Once more, they were silent to one other. Caiden's heart was pounding, and he had no idea what to say or do to persuade her. He had never felt more helpless to make a choice in his life as he did at that precise time.He went on, "I really did mean it when I promised to find out who killed your parents and punish them.""You know now," she said, showing him her teeth. Kamara was filled with pain and bitterness, no longer filled with love. "I hope you receive the appropriate punishment.""Kamara, what do you want me to do?" he inquired, feeling helpless and desperate. "Would you like me to say I'm sorry? Please pardon me for unintentionally killing your parents. I apologize for causing you such suffering.""Your apologies are insufficient, Caiden," she gritted her teeth in an attempt to mask her discomfort. "My parents' passing left an enormous emptiness in me that forgiveness cannot erase. It also won't bring them back. Do you recall the torment I suffered at Larissa's hands? I will n
There was no time for more conversation; under Caiden's sad look, Kamara exited the building, got into his car, and drove off. A tear escaped his eyes, but Caiden wiped it away with a fast flick. There was no time to be sorry. He had never felt such deep heartache as when he had even rejected Kamara in order to marry. An agony he might not be able to endure. Caiden knew he would never be able to win his feelings, so he resisted them when Lisa walked into the room.With tears in her eyes, Lisa remarked, "I tried to talk her into staying, but Kamara is too hurt to listen to me." Still, Caiden said nothing.She went on, "I'm so sorry, Caiden, for not telling you the truth all this time. Your father thought this might be a better option, so I just went along with it."Caiden said nothing. Lisa continued, pacing back and forth in the room as she looked for a solution. "Surely, if we give her some time to think it over, Kamara will reconsider her decision," she said. "You can't give up on h
Although Nate was unable to see the sorrow in Kamara's eyes, he was able to comprehend her pain. He was also aware that he couldn't get her to hold off. She tried to tell herself, "I will carry on with my life without Caiden and be happy without him. I apologize, Nate, but I have to leave before this story ends."In a final appeal, he urged, "Miss Kamara, don't do anything you'll regret later.""I already did," she said, "when I gave the Alpha another chance, and he broke my heart. I wasn't meant to be with Caiden. It's not meant to be. The moon goddess must have been mistaken this time.Nate was sad about it, but he also knew Kamara would never understand why everyone believed Caiden was innocent when the evidence clearly showed otherwise. He was not, however, upset with her. With a final glance at her, he turned to leave that subject behind.She gave him another embrace and said, "Thank you for everything, Nate, for bringing my children back."Nate knew he had to ask Kamara one fi
Although it didn't seem right, Kamara had no choice but to sacrifice the boys' bond with Caiden in order to solve a personal issue between the two of them. Knowing that he might appear at any time and remind her of his crimes by staring her in the eyes, she was unable to bear to stay there.Sterling remarked, "But I want to stay here with Dad," which broke Kamara's heart.With much disappointment, she answered, "You can't, Sterling. You will come with me, and we can't discuss this matter.""Mom, why not? You stated our father was dead, kept our origins a secret from us, and now you want to keep us a secret from our father as well?" he said immaturely."You will see him again, Sterling. That's not true," she replied, stumbling to her feet. "I said it's only for a while.""I want to go with Dad, please," Noah appeared to be going in the same direction as Sterling. As Kamara observed the boys, she didn't think they would object to leaving without Caiden. The children couldn't face the id
There was no kindness in his gaze when Nate looked into them. "You have to be wrong about that fact that I'm the same person as yourself." Nate was simply full of disgust, no kindness left in him. "What's wrong, Bruno? Are you upset with me because Caiden placed me in my rightful place? You ought to be beneath my feet." Nate grabbed Bruno's collar and shoved him hard against the wall. Bruno, though, had no fear.Nate sneered, "I don't have time for your conspiracy theories, Deputy. Do as you please. I have a task to complete."Bruno had to move aside as a result of Nate's hard push, and he gave him one last glance.Nate said, "You'll have to come back another time," as he started back down the steps. "There is no presence of Alpha Caiden here, and I doubt you will locate him before I do." Bruno raised an incomprehensive eyebrow at Nate, who was already getting close to the building's exit. By that, what did Nate mean? It was too late to ask him questions. Bruno was even more enraged
Caiden eventually spoke when he parked the car in front of the building. "Get ready to follow my instructions," he said icily. "Find out where Louis's pack is and go there to try to find my children."Observing Caiden's clenched jaw, he said, "Of course, Alpha, and what about Miss Kamara?" Caiden gave him an odd look at that point. An acerbic and demanding gaze."Kamara is dead to me," he said as he opened the door of his car and prepared to drive away. "Never mention her name near me again."This time, Caiden left him hanging and just stepped out of the car and into the building, leaving a somber aura behind.As Nate watched Caiden hurry into the building, his thoughts drifted. Unrelenting and impetuous, this was undoubtedly the alpha he had heard about his entire life; nevertheless, it was not the alpha he had grown to know and respect. In Caiden, Kamara's absence had destroyed all light, leaving only darkness. Then he thought back to the children's smiles. It seemed as though their
Jessie covered his mouth as he stated quietly, "I came here to see you." She grabbed Enzo by the arm and pulled him to the end of the hallway, saying, "You must be out of your mind. Is it not apparent that Caiden is present?""And so what? Why should I be afraid of him?" His voice brimming with contempt for the alpha. "I am free to visit the pack at any time. I haven't yet been kicked out of this place." He said."Enzo, are you really attempting to sabotage my moment?" She couldn't take her eyes off the door where Caiden was while she whispered more. "It will not please the alpha to have you here. We would have met somewhere else if you had given me a call."With a lowered voice, he said, "I couldn't deliver this news over the phone, Jessie," not intending to stop Jessie from looking down the corridor. "I visited your house, but it was empty. Simply put, I didn't think you would be so brazen to approach Caiden once more.""Tell me what it is, please." Trying to move things along fast
Caiden was surprised by the question, but he tried not to show it by smiling, as though he thought it was ridiculous. "She is my children's mother. How would I allowed Enzo to hurt her?"But Jessie was fully aware of the reality. It was evident in Caiden's stunning eyes. She was aware that Kamara remained Caiden's love. She was aware that throughout their quest for the quads, something had transpired between them. She was aware of it, but she couldn't bear to think about it. It felt as though she was being eaten alive by poison.She said, looking into his eyes but seeing nothing wrong, "I want to believe you, I promise, but when you hurried back to the pack in such a hurry to talk to me, for a moment, I thought it you were about to end everything between us."Caiden felt his throat tighten and swallow forcefully. He turned his back on her, wondering if he really needed to tell Jessie the truth after all. "You're just trying to change the subject to avoid becoming angry with your broth
