
Kit’s POV Even after the news from my family, Alpha Jace kept his word of spending the day together to Damian, after I had washed my face and reapplied my makeup and pulled myself back together. But as I now stood in front of the lionesses’ enclosure, my eyes were glued on one particular mother and her cub. The mother seemed to be overprotective of the little cub, as the others tried to come near it, and I had to wonder why she was not allowing the others around it, since the rest were happily playing together. But as the little guy went to stand, I realized that he was hurt, and she was trying to keep him safe from the others. The little cub tried to move towards where the other cubs were playing, but the mother stopped him by the cuff of his neck pulling him back to her. It was clear that he just wanted to go and play with the other cubs, but because of his limp, she was trying to keep him safe from anyone further hurting him.
Kit’s POV It all made sense now why he had taken us in even when I had openly told him I was pregnant with Dom’s child, and why he had moved us directly into his home. Damian was the child of an Alpha and a Beta, and he was perfect to pull off as his own son, deceiving his pack to think he was his. I knew there was a reason that we had been treated so while by the staff and the other members of the pack, and I was sure that they all thought all these years that Damian was his. In a way, I couldn’t be mad at him, because he had given my son and I a place to live, hiding the real truth from everyone, just as I wanted it to be, but I never knew that he had his own agenda behind it too. “So, you want to adopt him, or do you want people to believe that he is yours.” I now ask him, wanting to know what he truly means by the word adopt. Alpha Jace looks around as if he is worried someone will hear us, before he turns back to me
Kit’s POVI never would have imagined that Beta Gauge would have this information for us so soon, and that I would have to make another important decision so quickly. My head was already spinning with what Alpha Jace had already proposed to me today, and now this turns out to be true about my father. “I know that a lot has been sprung on you today, but I truly believe in my heart that you need to go home and find peace in your heart with your father before he passes. Like I had offered earlier today, I will go with you for your protection, and your family can all believe that Damian is my son. There should be no issues for you as long as I am in your presence.” Alpha Jace then added, as he opens a drawer from his desk and pulls out a black box, before he stood and moved to me with it, handing it to me. Looking down at the black box now in my hands, I wonder what could possibly be inside, and why he was giving it to me now. I hesitated for a moment to op
Kit’s POV “Do you think he will like me?” Damian asks as we drive down the lane to my father’s estate, a place I was almost positive I would never set foot in again. “I am sure he will love you and be happy to finally meet you.” Alpha Jace tells him, as I remain silent looking out the window, nervous to see my father after all these years. In the seven years that I have been gone, I have refrained from having any communication with anyone back home, in fear that someone might find me, or worst yet find out that I had a son to their now Alpha. Not once in those years had anyone back home looked for me, that was until now, and I had to believe that it had something to do with the announcement of my engagement to Alpha Jace. I had told myself all those years that my father was probably happy to have gotten rid of the burden of me and the shame that I had brought to the family’s name. But here I was, coming back to the place
Kit’s POV “I’d like a moment alone with my father first.” I told Alpha Jace, as we stood outside my father’s bedroom door, because I feared what my father’s response would be seeing me for the first time after all these years, and I didn’t want to subject Alpha Jace to his cruelty to me. I didn’t want him to hear the foul remarks I was used to receiving from him, because I didn’t want Alpha Jace to think less of me. “I will give you a moment with him.” Alpha Jace said as he moved to take a seat on one of the chairs that sat in the grand hallway. Turning, I placed my hand on the doorknob, and I froze as I took a deep breath, praying to the Moon Goddess that this would go better than I foresee it going in my head, before I turn it, opening the door to my father’s bedroom. The room was eerily silent, as I stepped into the room and took a look around, until my eyes landed on my father laying on his bed, covered with a blanket up to his chin.
