The woman could talk all she wanted about killing Kai and how she'd marked Warren as hers. She could even call Warren a freak. Did it bother Kai? Of course it did! She wanted to punch the bitch in the throat just for having said what she'd said about Warren. But he was a grown man and, from what she could tell, he was pretty damn comfortable with who he was as a shifter.<br/><br/>However, the moment she brought up their son, Kai was dead silent. As the other shifter's words sunk in, eating away at her, all the breath in her body left her. Not able to take a proper breath, Kai stared at the floor, eyes glassy and a look of shock on her face as if she'd just seen a ghost. What kind of mother talked about killing her own child and then laughed about it like....like it was something talked about over coffee?<br/><br/>The words cut her like a knife and as hard as she tried, she couldn't hide her emotions and she couldn't keep them from touching Warren. She'd done her best to keep them out of the bond up until that point, not wanting to worry him. But now that she felt like she'd been hit by a train, she wasn't even thinking about trying to close it off.<br/><br/>Suddenly, Kai fell to her knees, a hand pressed against her stomach as if she may be sick. A few tears managed to escape. She'd never met Warren's son, he wasn't her son, but it was hard not to feel anything for the lost soul.<br/><br/>When her next words came out, her voice was calm, steady, not holding any of the emotions she felt.<br/><br/>"How can you even call yourself a mother?" she asked. Her train of thought had derailed. Gone were the threats, the promise of pain. "Mixed breed or not, he was your son, you psychotic twat. You were supposed to love him no matter what. Protect him from everything; even from yourself. He trusted you to love him....to take care of him....not murder him for what he was and then....dump him down a well...."<br/><br/>The words were out of her mouth before she even realized it. Actually...she hadn't even realized she'd said them. Kai had forgotten about Brandt standing not five feet from her and Alex beside him. She'd forgotten Warren sitting just a couple feet away with Karren by his side. All she could focus on was the woman and her words.
