couldn’t be thinking about that right now. I was supposed to hate Kaiden. Besides his confession meant nothing, it didn’t change anything.

“Stop giving me bad advice, Gia” snapped as I continued thinking of ways to make Kaiden attend the ceremony. “Suit yourself then” she grumbled and left me alone.

The teacher had made it mandatory that Cisco’s father must attend, there was no way I could avoid it.

Cisco was already very happy that he was chosen among the successful candidates, I couldn’t withdraw that right I knew he clearly deserved.

But I couldn’t ask Kaiden either. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Frustrated, I let out a loud groan as I walked to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee and returned to the living room as I plopped down on the couch and rubbed my temples slowly.

I had to think of something quickly. Could I hire someone to act as Cisco’s father? No, it would be obvious and I probably won’t find anyone on such short notice.

No werewolf would want to act on my behalf,not to mention humans, they were barely allowed in the pack territory.

‘Cole? No, I couldn’t ask that of Cole,it would be too much. That would mean me taking advantage of his kindness and I didn’t want any weird rumors to start going around. I already had enough on my plate. I wasn’t willing to add more to it.

‘So why did the teacher have to make it compulsory that the two parents must attend. What if a kid didn’t have parents?’

I groaned, I was being ridiculous but why did things have to be so difficult. The last few days had been stringed with bad luck.

It was always from one problem to another, each one more complex than the last.

If only everything was okay. If only Kaiden accepted me, we would have been living a happy, peaceful life.

He didn’t accept me then, he wouldn’t accept me now so there was no way I could make him attend the ceremony.

“Freda” Lyra called, disrupting me from my thoughts as I quickly sat up straight on the couch.

“What’s wrong, you look distressed?” She asked and I sighed. “That’s because I’m confused” I stated. “I don’t know what to do anymore” I stated with teary eyes.

Lyra upon seeing my reaction rushed to join me on the couch. “Talk to me, Freda, what happened?”

Sniffling back my tears I started to speak. “It’s the award. ceremony. The teacher said Cisco would be removed from the list of awardees if his two parents don’t show up for the ceremony”.

“How can I invite Kaiden?, he obviously won’t show up especially with Safiya around but I don’t want Cisco to be disqualified either”.

“What do I do Lyra? Why does everything have to be so difficult for me? I’m tired,” I stated as the reality of things dawned on

me.

Lyra hugged me as she rubbed my shoulders in a comforting manner. “Don’t fret, we would figure it out”. She stated and I looked up at her.

“How?”, I sniffed. “We can talk to Kaiden together, we should be able to convince him”. Lyra suggested.

“Do you think he’ll accept? Lyra, I know Kaiden, he’ll never accept because he knows I despise him and he despises me too” I stated

“Well I don’t think so. As much as I hate to admit, I’ve seen the way he looks at you Freda. The man is clearly trying to get into your good books”.

“If that’s not enough to convince you, the declaration he made at the pack council is enough evidence, not that I support you two coming back together, I’m just stating the facts” she said as she sighed.

“You think so?”, I asked doubtfully. “Well, even if it’s not true, I think he would do it for Cisco, at least he would want to fulfill his fatherly duties to him”, Lyra disclosed and I saw the reason for what she said.

“You’re right! I could use that to my advantage”, I said as I wiped the tears away from my face. “The thing is how do we go about it?”.

“Simple, you’ll just send the invitation letter to his office then you can call him later. That’s more formal, that way he’ll know there’s no emotion attached to it, just formality”. Lyra stated and I nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, we can do that. Thank you Lyra I don’t know what I’d 1

have done without you” I said with a voice filled with emotion. Lyra would always be there for me no matter the situation.

“Oh come on now, don’t shed any more tears, it’s making me uncomfortable”, she joked and we laughed.

“Let’s send it quickly,” she said and I nodded. We drafted up the invitation letter in a professional manner and sent it to Kaiden’s office and I silently prayed to the goddess that he would acknowledge it.
