Dangerous Desires Novel

Chapter 102

102 The Talk Caleb I woke up early in the morning and discussed some things with Luke via the mind link. After the discussion, I got ready to go to the hospital. I did not tell Luke about the state of the military. He wasn‘t going to leave the house that day, so I decided I would allow him a few hours to enjoy his peace of mind with Tia before dropping the bomb about the state of our military. While I was getting ready to head out, Kimberly frowned at me. “Did your brother not just return?” she asked me, thinking I was off to perform Alpha duties. For a woman that wanted to be Luna, by all means, she did not seem to like the whole Alpha thing. I began to laugh. I shook my head and arranged the collar of my shirt, looking at her. 

“No, Baby. I am not resuming as Alpha. I promised father I would spend some time with him at the hospital today, and I want to give him a piece of uplifting news about Luke‘s return. His soul needs it.” I said, and she smiled at me. She went to check Emma in the crib and then walked to me to kiss me on the cheek. 

“Thank goddess, your brother is back; Tia will return to being her old self. I really miss her. I had to start hanging with my mother because I did not want to be in her space.” Kimberly confessed, and I laughed. I grabbed her close and kissed her. Taking in her scent, I kissed her neck where my mark should be resting, and she moaned. “Marry him. I want us to be a proper family.” I pleaded with her just as I do every morning, hoping that she would say yes and we could move forward one day. She moved away from me. i 

“You promised you won‘t trouble me about this, Caleb,” she said. I zipped my lips with my finger, and the gesture made her laugh. I kissed her and left the room. 

I got to the hospital in a rush. There was a peaceful protest along the road leading to the mansion and in the city‘s heart, making it hard to manoeuvre. People were carrying plaque cards with all sorts of terrible things written on them. They lamented how we do not care for them and want them to starve to death. Some requested Luke to address them after they had been told he was kidnapped. People were just unreasonable. This event was long overdue. Woodclaw city was broke; they depended on Eastwood. While I looked at their angry, demanding faces, I was disgusted and angry. The Moons risked their lives times without number to make sure they were happy and safe, yet this was how they decided to pay us. By protesting and making us out to be monsters. 

My father sat on the couch in my mother‘s hospital room, reading a book. I now knew where Luke got his dedication from. He obviously got it from my father. My father looked up at me and smiled, then looked at my mother. 

“How are you?” he asked me, and I‘nodded. I went to sit next to him and looked at my mother. I knew better than to ask if there was any improvement. I knew that would be insensitive of me to ask, and I did not want to do something that would be insensitive. My mother lay quietly there as if she did not have a care. She looked clean and cared for, but she had lost the little weight she had on, and I wondered when my father would accept her fate and pull the plug. He keeps saying wolves can‘t die like this, but he forgets she had silver in her system. 

“If only she was this peaceful when she was awake,” my father said, and I smiled and looked at 

her. 

“If she was peaceful at all,” I corrected, and we both chuckled. “I know I sound like a crazy man, but I want her to wake up. I know if I hold on long enough, the goddess will wake her up,” he said, and I looked at him. His eyes were red, and I knew he lingered there not out of love but because he wanted closure. He wanted her to wake up and tell him all that Monica said was not true. He wanted her to explain why she lied to him and deceived him. He wanted to understand why and I could not blame him for it. The things Monica had said were shocking to anyone. Being married to another man‘s wife unknowingly is wrong. I hoped she would wake up and answer all the questions swimming in his mind. My father needed closure, and the only person that could give that to him was my mother.

I understood his joy. “That must have been difficult for him to accomplish,” he said, and I sighed. “Father, I need to tell you something,” I said, deciding to open up about our military to him. He was in shock by the time was I through.
