Diana couldn't believe her ears. She kept pondering her thoughts over and over again.She felt restless and breathless. The last thing she wanted was to get acquainted with that woman, that person that had ruined her mate's life, Derek.But what was the purpose of such intensity to meet up with Elise? There must be something fishy about this and she could swear it. "Diana!!" Erica called out worryingly. She had changed different sitting positions waiting impatiently for Diana to at least say something.Diana had been quiet for a long while now and it bothers her more than expected. There was silence rather. "Diana!!" She called out again. "Uhhmm" Diana gasped in shock and trembled out of her trance.Her eyes were still glinting with sadness as she now locked it on Erica. "What is it??" She asked, calming her nerves down.Silence followed a bit.Erica looked up and met her gaze, she ran out of words to say at that instance. The cold gaze Diana was having right now made her head ru

**********“Everything is fine, it was only a dream.” Diana muttered to herself as she made her way to the bathroom, so she could brush her teeth. The fact that she was embarrassed by what Anastasia said didn't bother her. What was on her mind was how to stop her heart from beating fast. She had seen the children, and they were fine, but why wouldn't that fear leave her? Why was she still shaken by what happened?Another question that bothered her was why she would see Elise in her dream. As far as she knew, she had started her life afresh, and she had no business with this woman.“Are you okay?” Erica blocked her path. She hated how Diana looked like someone who just got beaten to a pulp in a fight.Diana slowly shook her head, not wanting to talk, in case Erica would be the next person to ask her to brush her teeth.She gestured, showing Erica that she would be right back. Rushing to her room, she flung the bathroom door open and picked up her brush and toothpaste from the brush hol

"The beach??" Elsie asked. "Yes mom" "But why?" She hesitated a little before giving him a reply. Why the sudden interest in going to the beach more often? If she could remember more vividly, that was where he met those damn people she never wanted to see again. She folded her arm to her chest and drifted into a shallow thought. Lucas locked his eyes back at her. He had hurriedly finished the cereal to please her but it seems she was having second thoughts. Why?? Does he need a reason for going to the beach? Well, that would be to embrace the feeling of the seashores but also something was lurking in his mind whereas, he was trying his possible best to not think about that yet.Time shall tell if fate will let them meet. Besides, he had a feeling that he would see them again especially… Elise stood up quickly, dragging his attention towards her. "We can't go to the beach today" she replied with a blank expression, not showing a weak spot for him even a bit. "Common mom, mus

**********Derek heaved a sigh as he collected the car keys from the beta wolf. He was about to enter the car when the wolf stopped him.“Won't you go with escorts?” He asked.Derek blinked. “What for?” He asked.“Well, you're going to see the wife of the devil and their son. Your safety isn't guaranteed because they aren't trusted. I suggest you go with guards.” He suggested.“I'm only going to see a harmless mother and her son. They have no reason to hurt me and even if they do, I am strong enough and more than capable to protect myself.” Derek answered.The beta wolf sighed. Their Alpha was quite an obstinate man. He was right, though. Sending escorts wouldn't be necessary. Derek was capable of protecting himself, and he knew how to navigate his way around stuff. If he goes with escorts, he might end up saving their asses instead.“Alright, Alpha, but please be careful. It's quite a long distance.”Derek nodded and entered the car, then drove off. He couldn't wait to see Elise agai

"He is my ex-boyfriend," Elsie replied with a weak smile.As much as she hated to admit it, she still got to tell this persistent son of hers who was looming over her like she had pocketed all his candles. "Ex-boyfriend?" Lucas asked, creasing his brows.He folded his hands to his chest and molded his lips to a side, thinking. "What??" Elsie asked, walking forward. She was still lingering by the door when Lucas bombard her with that question. "What's a boyfriend mom?" Lucas caught her off guard with his question which made her smile and felt a joyous feeling swirling inside her. Who would have thought this smart kid of hers wouldn't know what a boyfriend is? I guess it's time to play the safer side.Elsie's down-like mode lighted up quickly, she doesn't need to disclose who Derek was but instead, she plans to plot to twist their past. Hmmm. She hummed and walked past Lucas over to the couch.She sat down crossed-legged and faced the lost-in-thought Lucas, having a broad smile cree
