THE LAST WHITE WOLF: THE QUEEN SERIES Under Editing

Chapter 32 - The Past

"I think Romania should be up by now", Grey said as they all kept waiting for the good news in the living room.

"Don't be so impatient love", Gabriella placed her hand on top of Grey's hand with an assuring look in her eyes.

It wasn't like she wasn't worried. She was. It wasn't just about Romania's heat anymore.

It was also about her son, her only child, and he was mated to Romania. It smelt bad for her, really bad.

Knowing Jasper, he'd do anything to ensure Romania's safety, even the unthinkable. As her brother, she knew he loved her and would have protected her anyway.

But then, there would have been an obstacle between them. Jasper's mate, and he wouldn't have time to play superhero.

But now their fates were entwined together and it was their duty to protect each other.

And that was the truth she couldn't accept, the truth she didn't want to accept. She feared for Jasper's life.

She was a mother, a mother just looking out for her child. She raised Romania like her very own child. Loved her, protected her, and even worried about her the most.

But the love she had for Jasper would never be the same. And it felt somehow wrong.

If she really considered Romania her daughter, why couldn't she simply love them the same?, She thought.

"Are you okay Gabby?", Grey asked after sensing that his mate was a little bit absent.

"Huh?"
"Yh", she nodded profusely.

"Gabby", he caught on to her lie.

"I'm just surprised that they're mates that's all", Gabriella smiled awkwardly.

"Yeah I know, that's great right?", Grey asked and he wasn't even expecting an answer.

Gabriella didn't reply either. What was she going to even say?

Bright morning sunlight started to seep into the living room through the windows.

"Beautiful", Gaia admitted.

She had forgotten how beautiful the sunrise even was in just a matter of days.

"Romania", Gaia gasped once it dawned on her.

"She might be up Grey", the old woman added.

And just like that, they were all rushing to Romania's room. They didn't look even a tad bit tired.

After all, they were all creatures of the night. And so staying up for a whole night wouldn't affect them in any way.

Grey was the first to rush inside. A big smile spread on his lips as he came face to face with his daughter.

"Munchkin", he cooed.

Romania stood right infront of her bed, arms crossed on her chest. Her eyes grew big as she recognized her father.

She just felt so ashamed of herself. An Alpha's female child was more than just pretty. She was like a Luna before the soon-to-be Alpha found her mate.

But she on the other hand, did nothing good with her life, like ever. The tears blurred her vision as she staggered back.

She turned, her back facing the man as she held on tight to the bed post, her hands shaking a little bit due to the fright.

She was so afraid.

"Rome?", Grey called his daughter.

He saw her grip the post even tighter than before.

"Come to your father Rome", Grey spread his arms wide.
