The car ride waspletely silent as we drove into the Nightfall Pack''s territory. The streets were bustling with activity-members of the pack were celebrating. Their head Alpha had recently imed. victory, gaining control of two new packs.
It took several hours to finally reach the pack house. When the car pulled to a stop and I stepped out, my attention was immediately drawn to the handful of cars already parked in front of the building.
My children were in one of them.
Delta Derek exited one of the cars and hurried over to me as soon as he noticed my arrival.
"Alpha, I brought them here just as you instructed," he reported.
I turned my gaze toward the car, trying to catch a glimpse inside. "Where have they been all this time?"
1 questioned, my tone calm but firm. It was alreadyte at night, and I wanted answers.
"They were staying in one of yourpany''s apartments," Derek replied.
"Have they eaten anything?"
Derek shook his head gravely. "No, Alpha. I tried to get them to eat, but they refused. Both of them keep asking to go back to their mother."
Hearing that made my chest tighten with frustration. A shadow seemed to pass over my thoughts.
As I stood there processing Derek''s words, my officials began stepping out of their own vehicles. Finn approached me and took his ce at my side, awaiting instructions.
"Take them out of the car," I ordered, my voice sharp andmanding.
Theta Gideon immediately moved toward the backseat of the car. He opened the door carefully, his tone soft as he tried to coax the children.
"Come on, little ones. Your dad is here now. Let''s get out of the car."
"No, we won''t!"
Leo''s defiant voice rang out, loud and angry. I rolled my eyes in irritation. I should have known he would be stubborn.
I stepped forward, and Gideon wisely moved aside to give me space. I bent down to look into the car.
Luna was asleep, her small figure leaning against the seat. Leo sat beside her, his hand tightly clutching hers as if shielding her from the world.
I reached out to pick Luna up, but Leo''s hand shot out, grabbing my wrist firmly.
"Don''t touch her!" he growled, his young voice filled with determination.
I fixed him with a hard re. "She''s not like you," I said coldly. "You''re a disobedient child."
My eyes dropped to his hand, still gripping my wrist. My tone grew even icier as I continued, "If you ever
dare toy a hand on me again, I''ll make sure you learn a lesson you''ll never forget. You''ll understand exactly who your father is.''

Leo''s grip loosened instantly, and he let go.

I scooped Luna up in my arms, holding her close as I stepped away from the car. Then I turned back to Leo, my voice firm and unyielding.
"Get out of the car. Now."
There was no room for argument in my tone, and Leo knew it. He nced at Luna briefly before climbing out of the car, his movements reluctant.
Despite his defiance, I couldn''t help but notice how protective he was of his sister. It was a trait I admired, even if his behavior toward me left much to be desired.
As I carried Luna into the pack house, Leo following closely at my side, I was met with shocked expressions from my parents. The disbelief on their faces was unmistakable.
"Who are they?" my father asked, his voiceced with confusion.
My mother let out a sharp gasp when I replied bluntly, "They''re my children."
For a moment, neither of them spoke, their stunned silence filling the room.
When I exined everything-how their existence had been hidden from me, how their mother had kept them a secret-my mother''s expression quickly shifted to anger. She shook her head, her voice trembling with disbelief.
"I can''t believe it," she said finally. "She hid our grandchildren from us? How could she do something like that?"
Her outrage mirrored the storm brewing within me.
