He couldn't save her. "try me zeek. And Isaiah will see her for the very first and last time" Leo spoke gaining isaiah's concentration. He looked at Aethra who was crying seeing them, "uncle please save her. She's the only one for my aunt in her family " Arson spoke bursting out this time. He can't afford loosing her. "he is right, her mother only have her for calling someone family. Do you know why? Because her husband choose his boss. And left her dieing in a building that blasted." Leo's this statement confused Isaiah and others. He looked him with his narrow eyebrows. "You still didn't get, how idiot you are isaiah. She's your daughter. Isabelle and yours." isaiah's breath hitched, this can't be true. He saw her laying lifeless. "you are lying, you're a lying bastard" said Zeek but Leo again spoke "i'm lying well, let me show you something." he quickly removed his phone from his pocket. He showed them a video of Isabelle tieing up on a chair and Iana too. Zeek and Isaiah was confused as hell they looked at eachother. "why iana is there?" "how is Isabelle alive?"
They asked him and he said if he is not able to make it alive there then their woman. "i don't believe you what if it's forged, you just--" Isaiah spoke but was interrupted by Leo. "why not ask the kids" now they looked at them. Arson and Aethra. Zeek and Isaiah looked at them. Isaiah saw how much she was resembling him and isabelle. But he is not able to trust again. "who is your mother" Leo asked Aethra and she pointed towards Isabelle on the video. Isaiah's breatg hitched. He had so many questions. But on top of all he had one thing in his mind
"am i going to loose them again, just like before. i can't afford loosing her. I can't afford loosing any of them. I won't let anything happen to her " he looked at Aethra and his aching heart torned looking at her site, miserable, crying, her eyes begging for help. He spoke looking at her "it's her, my daughter..... I've a daughter" he eyes filled with tears but someone at his back. "are you going to save her or not?" it was Arson. Zeek was confused and asked "is the boy not his kid" Leo looked at him and said no, it's not isaiah's. It's Iana's. At this moment Zeek's breath hitched. His mind blanked. His heart pinched with the thought of her having family with someone else. But he can't let the boy's life at stake, he quickly told his gaurds to put down the gun and let him go.
Leo ran from there with Aethra. Isaiah looked at zeek "how could you let him go like this " this was the first time he yelled at his Alpha "he took my daughter " he started crying miserably kneeling down on his both knees. Zeek was just standing there, he might not a child and don't know about the father feeling but he understands Isaiah's feelings. Isaiah himself trusts zeek more than himself. He knows that Zeek will save his daughter and wife. But the feeling of meeting his deceased child back and seeing her in danger is something that not everyone other than parents will understand.
Zeek went to Arson, he was just a little boy who was alone and so scared of the situation. He took him in his arm. And looked at isaiah "i trust iana, she might have left as a mob boss. But she was once. She was the queen of the Ace gang, she will handle there but I needed time to attack leo. He have your daughter and our wives." zeek spoke.
"i didn't even met her properly, i don't even know her name" Isaiah who was still crying his heart out on his knees spoke with his trembling and cracking voice.
"Aethra, her name is aethra." Arson spoke catching isaiah's attention. Zeek looked at him still in his arms. "we live together and I promised aunt that I'll take care of her. But I couldn't " I said pouting. "its ok, we will bring her your moms back safely." zeek spoke.
"i want Momma aunt Aethra. I only have them" Arson who was controlling all this time broke miserable. After hearing zeek's soft voice. His voice was comfort for him. Zeek panicked and tried calm him down but failed to do so. Isaiah took him and shush him by hugging him. Saying sweet and comforting words to him. Isaiah is not good with kids too but he was going to have a child so he prepared himself for it. Meanwhile zeek is rough though he do have soft corners for kids but handling them, he never learned. He was always alone, no family. After sometime they went to their car.
The ride was silent, Zeek saw Arson who was in isaiah's arm, sleeping peacefully. He was cute, his cheecks were chubby, he came closer and kissed his face.
Few hours later Arson woke up in a bed, he saw Zeek and Isaiah sitting on the table and asked water, Isaiah came with water and gave him. Arson was gulping the water whereas Isaiah stroked his hair softly. Arson was curious for few things. He was 6 years old but his mind was sharp and his behaviour was mature. He used to call himself as the Man of the family. Funny, but three women and one man. He always says to iana that he would take care her isabelle and Aethra.
Iana chuckled painfully "have you gone nuts?" Isabelle asked "no just arson's memory came in my mind. How he used to say that he's the of the family and will take care of us" Isabelle smiled painful. "as long as Aethra is with him I'm fine"
"thats sort of problem here woman, she's with me" Leo spoke entering the room where he tied them. Iana was drowning by her son's thought. "don't worry, your son is safe and sound with your lover " Leo spoke and iana looked at him confused, her lips opened and only one name came out "Zeek" Isabelle looked at Iana with her narrowed eyebrows, her doubts were correct "ooh and isabelle I'm sorry but I told your husband about you and your daughter " Leo gave the information to isabelle and her eye were widened
"you-- " she stopped, heavily sighed. "Who's your husband?" iana asked her. "ooooo looks like there are so many secrets, and I've the honor to reveal each of them" Leo spoke deviously. They looked at him but then to eachother. Isabelle looked down and sighed "Isaiah" Iana looked her with amused and a bit confused.
