My Nephew's Dad the Rockstar (Book 3 Steel Wolf Collection)

Chapter 21

Sorry for the delay. Its been a little crazy not to mention the slight writers block. I know where I want the story to go, but the getting there is a little fuzzy. 

Who knew trying to find something to wear would be so difficult. I've never put this much thought into what I was wearing, but I wanted to look nice for Lucan. Every outfit I considered wasn't good enough for a night out with him. After my first paycheck I was going to spurge a little and buy some new close. Especially since I was going to be seen more and more with Steel Wolf.

A loud knocking on the door draws me from my thoughts. "Kitten, Hunter and I are both ready. Just pick something and put it on. I'm sure you will look beautiful in whatever you choose." Lucan says on the other side of the door.

My stomach grumbles reminding I'm hunger and the longer I take the longer till we eat. I settle on a pair of jegging, black tank top with lace, and a long red plaid button shirt. The sleeves roll to my elbows and I only button the shirt till I reach my breasts. Lastly I leave my hair down and slip on my cowboy boots. I only touch up the makeup I'm already wearing.

Once I'm ready I open the door and follow the sound of their voices. The two of them are sitting at the kitchen table deep in conversation. Hunter is the first to notice me. He pushes the chair back from the table and engulfs me in a huge hug.

I return the hug. "What's this all about," I ask him.

"For being the best mommy ever," he exclaims.

"Is that so," I state looking down at him.

"Yep! Daddy was telling me how we are now going to be moving in with him and he was describing the house. I'll get to decorate my room any way I want to." Hunter pulls away from me to run and give Lucan a hug.

"He did? Did he," I ask crossing my arms across my eyes and aiming my question more too Lucan than Hunter.

Lucan leans back in his chair. "Hunter was talking about the two of you moving and how he was going to miss me so I told him the good news," he says with a shrugs as thought sharing this huge news with Hunter was no big deal.

No big deal? News like this was something either I should have told him or us together. "Lucan in the future let me handle life altering changes. I have a better understanding of how to explain delicate situation to him."

Lucan narrows his eyes and stands from his chair. "Last I check Hunter is my son. Not yours."

My steps falter backwards as though I had been slapped. The pain of hearing Lucan refer to Hunter as not my son breaks my heart. I've been raising him his entire life and through the year our relationship has evolved. He was no longer my nephew, but my son. Biologically he isn't, but to us that never meant anything.

When Hunter needed comfort he would always turn to me and when he wanted to celebrate his triumphs I was the first he told. Every time Hunter was sick I was the one to care for him. I've done everything for Hunter except give birth to him. He calls me mom.

Hunter shifts to the side and watches the two of us with wariness in his eyes. I close my eyes for a second and try to put myself in his shoes. Lucan and myself fighting in front of him won't do him any good. But Lucan also never should have said what he did.

I narrow my eyes to combat the tears fighting their way through. "Suddenly my appetite is gone and I'm not feeling so well. I'm going to sit this one out." All the excitement from Hunter's face drains and sadness takes its place. Hurting Hunter kills my heart, but after what Lucan said I can't be around him. If I was to go, I would only ruin the night for Hunter.
