Chapter 54
The duo stood In a quiet and secluded corner of the hospital.There, Ethan and Liam shared a heartfelt moment, an unexpected
sight for those accustomed to Ethan’s renowned cold and aloof demeanor. The transformation of this once feared man into a
gentle figure in the presence of a child would have undoubtedly surprised onlookers.
Meanwhile, Hazel meticulously combed through the hospital’s first floor, fervently searching for her usually reserved and
introverted son, Liam, who usually kept to himself. It was a shock to her when he suddenly charged toward Ethan.
Suddenly, Liam and Ethan spotted Hazel, who was still frantically scanning the area in search of her son. Spotting the two of
them, Ethan hoisted Liam in his arms and approached Hazel with an awkward yet warm greeting. “Hey,” Ethan began, while
Hazel, relieved to find her son, scolded Liam for running off.
“Liam. You shouldn’t run off on me like that.” Hazel scolded.
“Sorry mama.” Liam apologized still being clingy on Ethan.
“Why did you run off like that?” She questioned.
Liam didn’t give an answer rather he lay his head back down of Ethan resting his head on Ethan’s shoulder.
“Liam, do you know him?” Hazel asked trailing off slowly. The transparent wall of a hall reflecting their image caught the attention
of Hazel. The sight of Liam being held in Ethan’s arms looked almost natural. Standing there they looked like a family.
“Well, you can say we’re acquainted. Won’t you, buddy?” Ethan asked lightly. Liam. nodded firmly. “Well, here you go.” Ethan
passed Liam back to Hazel, who observed her son’s reluctance and questioning gaze, which soon turned sad.
Hazel understood what was going on. No matter what she couldn’t hide it, Liam was Ethan’s son, the son of an Alpha. Although
Liam couldn’t comprehend it, he felt a certain ease and comfort in the arms of Ethan. Even though he was too little to have a
wolf, something inside of his was drawn to Ethan. Liam was alot smarter and sensitive than other kids his age. She decided not
to pry or ask questions knowing fully well that the two men could not understand why being together was natural to them
“Let’s go, baby,” Hazel whispered, taking Liam from Ethan and placing him on his own feet. “Bye, Liam,” Ethan said with a sad
smile, expressing a desire to spend more time with him. As they walked away, Liam took a few steps forward and then ran back
to give Ethan’s legs a hug. Chuckling, Ethan picked up the child and walked back to Hazel while Liam whispered words into his
ears.
I see you’ve made a friend.” Hazel stated staring at Liam’s head. She couldn’t look

Ethan laughed. “I guess so. This is one special little guy.” He ruffled Liam’s hair while Liam looked up at him with a smile.
“He doesn’t like...” Hazel was about saying when her words died on her l*ps.
Another strange sight, Liam wasn’t mad someone was ruilling his perfect hair. Another strange sight, Liam wasn’t
She was about warning Ethan Liam hated people ruffling his hair but looking at the two, it was clear the boy liked Ethan’s head
rubs. Hazel’s throat felt clogged and choked up.
“Let’s go,” she said, dragging Liam’s small palm. “Would you come to visit tomorrow?” Liam asked, looking up at Ethan. “No!”
Hazel shirked in panic. “Ermm. I mean, Mr. Wild is very busy, and he’s already done so much with helping Daisy. He won’t have
time for a visit tomorrow,” she rushed out. Liam’s face fell.
“Thank you so much, Mr. Wild. And I’m sorry for the inconveniences, Hazel muttered with a sigh. Liam pouted sadly, looking at
the two adults. “Actually, tomorrow’s a weekend. I’ll make sure to come, Ethan said, smiling down at Liam. The little boy’s face lit
up instantly. “Really?” He asked happily. “Yes. Then maybe you can show me some of your other paintings you mentioned the
other time?” Ethan asked, pleadingly. “Yes!” Liam said, nodding more eagerly this time. Paintings? Hazel stared at her son. Liam
was sensitive about them, drawing and hiding them. But he was willing to share them with Ethan, whom he had just met? Blood
was indeed stronger. She mumbled to herself with a sigh. “Come on. Let’s go; Daisy would be waiting.” Hazel said, pulling a
happier Liam away.
“Bye,” Liam waved happily. “See you tomorrow!” Liam squealed, walking while being tugged by his mother.
Ethan smiled wider. When Liam and Hazel went out of sight, his smile died at the realization that suddenly hit him; he loved
those kids. And he would kill for them. Nothing else mattered, not even their biological father. Settling in his car, he wondered in
a daze, love indeed does transfer. The love he once had for Hazel while being married to her had passed on to her children.
As Axel pulled into the driveway of his old house, cradling the dog, he accessed the security code to enter. Once inside, he
settled his canine companion, meticulously packing the last remnants of his belongings. He felt relieved to be finally leaving. He
had never actually fit into pack dynamic. Being only part werewolf, he didn’t have a wolf neither could he shift. He’s practically
human but with some abilities. Now he wanted to separate himself completely from such lifestyle living as a human even though
he would still work with an Alpha. Amidst the flurry of moving, a long–awaited notification buzzed on his phone–the details of the
security camera in his new apartment. Intrigued by the bizarre encounter with the mysterious woman who had somehow found
her way

into his living space, he wanted to discover how and why she had gotten there in the first place.
His Previous attempts to review the videos had been thwarted by inadequate setup, but now, armed with the complete details, he
could check the recorded scene of the security cameras.
A voice crackled over the phone as the foreman of his renovation project informed him, “The woman lives next door. She wasn’t
drunk either.”
Still, Axel was curious. He wanted to see for himself the peculiar actions of the woman in his apartment. He yearned to
comprehend her motives, assess if any of his possessions had been mishandled, so he could have them replaced and ascertain
the extent of her weirdnesses. As the high–quality video unfolded, Axel studied the screen intently, observing the woman’s every
move.
Her eyes had surveyed his apartment, revealing a mix of admiration and fascination. Then the moment she had stepped farther
to close the balcony slides and had gotten locked inside. She looked like an entrapped bunny. The image of her being bored was
even more hilarious. She talks to herself alot he observed. She had spent over thirty minutes groaning and scolding herself for
not minding her own business.
Axel chuckled lightly. Then she had gotten enraptured with the lights settings. Her excitement innocent and almost childlike. Her
smile and laughter as the serenes changed. Then the star and moon image’s which she had settled on. ‘she loves moonlight as
well. Axel silently noted.
Contrary to Axel’s expectations, the woman’s actions appeared relatively normal. Her impulsive and erratic behavior from the
previous night seemed to vanish. Axel found himself contemplating. “Maybe she isn’t as bad or weird as I thought.” A tinge of
sympathy arose as he realized she had genuinely believed his door was left open, only to find herself accidentally trapped. As
the video concluded, a prompt appeared: “Would you like to delete to create more space?” Since no suspicious activities were
found to create space for more recording. With a sigh, he pressed the save option to save the video instead.
She lived right next door. Anyway he could tell, she was like him. He could confirm she was part werewolf without any ability like
himself who was part werewolf with only heightened sense of smell.
Ethan arrived home that evening, brimming with joy. His upbeat mood. manifested in his lively ascent up the stairs, punctuated
by occasional whistles. Bella, might have noticed these changes, but she was engrossed in her own concerns. What her brother
told her that day left her unsettled. Someone had witnessed that event from years ago. The mere thought of its revelation
threatened to shatter her life. Anxious, she bit her l*ps nervously. Even her brother, unwilling to disclose the suspected witness’s
identity. He couldn’t even recall who he had been that night. Bella spent the night pondering, desperately

While Ethan peacefully slept, eagerly anticipating the next day to reunite with Liam and Daisy. Bella lay there unsettled and
anxious.
