MIA“Mom?!”I saw my mom sitting in a wheelchair just across the hospital road and a startled gasp left my lips.“No, Mia, you can't go there,” Ivan stated, blocking my path.A snarl left my lips as I glared at him, “That’s my mom! She's finally awake.”“But Leo will be looking for you in that hospital. We have to lay low here and wait for Javier to come get us,” Alfred said. “No! That's my mom who can explain everything that's happening to me,” I snapped. “But what about Leo?” Cassie squeaked out of fear. I felt a powerful feeling within me and I grinned, “I dare him to come find me.”Ivan looked startled as he glanced at me, “Oh dear.”Then I crossed the road just as the nurse was wheeling my mom back inside the hospital. “Mom!” I called out. The nurse stopped and my mom looked at me, a happy smile breaking on her face. “My little bird!” she exclaimed happily. I laughed, falling into her arms. I’d almost forgotten the name she normally calls me. “Mom, I missed you!” I cried.
MIA“Mia, come back!” my mom’s voice rang out in the hallway as I ran out of the room, my eyes filled with tears. “It can't be,” I kept muttering as I was running. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I blindly ran through the hallways, colliding with patients, doctors, and nurses. I didn't even care that Leo could be there or he could harm my mother – she just admitted that she wasn't, so what should I call her?‘You should have given her time to explain herself,’ Lynn whispered in my ears. ‘Shut up!’ I snapped at the voice in my mind.Tears streamed down my face, blurring my vision as I ran toward the small garden at the back of the hospital. If what my mom has just admitted to was correct then Javier and his brother were right and my entire existence has been a lie. I couldn't even begin to imagine where I would go from here. ‘Stop jumping to conclusions so quickly!’Lynn snapped in my head. I ignored her as I sat down on the bench, staring at the flowers around me. This was wher
JAVIERI woke up to the worried faces of my father and the doctor as I frowned and sat up on the desk I had been placed on. “What happened?” I asked, massaging my temples. My father heaved a sigh of relief and attempted to hug me. I gave him a scathing gaze and he seemed to realize what he had been about to do. “Sorry, I'm just glad you didn't die,” he smiled at me sheepishly. My eyes narrowed into slits as my gaze hardened, “Die? What is that supposed to mean?”My father shrugged and the doctor seemed reluctant to speak. I sighed and stood up from the table grabbing my shirt. They had stripped me of my shirt and Tuxedo when I woke up. “Where’s Ivan? Since nobody wants to tell me what the hell is going on I'm sure he can tell me,” I hissed in disbelief.“Son, calm down. You fainted and there's a chance you might pass out again,” my father finally spoke. I scoffed at him, “I don't have fainting spells, Dad. I'm a strong Alpha male, not a puny weakling.”My dad chuckled while the
JAVIERI stared at my father as a look of familiarity passed between him and Mia’s mother and a surprised look showed on his face. “By the goddess, Laura, you haven't aged a day!” my father exclaimed. I frowned, exchanging a surprised look with Mia before staring at my father, “Do you two know each other?” Bastien nodded, surprise mixed with disbelief on his face. “Yes, it was a long time ago.”“How long?” Mia asked, her curiosity piqued. “Twenty-one years ago and recently three years ago,” Mia’s mom, Laura answered. My frown deepened as I stared at Bastien, my brows furrowed in a frown, “Were you having an affair while Mom was fighting for her life?” “What? No, that's not what happened. I he…” Bastien interrupted Laura sharply, “There’s no need to revisit the past, Laura, we weren't having an affair and that's it.”“But your son just accused you of…”He interrupted her again, “They’ve accused me of worse. Don't worry, he’ll get over it.”“What's worse than being accused of hav
BASTIEN“Why are you taking me away from the children, Bastien?” Laura’s questions drew me out of my subconscious mind. I stopped wheeling her and looked around my surroundings certain that even if Javier was following us he wouldn't be able to eavesdrop. We were in the hospital hallway filled with patients, nurses, and doctors. Everywhere was noisy and it was the perfect setting for me to talk with Laura. “I just wanted us to talk in a safe space,” I finally answered her question. She looked around and burst into laughter as I sat down on the bench beside her wheelchair. “A safe space? This is a very noisy environment,” she chuckled. “That’s why it’s perfect,” I grinned, “It’s been so long, Laura.”“So long indeed. And you're still cagey,” Laura noted. I laughed, “I’m just being careful.”“What happened between you and your son?” she asked. I sighed, I knew eventually that question would come up but I wasn't ready to fully answer it. “It’s occasionally bickering,” I answered
MIA“Ivan lost his mate that day and you both lost your mom,” I stated quietly, staring at Javier’s sad eyes. He nodded, “I don't like to talk about it.”“I can see why. It’s very painful, now I know why Ivan is a douche,” I stated. Javier chuckled and I felt butterflies flutter in my belly at the thought of putting a smile on his face. “He wasn't so bad before but yeah, that's why he's been acting out a lot,” Javier agreed. I sighed, knowing that Bastien abandoned his family when they needed him most and must have hurt his sons. “Do you ever know the reason why he left?” I asked. Javier scowled, “There isn't any reason he could give me that would make me forgive him. He ruined our family the day he disappeared.”“My mom seems to know your father a lot,” I mused, tapping my jaw. Javier nodded, “Do you think she would tell us what she knows about Bastien?” I shrugged, “I don't think my mom knows much. She still hasn't found out I'm a werewolf.”Javier sighed, “When are you goin

A/N: THIS CHAPTER IS DEDICATED TO CYNTHIA WARD THANKS FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS AND COMMENTS.IVAN“What do you mean by that, Leo?” I asked my father who was locked in with Leo.Leo sneered as he glared at Bastien, “Why don't you ask your father?”I stared at Bastien, bile rising in my throat as I shuddered to think about what I had heard earlier. “Dad, is there something you wanna tell me?” I asked him, hoping that he would say something and not what Leo had just said. “It doesn't have anything to do with you, Son,” he answered. Leo scoffed before I could react, a look of disbelief in his eyes. “I can't believe you're lying to your son too,” Leo scoffed at Bastien. I noticed the tension between them as Bastien snarled at him, seeming to lose his cool around him. “Get out, Leo! Or else I'll make you regret it,” Bastien snarled. Leo laughed mockingly, “Do whatever you want, Bastien, I’ll always be in the shadows waiting for the right time to surface.”Leo walked away from the hospi
