Thane and I returned back to the Nightshade pack. I couldn’t stay at the Raven Clan pack even a bit longer. I couldn’t look into Gabriel’s face and see how shattered he was. Mother had broken his heart, not just his‘ but the whole pack’s, and all she left was a letter. No one deserved that treatment, and yet, there was nothing I could do 

about it. 

“So she ran away with the warlock?” Thane asked. 

“Seem so. I had checked his place; he burnt the whole building to the ground, possibly because he hated the house or maybe…” 

“He wanted to start afresh.” Thane completed. 

“Yes, I can’t trace him; he is gone and maybe… I don’t want to find him. My mother says she would visit to see Ethan, but that could be in months or even years.” 

There was a knock on the door. It was Meredith; she had Ethan in her arms. 

“Your son is well and healthy.” She said before passing him to me. I held him in my hands; he had grown considerably, and he stared at me with big blue eyes, and in that moment I fell in love with the little creature. I might never be able to have another child, but I was grateful that I got Ethan. 

I passed him to Thane, and he had the very same look of awe in his eyes. We were a family; even after everything, we stood together. 

It was late in the night when I rose from bed. I looked to my side, surprised Thane wasn’t in bed. When did he leave? 

I walked to the crib Ethan had been placed in. He was still asleep; I rocked the crib gently, and that’s when I perceived the scent. Delicious, beautiful scent of… blood. 

I hadn’t taken my daily dose of blood, it had skipped my mind. I stared at Ethan. His heart pounded softly, he was full of… life. 

This was wrong, it was so wrong, and yet I wanted a taste. A taste of my own son. I picked him up from his crib, tears streaming down my eyes. I could feel my fangs dig out of my gum and then… 

I awoke with a start, my body drenched in sweat. Thane was awake too; he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into his chest. 

“It’s just a nightmare,” he whispered, but it felt so real. I looked at Ethan’s crib and saw him still there, still asleep. 

It was just a dream I repeated to myself, and yet, I knew it was more than that; it was a warning. 

The End.
