“Wait, I don’t understand, who is Lilly?” oh, I forgot Nat doesn’t know about Lilly, I did not get a chance to tell her yet. “She is the little girl Kane and I adopted.” Nat did not say anything for a while that I thought she hung up. “You adopted a child, and you didn’t tell me?” I could hear the pain in her voice. “It’s recent and I was going to tell you when everything went to hell. I found out recently about this woman and even before I asked him about her. she comes back. she is mentally ill Nat, and he is forcing me to take care of her.” tears continued to flow down my cheeks. “So, he is doing the same thing your aunt and uncle were doing. Using you for their own gain. Now he is using you to care for his crazy woman. fuck that. Leave that place.” I wish I could, but Kane would find me and take Lilly. “I can’t leave, he will hurt Lilly if I do.” Nat sighed on the other side of the line. “What do you want me to do?” I didn’t know. “Nothing, I just need you to be there for me l
SARA’S POV I washed my face feeling disgusted by what Jade did. She is not a child and yet she acted like one. Goddess, I don’t have a child yet or at least, I don’t have a child that young to be spitting on my face. I gently placed the plate on the floor and got up. Kane glared at me, but I pretended not to see it. I was not about to entertain him while I have food on my face. I walked out the door running into Logan, he looked at me with a raised eyebrow and I just pointed inside. “You don’t have to do this.” As if I had a choice. I walked away leaving him there, oh how I wished my life was different. Maybe if my parents had not died, I would have had a different life than this one. “Then you wouldn’t have met Lilly.” Rose reminded me, she was right. Through everything I have been through there have been some good moments and good people. Nat for instance and Lilly. Now, I can’t Imagine my life without either of them and it’s clear that I would go through hell for both of them.
I stood in the corridor a bit far from his room door. He came and stood in front of me. “What is it?” I could tell he was not interested in being there with me as he kept looking back at his room.“I will be starting work in two days, please find someone to take care of Jade when I am at work.” He looked at me deeply and I knew he was going to say no. “Let’s first see how she is in the next two days, if she can still eat without you then I don’t see a problem but if she can’t and looks for you when you are not around then you will have to stop working and look after her until she gets better.” Wow, oh, Jade. I wish you came back well then, I would not be subjected to this kind of treatment. “I also have Lilly; I cannot be looking after Jade all the time.” He doesn’t say anything for a while just looking at me. “Look Sara, I am not trying to be mean here, but I cannot let anything happen to Jade. She means a lot to me, and I will do anything to make sure she gets better and back to
SARA’S POV I looked at Layla and this crazy idea came to mind. What if Layla planned all this, what if she knew all along where Jade was and what if she was responsible for her disappearance to begin with? Thinking about it now, it all makes sense. If Layla took Jade in the first place, then it makes sense why Kane with all his resources could not find her. also, there was no evidence of foul play when Jade was taken. From what I have heard, Jade was a skilled fighter and assassin. For someone to take her like that then would have to drug her and I can’t put that past Layla. Also, when I first came, she said something about others coming and going. What if she is the one who made them all go? She could have kept Jade somewhere and released her after our argument that day. How else could she have known about her being here? Kane warned the omega who helped clean her and told her not to say anything to anyone. The man doesn’t want anyone knowing or seeing Jade like that. So, how d
I just lied to my daughter to cover for a man I don’t even know if he will ever have time for her. Kane had Jade now and Lilly meant nothing to him. But I can’t tell her that, I would rather she continued believing the lie that he is too busy to play with her than tell her that he doesn’t want her or have time for her now. A picture of Kane spinning a chocolate covered Lilly around in his office with a huge smile on his face and Lilly giggling happily. Came to mind and my heart broke even more. Jade, I am sorry, but I wish you never came back. your return has ruined the life of a little girl whose life has been nothing but difficult. She lost her parents at a very young age and had to grow up in an orphanage. Now that she has found a family, someone else comes along and steals that from her. it’s not fair. “He will find time and play with you when he is not busy, okay.” She nodded and I wiped her tears away. “How about we go and have some ice cream together?” she gave me a small s
KANE’S POV It’s been a week since I got Jade back, she is getting better, but Sara was getting worse. By worse I mean she looks like a zombie, and I know part of it is because of taking care of Jade and Lilly all by herself. Jade got too demanding that I had to wake Sara in the middle of the night in some days to calm her down. She also has work now, so her schedule is hectic. She wakes up early in the morning to prepare for Jade and Lilly. Then leaves for work and come back during lunch to make sure Jade eats. Goes back to work then come back and do the same thing. She doesn’t talk to anyone; I only hear her voice when she is talking to Jade giving her instructions. Then when she is talking to Lilly. Oh, my darling daughter, I have not had time for her since this whole thing started. At first, I was trying to avoid her because I could not look her in the eye after I threatened her to her mother. It was like she knew what I had done, and I could not look her in the eye. The guilt
“What do you want me to say? That I told you something like this would happen?” that is not what I wanted, I wanted his advice, for him to tell me how to make it right. My family is suffering, and I can’t stand on the sidelines and watch it happen anymore. “No, I want you to help me come up with a way to make all this better?” Logan turns to me fully with a disappointed look on his face. “When I warned you about this you accused me of not caring for the woman who is responsible for having my friend here today. I let you do things your way and now that it has backfired you want my help. No man, it doesn’t work that way. You got yourself into this, you can get yourself out.” He was angry and everything he said was the truth. I nodded and he just looked at me before turning around and leaving. I sat down and looked up in the sky as if I would find answers there, but it only gave me a headache. When Jade gets better the only reasonable thing, I can do is work hard to make it up to Sara
SARA’S POV I watched as Kane and his nephew go at each other arguing. I am not even sure what they are urging about, my focus is on Jade. I heard my name and Jade’s name, but my brain just could not make out what they were saying. I am just too tired and all I want is to close my eyes and drift off to slumber. If I don’t sleep anytime soon then I will get hurt. In the kitchen just now while preparing Jade’s food I burned myself with hot water. I don’t know what will happen next time, if I am not careful, I will be badly hurt. While I was busy watching Jade and ignoring the commotion. Kane fell right beside me, and Alex was on top of him choking the living daylights out of him. I watched in horror as his claws extended and was about to slit Kane’s throat. I don’t know how I did it, but I remember hearing a roar before Alex was lunched to the side. Kane quickly got up and looked at Alex as he got up and dusted himself off. “I stand up for you and you fight for him? Yet, when I chose
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
