But you have to believe that I would never take him from you. I want… my family. I want you.”
He stood tensed, fists clenched on both sides. Maybe waiting for me to say something. I could hear his rapid heartbeat. His anxiety and sorrow were mine too. It was almost overwhelming.
But what could he possibly be worried about? I was at his mercy.
“Well, I’m flattered and all, but I’m with someone else now. You have access to your child,” I said with my head bowed. “So none of what you’ve said changes the fact that I shouldn’t have your mark.”
“I made things easy for you, Sara. Now, you don’t have to pretend you want that sergeant anymore! Wait, you know he wouldn’t dare come near you now, don’t you? Not when he knows you belong to me.” His voice grew hard.
“I don’t belong to-”
“Careful!” He said gently, taking a few steps closer.
“Don’t come any closer, please,” I said, moving back. Not from fear.
I was far from being afraid. We were bonded again, and my emotions were a mess. The poison had worn off. There would be no excuse for allowing a repeat of the night before.
“Okay. I’ll stand here.”
“Are you keeping me prisoner? Your mother said I’m your property now. You told me not to
mind her.”
Safer discussion.
“No, you’re not a prisoner.” He shook his head rapidly.
“I wished you would stay. At least, till the results of the tests come out. But if you don’t want to, Hayes will get you back to town.”
He took another step back, taking a deep breath.
“I’m going to finish taking care of things here before getting back to the resort.”
I nodded. He had more to say but seemed cautious. I changed my mind about my resolve and asked,
earlier
“Why didn’t you tell your parents about us back then?

I’ve heard that if you told them we were fated, I would’ve joined your household.”
“As my sex servant,” he said simply.
“I see. Sex servant and breeder,” I muttered.
“No, I doubt they’d let you breed. What they could do is hurt your womb to keep you from bearing the next heir,” he remarked.
“Have you heard of the occult records of the pack? Very few have. It contains secrets and private lives of the first and second family. Only the Alpha and his beta have access. The heir also does as soon as he turns seventeen. Part of his training.
Forest Moon has endured for hundreds of years. Of all of the Alphas that have come and gone, only four found fated mates, including me.
Of the three before me, One, my grandfather’s dad, was fated to an omega. And like me, he found her when he was a mere heir.
I saw things, Sara, I mean, read. Horrific things. I’m not supposed to tell you the details. But let’s just say you wouldn’t want to be that she wolf. No one would.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I just said I’m not supposed to. We don’t discuss these things openly, not among us elites. It’s called the occult records for a reason.
Also, I made you sign stuff. Thought that was self–explanatory.”
“Self–explanatory how?”
“My sister told me how the girls gave you trouble for playing with her in middle school.”
“She knew about that?”
“Yeah, that’s why she stopped talking to you. Plus, my mother complained.
I thought you knew why we had to be a secret, Sara. Fated or not, there was no way you’d be okay if people knew about us.
But that has changed. I’m Alpha now. I can protect my own. I can keep my family safe.”
“I was still your sex servant in the end, wasn’t I? A secret one,” I said.
His eyes hardened, and I almost regretted bringing up this line of conversation.
“Is that what you think you were to me?”

He started to advance towards me again when something caught his attention.
In a moment, I realized what it was as the banging came on the door.
“Alex?” I gasped. “What… how?”
“I was getting to the part where I told you he’s here,” he replied, moving to the door to open it.
“Mommeee,” my son ran into my arms as Nick stepped aside.
