Alexandra packed some things for the kids and brought them over to Victoria‘s house. “Why are we sta ying with grandma again?” Sophia asked as they drove. “Victoria misses us. We are just going to keep her company for a while,” Alexandra explained “But she could come stay with us,” Charlie argued. “She could, but grandma is older. It is harder for her to pack her things and move. This is so she can get her fill of spoiling you three,” Alexandra laughed lightly. “Do es that mean we get cookies every day?” Sophia asked, kicking her legs in her seat excitedly. “I’m sure she will make you lots of cookies,” Alexandra assured. When she got to Victoria‘s house, the kids r an right in begging for cookies. Alexandra had called ahead and gave a quick rundown on what was goi ng on. Victoria was expecting them.

She pulled their bags out of the car. Hers were still back at the house and she was going to go back for it later. She‘d have to talk to Santino when he got back, anyway. Inside, the kids already had glasses of milk and cookies. Ale xandra chuckled and shook her head. She brought the kids‘ bags upstairs and then joined them in the k itchen for her own cookie, which, with her pregnancy hormones, seemed like the most delicious thing in the world suddenly. “Don‘t worry, grandma, we‘ll keep you company,” Charlie said through a mouthful of cookie. “And I am very grateful,” Victoria said, patting his head. “Can we talk?” Alexandra asked, nod ding to the living room. Victoria followed her out. “Can you tell me what is really going on?” “Damon esc aped. Larissa helped him. Santino accused me of helping,” she said, crossing her arms. “That‘s.” Victor ia shook her head. “I‘m sorry, Alex.” She put her hands on her granddaughter‘s shoulders. “I don‘t know what is going to happen, but I need time away from him. He doesn‘t trust me. How can we be together if he doesn’t trust me after everything we‘ve been through?” she asked, her voice catching in her throat. “I know, it isn‘t easy. I‘m sure he‘ll come around,” Victoria offered. Alexandra shook her head. “It‘ll be to o late.”

“You know you‘re welcome to stay here as long as you want.

he is coming from. As Alpha, he has to put the pack above personal feelings, even your sometimes,” Vi ctoria said.

“This isn‘t about that.” Alexandra sighed and shook her head. “I‘m going to go back to the house and w ait for him to come home. We‘ve still got a lot to talk about.” “The kids will be fine here with me,” Victori a assured. “Thanks,” Alexandra smiled weakly. Back at the house she packed her own bags. She didn‘t know how long she was going to be gone, but at least she‘d be able to come back and get the things she needed. Victoria‘s house wasn‘t too far. While she w as packing up her clothes, Santino returned home. She heard the door close and silence, a pause, like Santino was waiting for something. The kids, maybe? “Hello?” Santino called.

“Up here,” Alexandra said stacking some shirts in her suitcase. “Alex, what‘s going on?” Santino asked. Alexandra flipped the suitcase closed and pulled the zipper shut. “The kids and I are going to stay with Victoria for a while.” “Umm… because of our argument?” Santino asked. He didn‘t sound surprised, an d that hurt Alexandra even more.

She couldn‘t turn to look at him yet. He was so close, she could feel him behind her, but she didn‘t want to look at him.

“No, because you made it clear today that you don‘t trust me. You don‘t trust or value my opinions, observations, or feelings, an d you certainly don‘t trust my priorities or my loyalty to you and the pack,” she explained curtly. “Well, h onestly, when it comes to Damon, no, I don‘t trust you,” Santino said. The words were like a knife in Ale xandra‘s heart. She‘d known it. She‘d always known he would never trust her because of who her broth er was, and now she was admitted it. How had she let herself get in so deep? “Then we can‘t be togeth er,” Alexandra muttered. She wasn‘t sure if she was expecting Santino to fight and disagree. Part of her wanted him to say she was wrong and he did trust her. That he had been wrong in his accusations and

they were going to work through things. “You know there is no such thing as divorce in werewolf societ y,” Santino said. That was not what Alexandra wanted to hear. He spoke so flatly, emotionlessly, like he actually agreed that that couldn‘t be together. Tears pricked her eyes. She wasn‘t going to let them fall in front of Santino, though, He lost the right to see her vulnerable.

“I know,” Alexandra sighed, setting her suitcase on the ground. She swallowed several

times to keep her voice from cracking. “But you‘re right. We can‘t be together if we don‘t trust each other,” he agreed. “I have no problem trusting you, Santino. You‘re the one who can‘t trust me,” Alexandra said blatantly. She wanted Santino to understand the harsh reality. This was all on him. She’d done nothing wrong except want to see a better future for her brother.

Sure, Damon had done some awful things, but second chances, the chance to make amends, that never should be denied anyone who wants to take that chance. “What… what about the baby?” Santino asked as Alexandra wheeled h er suitcase to the door.

“I guess I will uphold my tradition as a single mother,” Alexandra said flatly. “You don‘t have to,” Santino

“We‘ll see what happens. I don‘t want you to get your hopes up on anything,” she said. “What does that

“Nothing is set or finalized. It is just a possibility,” Alexandra said. “I‘m just trying to be honest so you don one who has accused me again and again of being disloyal and unfaithful, I can‘t live like that. I can‘t take it anymore!” “You‘re right,” Santino muttered call first or something. No surprise visits or big gestures. This is a trial separation and I expect you to tre

She didn‘t like playing hardball, but every time she‘d given in and forgiven Santino in the past, it had backfired. She needed him to know tha
