Draven POVShe came here with George Hunt.That was the first thought that stabbed through me when I walked into the foyer. George Hunt. My mind raged at the sight of the two. I fought to keep my composure.Did he know of the child's existence? He probably did. Why else was he here? How long had he known? Was he here for moral support... or for the other bizarre impossible reason?“I'm here for Aiden,” Layla said, eyes red and puffy.Aiden was still asleep upstairs. According to the doctor, that meant he had been taking the masking potion for years. Possibly since he was born. He had been unconscious for more than three hours now.When I didn't answer her, Layla came toward me.A faint scent of blood clung to her.She had been hurt looking for her son.How I hated the fact that I noticed. And the feeling it stirred in my chest was something I preferred to do without right now."Where's Mr. Wallace?" I asked.She blinked. "What... who?""Mr. Wallace. Your… mate. I've been meaning t

Layla POVDraven's profile was turned toward me, and I watched him swallow. He was trying not to lose his patience in front of the child."Aiden," he said quietly as he rose, "we'll talk about what the word home means. But only after you've eaten. Come on."This time, he held out his hand. Aiden hesitated, looking at me before taking it.Some time later, we were all seated at Alpha Cullen's grand dining table. The room was painfully quiet as the omegas served the steaming steaks.My stomach growled at the aroma as I tried to recall the last time I ate. Yet the thought of eating was almost unbearable.I knew better than to make another scene here. Not in the home of a pack that was friends with the Arctic Moon. Everyone at the table knew what was going on.Even Aiden seemed to understand that he was at the center of something serious, even if he couldn't possibly understand what it meant.But did he know Draven was his father? Did he hear enough during our argument to understand that m

Layla POVDraven vanished at some point. So did George Hunt. My son and I didn't leave Midnight Moon Pack. I didn't bother trying to sneak away, even after the Alphas vanished from sight. I was too tired and uninspired. The thought of running felt like an exhausting battle I simply didn't have the strength to fight at the moment.Not only were there wolves everywhere, but running wouldn't be good for Aiden, especially now that he was no longer protected by the invisible mask. I couldn't afford to make a reckless decision that might put him in danger especially when we're far from neutral territory. Whatever happened next, I had to think beyond my own fears. My son came first.Thank Fate, Alpha Cullen seemed accommodating. His friend hadn't convinced him to kick me out, as I'd feared. Even Clyde was allowed to stay.For the first time since everything had fallen apart, I finally had some time alone with Aiden. Yet I didn't know how to begin explaining any of it to him.Instead, all I

Layla POVApparently, when Draven said, “we'll drop you and your mother off at her place,” he wasn't talking about himself. He sent his Beta instead, without giving me any explanation about what would happen next. It felt like he'd rather not speak to me at all.Before he vanished, he'd told Aiden again that they would see each other soon. Often was the word he used.When Aiden and I were leaving Midnight Moon, Beta Nash had insisted on driving us back. Clyde protested at first, then the two of them eventually disappeared into a study with Alpha Cullen. When they came back out, there was an odd shimmer in Clyde's eyes.With Clyde driving, Nash in the passenger seat, and Aiden and me in the back, the ride home was mostly silent. Aiden occasionally asked me something whenever we passed an interesting landmark. I answered as best as I could while my thoughts remained somewhere else entirely.Clyde took us straight home, and I didn't have the heart to complain. I would bet my badge that

Layla POVThe brief talk with Savanna strengthened my resolve to act. More importantly, it gave me something I hadn't had in days: a direction.Gordon's former PA, Nina Buch, had relocated from Arctic Moon's main pack because of work. She now lived and worked in FallsVale with her mate. I had heard of the place. It was a small settlement along the northern coast, far from the edge of the Realm. But at least it's outside the Arctic Moon. Savanna had been kind enough to give me her office address.I sat staring at the information for a long moment after our call ended.I had spent too much of my life running from Gordon and Julia Voss. And their entire household. I had spent too many years trying to survive what they had done to me while convincing myself that leaving was enough. Distancing myself from them was enough.It wasn't. Not anymore.I was not going to sit around waiting for the inevitable and fear losing my child.And I would never allow Draven to put my baby in the hands o
