I stood frozen as Hilton’s gave snapped towards me and my son. My heart was beating wildly in my chest as his eyes roamed over me and LB. His eyes were murderous as he stared at LB and then to me. Wrapping my arms around LB I pulled him tightly to my chest, his face buried in the crook of my neck.
Hilton began marching towards us, his strides long. Even after all of these years is the most gorgeous man I have ever seen with messy brown bedroom hair, snapping dark eyes, and a masculine body. Everything about him made me crave him. The only thing that held me back was the pain he and my so called family had caused me, and my baby boy.
Bane and the guys were suddenly in front of me blocking Hilton’s view of me and my baby.
But that didn’t stop Hilton from fighting them trying to get closer to me. I curled my body around MY son hoping to protect him, from his enraged dad.
“Who. Is. The. Father!” Hilton growled punctuating each word with a curse. I could tell his wolf was surfacing by his voice, but since my back was facing him and a wall that my guys had created around me, I couldn’t tell if his eyes were flickering to black or not.
Simply ignoring him, I continued to gently rub LB’s backs soothingly, LB began to move around in my arms trying to get a look at Hilton, he has been so excited to his dad that he didn’t even notice the tension in the air.
“I asked WHO IS THE FATHER?!” Hilton growled out trying to push the guy’s protective wall away from me, causing me to whimper worried that he would hurt my son. “You’re mine and only mine”
“Don’t talk to her like that!” Bane growled back.
“It’s okay Bane” I said trying to calm them down. Even if I didn’t like Hilton or Moon Leaf pack it didn’t mean that I didn’t want to face the innocent one in the Moon Leaf pack, like the children “Let’s go somewhere more private to talk about this”
Minutes passed and I guess Hilton agreed because the guys hesitantly began to move away from me.
I turned to face Hilton who looked somewhat calmed down. I ran my fingers through LB’s soft golden hair and let him turn towards his dad.
LB had a wide glowing smile on his face as he stared up at Hilton. He stuck a hand out towards Hilton.
“Hi, Dad”. Hilton suddenly froze and his eyes snapped to mine his mouth gapping open.
Shifting from foot to foot I looked at Emalia for help, recognizing the look in my eye she started to lead LB away.
“Come on little man lets go see what Aiden and Amy are up to” she intervened.
“But I want to stay with Mom and Dad” He whined.
“Don’t whine little man it’s unattractive” Emalia scolded him “Now come on you Mom and Dad have something’s they want to talk about”
When they disappeared into the cars I turned towards Hilton. My fingers twisting and tangling with each other. “Umm, can we talk about this in your office?” I asked quietly noticing how the Moon Leaf pack was looking at us like we were the newest thing on TV.
“Sure” Hilton answered still staring at me like he was scared I would just disappear.
Moving towards their pack house suddenly three bodies were engulfing me tightly. Encasing me in their warmth, though there was nothing warm about the people who were gripping me so tightly. They were abruptly pulled away from me by Joseder, Bane, and Joseph who were once again standing front of me while they were thrown onto the ground away from me.
Even though Hilton’s rejection hurt, and even though it hurt when Hilton wasn’t there for my son. The worst pain was my brothers rejecting me, their own flesh and blood.
“Amelia” Aaron whispered reverently as tears slipped down his cheeks. Axle and Adam stared at me with awe in their eyes. They made a move to get up but the guys pushed them back down again.
“What do you think you’re doing you son of a bitch” Bane cursed at Aaron.
“We want to talk to our sister” Adam snarled at Bane stressing his words, trying to make it clear that I am their sister not Bane and the guys. That made me scowl, happy that LB wasn’t here to witness his uncle’s stupidity.
“I stopped being you sister the day you first raised you hand against me your own sister! What did I ever do to deserve the treatment I got? Nothing! You beat me down, destroyed my self-esteem all for something I had no control over!” I told them in a controlled dangerous voice, disgust lacing my words “You are no brothers of mine”
They laid on the floor speechless when Aaron spoke “We never stopped being you brothers” he whispered. Anger rose in me like a burning fire, who the hell are they shitting?! They lost the right to be my brothers a long time ago.
Axle just sat there staring at me a sad but accepting look in his eyes. Even everything he put me through Axle still knew better than anyone else.
“I understand that you’ve moved on” He whispered “You deserve brothers like those six, I just wish we treated you like that, and deserve to be called your brothers”
I nodded my head Axle got up quietly then made his way back into his pack house. Adam pissed off ran into the forest and Aaron got up and stood next to Hilton head bowed.
“Now that you idiots are done making fools of your selves, Alpha Carter” Bane nodded his head towards him, Hilton’s eyes never strayed from my face. “Amelia will like to talk to you in private” Hilton nodded his head slowly and began to make his way towards his pack house, leading me towards his office. The guys and I (Meaning Me) decided it would be better for me to this by myself.
Reaching Hilton’s office Aaron turned to look at me again and so did Hilton. “I regret every minute of what I did to you Amelia” Aaron whispered eyes burning a hole in the dark oak floors.
“So do I” Hilton said. His voice made me freeze, Hilton’s voice was like melted dark chocolate all deep and husky. It made shivers run up and down my back.
“Where’s your mate” I sneered harshly at him.
Hilton’s eyes flashed black again his fist slamming down on his desk “She is not my mate you are and only you are my mate” Hilton possessively told me making his way closer to me, but my stepping back had stopped him.
“I am not your mate any more” I calmly told him “I stopped being your mate when you had sex with that no good whore and marked her. I am nothing to you. Do you hear me” Hilton just gritted his teeth angrily.
“Whether you like or not I am your mate and will forever you mate. And you are mine as much as I am yours” He professed.
I stared at him then started to laugh “you call being mine sleeping with other women?” Hilton looked shocked “Please I can smell Shelly’s cheap perfume on you” Hilton at least had the decency to look ashamed.
“I didn’t know you had a son” Aaron interjected changing the subject. I heard a small growl, most likely from Hilton.
“Who’s there father?” Hilton repeated his question from before. Guess he didn’t any smarter then I last saw him since LB’s words had no effect on him.
I looked him straight in the “You.”
“What” he asked in disbelief.
Nodding my head I answered his unasked question “I named him after you. Hilton Bane Romano. Even though I hate you your still apart of LB’s life” Hilton’s and Aaron’s faces were full of shock.
“I have a son” Hilton whispered in shock and excitement, then anger “Why didn’t you tell me” he demanded.
“Because I didn’t want him to be treated the way I was” I simply answered him.
Hilton looked shocked “You’re my mate and he’s my mate. I would never treat my son like that, and if you had told me you were pregnant with our son I would have treated you like a queen” He angrily told me pulling at his hair “All the things I missed in his life all of his firsts”
“You didn’t deserve any of them. You don’t deserve LB or me, but I’m giving you one chance to be a father to my son. I have only two rules. One, don’t let any of you skanks near my son. And two, tell me before you take him anywhere” and with that I left Hilton’s office slamming the door in his face.
That felt good I thought. Making my way towards my son.
