Chapter 36: The Flames
Emery
I peeped out of the entrance door and saw three brooding figures clad in black cloaks. I froze as I leaned against the door.“What are we going to do, dad?” I asked helplessly.
“Let’s have Arlo get to safety first, then will take it from there.” My father was also anxious, but he put up a brave facade.
I went to Arlo’s sleeping figure and gently woke him up. I felt bad as he was rubbing his eyes out of tiredness, but we had no other choice.
“Mommy’s sorry for waking you up, but do you want to play with mommy right now?”
Arlo looked up, confused. “Play?”
“Yes, let’s see who can hide for the longest time, okay.” I carried him up to our room and placed him in the walk-in closet. I kneeled in front of him and gently smoothed out his hair.
“If you hide here until mommy comes and gets you, I’ll make sure to buy you any

EmeryArlo was fine now, munching on some chips that I bought from a lady passing by. We boarded a train bound for Lucia County, where the Blood Shadow pack resides. I turned away from Arlo to hide my tears. I looked at the swiftly passing trees instead and wondered what it would be like if dad was with us right now.I shook my head and tried to smile. He’s probably in a better place now, holding my mom in his arms and finally living the life that they always wanted to live. I glanced towards Arlo. I have my own family now. It’s time for me to protect him with everything that I have, just like how my parents did for me.I saw him yawn through my peripheral vision, so I placed his head on my lap and let him fall into slumber. I looked at his peaceful sleeping face while I stroked his soft cheeks. I would do anything to let him keep this peaceful face of his. I would never allow anyone to ruin our family, even if it’s just the both

KairoI sighed as I opened my eyes from yet another sleepless night. I looked toward Amelia’s sleeping figure and wished that it was someone else instead. It’s been about four years since she left, but she’s all I could ever think of. Is this the consequence of my selfishness four years ago? If I wasn’t so stubborn, would I have been happier now?A lot of questions still linger in my mind— Has she been doing well? Is she living a better life now? Does she have someone else who holds her in her sleep?The last question made my head hurt, so I got up from bed and splashed my face with cold water. I didn’t bother waking Amelia up. I just went downstairs to the kitchen to have my usual breakfast.I thought about what happened during the past few days. Amelia and I’s child, Devyn, just celebrated his 4th birthday, and it’s one of the rare moments where I felt genuinely happy. I might feel indiffere

EmeryI sneezed upon waking up; the dust on the ceiling must have fallen while we were sleeping. I looked at Arlo’s cute sleeping figure and brushed the dust away from his face.We have a lot to do today. First, we have to get the house cleaned up, then we have to go to the mall to buy some clothes and other necessities, and after that, I need to find a babysitting service that can look after Arlo while I try to hunt for a job.But before any of that, I need to cook some breakfast for the both of us. It’s a good thing that I’ve packed some dry pancake batter; otherwise, we wouldn’t have anything to eat this morning.I went down quietly to the kitchen so as to not wake Arlo up. Then after cooking some pancakes, I gently shook him awake so we could start the day.We finished eating our breakfast, and Arlo was now sitting on my lap, playing with a Rubik's cube that he was able to pocket before we left our old hou

EmeryToday was Arlo’s first day in the daycare center, and he was excitedly munching on his cereal next to me. I stroked his hair.“Are you excited?”He tried to calm down and hide his excitement, but I could see the slight shine in his eyes.“No, mommy. I’m cool.” He responded.I giggled. When did this young boy learn how to be cool? He surprises me more and more each day. How can a four-year-old read the situation?“Yeah, sure. You’re the coolest of them all.” I carried him and twirled him around while he pouted with his mouth full.“Don’t do that anymore, mommy. I’m a big boy now. I don’t need to be carried.”I didn’t let him down but instead showered his face with kisses. “Arlo will never grow up. He’ll always be mommy’s little baby.”He frowned and muttered, “I’m not a baby.&r

Kairo“Where are you going off to again?” I asked, tired from pulling an all-nighter because of the pack’s paperwork.“Out,” Amelia answered coldly, not even bothering to look back at us.Devyn and I were currently eating breakfast when Amelia, who was all dressed up, passed us and drank water. She didn’t even acknowledge our presence, and by the looks of it, she was going somewhere again.“Didn’t you promise Devyn yesterday that you’d bring him to his new school? It’s even his first day, so why are you going out?”She sighed, “You take him.”I looked at her in disbelief. “What? But I already took the day off yesterday to take care of his enrollment! I even gave you the chance to meet with your friends so you can accompany him today.”I looked toward Devyn and saw that he wasn't eating his breakfast anymore. His eyes were loo

Emery“No, wait for me! Take me back.” Cindy, the little girl who I was playing dolls with, said while chasing my doll with hers.“It’s your fault. I will never go back to you!” I replied and made my doll run faster.We were currently acting out a scene wherein the ex-boyfriend runs after the girl she rejected when they were younger. I don’t know what came over this little girl, but she said she wanted to reenact a scene in a movie that she watched with her mom.However, this time, instead of the girl just running away, the couple actually gets back together.I don’t know what type of movies an 8-year old watches with her mom, but I certainly did not expect to break out into acting so early in the morning.I guess this is still better than playing with mud with the boys outside.I watched, amused, as Cindy followed my doll and tried to hug her. Since her wish was to get th
The Alpha's Hidden Child Chapter 43: The Denial
EmeryWe fell into an awkward silence once again as we sipped from our teacups at the same time. I don’t know why, but I was quite disappointed with his answer. For some reason, I was hoping that Amelia’s pregnancy was a whim and Devyn wasn’t his child.I was actually quite surprised when he confirmed that Devyn is his son because they don’t resemble each other at all. While Kairo had cold blue eyes and dark hair, Devyn had light blonde hair and honey-colored eyes. The child didn’t even look like Amelia, his eyes were wide, and his lips were small, different from Amelia’s sharp eyes and wide lips.Shit, why am I thinking like this? Why am I analyzing their family? I should be happy for the both of them since they’re still together after a long time.“That’s great,” I answered after a long time. I glanced at the two children playing on the floor and smiled. “He looks like a good kid

Emery“What are you doing here, Kairo?”He scratched the back of his head and looked at me sheepishly, “Uhm, I followed my mom here because she’s been going out frequently these days. She always says that she has some important matter to attend to, and I wanted to see it for myself. I didn’t expect to find you here as well.”I looked at Luna Lilinana for help. I hope that she can get my signal and send her son home.She went beside me and said, “Okay, now that you see what I’ve been up to, then you can go home.” She tried to push Kairo out of the door, but that really wasn't possible because Kairo’s strength was incomparable to hers. “Don’t be a stubborn child and go do your work. Don’t you have a lot of work to do?”He shook his head, “No, I don’t really have much work today because I finished them all last night. I think that I can stay here f
