Emery I was biting my nails and bouncing my leg while waiting for Luna Liliana to come to our house. I sent her the location of the cottage, and we were now waiting for her to arrive. Arlo was sitting next to me, holding my hand. He must have sensed that something was wrong. I squeezed his hands and gave him a forced smile, but he didn’t seem convinced. “Don’t be afraid, mommy. I will fight the monsters for you.” He said as he gave me a kiss on the cheek. My anxiety alleviated for a bit as I kissed his cheeks back. “I’m sure that you will, Arlo. I’m sure that you will.” The doorbell rang, and I hurriedly got up from the couch. I opened the door and saw Luna Liliana in her pajamas, standing worriedly in the cold night. Just by the sight of her alone, I broke down into tears. I didn’t even know that I was bottling up such emotion until now. A hand caressed my hair, but it wasn’t Luna Liliana’s delicate and warm hands

Amelia I looked at my sexy figure in the mirror, satisfied with the way I looked tonight. I was in a vacant bedroom, getting ready to go out once again. I put on a bright red dress paired with black heels and curled my hair to give it that messy look. I slathered on some red lipstick and spritzed a rose-scented perfume on the warm points of my body. I smacked my lips together and gave myself a little wink. Damn, I look good. I took a taxi bound to the human territory and went down in front of a club. I’ve been going here for the past few months because I’ve been feeling restricted in the packhouse. Ever since I gave birth to that damn child, I never got the chance to do something for myself. It’s always about him! What about my needs? I’ve been getting more and more frustrated since last year because Kairo won’t give me the fucking Luna position. I’ve impressed Kairo for all these years with my strength just so I could take that damn p

Long chapter ahead!EmeryI went out on a run to get rid of some of my thoughts and to get my body back into shape. Although I am still stronger now, I’m still not at the level of when I was competing in the den. I was tired, and my sweat was dripping down on the ground, but I pushed my limits and ran until I was out of my breath.I stopped for a while to catch my breath, but the thought of knowing Amelia’s true mate kept creeping into my mind. Withstanding all of the tiredness that I felt, I ran even harder than I did.After a two-hour run, I finally decided to go back to the packhouse. I left when Arlo was sleeping, so I’m assuming that he’s probably awake by now.The country is currently under a national holiday, so Arlo and Devyn are at home most of the time. Most workers are also taking a one-week break because of the holidays. I hastened my steps so I could attend to Arlo before he could wake up.I opened the fr

EmeryThe Holidays were now over, and I was already back at work. Arlo was also back in school. Since we had a lot of leftover work from the one-week break, Luna Liliana asked us to stay a little bit later in the babysitting service. I didn’t have the conscience to refuse her since she gave us the opportunity to stay at the lakehouse, and she also took care of Arlo and Devyn when we were gone.I couldn’t fetch Arlo from school, so I asked Desiree a favor if she could be the one to go in lieu of me. It’s a good thing that she agreed right away. Amelia is the only other person I know who's staying in the house right now, and I don’t want to ask her any favors.It was already 3 PM when we were finally done with all the work. I stretched my back as I stood up, preparing to leave.“Long day, huh? Are you going home now?” My co-worker asked.I nodded. “Arlo’s all alone in the house since the friend I asked

Emery“Arlo, remember when you asked me for your real daddy?”Arlo looked confused as to why I was asking this question, but he nodded his head regardless.“It’s okay even if I don’t have a real daddy, mommy. I am happy with you. I am also happy because I have my aunties and uncles, grandma, Devyn, and uncle Kairo!”He looked at Kairo with a toothless smile. “Uncle Kairo can be my daddy even if I don’t have a real daddy! I already love him like a real daddy.” He hugged Kairo’s neck with his short arms.I was shocked when a tear suddenly fell from Kairo’s eyes, and I heard him sniffle next to me. I held onto his shoulder and forced him to look at me while Arlo continued to hug him. “Are you crying?” I asked.He shook his head, but another tear fell from his eye. I rubbed his shoulder and gave him a comforting smile. I think this is the first time that I have seen hi
