The Alpha & Beta’s Regret – Chapter 146

Jack POV

He was in the lost and found with the boys and Rafe, getting them dry clothes from the packhouse laundry, when he realised that although Luci and the boys had only been here for 5 days, he had yet to buy them a single thing at all. No clothes, or books or toys at all, nothing. He’d thought to, but with so much going on around him, Rafe and the pack, he’d not had the chance to.

Realised that he had been more than lax in his duties as a parent, not that the boys seemed to care at all about this, being part Siren, they didn’t really have that need to want material things.

He could see Luci out there and stood and watched her, as she Siren called Maria from less than a metre away. Watched as blood poured from her nose and eyes, ears, then her head was just gone, he saw Lucis hand fan out to her right briefly in the moment the she-wolf became headless, and her body just glowed for a few seconds.
