What is your name?” she asked.
Cayden… Cayden Chasia Carter,” He firmed.
Cayden, you have such a wonderful and powerful last name,” She
said. CC was filled with so much emotion today. I haven’t seen her like this in a long time.

Thank you, Ma’am,” he said.
Was that your mother you were calling back there?”
“No,” he answered, his eyes met mine for a second. I wanted to convey my feelings in any way to him – I really did. However, I was rendered speechless.

Cay,” A man called. Luis. There was worry in his voice, and he was
frantic.
Luis scooped up Cayden up and hugged him. Cayden relaxed and rested his head on Luis’ shoulder..
“Lara and I were playing on the carousel, and she fell. I – I heard the doctor say she broke her arm,” He was hiccupping his every word. It broke my heart to see him cry. He tried to hold himself all along but cried when Luis carried him. He trusted Luis to be vulnerable. Luis comforted him in the most gentle ways, so fatherly. I was covetous. I was never one to be envious. It was a new feeling for me.

“I
Lara will be alright, and we’ll go home and make loads of chocolate cookies,” Luis patted his back.
O- Okay,” he sniffed.
She’ll get a cast, and we’ll sign on it. How cool is that?” Luis tried to smile, all while glaring at us with his eyes. Cayden faced him.
Pretty cool,”
He put Cayden down and bowed most respectfully towards CC. Grandmother was confused as to what was going on but nodded in acknowledgment.

What are you all doing here?” Luis tone was indifferent, and it held
anger.

Who are you?” Melody asked.

Who are you?” Luis retorted irritably.
I’m a teacher. I was there when the accident happened,” she said.
And them?” he looked at us. My cousin was mute, and just then, Cayden started running down the hall. I felt her… her scent. Love was coming. Cayden discerned his mother. His inner lycan must be strong for a five-year-old. I swallowed when Love appeared, cradling Cayden in her arms. She stopped walking and observed us. Her eyes scrutinized me and then CC before going to the others. Her gaze fell on Luis,

“Oh sh it,” she murmured.

Tell The Truth?
Love.
I received a distressing phone call from my son while I was at work. I immediately called Luis, but he also received it and was on his way to the children’s clinic at the school. My heart was despairing as I left my office. I bumped into David, and he drove me here.
While he parked, I rushed inside, and my son jumped in my arms, crying and telling me incoherent sentences.
His sister was hurt and broke an arm, ” Don’t try baby, the doctors will help your sister, okay?”
He nodded against my nape. I went to the corridor when I saw him. Ellis was standing against the wall, looking disheveled. The matriarch of their family, Christina Carter, was there. Melody, Jace, Seumo, and Luis, who looked like he could commit murder were there.
Ellis’ eyes met me, and I mumbled, ‘ S hit,’
My heart was pounding in my chest, I looked at Luis for some contact, but he was too pis sed to do anything or come up with a proper plan.
Does Ellis know the truth? What were they doing here?
Hey, I’m sorry, parking took long,” I heard David say next to me but stopped, “Oh my f ucking sh it,”
Ellis’ eyes were ferocious, flashing dangerously as soon as he saw
David,

Can you please take him to the cafeteria for ice cream or
something?” I asked David. He frowned but didn’t argue as he carried my son. Cayden resisted from my arms.

“You’ll be back soon, sweetheart. Go have some icecream,”
Tcould hear the growls that were leaving Ellis’ chest. I inhaled when they left, and I approached the group. I needed to pay my respects to CC first. I smiled at her and kissed her cheek, even though I felt
coldness from her. She was mad at me.
“CC, how have you been?” I kept my voice leveled and plastered a smile on my lips.
“As well as one can be when one’s grandchildren are sn atched from them and raised by strange men,” she hissed. Yep, she was angry at me. I only smiled at her.
“I see you are well,” I said. She only rolled her eyes, and honestly, that stung. We were close before I left. Christina Carter even taught me how to cook. I will butter her up later, I faced Melody, and she smiled at me.

Love, I didn’t know you had kids. They are beautiful,” she said, genuinely happy to see me. Melody was always kind to me. I only smiled slightly, not confirming anything. I acknowledged the others with a nod and went to Luis.
