The Luna's Second Chance Mate novel Chapter 2

I bought some gifts for my family on the way back home. After all this, all I wanted to do was spend quality time at home with my wife and son. It had been a long couple of days planning and executing the attack on Moonstar and everything. My arm was still heavily bandaged from the wounds I sustained during battle. A normal injury would've healed fast but these had come from an alpha, scratches and bites inflicted by alphas took a longer time to heal regardless of who was attacked.

My body still stung as I made my way carefully toward the house. A nice hot bath followed by some vigorous fucking with my wife would go a long way to heal me and also calm my nerves. Amaya would love that very much. She loved being touched all the time and I owed her. I smiled despite myself, my body tingling in excitement. I haven't felt this way in a long time. Just thinking about the things I would do to her made me fucking horny. I hastened my steps so I wouldn't piss myself.-

On getting home, I noticed the door was unlocked. Did she see me coming and unlock the door? Maya sure did like surprises. I decided to play along and went inside.

"Maya I'm home!" I announced, placing the stuff I was with on a table. When I didn't get a response, I went inside. "Amaya?" Was it hide and seek now? I searched around, expecting to see her every time I opened a curtain or a closet or looked under a bed. I was overworking myself and soon my wounds began to bleed again but I kept looking. This was a game we used to play.

The sound of a baby crying stopped me in my tracks and my heart sank. Declan. I searched where it was coming from and saw my one year old son on the floor crying. His clothes were dusty like he had been there for a long time. Did he fall? Oh God.

I bent and quickly picked him up as the stitches on my arm tore even more and more blood flowed. "Shh. It's okay, it's okay. Daddy's here, stop crying." I said, wiping his tears.

What the hell was happening? Why was Declan like this? Was this still a game? I put him back into his cradle and went into our room for the second time and noticed the note on the bed. I probably hadn't seen it before because my eyes were just focused on finding Amaya's hiding place. I opened it and read. It was in her handwriting;

Dear Kade,

I'm leaving. I know this is very selfish of me but I just couldn't take this anymore, you ignore me a lot, you're too busy, you don't touch me anymore. All you care about is the pack. But I need attention, I need to be taken care of but sadly you can't do that. Nik and I have run away to somewhere far away so please don't look for us. I left Declan with you as a peace offering so please don't start any trouble. Nik loves me and knows how to treat me. I hope you find someone special.
