“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to cause any trouble between you and your mother.”
“You didn’t. We never had the usual mother-son relationship. I was raised by Luna Elena.”
The mention of that name brought back unpleasant memories. I willed myself to forget them and remain in the present.
“Why?” I asked.
“I was her mate’s first son. She believed it was her duty to fill the maternal role in my life since my real mother was merely a breeder. She was one of many, by the way.”
“Why didn’t your father stick to one breeder?”
He shrugged. “I guess it was just an excuse to have s*x with multiple women and pretend that it was for the sake of continuing his bloodline.”
“But he had concubines too. I was one of them.”
“Don’t remind me,” he said curtly. “Are you hungry? I think it’s time for lunch.”
