89 Weird Goodbyes 

Tia 

Luke returned to the bedroom late in the night. He looked ured. I watched him go into the bathroom and return to the room. 

“How was it at the park with Kirk?” he asked, climbing into bed next to me. I snuggled close to him, and he kissed me. 

“It was okay, but it wasn’t fun without you,” I told him, and he held me close. “I am sorry I didn’t come, Tia Father was putting me through a lot. I could not get away.” he said and sighed. ‘So, are you pumped up for tomorrow?” I asked him, and he nodded; I was glad he wasn’t as nervous as I was “Father seemed a bit gloomy today,” he confessed, leaving an opening for me to discuss Stacy with him. 

‘Of course, he will be, Luke. He separated from his mate Even if he claims they were not bonded, he has been with her most of his active years. He will feel the void. I must say that he is handling it better than she is.” I said, and he giggled. 

“Do not let Stacy fool you She is seeking attention. You will be shocked what will happen once she gets it.” he said, and I knew this wasn’t the case 

“I doubt it, Luke. You should see her. She was selling her jewellery today. Claiming you will kick her out after the handover.” I told him, and he sat up in shock. 

‘It must be pretence; she loves flashy stuff” Luke said, and I shook my head. “Something is wrong with that woman She hasn’t come out and eaten in four days, Luke. She has lost a lot of weight. She wreaks out of fear, and she is selling her stuff. I think she is still in trouble with her ex.” I said to him, and he shrugged his shoulder. 

“If she needed help, she would have come clean. Leave her to deal with her shit Tia. It is really none of our business.” He said to me, and I sighed. 

‘It is our business, Luke. If anything happens to that woman, it will affect Caleb. You might hate her, but you have a sibling, thanks to her. You won’t be alone like your father. Caleb might say he doesn’t care right now, but if she dies, he will become resentful of you and your father. Remember how you felt when you believed your father had a hand in your mother’s death?” I said, and he shook his head angrily. 

“That is different.” He argued. 

“It is not Luke. Stacy is Caleb’s mother. No matter how bad she is, she is his mother, and he will feel it if anything happens to her. If you don’t want to help her, at least do it for Caleb’s sake. He is a wonderful brother to you, and he is a hundred per cent loyal. He isn’t competing with you or fighting you. It is a rare kind of commitment.

As much as I was concerned about Stacy, I could not fight Luke over it. He kissed my neck where he claimed me, and I felt the lingle move through my body.

She did not carry Aesop scent, so I knew they were not together, but she looked happy. She was definitely up to something. I looked at Caleb, and he shrugged. Monica sat quietly at the table’s end, looking worried. When Aesop came, he froze. He wasn’t expecting Stacy at the table. As soon as he sat, she got up and went to sit next to Monica as far away from Aesop

Aesop finally asked her; I realised why, and she smiled at

You will make an excellent Alpha,” she said to him, smiling, and I was perturbed now. This was very unlike Stacy. “I wish I could give you pointers for being Luna Tia, but I wasn’t ever good for anything,” She said and drank her juice. I guess she got on Aesop’s nerves,
