“The boy”

“What boy?”

I say purging my lips, I wanted to know her deal, why now after all this time

“My grandson”

“Sorry I have no idea what your talking about”

She frowns

“Well you are caring for my grandson Hunter”

I frown looking her straight in the damn eye

“Surly not? I found MY SON in an orphanage, surly if he had any relatives he wouldn’t have been there, and surely I would have heard from you before now? It is after all 6/7 months since we ADOPTED OUR SON”

I was fuming, no not just fuming I was f*****g livid! Her jaw drops open and she looks around a very surprised crowd, I never talk to people like this but this was about my son! My baby and I wouldn’t let her come in here and hurt him!

“I didn’t know I had a grandso—“

“—bullshit, your the reason he was sent to live with his father, your the reason he had broken over 30 bones in his body, your the reason or sorry the only living reason that his skull was fractured in 3 different places. You told your daughter that she couldn’t keep him and made her send him of to that monster wiping your hands of him and almost getting him killed multiple times”

She freezes, her eyes widen in shock and all the colour drains from her face.

“I—I don—“

“Then don’t say a thing, turn around and walk away, I don’t want to see you again, I never want you around my son and if you start any trouble I’ll personally banish you from the pack. Get out of my sight”

I snap angrily

“That’s not fair, I have a right to see him”

I laugh shaking my head, it’s fake and sarcastic

“To hell you do, you have no rights, you lost them all when you wiped your hands clean of him. And if we really want to get into stuff, you telling your daughter she couldn’t keep him is what started all these events and in the end she was killed because of your choices so you don’t get any rights. Not when it comes to my son who’s already been through hell and back because of you and the shitty excuse for adults that looked after him for the first year and a half of his life”

“I think you better go”

Gerald snaps at her, he holds me close to his chest, Hunter climbs out of the water and runs to me

“Mumma! Mumma wats wong?”

He jumps on me, soaking me in water. I squeak as he giggles his heart out. I grab a towel and bundle him up dry him off

“You little s**t, you got me all wet and there is nothing wrong, just Luna business”

He chuckles, shaking his head, his hair was soaking wet and it sprays of him soaking everyone in little droplets of water.

“Ahhh your soaking your oma”

Mum screeches as she starts to tickle him. Palm stands back watching the entire thing and she didn’t look happy about it.

Dad glares at her, he obviously hears a thought of hers or something because he jumps up and he grabs her arm and he discreetly yanks her away from me. I would love to punch her in the face.

“Who dat woman?”

He asks pointing at palm as dad stands there scolding her in the distance

“Don’t worry my sweet boy”

“Bu she made Yow sad”

I shake my head and throw on my best smile just for my boy, I grab him and blow raspberries on his cheeks.

“Nothing can make me sad when your around”

He giggles as I blow more on his belly

“Are you finished in the water buddy?”

Gerald asks standing up, Hunter stands up and drops his towel and takes geralds hand

“I com wit Yow”

They walk of and back down towards the water as dad returns and takes a seat beside us

“What was that about?”

“Not sure but she’s up to something, if I ever doubted it before I don’t now, that woman is a witch Lycan. She can close her mind off to me”

“You mean you can’t hear her thoughts?”

Mum asks, sitting up straighter

“I can but only little bits here and there. We should just be careful, if she causes trouble kick her out”

I nod my head

“Noted”

Dexter comes running up the pathway soaking wet, he no longer resembles a demon kid, nana has his hair cut stylishly, his face wore a permanent smile making him look more approachable and like a real 2 year old boy instead of the thing of nightmares.

“Did Yow see? Did Yow see?”

I look around at what he’s talking about

“No, what is it?”

“Watch me and daddy”

He shouts, turning around and running back the way he came so I decide to record it. If it’s so important that he leaves the water to tell me to watch then obviously it’s really important.

I watch as grandads and Gerald line up, my stomach drops as kids line up and Scott lifts Hunter and he throws him into the air and jaxon catches him.

I screech in shock, nearly dropping my phone. Why can they not see that babies were not toys you can throw around. I continue to record even though my heart was beating so so fast, my palms were sweaty and my breaths were shallow as I tried to watch as jaxon throws him into the air and Gerald catches him, but when Gerald throws him next I nearly have a f*****g heart attack jumping up with a squeak.

Hunter lands in the water with a squeal, mum and dad thought my reaction was hilarious but I didn’t. Hunter pops back up, his head bobbles above the water as he giggles in excitement.

“Would you both stop laughing!”

“Oh come on it’s a little funny, he’s perfectly safe”

I roll my eyes, sitting back down and grumbling to myself. I watch the kids play for another while but as I start to relax again some woman I recognised from the pack but didn’t know storms over like she was on a mission.

“How f*****g dare you talk to my MOTHER like that! Who do you think you are!”

Everyone around us gasps, freezing in shock. This is why I hated doing stuff with the pack, they think because we liked to relax to mean’s we are like them and not their leaders. Never in my life have I ever been disrespected like this, twice in 1 day.

“I am YOUR LUNA”

I snap jumping up as Lou pushes forward fuming in anger.

“YOU WILL talk to me with respect”

“All she wanted was to meet him! All she wanted was to say hello!”

She shouts at me, dad growls but I move faster, taking her by the throat and I squeeze. She starts to pull on my hand, scratchin it up, but by now I was so angry I couldn’t even feel it.

“How f*****g dare you! I warned your mother and now your out of chances. When I let you go you have 10 seconds to get out of my sight and 20 minutes to be off my land. You are banished”
