King Regal's Untamed Mate

chapter 05.

*****************Two years later. ******************

I had already given birth to a little boy. He was my everything. He was my life. I loved him with everything in me. I had named him Azad because he was the light in my darkness. He's the one who gave me my freedom. He's the only man I ever loved deeply and truly.

I had already started my own business with Lana. We were running a small restaurant. It was not much but enough to get my baby boy everything he needed.

With the help of Lana we made everything possible. She helped with many things, since I had no documentation.

She even helped me with my first shift. It was easy since there was a forest close by. Well the shift was not easy, it was the most painful bone breaking thing I've done in my life. But well it was quite easy now and for some reason I had a very big strong and beautiful black wolf. It looked silver under the moon light and it glowed beautifully and jet black in the darkness. I had expected a weak little wolf since I was rogue, but yet again I was a daughter of an Alpha, that could have had an impact. Dina I had named her. She was different from others. She had no wolf essence. Lana would tell me everyday that she could barely even sense if I was a wolf. I was practically invisible to any other wolf or would be simply classified as human.

I had been training Dina for 2 years now and she was getting stronger like crazy. She was fast and quick to think. Well that's what I thought since I never really fought any other wolf other than Lana's. But she kept telling me I was amazing and she thought I could even defeat some high ranked members of her pack. Well I knew with that part, she was only trying to make me feel better.

I heard my phone ring on the side of my bed waking me up.

"It's so early in the morning." I mumbled picking up the phone.

" Hello?" I say noticing the number was not even saved on my log. Who could it be so early in the morning.

"Is this Miss Gilbert?" He asked. It was a male that I don't even remember giving my number too.

"Why?" I asked.

"I have really terrible news. Your restaurant had just burned down..."

" What!!" I yelped dumbfounded.

"We're still looking for the cause but there's no trace..."

"How could this have happened?" I cried though not waiting for his answer. I jumped out of bed changed my clothes and picked up my son who was so confused and angry that I had woken him up in the morning. I had to see this for myself. I locked the house and started pacing. The restaurant was only a few blocks away and it was a walking distance. As I got closer I could see the thick smoke. My heart starts pulsating, tears were already running down my face. Please Goddess let it not be true. I was nothing without this restaurant. It's everything to me. How would I take care of my son now? I couldn't get a job because not only I didn't have proper education but I never really had any documentation. I was not even in any system because my dad had refused to be my dad. So it was hard for me to get anything since I was practically non-existing.

"Mommy! Mommy crying?" My little baby noticed as I sobbed rushing down the street. He was scared and so I was. He didn't understand why I was crying. I had to bury my little baby in my chest so she could see less of my tears. "Don't worry baby. Mommy is fine." I assured in a broken voice. I continue walking until I could see the place.

It was true. It was no more. Everything was destroyed and even the building it's self. They were all gone only just debris that indicate it was once a restaurant.

"Ohh my Goodness Sam are you okay? I came here as soon as I heard." Lana ran towards me as she saw me standing there in misery.

" How can they be so cruel? How can they do this to me?" I cried and she threw me between her arms.

"I'm so sorry Sam. The police say that one of the gas..." She tried to explain and I shook my head violently.

"No they did this. They did this to us." Even though it's been two years I could never forget the scent of the one who wronged me. I had a wolf now and my senses were stronger. It was one of Alpha Apollo's man and I didn't know which but the scent was damn familiar. And looks like it was deliberate since they didn't even bother to cover it up. They wanted me to know. They were trying to send a message.

How did they find me? How did they find where I lived? What do they even want from me?

"Sam? Look we can build another restaurant. I can use the money I was saving..."

" No Lana there's no use. Don't waste your money on me. You've been saving that money for college and I won't reap your dreams from you. Let me deal with my own life now." I raised my head wiping my tears. I was angry. I was burning hell fire. They have really pushed me to the edge and it took a whole while for me to even recognize it.

"But Sam?"

"I'll be gone early in the morning. Don't bother looking for me. Go to college and graduate. You deserve it. You deserve the best. You're an amazing person Lana and the world needs you more than ever. Now go live your dream."

" What about you? You have dreams too."

" I can't live my dreams until I deal with my nightmares," I replied.

"What about your child Sam? What about Zad?" She cried.

" Don't worry about me and Zad Lana. We're pretty much not safe even here. I have no were to run to. I have no family. I guess I have to accept the hard truth. Unlike me you were given the freedom out of your life. You were given the freedom to live freely without hiding. Me in the other hand. I ran away from my life. I had to live in the shadows. I don't have the freedom I thought I had. But I can't run away forever Lana. I can't hide for the rest of my life and I should have known."

" At least leave the baby with me." She begged with tears in her eyes.

"No Lana. This is my war and I can't let you in on it. If I give you my baby they are going to come for you too. You've helped me more than anyone has ever had. You've showed me there's still good in this world. But I can't let you fight my wars, you have your own demons to fight." I say to her wiping off her tears. "I'll be strong I promise."

"Sam please don't do this," She cried giving me another hug.

" I have to, I have no other choice Lana. They already know where I live now. If it's a fight they want, then it's what I'm going to give them. Goodbye Lana." I sighed and turned around ready to leave.

" Hey Sam! My other dream was seeing you and Azad on my graduation day," she added. I nodded before starting to walk away.

"Miss Gilbert!" One of the officers came running recognizing me. I waved my hand cutting him off before I found myself on the streets home. I was prepared for anything but one thing for sure I was not ever becoming his s*x slave as he had proclaimed. He's taken me once but he can't have me again unless I had no breath in my body.
