Chapter 33: The Baby
Emery
6 months laterI laid down on the couch while binge-watching this new show called Squid Game. I screamed at the screen when Sangwoo betrayed Ali.
“Fuck, no! Ali, don’t believe that evil bitch! Keep your marbles. No, no, no.”I groaned in annoyance when the masked guy shot Ali down. Welp, there goes my favorite character.
I angrily munched down on the pistachio ice cream that was on my lap. I heard laughter behind me and saw my dad watching me in amusement.
“Did you like him that much? I think what the other guy did was reasonable. He also has to stay alive.”
I glared at him. “You don’t understand! He lost fair and square, but Ali still trusted him because they were friends. Do you go around killing your friends?”
He put his hands up in the air, “Okay, okay. I won’t argue with you anymore. Geez, pregnant women are horrifying.”

Emery3 years laterThe past three years have been uneventful but in a good way. Nothing grande really happened. It was only the three of us. It was peaceful. We tried to keep Arlo away from the public’s eye because he looked too much like his father, but he’s growing up and becoming more curious about the world. It’s getting harder and harder to keep him away from the public. I feel like Mother Gothel.However, we don’t restrict him too much! We just try to steer clear from large crowds and anyone affiliated with the council. I don’t know whether it’s because of his acquired genes, but Arlo doesn’t feel like an ordinary child.He’s been growing at a rapidly fast pace. At the age of 3, he can already read and write. Along with that, he is about a whole foot taller than the average three-year-old. Each day, he also resembles his father even more. The color of his eyes is the only feature that i

EmeryMy dad stammered, “What— What are you talking about? Daughter? My daughter died along with my wife more than 15 years ago. Where are you getting your nonsensical thinking from, Klaus?”Klaus chuckled, “Oh come on now, Crassus. Don’t regard me as a liar. I heard it come from your own mouths. About how this young woman right here called you dad when you went and visited the council room about four years ago. I wouldn’t dare share my suspicions without any confirmation and evidence. So, I did some digging around. And I must say, you did such a great job hiding this matter from the council, Crassus. But, I think I did a better job finding out the truth.”My mind was racing, and I couldn’t think properly. Why wasn’t I more careful? Fuck, what’s going to happen now?My dad held onto my hand to comfort me, and Klause awwed at the sight.“Such a sweet father-and-daughter pair

EmeryI peeped out of the entrance door and saw three brooding figures clad in black cloaks. I froze as I leaned against the door.“What are we going to do, dad?” I asked helplessly.“Let’s have Arlo get to safety first, then will take it from there.” My father was also anxious, but he put up a brave facade.I went to Arlo’s sleeping figure and gently woke him up. I felt bad as he was rubbing his eyes out of tiredness, but we had no other choice.“Mommy’s sorry for waking you up, but do you want to play with mommy right now?”Arlo looked up, confused. “Play?”“Yes, let’s see who can hide for the longest time, okay.” I carried him up to our room and placed him in the walk-in closet. I kneeled in front of him and gently smoothed out his hair.“If you hide here until mommy comes and gets you, I’ll make sure to buy you any
The Alpha's Hidden Child Chapter 37: The Return
EmeryArlo was fine now, munching on some chips that I bought from a lady passing by. We boarded a train bound for Lucia County, where the Blood Shadow pack resides. I turned away from Arlo to hide my tears. I looked at the swiftly passing trees instead and wondered what it would be like if dad was with us right now.I shook my head and tried to smile. He’s probably in a better place now, holding my mom in his arms and finally living the life that they always wanted to live. I glanced towards Arlo. I have my own family now. It’s time for me to protect him with everything that I have, just like how my parents did for me.I saw him yawn through my peripheral vision, so I placed his head on my lap and let him fall into slumber. I looked at his peaceful sleeping face while I stroked his soft cheeks. I would do anything to let him keep this peaceful face of his. I would never allow anyone to ruin our family, even if it’s just the both

KairoI sighed as I opened my eyes from yet another sleepless night. I looked toward Amelia’s sleeping figure and wished that it was someone else instead. It’s been about four years since she left, but she’s all I could ever think of. Is this the consequence of my selfishness four years ago? If I wasn’t so stubborn, would I have been happier now?A lot of questions still linger in my mind— Has she been doing well? Is she living a better life now? Does she have someone else who holds her in her sleep?The last question made my head hurt, so I got up from bed and splashed my face with cold water. I didn’t bother waking Amelia up. I just went downstairs to the kitchen to have my usual breakfast.I thought about what happened during the past few days. Amelia and I’s child, Devyn, just celebrated his 4th birthday, and it’s one of the rare moments where I felt genuinely happy. I might feel indiffere

EmeryI sneezed upon waking up; the dust on the ceiling must have fallen while we were sleeping. I looked at Arlo’s cute sleeping figure and brushed the dust away from his face.We have a lot to do today. First, we have to get the house cleaned up, then we have to go to the mall to buy some clothes and other necessities, and after that, I need to find a babysitting service that can look after Arlo while I try to hunt for a job.But before any of that, I need to cook some breakfast for the both of us. It’s a good thing that I’ve packed some dry pancake batter; otherwise, we wouldn’t have anything to eat this morning.I went down quietly to the kitchen so as to not wake Arlo up. Then after cooking some pancakes, I gently shook him awake so we could start the day.We finished eating our breakfast, and Arlo was now sitting on my lap, playing with a Rubik's cube that he was able to pocket before we left our old hou

EmeryToday was Arlo’s first day in the daycare center, and he was excitedly munching on his cereal next to me. I stroked his hair.“Are you excited?”He tried to calm down and hide his excitement, but I could see the slight shine in his eyes.“No, mommy. I’m cool.” He responded.I giggled. When did this young boy learn how to be cool? He surprises me more and more each day. How can a four-year-old read the situation?“Yeah, sure. You’re the coolest of them all.” I carried him and twirled him around while he pouted with his mouth full.“Don’t do that anymore, mommy. I’m a big boy now. I don’t need to be carried.”I didn’t let him down but instead showered his face with kisses. “Arlo will never grow up. He’ll always be mommy’s little baby.”He frowned and muttered, “I’m not a baby.&r

Kairo“Where are you going off to again?” I asked, tired from pulling an all-nighter because of the pack’s paperwork.“Out,” Amelia answered coldly, not even bothering to look back at us.Devyn and I were currently eating breakfast when Amelia, who was all dressed up, passed us and drank water. She didn’t even acknowledge our presence, and by the looks of it, she was going somewhere again.“Didn’t you promise Devyn yesterday that you’d bring him to his new school? It’s even his first day, so why are you going out?”She sighed, “You take him.”I looked at her in disbelief. “What? But I already took the day off yesterday to take care of his enrollment! I even gave you the chance to meet with your friends so you can accompany him today.”I looked toward Devyn and saw that he wasn't eating his breakfast anymore. His eyes were loo
