Chapter 1
❤️❤️ Toss Away ❤️❤️
A young woman and a little boy were seen walking along a bushy path on bare foot. It was dark and the moon was high, shining it's rays on them.
"Mama, when are we going to reach the big house you said we are going to? Will there be enough food and water to steal from the house? I haven't eaten since morning," the young boy with her said and fumbled with his worn out short that has so many holes in it and brought out a small cut dirty cloth, "Look Mama, this is where I will put some of the food we are going to steal in the house, it will last us some days," he added happily.
"Where we are going, son, there will be plenty of food for you to eat," the young lady said to her son. She was wearing a handmade gown with corsets sew together, her gown was filled with dirt, new and old ones. It has passed the road of stitches so many times.
They continued walking in silence until they came to a big house, the biggest house the little boy had ever seen in all his life. It was as if the building was almost touching the sky. It was guarded by several guards in uniform and blocked by a little brick fence wall with a large big door at the middle.
Walking closer, the little boy realized the walls were higher than he thought.
His mother's rough coughing brought his attention to her, he watched her bring out her old dirty clothes, which served as handkerchief and placed it on her mouth. "Are you okay mama?"
Spitting into it, she nodded her head and wiped her lips quickly and carefully so that her son wouldn't see the blood and began to panic.
"We are almost here, Storm, you know how I taught you how to walk silently, we are doing that now." She told him as they stopped some distance away from the guards. She turned and entered the bush, holding her son by one of his little hands and they began to walk quietly. Pushing some heap of dry leafs that was in front of them, out of her way. In front of them was a small tunnel and she entered it with her son. Walking silently in the dark tunnel until they came out in the middle of the compound, a garden, it was hard to spot the tunnel from it, very hard. Storm wondered how his mother gets to know about the tunnel which leads inside the beautiful building.
The dirty unkempt woman screamed out a name, which attracted the gaze of the guards inside and they raised their spear and swords, ready to attack when the door to the beautiful building opened and a man wearing an expensive robe on his naked chest and black shorts came out with his personal ten Ninja's.
The guards all dropped their weapons and bowed before the older man.
He recognized the dark skinned woman who had dared to call him by his given name.
"What is it, Phoenix?"
The woman smirked, and Storm stared at his mother, he didn't even know his mother had a name, a beautiful name. "So you still remember my name, Ariadne?"
"What do you want?" The important man asked.
The woman then pushed Storm towards him.
"I am tired of taking care of your son, you can have him all to yourself now," she said as Storm moved back to stand beside his mother.
The important man was quiet as he regarded Phoenix, "You've changed a lot, what happened to you?"
"You happened to me, Ariadne,"
"Do you need money? You've never come to ask me for anything before, I have searched everywhere for you Phoen-"
"Save me all this sermon Ariadne, I will take the money." Phoenix interrupted him.
"How much do you need?"
"100 coins, not silver, golden coins."
With his orders, a guard gave the money to Phoenix in a small bag who counted it. She turned to go and Storm followed her, his mother was a wonderful actress. The important middle aged man didn't kill them, instead, he gave them some money after his mother had pretend to leave him here.
"Where are you going?" She asked her young son, "You are staying here, that man," she added, pointing at Ariadne, "Is your biological father, you will be living with him from now henceforth."
"I don't want to live with him Mama, I want to stay with you," Storm said and to his utter surprise his mother slapped him hard.
"Are you deaf? You will stay with him." she told him in anger.
"I want to stay with you Mama, I promise I won't steal or trouble you again, please Mama, let me go with you."
"This is where you belong now, not on the streets." Saying that, she pushed him so hard that he landed on the ground. "If you know what's good for you, hold him or else I will kill him myself." she threatened Ariadne and turned once again to go.
Ariadne nodded his head once and two guards held until Storm who started struggling to free himself.
"Please Mama, I won't disobey you again, I promise, let me go with you." Storm pleaded, but his plea fell on deaf ears.
With his eyes filled with tears, he watched his mother go, walking past that beautiful giant door, not stopping once to look at him.

"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."

"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
