*LAIN*Since Rogue has agreed to do the DNA test it means that she'll stay in the pack for a little longer and the same applies to Freya.I'm looking forward to getting to know Rogue and spending a lot of time with her so that we can finally get to know each other.Freya excused herself and left the room and I decided to follow her. "Freya."She was heading in the direction of the garden.She was probably ignoring me on purpose and once I reached close enough I grabbed her by the arm and forced her to turn around and face me.She had tears in her eyes and in that moment she jerked her arm away from my grasp.I sighed deeply."What is your fucking problem Lain? Why can't you just leave me alone!" She yelled furiously."I don't want you in my life or my daughter's life. Why are you so bent on ruining the little happiness that I've found? I want to feel happy but whenever I see you all I feel is just anger and I'm on the verge of losing my mind."She broke down crying and I felt like I
*DREX*I know that my call was probably overdue but I didn't have the courage or the guts to contact Elisa after everything that I had put her through.It was best if I left her alone but hearing her voice again made me realize that I still love her and I deeply regret wasting all those years.I was glad that Lain pushed me to do this otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do it alone.Lain left his office and gave me some privacy so that I could talk to Elisa without any interruptions.She gasped from the other end of the line."Drex?" Her voice still sounded the same and it's like nothing has changed even though it's been ten freaking years.I sighed deeply and closed my eyes for a moment trying to compose myself so that I wouldn't break and crumble in front of her."I'm sorry it took this long, Elisa."I could hear her crying softly and perhaps she couldn't believe that it was me. I wouldn't blame her if she thought that I was dead or something."I kept waiting and I thought that
*LAIN*We were still waiting for the DNA test results and in the meantime I decided that it was time to introduce Rogue to the pack. I was very confident that the results would come in my favor.Since Drex was taking time off to spend quality time with his woman I gave him a few days over to make his final decision.I knocked on the door and when I didn't get any response I opened the door and found Rogue sitting on the bed.Our eyes locked and I smiled at her."You seem to be getting better very soon you'll get out of here."She frowned at me."Are you kicking me out?" She asked curiously while narrowing her eyes at me.I shook my head negatively and chuckled softly.I sat beside her and grasped her hand."I don't want you to leave and when you do leave it will only because Freya Allan has the last say in the matter."She hummed in response."I guess you're right but why do you always call my mother by her last name?" I shrugged carelessly."I don't know, it just feels right to me."
*ROGUE*Nothing about their stares felt right and the only thing I wanted to do was hide and run away. It felt like their stares were burning through me and I didn't want that kind of attention.I heard my dad calling my name when I couldn't hear him anymore. I slowed down and leaned against the wall breathing deeply.Tears filled my eyes but I didn't dare to let them fall."Are you lost?" I snapped out of my thoughts letting out a gasp as I stared at the person who startled me.His dark eyes met mine and I swallowed hard.When I didn't respond right away he cocked a brow at me."Are you mute or something?" I frowned at him.He had dark black eyes, brown hair and he was cute.I felt the heat rushing to my face and he seemed amused.A smirk curved his lips and a boy around his height tossed him a basketball."You coming Tate?" The boy asked curiously.My eyes widened in shock. Then I remembered my mother's story. My other father was a vampire and his name was Tate.His friend turned
*FREYA*I scoffed in annoyance, staring at the woman who has abandoned me since the day she brought me into this world."Did you know all this while?" I asked curiously as fire balls appeared on both of my hands.She shook her head negatively."I swear I didn't know that you were my daughter when I approached you the first time until you told me your story."Tears filled her eyes and the mere sight of her made me feel even more furious."So is this it? You think that I'm just going to fucking forgive you like shit didn't happen?!"She broke down crying.How pathetic.Did she honestly think that shedding a few crocodile tears was going to make me feel sorry for her?"I'm sorry I was young and I didn't know how to be a mother to you... just like you I was alone and scared."I scoffed in annoyance."Well you're nothing like me because unlike you I fucking sucked it up and dared to raise my daughter alone."She sniffled softly."If I could go back in time Freya I swear I'd make the right
*LAIN*When the pack guards told me that they saw Drex near the border I thought that they were bluffing and I needed to verify what they were saying so I followed them.When I arrived I stared at Drex in disbelief and he had the audacity to smirk at me.I frowned at him."What are you doing here?" He cocked a brow at me."This is not the welcome I was expecting alpha Lain didn't you miss me at all?" He taunted me, making me angry."I told you to make the right decision."He looked around the woods."And coming back here was the right decision because I know that shit is about to go down hill and you need me." I scoffed in annoyance."Don't fucking come back here acting cocky I can't believe that you chose to abandon that poor woman again."Drex sighed deeply."Stop putting words into my mouth because I didn't want to leave Elisa behind. I'm just doing this for her own good simply because I care deeply about her and I don't want to put her life in danger."I didn't have the energy t
*FREYA*I pulled back with a shaky exhale and my eyes widened in shock as I moved away from Lain who looked equally shocked as me."I'm sorry...that was Ember" I whispered softly.Lain narrowed his eyes at me."Why did you do that?" He asked curiously.I remained silent."I don't know, I guess it was just an impulse but it doesn't mean anything to me."I saw a flicker of pain in his eyes or maybe I was imagining things.He gave me a small smile."I just don't want things to be awkward between us Freya Allan. I thought we were making some progress so I don't want to lose what we have right now.”I nodded quietly."Well you have nothing to worry about" I muttered coldly while wiping my tears stricken face.Lain looked quite taken back."Look Freya I didn't want to offend you...I was just simply trying to point out something."I looked away avoiding his gaze and began picking up the broken pieces of glass which were on the floor.I hissed in pain when one of them cut me and Lain immediat
*VELVET*"If you're my mother's best friend don't you think that she would want to see you?" Rogue asked curiously.I nodded quietly.She was definitely a smart kid. I'll give her an applause for that.I sighed deeply."Of course I want her to know that I've been searching for her all these years but I want to surprise her so please don't tell her that we met."Rogue looked conflicted and it made me realize that I should have killed that mutt when I had the chance during the attack.I guess biting her leg didn't do enough damage like I expected.I removed my hand in one of the metal bars and held it out my pinky finger so that she could promise me.She sighed softly and smiled at me.She's so gullible just like her mother."Alright aunty Velvet I won't tell mom or dad about you but can I come visit you again?" She asked curiously.I forced a smile.I couldn't stand breathing the same air as this child.I had pretended to actually care about her when in reality she was getting on my ne
