Chapter 005

I was stiffened for a moment because I knew whose voice that was. I had to gulp a couple of times to hide my nervousness. After all, I have moved on, and it seems like they are happy now. They deserve each other anyway. 

“This child bumped into me and our baby, honey. We’re hurt, and he didn’t even apologize for what he did. He even has the guts to say that I’m to blame!”

My eyes follow Rouge with his just movement; every step that he makes is calculated, and it screams power. His deep gray eyes are still the same as before; they were full of rage. His body became much more built than before; his shoulders are now more leaned, and his chest… seems harder now. He is… well, almost perfect with his physique. 

I gulped when our eyes met, and I am so stupid to think that he’ll be shocked seeing me again, but there’s nothing in his eyes. His hand claimed Rachel’s waist, and I noticed how his long fingers caressed her belly while looking straight into my eyes. 

I put Hector on my back when I saw that he tried to glimpse at him. My chest heaved for a moment. 

“I’m sorry for what my son did, Alpha Rouge. He’s just six years old, and I know I am responsible for everything he does, so on behalf of my son, I’m apologizing to you and to your Luna.” I spat on Rachel, who’s smirking at me, obviously liking to watch me ask for apologies. 

Rouge, on the other hand, clenched his jaw as he gazed at me. His eyes had never left my direction since he came, and it seems like he’s trying to read my mind or memorize the changes I’ve got after seven years of not seeing each other. 

His eyes remained blank and dark, though, in spite of their grey color. 

“Your son? You have a son?” He asked, craning his neck to one side to have a slight view of my son, but I shifted my body to hide my son better, which resulted in Rouge clenching his jaw even more. 

“Yes, Alpha.”

Gritting his teeth in annoyance, he took one step forward; his hand left Rachel’s waist now, making the latter gasp in dismay. 

“I need your son to apologize for bumping into Rachel. Even if he didn’t mean it.” 

“But Alpha…”

Rachel stopped me. “If you don’t want your son to apologize and kneel for me, then do it, Cassandra. Or else your son will be in trouble for hurting my baby, the heir of our pack.” 

She’s pregnant. I know it. So they really turned into something serious, huh? However, if we’re going to talk about the true heir of our pack, it’s my son. But of course I won’t let my son meet some trouble just for being their Alpha. 

“Guard, take that child away from Cassandra,” 

My eyes widened when their five guards came to us and took Hector from me.

“Stop! I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”

Rachel then chuckles. “Okay, then. But you have to do it first before we free your son. Go now, Cassandra. Kneel and beg for my forgiveness.”

“Mommy!” 

I looked at Hector, who’s trying to get away from their guards, but he can’t. Aside from the fact that they are older than him, they’ve got much more loaded and loaded body built and strength than him. 

Slowly, I bent my knees to kneel in front of Rachel and Rouge. But before my knees could touch the ground, the guards have screamed in pain, and I just saw Hector firing a bolt of energy towards them. 

“Hector!” I called to stop him. 

He turned to me and immediately ran toward me. His eyes turned red, and his hands are glowing with some blue and yellow color in them; a bolt of energy is trying to escape from his hands. 

“Don’t hurt my mommy!”
