Chapter Six
Sterling
I sit down on one of the chairs. Weâre in a cafe close to the courthouse.
Today will be the first hearing about Maddy and weâll finally see her for the first time in almost a week. I canât believe how long itâs taken. A week.
A week without my girl, without any contact. Next to me, Wilder is holding my hand tightly and opposite us are Lilly and Sarah. They picked us up from home, they didnât want to let us drive here. Which was probably a good idea. I donât think that driving will be possible right now.
Wilderâs parents will arrive soon, and so will mine, hopefully. Weâre all here today, all hoping that everything will turn out well, but I have no faith in that. None at all.
If it had been easy, Loganâs parents wouldnât have been able to get custody over Maddy in the first place. That wouldnât have been possible. But it still happened. They were still able to. So now⦠now we have to fight them. Prove that she belongs with us.
My parents open the door to the cafe, quickly spotting us and coming over. My first instinct is to let go of Wilder, but I know thatâs no use. I know that that wonât solve anything and his closeness is whatâs keeping me together for now. This is the only way we can do this.
âSterling.â Dad comes over, opening his arms for a hug.
I give him a quick hug, then also hug Mum. âThank you for coming.â The look in Mumâs eyes tells me that she saw the way I was holding onto Wilder and she doesnât know what to think of it.
Well, I donât care right now. I donât care what she thinks of it. None. I need Wilder at my side, heâs my mate and thatâs how Iâll be.
Before we even sit down, Wilderâs parents also arrive and they hug us both. Wilderâs Mum hands me a small box. âDonât open this until everything is over, okay?â
She looks at me and just the kindness in her eyes makes tears well up in mine. âHush. Donât cry. Weâre all here for you. Weâre not letting them get away with this.â
Then she turns to my parents. âYou must be Sterlingâs Alpha and Omega. How nice to meet you.â She hugs them both, then she gives a hug to Lilly and Sarah. âSo, I guess this is everyone?â
Wilder nods next to me. âYeah.â Weâre meeting our lawyer at the courthouse itself.
âGood. Remember that youâre not alone. Weâre here with you and weâre going to fight.â Wilderâs Mum is definitely a force to be reckoned with.
She may be a Beta, but I can see where Wilder got his passion and his protectiveness from.
