Chapter 26 Kaden What just happened ? Kaden stood on the outskirts of the forest , staring after the form of the petite woman idisappearing out of his sight behind a grove of trees .
He hadnt meant to hurt her .
Not at all .
But clearly , his words had had a damaging effect .
Hed never seen her be so disrespectful .
Actually , that wasnt the right word .
She had no reason to show him respect under the circumstances .
Hed never seen her be so angry .
Even when things were terrible for her , when Jenna was screaming in her face or humiliating her .
Sienna had always kept that subservient mindset about her .
She didnt wince or cry .
She didnt even appear to look sorry for herself .
The woman truly was remarkable .
The more time he spent around her , the more opportunities he had to speak with her , the more he began to realize there was something very special about her , something he couldnt quite put into words .
Yet , hed just told her she wasnt good enough for him .
He hadnt meant it that way .
In fact , hed tried to be very careful about not saying it that way .

But thats clearly what shed heard .
He may as well have said , Sorry , kowly servant girl .
I am too high and mighty for you .
Go back to your hole ! And then , in an attempt to kick her one more time when she was down , he had offered to help her .
Here .
Let me hold your hair back our of your face while Jenna slaps you Kaden shook his head .
He had never claimed to be particularly good with words , but he wasnt usually such a dunce .
He was really getting a lesson in love this time around Love Had that been the word that came to mine ? He shook his head and rolled his eyes at himself .
He did not love Sienna .
He didnt even know Sienna .
How could he love someone he didnt know ! Simple he couldnt .
He didnt .
It didnt matter what the Moon Goddess or anyone else decided he was supposed to do .
The L word was off of the table .
Still mentally kicking himself , Kaden headed back to the house to take a shower and get ready for work .
He had a lot on his plate that day .
He needed to do his regular work , check in with the trainers and perimeter guards to see if there were any updates on Zane , and then check on all of his quests before he had to come back to the house to get ready for that nights events .
He kept his footsteps light as he walked in front of Jennas bedroom door .
She was the last person he wanted to see .
Well , one of them anyway … Running into Sienna again right now would not be fabulous anyway .
He rounded the corner to see his grandmother coming out of her room .
Take your time , honey , she was saying and almost didnt see him .
When she did she had a look on her face that let him know he was in trouble .
Again Good morning , Grandma , Kaden said , intending to pretend he hadnt noticed her disagreeable look .
He stepped around her and headed the few doors down to his own room She followed .
He went inside and pulled pulled out some clothes to put on after his shower .
Once again .
Grandma Hannah was on his heels , closing the bedroom door behind them .
He turned and looked at her .
My next stop is the shower , so you might want to rethink this Kaden James Stone ! Grandma Hannah exclaimed .
Really , what is the matter with you ? He turned around , a defensive air around him , but as soon as he saw her face , he knew he couldnt keep it up .
I dont know ! he admitted .
Something ! She shook her head and pressed her fingers to her forehead the way she did when he was giving her a headache .
Hed caused many a throbbing head for her over the years .
Tasked you to be nice to her , and you send her back to me crying Was all of that necessary ! All of what ? he asked .
What did she tell you ? Nothing Grandma Hannah admitted .
ed .
She didn didnt say anything at all 1 asked , but she said she was fine .
She didnt look fine .
It seemed ridiculous for him to tell his grandma exactly what hed said , that hed told Sienna that he wasnt looking for a Luna .
Saying that out loud , away from the mute pull to someone who wasnt in the same inuation as the two of them , made it sound like she had some ridiculous schoolgirl crush on him , and he told her in her dream .
But that wasnt what this was .
It was much bigger than that , more powerful .
Hed trivialized it and made it seem like he could tell within a day that he was going to be able to simply walk away from what the deity above them had in store .
Dnd he know for sure that he could do that ? He lud to .
But what if I cant ? he thought to himself .
Kaden ? What did you tell hert I , uh , asked her if she wanted my helps with Kent , and she said no .
That was true .
He had asked her that .
1/2 10:02 AM c D Chapter 26 Well of course , she said no ? How embarrassing .
I told you to talk to him , not tell her you were going to talk to him I know , Kaden said , but i really think it will make it worse if I approach him .
No , it wont , Kaden .
It cant possibly be any worse ! Π Luna Hannah turned as if she were going to leave , which was fine with Kaden because he needed to take a shower and get on with his day .
Before she opened the door , she stopped , holding the handle with the door pressed against her forehead .
Do you know that your father considered rejecting your mother ? Kaden had been digging through his sock drawer but stopped .
He looked into her eyes in the mirror in front of him and then turned to look at her .
Whats that ? She nodded , knowing he had heard her and just wanted clarification , not a repeat of the question .
Yes .
And it was for the same stupid reason you want to give this little girl His grandmothers definition of what a little girl was seemed different from his own .
Granted , she was small , and he often thought of her as that girl .
but the more time he spent around Sienna , the more he realized she was a woman .
The way his body reacted to her wearing that towel the day before , the way shed looked at him while he was getting dressed .
Yeah , she was definitely a woman .
I didnt know that about Dad , he said .
Your mothers father was the son of an Alpha , but he wasnt an Alpha since her grandfather had lost his pack before she was born .
It wasnt that though .
Your father .
Benjamin , thought that he was too busy to focus on his personal needs .
He wanted to look after the pack , much the same way that you do .
But Kaden , theres a reason the Moon Goddess places her pull when she does .
She does it when we are ready .
She has designed Alpha and Luna to lead together in harmony .
One without the other is a song without a tune .
It simply does not work .
You and I get by , but we are singing the same notes , born of the same blood .
You need a balance .
A partner .
Someone to love .
His grandmothers face was soft and kind as she spoke , and Kaden listened not only to her words but the true message behind them .
She wanted what was best for him , and it seemed that she believed for some reason he couldnt explain Sienna was just that .
Just think about it , dear , she said .
Dont be too quick to make up your mind .
Kaden nodded and watched her walk out the door .
The minute she was gone , his mind filled with all of the reasons she was wrong and all of the reasons he was right .
Even if he wasnt .
Like a machine , he went into the bathroom to take a shower , thinking over all of the tasks on his list .
If he just kept his feelings out of it and went through his day on autopilot like a robot , he wouldnt have to worry about fated matches , moon balls , mistreated servants , or any of it .
Still , as he stood beneath the warm water , he couldnt help but wonder what wouldve happened if his father had done what hed originally intended and never gotten together with his mom .
Obviously , he wouldve never been born .
Would his father have been happy ! Kaden seriously doubted it .
His fathers eyes twinkled when he looked at his mother .
She made him laugh .
She made him smile .
They definitely balanced each other and created beautiful music together .
But Im not my dad , he reminded himself .
And Sienna is not my mom .
She was nothing like his mother , and she would never be able to replace Rachal Stone as the Luna of Light Sky Pack either .
So there was no use in even considering it .
His mind was made up .
He would not follow through with the match .
No matter what .
