Cassandra POV
*****************

"Are you leaving daddy?" I look at CJ, not knowing what to do. "Daddy stayed with you, why can't you stay with him?" He asked. I didn't know the answer, but I urged for one so bad. Then it occurred to me.

"Where's Calvin?" CJ only sat on the floor playing with his toes.

"I dunno." He put his hands up as he shrugged his shoulders. "He said to make sure you don't worry."

He stopped looking at me, then the ceiling, then the floor, and then found a window. He knows where he is. "Tell me where Calvin is." I demand him.

"I dunno where daddy is." He repeated his same lying pattern, I hope he breaks it as he gets older. The last thing we need is a alpha who can't lie.

I curl my fingers at the knuckles, slowly reaching for my son. His eyes widened once he realized what was going to happen. I grabbed his feet and pulled him towards me. "Tell me where your father is or I'm gonna tickl-"

"I'm here." I turned around and saw Calvin, going in for I hug, something smelled quite familiar.

Preventing myself from causing a scene in front of our son I hugged Calvin as originally planned, kissing his cheek and dragging my lips slowly to his ear. "You were with him." I whispered kind of angry.

I felt him tense a little, letting go quickly but not noticeable. "Hey CJ, you should go watch Spongebob in your room."

"Is mommy mad at you?" He asked being nosey. I kind of glare at CJ. "I'm going, I'm going." He repeated.

Once we heard the door close I finally growled.

"I think you should talk to him, get to know him. He is your mate." I clench my teeth together at the word.

I look around, trying to find a seat. "He ruined everything!" I yell quietly. "We've been married 5 years with a 5 year old son and 3 week unborn baby. We were doing fine!" I grab the nearest pillow and slam my face into it. "I knew we should've went to Dubai." I cried.

"Dubai was not in our budget." He chuckled lowly, probably thinking I was joking.

"This isn't funny, Calvin, do you not remember how hard we fought for each other, to be happy, have our dream come true." I say as I start crying. "It's like you don't want me, and just trying to hand me off to a stranger."

"That's not it, Cass." He said softly as he placed me on his lap, holding me like a baby. "I've been fighting for you since I was twelve, but things won't be the same. You rejecting your mate will hurt, you won't love me the same way anymore. My mate is dead, that's completely different." He sounded sad, but confident as if he was doing the right thing.

"That was almost six years ago, not trying to sound harsh, but this is really different." I sigh.

"If the roles were switch I would want the love of my life to push me towards my destiny." He whined some.

"So if Nadia was still alive you wouldn't be with me?" I sounded hurt, because I was, and defeated.

"Honestly, yes." He dropped his hand from my arm, me missing his soothing caress, leaving me cold and saddened.

"Well if you secretly wish for her to be alive, why are we together? Why are we married? Why do we have CJ? Why not just get a abortion?" I stepped closer, my ear towards him, my cheeks red from me clenching my teeth, my eyes burning trying to hold back the tears in them.
