Chapter 5

Author: Echo
(Bruce's POV)

An hour earlier.

Fiona was a mess of tears, her fingers clutching Bruce's sleeve.

"Bruce, what do I do? Tony fell from a tree! He's bleeding so much, I'm so scared."

Tony was sobbing uncontrollably. Without thinking, Bruce scooped him up and ran for the pack clinic, calling Avril on his way.

"Avril, tell Leo I'm sorry."

"Tony's hurt. I have to get him to the clinic."

"I don't know if I can make it by three. If you can't wait, just head home."

"Tell Leo I'm so sorry!"

  • My Son Calls His Father “Alpha” Now   Chapter 11

    Before, it was Leo and I chasing after him.When are you coming home? Can you spend time with your son? Do you even love us?Now, it was the other way around.But we weren't looking back.On holidays, I'd take Leo traveling. We saw the northern lights on the ice plains and surfed in the ocean. We lived well.Bruce always found out our itinerary and would follow us from a distance.He'd sit across the terminal at the airport, or a few tables away at breakfast.When Leo went skiing, Bruce would trail behind, terrified his son might fall.One time, Leo did fall. Bruce sprinted over.But Leo was already up, dusting the snow off himself."I don't need help, Alpha."Bruce's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. "Right," he said softly. "You're doing great, Leo."He learned not to interfere, following us like a ghost.But that didn't mean my heart was softening.Seven months after severing the bond, I started dating.The first time Bruce caught me was at a French restaurant.My date was a lawye

  • My Son Calls His Father “Alpha” Now   Chapter 10

    In all our years as mates, he had always been the proud, composed Alpha. This was the first time I'd ever seen him so broken and desperate.But I felt no sympathy. I just found it… pathetic."You're only remembering Leo now?"Bruce opened his mouth, but no words came out.I heard soft footsteps behind me.Leo was there, clutching his little dinosaur.He looked at Bruce kneeling outside the door, his expression unreadable.Bruce reached for him like a drowning man grabbing a lifeline."Leo. Daddy's here. Can you help me convince your mom? Please? I don't want to lose her."He thought Leo would soften. After all, Leo used to be his little shadow.Whenever he came home, Leo would run and hug his legs, chanting "Daddy, Daddy."But this time, Leo just took a small step back behind me.Then he said, calmly, "Alpha, you should go be with your other pup. Don't bother me and my mom anymore."Bruce froze, his hand suspended in mid-air."Leo, I'm your dad. How can you call me Alpha?"Leo looked a

  • My Son Calls His Father “Alpha” Now   Chapter 9

    Those four words were a knife straight to Bruce's heart.He stared at the screen, motionless.Fiona was still laughing."Oh, you didn't know? Bruce, you're pathetic. Your own Luna and heir have rejected you, and you're still here playing daddy to someone else's pup."Bruce suddenly turned and walked out."Where are you going?" Fiona shouted after him.He didn't look back.Her voice turned shrill. "Do you think she'll forgive you if you go after her now? She's already done with you!"Bruce faltered for a second, then walked faster.Furious, Fiona grabbed a water glass from the bedside table and threw it.It shattered at the doorway.At the same time, Tony began to convulse violently. His face turned blue, and he made a terrible gasping sound."Patient has laryngeal edema!" a nurse yelled. "Get a healer, now! We need to resuscitate!"Fiona's legs gave out, and she collapsed to the floor.Bruce drove straight to the airport, ordering his men to arrange a flight immediately. He had to get

  • My Son Calls His Father “Alpha” Now   Chapter 8

    Bruce shot to his feet.Even though he hated Fiona in that moment, the thought of a pup in danger sent him rushing out the door.Outside the emergency room, Fiona was pacing.Tony was covered in red hives.His face was swollen, his lips pale, and an IV was taped to the back of his hand.He kept scratching at his neck. A nurse had just given him an antidote.Bruce was about to push the door open when he heard Tony's weak voice from inside."Mommy, I ate the wolfsbane like you said.""Is Alpha coming to see me?"Bruce’s hand froze on the doorknob.Fiona's voice was low, but laced with a triumphant smile."He will.""Bruce is a total pushover. All you have to do is cry a little, act cute, and he’ll come running."Tony wheezed. "But it hurts.""Mommy, am I going to die?"Fiona's brow furrowed in annoyance."Don't be ridiculous. It's just a little poison. Toughen up. Remember last time, when Avril's son had a fever? I just said you were crying because you missed your 'daddy,' and Bruce came

  • My Son Calls His Father “Alpha” Now   Chapter 7

    Around eight that night, Bruce went home.As he opened the door, he clung to one last sliver of hope.Maybe Avril just took Leo to a friend's house.Maybe she's just really angry and isn't answering her phone.Maybe…The moment the door swung open, all his maybes shattered.The entryway was empty. Where Avril's and Leo's shoes used to be, there was only his own pair of boots.The living room was empty.The large wedding portrait was gone from the wall. The family mugs were gone from the coffee table.The photo of the three of them at the beach was gone.In the corner, Leo's favorite dinosaur toys, his building blocks, his picture books—all gone.Bruce stood in the doorway, as if his soul had been ripped from his body.He walked, step by step, into the bedroom.The closet was open.Not a single piece of Avril's clothing was left.Her vanity was wiped clean, not even her favorite moonflower perfume remained.He rushed into Leo's room.The small bed was neatly made, but his backpack and t

  • My Son Calls His Father “Alpha” Now   Chapter 6

    Bruce drove straight to the amusement park.The traffic was a nightmare, an endless river of cars.His hands were slick with sweat on the steering wheel.He called Avril again and again. No answer.He knew she must be angry, so he started texting.[Avril, Tony's fine. I'm on my way now.][Don't leave. I'm almost there.][I'm not breaking my promise this time. I'm really coming.]Still nothing.Bruce's hand trembled as he held the phone. A dark premonition coiled in his gut.Avril had never ignored him like this before.He tried calling Leo’s phone. It was off.Bruce's heart pounded in his chest. Panic, like a cold vine, coiled around his throat.He suddenly remembered last night.Avril's cold expression as she said, "We're going far away."Thinking back, her tone hadn't sounded like she was talking about a trip.Bruce slammed on the gas, running one red light after another.Messages from Fiona kept popping up.[Bruce, Tony won't stop crying.][His wound is bleeding again. Can you come
