Chapter 11: A Nanny for Jack.

Destiny’s pov.I sit on a couch in the downstairs library, going through the files of the people who have been selected to be the nanny.My heart is tight with pain as I go through them because Jack will soon be in the care of someone else, but I accepted the decision, so the least I can do is make sure the woman that gets to be his nanny is someone who’s good for him.I cross out another name on the list and frown in annoyance at the rest. If Jack is going to be taken care of by someone else, then what’s the use of me still being in the pack? I’m a disgraced Luna, known for being abused and demeaned by those around me. No one in the pack likes me.Even my relationship with Coren has taken so many hits it can never be how it was ever again. So what exactly is my use here?I'm still flipping through the list of women when I hear the footsteps.They're heavy, deliberate, and stop right beside me. Blue eyes glare at me when I look up.Tristan doesn't bother greeting. He never does.I

Chapter 12: Lucy.

"Lucy.You don't seem as shy as before."That's a strange thing to say but I can't get it out of my head. Tristan scoffs, seated on the couch beside me, but thankfully he keeps his mouth shut. He should do that more often.Lucy blushes lightly, the action done at just the right time as she flutters her lashes, "Thank you.I've just been trying to be more confident lately."She tilts her head to the side, everything practiced as she smiles, "I think children respond better to warmth and confidence."I nod at that and turn my attention to the two other women.Lydia offers a polite smile as I ask her questions, and Judy sits stiff backed, hands folded tightly in her laps as she responds when it's also her turn.All through this, Lucy just watches me.Her gaze isn't disrespectful, at least not openly, but it gives me a feeling I'm not really comfortable with.As the interviews go on, I think less about her sudden confidence and try to focus on the qualities of the three women in front of

Chapter 13: He’s mine.

Tracy’s pov.The hut is out deep in the woods. It's small and smells rotten, like evil itself lives inside."I need a potion that can make me someone else." It didn't take me much to figure out the first thing I would need for my revenge was a new identity.Walking down the path from my parent's house that day, I could feel the eyes of the people along the road linger on me. Sure, no one recognized me because of how haggard I looked, but I couldn't take a chance.I had to make sure Tracy remained dead, and killing Lucy Towers was so simple... As simple as batting off a fly.Lucy has always been a pitiful little omega. She’s simple, an orphan like barren Destiny, and she barely talks to anyone because of how shy she is."Please, please let me go. Please! No!" The day I dragged her into the woods and slit her throat behind a gathering of trees, she didn't even scream loudly enough for anyone to notice. That's the thing with women like her. Their lives are the easiest to take over

Chapter 14: Something wrong with that girl.

Destiny’s POVI wake up from a terrible dream. I didn’t dream of my mother or other people I loved.I dreamed of Tracy, my biggest enemy.She is home, and she is about to take back what she claims is hers.Exhausted, I take a walk by the river, and I hear someone crying.I follow the sound as fast as I can until I see him. Under the old willow tree by the lake that runs through the park, Jack is sitting in the dirt, shirt smeared with mud and tears rolling down his little face. Lucy is standing a few feet away from him, hands folded across her chest and still as a statue as she watches him. What happened?As soon as I get to them, I reach for Jack. My skirt brushes the grass beneath us as I kneel and pull him towards me in a hug. Jack only cries harder once my arms are round him and the sound of that makes my heart tremble. Softly, I ask him, "Jack, my darling what happened? Are you hurt?"Jack pulls back from me slightly and I notice the way he looks at the floor even as tears sti

Chapter 15: Monsters lie in wait.

Lucy’s pov.“Lucy.Go home, bring hot towels and some dessert. Jack needs to clean up, and afterwards we'll have a snack here.”Each order Destiny gives me is like a slap to the face. Who the hell does this bitch think she is?The second her voice floats into my ears ordering me away, I want to do nothing else but spit in her face and let her know the truth of who I really am. That would be quite the shock wouldn’t it? Knowing I, Tracy Woods, am still alive and right here, watching the way she's coddling my son, and looking at him with eyes a barren woman like her shouldn’t be looking at any child with!I would give her the shock of a lifetime, then tear her into pieces afterwards.The hate that bubbles in me is so strong that for a moment I almost do it.For a moment, I almost can’t bear the sight of this pitiful bitch anymore, but then I see Jack in her arms and his voice rings through me.“They said my mum was a mistress.”I grind my teeth and bow my head. Yes, I was a mistress, b

Chapter 16: Help me.

Destiny’s pov.The world in front of me tilts, like someone made the earth flat and I just fell off the edge.The first thing I feel when I crash into the lake is the cold. The bone biting chilly cold of the lake closes around me like a fist, dragging me down and ripping the air from my lungs.I choke as water fills my ears, my nose, my mouth.... I flail, grabbing at liquid that moves around my fingers and leaves me holding nothing at the end of the day, because water can't be held.There are only two options with water. Swim or drown. Water is merciless like that and a realization hits me with terrifying clarity.I can't swim. I'm going to die.My chest burns, panic tearing through me as I sink deeper into the lake. I struggle. I struggle, kicking and flailing, but all I do is tire myself out. Darkness starts crowding the edge of my vision and like they're pushing the darkness back, images flash past my mind, sharp and bright."Mum."The first is my mother, Eva. I see her tired bu

Chapter 17: Can’t do this anymore.

Coren’s pov.Only one thought pounds in my skull as we leave that darned lake behind.Why does anyone think Destiny will ever hurt Jack? Are they all blind?Destiny is dripping wet beside me, still shivering even though she's wrapped in my jacket. She looks weak but she isn't leaning on me for support. Just looking and walking straight ahead. For five years I've watched Destiny take care of Jack. I've watched her feed him, read to him, stay up all through his childhood fevers.Even when he's being difficult, Destiny has never once given me a chance to think she would hurt Jack, and still... still people like my Beta look at her like a monster.I glance at him and like he can read my thoughts he snaps, "I had every right to worry, Coren. Destiny isn't his mother."I stop walking and grit out, "Enough."Tristan looks like his pride has taken a hit and I don't know which one hurts him more. My disapproval of his recent actions or the way Jack won't look at him, "You crossed a line today

Chapter 18: Honestly apologize.

Tristan’s pov."Hold still."Jack winces in pain as I dab some ointment onto his bruised knee. As I clean, I make a silent assessment of his body.Apart from the dirt on his shirt, the shallow cuts around his legs and knees, slightly swollen eyes from crying... There's nothing to indicate he was being hurt."Well how was I supposed to know she wasn't going to push him?" I mutter under my breath to myself.When I look up, Jack is watching me. He's watching me carefully and intently, too seriously for a child of his age.Jack is a perfect blend of Coren and Tracy. He has Tracy's eyes... My eyes.Everyone in my family has bright blue eyes and it's a marker. Jack obviously has Beta blood running through his veins but right now, he’s watching me like I'm a stranger."Uncle Tristan," His voice doesn't have any of the boyish warmth I've come to know him for. Very seriously, he continues, "My teacher, Miss Paige, says when you do something wrong, you should apologize honestly.Why haven't you

Chapter 19: A world without her.

Coren’s pov.I don't want Destiny to ever leave me, and I'll do anything I can to make her stay.The thought rolls around in my head as I watch her in the kitchen, apron wrapped tightly around her waist, caramel brown hair slung up in a low bun, and aromas wafting around her like a soft aura.The morning light filters in through the windows and I'm standing at the foot of the stairs, feasting on the sight of my mate and child existing in silent harmony.I couldn't boil water at Jack's age, and maybe that's not what I should have been doing, but watching the way Jack and Destiny move around each other in the kitchen makes my heart beat warmly.Jack is peeling eggs carefully and for every egg he successfully peels, Destiny tells him thank you and places a soft kiss on his head. The babysitter, Lucy, looks like she just swallowed a lime each time it happens and the sight of it makes me want to walk over and ask what she thinks she's doing by acting like that. I don't simply because I kn

Chapter 20: Just a mistake.

Destiny’s pov.By the time I come out of the bathroom, Coren is already gone but his words haunt my mind like a ghost haunts an abandoned house.“So what’s going to happen to Jack if you move out then?”I made the decision to leave for my mother's place when I woke up this morning, bones aching for some peace and my mind craving the nostalgia and warmth of my childhood home. Even after Coren’s words, I still hesitate to unpack my bag.The day passes fast and at night, the packhouse settles into an easy quiet. Once I put Jack to bed, I go back to my room. In the pitch darkness, I slip softly under the covers. My back has barely hit the mattress before someone rolls towards me, his arm finding my waist in the dark and pulling me to him.Coren's touch is familiar as it roams up and down my laps. His palms are insistent as he breathes hotly against my neck. I immediately push him away. "Coren, stop this.”Honestly sometimes I don’t know how he thinks. Why the hell is he in my bed after
