His voice, tinged with hope, murmured, âMommy, will you stay with us?â
Ivyâs plea followed.
âDarling, stay.
We havenât remember anything after staying in the witch clan.
Familiarity may just bring back whatâs lost.
â
Caleb observed me silently, his gaze patient, offering space for my decision.
âWonât you stay, Mommy?â Dylan shook my hand and acted like a spoiled child.
The decision weighed on me, but I had ensured Abbyâs care within the nanny, allowing me to yield to the tug at my heartstrings.
âIâll remain here for the time being,â I conceded.
Calebâs response was even-keeled.
âIâll show you to our home.
â
Turning to Carlos and the rest, he dismissed them.
âThe night has grown deep.
Return to your homes.

âGreat!â
Dylanâs cheer was infectious as he celebrated the decision.
I trailed behind Caleb, an unfamiliar nervous flutter in my stomach.
As we arrived at the villa, opulence greeted us, leaving me agape.
âWas this splendor really once my home?â I asked.
I always thought that Andrewâs place was luxurious enough, but I didnât expect that I used to live in a better place.
âIndeed, Iâm the Alpha of the Thorn Edge Pack, and youâre their Luna, my mate.
Residing in a grand villa comes with the territory,â Caleb explained.
âAlpha? Luna?â
The titles struck me, leaving my eyes wide in astonishment.
While I was aware of Calebâs notable presence, the true extent of his status had never fully dawned on me.
âThatâs awesome!â Ivy, awed, couldnât hide her admiration.
âIt makes perfect sense.
Heâs the Alpha.
â
A smile, all too rare, graced Calebâs face upon seeing my reaction.
Dylanâs enthusiasm was infectious as he ushered me into the villa.
âMom, this is our home.
Isnât it breathtaking?â
The splendor of the chandeliers and the elegance of the murals did indeed evoke a sense of luxury.
I found myself nodding, a sense of deja vu enveloping me as I took in the surroundings.
