A weekend with the Alpha novel Chapter 103

"Thank you so much for visiting," Diya said as she escorted us to my car.

"No need to thank me. I should do more."

"This is enough. You have a life." She told me with an understanding tone.

We got to the car and while Zion opened the door and got in; I turned to her. "I pray all goes well for you, I want you happy and with your baby." I pulled her in for a quick hug.

She waved us off, and I looked forward to visiting again.

Driving home took forty-five minutes. I did the mental calculation of my time. Including traffic jams would make it an hour and thirty minutes before reaching the house.

"Mommy, sleep!" Zion yelled, and I glance back to see his weary eyes.

I strapped him into the back seat and made sure it was comfortable. That way he could easily do that without stressing himself if he wanted to sleep.

"Okay, Zion." I beamed at him, and I knew he'd be asleep in no time. After thirty minutes of driving, the empty fuel tank icon popped up on the front screen and I took the turn to the next fuel station I came across. I got down and fuelled my truck before moving into the station to pay for it. Doing that took three minutes, but since Zion was already asleep, I did not worry. I thank the attendant at the station store before returning to my car.

I slowed down on my steps as I saw a figure lurking around my car. I calmed my raging mind and its many questions and approached my car. The closer I got, the more defined the figure became, and I realised it was a woman. With her face turned away, I couldn't make out anything but her curly brunette hair. I couldn't let my guards down because my son was sleeping in the car which this strange woman was lurking around.

I hurried over to my car and spoke when I got to it. "Can I help you?"

She turned around and her eyes met mine. Green eyes, flawless skin, high cheekbone, and defined jawline.

She looked familiar, but I couldn't place her looks not until she spoke.

"I don't think so. I am Nicole Kent, Luna of the new age pack."

With her introduction, I realised who she was. She was once Aaron's mate, the one he told me had lied to him just to ruin his life and haste the demise which came along with his inevitable fate.

My guards suddenly shut up to a very high degree. If this woman was everything Aaron said she was, she could cause chaos just for the sake of causing it. She would want to hurt Aaron, and what better way of doing that than harming Zion and me?

"Stay away from me and my son."

I walked away from her to the driver's seat, and I pulled the door open. "Say hello to Aaron for me, then. Tell him his Luna is back and sends her regards." She said, and I closed the door.

I drove off at a faster speed than I had ever driven my car and when I got home; I unstrapped Zion and carried him into my arms and took us inside. I laid him in bed and he was still sleeping and so I let him be.

"You stayed out longer than you used to. What happened?" Aaron asked from across the door of Zion's room. My heart doubled in its beat and I turned to him.

He must have seen something in my eyes because his eyes grew concerned and he stepped over to me.

"What's wrong?" he asked, his gaze not wavering as he beheld me.

I bit my lips and tried to look away, but he didn't let me, not until I spoke. "Nicole."
