“Shit, do something before she spots us” Leo instructs the witch and she starts chanting stuff I don’t understand. Probably creating an invisible wall around us like Kyle did.
“Done. They can’t see us” The woman exclaims and we watch as three cars stop metres away from our position. The guards from the first car rush to the middle car and open the doors on both sides.
“What about about the cabin?” I ask the woman standing next to Leonardo and she smirks at me. My son is in that cabin and they can’t touch him. He is innocent in all this.
“I got it covered, Alpha boy” The witch drawls, causing Ana to growl, baring her teeth at her. Isn’t she supposed to be with Leo?
Andrew is the first to get out of the before rushing to the other side to hold the door for Maya. It must have taken them a great deal to drive in this part of the forest. Why didn’t they just shift in wolf form? Or is it just because they are royalty they don’t want to tire their wolves? That’s why Noah is better in all ways.
“You better pray you didn’t interfere with my plans, Andrew. There is no way that bastard of a son and a dying man could have escaped” The bitch screams in Andrew’s face and the man remains silent. If he can’t talk back to her, can he even stop the queen from harming the innocents? Depending on him is pointless.
“I told you it’s just a matter of time. Why can’t he see she doesn’t care” Leo chuckles but I don’t share his amusement. I am a f**king bastard to the pretend king, thanks to my whoring mother.
“I think you now understand how serious this is. Go talk to the rest and give us feedback” Leo mutters when the group trudges more to the forest. Luckily for us, they are taking a different route from our cabin.
I know Leo is right. Even though It’s risky to collaborate with the enemy, we gotta do what we have to. I hope the rest will agree to this. Ana nudges my arm and without wasting a second, she dashes through the bushes to the way we came from.
“Absolutely not ” My dad is the first person to oppose after explaining everything to them.
“They are already here dad, we either act now or we won’t have that chance again” Ana desperately says. This is the first time she has talked since we got here. Apart from worry, I don’t sense any other disturbing emotion from her so, I am assuming we are good.
“True Alpha Edward. Desperate situations call for desperate measures. The sooner we save them, the better chance we have to fight back. We need to assemble wolves who are loyal to me and train them before her witches locate us. We don’t have time” Noah says and Dad nods with a sigh sitting back down.
“Have you thought what Leornado will demand in return?” Dad glances at Ana and I feel fear consuming me. If he thinks he will come for what’s mine, he will have to fight me to death.
“Let’s worry about that later, I need my beta and guards here as soon as possible,” Noah says in a final tone and no one argues more.
“Okay, Dad. We are up” Ana assures handing Liam to Noah but the boy tightly grips his mother’s clothes.
“No. Don’t leave me Mommy” Liam shouts and starts crying again. He hasn’t allowed anyone to hold him apart from Ana. He even refuses to look my way. It’s unlike him.
“Baby, Grandpa will take care of you for a while. I won’t take long I promise” Ana coos, k**sing his head but it’s fruitless.
“No. I want my mommy” Liam hides his face in Ana’s ch*st and cries harder.
“It’s okay, sweetheart. Stay with them, we don’t know what to expect so it’s better if we don’t put all the eggs in one basket” Dad says, pulling them in a hug.
“But what if”
“Your son needs you Ana, he should be your priority” Noah chimes. cutting her off. My mate sighs and takes a seat with Liam on her lap. I also think it’s better if she stayed. That way, I will be at peace knowing they are safe. I walk to Ana and gently k**s her temple and my son’s cheek.
“I love you. Take care of him, okay?” I whisper patting Liam’s head and he peeks at me through his fi**gers. He must have missed his mum a lot to behave this way. “Protect your mommy for me, okay champion?” I gently smile at my boy when he lifts his head and frantically nods at me.
He surely loves his mum more than me.
“Be careful, yeah? we will be waiting for you Jace, don’t disappoint us” Ana’s heart speeds when she says this as her eyes stare at me with worry. I can feel her uneasiness through the mate bond too.
“I know. I will come back to you” I hold both of them in a tight embrace, praying that the Goddess will help me keep my promise.
We are walking to our supposed deaths and we can only hope for the best.
“Let’s go” Kyle announces and I pull away from the two people who mean everything to me.
I must come back to them, no matter what.
(Ana)
The room remains silent when they leave and I sigh staring down at Liam. He still has his face hidden and I don’t know why he is behaving this way.
“He can sense the stress you know. Every child feels safe with their mother” Dad says, softly staring at us and I k**s my baby’s head. How ironic? My mother wants me dead.
“I am sorry she did that to you, baby. I should have protected you but I f**king laid there uselessly” Dad whispers in exasperation, as he stares down deep in thought. I can’t imagine what is going through his mind. “It was not your fault Dad. I don’t blame you”
“But I should have been able to do something, baby. If something happened to you I…I..” Noah covers his eyes with his palms and sniffles. With a heavy heart, I walk to my dad and drape one arm around him. “It’s our duty as parents to protect our kids, not harm them. I am sorry she hurt you, baby. I will never let her do that to you again” Dad lifts his face to look at me and my heart breaks at his w*t and red eyes.
Liam senses the sour mood too, because he wiggles from my arms, and when I let him down, he lifts his arms for my dad to pick him up. Given the chance, I wr*p my arms around Dad and tightly embrace him.,
It’s not his fault that his mate is a bitch. We can’t change who people are.
“She will pay for hurting us. It’s just a matter of time” I whisper running my hands through his hair. He needs a shave. At least he is clean. compared to before.
“Don’t be sad, Grandpa, I will protect you too” Liam wr*ps his little hands. around my dad’s neck and I chuckle at his little gesture. He sure understands what is going on.
