Chapter 18
shrouded by the stark darkness of my office. I gazed absentmindedly at the files sitting on my desk. All that filled my head were Freya’s words. All thear while I have been raising a bastard in my home. I have been fooled by the very woman I called my mate. Strangely, these thoughts were the least sore that haunted me. What burned me most was that I betrayed Aubrey’s trust. She loved me more than her own life yet I foolishly cast her our of my life.
My office door suddenly opened and my mother sauntered inside, johing me from my world of thoughts.
“How can you be seated here so comfortably when your son hasn’t even regained consciousness!!” Anger blared wildly in her tone while she turned on the light switch.
“My son!” I scoffed. “The bastard is not even mine,” I picked up my half–filled glass of whiskey
“Have you gotten so drunk in whiskey that your common sense has left you!” She angrily strode to the front of my desk and I noisily landed my class [comp on the desk.
“What has gotten into you tonight?” She blared. “I heard that you got slapped at Alpha Stephen’s party. By whom? Aubrey! Do you realize how fast the words are spreading! Thanks to your silly mistake, the partnership with Alpha Stephen’s Pack is at stake!
And let’s not forget that your son’s life is hanging between life and death. The last thing you should be doing is sitting there and drinking in a stupor, Roland Robertson!” She hanged the desk and the rage I’d successfully kept at bay exploded. I gripped my glass cup so hard that it shattered to pieces. her eyes mirrored the deadly shade of red beaming from my eyes. She exhaled sharply, unable to comprehend my sudden anger.
“Roland ”
“It’s better I remain in this seat because I promise you, Mother, if I leave now. Melissa’s head will roll,” I growled. “She better hope the result turns
out well”
that result!” Her brows arched in concer
“What result?” She stuttered.
“Freya found something, that Jeremy is not my son!”
“What?! How!!!!
“During the blood transfusion. His blood group is different from Freya and I.”
“I don’t believe it!”
“I trust Freya but then again, there’s only one way to be certain. A DNA test”
“Roland Melissa is your mate! How could you doubt her-
-she cheated on me I barked,
“Roland!!!”
“I don’t care what you have to say in Melissa’s defense but I know for certain that Freya will never lie to me. Oh, and Ldearly hope that I’m wrong if not my lips pursed as my claws extended. There will be blood,” I vowed in a growl that sent shivers down her spine.
Roland, might I remind you that Freya is Aubrey’s best friend, she has never been on good terms with Melissa. What if this is some crazy scheme To separate you and Melissa! Your wedding is in two days!“
“I don’t care about the wedding!”
“Melissa loves you! She left everything she has achieved just to be by your side as your Luna!”
“Oh yeah” We’ll see about that ‘love‘ when the DNA result arrives”
“What DNA result?” Both of us drifted in the direction of the door Melissa eased through with confusion boldly painting her face.
“Oh speak of the devil” My claws scratched the desk as I arose, my eyes still beaming red. Never in my life have I been so irritated to see Melissa
“Melissa, why don’t you leave—”
“Oh no, mother. Now that she’s here, let’s face this matter squarely. I should d be still in control of my wolf for n
now”

How dare you!”
I swung the table to the right causing it to crash into the wall. Both of them flinched but I didn’t waver in the slightest/

“Ferya did” Now you better start talking”
“Are
Are you going to believe the words of that woman over your mate!!”
I sped to her and her breaths failed to leave her throat. I could smell fear reeking off her and it only fueled my anger.
“Ive known Freya for a long time before I met you! So if you think you’re going to make this issue about trust then you better reset your agenda Tell me the truth Melissa or I might as well lose it completely and kill that bastard of a child wherever he ist
