    Chapter 76


    His brows scrunched in confusion. “What do you mean? I have my men on her at all time and she’s


    on the other side of the country”


    “I know what I saw. She had a mask on but I swear it was her. I know you may not believe me but I


    can swear that she was the one. She was watching us.”


    “Galm down, Freya,” he wrapped his arms around my shoulders and guided me into taking deep


    breaths. “I’ll send people to check it out and if she is the one then she will be found and brought. Is


    that okay?” I nodded. “Good, because we don’t need you getting worked up over this, alright?”


    “I just want a few seconds of peace. This is too much.”


    this is over, it will be like a fever dream. If “I know, baby,” he pressed his lips to my forehead in a soft


    kiss, “By the time all she is here, she can’t stay hidden for too long. I will make sure she is found.


    Until then, I have something else for you.


    I perked up at that. “What is it? Is it a gift?”


    “Close,” he teased. “You’ll see it tomorrow.”


    My mouth fell open in indignation. “Then why did you tell me today!”


    “So you can have something to look forward to.”


    I reached forward to punch his arm and heughed. I loved how Jaxon always managed to turn my


    frustration into. something fun. I reached up on my toes and kissed him. He wasted no time in


    kissing me back. When we pulled back, he was sporting a small smile.


    “I love you,” he whispered against my lips and just as I was about


    to say it back, someone cleared their throat behind me.


    I turned and saw Aiden standing there with a sheepish expression on his face. “Sorry to bother you


    but Jaxon, we need your help


    Jaxon pressed a soft kiss to my head and walked out of the room I ran my hands through my hair in


    frustration. I know it was Violet I saw out there but was I really sure? She did have a mask on so I


    may have been seeing things but her eyes- 1 could never forget those eyes. She looked at me with


    so much hatred and anger, I knew it was her. I was sure


    of it.


    I managed to drag myself out of the office. I needed to rx. There was so much on my mind all the


    time. I got to the do of Kiara’s room and I saw Nadia speaking animatedly to the two children who


    were snacking on Pringles. When she sa she smiled and she stood to her feet. I thought she would


    do her usual greeting and leave but instead, she crossed the of the room and made her way over to


    me.


    Thank you for taking him in,” she whispered and my brows rose. “When my brother was in public


    school, he knew Kieran He was always a quiet boy, very reserved. He hadn’t seen him since the


    king moved him to a private school but Kieran is a good kid, thank you.”


    I nodded because I didn’t know what else to do. She seemed to realize I wouldn’t be saying


    anything because she bowed curtly and walked out of the room. I watched her leave and turned to


    the kids. Kiara wasted no time in throwing herself into my arms but Kieran held back. He stared at


    both of us with what I could only describe as longing.


    I stayed with them for a while trying to keep my attention equal between both of them but Kieran


    seemed content sitting to the side. He stared at me every few seconds like he had something he


    wanted to say to me. Kiara was showing me her new dolls and I was so focused on her that I didn’t


    even realize that Kieran had made his way over to me. His eyes were on the floor and he was


    fiddling with his hands.


    “Can I talk to you?” he asked and I nodded.


    O

    Chapter 76


    I turned to Kiara. “I’ll be right back, okay?” she practically waved me off and I stood to my feet and


    took Kieran to the far side of the room where Kiara wouldn’t be able to listen.


    His eyes were downcast as if he was unsure of whether he should be speaking. Every single time


    he hesitated around me made my heart clench. I had no idea what the boy was going through, I


    only hoped that he would open up to me as time


    went on.


    “Thank you for the candy,” he mumbled softly. “You didn’t have to get it for me”


    “You don’t ever have to thank me for that. I wanted to get it for you and I’m sure Jaxon doesn’t mind


    either,” I reached out to stroke his hair and I was shocked when he allowed me.


    His eyes widened when I mentioned Jaxon “Really?” he asked and I nodded. “My dad neger gets


    me candy. He gets for his son but not me.”.


    “Your dad is alive?” I asked and his eyes widened as he realized what he had said. “You don’t have


    to worry, if you don’t want. to go to him then I’ll make sure you never do. Just tell me about your


    dad.”


    “He has another son and a wife. They live in the next pack. I dont like to see him but mum says I


    have to sometimes. He’s really mean and sometimes he uses his belt but only on me, his voice


    wobbled on thest part and my heart broke..


    I wanted nothing more than to find man and make sure he paid for what he did to Kieran. How could


    anyone be so cruel as to hit a child? I asked if he could show me where and he lifted the hem of his


    shirt slowly to reveal the line of scars littered across his back. I had to mp down on the rage


    coming from my wolf because she was ready to flip out and hunt the man.


    “You don’t have to worry about him or anyone ever again,” I kept my voice as soft as possible so as


    not to scare him. “You’re ours now and no one will ever hurt you again. Do you understand?”


    He nodded. “I can stay here? You won’t send me away again?”


    “Never.”


    I knew it was wrong to make that sort of deration without talking to Jaxon first but I couldn’t help


    it. My wolf and I had imed Kieran as ours and I knew that Jaxon wouldn’t mind, I would not live


    with myself if I allowed the boy go out into the world again with the possibility of him being hurt.


    Kieran hesitated for a split second then he threw his arms around my neck. I was shocked that he


    would show so much emotion but I didn’t question it. I wrapped my arms around him and allowed


    myself to hold him. He was so young and yet he had suffered so much. No one should have to go


    through what he did especially not at the age that he did.


    When he pulled back, I smoothed his hair down and kissed his forehead softly. “You’re safe now.”


    A knock on the door had me pulling away from Kieran. When I opened it, I was shocked to see


    Jaxon standing looked behind me at the children and I knew that whatever he wanted to say- he


    didn’t want to say in front of th stepped out.


    “What’s wrong?” I asked.


    “I didn’t find Violet. We checked the entire store. It may have been her you saw but if it was then she


    is long gone by now.”


    I muttered a small curse and ran my hands through my hair. It didn’t matter, I knew she would show


    up again and when she did, I would be ready. In the meantime, I had something more important to


    talk to Jaxon about.


    “I found out about Kieran’s father/”


    “I did too, Aiden just gave me everything he found out. He lives one pack over and we have an


    alliance with them. I could ask for him, I could kill him- I thought about it on my way here, he paused


    and I knew there was a “buting, “but he has a son and his wife is expecting another child.


    However if that is what you want then I can make it happen.”


    Chapter 76


    “No, it isn’t,” I sighed deeply, “I want us to keep him. I don’t want to send him to another home.”


    The corner of Jaxon’s lips quirked up. “I already knew you would. I told Aiden to cancel the search


    for a family a while ago.” My eyes widened with his admission. “Come on, Freya, you have an


    attachment to that boy and I knew that you would never let him go.”


    “Do you mind?”


    He shook his head. “It will take me some time to love him like I go you and Kiara but I promise that I


    will never treat him any differently or make him feel unwanted”


    I did not realize how perfect my mate was until that moment. I grew my arms around him and kissed


    him. He wasted no time in deepening the kiss and if not for the constant voice in my head reminding


    me that we were in the hallway, it would have gone a lot further than that.


    When he pulled away, our lips were swollen and his eyes were lust lidded. He took a step back


    presumably to gather his wits before he spoke. “Can you get them both ready? I want to take you all


    somewhere?”


    “Do I get a hint as to where we are going?” I asked but he shook his head. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    My eagerness drove me into doing what he asked. It took me five minutes to get everyone into their


    shoes and another ten to get them into the car. Jaxon was the one driving but there were two other


    cars that I knew carried guards following behind us. Kiara and I tried countless times to get him to


    tell us where we were going but he never did.


    After a few minutes of driving, he pulled up in front of the most beautiful house I had ever seen.


    Before I could ask any questions, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of keys then


    ced them in my palms.


    “Wee home,” he said with a soft smile.
