I was taken aback by Cisco’s abrupt question. How could he say such a thing. They hardly knew
each other. “Cisco how could you suggest such a thing?” I scolded as I red at him.
“This man is just a stranger, we don’t take ride from strangers, I’ve always told you this”. I finished
“But mommy, I’ve seen you a lot always talking to Harper’s daddy. And even on my birthday, saw
you both going into your room together. So how can you say he’s a stranger when you are both
staying together in the same room?” He asked innocently.
My cheeks reddened instantly at the thought of Cisco seeing all my interactions with Kaiden. You
really couldn’t hide anything from kids.
I nced at Kaiden for help but he had a smirk on his face as he leaned on the car and he seemed
pleased with the whole. situation I had put myself in.
He raised his eyebrow in a look that said ‘you should have let hime with me earlier to avoid all
this embarrassment’.
I looked at Cisco who stared at me expectantly and I was speechless. I bit my lip as I thought of
what to say. Just then Kaiden interrupted my thoughts.
“Okay now kiddo, let’s not stress you mommy any further” he

said as looked at me with a smile. A**hole.
“Why don’t I take you to school and you can finish this conversation with your mommyter? You
are already runningte”.
Cisco nodded and Kaiden grabbed his hand as they began to walk to his car. Just then, Kaiden
looked back. “Youing?” He asked with a smirk as Cisco looked at me expectantly.
I wasn’t going to sit in Kaiden’s car and give him the pleasure that he had won this round. So I
turned away slightly and kept quiet:
Kaiden must have gotten the hidden meaning as he pressed no further and took Cisco in his car
and they drove off. I let out an exasperated sigh as I watched their car fade into the distance.
I walked to my car still in thought, Kaiden was obviously trying to force his way into our lives. He
was trying so hard to get Cisco to warm up to him which he didn’t need to because Cisco liked him
already.
That was already confirmed today with the question Cisco
asked. And no doubt Kaiden was going to use that as a leverage to get closer to us.
Which meant our secret was going to be exposed sooner orter. I couldn’t just sit down and watch
that happen.
Kaiden must have been surprised I didn’t object when he
hugged Cisco. He should know I didn’t do it for him but for my dear baby boy who deserved to at
least have a hug from his father.

I had seen how troubled Cisco had been regarding this whole daddy issue, I just wanted to give me
a chance to feel the love of a father.
The poor boy had been taunted by his friends in school about not having a father. My heart twisted
in pain and guilt at all he had been facing since we came back.
He had never been troubled by anything when we still in city, in fact the problem escted when
Kaiden came storming back into our lives. It was all his fault that Cisco had seen us together and
was beginning to have doubts.
He was going to ask me what connection I had with Kaiden and I prayed fervently for that day never
toe. Because if Cisco knew he had a father, he would know about the other secrets as well.
And he was so young, it was going to break him. He would hate Kaiden for not acknowledging me
as his mate. And he would hate me for rejecting the mate bond and hiding the fact that he had a
father. I was all so confused and scared. And I could only me it on Kaiden.
Ever since our argument at the party, I knew Kaiden would try every means possible to get into
Cisco’s good books. And he was seeding.
What even surprised me more was the fact that Kaiden healed me. I had clearly rejected the mate
bond. It wasn’t supposed to have any effect on me whatsoever.
Or was there still a tiny thread that joined I and Kaiden together?. Or was this just one of the Moon
goddess’s trick to get me back with Kaiden?

Or was this all part of Kaiden’s n because he had proved to me that he would go to any length to
take Cisco away from me.
He had held my hand so gently I almost thought it was genuine. I remembered how Gia purred in
satisfaction when he used his healing abilities to close the wound.
My heart fluttered a little but I waved it off. This was all part of Kaiden’s master n to get into my
head. I had rejected the mate bond and I nned to make it stay that way.
So whatever n he was cooking up in his head was never going to work on me. I didn’t know how
he was able to heal me, and if the mate bond wasn’t properly severed then it was going to pose a
problem for me. I thought.
Unable to understand anything, I shook my head to clear my thoughts and I went back to my car as
I tried to fix the problem.
After many attempts and a few kicks here and there, the car finally roared back to life and I couldn’t
suppress the squeal that escaped my mouth.
My mind wandered to how the car stopped working earlier, the probability that the universe and
moon goddess were all working together in Kaiden’s favour made me frown a little.
I checked the time. Kaiden must have dropped Cisco in school by now. I hated that he won this
round. But I was grateful we were able to get Cisco in school on time.
I got into my car and took a deep breath. Things weren’t working in my favour and I didn’t like it, but
I shook my head and decided to let the matter rest. I ignited the engine and drove off.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
