I put on kids channel. Few moments of being amazed at what he watches on the TV, he started singing and laughing with what he watches.
In the dim light, I saw his bell lit. But it was not long when it went back to its normal color.
Maybe he was just excited that caused the lighting.
While he was watching, I did not notice that I fell asleep.
When the bedside telephone rang, I was awaken.
Hales was lying beside me, with my arms he used a pillow.
I slowly moved near the telephone, very slow not to wake him.
“Yes?” I greeted.
“King, Your king brother just called us that Kolten of the inferno wolf clan is on his way here.
Should we let him in?” the woman asked. She is Jinky, one our our pack members who has long been working as a receptionist and a nose for us.
I was startled that I was not able to talk back. I was amazed of how courageous Kolten to have come here for hale?
“King?” Jinky spoke again.
“ah.. Yes, just let him in. Don’t make any commotions and act normal.” I ordered her.
“But King, your brother told me that King Kolten is outrageous, he ordered us to protect you-“
I interrupted.
“No, don’t do anything. Just let him pass. That is clear, don’t do anything.”
My heart is racing, I know that Kolten can kill anytime. He must be very very mad and ready to kill.
Kolten’s pov
New York is a real big city.
Busy people, nonstop cars running. People running from side to side. I feel lost.
This is just my second time here. I am not sure of where I am going.
Right in front of me was a cab. I showed the address where I am going.
In front of me was the tall building, the building where one of its corner lies my son.
I used the passes card given by Alex to me. Thanks to him anyway.
The elevator in front of me was like inviting me to come in. Did it really felt that way? Or was I just excited to see Hale?
On my way up, I felt nervous. I don’t know what to do when I see them. I cannot kill Samuel in front of our son. It will leave a lifetime bad impression of me.
With the help of my accompanying bell connected to Hale, I was able to enter the unit with him opening it for me!
“Daddy?” Hale’s eyes were wide open.
He did not expect me to be here.
“Yes, I am here.” I cried then hugged him very tight.
“Why did you leave me? Do you not want me anymore?” I gently asked him.
“No daddy, I want you. I asked father king to take me with him.”
“Why did you?” I asked, I am trying to hold my anger. It can wait later.
“I ran after him daddy, I asked him to take me with him so that I will see this place. If that happens, I know where to take you if we will come to see him again.”
I was taken aback. This little boy of mine says this words so cleverly?
“Father king told me that after I am tired playing around, he will bring me home to you. But I think it will take a lot of time before I get tired. This place is really nice!” he is proud.
I looked around and saw Samuel looking at us. I avoided his eyes.
“So, do you like here?” I smiled and stroke his hair.
“Yes!” Can we stay here more? Maybe after I get tired roaming around then we can go home to my grandfathers.”
He pleaded to me.
“Of course yes! Now, you can go back to sleep. Your father King and I needs to talk.” I explained.
He was jumping and singing while heading towards the bedroom.
Right when Hale entered and closed the door that I went straight to Samuel.
“Why do you want to provoke me so bad?! How dare you always do this to me! What have I done to you?!”
Only then that all my tiredness growled out.
“I gave you everything! Every benefit of the doubts I gave to you! Bu up to the very last chance you chose to betray me! Tell me what I have done wrong to you!”
I am getting hysterical, but trying to hold my voice for my Hale not to hear.
I recounted everything in front of Samuel.
Samuel’s pov
Hearing every words coming from Kolten, I cannot protest because they were all right.
I let him vent his anger. I even prepared myself to get killed. I am in no position for excuses.
But seeing him hold his anger, trying hard not to burst it hurts me even deeper.
His expressions are more double the pain in my heart.
“Kill me. You can do everything you want to do to me. All rights are yours.”
I forwarded to him.
He was just looking at me with his eyes full of tears.
I cannot help but hug him. That even for the last time, I could make him feel my love and sincerity.
He did not disagree, when I hugged him.
“I am sorry, I never panned to take Hale with me. It was just that he was crying following me. Only then that I decided to take him with me. “
He did not move.
“Your fathers permitted me to take Hale. They believe that we can fix things that was why they allowed me to take him. They opened the gates for him. Did you think our son can climb the tall walls of your castle alone?”
I explained. I felt him stiffened in my arms for a while.
“I am really sorry for causing you so much pain. I made mistakes, I betrayed you I admit. I regret everything. I too, don’t know how to make up with you. It killed me even more when I heard that you don’t love me. But please just give me this time. Allow me to prove myself to you. Stay here with me, away from the wolf part of our lives. After all, we met in the human world, let us start again here.”
I was trying my very best to convince him.
Kolten’s pov
Hearing Samuel, I was shocked, so this is how and why things seems to be so connected and why I felt like something was unreal back when I was informed of Hale missing?
They all set me up!
Being in Samuel’s arms again. Seeing our son’s excitement to live here. It all took my angers away.
I buried my head in my man’s arms and cried. I am happy and exhausted. Things were just too much to process.
I choose to give it a try, and this time. I will make sure to help work things out.
Forget the past and move on.
Someday, yes one day things will fall in place.
Everyone will live in peace.
For now, I will enjoy the moment, let Samuel make things up with me.
Then maybe, we will talk about going back to our wolf world one day. Yes, one day, but not today.
