LUTHER'S POV I was panic-stricken and confused as I gazed at Jaya lying on the floor. Oh, gosh! I shouldn't have told her. Anyway, of what use is hiding the truth from her when she is bound to know sooner or later? The earlier she knows that Whitney has a six-year-old son with me, the better. "Luther, don't just stand there doing nothing. Do something to revive her," Mom said in a panic-stricken voice. I jolted from my thoughts, squatted beside Jaya, and stared at her face. Her eyes were closed and she looked lifeless. I cradled her face and called her name but she didn't respond. I raised my head and saw the bowl of water I used in reviving my mother when she fainted. The bowl was just a few feet away from me. I reached out and picked up the bowl. I scooped some water from the bowl and sprinkled it on Jaya's face. She spasmed for some seconds before she opened her eyes. "Thank goodness, she has regained consciousness," Mom said as she rose to her feet and stood beside
LUTHER'S POV For some seconds, I gazed at my father who despite he now looks older with some wrinkles and fine lines was still quite an attractive man with a great muscular physique. I think he has grown more muscular over the years and was way more muscular than me. I must say I secretly envy his intimidating physique. I want to be as muscular as he is and has been working out vigorously over the years. Although my physique has improved significantly, it can't be compared to that of my father. My eyes swept over him. He was wearing a tight-fitted green polo shirt that accentuated his muscle with black jeans. On his feet were a pair of matching black sneakers with white stripes. Jaya and my mother greeted him and he responded with a nod. "Luther, have you suddenly gone dumb? I ask you one more time, what son were you talking about?" Dad asked as he gazed intently at me. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that my dad will disapprove
LUTHER'S POV For some seconds that seem like an eternity, my father stared at me in disbelief. "Luther, is the Whitney Stanford different from the one I know?" Dad asked with shock in his voice. "No, Dad. She is the same Whitney Stanford that you know," I replied bluntly. "Do you mean the Whitney Stanford that was my former maid that ran away from home?" he asked with an incredulous expression. "Yes, Dad." "Are you out of your mind? What the heck are you saying? How could Whitney have a baby with you? That is not possible," Dad said with disbelief. "Dad, I know you are in disbelief. I was also in disbelief when I got the news just like you and Mom when I told her. She even fainted when I dropped the bombshell," I said. My father was silent for a moment as he gazed at me in utter perplexity. "Luther, are you sure you are alright? I hope your distress has not affected your mental health," he said. "Dad, there is nothing wrong with me. I am alright," I said. "How can
LUTHER'S POV As I glared at my father, I was filled with hatred for him. How dare he slaps me? He has no respect for me Luther Don, the Alpha of Shadow Pack. For crying out loud, I'm now the Alpha of the pack yet my father still has so much power over me making me feel less of an Alpha which I find very annoying. The fact that he made me his successor doesn't mean he should continue to have power over me. Why should my father oppose my decision? Why should he tell me what to do? I may still be young but I'm a full-grown man with kids and above all, I'm the Alpha of the pack. I think it's high time I did something about my father's influence and power over me. But the big question is, what can I do? Almost everyone in the pack loves my father and I know majority of the elders in the pack prefer my father to me. So to get the elders to support me will be difficult. As the Alpha of the pack, I can't continue to b
LUTHER'S POV As I was groaning in pain on the floor with my father glaring at me, Jaya rushed to me and knelt beside me, and held my shoulders gently. "My Alpha, are you alright?" she said in a panic-stricken voice as she gazed at me. I was silent for a moment as I stared at her. I must say that I felt a little guilty because despite I want to bring my son with Whitney to the house and groom him to be my successor, she is still showing me concern. I know Jaya loves me and I love her too. However, I have no doubt that she loves me way more than I love her. As we gazed at each other, I felt a little sad because I know I'm hurting her by insisting on bringing my son but I just couldn't help it. I can't fathom why I should continue to languish in sorrow because of my predicament when the Moon Goddess has answered my prayer by giving me a son through Whitney. The best part is that my son is already six years old, so, I don't have to nurture him as a toddler. "Yes, I'm alr
LUTHER'S POV Two weeks after the hullabaloo in my mother's room, I was in my room sitting on a chair and working on my laptop which was on top of a desk. It was on a Saturday when I don't go to work. As I was working on the laptop, I suddenly stopped and stared into space as my mind drifted to a week ago when my father called me on the phone and summoned me to his house. That day was on a weekend and it was in the evening. I recall when I entered his room, he was sitting on the bed and was clad in a pair of shorts and a singlet. After greeting him, he gestured for me to sit on the sofa facing him. After I sat down, he gazed at me for some seconds as I stared back at him. "Luther, I summoned you here because of the altercation we had in your mother's room a week ago. I told you then that I was going to summon Martin to tell me the truth about Whitney's pregnancy and I also told you that I am going to summon Janet to interrogate her," he said. "Yes, I remember," I said. "I s
LUTHER'S POV I was filled with anticipation as I answered the phone. "Hello, Rico," I said. "Hello, Alpha," he responded. "Good to hear from you. What's up, Rico? I have been anxiously waiting to hear from you since the last time we spoke. Were you able to get information about Whitney and her mate?" I asked. "Yes, I got some useful information about them I think you will be interested in," he replied. "Wow...that's good to know. So what information did you get about them?" I asked. "I have written all the information I got and will send it to your email soon after we end the call. However, I will brief you about the main ones I think you will be interested to know now," he said. "Okay, go ahead," I said with eagerness. "I guess you will be shocked by the information I'm about to give to you," Rico said. "Rico, will you stop beating about the bush and tell me the fucking information? I am a man that works with time. I don't have time to waste. I get pissed off when
LUTHER'S POV I was silent for a moment as I pictured in my head what my son looks like. In the course of my conversation with Rico, I had intended to tell him to get me the picture of my son, so, that was the more reason why I was elated. "Rico, to say I'm glad that you took my son's picture is an understatement. Send the picture now," I said. "Alpha, be patient. I will send it immediately after our conversation," Rico said. "Okay. So is there any other information you think I should know?" I asked. "I think I have given you all the most important information. You will see the other ones in the email I will send to you which includes the address of Alpha Vicker's companies, and the address of his house where he lives with Whitney and the kids. One more thing, I heard Whitney call her kids' names several times in the park. The name of your son is Jason and the second boy's name is Shawn. The second boy has a strong resemblance to Alpha Vicker," Rico said. "Janet already tol
