Cameron

The results of the DNA test stares back at me, like the numbers will jump right out of the paper at any

moment

It’s negative.

The figures are reasonable enough to confirm there’s a blood relationship. But the paternity is negative.

Liam isn’t mine.

My brows furrow in disbelief.

I don’t know what I expected to see. Any result other than this would bring about complications.

I should be relieved.

But somewhere deep within, my heart tightens in disappointment.

It aches terribly.

My thoughts fade as Kael appears around the corner. He walks over to me, his steps calm and collected.

His eyes dart down to the file in my hand before I can hide it away. It’s just for a brief moment, but I don’t doubt he’s picked up on the symbol of the lab on the envelope.

Kael’s always been the most intuitive of us both.

But he doesn’t react. He doesn’t even look surprised.

He just stares at it blankly and then strides past me, heading back into the hall.

My brows furrow slightly. “No reaction?”

A thought dawns on me. Does he… already know I took Liam’s DNA sample?

That’s the only explanation for this calm reaction.

And if he does, the Kael I know won’t do nothing about it.

I glance down at the file in my hand, pursing my lips. “It’s been tampered.”

I know Kael too well to be mistaken about it. But if he went through all this trouble to tamper with the DNA report, then it can only mean…

There’s only one person that can clarify the truth. I have to know…

Pulling out my phone, I dial Laila’s number.

It rings. But no answer.

She finally picks on the third try. She’s quiet on the other end, all I can hear are her breaths. And mine. But I know she’s there… waiting for me to speak.

“Lails…” I trail off, suddenly unsure of what to say.

How do I ask my ex–wife if I’m the father of her son? Rather than her current husband?

I’d been the one to toss her out of my home. Banished her from my city.

If through all of that, she was pregnant with my child, how can I ever make up for the wrongs I’ve done to her?

But I have to know. Even if she’s not willing to have me as Liam’s father, I deserve to know.

“Liam…is mine, isn’t he?” The words shatter the silence.

She doesn’t respond. But for a moment, her breathing speeds up. It’s subtle, and she regains her faster than I can tell if that moment was real.

composure

“No.” Her response is cold, her tone flat. “If this is your way of getting back at Kael for what happened today, then it’s low… even for you.”

My hands tighten around the phone. “You forget, we were married for three years. I know when you’re lying, Lails…”

“I’ll find out the truth. And then, I’ll take back everything that’s mine.”

The other end of the line goes dead. I draw in a sharp breath, but it does nothing to ease the anger surging through my veins.

I’m about to head back into the hall, when a text pops into my phone. It’s from Vincent.

The text is a single attachment file titled; Report on Kelly’s unverifiable hospital visits.

Reading through the contents of Vincent’s report, my blood runs cold. I shake my head in a mix of disbelief and disappointment.

My daughter Kelly…the report says she’s perfectly healthy… placed on a regimen of wolfsbane to induce anemia.

All this while, Kelly wasn’t truly ill. Someone was making her sick… someone…

The bottom of the report is signed with S.H.

Sarah Heath.

My chest feels tight. And my hands grip the phone tight enough, my knuckles are white.

Sarah… she’d left in a rage. And a part of me felt guilty to her.

Chapter 86

Guilty that my thoughts were on something else… someone else while my wife was possibly about to lose everything she holds dear

But Vincent’s report nips all traces of guilt. I feel my wolf retreating deeper into my mind as our bond goes quiet and all that’s left is rage.

I’ve wasted three years on that woman. And not only was she concealing her ties to Bluewater Pack, she also intentionally harmed our daughter.

Just then, it clicks.

The poisoning incident from three years ago. My eyes go wide, a chill running down my spine.

I whirl around, heading out to the entrance.

I have to see Laila.

The varlet is quick to bring my car around and I get in while dialing Laila’s number again.

This time, she picks on the second call.

“Cameron… that’s enough.” She’s saying but I cut her off.

“I’m coming to you.” I say firmly, “I… I know it wasn’t you.”

She’s quiet, but her breathing quickens again.

“I know you didn’t poison Kelly.” I clarify,

Still, no response.

“I already told Granddad, I’ll make you my Luna.”

She laughs this time, but there’s no amusement in her tone.

“It’s too late now, Cameron. Don’t you see?” Her voice is heavy with exhaustion. “You can’t change the past. And to pretend that there’s even a chance for that is lying to yourself.”

“Our story ended on that rainy night, Cameron Blackwood.”

I shake my head firmly, even if she can’t see me. I don’t believe I’ve lost. Not yet…not to Kael.

“I’m not giving up on you, Laila.” I enunciate the words clearly so she understands it as deeply as I mean it.

I don’t wait to hear her response. I toss the phone to the back seat and just drive.

I’ll go to her, I’ll look her in the eyes and ask her to be mine again.

And this time… I won’t ever let her go.
