Prev Chapter Next Chapter

We went back to the hidden world and Lexus parted ways with us. I went to the pack house and met

Sadia in her room. “So, what’s the emergency.”

Sadia looked nervous. “Ugh this is so weird, Tam offered to be here when I told you but that might have

been weirder.” She took a deep breath. “I’m pregnant, I just found out a few days ago that I’m pregnant.

I made an appointment with the packs doctor and I’ll find out how far along I am soon.”

“You’re pregnant..?” I wasn’t sure how to react. “You’re pregnant and it’s mine or it’s not mine?” My

heart was pounding.

Sadia shrugged. “I don’t know, I don’t know it could be yours, but it could be you know who.” Lexus’.

“We had sex two weeks before I had sex with you so if I’m around three weeks it’s yours but if I’m more

than four it’s his” She covered her hands with her face. “I don’t know what to do.”

I’m not sure what she expected from me. “I’ll be here no matter who’s it is or what you want to do with it

Sadia.”

She moved her hands and looked at me. “You’re serious? You don’t have to do that Cade. I know it’s a

lot especially if it’s not yours.”

I sat next to her on her bed and hugged her. “I want to be with you Sadia. I thought you liked how slow

we were going but if you want to be with me then that’s what I’ve wanted this whole time.”

The next day we got called into the king and queen's office and my father explained to them her last

known whereabouts. “I don’t think we should be looking for her anymore, it’s clear she doesn’t want to

willingly be Hannah’s adviser. We can’t force her to work here, she was suffering.” Dad was doing the

right thing.

The King nodded. “We agree but we still need her to be found. We met with the pack alpha yesterday

and the sixth stone exists.” I heard very little about the mythical sixth stone. He looked at me. “How

would you like to be adviser to Hannah as Queen and the new holder?”

“How would that be possible?”

“With the sixth stone.” Father said. “It’s a transfer stone. It’s said to be able to transfer any abilities from

one person to another. Even holder abilities… we can’t take Aqua’s powers from her.”

“Maybe she doesn’t want them. If she volunteers will you accept our offer Cade?” The Queen asked.

“I think so… I need more time to think about it,” I said.

“Okay one last thing, one of the guards spotted you with Lexus, now what’s that about?” The King

asked.

That night I slept in Grays room with him. He had an extra bed in his room. “Hey.” Gray whispered. “Are

you awake?”

“Hey.” I whispered.

“I miss Aqua…”

“Me too Gray.”

“I want her to come back now.”

“Me too Gray.”

“She said we’d finish the movie… how are we going to do that now? She promised.” He sounded like

he was going to cry.

When Gray went to sleep I turned the tv off and everything was so quiet that I could hear my parents.

“Lynn I don’t want to fight with you about this anymore, it’s been more than two months since you found

out about my affair.”

“I know but it still bothers me. Just answer a few questions and we’ll be down with it.” Mom said.

“I don’t know if that’s a good idea.” Dad was against it.

“Do you love me?” That was her first question.

“Yes.”

“Okay… Do you love Mae?” That was her second question. “I’ll know if you lie because of our marks.”

“What’s the point of any of this Lynn? I love you, you’re my wife and we have a family.”

“Do you…?” She sniffled. “Do you love her more than you love me?” That was her third and last

question. I heard nothing but silence. “Answer the fucking question Konn!”

I was afraid my mother’s yelling would wake up Gray, but he was a deep sleeper. “Let’s go to sleep.”

Dad said instead.

“Answer it… answer it…” I heard her heavy breathing. “Answer it or I’m leaving.”

“No.” Dad said. “I love you more Lynn.”

I could only hear my mother sobbing. There was silence for a while, and I was relived. I was afraid this

was it, but the questions stopped. I thought everything was going to be okay until my mother

whispered, “You’re lying…”

“Lynn, I chose you over her.” Dad said in defense. “Nothing else has to matter.”

“That’s not enough for me. I Lynn Andrews reject you, Konain Andrews.”

It was hard for me to accept what I heard. For the twenty years I’ve been alive my parents always had

a loving relationship. Now they weren’t in one at all.

I heard a door slam then I opened the door and walked in. I saw my father on his knees holding his

shoulder that was now blank where his mark used to be. I could tell it was painful. “I’m sorry Cade.” He

slowly stood up.

“You don’t have to apologize to me.”

Dad shook his head. “I do. I was still seeing Mae up until she ended things a few weeks ago. I didn’t

see her often, but I saw her a few times a year. I know it was horrible of me, but I loved her.”

Now he was getting what he deserved. “You didn’t have to tell me that. You only have to worry about

Gray. I think I understand now.” I might be a father myself soon, so it was easier to understand. My

father wasn't knowingly risking his family. He was trying to satisfy his own needs and ours. He wasn’t

going to let Gray be taken from him. He really was only risking his relationship with our mother and why

would that matter if he really loved Mae more? I don’t know if I would be able to stay away from Sadia if

I already had a family. Love makes you do terrible things. What Lexus did to me wasn’t for love but

what Aqua did to Sadia was.
