Page 74 of His Sunshine Baby

“No, baby bear. That dirtbag will definitely come after Elena. It’s already a miracle that he respected his five-year ban, trust me.”

“You don’t want to tell Boyan about the baby?”

“Hell no, Danny.”

“Got it.”

I don’t want to talk about it to anyone, at all. Even within our pack, very few people know exactly what happened back then. Aside from my parents, Daniel’s family, Reagan, Clark, and my uncle, we didn’t let anyone know. I am not even sure if Isabella or my cousins know about it. It’s such a sensitive topic, everyone was relieved when it was settled.

Moreover, I didn’t want people to pity me. I just wanted to get better and move on. I could hate Diego all I wanted and regain my freedom.

“I still think it might not be a good idea.”sighs Bobo.

“Why?”

“I think Damian knows about you.”

Daniel and I freeze. Damian? Does he mean the King, for real? How would he know? Nate told me he didn’t talk to his siblings about me! He only told his Beta, and only because the guy was the nosy type! So how the hell would his older brother know I even exist? I exchange a glance with Daniel.

“Is that bad?” asks Danny.

“Not really. But my older brother is the King’s Beta. He’s the one who told me that Nate was seeing someone and he had to look into it. I never thought it would turn out to be you,” he says with an apologetic face.

“He didn’t say anything,” I sigh.

Nate was long gone when we got home last night. It feels a bit odd to think about everything that happened yesterday, all in one day. There’s still the cold pizza in the fridge, and some leftover ingredients.

Daniel clicks his tongue. I guess going to the Velvet Moon territory is out of the question now. I don’t feel too good about it, either. Being on the King’s radar is never a good thing; I’m starting to get a bit worried. I peek at my phone. Should I call him later? I was a bit mean when I threw him out last night.

“Don’t you have anyone else who could help out? I thought you were close with the Alpha?” asks Bobo.

I shake my head.

“Clark is my godfather, but the Opal Moon is part of the White Moon. He can’t hide me, and he can’t really interfere either. If he wanted to, he should have done it earlier. That’s why Reagan was so mad.”

“Maybe you should leave with Reagan.”

I glare at Danny.

“Seriously, Danny? I should run away from my territory because that asshole is coming back? No fucking way.”

“There isn’t a big difference.”

“He should be the one to leave in the first place!” I growl, annoyed.

“I know that, babe, but I’m not taking any chances of having you near him. We’re running out of ideas here. We can’t keep him out and we can’t find a place for you to stay! Once his ban is lifted, there will be no place that you can go where Diego can’t go either!”

Damn it. I know Danny’s right, but it’s painful to hear.

“Is it that bad?” asks Bobo.

“Yes, it is that bad, Boyan. If my ex comes back, I’m going to be in big trouble, trust me. He won’t leave me alone. So, I have two weeks to find a solution, or else I’m going to do something I’ll regret.”

With that, I get up and head to the shower. I’m so mad I don’t even know what to do. I tried to exhaust myself with training this morning, but I only managed to scare the younger ones, while I didn’t even calm down one bit.

I pick a new outfit from my wardrobe, something boyish and practical, and go back to the kitchen. Danny just finished preparing breakfast, and I grab a burrito for myself. He clicks histongue at my lack of manners as I walk past the counter with my mouth full to grab my shoes.

“Where are you going?” he asks.
