The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

Did she just call me her baby?

And what's that transparent liquid shimmering in her eyes? They can't be tears, right?

For all I know she's not happy to see me here.

Yesterday, when I hugged her, she went stiff in my arms and did not return the hug. She quickly changed the topic of discussion when I started mentioning our past. She acted so cold and aloof and it broke my heart. I was convinced that she was not happy to see me and she wanted nothing to do with me. What's with all the warm gestures and sweet words today?

Mother pulls me into a warm hug and I don't hold myself back from crying like a baby on her shoulders. She gently rubs her back, sobbing softly while I cry my life away.
