Chapter 97

“There is a baby with them!” Greyson shouted even before he opened the door to Althea’s bedroom

Alex was eating with Althea. She didn’t eat much, but she would eat better if Alex ate with her, thus he would make time to eat together with her three times a day. He put so much effort to nurse her back to her health, not only physically, but also mentally

She looked a lot better now with Alex’s presence.

They had not talked much about what happened between them because most of the time, they spent in comfortable silence, just to be in the presence of each other.

“Jasmine..” Althea dropped her spoon, she was about to get off the bed and rush to meet those people.

Alex glared at his royal gamma because he simply barged into the room and dropped the information without any scrupulous

“Have you confirmed the baby is Jasmine?” Alex asked sharply.

He had pura lot of effort to bring Althea out of her shell, but if Greyson just told them this news and let their hope high, he was afraid, Althea would be more crushed than this.

“Hm.. about that..” Greyson immediately realized his error and looked mortified to make Althea’s hope so high.

The woman literally was about to dash out of the room now if it was not for Alex, who stopped her.

“Check on that first.”

“Our man has been escorting them to the pack. They will be here in four hours if it’s not five..”

Because they were so deep in the mountain, even if they shifted into their beasts, it still took them that long to reach the pack.

“I want to see them, let’s meet halfway,” Althea couldn’t help, but suggested. She struggled against Alex’s grip, she hated it when he made a point of how strong he could be.

“You will not go anywhere, sweatheart, until you finished your meal,” Alex said calmly, though he threw a dagger look at his gamma for being inconsiderate jerk, but when his gaze fell on his mate, his eyes softened.

Greyson wanted to claw a hole or run away from the king’s wrath. He was too excited, okay, but he knew he was being an idiot for not checking on it first.

Finish your meal and we will go after that.”

Althea wanted to argue, but Alex showed it to her that there was no room for discussion, thus all she could do begrudgingly eating her meal and they went to meet those people half way.

his was also the first time for Althea to meet with her father, mother and.. Killian again.

Everything will be alright, sweety,” Brian said.

and she look a little bit hesitated “Can I give you a hug?” she asked carefully, prepared herself for the

Chapter 97

However, it was Alhes, who made the move first, she went to hug her mother and breathed deeply. She was so tired, she didn’t have the energy to hair anyone else right now, thus it was easier to just accept it.

Probably, because Althea also knew that her mother had been there, taking care of her at the lowest point of her life, where she didn’t even recognize herself

It was not much, it wouldn’t immediately make her forgiven for what she had done to her in her entire life, but it was a step. At the very least, she showed an effort and Althea was already so tired of holding a grudge

She wanted her daughter, there was nothing else matter

Even when Althea saw Killian, she felt nothing toward him, there was no sadness, hatred, fear, or anything. There was nothing. He felt like a stranger that she just met today, a stranger with a lot of bad memories, but she was numb toward him.

The alpha looked disheveled, he must have lost so many weight, dark circles under his eyes.

Althea looked away from him and released her body. She looked at Alex and hugged him, as they waited patiently until those royal warriors arrived here, as they escorted the people with the baby.

It took then twenty minutes until they showed up and the moment they were here, Althea knew immediately. She could smell her scent, her scent hit her so hard.

“Jasmine!” Althea was the first person, who rushed ahead and grabbed her daughter from one of the beast’s back, as the baby was sitting there.

Jasmine looked fine, she cried when Althea hugged her so hard, she thought she almost crushed her baby, but the little one kept calling her.

*Momma momma why didn’t you

come!”

“I am sorry, baby. I am sorry” Althea hugged her tightly, she didn’t want to let her go.

Meanwhile, the other three beasts finally shifted into their human form and were relief that they finally found the baby’s family.

*We found her deep in the forest, she was almost mauled by a wild animal, therefore, we took her in, but she couldn’t say where she lived, or what park she came from. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

One of them started to explain what happened and they apologized because they didn’t try to go to look for her family sooner, since they were in rush to get to their destination.

However, one of them looked at Killian with a curios expression Are you alpha Killian?”

Killian looked at ham. “Yes I am”

The man looked besitated, but finally he blurted it out. “Can I meet with Willow for a while?”

Killian narrowed his eyes because of this weird request.”

“Who are you?

The man once again, looked hesitated, but then he replied. “I was her destined mate.
