Axel pov Elias did look like me, that much was true. He had my eyes and my hair color, but had a darker complexion than I have. He reminded me of myself when I was that age. I could see Alpha Drake staring at us, looking very nervous. When I took a good look at the boy I could see someone else, his curls and the dimple in his cheek. The shape of his mouth and his button nose. He might have gotten his eyes from me and he had my build. But I could still see Ambers features shine through. I couldn't leave the boy hanging, the boy, my boy, my son. I tried to calm down and said, "hi Elias, it's nice to meet you. I will have to talk with your mother first, but I think you might be right." Almost no-one else had witness our conversations, most were still busy sparring. I could see Alpha Drake getting more nervous by the minute and Beta Logan was looking at me and Elias and back at me, trying to make sense of the situation. I needed time to think, to deal with the mind blowing revelation

Ambers pov I woke up and quickly ran towards Elias bedroom shouting his name. Brian was still knocked out, I saw on the clock it was two hours later. Wolfbane usually keeps you knocked out for at least sex hours, perhaps my special wolf was to thank for my quick recovery. Elias' room seemed empty, but there were no signs of a struggle. They must have used the gas on him too. I couldn’t think straight. There was a knock on the door and when I opened it, one of the omegas that worked at the packhouse stood there. "I have a note from Alpha Axel for you" she said, gave it to me and left Axel didn’t do this right? He wouldn’t just kidnap his son. I did lie and kept his son from him for five years. But he said he would talk to us first. He wouldn’t do this right?! I was panicking, trying to calm myself down enough to stop shaking and read the note. "Hi Amber, there was an attack at my pack.I will try to come back as soon as things calm down here.We have a lot to talk about, I am not

Ambers pov: "Thank the Goddess your daughter was stupid enough to come to you. Let’s get the boy to safety before Axel can find him,"I heard one of the men say. I look at my parents, my mother just looks away. My father said, "I always thought you were a disappointment, a mistake. Especially when we found out you were pregnant, it only proved what we already knew. But when Alpha Axel came by looking for you, he seemed way too invested in some classmate of him. We knew he had to be the father. We honestly thought you had died. Imagine our surprise you were still alive and had a son who was the spitting image of Alpha Axel. Finally you were good for something." I got so angry I spit in his face. My wolf almost took over, I tried to calm her by thinking of Elias who was standing next to me holding my hand. The guy in the suit came between me and my father. He looked at me and said, "you’d better behave, we only need your son. You wouldn’t want him to see you get hurt right?" I would

Ambers pov: We left early in the morning, to avoid anyone seeing us. Axel gave Elias a hug, Brian a handshake and then turned to me. He looked sad, but I went in for a hug anyway. I needed to feel his touch, even if it might be the last time. Five years ago we didn’t have a proper goodbye and last week he went away so quickly to deal with the attack. I hugged him and secretly sniffed his scent. He had been so distant the last few days, except for the time he asked about my mark. I had hoped founding out I wasn’t in a relationship with Brian would rekindle some of the old love we shared. But I was wrong. He was merely the father of Elias now and my ex boyfriend, nothing more. "But he is taking his time with this hug," Ripley said. I pulled back from the hug. "Thank you for everything, I will see you next month. I hope you’ll find Mofran and his men soon," I said to Axel, ignoring Ripley's words. He had felt so good, his tall muscular body against mine. Hugging him felt like I was

Axel’s pov I never really liked Brian, I respected him for being there for Amber and Elias. But I felt jealous of him and I thought Elias deserved more for a father. But hearing him say those words to me at our last dinner, changed something for me. He was really trying and he cared so much for Elias. I had heard the news of his death from one of my men who was driving Amber home. He had also shared the details of the fight between Amber and Mofran’s men. If you could call it a fight, it sounded more like a massacre. I didn’t realize Amber was that strong or could do those things with moonlight. I was amazed by her and so proud she had protected Elias so well. And I would thank the Goddess every day for Brian being there to stop Mofran. But all my feelings right now didn’t matter. Amber had asked me to come to the funeral for Elias. I hoped they both will be okay, they’re strong but this will take some time. Tomorrow I will head out there, Mofran’s capture will likely mean the end
