Chapter 67

“Derrick, Please, give me our grandson,” mom sobs, holding her hands out for him, her steps slow as she approaches him. Luke has a gash down the side of his face, and I can tell he has met my father’s claws.

“No, you’re coming with me,” he tells her. I have never seen my father look so…so…feral. He looked like a rogue, every part of it; he was dirty and shaking, insane. That is what happens to rogues when they’ve been on their own for too long, but my father hasn’t been missing long for it to have this effect.

“Just let me take him. You’re scaring him, please,” Mom pleads, while my heart races as I figure out what to do.

“Luke, I need you to take Kyan out to the car and call Axton,” I mind-link him, and he looks over his shoulder at me. The moment he does, my father’s eyes dart to me, and he clutches Bane tighter.

“I’m taking her. She is my mate! You have taken everything from me, but you won’t take her!” he says, rushing up the steps as he snarls at me, and I hold my hands up in surrender. Nodding my head.

“No one’s taking her, but you need to give me my son, dad,” I tell him. Mom nods her head.

“Please, Derrick, I’ll come. Just hand him over, please,” she begs and sobs.

“Luke, go!” I snap at him when I see he is paralyzed by his fear. He jumps and races from the room and runs outside.

“You don’t want to hurt him? He’s just a baby,” mom pleads from the bottom of the steps. Only then do I notice the slash marks down the side of dad’s ribs when he twists slightly. My eyes dart to my mother’s fingers, which are coated in blood before they dart back to my father holding my son like he is a football and not a baby.
