"You behave while I'm gone, okay? I expect no trouble from you."

"I'll be fine, big bro. When have you known me to cause trouble?" I giggled, squeezing him tight in our hug. Anthony was leaving to Garnet Moon and my heart wept. I knew this was coming, but it didn't make it any easier. I'll miss him terribly.

The others bid their Alpha farewell before returning inside the packhouse, leaving the two of us alone. They knew we needed a moment together before he left. This was different. This was unlike when I return to San José for the school year. I knew when I was coming back, and I was in a place where I was welcomed and loved for who I am. Here, I don't know when I'll return, and I was in a place I abhorred.

"You've grown and matured a lot, Little Bit," Anthony whispered, bright hazel swimming in distant memories. "I still can't believe how strong you've gotten. You amaze me and I know you'll get through this."

I nod, my smile was sincere. My eyes glazed with unshed tears. "Sometimes I wonder what my life would be if Mom and Dad didn't find me. Would I have still been a rogue? Would I have died?"

"That's why what-ifs should remain what-ifs. Fate brought my parents to you and blessed you with the joy you never got." He scoffs inaudibly, his eyes scanning not only the packhouse behind me but the surrounding territory. "This pack does not understand what they lost that day. But..." He looks back at me. "I'll never stop being proud of you. You're a trooper, Little Bit. And I love you so much."

"I love you too." I hugged my big brother one last time, my tears dripping onto his shoulder. I promised I wouldn't cry, but I couldn't keep them in any longer. I couldn't thank him and his family enough for keeping my hope and love alive.

I will make them proud, no matter what.

I waved goodbye to Anthony as I watched his van roll out of the territory, leaving me alone. It is a bittersweet separation, but I found myself at peace. Garnet Moon had given me the tools and the assurance to move forward with my life, and that is what I will do.

Once the black van faded from my sight, I headed back inside the packhouse on my way to the common room. The others and I were planning out the new training schedules and routines based on the files that Kwame had given us. We plan to assess the strength and aptitudes of all the fighter wolves later this afternoon.

HI

'Bossman is finally gone, huh?" Galen asked as I slumped on the couch next to him, crossing my feet on the table.

"Yep. It's just us now."

Sapphire passed me a couple of manilla files. "Time to get down to business. We already started on the first stack, so you can start on the other." Each file held the profile of each fighter wolf, labeling their basic stats such as how much weight they could lift and their running times. I also spotted basic information like their height, weight, and age. Every wolf we came across has its strengths and weaknesses we can work with.

Bonus But this is not enough. We need these wolves to become stronger because we do not have a timeline of when and where the next rogue attack could happen..

We spend the next hour and a half organizing and recandling dinwn the warrior wolves in our tablets to keep track of training status. We threw out ideas and suggestions for new items we could use in their new regimens. Since Zircon Moon decided to implement training regimens to the newly shifted pups, we needed t come up with a schedule and routine fit for the young wolves. I don't want to burden the young ones with so much when they already have school and friends to way alhout Speaking of wolves, I haven't seen Neron around. I spotted him when we were having breakfast earlier this morning, but he didn't stay for long. He looked speed and ate his food in his office, leaving no room for questions. I couldn't help but feel a sense of saudlines when I saw his nose had completely healed. That's werewolf healing for you.

He didn't even look me in the eye in the kitetem. took extra care to disguise my scent to keep him guessing.

After we all were done, I took the completed plans and files up to Neron's office. No one wanted to be in the same room as him without ripping his head off, soll was the best option. I didn't mind it. As I am walking up the stairs, a little bundle of joy bumped into my legs, not strong enough to push me off balance.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Oops! Sorry!"

My eyes dashed down to look at a little boy no more than five years old with a toy airplane in his tiny hands.. His youthful, medium-tanned skim ut fint amidgens of dirt, his curly mess of black hair rested on top of his small head, his eyes were bright emerald green with his cute button nose and full lips. When his eyes ment mine, an enormous smile appeared on his face.

"It's okay." I smiled. "You shall be careful of where you're going. You never know who you might rum int

"I saw you before! You were at the party last night!" He exclaimed, hopping in place. His buzzing excitement is contagious. "You will multe te wives very strong, right?"

I nodded. "Yep! That's the plum!"

"That's so cool!! Could be a string wolf too?" He asked me, his eyes shining. "Daddy always toit mell will grow up to be a big, strong wolf so I could protect my Mommy."

Chuckling, I kneeled his height, hugging the files close to my chest. "You are and you will be once your wo is born. I promise I stretched out my hand. "My name is Kiya. What's yours?"

"Adonis,, but everwane calls me Donny!" Adonis shakes my hand vigorously. "You're very praty, Miss Kiya. A Tot of us sapesa!!"

I blink. "Really? Well, that is sweet of you, Donny."

"Are you going to the Alpha's office? I can take you there!"

Adonis lauks more than excited to talk to me, judging by how he wouldn't stop wigting. Smiling, I rose to fi height andl incatided, allowing the young boy to lead me to Neron's office. He batibles on about his day in school and how he couldn't wait to get his wolf when he is older.

He was cute, reminding me of the over-energized children back at home. Pure and innocent. Adonis was just like them, and in my heart, I knew that he was one of the children I want to protect from danger. When he Chapter 44 - The Nephew

Bonu told me that he wanted to be a strong wolf, that couldn't be any farther from the truth.

The air around this child is different from the typical pup. Despite his age, anyone can tell that the blood flowing through Adonis is that of a ranked wolf. Powerful. My eyes widened and my breath hitched in my throat when I put the pieces together.

Oh, my Goddess! The power in his blood is like mine, Jackie's, and Dwayne's.

Adonis has Beta blood. He's Raina and Valerian's son. I couldn't believe that I was talking to my nephew.

06:11

My mind flashed back to that fateful day on the cliff, remembering how my sister's stomach was slightly poking out from her dress. I wished for whoever her child would be to not be evil like her and I'm here, watching that same child make airplane noises as he soars his toy in the air. A very, very deep part of me was saddened at this. Adonis has no idea that he is talking to his aunt. Was he even aware that he had an aunt?

Did Raina talk about me to him at all?

I rolled my eyes and scoffed. Who am I kidding? Raina didn't talk about me at all. All Adonis needed were his parents and grandparents. That saddened part of me quickly turned into anger over the fact that my nephew would never learn the truth about what his Mom did to me. Raina will always be the sweet, innocent mother and not the sinister demon who took pleasure in torturing me.

I shook those thoughts out of my head. Children do not hold the sin of their parents. Adonis is an innocent child who hasn't experienced the full pleasures of life, yet. He deserves to live out his life and happiness without me ruining it for him. I don't want to ruin the image he had of his parents. They were his superheroes. I'll only be here for the summer.

After that, Adonis would never see me again.

"Here we are!" He announced, presenting the mahogany double doors of the Alpha's office with an outstretched hand. Neron's scent permeated through the creases of the doors, announcing his presence inside. "Want me to knock for you?" "Oh no, you've done enough." I ruffled his curly hair, laughing. He squealed, batting my fingers away. Thank you very much, Donny. You've been a good helper." "You're welcome! See you later, Kiya!" And with that, the little trailblazer booked it down the corridor. disappearing into the fading light. Such a precious little boy. Turning to the door, I knocked hard three times. A gruff "Come in" was heard and I entered with my files at hand. Neron looked up from the paperwork he was doing, his eyes widening as I approached his desk.

"We're done." I slam the stack down in front of him. "We've come up with rough drafts of training schedules that we will discuss with you and your Gamma once we have om completed them. I am also developing a training regime for your newly shifted pups, which I will implement in the next day or two, depending on how many are interested in training. The files helped, giving us a sense of where your army is in terms of combat and skill, but we have some ideas of fresh ways to not only better strengthen your army but make them more

equipped to battle enemies beyond the typical rogues."

Neron stared at me, his eyes flicking from blue to black once again. It was almost unnoticeable if Dolinked, but I kept my eyes on him. Unwavering. "Yes. Thank you for your help. How

long will it be until I see a draft?"

"In an hour, give or take." I simpered. "We work fast."

"I see..."

"How's the nose?"

That broke Neron's indifferent gaze on me, his brief shock shifting into a scowl.

"Punching an Alpha is a punishable offense, Kiya. You don't want to be causing trouble here on your first day."

"Don't pin me against the wall then." I shrugged. "You got in my personal space, and I defended myself. Don't dish out what you cannot take, Alpha."

"Cockiness isn't attractive, woman."

"Neither is that look on your face, so we both lose."

He's getting irritated. Good. I could see a vein pulsating on the side of his V.e head. "Look. I'm sorry for the Way behave Nast night. That was improper of me, and I didn't mean to offend you. I don't know what came over

me."

"Control your wolf next time." I rolled my eyes. "Alphas need to have full control over their wolves and their actions. That I learned from my Alpha. Take responsibility. Don't find excuses."

FOST COMMENT:

Chapter Comments Screw taking back his rejection. He's worthless. Onyx is the true mate. Danan should reject Odessa and he and Kiya can be 2nd chance mates...still wish Onyx didn't have to suffer though Angle G. de Muñoz I'm loving her nick name. Little Bit.
