Fractured Bond: Hiding the Alpha's heir 66: The broken glass of juice 2
As we went through the details, I realized I didn't hate the task half as much as I had when Travis first assigned it to me. At least it gave me something else to be troubled about, and I was beginning to understand that almost any problem was easier to face than the possibility of losing my son.Or Draven getting mated.I ignored the taunting voice in my head. I’d stubbornly refused to let my mind go there.But as I remembered that his mating ceremony must have come and gone, bitterness filled my mouth. I pushed the thought away and forced my attention back to the chart in front of me.“Silverberry,” Stanley said suddenly.My heart jolted.I was staring at the report detailing the substance found in the girl's blood. The scientific term was printed in bold ink on the sheet. Yet it hadn't registered until Stanley said the word aloud.“You know it, right? That's what she was fed.”I swallowed.Savanna's words came rushing back as I stared at the lab results, dragging memories of my chi
Fractured Bond: Hiding the Alpha's heir 66: The broken glass of juice
Layla POVApparently, when Draven said, “we'll drop you and your mother off at her place,” he wasn't talking about himself. He sent his Beta instead, without giving me any explanation about what would happen next. It felt like he'd rather not speak to me at all.Before he vanished, he'd told Aiden again that they would see each other soon. Often was the word he used.When Aiden and I were leaving Midnight Moon, Beta Nash had insisted on driving us back. Clyde protested at first, then the two of them eventually disappeared into a study with Alpha Cullen. When they came back out, there was an odd shimmer in Clyde's eyes.With Clyde driving, Nash in the passenger seat, and Aiden and me in the back, the ride home was mostly silent. Aiden occasionally asked me something whenever we passed an interesting landmark. I answered as best as I could while my thoughts remained somewhere else entirely.Clyde took us straight home, and I didn't have the heart to complain. I would bet my badge that
Fractured Bond: Hiding the Alpha's heir 65: The unknown Alpha
Draven POVI left mother and son and returned to the Arctic Moon through the woods. It was just before sunset when I entered pack grounds.Gordon Voss was in the Alpha's mansion alongside Elder Charles Reagan when I appeared. Raymond Darkwood was there too. They stood talking in the corridor leading to my office, and their conversation stopped the moment they sensed me.“Alpha Darkwood,” Reagan called eagerly.“You're here often,” I said, suddenly irritated by what his presence represented.For some reason, the attack came back to me. My suspicion that it had been coordinated. Was this male, or someone like him, behind it? Were they trying to prove something to the Realm? Testing me all because I was still unmated?“It's so good to see you too,” he replied, forcing a smile.“Alpha,” Gordon greeted.I ignored him. My thoughts went straight to Layla. Did Gordon Voss know she had been pregnant when she left the pack? The thought alone made something dark twist inside me. No.Surely he

Layla POVDraven vanished at some point. So did George Hunt. My son and I didn't leave Midnight Moon Pack. I didn't bother trying to sneak away, even after the Alphas vanished from sight. I was too tired and uninspired. The thought of running felt like an exhausting battle I simply didn't have the strength to fight at the moment.Not only were there wolves everywhere, but running wouldn't be good for Aiden, especially now that he was no longer protected by the invisible mask. I couldn't afford to make a reckless decision that might put him in danger especially when we're far from neutral territory. Whatever happened next, I had to think beyond my own fears. My son came first.Thank Fate, Alpha Cullen seemed accommodating. His friend hadn't convinced him to kick me out, as I'd feared. Even Clyde was allowed to stay.For the first time since everything had fallen apart, I finally had some time alone with Aiden. Yet I didn't know how to begin explaining any of it to him.Instead, all I

Draven POVThe look on Layla's face made me struggle for another moment with George. That first strike had felt too good. I'd wanted to hit him for seven years.But the satisfaction disappeared almost immediately. Especially when I caught the horror on Layla's face.How was I supposed to defend what I'd just done when George's words were right?I was supposed to be getting ready for my mating ceremony. Instead, I was standing in Cullen's yard with my former best friend heaving with anger from a punch I'd barely thought twice about throwing.Aiden appeared by the door now.I straightened, immediately pulling my claws back. The sight of him was enough to force some control back into me.The crowd seemed to settle as Layla hurried over and pulled the boy back inside.George looked like he might come at me again, so I waited, almost wishing he made a move.For the first time since we'd gone our separate ways, he seemed angrier than me who was supposed to be the victim. Which made the whol
Fractured Bond: Hiding the Alpha's heir 62: The two Alpha's business
Layla POVDraven's profile was turned toward me, and I watched him swallow. He was trying not to lose his patience in front of the child."Aiden," he said quietly as he rose, "we'll talk about what the word home means. But only after you've eaten. Come on."This time, he held out his hand. Aiden hesitated, looking at me before taking it.Some time later, we were all seated at Alpha Cullen's grand dining table. The room was painfully quiet as the omegas served the steaming steaks.My stomach growled at the aroma as I tried to recall the last time I ate. Yet the thought of eating was almost unbearable.I knew better than to make another scene here. Not in the home of a pack that was friends with the Arctic Moon. Everyone at the table knew what was going on.Even Aiden seemed to understand that he was at the center of something serious, even if he couldn't possibly understand what it meant.But did he know Draven was his father? Did he hear enough during our argument to understand that m
