From that day, my life changed. Till today I don't know the whereabouts of my sister, if she was kidnapped or murdered. It's just a mystery to me. I'm a survivor of this fateful incident but I'm glad that today, that pregnancy I held is now evident in a young boy, my little, vibrant, five year old son, Sunshine. There's this hidden reason behind his name which many do not know except those who knew of my ordeal, from my pack. I have this hope that though I'm living in darkness now, one day the sun will shine. 

After my parents' death, I couldn't return to live at the apartment. I left without getting anything that same day to my uncle's house which is closest, I never hoped to seek refuge one day with his family but circumstances forced me. I thought that if I picked anything from my parents' house while leaving, that thing will continue to haunt me. Each time I set my eyes on it, I'll remember the horrific incident that happened which I want to let go of as soon as possible. Rather than thinking about this, my heart is burning for revenge. I'd never let the culprit go if I can discover who he is. It's now all on my shoulders, the police after they left didn't do anything till now, probably because there's no evidence, no one lived around and there was no CCTV camera installed in the house. For five years now, each time, I close my eyes to sleep and in my dreams, I'd often see mom and dad telling me to avenge their death, there was a time I screamed at them to stop disturbing me but they said they wouldn't until I did the needful.

"What do you expect me to do?" I asked them. "How do I get to know the person that did this horrible thing?"

"Don't worry you will in the near future," mom replied.

"Then when you find that person, do not let anything hinder you from taking revenge." Dad concluded. I think right after this encounter, they didn't come so often. That marked the end of staying in my uncle's house, so I packed out to the apartment the pack offered me. I could now get to live alone and raise my kid, he's so much of a loving child and the one who brings me sunshine in the midst of my darkness. 

My phone rings.

"Hello!" The voice on the other end comes on. It's the voice of Sunshine's class teacher. I guess what she wants to say already.

"Hello," I reply in a casual tone. 

"School is over, you can now come and pick your son." 

"Okay." I end the call with a sigh. I'm not even done with the cleaning I'm doing. Since I left my uncle's home, I took menial jobs in homes to feed, clothe and pay for my son's school fees. I look at the clock on the floor, it's 1 PM, the exact time my son's school closes. I have only a little to mob and I'll be done, it's better to finish up at once so after picking him up at school, I'll return home at once with him rather than coming back to continue the work. I don't need to worry, the school authorities actually provide for the care and safety of children whose parents do not come early to pick them up.

I finished at around fifteen minutes past one and hurriedly went to report to my employers. I got my eighty dollars payment, I thanked them and rushed to my son's school. Most kids are gone now, he runs towards me as he sees me from a distance. I take him into my arms. 

"You're a good boy, glad you waited for mommy." 

"Yes mom, I had to but I prayed you would come faster." I wanted to comment on this, but he's already up with another story, my son is just a great talkative sometimes and I love him that way though. "Mom mom," he says excitedly in a sing-song manner.

"Yes!" 

"My friends and teacher really admire you."

"Really?" 

"Yes," he replies with a childish nod.

"Ohhh!" I blush.

"They say you're so young and cute."

"Woww, thanks. If they said this to me, I'll tell them thanks." 

"Yeah, but mom I have a question." As he says this, my heart begins to pump faster. Oh my goodness, I just wish something would distract him from asking the question he wishes to. 

"Hmmm," I sigh heavily. "What's it you wish to ask?"

"Who's daddy?" These two words fall like a heavy piece of load, shattering my head to pieces. I can't answer this when I don't even know the man that got me pregnant with him, I mean I don't even know whether he's old or young, from my pack or not. I feel like my mind is being taken back to that day of the horrible incident, I wonder what prompts this question in my son today. Today, he seems more firm in his approach and determined to know than ever. 

"I..I...Can we talk about this later?" I finally force out of my mouth.

"No mom," he protests. "I need to know. My mates often ask me who my daddy is and I don't know what to tell them." Tears begin to stream down from my eyes. The ordeal is more than what a five year old can bear, I can't be pressured into telling him, it might cause a life-long depression and I don't want my kid to grow up being sad. If I don't give him an answer, he would be curious and anxious as well, this might still lead to depression. I decide to form any story that might make sense. Thoughts start to fly in, dad is a soldier, he's working overseas, he works in the day and only has a chance to come home at night when you are asleep, don't worry one day you'll see him.

I'm about to say which is most suitable out when a Bentley pulls up in front of me, panic runs across my veins. I sense danger but Sunshine doesn't seem to realize what's going on. He's still persisting with me to answer his questions. Two masked men come out, each with a handgun. I want to scream, I look around no one in sight, I now regret taking a lonely road. I want to run back with Sunshine in my arms but they would shoot me, even if they don't, I wouldn't be faster than them. Though a gamma, I'm not a good athlete but a good wrestler. I learned defense skills from the age of three but they are useless now, as I stand before two armed, masked men who are ready to shoot if I make any movement. 

One of them reaches out for Sunshine and takes him along. At this point I thought they were child kidnappers, not until the second taped my mouth and dragged me into the back of the car. I realize they are actually two men already sitting in front, also masked and armed. Immediately I was pulled into the car, the door shut and they zoom off.

    "I don't know why I have been so dizzy these days, absolutely not the way I used to feel." I complain as I set breakfast on the table Aiden, Sunshine and myself. "What's wrong mama?" Sunshine seems worried. "Don't worry darling, I'll be fine. Okay?" "Okay," he says reluctantly trying to focus on his food but can't. He then looks up at me to gesture if something is wrong but I shake my head into a no. Then the urge to throw up comes, I hasten off my seat to the sink. Aiden rushes off after me. After my installation, we decided to still live in his pack because of my studies at the university and because of him, so our bond would grow stronger but as well this implied us visiting my own pack to spend some time there with family, so my members would be familiar with them. At other times we would spend months at the estate of the queen which she gifted me. With this decided upon, we have no issue. As for academics, most of the times I opt in for online lectures, being a very busy pe

    "I planned with my family to visit Disneyland today, are you coming with me?" Aiden asks me. "Yes sure, I will but why are you visiting there?""My pre-installation tour. I want to take a break and chill out with my family and friends. I invited about ten Alphas to come enjoy with me, I've stayed too long, for years before I have now achieved this, my sisters as well." I can feel what he is feeling. Aiden has been an Auxiliary Alpha and his sisters, Emily and Olga, they have remained in a single place for too long, now they can rise to their true ranks and would be reverred in the world, before they were almost unrecognized. "Why wouldn't I jump into this celebratory tour?" Aiden jumps up, carries me off my feet and whirls around, grinning. "Let's get prepared, a special event is taking place at Disney today, can you guess it?""No, I don't. You know I'm not good at guessing?" "Yes, that's not an issue." By the time he says this, it's already 4 PM. He has bought a new gown for m

    At his estate, he postponed the conversation till evening, at night we get into the bed in our undies. He tries to seduce me but I insist until he tells me what he intended to. I wouldn't want him to make a fool of me, upon persistent resistance, he finally let the truth to bare. "Do you know I have over forty percent in making you the prospective Alpha of your pack?" I blush, rolling my eyes. "You contributed?" I chuckle, making mockery of him. "You, that wanted me to be a housewife and…… "No, no, no, I never said that." He protests. "Hmmm," I smirk. This guy can't mean this. "So what are the proofs that the moon goddess actually sent you to me. I need a possible proof." "Ok wait, sometimes you don't always have to judge by the cover." He rises from the bed to the table at the side of this bedroom, he pulls something out which I discover to be a phone. "Come on, why didn't you keep it near, by the bedside table?" "I will," he says with a heavy sigh. "I just feel so tired and c

    After the refreshment, I clear my throat signaling the time for announcement. The hall stops dead. They look up at me, with steady eyes. I wink at Queen Marabella, she nods to me, permitting me to announce the results. "Yes, finally the time is here and I'm going to announce the results." Being a sensitive wolf, I can hear their heart pumping hard, I see the tension on their faces, then I smile to myself. "Like I said to myself, don't be dismayed if you are not chosen for any of these two positions. It doesn't signifies you are bad or I love the people I choose more than you, it's just that there is something, a quality I've seen in them which no one else has and which is best for these positions."I heave a sigh of relief. "My chosen Beta is Albert Sharon and my Gamma is Elsbeth Clinton." An applause erupts from the audience, there is a howl of surprise as well. I'm aware that there are disappointed, it's just normal. Since I have nothing else to say to them, I stand up with Queen M

    When I arrived back home in my estate, we celebrated with a banquet and popped champagne, only my parents knew this, others I told them I just won a lottery together with my friend, Christian. Not even Sunshine knows we are substitute lovers. I personally ask Christian not to make it obvious that we are lovers. Christian leaves in the evening because I don't want him to make it obvious that something is going on between us. At my normal bedtime, I retire to bed hoping to get a pleasant night rest but a call cuts me off my expectation. I peer into the screen and it's Aiden. Him again? I growl. He switches from voice call to video call. I didn't want to answer but my wolf asks me to, I sense it still has a soft spot for him. When the call eventually goes through, I put on a serious face, I wouldn't want to appear any simple to him. "Why are you snubbing me. I saw your coronation ceremony, I felt so pained that I didn't that I didn't attend it." "Why would I invite you, you don't wa

    The celebration is finally over after two days and I'm set to return to my estate in the Superclaw Pack. When I said my goodbyes to her, she didn't accept because she was coming with me to the Snow Moon Pack. There was going to be an inspection from which she would have the International Pack Authority instruct Alpha Henry to start preparing for his departure. Initially, I thought it would just be him being warned to pack his belongings with his family because he would soon be stripped of that position, same with his wife. When I heard of the departure and that it means banishment, I was dumbfounded. "So he's gonna become a rogue?" I asked the queen. "Yes, his whole family as well. That's what the International shifter law stipulates as punishment, you well know he is guilty of inappropriate acquisition of power and maltreatment of the right heiress on the grounds that she is a female and to him, female can't take the administration of a pack. I'm a women's right activist and I'll
