“We just felt the mate bond, and I’m not even married for love or a real relationship. I’m on the verge of leaving Silver, I’ve only stayed with her for my children. Why can’t we be together?” he asked.

The moment those words left his mouth, I froze. I hadn’t expected him to be that bold.

“Sorry, say that again. Maybe I didn’t hear you right,” I replied, forcing a smile through clenched teeth.

“The thing is, I’m not staying with her anymore. I want to be there for my children, to hear Elara call me daddy,” he continued.

At that point, I turned my head slightly, studying his face in disbelief as a distant memory surfaced, him once telling me he’d never let my child call him daddy.

I smiled faintly at the irony.

“I had my reasons for leaving you before,” he claimed, stepping closer.

I took a step back, crossing my arms over my chest.

“So, let’s hear it. What excuse did you have back then?” I questioned, watching him take a deep breath.

“When I was in bed with you, I got a call from my father and mother. They said there was a problem, someone was claiming to be pregnant with my child. I had no idea what they were talking about, but it was serious,” he paused while fixing his posture,

“I was afraid that if I didn’t go, they’d find me at your place, and that would put you in danger. You know how my parents were, how they still are. When they summoned me, I had no choice but to leave you that day. But I planned to come back. I meant to, until I got home and my father told me that an alpha’s daughter was pregnant with my child.” There was a little sigh that left his lips.

“My mother, in particular, threatened to end her life if I didn’t save them from disgrace. And then when you told me you were pregnant, I panicked,” he said, pausing.

By then, I already knew part of the story. I knew his mother hated me, but I’d never known why.

Every time she saw me, she would roll her eyes or throw a fit.

At any event Elgin included me in, if she was there, she would lose control.

I remembered it clearly, so I knew he wasn’t lying about that.

“Also, my mother had read your text, the one you sent me asking where I went after that night,” he went on, scratching the back of his neck and I gasped.

“She read my text?” I asked in shock.

“Listen, my mother controls everything. I didn’t know she had my password. She logged into all my accounts, checking for your messages after she blocked you. She made sure I couldn’t contact you. And remember, I was only eighteen or nineteen back then. I wasn’t crowned as alpha yet, and I was scared of her. I was scared she’d go to the council and get you in trouble. So I bowed my head and did what she said.” he restlessly shifted his body weight.

“But then your message came. When you told me you were pregnant, all I could think about was my mother finding you and hurting you. I had to push you away for your own safety because I was a coward who couldn’t

protect you. Then came the situation with Silver, they used it to control me. My mother threatened to tell you everything and make you see me as worthless. There was so much happening at once. I was just waiting to be crowned so I could finally make my own decisions. But you left before that,” he finished. (1

His words stunned me. I couldn’t believe how much his mother had despised me.

Realizing that so many people hated me was shocking. How had I even survived with so little awareness?

I had no instincts for survival.

I’d been walking right into the homes of people who despised me.

It all made sense now. Everything added up. Maybe the moon goddess had wanted me to leave, to escape the vicious plans of those waiting to destroy me.

“The thing is, we were all kids back then. But there’s one thing I can say for sure, I always liked you,” he confessed, making me narrow my eyes at him.

“It’s true. We talked about it as friends. Before sleeping with you, we were all curious after finding out you had a crush on us,” he continued, covering his face with his hands and rubbing it slowly. He was probably talking about the time they had read my diary.
