CHAPTER 2

Kevin's POV

She quickly glanced at me and closed her phone. “Of course, Kevin. I’m happy. How could I not be? Mr. Dan is so handsome and such a gentleman. He always treats me well.”

I could tell she was being honest just by looking at her eyes. There was a shine in them, and her cheeks were slightly flushed. She was truly in love with him. I just hoped he loved Mom, too, and wasn’t just using her.

“Glad to hear that, Mom,” I replied, leaning back into the seat.

I slid both hands into my hoodie pockets and closed my eyes. The cold air made me sleepy, and I drifted off almost immediately.

Then, I felt a touch on my shoulder. My eyes snapped open. They felt heavy, and I realized I had fallen asleep. The car had stopped. I glanced at Mom, she was looking at me, and the door on her side was open.

“Mom… have we arrived?” I asked, rubbing my eyes and wiping the drool from my mouth.

“Yes, honey. We’ve arrived at our new house.”

I opened the door beside me and stepped out. What I saw made me almost doubt reality. It was enormous, an aesthetic mansion that looked like something straight out of TV or my phone. I had never even dreamed I would actually live in such a luxurious, sprawling house.

Many cars were parked in front of the mansion, and a dense forest loomed behind it. For a moment, it gave me a slightly eerie, almost horror-like vibe.

That’s when Mom came and stood beside me. I held her hand, and we stepped forward together.

As we moved closer, the mansion’s entrance seemed to grow bigger and bigger. When we finally reached it, the massive doors swung open, servants holding them wide. My heart was racing, but I stepped inside with Mom.

“Darling, you’re finally here!” A deep voice reached my ears. I glanced ahead.

A tall man, around 5’7”, stood there, dark hair alone with same eyes. He wasn’t very young, but looked about the same age as Mom. His face was strikingly handsome, exuding the unmistakable aura of a strong alpha.

“Daddy… Orry also wants to meet his new brother.”

I looked at the boy standing next to him. His hair was red, matching his eyes, and he clung to the alpha’s hand. His height was similar to mine, I think we shared the same frame. And we were both omegas. He must be the youngest son of my stepfather.

Mom moved forward, planting a kiss on my stepfather’s cheek and hugging the young omega tightly. They both looked so happy, like a real family. Even their clothes matched, adding to the picture-perfect scene.

Unlike me, wearing a cheap hoodie and feeling completely out of place.

"Hey, don’t block my path. If you want to think hard, then step aside and think as much as you need."

A sudden voice reached my ears. I flinched and quickly turned around.
