Chapter 32

Alexander

My mom finally seemed to be feeling slightly better. The hospital prescribed her some strong antidepressants and tranquilizers, so strong that she was no longer able to shift into her wolf.

“I don’t care. I have no reason to shift into my wolf anymore.” My mom sighed as I finally drove her home after being away for over a month. I’d hired nurses to keep watch over her when I couldn’t, and one of them would be starting the next day.

I helped my mom to her bedroom and helped her lie down in her bed. It was so strange having our roles reversed after she’d always been the one taking care of me my whole life. But everything was strange in my life. This was normal compared to everything else. Yes, how sad, my mom barely able to function as an adult was “normal” to me. Fuck my life.

I sat down on a chair next to her bed while she got settled. “Will you be okay, Mom, if I go work on some things?” I asked.

“Alex”—she stared at me—“you seem unhappy.”

“Of course I’m unhappy, Mom. Dad is dead and you’re in bad shape. Why would I be happy?”

She let out a deep breath and said, “Yes, but it seems to be more than that. You’re not yourself.”

“I’m fine, Mom. Just get some rest. I’ll be downstairs. I’ll bring you some lunch up in a bit.”

“Where’s Sara?”

“Sara doesn’t live in the packhouse anymore.”

“She moved out? Why? Did she meet her mate?”

“No, it’s because it was time for her to move out. I need to be alpha on my own, and she needs to find her own path in life.”

“But she’s your sister, Alex. And it’s always good to have help, eh?”

“No, she meddles too much, and she’s too impulsive. I don’t like how she does things. Now that Dad is gone, it’s time for her to leave too.”

“Alex, I don’t like this at all.” She looked at me sadly.

I kissed her on her forehead and said, “It’s for the best. It’s time for me to do things on my own. Now get some rest, and I’ll be back with lunch later.”

I stationed myself at the kitchen island downstairs, deciding to work from home that day. Normally I worked from the dairy processing plant, or I was out and about either training or overseeing the patrol stations. But I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my mom home alone. I sighed. If we were on better terms, Sara probably could’ve stayed and kept watch over my mom while I worked, but I just couldn’t stand to face her anymore. Anyway, it’s not like we couldn’t afford to pay nurses to keep watch over my mom.

My chest burned. It never ceased. Ever since that day I came home and caught Talia and Hugo together—my heart had been shattered. I’d never felt anything like it before. Goddess, I loved her so much, I realized. Why did she hate me? Why had the Moon Goddess sent me someone so perfect who refused to be with me? It was a cruel joke.
