JoyReadChapter 305 The weekend was a tfor family and friends to ctogether and enjoy a break from their usual routines.
I was getting ready to head out with my kids, their excitement practically radiating from their eyes.
But it wasn't just because of me-it was because they were going to be with their dad, all of us together.
Memories of my own lonely childhood surfaced. I used to wonder what it would feel like to have parents like other kids did. I had often questioned the moon goddess, asking why she had denieda family or why she had taken them away, leavingto navigate life alone.
When Gamma Curtis tookin, I had been overjoyed, thinking I would finally have a normal childhood. But that hope was quickly shattered when he made it clear how he truly saw me. He and his wife, Leah, never treatedas one of their own or tookanywhere with them.
Instead of love and care, they gavea life filled with fear.
"Mommy, are you ready?" Luna's voice pulledfrom my thoughts. I turned to the mirror and saw her standing in the doorway, twirling to show off her black skirt and white top.

I turned to look at him closely.
He was the spitting image of his father. I had once seen pictures of Kane as a child at the pack house, and Leo looked exactly like him at that age.
A perfect replica. I just hoped he wouldn't inherit his father's cold heart.
"Mommy, you look so pretty," Luna said, running up to me.
She wrapped her little arms around my legs and tilted her head back to look atwith wide eyes.
Both of my children were small in size but so full of personality. The way they spoke and carried themselves made them seem far beyond their years.
"Thank you, baby. Mommy's ready. Let's go." Still holding Luna's tiny hand, I reached for Leo's. He clasped mine firmly and guidedout of the room.
As we descended the stairs, I noticed my parents deep in conversation. Their voices quieted the moment they saw us.
"Have fun," my mother said warmly.
"Yes, Grandma," Luna chirped, flashing two tiny fingers in a peace sign.
My father chuckled at her adorable gesture. When I met his gaze, he simply nodded in acknowledgment.

"Mommy, Dad sent our car for us," Leo said matter-of-factly.
I quickly averted my gaze from the vehicle. Their father was incredibly wealthy. I, on the other hand, couldn't even afford my own car to take them places.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuppressing a sigh, I walked toward the car as the driver stepped out, opening the back door for us. Once inside, I gave him the address of the restaurant where I had reserved a table. Without word, he started driving in that direction.
As the car moved, I noticed the driver typing something on his phone with one hand while steering with the other.
After sending the message, he finally put the phone down and placed both hands back on the wheel.
Curious, I glanced at the screen before he locked it. He had sent our location to Kane, his contact saved as Alpha.'
Rolling my eyes, I leaned back against the seat. I had dhed almost m forgotten Kane would be joining us.
Now I was left wondering how to avoid him once we got there. Just as I was lost in thought, my phone rang.
Reaching into my bag, I pulled it out and saw Grayson's nflashing on the screen A small smile tugged at my lips as I answered. "Grayson." "Where are you?" "I'm on my way to the restaurant." I didn't invite him, knowing Kane would be there, but I wanted to be upfront so there wouldn't be any misunderstandings later.
"Got it. I'll meet you there," he said.
I hesitated for a moment, biting my lip. I knew I shouldn't, but I couldn't bring myself to turn him down.
"Sure," I said softly. "How could I possibly say no to you?"
