Chapter 26
My eyes grow wide as I felt his lips against mine, lingering. Everything happened too quick, and my brain slowly tried to register everything.
I thought he would kiss me chastely and pull away but instead he just remained still, his body pressing me further into the wall and his lips lips hungrily lashing over my mouth.
It seemed like my own senses of thinking disappeared instantly. My body felt paralyzed against his.
Every voice in my head screamed at me to push him away but something kept me from doing so.
I felt my wolf rejoice inside. It felt like very tiny fireflies had exploded inside my head, somewhere deep in my subconscious.
I never knew this was what being kissed by Cain would feel like. I’ve had times to imagine how it would feel like even when I knew it was most likely not possible to happen.
now.
But each time I’d spared myself the thought, I’d felt this beautiful sensation inside me, just like I was feeling right
This isn’t right…. I should be pushing him away. Not just pushing him from kissing me, but pushing him entirely from my life. Because I didn’t just want him away from Ace, I didn’t want him finding out what I did when I had Ace.
Like someone who’d been jolted back into life by a pair of stabilizers, I stroked his hard chest and pushed him gently, then fiercely as he wouldn’t let go of me.
Our lips makes a snapping sound as I broke the kiss off and he’s forced back
away
from me.
He looks confused that I pushed him, that I’d actually pushed him. But he shouldn’t.
My heartbeat continued to accelerate just like it did when his car first came to a rough stop after he almost got us killed. I felt furious and my chest heaved heavily as I watched him.
him.
Words failed me. I didn’t know what to say to him.
Stepping to the side so I could maneuver my way past him back onto the street, I said “I need to leave.”
“Effie….. I’m sorry..” I heard his voice before his hand grabbing my wrist and bringing to a stop.
My heart suddenly hurt so much that breathing became so hard for me. I just wanted to leave and be away from
“Effie I’m sorry that I hurt you again,” his voice is soft and sympathetic “I’m sorry that I hurt you over and over again. I just wanna make everything right. I just wanna make up for what I did to you in the past, I know nothing can ever make up for that. I just want you and our son to be a family, Effie. Please.”
I searched for the right words to say as I watched his face.
Why did I still want him so much even when I heart hurt this much after him? It was insane.
“Why are you really here, Cain?” I asked him the same question that has been gnawing at me since his arrival before I could stop myself.
The look on Cain’s face instantly takes a different turn as the question left my mouth. I knew Cain didn’t know about my son until his arrived London. And I know he never could have trailed me down here. So something else must have brought him down here and I just know it each time I look at him.

Chapter 26
“You’re a price Gain, “I continue “this isn’t your type of world. You’re an Alpha. A white mountain wolf. You don’t leave your territory for anything unless it’s important. Something must have brought you down here and you’re not even telling me.”
“Let me take you to dinner tomorrow, then I can tell you everything.” He replies, nearly cutting me off.
Without having much to say anymore, I nodded and wiggled my wrist out of his grip.
I walk back to his parked car and pulled the door open to sit inside. He walks over and gets into the car before driving off into the streets.
The drive was ear splitting silent.
Once he pulled up right in front of my house, I stepped out of his car and walked up to my door without saying a word to him.
I was far into my house before I heard his car leaving, and I let out the breath I’d been holding for the last minute before collapsing onto my bed.
My arms spread out, I watched the white ceiling above and it stared down at me.
Everything felt too heavy.
I stirred in my sleep the next morning to the smell of fresh baken invading my nostrils.
I scrunched my nose and was hit with a completely different scent. The scent of my son.
My lips gently lifting into a small smile, I opened my eyes to find Ace’s big dark eyes staring back at me, and my lips twisted into a smile.
Ace smiles widely too, his arms fumbling with each other on top of the edge of the bed where his body is leaning over as he stood before the bed.
“I’ve been waiting for you to wake up mommy.” His voice is melodic, causing my smile to grow even wider.
“Have you been waiting for me to wake up for too long baby?” I ask him sleepily.
He quickly shakes his head negatively, his now extremely long blond hair swaying about his face and said “no mommy. I’ve only walked inside your room for like…. five minutes ago.”
Rising up to a sitting position, I draw my body closer to him and reached a hand over his forehead and dragged my fingers under his hair, brushing his hair backwards before planting a kiss on his forehead.
stairs.
“Did you sleep well baby?” I asked him.
“Yes mommy!” He replies excitedly.
Rising up to my feet, I take his little hand into mine and walked us out of the room.
“Nanny Carla is making some breakfast! I told her I would come get you.” Ace said excitedly as we went down the
