Chapter 4: Chapter 4

Rosalyn POV

"MOM I SAID NO!!!!"

I could feel the entire house shaking beneath my feet, from the power of the alpha tone in Alessandro's voice

"young man, don't you dare raise your voice at me!!"

His facial expression changed from anger to regret within seconds

"I'm sorry mom, I didn't mean to shout at you, but you know what those people did to you, I can't allow you to go back there, and if you go I'll have to come with you, and I don't think I'll be able to control my anger around them," he said.

"I know dear, but I'll be fine and it's not gonna be that long, we'll just be there for a month, besides I haven't seen my brother in 17 years, I can't go to his wedding, plus you need to meet your uncle, you guys only communicate over the phone, it's not like we're going to live ok, besides I'll have Mi bambino ( my baby) by my side, every step of the way, I'll be fine." I coaxed

"And what about him?"

Alessandro asked with disgust in his voice, I knew he was referring to his father.

"what about him?" I asked

"isn't he gonna be there? after all, it is his pack, and uncle Michael is his beta, you guys are bound to run into each other at some point, you think you can handle that, and what if he finds out am his son, it's not exactly easy to hide, from the way you talk, it seems like I could pass as his twin, one look and he'll know I'm his, not that I care but I know he's gonna want answers"

I thought about what Alessandro said and he's right, he could pass as Keshaun’s twin, he was the spitting image of his father, the only thing he got from me was the skin color, and I know the moment I arrive, everyone else is gonna see it.

"We'll cross that bridge when we get there, sweetheart, don't worry about that, just get your stuff together, we'll be leaving on Monday, I'll speak with the alpha and the Luna after the party Saturday to get permission to leave."

"Ok, Voglio bene la tua mamma (I love you mom)" he said, kissing my forehead before making his way up the stairs

"Ti amo Anche il Mio Prezioso Ragazzo(I love you too my precious boy) I replied with a sigh, I had my work cut out for me.

The next couple of days went by uneventful with the same daily routine, it was now Saturday evening, and Alessandro and I were getting ready for Luna's party. I had called earlier in the week requesting a meeting with them to ask permission to go to California for my brother's wedding. Now I'm on the couch in the living room waiting for Alessandro to come downstairs, so we can leave.

"Alessandro, hurry up, we're gonna be late to the party, what's taking so long?" I shouted

"Mom, have you seen my coat? I can't find it anywhere"

"it's in the closet by the door? now hurry and get downstairs, so we can go, you know how I feel about punctuality."

"Alright I'll be there in a minute"

I got up to pull the car out of the garage by the time I was out of the driveway, Alessandro was closing the front door and making his way to the car. The drive to the packhouse was very short, as it was just a 10 minutes drive or 25 minutes by foot, when we got there, the shower had already started and the house was filled with people. I parked the car and went inside. Alessandro left to go talk to his friends, and I went to place our gifts down on the table, little after Luna Gabriella came up to me, pulling me in a bone-crushing hug, I congratulated her on the pregnancy again, and we went around talking to people and enjoying the party.

It was now 10:00 pm, the shower was over, and I was making my way to the alpha's office for our meeting along with Alessandro. The Luna had gone to bed because she was complaining about her swollen feet and feeling tired. I knocked on the door to the alpha's office, and entered when I heard him say "come in" he was sitting around his desk doing some paperwork, a genuine smile made its way on his face when he looked up and saw us

"ah, Rosalyn and Alessandro, come in to have a seat. How are you doing?"

"We're good" I replied

"so you requested a meeting with me, is anything wrong? are you guys having any issues with pack members or other supernatural, or is it the business?"

"No, nothing like that, alpha, everything is fine, I just wanted to ask your permission to go to California on Monday, my brother is getting married in a month, and his mate asked if I could help her plan the wedding."

"Oh ok, I see well you have my permission to go, however, you know you like a daughter to me, and I know your history with your old pack, so I want you to be careful ok, and if anything at all goes wrong, you call me and I'll be there in an instant to bring you home ok?"

"Yes" I replied

"Good," he said

"take care of your mother for me, ok? son," he said turning to Alessandro

"yes, uncle" Alessandro replied.

After talking a bit more, Alessandro and I left the packhouse and headed back home, so we could rest up and finish preparing for our trip. I sighed as I drove away from the packhouse California, here I come.
