Chapter 24

“Mother I know you think I’m being cruel but this is the-”

“If you think I, as your mother will buy into that you’re an imbecile,” I shut him down.

“Mama, I have to protect our people,”

“You are protecting yourself, don’t lie,” I crossed my arms. “I know what drives you, the fear that has crawled up into your lungs,”

“Annette is going to be my Luna I-”

I held up my hand. “Annette is going to be your wife, you are destroying her,” I walked up to him and tilted his face to mine. “Your father cut you off, he walked away. Annette has seen the ugliest side of you, the side I thought you were better than and she’s stayed,” I nodded to him.

“But if you continue this I will send her to Georgia myself and I will sit beside her at her binding to a good man,” I knew that he would not like this but he needed to see.

He stood up pushing over his and growled “you will not take her away!”

“Ohhh!” I laughed. “Look at that you care!”

“Mom I am trying,” He slumped his shoulders.

“You are guarding yourself! I did not raise a coward!” I walk towards him. “Make the effort for her and you might be surprised by the acceptance you get in return,”

“She is not something I understand how to approach,” he confessed.

“So instead you neglect her the way you were?” I close my eyes. “Try Grayson and she will show you how,”

I left my son to ponder the challenge I gave him, he was no coward with his life but his heart, he couldn’t let a single soul inside.

“I cannot believe he was jealous of Matt!” Charlotte squealed at me.

“If Matt had a partner of his own I’m sure Grayson would not worry,” I rolled my eyes and continued twisting the barbed wire for the fence.

“Many women would kill for Matt how Grayson would think that you his soulmate would be one of them is clinically insane,” She huffed and nailed the wire to the fence in one big swing.

“Are you one of those women?” I teased her elbowing her side.

“Never!” she snorted.

“What you don’t want to be Mrs. O’Connell?” I kept poking.

“No, no I don’t think I could be with a wolf from our pack. I know them all too well I want someone who I would have to learn,” She told me blushing a little.

“Well I don’t know if you know but a bunch of single men tried to marry me so I know a couple of guys,” I winked.

“No thank you!” she shook her head many times.

“Well, whoever you end up with will be the luckiest,” I smiled at her.

“Anna? Do you think you’ll stay here?” Charlotte suddenly turned serious.

I stopped.

Should I? He’s given me no reason to trust he’ll change. I have always wanted a romance, and he is so distrusting.

“I don’t know…”
