CARLYLE’S POV

The next day dawned, casting a new light upon the pack’s territory as I and Sidonnie made our way to Sidonnie’s quarters to see Mason. The events of the previous night weighed heavily on our minds, and that has caused us to forget all about Mason all through.

“I trust you’ve sent the message as instructed?” I asked Donald through the mind link.

“Yes, I did. Let’s hope Rex receives it soon.” He replied.

“Good! Mind you, we need to keep what happened last night between us for now. We don’t want to cause

unnecessary panic among the pack.”

“Sure, that’s the best thing. I was about to say that as well.” He said and I stopped the conversation with him, focusing on Sidonnie who was by my side as we progressed to her quarters. I knew from her expression tat she was really worried.

“Let’s focus on Mason for now. We’ll deal with the rest when the time comes.” I placed my hand on Sidonnie’s shoulder assuringly and she flashed me a smile like she didn’t care about whatever happens but I saw right through her.

Together, we entered her quarters, our footsteps echoing softly in the silence of the morning mingling with the gentle hum of activity as maids bustled about, tending to their tasks. Each maid we passed offered a respectful nod or curtsy, acknowledging Sidonnie’s new position as their Luna.

“Good morning, Luna.” The first maid bowed respectfully.

“Good morning.” Sidonnie replied and that was how she replied every other maid we met.

good to see the maids carrying on as usual, It’s a sign of their acknowledgement.” I whispered to her.

Sidonnie nodded in agreement, but uttered something different from what I was expecting from her.

“I hope they’re not just faking it.” She said and I understood how that came about. The questions about her worth to be Moon Shadow’s Luna was really frequent before the elders finally agreed. The maids weren’t left out as they all gossiped about her then.

“Trust me, it will be all sincere soon even if it isn’t now. You can do it.” I said and she smiled.

Getting to Sidonnie’s quarters, Mason rushed into his room as soon as he noticed out presence, his small figure disappearing behind the door as he instructed the maids to keep everyone out and lock the door tightly. His words were filled with frustration and anger, leaving Sidonnie and I concerned.

Turning to the maid attending to Mason, Sidonnie sought answers, her concern evident in every line of her face.

“What’s wrong with Mason? Why is he so upset?”

“He fell asleep very late last night, Luna. And when he woke up, he was very angry. He wouldn’t talk to any of us, and it’s been difficult to care for him overnight. I won’t deceive you, Luna. Even, the way he slept was a miracle indeed. It was hell.”

My heart sank at the maid’s words as my worry for Mason grew with each passing moment.

“Thank you. I’ll take it from here.”

“Alright, Luna. Should I bring his meal?”

“He hasn’t eaten?” Sidonnie asked, surprised

“No, he hasn’t. Since yesterday evening, he has refused to touch his food and all attempts to feed him proved abortive.”

“Fine! Bring his meal.” Sidonnie instructed after we listened to the maid.

The maid nodded in understanding, grateful for Sidonnie’s intervention. As we walked closer to the Mason’s room door, Donnie prepared herself to face his anger, knowing that she must do whatever it took to ease his anger.

Sidonnie and I stood outside Mason’s door, knocking gently, calling out to Mason in the hopes of getting a response.

“Mason, it’s mum and dad? Can we come in?”

Silence greeted our pleas. The only sound that replied us was the muf fled echo of our voices against the closed door. Sidonnie’s brow furrowed with concern as she exchanged a worried glance with me.

“Mason, sweetheart, please open the door. We’re here for you.”

But still, there was no response, leaving us feeling helpless and unsure of how to proceed. With a heavy sigh, I placed a reassuring hand on Sidonnie’s shoulder, offering her a comforting squeeze.

“Perhaps we should give him some time, Donnie. He’ll come to us when he’s ready.” I suggested.

Just when we were about to leave, Mason’s voice broke the silence, as he spoke with hurt and frustration.

“You don’t need to see me. Just leave me alone!”

Donnie felt pained at Mason’s words, the pain evident in every syllable. Stepping closer to the door, I spoke softly.

“Mason, please, let us in. We want to talk to you.”

Mason’s silence was deafening, but I refused to give up. I pressed on, pleading.

“What’s wrong, son? Why are you so upset?” I asked, more or less like a query.

And then, finally, Mason’s voice broke through the barrier of silence, his words raw with emotion as I heard his so bs whike tears streamed down his cheeks.

“You ignored me yesterday! You didn’t play with me at all. You only cared about yourselves after the wedding!”

My heart shattered at his Mason’s words, he must have been expecting us all night but we couldn’t show up. We weren’t there when he needed us the most.

“Mason, I’m so sorry. Something unexpected came up, but we didn’t mean to ignore you. Please, believe us.” I explained, hoping to receive a positive response from him, but there was none.

“Please, Mason, open the door. Let us talk to you. We love you, and we want to make things right.”

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Mason’s voice came through, as he instructed the stand in maid inside with him to open the door.

“Open the door for them, Millie.”

With a click, the door unlocked, swinging open to reveal Mason’s tear-stained face. Sidonnie and I walked inside,

He was still in tears, his small frame wracked with s obs. Desperate to comfort him, we tried to persuade him to stop crying, but our efforts seemed to only make things worse.

“Mason, please don’t cry.

Everything will be okay.” Sidonnie cooed but it had no desired effect on him.

Mason’s tears only intensified at my words, his cries echoing off the walls of his room. Soon, I began to get frustrated by his attitude. What was he trying to prove? Several pleas, he didn’t want them, then what did he

want?

“Crying won’t solve anything, Mason. You need to learn to be strong, like a man.” I tried to reason with him, holding my anger in so I wouldn’t lash out at him.

Mason’s so bs only seem to grow louder at my words, his tear-stained face filled with confusion and hurt. And then, in a moment of clarity, he spoke up.

“But I’m not a man yet, Daddy.”

My heart ski pped a beat at my son’s words, as my frustration melted away as I realized the weight of what he said. Turning to Sidonnie, I glanced at her briefly before responding.

“Who told u

that, Mason?”

“My teacher at the pack academy. He said we’re all kids and shouldn’t do things that are meant for adults.” Mason’s response was immediate, as he replied innocently.

I couldn’t help but chuckle at Mason’s earnestness. Turning back to Mason, I offered him a reassuring smile.

“Your teacher is right, Mason. But you’re different. You’re a young Alpha, and that means you have to learn to be strong, even when things are tough.”

As my words sank in, Mason’s tears began to subside.

“Do you understand me, Mason?” I stared directly at his face as he nodded. “If you continue to be a crybaby, you won’t see my very well like you do now.”

Mason remained silent, his gaze fixed on Sidonnie. With his look, it was obvious what he wanted. I had been the one doing the talking and cooing while Sidonnie only looked on. Obviously he wanted something from her too.

Sensing his need for comfort, Donnie gently lifted him up, cradling him in her arms as she kissed his forehead.

“I’m sorry, Mason. I didn’t mean to ignore you. We’ll make it up to you, I promise.” Her voice was soft and soothing.

Mason’s anger slowly melted away as he leaned into her embrace. With a shaky breath, he made a request.

“Promise you’ll let me sleep with you both tonight in daddy’s bedroom?” He exchanged glances between I and his mother.

I and Sidonnie chuckled at his attitude and without hesitation, we nodded in agreement, knowing that nothing was more important than comforting our child.

“Of course, Mason. We’ll all sleep together tonight.”

Immediately, his face lit up with relief, his tears replaced by a smile as he descended from his bed, his small figure darting to a corner of the room. With a triumphant grin, he retrieved a drawing from its hiding place, proudly presenting it to us.

“Here, Mummy, Daddy. I made this for you. It’s my gift for your wedding yesterday.”

“Thanks, Mason. That’s thoughtful of you.”

With a warm hug, we thanked Mason for his gift. That way, he told us several tales about the previous days up till the wedding day and we laughed at his little demonstrations..

Till midday, we spent it together, playing games with him and I made use of the chance to evaluate how far he was in his studies.

Then, Donald mind linked me when it was almost when it was late afternoon.

“Rex is here.” He said.
