He knocked. The door opened almost right away.
Mr. Clark smiled as soon as he saw me. “Oh Liana. You’re here for Ryan? He’s asleep already.’
Then his eyes moved to Killian. His face lit up.
“Ah-you must be Ryan’s dad,” he said with a smile. “He looks just like you.”
I froze.
My mouth opened to say something, anything, but Killian beat me to it.
“Yes,” he said calmly. “I’m here to pick him up.”
I wanted to vanish.
Mrs. Clark came to the door, then Rosa. all of them were smiling like this was normal.
“Oh wow,” Mrs. Clark laughed, eyeing Killian. “You never told us your man was this fine, Li!”
I forced the fakest smile I could manage.
“He served in the military right?” she added. “Rosa said he was away. When did he come back?”
Killian glanced at me but answered smoothly. “Not long ago. Just got back.”
My mouth went dry. This couldn’t be real.
Then Mr. Clark left and came back holding Ryan
He was fast asleep in his little pajamas, breathing softly and looking so peaceful.
Killian stepped forward and took him into his arms like it was the most natural thing in the world. Like he belonged there.
My chest tightened I couldn’t look away.
Mrs Clark smiled “You guys should come in for tea. Just a quick one.”
Killian shook his head, polite but firm “Thanks, but we have a flight. Need to take my family home.”
Family.
The word hit me so hard I could barely stand.
“Oh of course!” Mrs. Clark said, then hugged me. “You never said he was this handsome,” she teased.
I gave her another fake smile and hugged her back, barely holding in my tears.
“Take care, dear,” she said before waving us off.
I followed Killian to the car, quite numb. He gently buckled Ryan in the back like he hadn’t just yelled at me minutes ago.
I got in beside him. He started the car without a word.
I stared at him. My heart was racing.
Ryan slept peacefully behind us, unaware of the storm his parents were about to face.
Everything I had spent seven years hiding just fell apart in a single night.
LIANA’S POV
I didn’t know what to expect when Killian kept driving without saying a word. His jaw was tight, his eyes locked on the road like nothing else mattered. But I definitely wasn’t expecting this.
A mansion.
No, not just a mansion, a palace pretending to be a home. The tall iron gates opened the second he pulled up. The driveway stretched so long it felt as if we were entering another world. at the end of it stood a house so big and beautiful it looked like something from a dream or maybe a nightmare.
Killian drove straight into the garage. He didn’t say a thing or even glance at me. He just got out, went to the back seat, and picked Ryan up gently as if he was holding something precious.
I sat there frozen, watching him like I didn’t belong here. Because honestly, I didn’t.
Just then, a butler appeared from nowhere and bowed deeply.
“Alpha,” the man said respectfully.
Alpha?
Killian didn’t even pause. “Get the stuff from the trunk and bring it inside.”
I opened my mouth to speak, to remind him those things weren’t his but nothing came out. The butler off to do exactly what Killian said as if it was normal. was already rushing
Killian was already inside, still holding Ryan close to his chest. When I hurried after him, I tried not to look like massive swallowed by the size of the house. But it was impossible. The place was massive.
The front doors opened before we reached them. a woman came out fast. She was older, elegant, graceful me feel quite small. She smiled warmly and bowed.
“Welcome back, alpha.”
There it was again. Alpha.
Killian nodded. “Is it ready?” in was getting
“Yes, alpha,” she replied right away. “The little heir’s room has been prepared exactly how you wanted. Everything’s suited for a young boy.”
I froze. Little heir? Young boy? She meant Ryan?
Then she looked at me. Her smile still kind. She bowed again.
“Welcome, Luna.”
Luna
I didn’t know what it meant, not exactly. But her tone made my stomach twist. Still, I bowed slightly back to be polite.
“I’m Omega Agnes,” she said softly.
Omega? Alpha? Luna? I didn’t understand any of it.
