I got in touch with my family easily. They were overjoyed, especially my father.
The moment he found out he was a grandfather, he was so emotional he nearly cried. He wanted Cayden and me to return to Windmere immediately.
Just then, my sleeping son mumbled softly in his sleep. “Daddy, you promised me…”
It would be his fifth birthday in two days. Even in his dreams, he was holding onto Leo’s promise to celebrate his birthday together.
I gently stroked his sleeping face as tears welled up in my eyes.
Just two more days…
I wanted Cayden to leave without any regrets.
But before dawn, a sharp knock on the door shattered his sweet dream.
It was Leo’s mother, Patricia Sinclair, sending someone to bring Cayden and me back to the pack.
I frowned, knowing that Patricia had always looked down on us. To her, I was just some nameless rogue from an outsider tribe who got lucky when I met her precious son, Leo.
And she didn’t like Cayden either.
After all, she thought that someone like Jasmin, who had pure blood and came from the same pack, was the only woman worthy of being Luna.
Unlike me, Cayden was excited. He thought Leo was finally coming to take him home.
But when we arrived at Patricia’s house, we were greeted by Leo’s relatives, all looking at us with disdain.
Leo, who hadn’t come home all night, was standing beside Jasmin with a gentle expression as he supported her.
Patricia completely ignored Cayden and me, smiling as she made an announcement. “Jasmin is pregnant. As per our agreement, Leo will be the next Alpha of the Blazetooth Pack.
“Their child will be the rightful heir. And soon, Leo and Jasmin will hold their Marking Ceremony.”
The room erupted in excitement as everyone turned to Jasmin.
I, however, stared straight at Leo.
He placed a tender hand on Jasmin’s stomach, acting like he couldn’t see me or Cayden standing just a few feet away.
