“I am sending it to you right now.” She replies with a fiery urgency.
“Thanks, D,” I whisper, closing my eyes.
“Oh, and Layla, you know what?” She hisses.
“What?” I smack my forehead despite all the frustration.
“I am coming there to kick his ass with you!” She scoffs before hanging up on me.
I stare at the phone in my hand. I know there is no stopping Daphne when she decides something, so all I can do now is to make sure we kick Alpha Alexander’s ass instead of getting it the other way around.
ALEXANDER
– Two Days Ago –
“All the reports are clear, Alpha.” Serafina, the pack doctor, sighed in relief.
“Why did she faint then?” I frown.
“She was in shock. She also hit her head, but she healed, so everything is perfect. She is in great health, and I believe-” She hesitates.
“Believe what?” My eyes narrow on her.
“I believe she inherited your abilities. Her blood is strong.” She adds with a tight-lipped smile.
Now, this is a good news and a bad news at the same time. Inheriting my abilities means my daughter will be stronger and better than most of the werewolves alive, but this also means she will have lots of enemies after her. But I am here to protect her. I will get rid of every single motherfucker who ever poses a threat to her life and happiness.
This includes her good-for-nothing mother, who failed to protect my daughter. I don’t want to think what would have happened to the little angel if I was not around.
I knew Layla would try to run away after my threat because that’s what she did last time. I was waiting for her to come out of the pack territory so I could grab her without starting a war with Alpha Marcus, but I was not expecting to find my daughter with her.
Layla said she killed her, and I believed her like an idiot. I mourned the loss of my child, whom I thought was murdered and whom I would never get to meet. It was already hard for me to have children, and I believed Layla had taken away something precious from me.
This infuriates me. That woman stole all these years from me. I was not there when the baby was born, and I was not there to show her love when she needed it. I was not there to shower her with gifts and my affection. She must hate me and think her Dad is a loser who abandoned her.
I swear if my daughter hates me like I suspect, I am going to make Layla suffer for it. That’s the only thing I would love to do to her.
“I should go now,” Serafina says, bringing me back from my train of thought.
I nod and refuse to say anything more to her. She is not only the pack doctor but also my Gamma, David’s mate. They found each other four years ago and have been inseparable ever since. They are strong together, and I thought I would have the same bond with my mate, but Layla ruined everything.
“She woke up, by the way. You should go inside and talk to her, Alpha.” Serafina whispers softly before taking her leave.
My heart jumps in my throat. My daughter, my flesh and blood, and a part of me are so close. She is the only family I have come to know in so long, and I can’t bring myself to meet her.
She has been unconscious for a whole day, and only I know how I suffered when I saw her like this. Now, she is awake, and I don’t know what I am going to tell her.
I shake my head and turn to the closed door. Anger burns in my veins, along with nervousness. If Layla hadn’t done this to me, I wouldn’t have spent so much time outside this stupid door.
Pushing the emotions at the back of my head, I open the door and enter my room. The little ray of sunshine is sitting on the bed. A grey blanket covers her small legs. I lift my gaze to her face and meet her silver eyes.
Everything in me stills. It’s impossible for me to breathe for a while. I didn’t think it was possible to see someone and feel like the world was bright and complete. It’s an instant connection and a strong one.
She is my daughter. She is family.
My throat clogs at the thought.
“Where is Mommy?” She asks in her tiny voice.
My shoulders stiffen. This is the first time I have heard her talk, and I don’t want her to stop after this.
“She is away at the moment. “I tell her softly.
“Who are you?” Her nose scrunches.
Her bright eyes search my face. Intelligence reflects in her gaze. It’s clear that her brain has developed far ahead of her age, and it’s all because of my blood running in her veins. Affection and pride fill me.
“I am- – – “How do I tell her that I am her Dad?
She kicks the blanket away with her feet and folds her arms arrogantly. Her little brows join in the middle as she pouts.
“You are Daddy.” Her lips pucker some more.
Shock makes my brows shoot to my hairline. I watch her curiously.
“How do you know?” I wonder.
It’s impossible for children to feel anything adult werewolves can. I can tell she is my daughter, but she can’t feel the same connection unless she turns eighteen and becomes a wolf.
She unfolds her arms and points at her eyes. I look into them. It feels like I am watching my eyes in a mirror.
“We have the same eyes, and you are worried for me.” She states, as a matter of fact.
My eyes soften. A smile tugs my lips.
“I am Dad. “I nod, feeling my heart swelling inside my chest.
She jumps down from the bed quickly and runs in my direction. I stare at her approaching small body. She wraps her arms around my right leg and cranes her neck to throw me an excited smile.
“You came. Mommy said you will come for us.” She yells enthusiastically.
I bend down and pick her up. She is soft and too small for my hands. I press her to my chest. Warmth fills me from the inside out. Coldness leaves me alone for the first time in decades.
“Daddy. I waited so long, and you are here now. I will tell Amara about it, and she will be jealous. “She kisses my cheeks, taking me by surprise.
“Who is Amara? “I wonder while my hand brushes her soft curls.
It all feels natural. It doesn’t seem like we are meeting for the first time. I don’t know if it’s because my heart is connected to her or if it’s because she is not showing me the hostility I expected.
“She is my babysitter.” She tells me.
I chuckle.
“What?” She grabs my face between her palms.
“Babysitter. “I correct her cute mistake.
