“Whatever.”
The apparition faded as I wiped my eyes.
I was tired and saw things. That wasn’t my ex-girlfriend. She went years ago.
Dazed, I returned with Dason. The figure I saw gave me difficulty.
POV: Dason
Jeric worked on paperwork as I put on a dress for tomorrow’s event.
I visited his office.
I flirted with Jeric but he wasn’t interested.
“Was he sick? Too hard? ”
“Don’t worry about me. I’ve been busy these last few days. I’ll be OK when things quiet down,” he said.
One of Jeric’s servants told me, “A she-wolf wants to meet.”
I questioned the attendant, “Did she provide her name?”
“She was probably Alice .”
“Alice ?”
Jeric’s face became pale before I could think more.
She was Jeric’s?
POV: Jeric
Alice ?
The name chilled my blood.
After losing my memories, I dated Alice .
Alice said she had an incurable condition, which ended our relationship.
She vanished without a word.
I couldn’t accept Alice ‘s withdrawal from my life. I looked for her for a long time but found nothing. I even felt she had lied. I didn’t expect her to arrive here at this exact moment. Dason said, “Are you okay, Jeric? You don’t look well.”
“Don’t worry,”
I stumbled up and said, “Let Alice in.” I didn’t know why, but I was terrified to face my ex-girlfriend. I stared at Dason, anxious about what would happen next.
A gorgeous, pale she-wolf wore worn-out clothes.
Her look made me step back subconsciously.
She hardly aged.
She was also with a little kid.
The youngster resembled Alice . Possibly her kid.
POV: Alice
I followed the attendant eagerly.
When I entered, Allen was standing with wide eyes.
We fell in love years ago.
I eagerly awaited our wedding.
The Alpha of another werewolf pack wanted me as his mistress.
The Alpha’s terms made me pause.
Allen was Stephan Buther’s attendant,
We wouldn’t live lavishly if I married him.
Allen loved me but couldn’t give me what I wanted.
I shuddered at the prospect.
Even though we loved one other, Allen wasn’t my future.
I covertly dated the affluent Alpha till I fell pregnant.
To make Allen give up on me, I told him I was dying.
I left him for a wealthy Alpha and joined a new pack, but things didn’t go as planned.
After the baby was born, I imagined Alpha would marry me and I’d live my dream life.
The Alpha soon bored of me.
He told me to go with my kid, so we wandered.
I was scared. I got lucky then.
I reached Moonlight Pack two days ago.
I saw a newspaper picture of Jeric and learnt Allen’s identify.
He was brother of former Alpha Daniell.
I tried my luck with him.
I went up to him holding my child’s hand.
Allen sympathized with us when I let a few tears fall.
Every time I sobbed, he indulged me.
“Yes…”
I knew he’d be suspicious, so I came up with an excuse.
I wanted him to take me in so I could be his Luna and live luxuriously.
“Allen… no, Jeric, I never thought I’d see you again in my lifetime. I didn’t tell you then, but I was pregnant when I discovered about my sickness. I left so I wouldn’t be a burden to you and sought out physicians to treat me. Finally, a cure for my uncommon ailment was found and the baby was delivered safely.
When I mentioned the baby, Jeric looked under my legs.
“Now that my disease is cured, I’ve been traveling and looking for you. As you can see, your son and I stayed safe. And then, I saw your photo in the newspaper. I didn’t think I’d find you in this place. We’ve been struggling, but now we’re reunited. I’m here today because I was hoping you could take us in.”
I stroke ted’s shoulder and say, “This is your 3-year-old son, Bruce. He’s a smart kid. You’ll enjoy him.”
Bruce greeted Jeric with “Hi, Dad”
POV: Dason
Jeric’s face seemed trance-like.
My instincts were correct. Something was odd.
My heart stopped when I saw Alice holding the kid. I think she’s Jeric’s ex-girlfriend.
Who was her kid then? Bruce called Jeric his dad, answering my unasked question.
I froze, feeling like a lightning hit me.
I never expected Jeric’s supposed-dead ex-girlfriend would return.
Jeric shook Alice ‘s arms wildly. He was more surprised than I was.
“Jeric, he’s your kid! When I left you, I was pregnant. Bruce is three now. You can calculate the time. true. your It’s He’s son,”
Alice looked at Jeric and said forcefully.
“Jeric, we were together so long. Don’t you trust me?”
Jeric groaned and drifted off, “I don’t trust you, Alice .”
I have a mate and will marry him shortly.
“Are you abandoning me and our kid for a man, Jeric?” Alice ailed.
After hesitating, Jeric drew me close.
“Alice , this is Dason.”
“Dason, hello.”
Alice smiled at me with restraint.
Jeric’s kid with Alice upset me the most.
“Jeric, I know you’ll be Alpha of the Moonlight Pack soon. I wouldn’t think of being your Luna. I’m not suitable for such a position. All I want is for you to take me and my kid in. Please don’t make me walk the streets with Bruce.”
As her face paled, she passed out.
Jeric brought her to bed and phoned the doctor.
The unmasked feelings on his face made me cry.
Alice , the lady he once loved, returned with a Stephan Buther and I went to Jeric’s room when we heard Alice had returned.
Jeric and Dason stood worriedly at the bed.
“Jeric, Dason, what happened?”
“She passed out from malnourishment. She’s too frail to handle mental stress. If you take excellent care of her, she’ll recover,” the doctor said, putting down the stethoscope.
Jeric groaned and buried his head.
“I feel awful for Alice and Bruce, but also Dason.
Daina’s pov
I smiled at Alice while holding Stephan Buther’s hand.
“I just heard about what happened to you. I’m sorry for what you’ve been through, but I have a few questions you must answer honestly. What was the name of the ailment you had? How was it treated? And how can you establish that Bruce is my uncle’s child?
I had to be careful since he’d soon be Alpha of the Moonlight Pack.
Alice and Bruce’s arrival was coincidental.
