Chapter 51

Ana.

The rest of the drive to the Silver Pack remains silent as everyone is immersed in their own thoughts.

For a long time, I have always wondered what it would feel like to have a mother. Funny enough, the universe played a sick trick on me by delivering her wholly to me.

That woman is sick. I can’t believe she would choose power over her mate and daughter. She wants to be the one in control. I would love to see the man she replaced my father with.

In the little time I have spent with my dad, I have learned that he is a desirable man. Noah is kind, and down to earth. A clean soul who sticks to his morals. Is it perhaps why she chose to go against him? Because she can’t control him?

He didn’t deserve that kind of betrayal and no matter what I have to do, I have to find him. It doesn’t matter how far I have to go to locate the witches. My dad must be saved at all costs.

“We will find him” Jace whispers wrapping his arms around my shoulders and I lean into him with a sigh.

“Any news on, Lily?” I ask, playing with the buttons on his shirt. Jace stares down at me with a sigh and shakes his head.

“Nothing so far. Chase rejected her and she accepted his rejection. She must be with Leo for all I know, or perhaps your mother might know her whereabouts” Jace mutters.

“Probably. Her scent was all over Liam. Hey, did you notice the other scent on our son?” I sit upright and completely face him. There was this strange scent when we found him and my son had mentioned that a bad man had taken him.

I still wonder though, why did this man let Liam go unharmed if they had ulterior motives? Did Leo suddenly change his mind about the throne? I can understand it though, that woman appears to be ruthless and it would be stupid if Leo decided to go against her.

“I don’t know Ana, but the scent was so familiar. I don’t know where I smelled it, but I surely recognize it” Jace deeply furrows his brows in thought but shakes his head afterwards.

“Do you have any clues? If we find this person, he might lead us to Leo and who knows if Leo is collaborating with that woman to hide my father” Hope flashes in my heart when I think about it. I can’t wait to see their faces when Dad walks back into the palace.

“I will try to remember. Come here” My mate pulls me back to him and I close my eyes listening to his heartbeat.

The silver pack comes into view and I finally sit up. I miss my little boy and I just want to hold him already. However, the tension around is immense. The always lively pack is quiet and I share concerned glances with Jace.

People slowly pave the way for the incoming cars and the worry in their eyes is visible.

“What is going on?” I carne my n*eck forward to ask to ask Fred.

“It’s all over the news. The queen is about to announce her King” Damon, Fred’s son answers showing us his phone. I gasp covering my mouth with my palm.

That woman is despicable.

No. She can’t do this to my father.

“Do you know who this man is?” I ask staring at the two men sitting in front of us.

“We are as clueless, princess. We will just wait to see who he turns out to be” Fred says and I nod leaning back in my chair.

The cars stop in front of the packhouse where most of the pack members are waiting. My eyes wander around until I spot Chase with liam in his

arms.

Goddess, I hate this. I hate leaving him behind every time. I trust his Jace’s father will take care of him but still, a baby needs his parents. I don’t wait for them to open my door. I do it myself and dash out to Chase’s direction.

“Mommy” Liam happily exclaims stretching his hands in my direction.

“Come here” I sigh in relief when I hold my son. I bury my face in his hair and deeply inhale. He is my only chance at being a mother and we need to make sure this power struggle ends soon so he will have a proper environment for growth.

“Mommy” Liam whispers, and I pull back to stare at him. He is so cute. His innocent eyes intently stare at me and I don’t know what his little

brain is thinking.

“Thank you, Chase” I turn to our childhood friend and my smile disappears at his worn-out form. It has only been a day but Chase looks like crap. “Are you okay?” I whisper staring at the dark circles around his

eyes.

“No” He whispers running his hand through his hair.” I thought it would be easy, Ana. But the matebond is f**king me up” He whispers and I nod in understanding. I have been there before and I know how much it hurts.

“Hey,” I gently take his hand and squeeze it. “It will get better, okay? It always does, Chase” I mutter and he quickly looks away so I won’t see the tears welling in his eyes. Lily is a b*tch.

“I will go to my room for a nap. Tell Jace I will see him later” Chase squeezes my hand and I nod watching him walk away.

“He is sad Mommy” Liam whispers, and I nod looking around for Jace.

“He will be okay, son. Let’s go to daddy” Jace is busy interacting with the pack members and we slowly trudge to him. He is standing next to El and talking to older couples.

“El” I call out and he quickly turns around with a smirk. He never changed.

“Oh! Finally” El moves forward for a hug but my excited boy stops us. “Daddy” Liam exclaims, wiggling in my arms until Jace takes him.” Daddy, you left me again” I stare at their interaction feeling so much jealous. He didn’t behave that way with me. Does this mean he won’t feel sad if I leave him?

“Hey, give me a hug” El chuckles as if he just read the turmoil in my mind.

“The queen is announcing her King” A loud voice from the house yells, and we sprint to the living room. The room is filled to the maximum but since the TV is as big as the wall, we can see clearly without straining.

Shit.
