Rosalyn’s POV
/"Rosalyn you worthless pathetic excuse of a child I can't believe you came from my womb why can't you do anything right? I told you better make sure dinner is ready by time I take my bath and get back down the stairs/"
Let me introduce myself, my name is Rosalyn Parker I'm a were wolf and the mother of a beautiful amazing 17 year old boy. My life was never the best......who am I kidding it was horrible, my mother abused me verbally and my brother and father acted like I didn't exist. I always wondered why my mother hated me ever since the day I was born she always treated me like an outsider to the point where I thought I was adopted and she was tired of taking care of someone else's child. That would explain why she treated me that way but my theory was tested and proven wrong and I was left wondering. However I decided to never ever let my son feel the way my mom made me feel when I was younger.
I was pulled from my thoughts by a kiss on the cheek from my most precious possession in the world, my son.
/"Buongiorno mamma/" (Good morning Mom) said my son Alessandro after kissing me on the cheek
/"Good morning my baby boy/" I replied with a smile.
/"Mom I am not a baby anymore you know, can't you find another nickname for me I'm 17 years old/" he whined
I laughed as he scrunched up his nose at the name I called him.
/"Well... I drawled out, no matter how old you get you'll always be mi bambino piccolo (my baby boy)./"
/"Fine mom you win but just so you know you're only allowed to call me that within these walls/"
/"Whatever you say mi bambino now go grab your coat and meet me by the car we're having breakfast with the alpha and the Luna plus, I have to clean out the storage room for the new arrivals before opening up the café./"
Alpha Zander and Luna Gabriella have been like my second parents since I arrived in Italy 17 years ago, I ran into them after my first week here I was out of money and hadn't eaten in a day, they were kind enough to buy me something to eat. That was when I told them everything that happened from my mom verbally abusing me to my mate rejecting me and then finding out I was pregnant. After much convincing they brought me back to the pack house and I officially became a member of the blood Moon pack.
Everyone in the pack has been nothing but accepting and gentle towards me since I arrived and also towards Alessandro as well. However, even though we will always have a home at the pack house I couldn't live there I wanted to be able to fend for myself so a year after Alessandro was born I moved into our current home not too far from the pack and got a job where I saved money until I was able to open my own café, now it's a buzzing business and the local spot for members of the pack as well as humans and some other super naturals. I snapped out of my thoughts when I realized Alessandro was yelling at me telling me we have arrived, the alpha and Luna was outside waiting on us to open up the café so we could have breakfast.
Breakfast went by very quickly as the alpha and Luna were in a hurry, they had stopped by to give us the exciting news that they were having a child and wanted us to come by the pack house for the celebration. After they left Alessandro went to school and I cleared out the storage room and got the café ready for the busy day ahead.
Today was an extremely busy day even more so than expected and after closing time all I could think about was having a nice hot bath and laying down in my soft fluffy bed to rest. As I opened the door to my three bedroom apartment I heard my phone buzzing I saw I had a missed call from my brother and decided to Call him back before taking my bath. Alessandro was up in his room so I told him to heat up the leftovers in the fridge if he was hungry as I was too tired to cook dinner tonight. I dialed my brother's number and placed the phone at my ear after the second ring he picked up.
/"Hey baby sis how was your day?/"
/"It was good. I am a bit tired but I'll manage/" I replied.
/"Ok make sure you don't overwork yourself though, by the way I have some exciting news/".
/"What is it/" I asked
/"Well it’s been a year now since my mate and I have found each other/"
/"And/"
I ask wondering where he was going with this, mate is a touchy topic for me and Michael knows that so it must be important if he brought it up. I've gotten to know his mate quite well though we've never met. Such a sweet woman Genevieve is.
/"Well... we're getting married!!!/" He yelled
#Chapter2
Rosalyn’s POV
I started panicking internally as soon as he uttered those words I knew where he was going with this but I can't go back there I can't face the place that destroyed me plus I haven't told him about Ke’shaun being my mate he just knows that I was rejected and the reason I left was because I couldn't handle the pain.
/"Sis you there?/" I heard Michaels voice bringing me back to reality.
/"Yeah I am still here/" I replied
/"look I know it's sudden and I totally understand if you say no but I was really hoping that you would come to my wedding, it's not until next month but as you know Genevieve's mom passed away when she was young and she was hoping you could help her plan the wedding plus it would give me a chance to meet my nephew in person/"
I sighed in defeat when he played the /"Genevieve's mom is dead/" card he knew Genevieve and I had developed a bond over the period of time I knew her so if she asked me to be there I wasn't gonna disappoint plus it's my big bro's wedding day I am not gonna let those assholes stop me from being there for him I just didn't know how I was gonna convince Alessandro to come or allow me to go he knew about his father and my parents I remember the day I told him everything he was four years old.
Flashback
/"Mommy why doesn't daddy want us?/"
/"What do you mean baby?/"
/"Well I had a dream last night and I saw daddy telling you that he doesn't want you and you left your house and ran into the woods./"
I stared at Alessandro with shock written all over my face. He was talking about the night I got rejected but I haven't mentioned my rejection since the day I met the alpha and the Luna so how did he know about it.
/"Mommy are you ok you're doing that thing when you stare at the wall again/"
/"I am sorry honey mommy was just thinking, by the way how did you know that daddy doesn't want us? that was just a dream/"
/"I don't know I guess I've always known, it was more like a feeling I can't explain it, so do you know why he doesn't want us mommy?......End of flashback.
That day I explained everything thing that happened in my life the best way I could so a four year old’s mind could understand I made sure to tell Alessandro that even though his father rejected me doesn't mean he wouldn't accept him I gave him the choice to meet his father but every time I brought it up he said no.
I told my brother I would be at his wedding he asked me to fly out next week because I explained to him that I had a pack celebration to attend in a few days plus I had to talk to my alpha to gain permission to attend the wedding. We discussed travel arrangements and then I ended the call. I decided to take a bath and get myself something to eat because I'm gonna need the energy in order to tell Alessandro that we're going back to California.
This is gonna be a long night.
#Chapter3
Rosalyn’s
/"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 not 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 I 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 Ke’shaun’s twin he was the splitting image of his father 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 alla 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 was getting ready for the Luna's party. I had called earlier in the week requesting a meeting with them after 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 pack house 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 have a seat how are you doing?/"
/"We're doing good/" I replied
/"So you requested a meeting with me is anything wrong? are you guys having any issues with pack members or other super naturals 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 Rose you know you’re 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 pack house and headed back home so we could rest up and finish preparing for our trip. I sighed as I drove away from the pack house California here I come.
