“What are you doing here?”
“Katherine, Thana told me you are here, and she told me that, you have two children…” my father stepped forward.
“What do you want from my kids?” I stepped back and kept our distance.
My alert action stopped him, he frowned for a moment and then said, "I hope you can go home and let me make it up to you. Your mother... I mean Ann, I will protect you from hurt by her."
His words surprised me a bit. As a powerful father in front of outsiders, my family has never been so important in his eyes. Growing up, Ann and Thana turned a blind eye to my bullying, so I thought it was because he loved this little girl so much. However, ever since Thana told me that she had been nearly executed by David Hunter's men, I wonder, as the Pack Gamma, didn't my father hear anything about Thana? However, it was Athan Buffay who finally saved Thana's life.
This just showed how selfish the man I've been calling my father is.
"No, my kids and I are fine," I said, and staring at him. "Please take care of your wife and don't let her do more wrong things."
I turned to leave, but he stopped me again.
"Wait, Katherine," my father walked up to me and said sincerely, "I heard from Thana that your son has showed the features of a werewolf. Let me take him home and I will train him to be my successor."
I couldn't help laughing out loud, he really came with a purpose.
"Your successor? This is the real purpose of your presence here today, right? From the past to now, all you ever cared is to have an heir, and that's why my mother married you and eventually died. Now you realized that neither Thana and I can satisfy you, so you're trying to take my son? Let me tell you, it's never going to be possible!"
Luther Green's face became more and more contorted, his face was flushed with anger, and my attitude obviously irritated him: "How dare you talk to your father like this?! You are putting your son in human society, but you can’t even protect him!"
"Sorry, you're the Gamma of the Bluemoon Pack, and I'm just an Omega who was expelled many years ago, how can I call you father?" I looked into his eyes: "I'm not who I was five years ago, I will kill anyone who tries to get close to my children!"
He obviously didn't expect me to threaten him like that, and he pointed his finger at my nose, shaking with anger. I looked at him without fear.
After a long time, he put down his hand as if he had flinched, and asked in a low voice, "Daughter, don't you want to go back to your family?"
I didn't stop and walked away, leaving his words behind, and I said lightly: "I'm not anyone's daughter, I'm just the mother of my children, and they are my family."
Luther’s deep voices came from behind me :“Watch out for yourself, you might not be strong enough to protect them yet… ”
His words startled me, but when I turned around, he was already gone.
What did he mean, why did he tell me to watch out?
I went home in confusion, not knowing that it was only a few days later that I understood what my father meant.
After a brief meeting with my father, he really never came to see me again. It's just that I always felt a little dull and had some bad premonitions. These days, Mona and I took turns sending Mike and Lily to kindergarten to keep them safe.
I was so disturbed by my father's warning before he left that I was with my children almost all the time, except during work hours.
However, even if I had been as careful as possible, some things could not be avoided.
Everything was fine that morning when I dropped off the kids at kindergarten, but just a few hours later, I got a phone call from their teacher.
During playtime after lunch, Lily asked her teacher to go to the bathroom with her. However, her teacher did not see her come out from the bathroom door, and ten minutes later, they found Lily under the stairs near the back door of the kindergarten. She fell down the stairs and passed out!
Someone must have pushed her off! This was my first thought!
I couldn’t think straight, I couldn’t breathe just imagining about the pain my lovely, lively daughter was going through right now. I even forgot to drive the car and ran all the way to the hospital. Some pedestrians on the road were shocked by my running speed, but I just hated myself for not being fast enough.
When I got to the hospital, Mike and the kindergarten teacher were standing anxiously outside the ward. Seeing me show up, Mike immediately jumped into my arms and cried.
"Mummy, it's all my fault, I didn't protect Lily!" I hugged my son tightly, my heart entangled.
"And me! I didn't protect Lily well!" A little boy stood next to him, crying even louder than Mike. I just found out that the kid turned out to be Lucifer, Finn Clint's son.
At this time, the door of the ward opened, and a nurse came out of the ward and said to the teacher: "The little girl is fine, she experienced a slight concussion, and it may take several hours to wake up. "
The kindergarten teacher hurriedly pointed at me and said to the doctor, "Thank you, this is her mother."
"Her mother?" The nurse looked at me and nodded, "Your husband has already gone to the toll office to pay, please don't worry too much."
Wait, my husband, is Jack here too? How would he know about Lily's injury?
