Page 217 of His Sunshine Baby

“She was banned five years ago.”

“You mean before she left? Why would they ban Elena? Isn’t her godfather your Alpha?”

He hesitates, looking a bit embarrassed. That’s when I realize. I get up and grab his collar, furious.

“Because of Estelle? You bastards kicked her out because she was having my child?!”

“Nathaniel!” growls Damian.

My brother intervenes to get me off Levi, but I’m so angry, I just keep growling at him. He shakes his head.

“First of all, I am not our Alpha or our elders, we didn’t have any say in this. And there were… circumstances, okay?”

“I don’t care about your circumstances! You tell Clark that next time I see him, I’ll–”

“Nathaniel, enough!”

This time, I can’t disobey Damian. His Alpha Aura is suppressing mine. Fuck! I can’t believe the White Moon banished a pregnant woman because of her relationship withme! I know it wasn’t the best for us to be together back then, but still!

Damian insists on having me sit back down, where Levi is out of reach.

“Enough. First, let’s focus on Elena and Estelle; we’ll deal with Clark later. They will stay with our pack for now.”

This time, Damian’s glare is on that guy, meaning there is no arguing on this. Or maybe he’s a bit pissed at the White Moon too. Even though the borders within Silver City are long forgotten and the packs’ relationships have drastically improved, there are some things that won’t be forgiven just like that.

Like a clan kicking his niece’s mother out.

“Thanks. I know Daniel can freely go to your territory, so--”

“Anyone can come to our territory,” says Damian. “If Elena’s friends want to see her, they can.”

Levi nods, looking a bit thankful. I don’t feel sorry for them. If they hadn’t banished her, I would have been able to see my daughter as soon as she was born. They--

“Daddy!”

I turn around. Estelle is already back, running to me with a Starbucks cup in her hand. She stands face-to-face with me as I’m still sitting, showing me her cup.

“Daddy, look. Auntie Nora bought me this, and the lady made it with the coffee machine, and she put whipped cream on it.”

I can’t help but smile while she tells me all this. She’s so excited by a mere cup of hot chocolate, she looks better than when she was worried about her mom.

“She wanted to come back as soon as possible,” says Nora. “She was afraid her dad would be gone.”

I frown. Estelle was scared I’d leave? Why is she so insecure when she has only just met me? Behind her, Daniel is glaring atme with his arms crossed, but he doesn’t dare say anything in front of Estelle.

“Daddy, do you want some? Auntie Nora, can I share?”

“Of course, honey.”

“I’m fine, Estelle. You can drink it.”

She nods and drinks a bit.

It’s strange how curious I am about every one of her movements. I’m literally fascinated by my daughter. I turn to Nora, thinking about her own child.

“Where is James?”

“We left him with William,” explains Nora.
