Chapter 76

Edward slammed his phone down, his face flushed with anger after Kathy abruptly hung up on him. The tension was palpable in the house. At the dining room table, Skye sat quietly, sipping her tea, ears pricked and listening intently to every word of Edward’s heated conversation.

Moments later, Skye’s fiancé walked into the room, a glass of liquor in hand, his presence adding another layer to the charged atmosphere. He barely had time to settle in before Skye’s mother also entered, her eyes scanning the faces at the table. Skye leaned back in her chair, feigning calmness while her mind raced with thoughts.

Trying to reach Kathy, Skye pulled out her cellphone and quickly typed a message, hoping to smooth things over. But her text didn’t go through. Frustrated, she tried another number, but again, the message wasn’t delivered. Each failed attempt stoked Skye’s anger, mirroring the unease Edward felt.

Skye’s mood soured—if she wasn’t happy, she was certain Kathy shouldn’t be either, and she silently vowed to make sure of that. The dining room remained tense, the silence heavy with unspoken words and unresolved emotions. Tea cooled in Skye’s cup as she stared at her phone, determination burning in her eyes.

Suddenly, Evelyn broke the silence, her voice cutting through the thick tension in the room. “Well, you won’t believe this, a little birdy told me that Kathy is pregnant and her belly was showing all over town,” she declared, her words hanging in the air as everyone turned to look at her. The revelation sent a ripple through the group, and Skye’s grip tightened around her teacup, shock and curiosity flickering across her face.

“How did she get pregnant before me?’

Skye’s mother leaned in with a conspiratorial tone, trying to reassure her daughter. “Honey, you have plenty of time to have a baby. Kathy just got pregnant by that rich guy, and once he found out, he probably thought she was after his money. I wouldn’t be surprised if he kicked her out and now she’s wandering around town, looking for a job or something,” she said with a dismissive wave. “Anyway, let’s go shopping.”

Skye forced a tight smile and nodded. “Yes, I need to go shopping for the wedding stuff,” she replied, trying to focus on the task at hand rather than the swirling drama. She set her phone aside, pushing away her frustration, and stood up, smoothing her dress as she prepared to leave the table.

As Skye stood, her fiancé Asher reached into his wallet and handed her a sleek, platinum card. “Take this,” he said with an easy smile, his tone confident. “Spend whatever you need—don’t worry about the cost. Money’s never a problem for me.” The gesture was casual but unmistakably generous, and Skye glanced at the card in her hand, momentarily forgetting her worries as she realized just how effortlessly Asher could provide.

Skye slipped the platinum card into her purse, grabbed her cellphone from the table, and followed her mother out the grand front door. The crisp evening air greeted them as they made their way to the mall, intent on finding the perfect outfit and gathering wedding supplies. While her mother chatted about dress styles and floral arrangements, Skye’s thoughts drifted to Kathy. Holding her phone tightly, a notion sparked—maybe she could use it to track her step-sister’s movements, just for a hint of what Kathy was up to.

But Skye hesitated. She didn’t know Kathy had already left the country for Canada, and deep down, she realized that poking into Kathy’s business was bound to uncover things she’d rather not face. Some mysteries, she decided, were best left alone, even if curiosity lingered just beneath the surface. With a sigh, she turned her focus back to wedding preparations, determined to make the day memorable and keep her mind off family drama—for now.

Kathy P.O.V

The table was set, everyone seated, and the hungry babies began to stir, so Kathy settled on the far side of the couch, offering privacy as she nursed the boys while Anthony bottle-fed Melody. Once Leon and Kai started to feed, Grace came to assist their mother, who then covered them with a blanket.

“What about Silverstone Pack someone has to run the pack because I know Leo is taking care of everything over here. They need alpha and luna to take over. I know this is going to be a long possible is that Miles and Sarah can be Alpha and Luna they have been living there for years. Plus, I know that Anthony will take over King Frances will stand down from the throne after Anthony came back into his life,” said Kathy.

The room fell silent, everyone processing Kathy’s words, fully aware that she couldn’t turn around to gauge their reactions, but Anthony, too, caught the subtle tension and chose to keep quiet, as if not wanting to point out if she’d said something wrong.

“Come, everyone—you know I can’t move since I’m feeding the twins,” Kathy called out, her voice gentle but firm as she cradled Leon and Kai. The others shifted closer, careful not to disturb the cozy scene, and Grace offered a reassuring smile, smoothing the blanket over the boys. The family gathered around, creating a circle of warmth and support, each person mindful of Kathy’s needs as she tended to her children.

“That is a great idea but it rare for Beta and a female beta to be Alpha and Luna again it’s up to Anthony and Kathy,” said Seth

“Listen,” Kathy said, her voice clear, “Anthony can help Miles get everything done.”

“Um…Kathy, we have a bit of an issue,”

Kathy asked, her voice tinged with confusion, "What's the reason for that?"

“Miles must attend Alpha camp for a minimum of a year,” Frances said firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"I couldn't go because I was blind, and then, there was my father, Samuel, forgive me for mentioning him."

“How about this? We head back to Silverstone Pack until Miles finishes camp. After that, we can move here to take over the throne and get married, which we've been putting off for a while,” said Kathy, her tone thoughtful yet hopeful. The suggestion lingered in the air, offering a sense of direction amid the uncertainty, and everyone seemed to quietly consider the possibility.

“You really want to get married to me,” said Anthony, his voice quiet but filled with genuine surprise.

Kathy looked up, her eyes soft. “Of course I do, Anthony. I want everyone to know how much you mean to me, and I want us to build our future together, side by side.”

Now that everyone has given their approval, Kathy is feeling hungry as she makes sure the babies are well fed. Her mother took the twin so she could fix her bra and shirt to make sure she is need leaking no milk, so Kathy took Leon and her mother Kai burp then take the babies into their room. Everyone leaves the office, heading toward the baby's room as they stop France opens the door, so the parents come goes inside first. It’s everything that parents would need. Then there was a double door that Vanessa open it lead into their bed so the twin room is connected if anything.

The crib is bigger enough that all three babies can sleep as Kathy lays Leon with the same goes with Kai and Melody but she starts to fuss so she gives her a rattle to keep her at peace while Kathy is away from the crib. Everything looks so nice and comfortable that Kathy just wants to get into bed and get some sleep but she is too hungry to lay down.

“Come on, everyone let the parents get some rest, we will see you two at dinner later,” said Vanessa

Once everyone left the room, Kathy went back into the baby room to see Melody playing with her rattle there is a little fridge that Kathy can put Melody bottle in there too then it’s time for Kathy to pump her milk too for the boys. Therefore, it would be better if Anthony could feed the babies so he doesn’t have to wake her up in the middle of the night.
