“Kimberley, I fucked up. I know. It was a stretch thinking I’d be able to get you back but it was worth a try. My actions, my rewards. I know. There’s not a day that goes by and I don’t think about how good I had it. My friends won’t even let me forget it. I still love you, Sabrina and I always will. It was stupid of me to think I could just replace you. Look at you, you’re just amazing. I find myself going to our old room to relive all the memories we made in there. The night out son was conceived keeps playing in my head and the guilt triples over. I can’t tell you how much it means to me for you to forgive me… I don’t deserve it. I don’t know if I’ve ever gone a day without actually crying. I cry for the broken family we have because of me. If someone would’ve told me I’d treat you that way five years ago, I would’ve told them I’d never but look at us now. All I can do now is be the father my son needs even though I’ve got a little competition in that department. Look, I want my son to take over after me, I really do. I just hope he chooses the Forrest name over Creek. I am his blood and this pack will easily follow him because of his blood.” He says to me and I nod in understanding.
“That will be his decision to make still.” I say as we begin to walk in the direction of the entrance of Max’s pack house. I link X as I see my grandfather’s car pull up to reveal Dorothy.
We were going to let Max have Adrastos for the week while we go on our honeymoon.
“I hope you have fun with the little one and I hope one day, we can be friends again.” I say and I pull him in for a hug.
Xander walks up to the car to help Dorothy with her luggage and the baby’s. He gives the bags to Max and stands by my side.
My grandfather doesn’t get out of the car to greet, no. He drives off without a word. My family was still mad at Max and who could blame them?
I say my goodbyes to Damon, Tristan and Nicole before I walk to the car where Xander waits for me with the door open for me. I get in and he closes the door and walks over to the driver’s seat and gets in. He starts the engine as I watch Max holding Adrastos.
I was going to miss him so much but I also wanted him to spend time with Max. This was how it was going to be until he is old enough to decide for himself.
I looked at Xander and smiled.
“To the airport!” I say out loud and X chuckles with me as he repeats me words.
My happy ending just beginning.
We had decided to go on a safari trip so we could be one with nature. Shift at night in to our wolves and run around trying to turn a game drive in to a game run.
To see a lion up close but to not try and scare the elephants. I wanted no problems with those giants.
We arrived at the airport. I had asked my grandfather to have the jet ready for us so we didn’t have to travel commercial. I wanted Xander to myself from the time we take off, to the time we get back.
I got out of my car to see my nana. I had not seen this woman since my mother’s burial. I asked her to stay away from me but here we are. I growled in annoyance.
“Hello Sabrina. I think it is time we talked.” She said to me and I rolled my eyes, closed my door and walked past her. I did not want drama, not today. I took out my phone to call my grandfather and ask him why he told this woman I’d be here.
“He doesn’t know that I’m here.” She tells me and I stop walking. The weather takes a dark turn. The crystal clear blue skies go grey in a matter of seconds.
I realized my nana was not here to try and fix things.
“You killed Reginald.” She says to me and I nod.
Her wolf growls, not liking my quick answer. Xander walks up to stand by my side.
‘I can handle her. You get on the plane.’ I say to X. He reluctantly walks away, taking the last of our luggage to follow the cabin crew.
Everyone had boarded the flight but me. I could see the two pilots in the cockpit.
“What would you have done?” I ask her. She walks up to me and we stand eye to eye, our noses almost touching.
“I wouldn’t have killed someone’s son.” She tells me.
“That son killed my mother while you watched and he brought an army that killed my warriors.” I say, getting annoyed with my nana defending her lunatic of a son.
“So an eye for an eye?” She asked me.
“What are you getting at?” I ask, folding my arms for that added effect.
“You killed my son.” She says and I scoff .
“The son that you abandoned? The very same son that wanted to use me as a breeding machine?” I ask her.
Was this woman insane?
“This was my chance to make things right. To finally get the chance to be with my son.” Nana says.
“He killed my mother before I had that chance to be with her.” I say,
“Now, your son was a mental case. There was no saving him.” I say, walking away from her.
A black Range Rover swerves up next to us and my grandfather comes running out.
He looks at my grandmother,
“Don’t do this. Sabrina has been through enough as it is. She’s your granddaughter for goodness sake!” He says and I turn to look at her.
She smiled at me.
“I know I can’t kill you, so I’ll settle for taking your mate from you. He is an easier kill and you will hurt like I am hurting for Reginald.” She says before the plane exploded from the cockpit, the fire moving fast as it engulfs the plane.
Panic sets in as I look for Xander inside the plane. He’s punching the window, trying to fight his way out before the fire gets to him.
I have a gust of wind throw my nana out of my way and Athena takes control immediately.
All of a sudden, the air changes. Athena’s power comes out in waves.
I felt different, new.
