Stolen Past

Chapter 9

Cole's POV

"That lady wished me luck when I told her about the plan of wedding" King Michael says with his eyes on road.

Samantha is in the passenger seat and I am all comfortable in the back seat.

"She knew there is no hole for her to sink in" I whisper.

"What did you see in that woman anyways?" Samantha asks King Michael.

"Oh it was a weak moment, Sam! I lost my wife and she was always around taking care of Evelyn and I. I was also a drunkard then. By the time I sobered up, I found you" he tells her.

"Why are we third wheeling?" Odin asks.

"I did not know the mission comes being the third wheel, bud!" I mindlink him back.

I look out the window and stare at the white clouds. I hear the couple in the car talk about their wedding and how excited they are, but Samantha falls silent suddenly.

I notice that we entered the human land. She is nervous to meet her ex husband.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I ask her.

"I need to do this. I would like to believe that I did not have a miscarriage and they saved the baby!" Samantha whispers.

"Do you know? If your baby is a boy or a girl?" I ask her again.

I hear her sigh and then she smiles turning around to face me.

"John was never around. I wanted to know the gender of my baby. But I wanted to do that with him. He was too busy sleeping with other girls and never really paid attention to the life we created. So I decided that I would let my baby surprise me. I still don't know if that is a boy or a girl" she whispers.

I nod. The whole car goes silent. I would like to believe that her baby is alive as well. Samantha deserves it.

We reach the jail premises and get down the car. We wait for King Michael to park the car and get back to us. Meanwhile Samantha shows the pass to the guards who let us in.

We pass hallways and to a huge room that looks like a highschool cafeteria. It has several small tables and four chairs around each table. Only one table is occupied today.

"Oh my beautiful Samantha!" The bald man with a pot bolly greets her.

"Hello John!" I greet him with a smirk.

A kid who takes a look at this man will easily call him as the creep uncle who steals dolls for a dollar.

"You changed your boyfriend already? You are just like me!" John smirks at Samantha.

He then notices King Michael walking behind us and smirks at Samantha again. He shakes his head making a weird sound.

"Double dating?" He asks Samantha.

"Watch your words because I don't mind ripping your head in a second" King Michael threatens John.

John stands up and he is shorter than King Michael. Both of them glare at each other and I walk to John's side and shove him down so he could sit. Samantha and King Michael sit on the opposite and I bet they must be holding each other's hands under the table.

"Why did you call me again?" Samantha asks him.

"I wanted s*x!" John smirks and I see his teeth slowly turning black.

Do they supply drugs or some junk here?

"No girl would be interested in a junkie" I shrug looking into his eyes.

His eyes look awfully familiar. I can see he is suppressing all his anger. If he lashes out on us here, it would only effect his jail time so he wouldn't dare!

"Where is her baby? Who is it?" King Michael asks in a threatening tone.

"Now that I have the leverage, I don't want to give that up easily" John smirks.

I wonder how Samantha even fell for this douche bag. I look at Samantha and her face is emotionless. She doesn't even feel anything for this junkie now, and I am glad.

"John, let us stop with the games. And tell me where my baby is!" Samantha says.

"Your baby? Oh my innocent Samantha! That is our baby! The baby you gave birth to because my d**k was in your tight little-"

He could not get to finish that sentence because I threw a punch at him that fast. The junkie lost balance and fell off the chair. King Michael looks at me and nods as he pulls Samantha closer to him. She is already trying her best to resist her urge to break down into tears.

I grab junkie by his collar of his orange dress code and shove him on to the chair again. I walk around and sit on my earlier chair.

"So now, I am officially out of patience as you can see," I pause and look at John.

I have his attention and his lower lip is bleeding. Very well.

"It is either you tell me where her baby is or you let me rip up your whole body piece by piece. In case you do not know, I have contacts who could cover that up for me! I can simply bury you somewhere. The earth is so vast, isn't it?" I smirk at him.

Junkie gulps as he looks at me. I wipe away the imaginary dust on his shirt and meanwhile give him a minute to gather the address of Samantha's baby.

"I don't know," junkie whispers.

I grab him by his collar and pull him closer to my face so I can show him how strong I am so he would not like the idea of underestimating me again.

"You must have a death wish!" I smirk at him and glance around this hall to find something.

"I mean it! Trust me!!!" Junkie starts to shout.

"I don't have the patience to feed on your lies anymore, Johnny!" I say as I stand up to fetch the iron rod sitting patiently in the corner of the room.

Obviously I am not going to harm him.! I don't like to spend years and years in this stupid human jail when I am a lucky man who gets to wake up everyday with the sweet scent of my mate! I wouldn't do anything to give that away.

"I am not lying!" He shouts and that successfully grabbed the attention of a cop.

I put the iron rod away but still fold my hand behind to give him an impression that I am still holding something.

"I don't believe you johnny!" I smirk at him as I increase my pace.

Through the corner of my eye I see a cop walking towards us so I know I need to finish this soon.

"I will give you three seconds before the cop there comes and helps me in killing you!" I whisper.

"She lived in an Orphanage but she left that when she turned eighteen. She doesn't visit me anymore. I don't know where she is!!" John cries out loud as he looks at the cop.

I look at King Michael and nod at him to take care further and I walk towards the cop.

"What is happening here?" The cop asks and I smile at him.

"Oh! Having a conversation that was meant to be. But officer, is there a way I get the details of other visitors?" I ask him.

The police officer looks at me, then behind me to see Samantha and King Michael still talking to John. I see John with sweat all over his body as he looks at the cop.

"I am afraid that is illegal. The visiting time is up," he announces.

I nod at Samantha and King Michael. They silently walk out. I smile at the cop I just talked to who gave me an annoying glare. We walk out and the moment I see sunlight, Samantha hugs me tight.

I smile and hug her back.

"Thank you so much. I now at least know he wasn't lying about my baby" Samantha says as her voice cracks towards the end.

I pull away and wipe her tears.

"You marrying Evelyn's father makes you my family. I would do anything to keep my family happy" I smile.

And now to me, she is like the mother I never had.

"Can you believe.. I have a daughter!" She smiles wide as she turns to look at King Michael.

He smiles wide and pulls her into hug and then throws me the keys before hugging her tighter. I go to the parking lot and unintentionally take a sneak peek through the glass. I see a woman who is probably in her thirties kissing her husband who is again, in the orange dress code. I wonder how did he commit a crime when he loves his wife so much.

I drive the car and pick King Michael and Samantha where they were. They both get comfortable in the back seat and I am terribly missing Evelyn right now.

"Cole, can you stop at a cafe or something?" Samantha asks.

"Are you hungry?" King Michael asks her.

"I just need to use a bathroom and grab a dessert. I feel like having something sweet now" she smiles.

I smile with a nod and notice that this is the same lane that Liam and I came to yesterday. I drive for a minute, and find the familiar cafe. The name reads 'Feel good Café' and it actually feels good too. The books, the brick walls and cozy vibe.

"Honey! Pick some cupcakes for us and brownies for Evelyn. I will use the bathroom and we will get back to pack again. It is already afternoon" Samantha says as soon as we enter the café.

I walk to the counter and order twelve chocolate frosted vanilla cupcakes and six brownies for take away. It feels nice to know that Samantha actually paid attention to what Evelyn likes and what she doesn't. Evelyn goes crazy for some homemade blueberry muffins and cafe brought brownies. She is in for a feast today.

I sit with King Michael who is flipping through the same book I read yesterday. As in cue, the red head waitress whose name I forgot comes and greets us with a smile.

She spots me and looks around.

"Liam isn't here today" I smirk at her.

This girl blushes very easily because now, her face is all pink again as she nods and stares at the floor.

"Liam?" King Michael asks.

I nod at him and he understands what it is about. And he decides to play it cool as well.

"I am his Uncle, Michael! And you would be.." he extends his arm for a shake.

"Maria" she whispers.

"Lovely name for a lovely girl" King Michael smiles.

Now I see how he is able to get girls fall in love with him even at this age. I couldn't even flirt with Evelyn even after I marked her.

"Would you like to order?" She asks.

"No honey. We are waiting for the take away" King Michael says again.

At the exact same time, our order of brownies and cupcakes arrives and we stand on our feet. Samantha walks out of the bathroom and gestures us to walk towards the car.

King Michael and I wave bye at Maria and exit the cafe.

"Since when are they dating?" King Michael asks as soon as we got out.

"I don't know if dating is the term for whatever they have right now between them. But I guess Liam takes interest in her" I smile.

"Who?" Samantha asks.

"The waitress in the cafe. Liam can imprint on her hopefully. He deserves a happy ending" King Michael says as he takes the driving seat again.

I make myself comfortable in the backseat thinking of Liam. He really takes interest in Maria. And after all he went through, I want him to find happiness.

"Thank you, Cole! This day would have gone wasted again, if you weren't there" King Michael finally says.

And I noticed I just zoned out and we are already in our pack driving towards the castle.

"Don't be thankful. I just did it for my family" I smile.

The car comes to a halt and I see Liam already waiting at the door for me.

"I expected Evelyn to wait for me with open arms, so what do I owe the displeasure of seeing you here instead of her?" I ask him with an eye roll.

"Since when do I have an Uncle?" He scoffs.

Eventful day and now I can thoroughly entertain myself with the boy before me.
