Claimed

“She looks happy.” Killian stated when he saw how Jasmine was smiling in her sleep, she mumbled something about fish and this brought smile on his lips. He felt his heart was so warm with the sight of his daughter and his mate.

This was what he wanted. This was the life that he wanted for him and his little one. The family that he always dreamed of.

Althea didn’t say anything about that, she simply held Jasmine closely to her chest, she rearranged the blanket that wrapped around her little body, so she wouldn’t get cold

“She is beautiful” Killian couldn’t have enough to see the sight of his baby girl. He regretted that he was not there in the earlier life of hers, but now, he wouldn’t make the same mistake again. He would always be there for her in every step of the way. She was his daughter, his one and only.

Althea didn’t say anything, she kept her eyes on her baby’s sleeping face or the sight outside.

It brought a lot of memories to her, because they were so close to the pack house now and the area around here was so familiar with her. She used to play in the wood and she would run in her beast form when she was younger.

No one was there in her first shift because Willow was sick, she claimed that her stomach was hurt, but even a healer couldn’t tell why she was in so much pain when she checked on her and she was fine.

Now, Althea could say for sure that she faked it.

Althea remembered how much she was in pain and confused because she was left alone during her first transition and she went to the wood when she finally shifted into her beast.

That

I was one of the awful memories that she didn’t want to recall.

“We are here.” Killian said, pulling Althea out of her reverie.

She blinked her eyes and realized the carriage had stopped in front of the pack house. The house that was the beginning of her nightmare. The house that trapped her and where she was being tortured by him.

Suddenly, Althea felt her heart stopped beating, she was suffocated, as if all the air was sucked out of her lungs, she clutched her chest and she blinked her eyes, she didn’t even realize that she started crying and this motion woke Jasmine up.

“Momma? Momma?” Jasmine tugged her hand when she saw her mother was in pain, Killian immediately approached Althea and then took Jasmine away from her.

However, this movement only made Althea became more panic, she shook her head and tried to get her daughter back.

“Calm down, Althea, I will not separate the two of you. I will only take her down from the carriage!” Killian gave baby Jasmine to Ronan, but she fought the warrior, as she clawed his face, but thankfully, she didn’t have any claws yet.

“No.” Althea whimpered, her panic hit her like a storm, she felt very overwhelmed with a lot of emotions that she couldn’t even decipher. “No my baby”

“Come here, I will help you to get down.” Killian said.

Abigail and Brian immediately got off the carriage when they heard how pitiful Jasmine was crying, they were confused about what had happened.

“Momma, momma!”

“What happened” Brian immediately took Jasmine from Ronan’s arms and then watched Killian carried Althea in his arms. She was uncontespus.

Chapter S1

Sean was there too, inchiding his beta and gamma. They were there to greet the alpha, because thi after more than a year he left the pack. The pack was fine, but it didn’t look good on Killian for him to leave their pack

was the first he returned unattended for that long.

“What happened?” Sean immediately came to Killian and saw Althea for the first time, there was not much that had changed from her, but she looked… better than when she was here.

Killian didn’t say anything, he didn’t answer their question and immediately strode off inside the house with Althea in his

arms.

He put her down in his bedroom. He knew why she was like this, the trauma had been triggered and she was too overwhelmed and tired to handle it.

However, Killian couldn’t let her live outside of the pack house, he couldn’t let her stay away from her, especially when it meant, he had to be away from his little girl too.

“Momma…” Jasmine crawled on her bed and kissed her mother’s cheek in hope it would wake her up.

“Call the healer,” Killian said with urgency, but thankfully, Sean was very thoughtful, she had called for the healer when she saw Althea fell unconscious.

Thus a few second later, she returned with the healer of the pack and she immediately

checked on her.

“How is she?” Killian asked, he gritted his teeth, as he picked Jasmine up and hugged her to calm the baby down. “It’s okay, momma is okay. She is only tired”

Jasmine wiped her tears and then went silent, though tears kept streaming down her chubby cheeks. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

After a few moment, the healer told the alpha that Althea was fine, but her condition was not really good, she needed a lot of rest, it was a long journey after all, more so, her mind and heart had been in a lot of turmoil recently, thus it could be the source of her problem.

Killian nodded and after the healer said that she would make the concoction for Althea, all of them left with her as well, leaving the three of them alone.

“You hear her too, right?” Killian said to Jasmine. “Your mother is only tired, there are a lot of things that she has in her mind, so you can’t add more, okay?”

Jasmine is a good girl.” Jasmine pursed her lips and Killian wiped her tears.

“You can’t ask about your dada again, okay?”

“Why?”
