???'s POV
"Zander, tell me everything there is to know about Amy Wormington," Hazel demanded.
She was hurt that he kept secrets from her. She detected the strain Zander felt from the lengths he went through to bury such information deep into his mind, hoping Hazel wouldn't pick up on it. "You deliberately hid it from me. You chose to keep this from me, Zander, but why - why would you intentionally lie to me?" Hazel paced back and forth into the small space of the RV's bedroom.
She paused and stared directly into her husband's eyes. "Oh, my God! You love her - that's why you went to such lengths to hide her from me, YOU FUCKING LOVE HER!" Hazel doubled her hand into a fist and punched the wall. "FUCKKK!"
Zander hurried to her side. He grabbed her palm. "Shit! Kitten, stop overreacting," he lifted her bruised knuckles to his lips, and he licked each of them - healing them with his saliva. "I love no one else but you," he released her palm then he circled his hands around her waist and pulled her to his body. He freed up his mind to her. "You know I tell the truth, Little Kitten."
Hazel read his mind, she searched every corner. It was the first time Zander had opened up so much of himself to her. She saw what he went through when his parents were murdered, and she felt what he did when he thought his sister died.
Zander was carrying so much burden, it made her head spin. She continued to swim into his mind, it saddened her to experience the level of guilt he had not only for hurting her and the pack but also for hurting Amy.
"Tell me about Amy, what makes you feel so guilty about not being able to protect her?" She asked him.
A wave of guilt washed over Zander's heart, and she gulped when she detected the pain and heartbreak he felt for hurting Hazel. There was also fear, the fear of hurting her again.
"Zander you're scaring me. What could be so bad that you're fostering such grief?"
Zander detected the animosity festering in Hazel's heart, and he knew he must tell her. He ushered her over to the bed, and he gestured for her to sit. He exhaled a frustrated breath. He turned his back to her and hung his head low. He perched his hands on his waist and he sighed again. "We - we had a son," he barely whispered.
"Come again?" Hazel heard him clearly, but she thought her ears had deceived her.
Zander slowly turned to face her, Hazel's beating heart was drumming in his ears, she was beyond shock and the betrayal she felt was causing Zander a significant amount of hatred and disappointment in himself.
He never wanted to hurt her, but it was time to tell the truth. He buried this secret long enough now, it was so deep in his subconscious, it has been unreachable by their bond, but the moment he saw Amy after so many years, it floated to the surface like washed-up debris on the beach. "Amy and I had a son, Kitten."
His confession stung Hazel like a swarm of wasps. She flinched when the word son left his lips. "And you didn't think this was something you should have told me before we got married?"
"Kitten, I -"
"Fuck you, Zander, you don't get to call me Kitten right now." Hazel interrupted. "I can't believe you would keep something so crucial from me - this only shows me how selfish you are."
"Selfish? Come on Kit-," he exhaled. "Hazel, yes, I am wrong for keeping this from you for so long but try to understand everything before you label me as selfish. I was ashamed and the way the baby died - Moon Goddess only knows I fought long and hard to forget that gruesome day."
Hazel calmed down a bit. She was so angry, she had given little thought about the child, the innocent baby of the situation. "What happened to him?"
"Here's the thing you need to know about some wolves, especially males. Most of us are very promiscuous until we meet our mates. I was going through a hard time back when Amy and I used to fool around. I had just lost Zoey, who was the only family I had left, and I believed that the Moon Goddess was punishing me for slaughtering so many of her wolves in my feral days as the Demon Wolf," he explained. "Hazel, I believed I would never find my mate. I thought you didn't exist, so I cursed the Moon Goddess, I slandered her name. Gidian was upset too, so when I was in wolf form, Gidian spent hours cursing at the moon; howling at her for hours."
"Oh, Zander, I'm so sorry," Hazel spoke sadly.
Zander couldn't look her in the eyes, so he kept his gaze on the floor. "One of those nights, Amy followed me out into the woods and well, she wanted me to have sex with her."
Hazel shifted uncomfortably.
"I knew she was ovulating, I could smell it, but Kitten, I want you to know that another woman could ever bring me to climax until I met you."
"So how did she get pregnant then?" Hazel squeezed her eyes shut.
"This is the part I'm embarrassed about. Amy knew I felt alone in the world, being the only wolf left in my bloodline. She talked me into agreeing to have her give birth to my pups. I was honest with her about not being able to ejaculate unless I masturbated. She told me to do so in a jar, and she'll do the rest."
"So artificial insemination?" Hazel corked an eyebrow.
"Yes, she inserted my sperm into her womb. They would brand an Alpha weak if his pack ever knew that was how he got a she-wolf pregnant."
"So, nobody knows this other than Amy?"
"And Carson - I tell that idiot everything, but he would never repeat this, Jinx would never allow him to."
Hazel was beginning to understand a few things, but she still needed to hear what happened to the child. "And the baby?"
"Ok, it only took me a couple of days to smell my child growing in Amy, I was excited. Our arrangement didn't stretch to anything further. She was just carrying my pup, but Amy wanted more. She requested to be my Luna. I advised her I needed time. After days of thinking it over, I decided to make her my Luna, but then Carson told me someone started murdering the she-wolves, some of them in their sleep by ripping their hearts and throats out. I was alarmed. I didn't know who was doing this."
"Oh my fucking God! That's crazy."
"Zander, tell me everything there is to know about Amy Wormington," Hazel demanded.
