Afraid Artinya

“He shouldn't return here, his presence isn't needed at all. What is even the significance of him being here?” Pete angrily asked. I can see pain, jealousy, and insecurity in his eyes. “Save your fears for something worth fearing for. I can't have your woman, all I want is my kids to be saved.” I said to him with my hands on his shoulder, which he removed immediately. “No matter what you do, I can never be afraid of you, and you can never have a place in her life again.” Pete bragged. I laughed, because the little power he has is deceiving him. An intriguing story of how Selena ran back to her former alpha mate, who sent her away after a night. She went to seek for help to save her kidnapped triplets, because her present mate was at the point of life and death. Alpha Tyler's presence in Selena's life again changed everything as she struggled to save her triplets. Who will she finally be with? Will survive the evil plots of Tyler's current Luna?

The fifth year of my marriage to Silas marked a turning point I would never forget. Our son, Yael, was kidnapped. The ransom was set at ten million dollars, an insignificant amount for Silas, yet his response chilled me to the core. “No rush. A Gardner needs to experience some hardships to grow.” Ten million meant nothing to him, but Yael’s life meant everything to me. I dropped to my knees, tears streaming down my face, and begged him relentlessly, pleading for Yael to be brought home as soon as possible. Silas, however, remained unmoved. Three days later, Yael was returned to us, but the cheerful boy I knew was gone. He had been so traumatized that he could not speak. Far from showing concern, Silas coldly remarked, “Yuna said Yael keeps telling everyone at school she’s a fatherless child. Let’s see how he spreads lies now.” His words cut through me like a knife. I picked Yael up in my arms and whispered softly in his ear, “Don’t be afraid, Yael. Mommy will take you away from here.”
