37 Hurting Too

Tia.

Stacy’s words had struck home, and I knew she was telling the truth no matter how much Luke tried to assure me. I am sure Alpha Aesop had assured her several times about Luke, and look where they were now. Her son had nothing, and Luke had everything. What if the same happens to me and my children. The child was still Luke’s child, and I could not let Luke love the child less. Elisabeth will forever be a permanent fixture in our lives because she was the mother of his child. Where will that leave me? Where will that leave my children?

I ate my breakfast in silence while Luke tried to assure me. He touched my thighs and tried to tease me like he usually did, but it had no effect on me. Stacy’s words kept playing in my mind. Soon we finished and excused ourselves. While we walked back to our wing, Luke had a call, and it was from Bart. I began to hope it was terrible news that Elisabeth had lost the baby. I know it was cruel, but my fear for myself and my unborn children made me think that way.

“Okay, Thank you, Bart,” He said, and I knew she was alright because he did not exclaim or do anything serious. The moment we entered our bedroom. I went to change my clothes to something casual. I was silent all through, and there was tension in the air. Luke decided to break the silence.

“Tia..” he said, and I shook my head. “Don’t talk about it, Luke,” I said, trying to shut him up. “Why shouldn’t I talk about it? You are all worked up because of it,” he pointed out, and I shook my head.

He will inherit you, and where will that leave me and my children, Luke? Elisabeth won the moment she got pregnant with your baby,” I said to him, and he bowed his head in shame. “I am the one that has to catch up and try to meet up. I am second.” I said to him, and I did not know tears were streaming down my eyes. “Your father has accepted the child as your heir before meeting the child. Where does that leave me, Luke? Maybe you should have annulled the marriage when you found out

in your name Tia; you know that our children will always come first, and they will inherit me. Do not let what Stacy says get to you. Do not compare the way I am to my father with Elisabeth’s child to me. My mother was my father’s mate and wife. He married her and claimed her; I am a legitimate son. Elisabeth’s child is illegitimate. My father does not determine who will be my heir. I will, and it will be our children, Tia. All this love we have for each other must amount to something. Our children will be the product of our love. How then will they not be my heirs? They will be our legacy together, Tia. I meant what I said, and you can hold me to it. Other than being Alpha of the pack. Our children will take it all. The pack isn’t mine to give, so if her child is a stronger Alpha, he will have to lead, but Diamond corp and everything we will build together will go to our babies. I promise you, Tia. I promise to put it in writing if you do not believe me. As for Elisabeth, I am cutting off from her completely.” He said, but I shook my head. “You can’t, Luke. You can’t because you have a child to raise together,” I said to him, and he held me tight because he knew I was right. Why did Elisabeth do this to us?
