Chapter 92
As the other Alpha’s left Tony office and heading back to their home, Anthony and Frances still down in the seat looking at Troy, who went over to his mini bar to drink himself a heavy drink. Anthony and France look at each other, trying to think of what Kathy really said to him.
“Alpha Troy, we really want to know what Kathy said to you?”
Alpha Troy didn’t say nothing until he turns around with a glass in hand, sigh to himself and look at his beta who was lending it on the desk.
“Before I ever met my mate, I had a child with a human," she revealed quietly. Kathy was employed by The City Night Club then. I was surprised that she knew about the supernatural, after I told her. She facilitates my communication with the woman I was involved with. We both agree that we would never talk about it also I didn’t know she was to marry either and couldn’t keep the child so Kathy was nice to take the woman to the clinic. However, Kathy took care of her until she was fully recovered, and I never saw that woman again. Kathy did check on the woman, and it turned out she had moved out of the state with her husband and gave birth to a baby girl. I don’t know what Kathy did, somehow she got DNA from the baby and mine. I wasn’t the father of the baby. She made me tell my mate, which I was scared to tell her when I did. Yes, my mate was angry with me until the point we didn’t sleep in the same bedroom for a year because she felt that I betrayed her and didn’t wait for her. It took a long time to regain her trust, and during that period, our relationship was strained and distant, with barely any communication between us. Eventually, with patience and honesty, we started to rebuild what we had lost. Kathy always looked out for me, even when things were complicated. Where my mate and I finally mated and now we are having our first baby boy. The past may have had its secrets, but it's the future we're building together that matters most. She wants me to keep quiet, not to blackmail me. If the elders knew, my title would be forfeit. Samuel must find out about it if he needs my help from other alphas too, because secrets like these can undermine trust and jeopardize alliances. I just hope that when the time comes, Samuel will understand the gravity of the situation and act with discretion.”
Anthony and Frances start to think that Kathy must know so much but she meets them. Why didn’t she say something like she knew about the supernatural?
Meanwhile, Max lay quietly in Anthony mind, absorbing every word of Alpha Troy’s confession as the room grew heavier with emotion. The tension lingered, but Max’s presence was a silent comfort, grounding the group as the evening wore on. Anthony glanced at his watch and realized it was getting late, signaling to Frances that they should prepare to leave. As Troy finished his drink, the atmosphere eased slightly, his nerves finally settling after sharing his secret.
“Alpha Troy thank you for telling us. I will make sure that Samuel cuts all contact from you,” said Frances.
“Thank you for having this meeting,”
After a handshake, Troy beta shows everyone out of the office and toward the front door, Anthony really going to talk to Kathy. The outside the rain has completely stopped, as the servant opens the door Anthony and Frances walk outside the rain smell like cut grass like someone was cutting their grass. As the men went to their cars Anthony and Frances, and Miles and Robert got inside their car as the driver taking them back home.
As they settled into the car, Frances turned to Anthony, her voice soft but curious. “What else did Kathy know before you two meet?” he asked, his eyes searching his face for honesty.
Anthony paused, reflecting on the past. “Honestly, Kathy always seemed to know more than she ever let on. She was aware of the pack’s history and had insights into the supernatural world that most outsiders wouldn’t. I think she kept those secrets to protect us, and maybe to protect herself too.”
Anthony managed a small smile, grateful for the comfort of familiarity after such a heavy conversation. “Well, let’s get home. Kathy did say she left us some dinner,” he murmured, hoping a warm meal would help soothe their thoughts.
Frances nodded, the prospect of Kathy’s cooking adding a touch of normalcy to the evening. As the car pulled away from the curb, they both looked forward to the simple comfort of home and the quiet understanding they shared.
In the back of Anthony mind Max laying down and thinking about their mate because he really want his chance to spend some time with her instead of his human side, he can’t until he rub his hand over her body. Anthony felt that too.
In the quiet of his thoughts, Anthony made a silent bargain with Max. "I'll make you a deal," he whispered internally, "while I'm resting, you can have your time with her. But remember, be gentle—she's precious to both of us, and we need her strong enough to care for our future together." The understanding brought a sense of peace between his two halves, both eager yet protective of the woman they cherished.
Max knows that, he want to get himself to shift and he hopes that Kathy is not sleep by the time their get there.
Kathy P.O.V
Kathy stood in the center of the dimly lit room, uncertain yet determined. She closed her eyes for a moment, feeling the energy pulse beneath her skin, and let her instincts guide her. As her eyes flickered to a brilliant violet, her hands began to shimmer with a soft, radiant light. Drawing on every bit of courage and intuition she possessed, Kathy spoke the words that came to her heart, hoping her improvised spell would be enough.
The surrounding air seemed to hum and vibrate as she channeled her power, trusting that this new magic—born of necessity and hope—would bind what needed to be bound and heal what needed to be healed. She had no formal incantation, only her faith and the raw connection to the forces she felt swirling within. With each glowing pulse from her hands, Kathy believed more deeply that she was doing something extraordinary, even if she could not fully understand it yet.
"Perpetuae Aetheris Vincta, Duo Corpora, Unum Anima. Muri Cadant, Spatia Fluant, Ex Duobus, Unum Fiat. Concordia Cubiculorum, Nunc Aeterna Esto!" ("Bound by Eternal Aether, Two Bodies, One Soul. Walls Fall, Spaces Flow, From Two, Let One Be Made. Harmony of Chambers, Now Be Eternal!")
Feeling dizzy, she left the room to see if it worked, ending up in the living room and kitchen her mother had shown her. She did a great job checking on her babies in the cribs.
