Long Awaited Mate Is A Baby novel Chapter 42

"But you went and killed him. You slaughtered him in cold blood, leaving me without him. And through all the pain I felt, you felt nothing. You never liked my son, and once he was gone, you had your mate all to yourself again. While I was alone,"

"You weren't alone," Allie whispers from behind me. "You had dad, and me," Lucy doesn't seem to hear Allie's words, and if she does, she doesn't acknowledge it.

"You're wrong, Lucy," I say, cutting her off before she can start to speak again. "You weren't alone, and I went through plenty of pain after I killed Micah. Sure, it wasn't from his death, but from what he did to my mate, his sister. You lost a person you loved, not your other half. That's Peter for you, and he's still alive. Does he even know where you are?"

Lucy snarls at my words and steps forward as if she'll attack me, but seems to remember something, and steps away again.

"He doesn't matter, Kaden," she snarls. "I didn't bring you here so you can talk about My husband,"

"So did you bring me here so you can complain about Micah's death, then?" I tease darkly. Allie shivers behind me, and I reach behind my back to squeeze her hand. She seems to relax slightly.

"No, I didn't," hisses Lucy. "I brought you here so I can reclaim what's really mine,"

My immediate thought is tha she means Allie, so I reach both of my arms to grab her. Lucy can't have her, no one can.

"She's not yours," I growl. "She's mine,"

Lucy laughs without humour. "Oh, it's not her I want. I could care less what you do with her,"

At het mom's words, Allie let's out a choked sob from behind my back. I know her mother hasn't been the greatest, but its still her mom, and I can't imagine how it must hurt to hear those words from a person who's supposed to love you no matter what.

"If it's not Allie that you want, what is?" I ask hesitantly.

Lucy smiles at me, and it's wider, brighter, than any other smile she's given me. But it's also cold and evil, and chills me to the bone.

"I don't want, Allie," she murmurs. "But I want your title,"

"I don't want, Allie," she murmurs. "But I want your title,"

I stare at the mother of my mate in complete shock. My title? I'm the Alpha, it's in my blood. Why does she think she can have it? She must be crazy. She has to be.

"How did you find out about that?" I question, raising a brow on her direction.

Lucy shrugs, still smirking like a clown. "It doesn't matter where my information came from," she tells me. "All you should be concerned about is that precious title you where, is rightfully mine,"

As Lucy speaks, my mind runs blank, and I can't think of anything to get me out of this situation.

"Kaden," Allie whispers from behind me. I jump slightly, having forgotten that she was even here.

"What?" I whisper back to her.

"Cat got your tounge, baby Kaden?" Lucy asks, not hearing the exchange between her daughter and I.

"Shut up," I hiss. She just smirks to herself.
