You mean he told you all that?" Bethel asked.

"Yes, for a while I was speechless, though I didn't let it show."

"From what I've noticed, he doesn't look that wicked. I guess it's truly situations and all that that turned him into what he is. And about Sandra lady, have you chosen a day for us to go visit her? Don't worry, I won't lay a hand on her; I only want to discuss a few things. We can also tag your mom and Daniel; it will make them feel better. At least they will tell her their minds, and it will help them."

"So you suggest we go see her at the castle? What if Darien doesn't allow us? Remember, we've never been there before."

"He's already in a tight spot; he dared not tell us no. Remember, he's doing everything possible to prove he has no hand in what happened, and also, he needs to do this to prove to Daniel that whatever happened wasn't his fault. Turning us down is just like proving the rumors to be true. Don't worry; talk to them anytime they are ready, and we'll go together. Also, you can call Sonia; she will also want to see the lady who dared to do this," Michael signed. The plan seems suspicious; her bringing this plan is to go there and finish Sandra.

"If you say so, then I will ask them and get back to you."

"I was wondering, do you think your mom will ever let the alpha have his son when the time comes, or rather, will the boy ever agree to follow his dad since his mom is no more?"

"You see, particularly we don't have a say in this; Mom doesn't want trouble, so she won't hesitate. To her, not letting him go is like giving out his birthright to someone else, so she won't stop him."

"And as for the boy?"

"He won't even see his dad again, so what makes you think he will agree? You know, to crown his heir, there must be a Luna, so this means the alpha will have to get a second chance mate. Do you think he will ever allow another woman to sit in place of his mom? He already hates his dad so much, so I don't think he will ever agree to go with him. If I were in his place, I would never go with him."

"I was thinking of talking to him."

"There's no need for that; there's no need to advise or discourage him. It's his choice to choose whether he will be the alpha or not. It's not our position to discourage him. Remember, if you talk him into doing something he might regret later, he will never forgive you."

"Well, if you say so, let's just continue helping him cope. I know it's not easy for the young boy; this is the first time he will be away from his mom. I feel his pain."

Unknown to them, Daniel was standing at the door, listening to everything they were saying. His grandma asked him to come call them, only for him to get here and find them calling his name, so he had to wait.

He slowly knocked on the door.

"Who's there? Come in!" Bethel quickly replied.

He opened the door and walked in, looking as innocent as ever. His mother's death affected him.

"Dear, how are you feeling now? Is your head still banging? Have you eaten the food I dropped for you on the dining table?" Bethel bombarded him with questions.

"I feel better now; my head is no longer hurting, and I have eaten the food. Thank you so much; you made it exactly how my mom used to make it. I know it took you a lot of effort to make it turn out that way," he thanked Bethel, smiling. His words were genuine, but his smile was fake, and they understood him just fine. Recently, he hadn't been smiling; doing it today was just to show appreciation, and they liked him for it.

"It's okay, dear. I'm happy you liked it. I thought you wouldn't like it, but hearing you say these things makes me happy. Now that I've seen that you like it, I will be preparing it for you. Just tell me anytime that you want to eat it, and I will gladly prepare it for you."

"Really? Thank you so much, Aunty! You made my day!"

"You are welcome. Tell me, what brought you here? Did grandma send it to us?"

"Yes, she asked me to come call you both; I almost forgot about it."

"It's okay, let's go see her then," Michael said, standing up.

"Please, uncle, can I ask you for a favor? Please, don't tell me no, please."

"What is it, dear? Come on, say it. So long as it's not something I can't do, I will help you with it."

"Yes, dear, tell us what you want."

"I heard you both discussing Sandra. I don't know what you want to do, but can you please take me to see her? I promise I won't cause trouble; I just want to ask her some questions. I need to ask her if she did everything on her own or if she did it with my mom. Please, you don't have to worry about how to deal with her; just take me to the castle, and I will tackle the rest."

"That's it? It seems you've been reading my mind. That was exactly what I was telling him before you came. If that's what you want, then it's settled."

"Really? Will you take me there? I will also get my remaining clothes and toys, then I will also use the opportunity to tell my dad that I'm never coming back to him."

"What? Are you telling him that?"

"Yes, I don't want to be his son anymore!
