I knocked on the door and after hearing ' Come in . ' I went in . Book1 Chapter12 " Hey Chase , how'd it go with Courtney ? " I asked the now cheery Chase . " Great ! She left him .

" And that was the sad truth . * At her parent's house later * " Sapphire ? Is that really you ? " My mom said , hugging me , careful of the baby in my arms . " Yeah it's me . " I said , pushing her away . " Luke ! " She yelled for my dad . " Sapphire's here ! " He came running down the steps , " Sapphire ? " " Yes , it's me , dad . " I said , rolling my eyes . My mom ushered me in , " Where have you been ? " " White Claw pack , I'm the Third . " I said , proudly . After a ton of questions , and a dinner of spaghetti , they finally let me leave . " Come back soon . " My mom yelled to me as I left the house . " Will do . " I yelled back We had talked about everything , they apologized for how they let the power get to their heads and for not being great parents . After some begging , I decided to let them try to be parents again . When I finally got back to the pack house , it was 6:00 . The pack was eating dinner , because I ate already , I decided to bring Caden up to my room to sleep . Rocking Caden in my arms I started humming , softly . " You're going to be a great mom . " Said someone , Cameron to be exact . " What are you doing here ? " I whispered . " Going to find Chase so we could discuss plans , but then I caught your scent mixed with his and decided to make a detour . " He said . " Well I'm done now , so you can go . " Shockingly , not really , the alpha male didn't listen . " Sapphire , I'm truly sorry for what happened . I know I was an idiot for rejecting you , but in my defense , I didn't think you would be a fit Luna . I'm not sure why but I did . My wolf hasn't spoke to me since that day until we saw you . He's still pissed at me , he's been pestering me to talk to you , to make you forgive me for what I did . I need you , Sapphire , we need you . " He said , a lone tear rolling down his face . My wolf whimpered in my head . I sighed , not knowing what to do . ' Let me drop Caden off with his parents then we'll talk . " I decided , motioning to the sleeping boy in my arms . He nodded , walking over to the desk in the corner of the room , and sat in the chair . " I'll be here . " Bobk1 Chapter12 I nodded , grabbing Caden's baby bag , and made my way to Jesse's room . When I finally found it , I knocked , getting the reply of ' Come in ' from Stephanie . Walking into the room , I noticed Jesse wasn't in there . I shrugged it off and turned to Stephanie . She looked at me amazed , " How did you get him to fall asleep ? We never can do that ! " I shrugged , " I just sang to him . " " Thanks for watching him . " She said , setting him into his crib . " No problem , I liked spending time with him . " She smiled and laid on her bed , I took it as my cue to leave . " Bye Stephanie . " I waved . " Bye . " she said back I made my way back up to my room , dreading what was to come . My wolf was ready to forgive him and fall into his open arms . My human doesn't know what she wants .
