Chapter 92

“Sophia,” Zade said confidently, and I was surprised that he knew.

“You know about her?”

“I know she disappeared six years ago under mysterious circumstances, when she was supposed to get married to Alpha Marcus who mysteriously died after the so called “birth” of Riley. I know she was Xenois’s first love, and I know she’s recently returned to Silver Creek.

I also know that her return has caused quite a stir in the supernatural community.”

“How do you know all this?”

“Because I make it my business to know everything that happens in neighboring territories, especially when it might involve other packs and as someone who has the closest boundary to Silver Creek. It’s my duty to be kept abreast of such things to avoid being

blindsided.”

I felt a chill run down my spine. “You think she’s a threat?”

“I think a woman who disappears for six years and then suddenly returns with a child claiming to be fathered by a mated Alpha is either very brave or very stupid. And from what I’ve heard about Sophia Kingston, she’s anything but stupid.”

“What else have you heard?”

“That she’s been making claims about her son’s parentage. That she’s been causing friction between mated pairs.” His voice hardened at this as he continued speaking. “And now I’m hearing that she’s managed to convince your mate to pick her as a better choice for a partner, disregarding the fact you are officially his Luna.”

“That’s not exactly-”

“Isn’t it?” Zade interrupted. “Lumina, I’ve been watching the situation in Silver Creek for weeks. I’ve seen the reports, heard the rumors that have been spreading around, and nobody is stopping it. I don’t know if the rumors aren’t getting to his ears or if the information he gets is highly filtered but Sophia is a dangerous woman who has your mate on her thumb. Your mate is making increasingly erratic decisions, and they all seem to center around this woman.”

son.”

The truth of his words hit me like a physical blow as I drew a shaky breath and continued speaking.

“I don’t know what to do, Zade. I feel like I’m losing him, losing everything I’ve built. And I can’t even leave to protect myself and my

“Then don’t lose him,” Zade said firmly. “Fight for him. Fight for your family.”

“I tried that in my-” I stopped myself before I could say ‘past life. “I tried fighting for him before. It only made things worse.”

“Then maybe it’s time to try a different approach.”

“What do you mean?”

…

“I mean maybe it’s time to stop fighting for a man who doesn’t appreciate what he has, and start fighting for yourself. For your son.

For your own happiness.”

I felt tears threatening again. “I can’t just abandon my mate. I still..God I can’t believe I’m saying this but I love him still”

“I’m not asking you to abandon him. I’m asking you to consider that maybe he’s already abandoned you.”

The words hit me like a slap, but I couldn’t deny their truth. “Even if that were true, I can’t leave. The territorial restrictions-”

“Can be challenged,” Zade finished. “I’ll send a formal letter today, requesting permission to visit Silver Creek on diplomatic business. It will give me a legal reason to be in the territory, and I’ll be around in the vicinity to see you.”

“Zade, you can’t-”

“I can and I will,” he said firmly. “You’re under my protection now, whether you realize it or not. And if Xenois has a problem with

that, he can take it up with me directly.”

I felt both relieved and terrified at his words. “This is dangerous. If Xenois finds out we’ve been talking-*

“Let him find out,” Zade said coldly. “Maybe it will remind him that he’s not the only Alpha in this region, and that his actions have

consequences.”

“When will you come?”

“I’ll be there within the week. But Lumina, I need you to promise me something.”

“What?”

“If things get worse, if he threatens you or your son in any way, you call me immediately. Don’t wait for formal procedures or try to solve it yourself. Just call me.”

I swallowed hard, knowing that accepting his protection meant crossing a line I could never uncross. “I promise.”

“Good. And Lumina?”

“Yes?”

“You’re not alone in this. Whatever happens, whatever you decide, you have options. You don’t have to stay trapped in a situation

that’s destroying you.”
