He looked at his brothers, who were sound asleep already. He cocked his head to gaze at their sleeping quarters. It was lovely and spacious, with a large window looking out over a huge lawn. If Caiden hadn't been there, all the opulence would have been for naught. He could have been happy with the comfort Louis was giving them.He regretted not being able to tell his brothers the truth as he glanced at them once again. Again, he was leaving them behind even though he had promised to safeguard them at all times. He couldn't stay there though.Even though Noah, Lucas, and Kyler missed Caiden, Sterling had already come to the realization that they were content with their new lives and didn't feel motivated to act in the way Sterling wanted to get away from them. He got out of bed and went in search of something to occupy his time so he wouldn't go to sleep. He thought about his plans over and over again. In the same way, he was aware that Kamara never left her phone alone at night. The
"Why did you act in that way, Sterling?" Kamara sobbed because, despite knowing the answer, she genuinely wanted to understand Sterling.The youngster yelled at her, "You're keeping me from seeing my dad. Mom, I'll never be able to accept it."Sterling then hurried to his room and shut himself in for the remainder of the morning. Kamara fell into the living room couch and covered her head with her hands as she struggled to accept what was happening."We really need to allow the boy some time to get used to his new life," Louis said, sitting next to her and giving her a back rub. "I'm so sorry about all this, Kamara."It wasn't going to be that simple, though. Her choice to keep her distance from Caiden was having an impact on how she interacted with her own kids as well. She considered telling the quads the truth about Caiden and tried to get Sterling to stay there without his father."He'll try to run away again," she complained as she hurried to stand up. "Since I know Sterling well
"Are you serious?" Though Sterling remained skeptical, he would make every effort to take advantage of this opportunity to speak with Caiden. He held out his phone to the boy and said, "Of course, I'm serious, but there are some conditions. I let you use my phone, but first you can't tell your mother about it. Secondly, you are unable to disclose your location to your father." Sterling was aware that it was unreal. Calling Caiden would be useless if he couldn't tell him where he was. Sterling's true desire was to leave that place. Louis went on, "I know you don't want to be here, Sterling, but I can get Kamara to allow you see your dad, but you'll have to trust me, even if it's a little bit."Sterling's eyes regained their glitter as his thinking became more open. He quickly reached for the phone, grinning at Louis while he called Caiden's number."I agree to your terms."When he held the phone up to his ear, the sound of his father's voice gave him immense happiness.***********Nat
There was tremendous chaos and turmoil in front of the police station. The whole pack seems to have congregated at that spot. Caiden's arrival was met with an urgent demand for order and respect. In quiet, they all stared at him, waiting for him to make up his mind on what to do."Sir Alpha, all these people had their homes invaded last night," Bruno stated, interrupting the quiet.How is it feasible for this to happen? Caiden pondered. It was almost the whole pack. All of a sudden, the whispers started up again, and everyone was speaking at once.With a firm voice, the alpha spoke out, "Listen!" and everyone fell hushed once more. "I'll gather all the hunters in the city, and together we'll figure out how to get the pack back in order.""Alpha, does that mean me too?" Caiden felt the voice cut through the throng and send thrills down his spine. The people around him looked scared and astonished as the man forced his way through. The alpha wanted to snatch Ed by the throat and murder
It would be difficult for Caiden to leave the police station. It appeared as though the alpha was the only one with the answer to those people's issues, and Bruno was powerless to help. Before leaving and heading home, he spoke with everyone. In order to stay there and take care of every issue the pack had been having, Caiden believed he had to make sure that someone capable would look after his kids.He entered the house and found Jessie standing in the center of the space, as though she had been waiting for him. "Is it necessary for this man to reside in our home?" Caiden could not understand the question."Which man are you referring to?" He took a different route while walking."How can I allow the person who took my brother's place to come into my house whenever he pleases?" she asked, turning to Caiden with a mocking glare.From across the room, Caiden sneered, "I told him to come, and even if I hadn't, Nate could come here anytime he wants because this house is mine."There was
Jessie rummaged among the pack, desperate to find Enzo. The intensity of her brother's desire for retribution against Caiden eclipsed everything else, including this situation.She saw him having meetings with strangers, people she had never seen before. He was hiding out in Kamara's former home. Even Jessie got scared sometimes from Enzo's almost never-ending infatuation with Kamara.One man showed his claws and moved toward Jessie as soon as he noticed her. Enzo hit the man hard right away."Please release my sister right away." A vein pulsed with wrath on his neck.One of them remarked, "She's the pack's Luna. What makes her trustworthy?"Enzo gave the man a glance, and Jessie thought he might actually agree with them during the lengthy wait that followed. "She will always be my sister, even though she is the Alpha's wife, none of you are allowed to touch her."It was a straightforward message. After giving them a final look, Enzo took Jessie by the arm and motioned for her to go.
Feeling alone, Jessie strolled back to her house. She nearly fell to the ground when she walked through the front door, but Caiden caught her by the waist and kept her from falling. He sensed right away that something odd was happening to his wife as he peered into her eyes."What is going on with you, Jessie?" staring into her red eyes, he inquired. "Did you cry?"With a forceful swallow, Jessie turned away from Caiden and faced him again. She was at a loss for words as Enzo's remarks continued to consume her thoughts, keeping her from thinking about anything else.She continued to face away from him as she spoke, "I went to beg Enzo to stop causing trouble for the pack."He swiftly pivoted her, making Jessie meet his gaze. "Tell me what he did to you," he said. "I'll make him pay for every tear you shed."A knot started to grow in her throat. "He didn't do anything, Caiden; he just told me that you'll definitely go after Kamara."Caiden turned his head so that Jessie couldn't see ho
Ed chuckled, revealing the darkness in his eyes and his brown teeth. Lisa was shocked to see that Kamara had been given back to her abuser by Caiden when she took one look at the circumstances."Caiden, what are you doing?" She didn't whisper softly enough for Ed to miss it, she tried to.Ed broke off their talk and walked over to say, "it's been quite a long time. Hasn't it, Lisa?" but Lisa retreated. Her brightness had not even diminished with her husband's passing.She snapped back, "Don't pour your falseness over me, Ed. I refuse to be enticed by your charms, even though Caiden went insane trying to trust you again."Caiden shouted out, gazing into her eyes, "Mother. I was left with no option.""You would have been looking for Kamara, and I would have taken your place."He vented his annoyance, saying, "I can't leave the pack all the time to rescue Kamara. After all, she made the decision to go.""But it's not the best solution to entrust Ed with her life."Caiden was aware that L
