He turned to leave after that. Sera gave me a big, wide smile and said to me using her mind-link, “Stop dreaming. Rook doesn’t love you. Take your little brat with you and get out of Moon Shadow Territory. Rook’s heart and body are both mine. Hahaha…!”
This made me downhearted.
The pride of a Heavenly Wolf Pack princess began to surge in my blood and veins. They boiled and roared for me to stand up to all these. Rook could go to hell for all I cared!
However, a mother’s love and tenderness pulled me back with a tight rope and bounded all my impulses.
Ari could not be without a father.
He loved Rook more than me.
Rook was a hero to him. His hero had a silver wolf’s cape around his shoulders as he held a Darksteel sword in his hand while shouting out the order to slay the rogues.
Ari would be heartbroken if I took him away from Moon Shadow Territory.
I could not give up on Rook now for Ari’s sake.
The next morning, Ari swung his little wooden sword around and stabbed the air.
“I want to show Daddy the swordsmanship technique taught by my teacher.”
Children have big hearts. It only took one night’s sleep for Ari to forget about Rook’s coldness and forgive him.
Ari ran down the stairs excitedly.
However, he saw Sera and Anna seated at the dining table while Rook cut some bread for Anna lovingly.
“Daddy, what are they still doing in our house?”
Slam!
“Take note of what you call me, Ari.” Rook slammed the bread knife on the table. He looked coldly at our son. “Didn’t I tell you to move to the basement? Where’s your mother?”
Ari jumped from shock. He gulped but still stepped forward bravely.
“My teacher told me that I can become a warrior if I trained well in swordsmanship techniques. I’ll protect you when I grow up, Daddy…”
Before he could finish, Anna trotted quickly over to him. She snatched Ari’s wooden sword from his hand and flung it out of the window. It fell into the lake.
“I don’t like you! He isn’t your daddy. He’s my daddy!”
