Second chance

Chapter three

After that there was just silence between us him trying to make sense of his situation and me just there. After a while he stood up

“Liam is asleep I better go” he said

“Please bring him again tomorrow” I said in a slow and very small voice afraid he might start avoiding me and not bring Liam, he just nodded and left

Liam became my life line, Kai’s mother was no more and the alpha never remarried so it was just the three men and Liam was a fussy baby. The female beta and gamma were there and helped out but I wanted to do it. One of Liams fussiest days my wolf Kora who I had believed was dead pushed forward and clearly claimed mine looking at Liam and little by little I had put on the work to get healthy again and when I claimed Liam as mine Kai didn’t protest or reject it he had simply said ours, perhaps he had seen I had something to live for and left it at that. By the time Liam was eight months I had been healthy enough to help out. Not completely recovered but I could moved around, bath him, feed him and made sure Liam had everything he needed and because of my dedication to make sure Liam was okay I had quickly recovered. By the time Liam was two years I was healthy no one would ever think I had once knocked on death’s door, Liam truly believed I was his mother and to me he was my son and I fully embraced being his mother. Kai had asked me to be his family, his chosen mate and help raise Liam and I had refused, Kai was my sister’s mate and though he had rejected her I didn’t think it was wise for me to hole up with her former mate, it didn’t seem appropriate. By the time Liam turned three Kai was talking about finding a chosen mate and Cullen was now actively searching for his mate as he was nearing thirty without a mate and I wasn’t sure of my position when it comes to Liam, if Kai gets a chosen mate and Cullen finds his where would that leave me? As Liam’s nanny, mother, aunt or pushed pushed out? I started having panic attacks when I thought about being kicked out of Liam’s life, he was my son and I’m his mother I don’t think I would be able to live without him or leave him. With my mind made up there was one thing to do, I went in search of Kai

“ Kai are you free I linked him as I couldn’t find him” I had become a full member of this pack the moment I had recovered

“Yeah what’s up” he answered

“I need to talk to you face to face” I answered

“ I’m almost at the pack house, see you in five” he replied and I waited for him

As soon as he reached the pack house I followed him

“ is there somewhere private we can talk?” I asked

“Your room or mine” he asked and saw how uncomfortable I was

“We can use Cullen’s office his not around and I’m sure his beta and gamma won’t mind” he simply said after a pause and I nodded. That’s how I found myself sitting across from Kai

“ about your chosen mate do you have anyone in mind?” I asked, he looked at me funny but answered anyway

“Yeah there are two people I’m thinking about, I haven’t spoken to them yet but will do soon” he said

“And who are these people?” I asked

“Why do you want to know amber” he asked I waited a bit thinking if I should say my fears or not in the end I decided to tell him the truth

“ I wanted to know if they are good enough for Liam and wanted to know what would my role to Liam be? After you take a chosen mate” I said truthfully

“I would like to believe I’m now mature enough to be able to choose a good woman and as for your role I will not push you out of Liam’s life but it also depends on my new mate what role she would be willing you to be, but you would always be his aunt” he finished and I abruptly stopped up in anger slapping the table

“ Liam is mine he is my son and I won’t let anyone take him away from me” I said anger consuming me

“What will have me do Amber? Huh I can’t stop my wife from adopting my child if chooses to and like I said I won’t kick you out of his life but I don’t want to complicate his life and if whoever I choose to be my wife accepts him that would be his mother” he said in a calm voice

“And if they don’t?” I asked

“Simple end of relationship, I’m a father Amber and whoever chooses me chooses my son as well I won’t accept one without the other” he replied

“At the end of it I still end up as his aunt not mother, how do you expect me to tell little Liam to stop calling mom but auntie, it would break his heart and mine” I protested with tears in my eyes

“You have been a great mother to Liam that’s why I had asked you to be my chosen mate and you refused, I can’t wait for a second chance that’s if I have one to begin with I’m still tied to Lottie as she refused to accept my rejection”
