Elena's POV.

I couldn't bring myself to believe how Rex had tracked me down. I felt my world pause for a while as all I could recall at that very point was how he had ordered me to leave his pack for good.

I felt this hurting pain in my chest as I looked at how he crouched to their level.

"Does he know those are his children?" I mumbled within as his gaze was still locked to mine.

It was obvious. They had this striking resemblance with him. I groaned even more as I looked at him. All the screams, the laughter of children and the conversations of adults all turned to some low pitched, unclear sound.

All my ears could process were the voices in my head. And I could still hear his voice so clear in my head when he had asked me to leave his pack for good. I could still hear the voice of Maya as well. And now, seeing him reopened the old wound I struggled to move over from.

"Elena?" Marie called out to me again as she shook me lightly, bringing me back to reality.

"Are you alright?" She asked me.

How would I be alright when the last person I ever expected to see after all these years was now right back into my life and he was playing with my two kids, Kanu and Kiana.

"Mummy?" Kanu screamed happily as he looked at me. "That's our mummy!" He answered Rex who now turned again as he looked at me.

"Was he here to take them away from me? Why exactly is he back? What does he want from me?"

Different questions popped up. I walked up to where they stood talking to Rex.

"It's time to go home, babies!" I feigned a smile at him as I turned to look at them.

I looked at Marie who still stood in bewilderment as she watched how I got disorganized the very moment I saw them with the strange man.

It was another difficult one to explain the real story now. I had lied about the father of my little angels.

He was a past I wished to forget and never for once did I think of having my entire life swept off the ground completely again by the man who I grew to hate.

"It's time to go home. Say bye!" I forced a smile now, the breeze blowing and pushing my hair to my face and Rex looking right into my eyes.

If he was here for my little angels, then there was absolutely no way I was going to let him take them from me.

I scowled within as he waved them goodbye as I carried them away back to where Marie stood, confused and trying to take in everything happening right that moment.

"What was that for, Elena?" She asked as we drove back home in a cab.

"Mummy, are you okay?" Kanu asked as he looked at me, pouting out his lips as he played with his fingers.

"Yes I am, baby!" I responded as I pulled both him and Kiana to my body, kissing their forehead multiple times before paying attention to Marie who was already tired of getting snubbed by me.

"Who…"

"It's nothing serious. He reminded me of someone from my past. I'm totally fine, Marie." I answered with a smile on my face as I stretched out my right hand as I wrapped her left hand lightly.

She forced a smile as she looked away. I knew she wasn't done yet but then, she knew I probably wouldn't say much because the kids were with us.

We arrived home a few minutes later and she left for her apartment as I walked down to my apartment and Kanu and Kiana couldn't just stop picking at each other as they argued about the strange man who had spoken with them at the park earlier.

"Mummy?" Kanu called out to me as he looked at me. "The man gave us some chocolates." He confessed as he brought out the 3 wraps of chocolates from his pocket as he raised them up, giggling as well and giving me those baby doll eyes.

That was a way of them making me do what I naturally wouldn't want to do.

"Kiana?" I frowned at her as I finally understood what their long argument was for.

I scrunched to their height as I looked at both of them. "What did mummy tell you about strangers?" I asked them.

"Never to take things from strangers." They chorused in a low voice as they looked at me.

"And what happens if you take things from strangers?" I asked again, looking at how they tilted their lips now with those pulpy eyes.

"Show mummy first!!" They chorused again as they maintained eye contact with me.

"Good. Very good. Now, give mummy a warm hug!" I opened my arms as they rushed in for a hug, giggling as I wrapped them up in my arms tightly and printed kisses all over their faces.

"And what is your new friend's name?" I couldn't stop myself from asking as I let go of them.

"Uhmm…" Kiana shrugged as she was trying to recall his name.

"Rex. Rex." Kanu responded as he giggled.

I knew why he was giggling. He felt happy remembering Rex's name before Kiana.

She rolled her eyes as she opened one of the chocolate as she pushed it inside her mouth.

"And what else did he say to you?" I asked, looking at Kanu this time around.

"That he was going to come pay us a visit someday." Kanu replied as he looked at me.

"And you both are friends!!" Kiana cuts in with a grin as she looked at Kanu now.

"Friends?" "Come around someday?"

My heart skipped as I heard those words.

"Why is he here in Kingston? And what is he up to?" I winced as I stood upright.

    Rex's POV.I couldn't let go of her beautiful grey eyes. It was impossible falling asleep when finally, my search for her was over. How could I easily forget how beautiful she has gotten within the five years of being away? Her black, wavy hair was now more appealing to me and her scent, still seductive to me. Her slender body mesmerized me further, making me want to have her all to myself again. And I felt more happy playing with her kids as I saw the striking resemblance. They both looked just like me but then, I felt these sharp pains as I was stupid enough to chase her away. If only I was patient enough, I would have spent time with my kids while they were babies.I couldn't help but think about what exactly she must have told them about me. They were smart kids. "Why wouldn't they be?" I shrugged proudly as I complimented their smartness as a quality they had taken from Elena and I."How did you know our mummy?"

    Elena’s POV.I still couldn't stop thinking about yesterday. He was the last person I ever thought of seeing and most especially, I couldn't help but worry how long they have been watching me. “How did he know of my two adorable twin angels?” I scowled agonizingly as I did the dishes. It was completely impossible to think straight right now. I had dropped them off at school an hour ago now, the only thing I could think of was running away secretly again. I wasn't ready to face him yet. “What about Maya?” “Did they break up?” I felt this joy linger within me as I shook it off. “Why was it a thing to be happy about?” I cursed within as I rinsed the plates.“Elena?” Marie's voice pulled me back to reality as I cleaned my hands. “Oh! Marie.” I mumbled as I feigned a smile. “You didn't go to work today?” I questioned as I looked at her. “Work?” She said disappointedly, shaking her head as she rubbed her forehead with her right hand. “What exactly is wrong with you, Elena?

    Rex's POV."Good morning, Rex. Is there any good news?" Alice asked the moment she picked the call."Good news?" I chuckled softly. "Do you think Elena would easily let me back into her life?" I scowled. "I saw her yesterday but then, I could tell she wasn't happy seeing me and she took the kids away from me." I responded as I arranged my hair. "What else do you expect? You caused this. I warned you from the beginning. Better don't get back here without my beautiful daughter in-law and her two little, adorable kids." She said in a threatening tone. "Kanu and Kiana." I muttered with a smile as I had flashbacks of them. "What!?" She asked in a confused tone. "Oh! She named them Kanu and Kiana." I answered with a smile on my face. "They are just 4 years old, and they look too big and healthy." I muttered.It was something beautiful and I wished I had watched them grow this big and smart. It was obvious that she was perfectly fine without me. "And how do you intend to get her back?"

    I arrived a few minutes before the school closure for the day as I remained inside the car, scanning the environment with my eyes like I was expecting something to go wrong. And the few minutes felt like hours already as I was growing impatient already. I just couldn't wait to set my eyes on my two little adorable pups. "Hello, little angels." "No, hell no!" I shrugged as I marched the car brake aggressively. "That's boring." I said to myself as I started all over again."Hey, Kanu and Kiana, you both look magnificent in your uniforms. How was school today?" I rehearsed again as I smiled.I repeated different lines as I looked at the mirror at the top of the car."So, your mummy said I can drive you both home and from today, I will be your new driver." I went further."Okay, this is weird now!" I cursed as I slapped my cheeks lightly and shook my head. "Is that how bad of a father you will be?" I shrugged disappointedly as I dragged my cheeks apart in frustration. "Okay, take a d

Marie screamed at the top of her voice as she looked at me."I just spoke with Mr. Heather and he said a man introduced himself as my brother, and he said he was going to drive them home." I responded as my heart raced fast.I just couldn't find a better positive explanation for this. I couldn't let any harm come to my little angels. "How could Mr. Heather be that careless? Why didn't he call in to confirm if the man's story was actually true? How could he just give out your kids to a complete stranger?" Marie growled angrily. Her heart also raced fast and wild as she paced about in the room. "I don't want any harm to come near my godchildren else, I will break hell loose." She panicked even more."They are an hour late." I whimpered as I stood upright, my eyes fixed on the wall clock and I knew absolutely nothing to do. "What proof did the stranger even show Mr. Heather to make him give my little

    Rex's POV."What do you want from us, Rex? Leave me and my kids alone, please!!" I could still hear her voice in my head as I drove down to the park where I first saw her and my kids when I arrived in New Kingston.I could feel the hatred she had towards me and right now, if there was anything that ran through my head was leaving New Kingston for good and never bothering her anymore."She was probably good without me." I muttered as I punched my steering wheel so hard. "Darn it!! Darn it!!" I cursed as tears blurred my vision. I just couldn't believe that she could ever raise her hand on me. She was never this way. This isn't the Elena I knew five years back. My heart ached badly as it felt like I should just end whatever pain I was feeling right now by pushing my hand inside my chest and pulling out my heart. I came to New Kingston with high hopes of getting back my fated mate, my wife and Luna, who I had stupidly sent out for my treacherous ex who never loved me but was only th

"How do you expect me to explain that you left yesterday around 2p.m to go pick up your kids and throughout yesterday, no calls and not even a single text from you. And you expect me to buy your "I'm fine?" I scoffed as I tilted my lips.He furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at me for a while, like he was contemplating something. But then, being a werewolf was also limited. Without him letting me read his mind, I just couldn't sit across the table and hear his thoughts aloud and, right now, I wished that was possible. I frowned as he ignored me, lowering his head again as he continued with his breakfast. I screamed frustratingly as I got up. I hate being left out. "I am your beta, Rex and I deserve to know everything that goes on in your life." I snapped, trying to get him to talk to me."Hmm." He growled lightly as he raised his head again.

    Elena's POV.I had gotten a new job in one of the biggest hotels in New Kingston. It was owned and controlled by a powerful werewolf family here in Kingston and, after the CEO died, his two sons took over the family business.His daughter recently got wedded into a different pack, a powerful pack as well. And I worked in the resort section. In the beach area. New Kingston was a place that welcomed a large number of tourists every month, which meant that it was definitely a great business and also, my salary for two months could help me pay up my house rent, which was already two months due. Marie also worked in the resort section. To be more precise, we were among the bartenders. "Wow, there is definitely no way I'm getting into a fight here!" Marie chuckled softly as she pinched my arm, making me yelp."I know you, Marie." I scoffed, rolling my eyes as I continued arranging my next order. Marie and I worked closely together. That way, we could avoid getting into any sort of troub

And Elena too, bless her poor soul."It was my mother's voice, and I tried to ignore the fact that I wanted her gone already. Her being around only complicated things. With the death threats I was receiving, the insecurity of the state and the upcoming elections, things were surely going to get messy. "These eggs are so good. Everything in general, you know. With Clark here, you don't need a chef around. You don't need these helpers, you know." She said again, dumping the eggs into her mouth.We were in the dining room, I sat at the head, Clark beside me, and my mother directly opposite me. A few years ago, the dining room would've been filled with my wife and two children. But at the moment, I didn't even know if they belonged to me. "Thank you, Mrs King." Was Clark's curt reply.

    Rex's POV The line went dead, and I stared at the phone in my hand. No matter how hard I tried, I could see that she was hell bent on making sure that those boundaries were felt and were put in place. Was there still hope when it came to her? Clark and my mother seemed to still believe, but I knew I had stopped believing a long time ago. Just then, the door opened, revealing Clark. He was dressed in a flannel shirt and jeans, two brown paper bags in his hands. He was supposed to get us specially prepared Chinese food from a Chinese restaurant, and I wondered why he had taken so long. "Come on, man. What has taken you so long? How's the food? I hope it's scorching hot, I need it that way."He nodded, then handed a pack to me which I accepted willingly. "I went to see Marie along the road. Decided to tell her the dangers lurking. She deserves to know. At least, one of them has to. And we can trust her not to tell Elena, but keep an eye on the kids as well. Which to me, is satisfac

    MARIE'S POV "Death threats?" I managed to voice out, my words coming out in the form of a croak. It was tiring. I could only imagine the reaction of Elena if she heard such news. She was going to go hysterical with worry. "It's actually connected to Rex, but they want to harm the twins. Not on my watch, Marie. I would rather die than see anything happen to those children, Marie. And I won't take it lightly on anybody I catch around them." He paused when the waiter arrived with the iced tea. I accepted it with a smile, sipping instantly. The chilliness and the flavor hit me, and I recognized that the news I had just received had made me slightly dehydrated."However, we're making plans. Serious plans. At the moment, we've decided to take the bakery just opposite the house. From there, I believe that we can strictly monitor the house and pounce on anybody around it."It sounded like a good plan. I was scared. Not even for my life, but the life of the little kids and the life of Elen

Marie began, looking at me as I tried in vain to reshape the biscuits that had seemed to go badly because the dough hadn't been well prepared. "Yes, I know that. They've always been special children from the start, Marie. I know you remember that. The problem now is their father. Is he a special man? I doubt it. He didn't believe me even though he knew the love we shared was extremely genuine. Forgiveness is hard, Marie."I managed to complete, staring at the biscuits before I put them into the oven. Marie was beside me in an instant, tickling me. "I know that forgiveness is hard, but he's the mother of your kids, Elena. You have to consider that. Since he saw you, he's done nothing but try to be a good father, and also have you on his side in support as well. But I can't tell if you're going to support him..."Something inside of me snapped. Why did everybody derive joy in telling me what to do all

    LOGAN'S POVThe entire lab was a room filled with unease and tension. For the umpteenth time, I knew that they all had multiple places to be, but were in the room because of a man. A man that we all hated, that we shared the mutual dislike for. Collins Morgan had brought us together once again, and I was certain that they all shared my hatred, that they probably weren't going to rest until he was gotten rid of. "Some days, I wonder why we do what we're doing, Logan. How are we sure he still has these pictures? How do we know he can still possibly implicate us?" It was the voice of a tired Helen, her face pale. "You saw those pictures very well, Helen. That thing gets out, and it ruins not only this company, but all of us as well. We're well known in the city, Helen. We're the children of the founding fathers, the kids that will probably take their place after their deaths. If those pictures get into the hands of the FBI, we're ruined for life. Each and every one of us." I paused to

How could I tell her that the friend had never made it? That his head had been cut off and was in a special box I had hidden in order not to scare her. "No mum. He actually said he'll be dropping by tomorrow. He just came to give me some information, and by tomorrow, we'll meet properly." My mother smiled at me instead, then glanced at Clark before speaking. "You should talk to your Alpha. If he's not the kind of man that wants his mother to meet his choice of friends, then he should just say so, instead of lying about it. I hope it isn't a woman though, because as far as I'm concerned, you have a wife and two children..."I interrupted, my mind on the fact that Elena and my kids weren't even safe at the moment, haunting me. "Technically, she isn't my wife anymore, mum. Who knows if she'll fi

    Rex's POV That was his way of saying it was supposed to be a private discussion. Shrugging, he went on to say it, even though my mother was in the sitting room. "Jonathan says he's on his way, Rex. He's almost a few blocks from our house. He has the results of the sender."I almost smiled in happiness, but decided to swallow it because I was certain that my mother was going to notice. "Who is Jonathan?" She asked, her hand rubbing the back of her neck. "Just a friend, mum." I replied, knowing that involving her into the mess that was my life was the last thing I wanted to do at the moment. How was she going to react when she heard that threatening messages were being sent to me, including my children? I was still staring at the television when the doorbell rang. The best part of living with Clark was that he was ready to work alongside me. That was why when I stood up, he stood up with me. We were going to see Jonathan together, and my mother could continue watching the news.

Coming to you live, from KCN news, my name is Stephanie Lawson."My hands trembling, I grabbed the remote, then switched the channel to the main Kingston central news. It was everywhere. Governor Nathan Feller and his entourage were supposedly dead, as their private jet had crashed into the Tanaka river. But I knew better. My mind was working like a clock. The Governor was dead? Just in time for my father to seize the mandate of his party and start making the move for Governor?What a coincidence!"Logan, where are you going?" my mother asked, looking up to me as I angrily made my way out of the room. I didn't reply. I angrily made my way to the other house where he lived, ignoring my mother. There, I made my way into the house and his study, and the guards k

    Kingsley's POVIn the boat, I shook the hands of the members of the six for a job well done. I grinned at the boat crew as well, shaking Roland Chapo, the man in charge of it. "Everyone, good job. Now, we're going to watch as the private jet sinks into the river." I muttered, slapping the arm of Governor Nathan who squirmed uncomfortably. Cans of ice cold beers were being brought forth by the boat crew and we all stood, watching the private jet struggle to stay afloat. By the time it began its descent into the river, the engines caught fire midair, and it crashed into the river, then exploded into bits. "Yes!""To the hijack of Goodish airways!" I screamed, raising my can of beer. We slammed our beers, one against each other, and I didn't mind the beer pouring on me. It was good to feel it. Governor Nathan sat in a corner, struggling with the tests that were about to cascade down his cheeks. I smiled at him, then slapped his shoulder again. "Your job is incomplete, Governor! Now
