His Knees, His Pleas, But Our Son's in Peace

Carlos regarded me for a moment before responding. "That's up to you, Doris. But remember, helping him might pull you into something dangerous. The Dark Spectre Pack doesn't care about family ties. They only care about power and money. If you get involved, it could put you and Cyrus at risk."[]

"I know you're right," I sighed, feeling a wave of sadness spread over me. "As much as I want to help, I can't sacrifice everything for a man who never cared for me. He made his bed; now he has to lie in it."

"I'll think about it," I whispered, though deep down, I understood the truth. I had Cyrus to think about, and the pack members who depended on me. I couldn't risk everything for Stefan. He had made his choices, and now he had to face the consequences.] Still, the hurt stayed with me. The thought of my father in danger tore at my heart.]

As I wrestled with my emotions, Carlos shifted the conversation. "On a brighter note, Cyrus's training is going really well," he said with a small smile. "He's becoming more flexible, strong, and resourceful. I can tell he's going to be a great Alpha one day."]. Pride swelled within me at the mention of Cyrus. "He's come so far," I said, my voice soft with emotion. "I'm so proud of him."

Carlos nodded. "He's smart and strong, but he still has a lot to learn. He needs experience in different climates and tough conditions."

"But we live in a warm city. How can he do that?" I asked, puzzled.]

"That's why I'm taking him to the highlands," Carlos said. "There's a place up there where he can train in the cold, with snow and ice. It's tough, but it'll make him stronger and sharper. It's the kind of experience that prepares him for anything."

I considered his words. "Okay," I said, nodding slowly. "I'll come along too. I'll talk to Blair and sort out my work so I can be there."
