Chapter 34

Ana

As soon as my mate leaves, I quickly take a short shower and change because I know my son will come for me next. Settling for a short white. dress, I leave my hair down so it can air dry.

I wear my white sneakers and before I can leave the room, Liam comes back in running as predicted.

“Mummy” He shouts lifting his hands to be carried, and I chuckle picking him up.

“Hello baby” I k*ss his cheek and he giggles.

“Mummy, grandpa said… grandpa said mmh…” He scrunches his face in thought, probably trying to remember what he was told. ” Mummy, I am hungry, Grandpa took daddy” he frowns and I peck his cheek. They must have left already.

Goddess, make him talk, please. I need to finally meet my mother. Dad also needs to have peace of mind.

“They will be back sweetheart, let us make breakfast. Will you help me?” I wonder why Dad doesn’t like serva n t s around the house. His paranoia is on top notch. I will convince him to get at least two people he can trust. I hate doing chores.

Η

Yes, I will show you how to make waffles” he excitedly says and I laugh. That is the only food my son recognizes. I wonder if Leo and his evil mother killed his nanny. I have been trying her phone but it goes to voicemail.

The woman was supposed to come here with the baby.

The house is quiet. I wonder if Chase and Alpha are still sleeping. It’s too late for wolves to be in bed right now. Unless they have company.

Setting my boy on the dining chair, I grab an apron to start with breakfast and that’s when my mate decides to mind-link me.

‘Jace?’ He sounds worried. His emotions are crumpled too.

Ana, I’m coming for you. Something came up, and your dad needs us’ 1 sense worry through the mate bond.

‘Is everything okay?’ I quickly turn to my son. Not again please goddess.

No baby, take Liam to Dad and meet me outside’ The urgency in his

wire causes my heart to speed up,

fiam is going to be bored. First his dad and then me?

“Honey, we need to wake Grandpa up, the other grandpa. You remember him right

“Mummy, food he points to the kitchen and I sigh.

*Grandpa makes good wattles you will see he remains quiet and looks Away Sometimes I feel like he senses what is happening around him. 1 follow Alpha’s scent and gently knock on his door. The man mumbles a low come in, and I slowly push the door open. He is sitting on a couch with his palms positioned on his chin. He appears to be deep in thought and I hate to disturb him.

“Hello honey, do you need anything?” He turns to look at me and I cringe at how red and swollen his eyes are. For the first time, my son doesn’t talk and that confirms my speculation. He notices what is happening and it’s disturbing him.

Maybe I shouldn’t have come here, I need to find Liam another babysitter. Or I should have knocked on Chase’s door instead.

No pain hurts more than losing your mate. It’s a pain I wouldn’t want any wolf to go through. And this man right here, never slept because the woman he loves is probably in another man’s arms.

I never thought I would hate her this much in my life.

“I am sorry to bother you, I will just seek Chase”

“No Ana, Jace already told me. Come on sweetheart” He approaches us and stretches his hands towards Liam.

“I will go bring your dad, okay?” I whisper and he covers his face with his little hands. He wanna cry.

‘Go’ Alpha mindlinks me and I silently nod closing the door behind me. Jace and I need to create enough time for our son. I understand that we can’t be available all the time but at least one of us needs to be there when the other is occupied.

He will feel safe that way.

What is it, babe?” I find my mate waiting for me in the garden, and I know it’s because he doesn’t want Liam to see him. There is no way Liam could have let him go.

hum I missed trim, and I keep fantasizing about how the day is going to

Haby? He whispers running his fingers in my hair. I like how his strong arms engulf me completely. “Sweetheart, forgive me but I want you to do something for me, okay? He whispers and I lift my head from his chest to look at him. I know that tone very well.

These are the same words I always tell Liam when trouble is about to occur. But when Jare is here with me. I have faith that no one will touch

me.

Jace k*sses my nose and a sad smile emerges from my l*ps. Goddess! I love him so much.

“Your dad believes that his security is compromised, and he wants to do a loyalty test on his guards. He is using us as bait. I am sorry” His eyes soften as they glance at me with remorse.

F u c k! Leo promised me that he would take the throne. His escaping the maximum cell is a very big deal. It’s true he has people working for him around here.

More dam n traitors.

“You will be there, right?” If I have my mate with me then everything will be okay. I will do anything to make sure all the culprits are taken down. Liam needs to grow up in a peaceful environment and with them. roaming free, then that will be an impossible job.

“Holding your hand sweetheart, I will be there holding your hand” He briefly k*sses my l*ps and takes my hand. I know what is about to happen will be scary but for the sake of my family, I mask my fear as much as possible.

In a vast clearing in the middle of the forest, we approach Dad who is surrounded by a couple of wolves. These wolves are different from the normal guards I have seen around.

They are in combat attires and are heavily armed. Most of them are men with only three women among them.

This does not look good.
