37 Hurting Too

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.

If you try to be indifferent, the child will blame me for it and hate us for it. Elisabeth will poison that child and talk about how Tia, the whore, stole her love from her. What if the child is a stronger alpha than mine. He

will put everything I have 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

I broke the hug so he could answer it. It was Bart again, and from the way the conversation was going, they needed him in the hospital. He hung up and looked at me, a bit worried, not knowing how he would tell me what he wanted to say. “It’s okay, Luke, go,” I said, and he looked worried. “Do you mind coming with me so we can go to check the house from there?” He asked, and I wanted to say no, but I knew it took a lot for him to ask that question. Stacy’s words lingered on my mind, and I decided I would apply myself and build something
