A knock came to the door I quickly turned to answer it. Lamar slipped his way into the apartment before shutting the door behind him.
"Dang," he groaned before getting closer to look at my cheek. "The kid said you look pretty bad this morning but not that you got beat to a pulp. What in the world happened? Was it one of your customers?"
I let out a puff of smoke but made sure to turn my head so it did not going Lamar's face. "No, I got jumped on the way home."
Lamar suddenly looked behind me and then back to me with a curious face, "you never have anyone over. And a cute little Omega is definitely not your usual."
I turned as I heard Ashley squeal. He rushed over and clung to Lamar's leg as I sighed deeply. "I said no dresses,Ash."
"What's the big deal?" Lamar snickered at me, "you jealous you can't wear one to today?" I smacked his shoulder with a smile. "Well, since you have company, I'll take the kiddos for the night. Archer's been begging for Chinese food so come over when you're all done to eat with us."
"Thanks," I said as Archer came running out also. Lamar took their hands and brought them out of the apartment and over to his.
When the door shut, I slowly made my way over to Cam and sat across from him at the table.
"I can't believe you have kids," Cam whispered. "You always said you didn't want them."
I nodded, "I didn't, but I would not take them back for anything." I stared down Cam, which made him hesitate to talk again. "Why are you here? I thought my intentions were clear since I bolted and let no one know anything about where I was going."
"I've been worried about you! You know you are important to me and then you suddenly just disappear off the face of the Earth! I have been looking for you all this time."
"Well, you found me. Now what do you want?"
Tears started to fill Cam's eyes as he looked at me in anger, "after everything we've been through, you have to talk to me like that? You can't convince me that you haven't thought of me in all this time. I know you can't just leave me and forget all about me so quickly! You're clearly miserable! Why can't I just come and help you?"
"Because I don't want help," I hissed. "That is why I left. I don't want anything to do with any of my past. Those two children deserve a lot more than that. I came here to start a new life and create a world where they could live happily."
Cam seemed to choke up and struggle to speak again. After a few moments of silence, I sighed again before looking to the table.
"So how did you get Sean to confess?"
"Hes my mate, so it didn't take much once I knew he was aware of something about you."
I smiled slightly even though my heart ached. "I was glad to hear that you two were together. I knew he could make you happy."
"That's why he told me! He knows I have been miserable and worried about you all this time. And to find out he has been aiding in financially supporting those kids drove me crazy! I could do that! I want to help you. Even after all this time, I love you. Sean can never replace you. You mean more to me than anyone else!"
I gave him a glare, "then why did you put me in danger?" Cam froze as he looked guilty but also confused. "By you contacting me, you gave a line for that Alpha to follow to catch me. If he catches me and these children, I will never be able to escape. I have gone to great lengths to hide everything about me so he couldn't find me."
Cam became silent and I noticed his body began shaking, "I didn't think about that." He looked to me with power, "But I had to tell you something! I didn't want you to regret your choices for the rest of your life!"
"What in the world are you talking about Cam?" Can began crying before grabbing my hand that was on the table. "Hunter's sick," he whispered and I felt my body tremble. "Really sick. They don't think hes going to survive much longer."
My body began shaking uncontrollably and I knew that Cam could tell as he squeezed my hand tighter. "What is it?" I whispered and Cam began crying harder.
"Bone cancer," he whispered and immediately I began crying uncontrollably. "For your sake, I've kept up with him in hopes that one of us could find you."
I forced myself to stop crying and wiped my face with the back of my sleeve. "So does he know?"
Cam shook his head, "it's not my place to decide for you on what to do."
"Does he need a donor?"
Cam nodded, "but he needs more than that. They are unable to pay for treatment even if they find a donor."
"Cam, if you want to support me then help me save him. But don't let him know that it's me. I want to be his donor and I know a way to get the money he needs."
"But you are barely making ends meet! If Hunter found out that you were barely surviving and found a way to get money for him he would be devastated. And if you went to his side, you will boost his spirits which the doctor said may help."
I shook my head, "I abandoned him when I always told him I never would. I can never face him again."
"He doesn't care about that!" Cam yelled louder than he had so far. It surprised me slightly. "If you want to make it up to him, then go to him! You are being so selfish when the only person you've ever cared about is dying! The only thing he has asked for of anyone is to find you just so..." Cam began crying harder, "just so he can say good bye."
I shoved Cam's hand away from me and stood in disgust, "he is not going to die! I won't let him. With enough money, nearly anything is possible. And I know how to get him the funds."
"What in the world are you planning?" Cam demanded as his eyes narrowed.
I put out my cigarette in an ashtray nearby, "selling my soul to an Alpha is easily worth his health and life." I looked away from him for a moment to gain my composure before looking back. "I will contact Sean when I know more about what I can do. But I need to do this quickly as Hunter probably does not have much time left. I need you to go."
Cam stood and rushed over to embrace me. "I will keep this secret but you must promise to keep me informed about your life. I want to be part of your world."
"Alright," I whispered before leaning down and kissing Cam gently. His entire face blushed as he looked to me in surprise. "You will always hold a special place in my heart to Cam. Thank you for finding me."
He smiled slightly before hugging me again. After a few moments he finally let himself out the door and left me to my work.
