“Richard?” I questioned and sat up to look at him. “I thought Richard wasn’t going to do it?”
“Jonah convinced him to. Since Richard still hasn’t actually given over his Alpha power to Chad, it’s best that Richard take part in it as well-for political reasons. Jonah gave his sample at the last minute too.”
“What?”
“That’s what I said,” Wyatt replied and leaned his head back to rest on the back of the couch. I just shook my head and leaned back again. We sat in comfortable silence, just enjoying each other’s company, but we were interrupted by a knock on the door. Wyatt gently lifted me off of him and went to go answer it. He peeked his head out, and all I heard him say was “go away,” sounding annoyed. I immediately knew it was Kendrick.
“Come on man. I’m going to be an uncle; you have to celebrate with me!” Kendrick whined.
“I’m trying to enjoy my last few moments with my mate. Plus, my mom is bringing Sam to us. Family only.”
“I’m your family too, dickhead! I’m practically your brother-in-law! Or have you forgotten that I’m mated to your sister?”
“Quit reminding me,” Wyatt muttered and let him. Melody came in after him with Leighann next to her as she quickly punched Wyatt in the arm.
“What was that for!?” he complained.
“For being a d-o-u-c-h-e to the father of my daughter,” she retorted and took a seat next to me. Wyatt was about to close the door, but Grace stopped him, and Sam came running in. He ran straight to me, completely ignoring Wyatt. “Sam! Daddy is right here!” he pouted.
“Mommy!” Sam replied and grabbed my face with his tiny hands.
“Hi, baby boy, did you have fun with Grandma and Grandpa?”
“Yeah!”
“Sam, Mommy, and Daddy have good news,” I told him and put him on my lap.
“Guud noos!?” I nodded my head and smiled. Wyatt came over and took his place next to me as he scooped up Sam to put onto his lap.
“Sam, Mommy has a baby growing in her tummy,” Wyatt told him and pointed at my stomach.
“Baby?” Sam repeated and pointed at my stomach as well. I nodded and smiled. But instead of smiling like I’d hoped he would, Sam scowled at me.
“Samson?”
“NO!!! NO BABY!!!” Sam screamed at the top of his lungs and started to cry.
“That was not the reaction I was expecting,” Kendrick mentioned, trying to contain his laughter. I snapped my head towards him and growled. He pressed his lips trying not to laugh even more. Even Melody was trying to contain her laughter. I looked back at Sam who was now bawling his eyes out while clutching onto Wyatt. Wyatt was just as horrified and confused as I was. This was definitely not the reaction I was expecting. .
***Chad’s P.O.V.***
My mind has been going in circles since the day we agreed to Wyatt’s unorthodox plan. It was a lot to digest, and I wondered if a clone could really replace me within the pack without anyone noticing. Would the people aware of my clone be able to keep up the charade? And don’t get me started on Lanie’s troubling glimpse of the future. I had so many reservations about it all. My nerves were shot after dealing with so many things one after the other since assuming the position of Alpha.
So imagine my surprise when I found out that Richard and Elder Jonah both decided to submit their DNA samples to the witch as well. A part of me was still against this plan, mostly because we were going to work with that dark witch. I couldn’t get past the fact that, at one point, she wanted Killian because she was under the impression he was Keaton’s son.
When I got word that Svetlana was coming to Golden Moon to collect our samples, I had expected an older woman to show up. I was completely floored when someone, who looked to be in her late twenties to early thirties, appeared out of thin air in my office. “Hello,” she said in a heavy Russian accent.
“Who the f**k are you!?” I growled.
“Calm down, my name is Svetlana. I was sent by Alpha Wyatt,” she answered.
“You’re Svetlana!?”
“Da. Is there a problem?”
“No, I … I expected someone … well… older.”
“I’m over one thousand years old. How much older do I need to be?”
“What?”
“Has anyone ever told you that talking about a woman’s age is disrespectful?” I c****d an eyebrow at her. “Where is the Alpha?”
“You’re looking at him,” I replied.
“Oh, so you are Chad?” she noted with a sly smile. “You are the mate that Terrine rejected?” she mocked. I honestly hated hearing her name, especially now that I have Lanie. “I know that you are not fond of me, Alpha Chad; however, if it makes you feel any better, I never planned on taking her first-born child, even if he were born of Beta blood,” she admitted while walking around my office as if she owned it. I snapped my eyes towards her.
“What?”
“Terrine. She had no money when she came to me for the poison she wanted to kill her target with, so she offered her first-born child to me, promising that it would be of Beta blood. I took her payment, but I wasn’t going to actually cash it in.” This was news to me. Even Wyatt and his pack were still under the impression that Svetlana would have taken Killian had he been Keaton’s son and not mine.
“I don’t understand,” I replied, not knowing what else to say. She stopped dead in her tracks to look at me and gave me a serious expression.
“I may be a dark witch, but I am not a monster. I draw the line at children and babies,” she explained with the utmost sincerity. “Terrine was, how you say, a troubled soul.”
“Tell me something that I don’t know,” I retorted while averting my eyes towards the ground.
“She loved you.” I jerked my head up to look her in the eye and furrowed my brows.
“What the hell are you talking about? She rejected me after one night together-via hotel notepad and pen. I don’t know where you get ‘love’ out of that!”
“I know, I heard about what she did to you. But, what you and everyone else do not know is that Terrine came to me again after she had killed Lizzy and asked for the potion that would suppress the mate bond.” “Why?”
