 "You're not my daddy!"

Dakota shouts angrily, his little nose scrunched up in fury.

Jack’s heart rate rises, his fingers tightly gripping the steering wheel.He’s just a kid.He doesn’t know any better, — I explain.

Natalia probably never told him about us.This is all your fault! Jack snarls return.

If I had only taken control earlier, our son would know who his father is! 

"Dakota," Jack says through a forced smile.

"Dakota, I am your daddy.Your mommy and I got married-"

"No!"

Dakota refuses, shaking his head with conviction.

"No, Zane is my daddy.Only daddies kiss mommies and Zane kisses mommy all the time and they play games like Horsey in the Desert and they sleep together even when mommy farts on the bed and makes it all stinky.And-and my daddy is a superhero fighting bad guys.I wanna be just like my daddy.Who in the f**k is Zane!? I snarl, Jack straining to control his anger.

Jack looks back at Dakota, a very tight smile on his lips as he asks through gritted teeth, "Who is Zane?"

"My daddy," Dakota snaps, tapping his thumb against his forehead.

"And who is your Daddy?" Jack asks, barely hanging on to his patience.

"Zane,"

Dakota huffs Knowing Jack is about to explode, I remind him that our son is only four to calm him down.

"Tell me more about Zane," he says with forced enthusiasm.

"No!"

Kota snaps, pulling his hands towards himself and bending his fingers.He then taps on his thumb to his forehead.

"I want my daddy! I want my daddy right now!’

 "ZANE IS NOT YOUR DADDY! I AM!"

Jack roars.

"NOOOOO!"

Kota screams, kicking his legs and swinging his hands violently.

"ZANE IS MY DADDY."

"’M YOUR DADDY!"

Jack growls, his foot stepping on the gas pedal.

"He’s not your daddy! I am! I am your only daddy and you are going to stay with me forever! We are going to be the family we were meant to be and you are never going to see Zane again!"

"NO!"

Dakota says before suddenly howling at the top of his lungs.

"SHUT UP!"

Jack snarls but Dakota continues to howl with rage.

"My daddy is a wolf!,"

he cries.

"And he’s going to eat you! Having lost all of his patience, Jack pulls the car over down a secluded road, stepping out of the car and storming over to Kota’s side.”

He pulls at the car door but it appears Dakota has locked the door.

"Open the door!"

Jack snarls, Dakota wiping his nose and shaking his head.

"I’m going to count to three and you better f*****g open this door!"

Dakota bursts into tears once more and screeches at the top of his lungs as Jack counts down.

"One....

TWO..."

Before Jack gets to three, he unlocks the door with the car fob and slams it open, Dakota attempting to crawl away.

Enraged, Jack grabs him by the ankles and drags him back to the edge of the seat, flipping him over on his back.

Dakota thrashes violently as Jack lifts him up by the collar of his shirt.

"Listen to me, you little s**t.Listen to me!"

Jack snarls, giving Kota a good shake so that boy stares back at us in fright.

"I am going to kill that little Daddy of yours so you better get used to never seeing him again! You are my pup and that’s -"

He stops dead in his tracks when Dakota’s shorts suddenly darken and a stream of warm urine trickles down his legs and onto my jeans and shoes.

There is a defiant pout on Dakota’s face, angry tears rolling down his cheeks as he growls back at us.

All Jack sees is red as he sets the kid down on the seat and he begins to frantically remove my belt, folding it in half and gripping it tightly in one hand.

Sensing danger, Dakota tries to scramble away but he is no match for Jack who grabs him by the wrists.

The little boy tries to wriggle free but Jack only tightens his grips and begins to slap the back of Dakota’s legs with the leather belt.

Dakota yelps and writhes with every lick, crying for his daddy to come save him.

"Mommy!" he screams, his cries growing desperate with the sting of the belt.

"Daddy help me!"

"I’m your daddy! Do you hear me?!"

Jack snarls, beating his legs until his hand begins to hurt.

"I’m your daddy!"

Having taken out his frustration on the child after a few licks, Jack removes Dakota's wet shorts, revealing red welts around his butt cheeks and the back of his thighs.

Leaving him only in his underwear, Jack forces Dakota into the seat and buckles him in.

By the time Jack is finished and he settles back behind the wheel, beads of sweat slither down the sides of my face and his angered breath is labored.

In the back seat, Dakota continues to cry softly to himself, wiping his small tears with his shirt.

"Are you done?"

Jack snarls, Dakota saying nothing and looking out the window as he hiccups.

Putting the car in drive, Jack races down the road.

Kota whimpers the faster we travel but Jack ignores him, having had enough of the pup for the day.

Where are you going? I ask him when we drive past the pack territory entrance.

To the old cabin, Jack replies.

Your father is still looking for your mother and the last thing I need right now is to be questioned about the kid I just brought home.

So what is the plan? lask, Jack pulling out my phone.

We ensure Natalia knows I have our pup, he replies, searching up Brody’s number in his contacts.

Brody’s phone has been sending me its location since he left.

I Thephone reads California and a satisfied smile curls on my lips.

Brody is currently in California which can only mean Jordan is with Natalia and is hiding her from me.

He dials Jordan's number, his fingers impatiently tapping on the steering wheel as the phone rings on the other end.

After a few moments, Jordan picks up.

"Bring me my Tiny," Jack snarls into the phone.

"And don’t you dare lie to me.I know you’re with her," he growls, the sound of shuffling on the other side.

"If you hurt him,"

Natalia warns, the sound of her voice making my heart skip a beat.

"If your hurt my baby, I’ll ki- "I won’t," Jack says, softening his voice.

"Just come home.Please.I promise, we'll be a family again."

There is a long pause on the other side and I check my phone to make sure I still have service when Natalia’s voice comes through.

"I want to hear his voice,"

Natalia says, her voice stern and unyielding.I look over my shoulder at the pup lulling himself to sleep.

"He’s sleeping," I shake my head.

"I don’t care! Let me hear his voice!"

"Fine!"
