Chapter 28

Jace.

approach Chase, who is currently playing with my son in his room. I wonder if the king will allow him to stay here. The future of my pack is still unknown to me.

If I decide to take the king’s offer, then I will be forced to drop the title to my beta who doesn’t want to stay either. I will leave that stress to Dad. I don’t know if he is in the right mind to go back home, to the house he built for his mate.

For all I know, the documents in that file won’t be anything near good. Did it have to be my mum of all the people?

She ruined everything.

“Jace. This is the cutest baby I have ever laid my eyes on” Chase marvels at Liam and I can’t agree less. His deep blue eyes shine with innocence and delight. He has long brown hair that I think should be trimmed. The baby is busy playing with his toys to notice the adults staring at him. I don’t know what I would have done without them in my life.

“I know Chase” I sit on Liam’s bed and bury my face in my palms. Now I wish I was born an ordinary wolf, and not in the alpha family.

“It will pass Jace. Everything will be okay” Chase places his hand on my back and I remain quiet. I know it will not be okay. I already lost my mother. No matter what happens, if she is found the king will not spare

her.

I will never have the woman I have loved all my life with me again. It will break my dad apart forever. Our once-happy family is no more.

Is my daddy sad?” I feel his little fingers pulling away my hands from my face and I do everything not to show him my tears.

“No baby, Daddy is fine. It’s just ..” F u c k! What should I say? His wide eyes are intently staring into mine like the kid is trying to read my mind.

“Look champion, your dad just misses your mum. He is okay” Chase holds his little shoulders, and saves me the trouble of breaking down in front of my son.

“Don’t worry, I will go tell mummy, okay? Don’t be sad Daddy, I will protect you too” My son k*sses my cheek and rushes out of the room. F u c k, I can’t hold it in anymore. His innocent gesture is g me up.

Say f u c k i n g many comunions

I will watch him Chase mumbles rusting after Liam and Fm thankf hele giving me time.

“Habe, Ana doesn’t talk or say anything else when I don’t look at her.

The moves hetween my parted legs mud holds my head to her tummy. My hands go behind her back and pull her into me.

After silently letting my stress out, I pull her on my bap and immediately liks her

If one day you decide to take everything from me, goddess, please keep this woman and my son with me. Let them stay at all costs, please,

I’m sorry lube, is there something I should dor” She remorsefully whispers, tracing her fingertips on my cydids to dry them. She is so beautiful and kind. I should have never caused her pain.

I love you so much , you know that right?” I k*ss her nose and she nods maintaining eye contact “Thank you for giving me a wonderful son” I whisper placing a haste k*ss on her l*ps.

I put her through hell but she is still here. Loving me despite everything. Holding me and wiping away my tears when I can’t handle my

mymore.

“Do you want to talk about it?” She cups my cheeks and I harshly bite my l*p. I have to remain strong.

“Not today, it’s hard ” I mumble avoiding her gaze. Ana k*sses my forehead and nods in understanding

“Dad told me to ask you about his offer” She changes the topic and I’m glad

“I don’t know, it appears to be a huge responsibility” I sigh as I slightly squeeze her as s.

“I know Jace, I will be there to help, every step of the way. Nay yes please she coerses perking my l*p. ” Plus he will wait until you are ready before he retires” She adds and I sigh. I have no choice, It’s Ana’s birthright and if u gors to someone else, it won’t be fair to her and her dad. My son too. “I have to talk to Dad first, he needs to find his replacement similarly”. After everything that is happening, I doubt he will want to go back to the pack again.

my

I understand, I want to be there for any family, and the ruling will take most of my time. Dad has no one else to belo húm face”

OVE ME AGAIN, MATE

“I am here, I just want to let Dad know first. The file was it any good?” my curiosity gets the best of me, and I can’t help but ask.

“It was all about Clara Jacobs, and Jason Parker. Dad is already trying to find out who they are”

I don’t know anything about my maternal background. It’s all blank. Mum claimed she was the only child and her parents together with her grandparents died. On my paternal side though. I have both

grandparents and an aunt. I don’t know if they heard about what happened.

“Your dad is already here, we should go talk to him” She pulls me up with her and we leave the room.

“Are you okay?” I sit beside Dad and Ana sits on the other side of him Liam is already on his lap, talking his brain out.

“Yes, I just arrived here, and guess who I met?” he taps the baby’s nose and he happily grins.

“My daddy was sad, and I protected him by… by telling mummy to go to… daddy” He proudly says and everyone starts laughing. The king is not around. He must have gone to his office.

“You did that?” Dad acts shocked, and my son proudly nods, innocently staring at me.

“That is so brave honey, continue protecting them, okay?” he whispers k*ssing his hair.

“Yes” Liam wiggles from his lap and runs to chase “Come on. I will teach

how to ride a truck” I guess he just made another friend.

you

“I am sorry” Ana wraps her hand around and Father places her face on his shoulder. Dad places his arm around her and k*sses her head. He is a strong man.

“I am sorry for what we did honey, I should have known her intentions. Come here son” Dad pulls him to him too and we remain in that position for a while.

“So, I heard you are the new heir” Dad proudly stares at me and I simply nod. News really travels first. This will only cause more trouble to us, at least until the coronation. It’s clear everyone is out to get that title.

“Go for it son, I’m handing the pack over to my beta” I knew he will.” Did you find something?” he whispers and I clench my jaw. I won’t be the one to break it to him.

EMEAUAIN, MATE

“Yeah, I mumble looking at Ana.

Do you perhaps know, Clara Jacobs and Jason Parker?” Ana asks and my

dad’s face goes pale. His hands start to shake and I don’t have to guess to know he is angry.

“That b i t c h, I f u c k i n g knew it”
