RAZE

I was known as the cursed one, the bastard son of the Alpha, a result of a one night stand between the king and a maid.

The packs burden, an absolute waste of space and I took on this titles with a lot of joy because why dispute it? There was no point in doing that anyways.

I had never been on good terms with my half brother, Talon. A part of him thought I wanted to go against him and fight for the Alpha throne, a part of me knew that was absolutely true too.

Especially now that I got some slight information that he might not be the legitimate son of my father but an adopted child by the Luna. His evil treacherous wife.

Imagine my dismay four years ago when I found out I was mated to the same person my half brother wanted to make his Luna.

She was bound to both of us and she didn't even know it. That could have caused a lot of problems for me if I had acknowledged the bond so I did what every reasonable person would do and visited a priestess who helped me weaken the bond so she never found out.

My sweet little doll, Lyraen Dreya. Even her name sounded as sexy and beautiful as she is.

And now she had given birth to my baby under my people and she didn't even know it because it wasn't the best time to reveal that yet.

When she got banished, I realized I had to claim her as mine and sent my faction to go after her and keep her safe while I laid low back at Talon's pack and figure out a few things.

She was pregnant for me, she didn't know it and I couldn't let her suffer like that.

How blissful it felt finding her drunk after she had just had sex with Talon and subtly giving her after sex pills? I couldn't explain the feeling and excitement running through me at that time.

It was wrong, yes. I knew that. But I had done it anyways.

And then the mate bond got a better of me and I had fucked her that night, she never knew and she doesn't have to find out now.

“Where are you?” I heard Alaric's voice in my head through the mind link, he was a member of my faction as well and had sneaked out to see me.

“I can see you. Just keep walking forward.” He finally caught sight of me and ran towards my direction.

“How have you been?” I questioned and he nodded.

“Good, good. There's been a development.” He started rasply and my brows furrowed the whole time.

“Alright. Go on.” I gestured for him to continue talking.

“Talon caught up with Lyraen and he knows she has a male child. Infact, I heard that he is moving to come and claim the child because he believes the child is his.” I gritted my teeth and anger seemed to override me so I slammed my fist into a nearby tree.

“Fuck him! How the fuck did he know that she was in the faction and had a child?” I grunted and Alaric just sat on the bare grass.

“Words flew around. He wanted an ally, but Lyraen rejected. Then he sent spies and you can probably tell how it went down.” Alaric stated and I took a deep breath in while clenching and unclenching my fist.

There's no way in this life that I'd let that bastard have his filthy hands on my son. Never!

“I guess it's time to go home. Reveal that I'm the leader of the faction.” I finally said and I heard Alaric gasp.

“Are you being serious? You're really going to come home?” He questioned in excitement and moved to hug me but I quickly stepped to the side, ducking from his hug.

“Of course, I'm coming home. I don't want that piece of shit around my own so definitely. Return to the pack and expect me.” He nodded and shook my hand while sprinting back home as I walked the opposite direction.

When I got back to Talon's pack, inconspicuous like I never left, I realized he had already left for my faction. Fucking piece of shit.

I quickly exited the pack as well with no one knowing, I was the bastard son of the late king so no one really cared about my whereabouts.

“Raze!” Elena's voice rang out and I gestured to her to seal her lips.

“Dont yell. What's going down there?” I pointed to the office door and she chuckled.

“Talon Voss is here, he wants to take Eryx. And Lyraen is having none of it while giving him a piece of her mind. I must say, the moon goddess gave you a real one.” She did a thumbs up and I smiled as I approached the door.

“You lied to me, Lyraen. You were pregnant and you never told me. My heir has been with you.” Talon's voice rang out and I rubbed my forehead in anger.

“Now I can confirm you're crazy. You need to leave and I don't owe you no explanation. My boy isn't going anywhere with you.” Lyraen yelled and it was time for me to stop this.

“The boy is coming with me. He's my son after all.” Talon insisted and I pushed open the office door.

“Actually, no. Eryx isn't going anywhere and sure as hell not your son, because he belongs to me. I'm his father.” I stated and they both turned to stare at me with shock in their eyes as I grabbed a seat.

“Raze? The fuck are you doing here, you bastard?” Talon attacked and I stood to my feet.

“Elena.” I called and she came running in almost immediately.

“Yes sire.”

“Sire?” Lyraen repeated in visible confusion.

“You should really pick your words carefully, Talon. You're in my pack, I'm the alpha leader around and I'm not usually really friendly here,” I turned to Elena and smiled at her, “Could you get me a black leather jacket. This one is filthy since it was on me throughout all the sprinting across the forest.” Elena nodded immediately and left while I smiled at Talon.

“Your pack? You're an Alpha leader?” They both questioned the jinx. How beautifully it is unfolding.
