“I will mark you again Kimberley. You carried my only child and with that alone, I can’t have another man touching what is mine.” He says to me through gritted teeth.
I was clearly having an effect on him with the hardness pressing into my back but I wasn’t going to let that affect me too. He was a beast. What I did to him was purely sexual and my defiance wasn’t exactly helping.
I pulled away from his embrace and turned to face him. I had to muster up the strength and courage to say the next few words.
“If you want to mark me, you’ll have to die trying. Now if you ever touch me again, I will break your arm. Your alpha tone won’t work on me as I am not your mate nor your pack member any longer. Do well to remember that.” I say to him as I turn and walk away. This time, he lets me.
I stop right at the exit and turn to face him. He was frozen in place at the sheer force of my power. I hadn’t realized I had released my power on him.
“Our son will take his rightful place as alpha when he comes of age and your pack members can challenge him if they want. He is a Lycan as much as they are thanks to you and he will rule over them. Let that sink in.” I say and then walk away linking my father to let Max out.
I walked calmly to my room to find Josey placing my son in his bassinet. My brave little warrior. My survivor. He survived so many near death experiences with Max sleeping with the she wolfs.
Adrastos.
My littles Adrastos Marcel Forrest.
“Adrastos…” I said in a whisper and Josey looked up to me and she smiled.
“It’s fitting with what you have both been through.” She says to me before looking back at my son and leaning in to give him a kiss on the forehead.
“He is a brave little one, isn’t he?” She says to me and I nod. He finally had a name. Adrastos meant brave and that’s exactly what my son was.
“So, is he a Trent or?” Josey asks me and I smile. That would be ideal but for him to be the rightful heir to Green Forrest pack, he had to carry Max’s last name.
“Adrastos Marcel Forrest.” I say and Josey nods.
“Why Forrest?” Josey asks but I don’t get a chance to answer as I’m pushed against a wall and a hand wrapped around my neck.
Josey screams as all of this happens waking Adrastos in the process who cries his lungs out. Max throws my body towards his bassinet but Josey acts quickly and moves me out of the way. My back hits a wall and I hear a crack. Josey gasps at me.
“That child will not be a Forrest! I forbid it.” Max lashes out. I try to stand as my father and Cj run into the room, taking in what just transpired.
Cj let out a feral growl before he shifted into his wolf, his clothes shredded mid change as he runs to protect my son.
“I don’t think you can make that call. Only the council will decide on that. You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to kill a defenseless pup.” My father says to Max.
“I don’t care about that child. I disown him and I will never let him rule. He will have to kill me first.” He spits out.
I release my power, all of it.
It was stronger now with the extra strength to protect my child. Everyone took a step back from me as I stand straight and I snap a broken bone on my arm in to place.
“He will be your undoing. I will personally see to it that he challenges you before he even comes of age and humiliates you in front of your pack. We all know his strength will be immeasurable and since you can’t even defeat me, what chance do you have with a Lycan that is gifted?” I say to him.
I walk to my son who was being rocked by Josey. I take him from her.
“You think I’ll let him live long enough to challenge me?” He says to me and grabs the coffee table by the couches as Cj intercepts his next move and runs to attack him but he’s too late as the table is in the air heading straight for me and my son.
A blue orb surrounds me and the table falls to the floor. Everyone looks at me but I’m looking at Adrastos as he looks up at me. My son did that, I could feel his power. He protected us as he sensed my fear.
I looked up at Max and smirked. His eyes were bulged out as his head began to register what just happened.
He tried to speak but the words wouldn’t come out.
“You need to leave. You now know what you’re up against.” I said to him and then I looked at my father then Cj, without having to say anything they got my message as they pushed Max out of my room.
The blue orb disappeared the minute I was calm as I sensed Max wasn’t in the house. Josey walked in from standing on the balcony to also confirm that Max was indeed gone.
