“He was erratic and running mad. My mate, who was the only family I had for over nine years, was losing his mind, and I couldn’t do anything to help him.
Unfortunately, one night while returning home from work, he was involved in a hit-and-run car accident and never made it out alive”
My heart broke for Cara, and I stood up to hug her a little. I squeezed her fingers, telling her she wasn’t alone.
The tears Cara had been holding back dropped in a straight line, and she quickly wiped them.
“After he died, I couldn’t take care of my son. I was doing menial jobs, working in the pack house to raise money for food. That’s when I met Kingsley; he had come to see the alpha of my pack, and I happened to be working that day. The moment we locked eyes, we called each other mates.
When I found out he was an alpha and a widower, I didnt waste time. I took my son amd came with him, hoping to give him a better life than anything he had ever had.
I made up my mind to do anything possible to make my son the alpha and not Theo, who was the alpha’s beloved heir.
Theo was weak and unstable, which made it easier to exclude him.
I almost succeeded in making Lucien the alpha, but it turned out he didn’t have the alpha genes. That wasn’t a problem for me; I wanted him as Alpha regardless, but Kingsley refused to risk the pack’s safety.
In the end, Theo was made Alpha but I wasn’t happy with the decision, same as Lucien”
Once she stopped narrating her story, Cara focused her attention on me and I suddenly wondered why she was telling me this.
Cara took my hands into hers, staring straight into my eyes. She had emerald eyes and they are very pretty and intimidating.
“Look, Elara” she spoke holding my hands. “My baby has suffered a lot in this lifetime and the last thing I want is for him to go through that kind of pain again.”
“What are you trying to say, Cara” I was confused.
She shifted in her seat and let go of my hands, I shifted in my seat as well.
“Lucien has always had a thing for you,” she said and I was bewildered. “I was too busy trying to make things work in our favour that I didn’t notice what he was going through. When you left the first time, with that bastard, Miguel, he almost lost his mind.”
What? My eyes popped up in shock. How could that be?
Lucien and I had nothing to do with each other back then, I barely knew him.

“What are you talking about?” I asked, squinting my eyes. “Lucien and I barely knew each other then”
“Thats what you think, Elara” Cara mouthed. “Its not my story to tell but I need you to listen. Lucien is working towards getting his rights back, if you can’t support him at least dont ruin his chances.” Cara was desperate and I could tell how much this means to her but it’s not my fault. Is it?
“I dont know what you’re talking about but id know that I’m not a distraction to Lucien. Moreover, he’s in a far away city”
“Thats the problem!” Cara snapped. “Lucien was devoted to you for years and here you are still running after Theo, who doesn’t give a hoot about you!”
My eyes widened in surprise, Cara had never spoken to me like that before.
She was always so gentle and supportive of me. I wonder where this was coming from.
“Dont worry, I will stay out of Lucien’s way” I said. “My goal is to get Theo back and if Lucien wants to get position, I dont mind. Everyone should do what makes them happy”
Cara nodded, she wasn’t satisfied but she didn’t argue.
“I’m not asking you to stay away, Elara” Cara spoke. “I was just trying to beg you not to treat him badly”
“Its not my intention to hurt him. I just so happened to love Theo” I said.
“Alright, let’s forget about this for now. We can talk more later” Cara said and looked around. “Everyone is preparing to go to Nightshade, have you decided what games you want to play yet?”
I looked around and indeed, they were moving trucks around.
“I don’t know,” I shrugged, uninterested. “Maybe cheerleading, I might consider that”
“That sounds like so much fun, you should totally go for it!” Cara urged me, and I smiled.
She was a strong person. A moment ago, she was worried about her son and now she was cheering for me.
I wondered why fate treated a woman like her so badly,
“Okay, I will try” I said. “What about you?”
the
“Well, I can’t go to Nightshade with you all” she said and I looked at her. “Kingsley isn’t going, I can’t go there without him, it will be awkward. Moreover, this is my chance to stir things up in Theo’s absence. So, enjoy the trip and snatch Theo away from Kaia”
Cara stood up, patted my shoulder and left.
I watch her leave, and a lot of questions boggled my mind about what she said about Lucien and me.
Nevermind, I was going to ask Lucien when I get the chance.
I stood up and left the place, I went outside and when I stepped out, I saw Kaia leaning in on Theo, tiptoeing
