Episode: 13. I will Do The Same

Alpha Caleb.

What a blessed gift the moon goddess gave me, a bright child, a super hybrid. I was so foolish to reject it all.

I wish there were possibilities for me to fix my mistakes, but I think it's already too late. However, I must win her back into my life.

No matter how long it takes, I must take back my child and my soul mate.

"James! James!" Alpha Dan called me, but I was lost in thought, looking at my baby. After all, that was not my true name, which is why it couldn't easily get my attention.

"I'm talking to you, James!" Alpha Dan said, tapping me on my back. Then I realized myself.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I couldn't hear you," I said to Alpha Dan, who nodded in response.

"No problem about that, but I can see how relaxed the baby is within your arms, as if he has known you before. You are really good with children," Alpha Dan said, and I smiled at him.

But I believe he doesn't know that the baby and I have a bond, and that's why the baby is so relaxed in my arms, a bond between father and child.

"Okay, you stay here. I'll be right back," Alpha Dan said and left me alone in the hall. Immediately after he left, my beautiful Ava walked in.

I watched her silently as she approached me. I could already see that there was no space for anything but anger on her face. I messed up big time, and she has every reason to be upset with me. But if she can give me another chance, I will amend things.

"Ava"... I attempted to call her name, but she interrupted me.

"What have you come here to do? I know you came here for me, but how did you know that I was here?" she thundered, and I calmly approached her.

"Ava, I have been looking for you for the past six months," I explained, but she interrupted me again.

"Why have you been looking for me? To confirm that I am dead? Well, you can see that I am not dead. So what are you going to do to me?"

"What's your plan this time around? Kill me? Or probably hurt my baby?" Ava thundered as tears began to fall from my eyes.

Sometimes, I always think about the kind of spirit that moved me to the extent of trying to kill my own baby.

"Ava, Ariel was never who she claimed to be. She has doomed our pack. She made me look like I wasn't capable of being an Alpha anymore. We were attacked, she works for Alpha Dante.

Her mission was to make me vulnerable to him, and she succeeded. Dante has enslaved most of my people. I managed to escape," I explained with a frustrated look on my face.

"So why are you telling me all this now? How is that supposed to concern me? You said that I am a weakling, that I can't be your Luna," she responded, and I shook my head, tears streaming down my face.

"That was a very big mistake," I was still saying, but she interrupted.

"That was never a mistake because you did it with your clear eyes and your hatred for me. You never liked me for a minute, Caleb!"

"You poisoned me to die! You tried to kill my baby because you hate me!" Ava yelled at me, and I couldn't hold back my tears.

"Ava, I don't know what to say, but I deserve every name you call me. I am not even worthy to stand in front of you anymore, but I am just going to beg you."

"Please forgive all my foolish acts. I am sorry for the pain I have caused you. But I am here to amend things. I am here to make things right again. I am here to take you and our child home," I said, looking at Sam. But immediately after I made that statement, I could sense the anger emanating from her.

"How dare you call him our baby? No, he is not yours! You poisoned your baby! This is my child! I made him and gave birth to him. You have no right to call him your baby!" she yelled at me and angrily took the baby from me.

I took a deep breath as tears continues to flow from my eyes, then I used my right hand to wipe them away.

"I don't care about your crocodile tears! I don't feel anything for you anymore, Caleb! You are nothing but a beast! If you truly came here for me as you have said, then you better go back because I am not going with you."

"I don't know you anymore, so you have to leave me and my baby alone to have peace of mind, just like we have had since we departed from your presence," she said and swallowed her saliva.

"You can only stay if you have any other ulterior motive, but believe me, if you sleep over tonight, you will definitely not wake up! That's not a threat, Caleb!" she thundered and left my presence with her baby.

Then I stood there, looking at her, she just threatened me? For her to make such statements, it simply means that she has fully regained her power.

Could you see how stupid I was? If only I had allowed her to become my Luna, she could have helped defend the pack. But look how foolish I was.

I am still wondering if I am in my right senses when I tried to poison and terminate my own baby. That's just so terrible of me.

Well, Ava can go ahead and threaten me all she wants, but I am not going anywhere without my baby and her.

So, after collecting my baby, I headed straight to the kitchen where I had sent Gwen to prepare some food.

"Oh, you're back? Have you confronted him?" Gwen asked as soon as I entered the kitchen.

"Oh yeah, I have. Please wash your hands and take my baby. I want to take over the kitchen," I requested, and Gwen did as I said.

She washed her hands and took Sam from me, playing with him.

"Caleb is here to take my baby away from me. I can sense it in every statement he made," I said to Gwen.

"Have you told him to leave the pack the same way he came in?" Gwen asked, standing beside me.

"Can you believe Caleb was shedding tears in my presence, telling me that he is sorry for all he did and saying all sorts of rubbish words?" I said to Gwen as I began to slice the vegetables.

"You mean he was begging?" Gwen asked.

"Exactly. He looks frustrated, and according to him, his pack has been doomed, which is why he is here looking for me," I responded, and Gwen nodded her head.

"That could possibly be a trick to get you back," Gwen responded.

"Yeah, I know, but I have already given him a serious warning. He should never sleep under this roof until daybreak if he truly wants to live," I responded to Gwen, who remained silent for a few seconds, looking at me.

I paused what I was doing and looked at her. "What?" I asked.

"I was just thinking, what if he does sleep under this roof? What happens then?" Gwen asked. I took a deep breath and took a slice of cucumber into my mouth, chewing it.

"Gwen, Caleb wanted me dead. He wanted to kill my baby. I will do the same, but in a quicker way," I responded.
