Author’s POV 

(Fifteen years ago) 

“Alpha, are you busy?” Marcus, Alpha Theo’s Beta asked as he walked into his study 

room. 

“What is it?” Alpha Theo asked without raising his head. 

Marcus turned to the little boy who was standing behind him and brought him forward. 

“This is Xander, Amelia’s son,” Marcus introduced, and Alpha Theo’s head snapped up. 

He recognised the name immediately because Amelia was a bartender from the club he often visited whenever he was feeling stressed or just needed to relax. 

He gave Marcus a questioning look before looking back at the boy. He looked exactly like his mother; Weak, thin and probably useless too. 

“What is this about?” He frowned and Marcus cleared his throat. 

“I saw a strange note sometime last week, and I thought it was probably a prank, so I decided to find out who was behind it,” Marcus began to explain but Alpha Theo was impatient. 

“I didn’t have all day, Marcus. Why is this boy in my house? What if she is Amelia’s son? How should that concern me?” He furrowed His eyes in annoyance. 

“I know you are confused, but could you give me a few minutes to explain? I’ll make it fast,” He said and Alpha Theo sent him a glare but waited for him to continue away. 

“When I got there, much to my surprise, the owner of the message turned out to be Amelia.” 

“So?” 

“She was sick and the doctor said she wouldn’t last another week so she called me over to tell me the secret she has been hiding since Marcus explained. 

Alpha Theo could no longer hide his annoyance from how slow Marcus was getting to the point. 

“If you don’t complete this stupid tale in a word, then I do not want to hear it.” He frowned.

Marcus turned to the boy again and sighed. 

“This is Xander, your son. Turns out that Amelia got pregnant with you eight years ago and she hid it because she was just a bartender and…” 

“And what?” Alpha Theo cut him off. “And what, Marcus?!” He snapped, unable to believe that the boy standing in front of him was his son. 

Xander had a pair of shorts and a T–shirt on. His hair was rough and his clothes were dirty as if he hadn’t changed them in a couple of days. 

Sweat was visible on his forehead and armpit which disgusted Alpha Theo even more. 

space and 

If there was anything he hated in his life, it was having poor people in his now, the boy that was no different from a beggar was supposed to be his son. 

“I’m sorry, Alpha. I was going to tell you properly, but Amelia died this morning and he has nowhere else to go,” Marcus gave him an apologetic look and he couldn’t hide his disgust. 

“Be respectful,” Marcus scolded Xander and he stepped forward to greet his father. 

He bowed to greet him and when their eyes met, Xander didn’t miss the disgust in the Alpha’s eyes. 

He was only seven and could not understand what was happening properly, but what he knew was the Alpha didn’t like him and it scared him. 

“How can I take your words for it? Did you run a proper test on him to believe that he is my son?” Alpha Theo looked between Marcus and Xander in disgust. 

“She was a bartender and she is no different from a whore. What if other men sleep with her every time like I did? How could I be sure that this one is mine?” 

“I took him to the family doctor last week, and the test came out today.” Marcus stepped forward to give the Alpha a few files. 

“Those are the proof that he is indeed your son. The doctor confirmed it,” Marcus said and Alpha Theo could no longer hide his disgust. 

He scanned the file in front of him at least a thousand times and squeezed the paper in -his hands before throwing it away. 

“Get him out of my sight.” He grunted. 

Marcus nodded and took Xander out as the Alpha had commanded. He took him to a

room and Xander looked around in awe. 

Marcus ordered a few maids to take care of Xander before leaving to attend to other things. 

The news of the Alpha having another son spread around like wildfire and it soon got to 

Luna too. 

A few minutes later, Luna barged into the room angrily to confirm the news and she couldn’t hold back her anger upon seeing Xander. 

“Everyone, leave the room at once!” She yelled and the maids rushed out nervously. 

“So you are the bastard everyone has been talking about,” she 

at out. 

She looked at him from head to toe and scrunched her nose in disgust, unable to take the smell that was coming from his body. 

“Have you ever heard of bathing? Why do you stink so much?” She hissed as she glared down at the boy. 

Xander looked scared. Being in an unfamiliar place with different people scared him so much and to talk of how everyone was looking at him made him want to cry. 

His mother was the only one she was familiar with and now, she is not by his side to protect him. 

“I can’t believe Alpha could give birth to a trash like you,” she scoffed in disbelief and Xander began to cry from the harsh words.

are just a beggar. If you think coming here would change your life,” the Luna paused to laugh briefly, scaring Xander more before she continued. 

“This is just the beginning for you. You are a stain to this family and I will make your life a living hell. Your whore of a mother slept with my husband, thinking it would change her life, but since she is gone, you will have to suffer the consequences.” 

Xander began to shake fearfully. He was too small to understand what was happening but his stepmother scared him so much that he cried out of fear. 

“I told you not to cry!” She slapped his face as she yelled at him. 

“I can’t believe my son has to share blood with someone like you. I hate you! You should have just died with your mother,” she hissed before storming out of the room angrily.

Xander sat on the floor and cried out. He missed his mother a lot. It has only been a day and he was already in so much pain. 

He spent the night crying before he fell asleep and continuously called his mother in his sleep. 

“Mommy, please come back,” he cried
