Chapter 41 The past

(The past)

Flake's POV

Seeing him again brought back painful memories, I was afraid that he'll get to know that Gray was his son and I never wanted that, after what he did to me, he doesn't deserve to be called a father and I'll do everything in my power to ensure that, after he turned me to a whore, I started doing the dirty job just to provide for Gray, but I'm really thankful to Laila, in just a week and she changed I and my son's life. I now work as a chef at Moonlight restaurant where they pay me hugely and handsomely

Yet I was mad at her, she didn't tell me she was a werewolf, that Werewolves existed... Yeah I know my son's one but I still couldn't believe they exist, I thought it was just a fantasy or myth but it's real and the worst part is my best friend is one of them.

"Mum, you're so angry, can you calm down?" Gray asked and I nodded

"I'm sorry, somethings just soiled my good mood, hope you ate well?" I asked and he just sighed, I took that as a yes then, I know how he behaves already and it wasn't new to me.

We entered the public transport and head home. I payed the driver and was about to enter my house when I saw kitu, he's one of my customers from Japan.

"Hey there sexy." He stated and I sighed, I don't need them anymore

"I'm not longer into that business, you can ask the other girls, I'm changed now." I said and he smiled

"I can come inside right?" He asked and I heard Gray growled, I smiled at how overprotective he was.

"It's okay Gray, he's just a friend." I assured him and he creased his brow

"I don't like him." He stated as I shushed him and smiled at Kitu.

"It's Okay, I understand." Kitu said. I opened the door as he entered, I prepared dinner and he ate with us, Kitu was funny and friendly, too bad Gray doesn't like him.

"Umm.. Flake, can I talk to you in private?" Kitu asked

"No." Gray demanded as I gasped

"Gray... That's rude, leave now." I ordered and he hesitantly left.

"I just... Wanted to ask you for something," kitu said and I arched my brow in confusion

"What is it kitu?" I asked and he let out a huge breath and gave me a cake

"Wow... Really?" I said as I collected it

"Thank you..." I said as I shared the cake, it's the expensive chocolate cake... I kept some part for Gray and ate the cake, I ate something strong and I pulled it out to see a ring, a beautiful ring. I gasped.

"Will you marry me Flake? I love you, I'm interested in you, since the very first day I set my eyes on you, I knew you were the one, you were made for me and I promise to take good care of you and Gray and become a good father to Gray, I promise." He said on his knees and I shook my head. I admire Kitu, he's a wealthy and prosperous athlete, but I just can't bring myself to accept him, I think I'm still in love with Clinton and I'm sure of it.

"I'm sorry I can't accept it, I'm in love with Gray's father and I know that one day he'll come for us, I'm sorry kitu." I said and he stood up angrily

"Okay, if you say so then you will have it the hard way." Kitu said and angrily plodded towards me.

"Stay away from me kitu," i warned he smiled and grabbed me from my hair.

"Let go! Gray!" I screamed as the door burst open and Gray in his wolf form bit kitu and scratched him. Kitu became terrified and screamed for help. I pleaded with Gray not to kill him, tears flowing from my eyes.

"Please leave him Gray," I pleaded as he whimpered and ran to me licking my tears, he then curled up in my arms and turned to his human form. I smoothened his hair with my palms while he sobbed

"I'm sorry mum." He said as I pecked him and shook my head.

"No honey, mummy is proud of you, it's my fault I didn't listened to you." I said as I watched kitu in his pool of blood.

"Let's take him to the hospital." I said and he nodded.

Clinton's POV

I looked at the picture again as I lifted my cigarette to my lips, all memories of that day, that particular day that kept haunting me

FLASHBACK

"Hello... I'm here," I heard her deep alto voice and I opened the door, there she was, looking as beautiful as ever, she was putting on a half top and a short, she looked gorgeous... I didn't want her to come, not until I've had control over jeff who seem to want her badly, ever since he discovered she was our mate, it's been a month now and I hardly speak to her, I was the basketball captain and I had a good reputation, i wanted to be a strong soilder who can lead an army and I'm also the college's best boxer. I stared at her, every girl seems to be falling at my feet yet, I can't seem to get one particular girl. I watched her as she bit her lower lip making Jeff go crazy. I borrowed her notebook to lure her here, I wanted to know more about her and tell her about my intentions towards her, she's mine and I can't help seeing her everyday with different guys, some guys love her guts and curves and were after her

"Hello flake, come in." I said and she entered admiring my home.

"Your place's beautiful.." She complimented and I smiled

"Thanks, this is one of my father's buildings so he handed it to me." I said as I poured her a drink.

"No, I'm okay, I just need my book and I will be leaving..." She said and I was already feeling hot. I was in heat and it's not helping with my mate here

"No, you can keep me company, can you help me in the kitchen?" I asked and she nodded

"Lead the way then.." She stated and I had a winsome smile on my face. She cooked a delicious meal of pasta and chicken sauce with creamy salad.

We discussed for a long time and I lured her to my room asking her to teach me a mathematical problem. She was intelligent, but the condition got absurd with me staring at her constantly and she felt uncomfortable, I was not understanding a thing and my fingers brushed her exposed laps

"You're beautiful, I've always admired you since I set my eyes on you but I felt coy to approach you." I said and I noticed the reaction I was getting from her as I switched position, that I was on top of her.

"Clint, I came here for my note that's all." I sensed the fear in her as I frowned and brushed her neck with my pointed nose. I kissed her passionately and she wanted to escape but my body control me and tore her clothes

"Clint!" She screamed with fear as Jeff growled at her and she flinched, I tried stopping him but he took control as he half transformed, kissing her passionately and sucking her olive skinned breast, he fingered her and she pushed him with all her strength and headed for the door, but he pulled her back to the bed with a full force

"No Clint stop, please don't do this to me," she pleaded but Jeff entered her without a warning and when he noticed she was a virgin, he was full of lust as he banged on her while she moaned and screamed...

*******END OF FLASHBACK*******

Those memories kept haunting me even till this moment. I was a General of the American Army, yet I was afraid of one thing....
