LOVE ME AGAIN MATE
Chapter 39
The house is awfully quiet, It looks like everyone is in their own world. Even my son can sense the tension.
1 cuddle him more in my chest and sigh. He is on my phone watching YouTube videos and it doesnât appear to be cheering him up.
Jace woke up, I am still amazed at the speed at which he healed. He has been stuck in our room since morning though. He left the pack hospital in a bad mood and requested us to give him space,
His dad is in his room too. He locked himself there when we came back and I havenât seen him since, Chase, on the other hand, went to our previous pack for his stuff. I told him about Dadâs offer and he was excited.
The school was supposed to start today but due to the unavoidable, itâs postponed until Jace feels better. He lost his mother yesterday and itâs affecting him more than I thought.
âIs everything okay, is he still in bed?â Dad enters the room and I sigh sitting up. Finally a presence in the depressing environment. He left for. work early. He said he wanted to reshuffle everything in the pack.
âThe house is depressing Dad.â I hand my son to him and walk to the kitchen to bring him his coffeeâ
âHello, championâ Dad pauses the video and Liam pouts staring at him with large innocent eyes. He is never quiet.
âAre you okay sweetheart?â Dad pinches his cheek and his eyes water
âDaddy is sad againâLiam whispers on the verge of tears. Oh! goddess. I knew he could sense what was happening. Especially when everything he wanted to do with Jace is still untouched.
Do you want to make him feel better?â he asks and Liam frantically nods. His tears roll down his chubby cheeks like a waterfall and I feel bad I didnât realize what he needed earlier.
I should have let him go instead of giving him my phone. Liam doesnât understand why his dad is locked in our room. He doesnât know his need
for space.
Father places him on the ground and before he can even say the words, my son is running toward our room.
LOVE MEAGAIN, MATE
I silently grab the coffee maker and begin what brought me to the kitchen.
âYour kid is smart Ana. He can feel what is happeningâ Dad starts beside me and i give him the steaming liquid.
âI should have sensed his needâ I lower my face feeling disappointed.
âHey baby, itâs not your fault. Half of the time I didnât even understand anything. Thanks to your mother, she made everything easier.â
He chuckles and that reminds me.
âAre we getting her back?â I hopefully whisper and his smile widens. âOf course sweetheart. I got a call today that Leornado didnât die. He is badly injured but he survived.â
âOh, Dad! I thought this was finally overâ
âAs long as it is the royal pack, drama never endsâ
âWe have his mother through. And that gives us an advantageâ He walks to the dining chair and I follow him.
âI wonât call it an advantage Father, he has had Mum with him, for a very long timeâHis eyes were saddened but he quickly hid the emotion.
âHow was she? I mean when you saw her?â I think about the woman on the floor. I didnât see quite much but she wasnât so miserable. She still has life.
âShe looked, average. She was not in bad or good condition. She
appeared normal to meâ I say and he slightly smiles like he remembered something.
âI know she will push through. My Lia was a strong wolfâ He smiles and that piques my interest.
âTell me about her dadâ I whisper placing my elbows on the table and leaning in toward him.
âYour mother was the princess when I met her. During our time, her father was the king and my father acted as his betaâ Wow! I could have never guessed that.
âI was not raised in the royal pack like everyone else, but when I shifted, Dad forced me to come here and that was when we realized we were soulmatesâ
Her lineage came from the original lycans I think you can tell be trans
LOVE ME AGAIN, MATE
VEME
introduced me to her father, he immediately took a liking to me and decided I would succeed him alongside his daughterâ
âWe started attending royal school and two years later, we graduatedâ
âThe was an attack on the royal family, I think you have heard about it. Leoâs grandfather challenged the king to the throne and after he was defeated, the king banished him and his familyâ
âThe king was poisoned two days later with one of his maids and he together with his wife died that nightâ
âAs his successor, we took over but since then, there has been challenge after challenge. People thought because I was not of royal blood I was unfit to rule them and many wanted to take me down for itâ
âEven when I lost you, they took that moment of weakness to throw me out but I believe the goddess is just. I defended the throne and I never stopped lookingâ
âIs that why you donât have help around?â I motion to his mansion and he nods. People come twice a week to clean the house but aside from that, dad does most of the things by himself. Even grocery shopping.
âAnd I think you should practice the same sweetheart, Imagine having half of the guards betray you, what worse do you think they can do?â
âYou already shifted and I want you to be very careful of who you associate with, especially at school. Remember, no one should be trustedâ âOkay Fatherâ.
âNow go see your mate, sometimes When we say we want space, we donât usually mean itâ I chuckle quickly getting up. I hope he is right.
