Astrid was packing everything to return to Greven, she knew that she would not be able to enter the Blue Cascade pack, given her expulsion, but she could request permission to settle in a nearby pack, she hoped that she would not be rejected, she needed answers, knowing who the father of her pup was paramount.
- Mommy\, where are we going? – Asked little Alain\, sitting in the middle of the bed\, while watching his mother pack.
- To a new home – Astrid replied\, she looked at her little one- A magical place that you will love – She said.
She stopped packing the clothes and got on the bed, she noticed that her little one was discouraged and that was something she did not like.
- Mommy\, am I crazy? – He asked looking at her with his sad blue eyes.
- No my love\, you are not… to the place where we are going you are going to understand everything that happens\, but little by little\, okay? Just trust Mom – She said\, she caressed her little one's cheek.
Alain's eyes sparkled with happiness, he climbed onto his mother's lap and hugged her.
- I love you\, Mommy – Said the little one.
Astrid hugged her little one tightly, she never thought that she would return to the Greven kingdom, but for her little one she was willing to do anything, he would need help to control his wolf and only his unknown father could help him.
**************
In the palace of the kingdom of Greven, the King was attending to matters as usual, from the shadows, after what happened that night at the lake, he had moved further away from society, because his lycanthrope has been out of control since then.
- Majesty. – His Beta Danilo arrived\, he has been with the king for many years\, more than the king's Beta he was also one of his best friends.
- What's wrong? – Asked the king\, absorbed in the documents he had to review and sign.
- The council of elders again – Danilo said with concern in his words.
The king left the documents and leaned back in his comfortable chair, looked intently at his beta, raising an eyebrow waiting for him to continue.
- Again they question about your offspring – Danilo finished.
The king nodded and gave a bitter smile, he could understand the concern of the elders, in itself of the whole kingdom, because without an heir the throne of Greven was in danger.
- Maybe I should… - Danilo began to say\, but stopped immediately when he saw the furious look that his king was now giving him.
- Leave me alone – He ordered calmly.
Danilo left at the order of his king.
The king of Greven, Kaelen Keith, the last lycanthrope, has lived his whole life as the last heir of the Kingdom, although many times he was offered to conceive an heir with women of high society, he refused outright, because he deeply desired to be blessed by the Moon Goddess with a destined partner and thus be able to have more than one pup.
He remembered the night at that lake, the way his lycanthrope went out of control and satisfied his sexual appetite with her, who at that time was a virgin, he felt guilty for the way he took her, but he could not say that he regretted it, because it had been his best experience, and he had promised that he would make her his Queen. But when he woke up she was not there.
He looked for her immediately, he ordered his Beta Danilo to bring her before him, with the suspicion that she was the one who was going to become the Moon of the Blue Cascade pack. But when his beta returned he told him that she was no longer in the pack.
He did not give up and continued looking for her, his lycanthrope was furious every day for not having her by his side, but he was not successful, the days turned into weeks, then months and finally after a year, he gave up the search, it was as if the earth had swallowed her.
- Control yourself – He said in a whisper to his lycanthrope\, just remembering that night with that girl\, made his lycanthrope furious\, he still desired her as much as that night - is she our partner? – He asked\, but there was no answer.
That's how he was, for Kaelen despite having communication with his lycanthrope, they rarely spoke, because with the passing of the years and without having a mate, his lycanthrope had become more savage and his way of expressing himself was taking control by force, something that Kaelen did not allow him, rare was the time that he let himself be blinded by the animal instinct of his fierce lycanthrope.
**************
Astrid already had everything ready for the trip back to Greven, although she was too nervous she tried to stay calm in front of her pup, Alain was very excited about that trip, he hoped to meet children of his age, who would not treat him as "weird".
- Mommy\, and will I meet my grandparents? – Alain asked as he let his mother buckle him up.
- Yes\, I hope so. – Astrid said.
In all these years she had not communicated with her parents, she hoped that on her return they would not reject her little Alain. And accept him as what he is, their grandson.
Astrid got in on the driver's side and started the car, taking the road to the Greven kingdom, with a lot of fear and nerves, but at the same time determined to be able to help her pup.
Alain watches the road through the window, he was in the back, his mom had told him that his new home would be all different and he hoped it would be so, although the most important thing for him was that his mommy was always with him.
- Mommy\, will I be able to meet my daddy? – Alain asked out of the blue.
Astrid sighed at that question, he had already asked that question more than once and she always avoided it, because she did not even know him, but this time it was different the reason for her return to Greven was to find him, that man who was the only one who could help Alain.
- Yes – Astrid said decisively.
- How exciting! I hope he loves me very much – Little Alain said excitedly.
Astrid bit her lower lip without stopping looking ahead, she hoped that it would be so that Alain would be loved by his father, otherwise it would be painful for the pup of few years.
*****
After long hours of travel, they finally entered the Greven Kingdom, Astrid's heart was beating strongly, it had been years since she was in that place, she had forgotten everything, wolves, witches, sorcerers, fairies, in itself all the fantastic creatures that for humans were simply myths, unreal characters.
- How do you say? – She heard her little one speak - Okay… - He said again and raised his eyes towards his mother who was looking at him from the rearview mirror.
- What's wrong? – Astrid asked trying to sound calm.
- Loki says don't go into the forest\, there are bad things – Said the little one just as his wolf told him.
- Is his name Loki? – He asked.
Alain nodded.
- Wow\, he is named after a crazy God – she whispered softly\, but little Alain heard.
- He says he's not crazy – Alain replied.
Astrid started laughing.
- I'm sorry\, tell Loki that thank you\, that I will take into account his advice – Astrid commented.
She had to believe what her little one said, even she, despite not having a wolf, could feel the danger, although she had not noticed anything since the trip, but given that the wolf of her pup said it, whose father was unknown, it was best to believe him.
She found a small hotel, so they would spend the night there, tomorrow she would contact her parents, to tell them the new news, hoping that they had not forgotten her or were simply not angry for having disappeared without saying anything.
The room was small, but enough to spend the night, Astrid bought something for dinner and after doing so, she put Alain in his pajamas to sleep, the little one quickly fell into a deep sleep in her arms.
Astrid was thinking about everything that happened after that night, while caressing the black hair of her pup.
***** Flash Back*****
Astrid woke up without knowing how much time had passed, her body was sore and of course, it was obvious, that man had taken her so many times that she lost count, besides that his size was impressive.
- Stupid – She whispered looking at the man sleeping next to her\, she was wearing his jacket that she did not even know when he put it on.
She got up with effort and looked towards the sky, it was still dark, but maybe not for long, she took off the jacket and threw it against the body of that man who was lying face down, his slightly long black hair covered his face completely.
- Jerk\, you said you would be gentle – She kicked him in the ribs\, but he didn't even wake up.
Casting one or two curses she took her ruined dress and went home, her parents should be worried about her absence.
Arriving home, she noticed Leandro's car parked outside, she swore she did not even want to see him, but well, she would simply send him to hell to continue with her life, which she now had to plan again.
- Astrid\, where have you been? What happened to you? – Her mother said when she saw her enter the room.
- Around there in the forest – Astrid said carelessly\, she directed her gaze towards Leandro.
Leandro scanned her from head to toe, her clothes were covered in mud, her hair disheveled, her face with smeared makeup and then he sniffed, her scent was combined with someone else's, with that of a man, the worst thing is that he could smell the sex on her.
- Who the hell did you screw with?! – He shouted. Approaching her in a threatening way.
Astrid looked at him with a frown, he was no one to ask her that.
- Answer! Who did you give your virginity to?!- He grabbed her by the shoulders.
- Leandro\, please – Frank tried to intervene\, but Leandro stopped him with his alpha aura.
- What the hell do you care! – Astrid pushed him with all her strength- Who I have screwed with is my problem\, so don't come to bother me- She clarified trying to resist the alpha aura.
Leandro took one more step to her, but Astrid did not even flinch. Leandro ran both hands through his hair, he could not accept the fact that she had slept with another, he was so furious.
- Get out\, get out of my pack- He ordered furiously.
Astrid opened her eyes in surprise, he was simply throwing her out, he could not do it or could he?
- You have two hours to leave\, if you have not left by then\, then you will be banished – He threatened before leaving.
Astrid, let out a heavy sigh, looked at her parents, devastated by that decision of Leandro, they could not prevent it, they did not have a high rank to do so, they felt so powerless at that moment.
- Astrid who was it? – Aurora approached - Maybe\, he will take responsibility… - She said hopefully.
- It does not matter- Astrid said\, at that point she doubted that that man was still at the lake - I must get my things ready – She whispered with her broken voice.
Frank looked with pain at his daughter, he did not want her to leave, but being a simple inhabitant of the pack there was nothing he could do, he went to his room in search of a card with the savings he had prepared for Astrid once she got married.
***********
Astrid was preparing her suitcases, her mother kept asking about the identity of the man she had been with, but she refused to answer and it was not as if she had the answer.
- Astrid! – She shouted placing herself in the middle of the room.
- I don't know! – She replied in the same way- I have no idea who the hell I messed with\, so\, just help me pack\, before that bastard of Leandro comes back- She said with her dull voice.
- We could talk to him\, apologize for your fault…
- Never mom\, I will not apologize to that bastard\, he cheated on me first with Catalina and they are expecting a pup – Astrid said annoyed.
Aurora began to cry she simply wanted her daughter to stay with them, they had never been separated before.
Frank entered at that moment, he approached Astrid and handed her the card with all the savings.
- I spoke with your aunt Emma\, she will give you accommodation in her pack\, it is near here\, she will take care of doing everything for your permit – Her father said heavily.
- Thank you- Astrid replied looking at the card.
- It is yours\, so use it in what you need – Frank said tenderly\, then gave his beloved daughter a big hug.
After having everything packed, Astrid was taken to the terminal, there she would get on the bus that would take her to the neighboring pack, with a distant aunt of her parents.
- Astrid\, your necklace\, the one I gave you last night – Frank said before his daughter got on the bus.
- Do I return it to you? – She asked\, she was still wearing it.
- Never take it off or get rid of it\, it is all yours – He commented.
Astrid nodded, gave her parents another big hug and then got on the bus, that was the first time they separated and she knew she would not see them in a long time.
****** End of Flash Back******
Astrid looked at her little Alain sleeping in her arms, he had brightened her sad life, he was all she had and she would protect him at any cost.
- Please Moon Goddess\, if you hear me\, I mean just this once\, help me – She whispered heavily.
