I didn’t know why I did all that, why I acted all possessive in there with Ciara. But I didn’t regret it, and the more I said it, the more it made sense and sounded damn right to me.

Now that we’re bonded, there’s truly no going back. She does belong to me.

I still have a lot of second thoughts about her, like over if she could be trusted for example. But at this point, It was clear she was my fated mate and I’d rather not fight it anymore. And even though I’m still disappointed she’s a human, after the amount of expectations I had this whole time after that certain prophecy, I’ve decided that I’ll accept her. I made that decision before I bit her last night. For our son’s sake, this was even better.

As I made my way down the hallway, I realized that even though I wasn’t sure if how I’ll actually introduce a human to my pack members as their new Luna, I realized that I wasn’t too bothered by that like I would have on a normal day, thanks to the conversation I had with Ethan last night.

I found Ethan waiting in my office. He was sitting in my seat, grinning at me. I looked around as I spoke.

“What’s the important thing I’m needed for?” I asked as I stepped in and closed the door after me. He rose to his feet and walked around.

“There’s nothing; actually. Nothing that we couldn’t handle ourselves, but I was wondering when you’ll finally come out to update me on what’s happened so far between you too.” He revealed and I scowled at him, irritation slamming in my chest, cause I’d rather be back in the ivory room, holding Ciara as she falls asleep. That thought caught me off guard cause I wasn’t the kind of person to ever do that. In face, last night I told myself I did all that because her life and mine were on the line, so what the hell was that thought just now?

“You fool, why would you make up an issue when there’s none?” I snapped but Ethan huffed.

“There’s one and it’s actually about Erica, but we already took care of it.”

My brows furrowed. “What did she do?”

“What went down between you and Ciara last night? Aside from fucking, that is… because you reek.”

I sniffed at myself before snorting that he wasn’t lying. I smelted so strongly of a female’s arousal. But he was wrong, we didn’t fuck despite all of that and it still shocked me that I was able to control myself in the midst of all that. Right now, the urge to return back there and fuck her was sitting heavily in my chest.

“Nothing happened like you’ve assumed. We’re now bonded though. I ended up biting her.”

Ethan cracked a pleased looking grin. “Ah, I knew you’d do that. I’m so pleased to hear this. So what are you gonna do on moving forward?”

I rolled my eyes at how gleeful he sounded right now. “Isn’t it obvious enough? I’ll have to end things with Erica because clearly we can’t get together anymore and it’s pointless to still have her around.”

Ethan sighed. “Oh, thank fuck. Finally.”

Damn. I had no idea he liked her this much.

“Did Erica do something last night or this morning?” I inquired and he nodded.

“She sneaked into Sarah’s room this morning.” He revealed and my hackles instantly stood.

“What?” I echoed. That was the room my son slept in last night.

“Yeah, and Sarah raised an alarm quickly. There was a blade in Erica’s grip when we arrived there and who knows what she’d have done if we hadn’t arrived when we did? Kai was asleep throughout though. Of course, she denied all accusations of wanting to harm your son,”

I felt hot anger swell in my chest instantly, just as a strong feeling of worry clouded my mind. I feel so protective of Kai and would literally kill anyone who so much as hurts a hair on his head.

“Where the fuck is Erica?” I barked sharply.

Erica was in her room, Ethan has ordered for her to be locked in there untik I arrived and I felt relieved and grateful that I had such an efficient beta that I could always rely on. When I stepped into Erica’s room, she was on her feet instantly.

“Baby!” She rushed towards me fast while a sob filled the room, a sound which I never saw through our time together cause it never crossed my mind that she wasn’t a good person. As soon as she was in front of me, I grabbed her throat hard and herbed her closer while she instantly began to cough, her hand flying up to grip my wrist desperately.

“What’s going on?” She choked out through gasps, looking confused, hurt and afraid.

“Did you try to hurt my son last night?” I roared hard into bed face and she flinched, her body stiffening up before she shook her head fast while still choking and gasping for air.

“No! I’d never!” She cried out but I wasn’t buying that at all.

“Explain yourself before I snap your throat.” I barked and pointed at her after dropping my hand. She fell to the ground as she coughed hard, and tears rolled down her face when she faced me again.

“How would you even ask me that? You believe I could hurt anymore? Just because your betas have successfully fed you some stupid lies. Or did they get paid by Ciara to lie against me like this?” She cried out and when I growled and took a menacing step towards her, she cried out desperately and fell on her ass, then she crawled backward until her ass met the edge of her bed.

“I won’t ask you this again. Did you try to hurt my son? And why? To hurt Ciara? To get my attention? Why?!”

She choked out a cry while desperately shaking her head again. When I kept staring at her, she slowly began to speak.

“I was just gonna play with him if he was awake, that’s why I went to check in on him. I didn’t sneak in, I walked in like a normal person!”

“He doesn’t even like you! So how do you assume he’d wanna play with you at midnight? And you were with a blade at that!” I pointed out harshly and she shook her head fast once again.

“I was just gonna try my luck with him again, I swear. The blade I was holding coincidentally. I’d never hurt a child or anyone for that matter, why won’t you believe me?”

I kept staring at her, anger and disappointment whirling hard within me. Disappointment because I truly believed she could never hurt a fly, and now I just feel stupid as hell. And anger because what if she has truly hurt my son before Sarah managed to call for help?

“My son said you smelt wrong. Clearly he saw right through before I finally did,” I began to speak once again, holding a hand up when she attempted to cut in.

“And, there’s no point in you trying to sell more lies to me, Erica. I’ll just see right through them. Which is why I’ll now be ending things with you right now.”

She ducked in a sharp breath as she stiffened, gaping at me like she couldn’t believe her ears. After a few seconds, she leaned towards me and sniffed, then her face darkened as she bursted into a new round of tears.

“You smell strongly of that wrench. That’s why you’re breaking thighs with me, right? Not because you believe I wanted to hurt your son, but because of that fucking wrench.”
