Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mate to One, Luna for Two : Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

Vanessa's POVJenny ought to have been back from work already, but for whatever reason, she was running late and I can't help but panic as different thoughts disrupt my mind.I paced around the living room, with my eyes fixed on the door knob, as I waited anxiously for her to come. I have been pacing around Jenny's living room for over two hours now and she was yet to be here. I thought of calling her but if she was still at work, she might get into some sort of trouble, that is if she did not get caught.I have been staying with Jenny for the past two days and after doing a lot of thinking, I figured I couldn't stay here anymore. I knew it was only a matter of time before Declan would show up at the front door asking for his son, so I came up with a lasting solution. One that I should have thought of a long time ago.I used to have all sorts of expensive jewelry, most of which I hardly wore while I was still Declan's Luna, and when he sent me out of his pack years ago, I totally forg

Vanessa's POVMy heartbeat matches with the sound of the wall clock, as my heart keeps on beating fast out of fear and anxiety. I don't know what is going to happen next once we get to the Eastern pack or where we will be staying. I just knew that I needed to get far away from Declan and that is all that matters right now.Jenny left me alone to get some rest, but here I am, staring at the ceiling as my eyes keep on going to the wall clock, every second that passes by.I was nervous and I am afraid I might not be able to give Dame the kind of life he deserves. The money we got from selling off my jewellery would only last me for a little moment. I need to find a means of survival but before I can do that, I need to get there first and see how things are.I am going to a pack where I don't know anyone there, or understand their rules. I know it will take a little time to fit in, but I guess I will have to deal with all of my worries later.I checked the time for the umpteenth time toni

Vanessa's POVMoving back to Declan's house was the least of things I wanted for myself, but seeing how I was left with no choice, I tried to go back to how I used to live.Jenny was still here to help me with everything I needed and Dame is doing just fine too, so I guess I can manage as long as a certain person does not try to act funny and just stays far away from me.Dame has become my only priority and it has become my daily routine to wake up early and go to his room to bathe him and get him dressed. Today, like every other day, I went into his room to find him still sleeping peacefully on the bed.I woke him up lightly and he groaned in response. The look on his face made me smile and I carried him gently into the bathroom. I splashed cold water on his body to make him fully awake and he jumped from the impact."Mommy!" He whined and I laughed.He retaliated by splashing water on me and we played with the water a little more before bathing him. I searched his closet for casual

Vanessa's POVI felt helpless for not having any chance to help Dame right now other than wait patiently for the doctor to come out and tell us the exact thing that was wrong with him. I paced around the hospital corridors anxiously, stepping in the ways of every nurse or doctor that passed by to get any information about Dame's health but it was as if they had all planned on getting on my word as every single one of them kept repeating the same thing."Be patient, the doctor is already with him."The reply was starting to get on my nerves and I was about to pick a fight when Jenny stopped me before I could cause a scene. “Hey, calm down. They said the doctor is with him, so just calm down and allow them to run proper tests on the boy. They can't take forever." Jenny tried to calm me down, but as another nurse came out of the emergency room, I rushed over to her side and Jenny sighed."How is he doing?" I can tell that she was about to repeat the same bullshit as the rest, so I cut

Declan's POVMy chest tightened from the pain I was feeling from within and I clenched my fist on the steering wheel. I felt helpless. Despite all my money and power, I can't seem to help my son survive his desperate time.My chest rose and fell from trying to hold back so many emotions and it felt like I was about to lose it.Seeing how Vanessa acted earlier, I knew I had to be strong for her, for Dame, but no matter how strong I tried to be, it didn't make the pain go away. I can't believe that Dame was truly dying.I had missed four years out of his life. Four long years that I can neither buy nor get back no matter how much I tried. No amount of pleading or good effort would make up for the lost time, but I was willing to live with it, and now, Dame is dying and there is nothing I can do about it.It was times like this that I do think maybe the universe has something against me. Maybe I was cursed or the universe is just a jealous motherfucker who can't afford to see me happy.Wh
