#Chapter 198: Hideaway

Moana was right about the fact that I needed to tell Ella the truth about her mother. It was time that Ella knew what her mother was really like, especially after that whole ordeal. But at that moment, although I promised Moana that I would tell Ella about Olivia soon, I had more pressing matters to deal with.

First thing in the morning, I took Moana to the doctor’s office for a full checkup to make sure that both she and the baby were healthy. Thankfully, they were. The baby was as healthy as an ox; in fact, when Moana was being strangled by Ethan, I remembered seeing her suddenly overcome with a burst of light that launched Ethan backwards. I didn’t know if it was the baby or Moana’s own abilities that protected her at that moment, but it didn’t matter. All I knew was that that burst of light saved Moana from being strangled to death by Ethan when I was still too weak to move.

However, as the day went on, it quickly came to my attention that the whole ordeal had already made its way to the news. Somehow, those damn paparazzi got footage of Ethan being escorted into the cop car and Moana’s terrified face. Those clips were already circulating various news outlets with all sorts of speculations on what happened. I didn’t know if I would bother having a press conference about it, though. At that moment, I just wanted to get Moana and Ella away from the city.

The last time we had gone to the mountain estate, it had gone poorly. My father had sent a hired rogue to intimidate us and we had left abruptly as we no longer felt safe there. And I supposed that we could easily run into trouble again if we went back, but the city was just too dangerous right now. There was a good chance that Moana could shift at any moment now that her wolf had emerged, and I wanted her to be out of the city for two reasons: for starters, a wolf shifting for the first time would be dangerous in an enclosed space like the penthouse, especially since she didn’t know how to control it yet. And secondly, if Moana shifted her scent would permeate throughout the entire city, which would no doubt draw all sorts of sick people to us. If I wanted to keep her safe, I needed to get her somewhere where it would be unlikely for others to be close enough to pick up her scent.

comfortable bringing them back here. And besides, my father was still a threat. He would find out about Moana’s true nature eventually, and I wouldn’t have been surprised if he was the very first person to try to hunt her down.
