Chapter 33 - No Blood Lost

********Kane's POV********

I remember being told that Leoni's mother was also a runt.

That just makes my job all the more easy.

A runt would never dream to pull a stunt that she just did and that's how I can tell she's either gone insane or is on drugs.

She's doing things out of her comfort zone and maybe its all because she lost her mate... Leoni's father.

Serves her right anyway since the man was a prick.

I run amongst the trees picking up the scent of my son in a heart beat since he smells like Leoni and I and I let out a whistling howl.

My paws hit against the damp floor as the rain pours down soaking me completely.

All I can think about now is the fact that my son will be getting drenched in rain and will probably catch the flu due to this sick bitch kidnapping him.

But my son is a tough little dude and I'm sure he will be fighting as best he can!

I eventually catch a strong scent of him after two minutes of running, meaning I'm extremely close.

I push myself to run even faster and within seconds I reach a clearing, seeing the witch herself towering over my screaming son.

My heart clenches at the possibility of him being hurt already and every bit of my self control is lost the second I see her raising her arm, holding a sharp stake in her grip ready to stab my baby son.

I let out a ear shattering howl before jumping through the air, catching her raised arm between my teeth, pulling her away from my son in one swift movement.

As she clutches her arm screaming I take this as my time to check on Karson and to my relief he isn't physically injured however he is soaked from the rain which infuriates me!

I shift into human form and carry him to a nearby tree where I am able to shelter him from the rain all the while he cries and screams making my heart break.

As I place him down softly, I feel a sharp stabbing pain in my shoulder blade causing me to yell out in anger.

I reach my hand back in an instant and retrieve the stake from my back, cursing at the woman for being so fucking brave.

I turn to see her running from me which only makes me smirk in amusement.

It takes more than a shitty piece of wood to kill me...

I take off sprinting behind her in human form, catching up to her within seconds before I shove her face down into a mud patch just for humour.

"Your a brave one aren't you." I chuckle darkly watching as she attempts to get back on her feet.

"You killed my mate! And I'm going to do everything in my power to kill your son!" She screams, making me angry once again.

"Oh you seem to be forgetting something... in order to kill my son... I think you would have to still be alive." I smirk at her as I watch her gasp.

"Leoni won't want you to kill me!" She spits out, somehow thinking that she has priority over our son despite the fact that she just tried to murder him.

"No you see... I killed Leoni's father right in front of her... and funnily enough, she never even shed one tear over him... so what makes you think that you'll be any different? I'm doing my family a favour by ending your life sweet heart." I say smugly as I decide to punch her just to release a bit of anger before the grand finale.

"You don't have a real family... you never will... I've heard all about you, all about your parents leaving you!" She suddenly states, causing my blood to run cold whilst she holds her bruising cheek.

I don't give a fuck about my old parents anymore... but I do have a fucking family.

"I think you'll find that I do have a family. A very good one to be exact and my poor son is behind me crying right as we speak so let's cut to the chase and finish you off shall we?" I say, becoming impatient with her.

"You can't kill me!" She demands and I scoff.

"Watch me." I say, before I drive the stake right through her heart, enjoying watching the life drain from her eyes.

I stare down at her lifeless body in amusement before I hear Karson's cries come from behind me.

Shit!

I sprint back to where I left him and Immediately scoop him up into my warm embrace.

I sprint home as fast as I can, doing my best to shelter him from the rain and after ten minutes we eventually get there.

Once I open the doors to see a sobbing Leoni along with a worried Adam, Claire and David, I ignore every one of them and run straight to the doctors office with Karson.

"See to him immediately!" I yell, causing the doctor and nurses to spring into action, taking my son into medical care.

I mind link Leoni telling her to bring him fresh clothes and within five minutes she arrives holding his stuff.

I allow Leoni, who is still crying and sobbing to go into the room to see him and change his wet clothes.

Once she gets back the tears have slightly dried and she is a lot calmer from seeing that her son is still alive and safe.

"D-Do you blame me for this Kane." I hear her whisper as she approaches me cautiously.

"What? Of course I don't... I'm just angry that he could have gotten seriously hurt if I hadn't got there when I did." I explain, feeling guilty for not reaching him sooner.

"You did amazing Kane! You saved him and you will always protect him and I can't thank you enough!" She tells me as she pulls me to her hugging me tightly.

"Don't thank me Leoni. It's my job to protect my family." I tell her as I hug her back.

"Kane..." I hear her say causing me to release her from my grip and look down at her.

"I think you should probably go put on some clothes..." She chuckles embarrassed, making me realise that the second I had shifted back into human form in the woods, I had been naked.

I grin at her cheekily before running off to fetch some warm stuff to put on.

After ten minutes of waiting around, the doctor soon comes to get us.

"Your son will be fine... he may have a minor flu but since he is royal blood he should heal quickly, just be sure to give him warm baths every day along with this medicine." The doctor tells us, handing us everything we need.

"Thanks Doc." I say to him earning a nod before we both head into the room where Karson was laid.

When seeing us he immediately began giggling, completely back to normal, reaching out his small hands for us to hold him.

As I go to lift him up he giggles before throwing his arms towards Leoni, ignoring me completely.

I chuckle and watch as Leoni lifts him up into her arms whilst I shake my head at them both.

"He is definitely going to be a Mummy's boy for sure!" I joke as we both laugh in content of having him back.

"Yeah because you'll probably scare the shit out of him if he ever does anything wrong." Leoni states causing me to grin.

"What else is a father for? Somebody needs to keep his ass in line!" I laugh causing Karson to laugh too as if he can understand what we are saying.

After a few minutes, Karson let's out a huge yawn signalling that he's had too much action for one day making us laugh more.

"Come on let's get him into bed before he gets cranky, it's been a long night." I say as I lead Leoni out of the room with her agreeing completely.

I'm so glad to have my little guy back and I swear to kill anybody who tries to break my family apart again!
