RAQUEL’S POV

Hearing the cries of my babies, I couldn’t help but shed tears too, I had no idea why Leo would think it was

wise to enroll them in some silly training, they were just kids for heaven’s sake “It’s okay, I’m here now” I tended to the both of them mat the same time, I guess that was one of the superpowers of a mother, I could not bear to leave any one of them. out of my sight

I picked Alec up and Leo Picked Aiden up and we took them to the car, I had to seat in the passengers sit in

in order to watch over the both of them and make sure they were okay. I didn’t say a word, neither did Leo, but we

could hear each other’s thoughts and feel each other’s emotions, and his made me angrier. it was clear that he

wasn’t happy about the injuries just like I was, but he didn’t feel remorseful about bringing them here, as matter of fact, he was happy and satisfied, which only meant he was going to bring them there again. Or so he thinks, I would never let them out of my sight again and he would never have the chance to take them to some ridiculous training whatsoever. They had cried themselves to sleep. My poor babies

“Stop sulking, they’re going to be alright, they’ll heal before sundown” His voice echoed in the car, I chose to

ignore him. “Look, I know you might think this is irrational and all, but trust me, it is for the best. They are future

Alpha…

They are future Alphas” I said at the same time with him, to let him know that I was aware of whatever was going on in his dumb head. He got the message and sighed “It is for the best Raquel, and I told you already, they would heal as a werewolf, your injuries heal faster than that of human, theirs is slow because they haven’t gotten their wolves yet, but it is still faster than the healing process of an average human. You should know all these things, don’t you read novels? and your father was also a werewolf” He said, I decided to not respond to that one also, but then I remembered the things mom and dad had said in that video clip. No one was to know that he was the one who informed me about the existence of werewolves so I had to act clueless now that Leo

mentioned it

“What do you mean?” I asked, and prayed so hard that he didn’t try to read my thoughts and found out the truth “You didn’t know?” He asked back and I shook my head “Your father was a werewolf, a powerful one, he and my father were…good friends” He was hesitant, but made the statement anyway, Iscoffed and rolled my eyes” My father was not one of you…you monsters. he was a human, a good man and he would have told me if he really was one” I said, my eyes had become blurry, and I felt something liquid roll down my cheeks.

Recalling the things that were said in that video clip back in Canada, I couldn’t help but shed more tears, even if

I didn’t want to, it was out of my control

When I noticed Leo staring at me from the rear view, I turned my head sideways and to look outside.

while trying to deviate my mind from the thoughts of my parents. If only they had not died, I wouldn’t have to put

up these shits from Leo, because I wouldn’t have any vengeance plot in my head. I would have been living freely

te

with my kids, and wouldn’t have had to go through this…Tm…I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bring back

memories. I kind of just assumed that you knew he apologized, that didn’t make me turn over, I simply wiped

off the tears from my eyes and rested my head on the headrest and closed my eyes

The remaining minutes of the drive home were made in silence, and I couldn’t be more grateful. He pulled up All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

the front and some guards opened the door and helped the boys and me out, Leo also came out and someone

else got in and drove the car to the parking lot. Entering into the house, we were welcomed by a very sweet

scent. it came from the kitchen, that I was sure of. I guess the maids knew how to do their jobs even without the

presence of their Luna..I’m definitely not mad about You never wanted the responsibility, why the sudden

moodiness?‘ Keira asked and I ignored her. I didn’t have the time for a banter right now

up

Leo was the one who held Alec and I held Aiden, we took them to their bedroom, I always went to check on

them every five minutes. Whenever I stood up to go check, Leo always stared weirdly at me, but never said at

to g

word, and that was very clever of him. True to his words, they were back on their feet by sundown. I was

surprised, because I never believed the words of Led. And then when realization struck me, Lhad to ask

questions. Even though I had made up my mind to not talk to him again “Are they really going to grow up

into into.” I was finding it difficult to say

“Werewolves?” He helped me complete the statement, I didn’t answer, I didn’t have to. He knew and I think it was safe to say that he understood where I was coming from

and answered like a normal person would and not like a Leo would

“Well, yes. I understand that you despise me a lot and also any of my kind, but not everyone is like me. Just like you humans, there are the bad and good ones, it’s a choice people made. Take my mother for example, she was. lovely, very lovely and kind hearted. She was nothing like my father. She showed compassion, she loved me, she was….she was…” He almost broke down, but being Leo, he fought it off Sometimes I wished I had his strength, I wish I could handle the loss of my parent just like he handled his

“She was a good woman..ahem! -he cleared his throat the point is, not all werewolves are monsters” He

completed, I felt like grabbing him and pulling him into a tight comforting embrace, since I saw pain flashed in his

eyes. He really loved his mom, I could tell, but then I remembered I was supposed to be mad at him, so I

refrained from the thought. I might not be of the best personality, but they have you, you would make sure they

turn out like. like me, I trust you on that He said again, all the while, I stared at him or I thought I was, my

body had betrayed me and I felt his lips on mine or was it mine on his? I don’t know and I actually don’t care

We were forced to break the kiss when someone barged into the room. Do all the people here really not know

how to knock? We turned to the door and my eyes met with the most beautiful woman I had ever set eyes on. She reminded me of Kendra from highschool.

She spoke of everything classy, sexy and elegant. Her hair was honey blonde, her eyes were ice blue. She was a bit pale, she was slender and tall. Talk about her dress, she knew her color so well. It was a tight, red, one sleeve mini gown with glitters all over it, that stopped right below her bum. Her boldly applied red lipstick added, made her look like a goddess. Or was she?

“She has nothing on you, as a matter of fact, you beat her hands down” Leo whispered in my ears. I didn’t smile nor did I blush. As a matter of fact I didn’t take it as a compliment. I found it an insult and I would have been offended if I couldn’t hear his thoughts and discovered that he was being serious. I didn’t believe him though. I wasn’t blind. She was a ten, no point underserved

“Kate! What are you woman crush

doing here?” Leo asked, climbing off the bed. She smiled. It looked so good. Damn! I think I found my

“Leo, it’s been so long since I saw you. And oh my! Do you grow more and more good looking by the seconds” She responded and walked up to him and they engaged in a long and tight embrace. Or maybe it was just her. Leo didn’t seem interested

“What are you doing here?” He asked again. Did he have a beef with her or something? “Aren’t you happy to see me?” She asked, pouting

“No I’m not.” He replied curtly and she bent her head downwards. I felt bad for her and had no idea why Leo was being mean and harsh towards her. “Oh! That’s sad to hear. I only came around to help with the arrangements for the festival tonight and then I heard you have a new Luna who from what I’ve heard is a goddess. Where is she?” She asked.

“Of course she is a goddess, and goddesses are not meant to be seen by peasants. Get, Out” Okay, my heart danced at that one. But why was he being insultive? From what I’ve seen, she wasn’t causing any troubles, or maybe she was his ex? And I was sitting right here, how is it possible that she could not see me?

“Are you calling me a peasant?” Her voice was shaky, as though she was going to cry “If the shoe fits, then put it on came his response. I heaved a sigh and Leo turned to me

“I came all the way here, to help with the preparation for the festival and this is what you say to me? You’re chasing me out? thought you said you had forgiven me?” A tear was threatening to fall out but she fought it off

“Of course I forgive. It doesn’t mean I want to see you around my family” it is confirmed

they once had something. And I’m sure whatever it is she did, definitely hit Leo hard
