Cara's POV

+25 BONUS

I suddenly feel overwhelmingly tired of all the charades, of all the attempts to keep Ethan a secret from Alaric. I can keep this up no longer I can hide my child no longer.

If Alaric hadn't known for certain about my two children by now, after the science competition, then he surely would know about Ethan after this interaction.

There is no stopping it.

I won't tell him about the children's parentage, but I cannot deny their existence any longer. After all, here the boy is right in front of Alaric.

"Yes," I say simply and confidently. I grab my son's little hand and look Alaric squarely in the eyes. "This is 1 son, Mia's older brother. Is there a problem with that?"

When Alaric doesn't respond immediately, I tum on my heel, pulling Ethan with me.

I don't bother to look back at the man left standing in the hallway, at the Alpha King behind

1. me.

Behind me is only the past. Nothing more.

But I'm done with that now. I'm moving on.

I have moved on.

For myself and my children, I'm looking only towards the future.

And I see them there, just in front of me in the hospital lobby. My brothers Aidan and are there, waiting with my daughter Mia. They're all waiting for Ethan and me, and I realize how far I have come since I left Pack DarkWood. Ryan

I have a family now. I have a new life now. I have joy and warmth and contentment and happiness and all the good things that life has to offer.

I walk quickly towards my family, almost running to them. I'm moving towards my present, towards my future.

I don't look
