He stared at me like he didn’t do anything wrong, not one speck of guilt on his face.
“My throat doesn’t feel too good,” he replied me in a cold and calm tone.

“If you couldn’t hold it, you could have easily left the room. I mean you saw that I was on the phone, that would have been the cordial thing to do.” I tell him. I mean I know it’s his house but I’m so angry right now, I know Xavier and he isn’t going to let this go, he is going to pepper me for answers until I can’t say no anymore.
His gaze turned cold all of a sudden upon hearing my words. “It’s my house Miss Edmund, you are the guest here. So I can do whatever I want.” he says to me, still keeping his calm exterior.
“You… you clearing your throat at that moment, whether you meant to or not, it has caused a big problem for me. I mean what if he thinks that I’m spending the night with a man?” I ask him, I mean he has kids too and I’m very sure he doesn’t parade his harem of women around them, at least I hope not.
Wearing a grim look, he approached me slowly and it took everything in me not to step back, his precence was intimidating and being an Alpha it was only normal for people to bow to him.
“Isn’t it true that you’re staying over at a man’s place? I mean I’m a man and you’re spending the night at my place, so I don’t see the problem or confusion there and also it’s really none of my business.” He says.
“I swear he is the most insufferable man that I have ever met. I hated the fact that I get “You…”

“But I have to say Miss Edmund, your standards in naming are truly questionable. The nickname you come up with for your boyfriend is cheesy enough. I didn’t take you for the type, I mean you’re always so serious.” He says.
He really had to go there didn’t he? Also was he trying to say that someone like me couldn’t love? Also what boyfriend? I call my son sweetheart, what’s so wrong with that?
Then it clicks, he has no idea that I was talking to my son, he thinks I was talking to my boyfriend.
He had turned around and continued walking and I thought that I should correct him but I

held myself back. He was no one to me, I didn’t owe him the courtesy of explaining myself to him, so he could think whatever he wanted to, it was none of my concern. I was here for Franklin and Sophia and that was it.
He led me to the guest bedroom. “This is your room for the night, if you need anything just use the landline and one of the staff will attend to you.” He tells me and before I can even thank him, he walks out of the room, slamming the door behind him.
What the hell is his problem now?

I fell asleep listening to the sound of raindrops.
In the middle of the night, the storm finally rolled in and a bolt of lightning flashed across the dark clouds, followed by a clap of rumbling thunder.
“N–No!” I screamed as I woke up from my sleep..
I stared out the windows, at the storm anxiously after being woken up by the sound of thunder, I’ve never been a big fan of storms and it only got worse after I lost
my mother.
Feeling short of breath, I placed my hand on my chest while breathing heavily.
The thunder brought back those unpleasant memories, from whe my mother had passed away on a stormy night. Before her passing, she had asked me to go to Moon Shadow Pack to find Yara, wanting to see Yara for the very last time before she died.
Alas, despite standing at the door in the storm, I did not get to see Yara at all.
In the end, my mother’s last wish remained unfulfilled.
Moreover, I had missed the chance to say my final words to my mother because I was waiting blindly outside the Alpha’s residence at that time.
When I finally rushed to the hospital, it was too late–my mother had taken her last breath.
From then on, an insurmountable amount of pain would strike me on every stormy night. It was so painful that it hurt every time I drew breath.
Curling up into a ball, I hid in the corner of the bed and trembled with fear.
When there was a strom, I would usually have Xavier and Clayton in my bed and they would cuddle with me and tell me all sorts of funny stories to make me calm amd take my mind away from the storm. But I didn’t have my boys here with me.

S–Should I go to Franklin and Sophia? Perhaps they are afraid of thunder as well! Then, we can cuddle together for the night!
At the thought of it, I rushed to the kids‘ room without any hesitation, I still thankfully remembered my way there from this morning. But when I got there, to my disappointment, Franklin and Sophia were sleeping like a log, completely undisturbed by the storm.
Looks like I’m the only one in the house who’s afraid of thunder.
Left with no choice, I closed the door and headed back to her room. All of a sudden, a bang of thunder broke the silence. Panic–stricken, I quickly squatted down and covered my ears.
In a flash, the searing pain flooded my heart once again, filling my heart with emptiness and despair.
Suddenly, a pair of pajama covered legs appeared in front of me.
Startled, I moved my gaze from the pair of slippers to the legs, waist, chest, and finally, her gaze landed on the man’s stunning face.
Alpha Samuel Bowers.
After taking Natalie to the guest room, I returned to my bedroom and went through some documents before going to bed as usual.
However, half an hour later, all I managed to read was a single page.
“Damn it!” I shouted as I threw the documents of my table.
Why couldn’t I get her off my mind, I mean the woman was such an enigma.
Her eyes and her scent was the same as the woman I saw at the Cafe, the only difference was their face.
I was so sure that woman wasn’t Yara, I mean she behaved differently, for one, if I’d I kissed Yara she definitely wouldn’t be complaining about us having an audience.
That’s why I gave her that mark, but Ms. Edmund didn’t have that mark. So I’m guessing either that was really Yara or it was a whole different person.
I’m so confused, my feelings are going haywire and all this started when Ms. Edmund walked into my life.
But how is it possible that Natalie and the woman at the cafe seem to provoke the same feelings in me?

Reminiscing about her tender lips, I felt a gush of warmth flowing through my veins at once.
Thunder struck and the windows shook and I stepped outside to check on the kids when I found the most surprising sight.
“What are you doing out here Miss Edmund?”
