Do I do that? I didn’t realise. “That is all Sara’s doing. She smiles and greets everyone, and you have picked up that habit and everyone likes it. now you have adopted a child. That is something you would have never done before Sara. She makes you a good and caring person.” Shit! am I changing and not even aware of it? “She is still just an employee here, nothing more.” I don’t know who I want to convince by saying that. Logan or myself. “Alpha, I don’t think that…” “Logan, that is enough! Am sure you have work to do somewhere.” I kept my voice cold and my face expressionless. I can’t afford to let people see me weak. That would be the end of me and this pack. Then I can forget about the family I want to build. Logan hesitates but walks away without saying anything. I scanned the place looking for the course for all my troubles. I saw her playing with our daughter laughing. My lips curled into a smile. That is a beautiful picture. I frowned thinking of that phone call she receiv
KANE’S POV I shook my head getting rid of the thoughts about Sara and walked towards them. “Lilly, why don’t you go and check on Aunt Joy in the kitchen? I heard she was about to bake cookies.” She doesn’t say a word but runs towards the pack house. I smiled looking at her. she is going to grow up to be such a beautiful soul. Smart, loving, caring and compassionate. She will be just like her mother, my two badass women. What the fuck am I thinking? This is why Logan implied that I was weak. What the fuck has gotten into me? “Did you want something?” Sara brings me out of my thoughts. “Yes, I wanted to know if you are, okay?” what the fuck? That is not what I wanted to say, I wanted to ask who that person on the phone was and why was she upset after talking to them? “I am fine, thank you for asking.” There we go again; I hate this fucking formal shit. I am the father of her kid, why does she have to be so formal, why can’t she talk to me the same way she talks to other people? M
But what does she do? Goes and entertains my nephew. If she thinks I will let her go just like that then she has another thing coming. Both of them! the drive to the golf course took less time than it usually does. Maybe because I was driving too fast. I get in and looked around in the restaurant. He see him sitting on a table with some man. He has his back on me so I can’t tell who it is. I rushed to their table and when I get to it. I pull out a chair and took a seat. The man is Johnson senior. The former alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack. “Alpha Kane, how nice of you to join us. Alex didn’t tell me that you will also be joining us.” I ignore him and keep my eyes on my nephew. He looks nervous, good. “I am only here to talk to my nephew. I have no business with you alpha Johnson.” The old man looks between me, and Alex then nods getting up. “We can set up another meeting to finalise things Alex. I will be going now.” Alex gets up and bids the man farewell before sitting back down.
KANE’S POV If you have never felt lonely and isolated, then you have never felt pain. I am not talking about being lonely because your friends are busy, or you can’t go out for whatever reason. I am talking about the kind of loneliness that lingers even when there are people around. Often times they are there but even though you are surrounded by them. there is still that empty hole in your heart that makes you feel like you are incomplete. I have been feeling like that this whole week and I haven’t felt this way since I was a teenager. Just after I heard I will not have a wolf, I left home. I wanted to be the best alpha the world has ever seen, even though I would not have a wolf. I wanted more, I wanted respect, and I knew I will not have it if I was just a useless alpha with no wolf or skills besides being violent. I was also a tyrant as people call me and I needed more than that. The seer said the Moon Goddess didn’t give me a wolf because I was a tyrant, and she was afraid th
I appreciated his words; this is one of the reasons he is my best friend. The one who called to check up on me during my time away. The one who tried to stop me from leaving. The one who stood by me still wearing a proud smile on his face telling people “To hell with a wolf, he can still take anyone of you without it. he will make a great alpha.” Of course, people ignored him, and the elders of the pack walked away. Those old shits! I killed them all when I came back. I was sick of their old ways that prevented us from progress. “He said something that got to me. it’s not what he said but how he said it.” Logan looked confused and I understand where is coming from as I am not making any sense right now. “He told me to leave Sara for him or I will never know where Jade is. Like he knew all this time where she has been.” Logan sighed, I know he doesn’t like Jade, he just respects her as the woman I love. “After all the progress you have made with Sara, getting closer together and ad
SARA’S POV I went to Kane’s office to tell him about the outing I booked for us. Our first one as a family, I wanted us to bond with Lilly and make memories. But when I got to his door, I heard them talking about Jade. The way he spoke about her, I could tell that she was the woman he loved and admired. His voice was soft and gentle when he spoke about her. If she was an ex I wouldn’t mind, but she is the woman he spent thousands if not millions in manpower and resources to find. She means a lot to him that is clear. How stupid could I be? How could I have been fooled like this, believed his words when he told me that he wanted it all with me. I thought we were moving forward, that we had a connection and that we were going to be a family. How could I have let my guard down when he made me sign a contract? He knew what he was doing when he made me sign that contract. But I went and fell in love with him over some intimate moment we shared, his empty words and us adopting Lilly.
“Lilly will never feel that way with me, I can’t say the same about you.” He turned fast facing me with his chest moving up and down. “Excuse me?” I ignored him and looked at Logan. “Please email me the details of the job and when the interview is. I want to prepare.” “Yes, Luna.” I turned to leave when I heard him speak. “Sara, what did you mean by that?” I didn’t turn, I didn’t need to because seeing his face again will make me explode and ask about Jade. “Figure it out.” I walked out the door closing it behind me then leaned against it. I could not help but recall Layla’s words. “Many have come and gone. You are no different”. I thought I was at the time because of the contract. But the contract only made it all the more harder for me to leave. the thing I thought made me different from other and special is what Kane will use to keep me here. And the fact that he knows I will never leave my children behind. My parents already died and left me in the hands of people who used me.
MEGAN’S POV I was angry for a long time for what my parents did to me but now that I got everything, I wanted from them. I feel sorry for them. I realised that they are only two greedy people who wanted a life they were not destined for, and they took matters into their own hands and changed their destiny. However, that destiny did not come easy, it came at a cost. A very high cost, me, they lost me for years. I thought they didn’t care that I was gone, I still think my father doesn’t care that I was gone but my mother does. She grieved my loss, threatened to expose my father if he did not go out there and find me when Kane took Alex and me. I can see she is trying but for the life of me, I can’t forgive her for replacing me. if she had another child then I would have understood but she didn’t. She chose to replace me with the real alpha’s daughter, Sara. I don’t know if it was guilt for what they did to her parents that made them take her in. But my gut tells me they loved her,
EPILOGUE SARA’S POV The night was dark, and the fairy lights around made it look amazing. Today were had what humans call the red moon, the vampires called it the Blood Moon and we werewolves called it Lunar eclipse. I sat in the nursery looking out the window watching as my pack members walked u
KANE’S POV The dinner only served as a reminder for me why we don’t like vampires. We were having a nice meal while they were busy drinking blood they did not know came from. Yes, I got the blood, but they did not know which human it came from, they were just happy to drink it. Well, maybe I was b
SARA’S POV A month has passed since Kane, and I fixed things and a week since Mike and Dimitri moved out. They moved into the house I used to live in with Lilly when we left the pack that time. They had not found a place they liked yet and time was running out. I did not want them to stay longer t
SARA’S POV When I left Kane’s office, I went to find my brother, I was feeling lighter and more at peace now that Kane and I fixed things. Now I realized that it doesn’t matter how long you have known someone, but you still need to pay attention to the next person. Knowing each other for long doe
SARA’S POV I really did mess up. I did many things wrong, and Kane was right for being angry. I just didn’t know he was this angry until now. Mike did not help the situation when he punched Kane. Also, I should have introduced him to Kane sooner, when I came back home from the hospital. I just tho
KANE’S POV “Is this payback?” she gave me a confused look. “I have done you wrong many times and what I want to know if this is payback for what I did to you?” she quickly shook her head, but I continued before she could finish. “I know that you might not think so, but people turn to punish those
SARA’S POV Three days have passed and no sign of Kane. I thought he was going to come and visit his son even if he was angry with me, but he never did. I think I have really hurt him this time. But my brother and Dimitri kept visiting. Aunt Joy brought Lilly to visit as well. She loves her brother
SARA’S POV I hurt my mate so much that I could not even look him in the eyes. I shouldn’t have said what I said. I was just so angry that I took it all out on him when he did not deserve it. I hurt him so much and made him feel like his actions were going unnoticed by me and that he was not apprec
KANE’S POV I looked at Sara and I could not believe she just asked me that. Yes, I will not deny that I do not want vampires in my pack but that was directed or meant for Dimitri. How was I supposed to know that her brother would be one. Or that there was a possibility that she had a brother that
