Camellia looked back at the stranger on the bed. Such an ugly wolf! she thought. How did I end up with him? she asked again.'Thank you for the night', she said, swallowing her disgust. She feat nauseated and her head was aching. 'but you knew I was not in my senses. Couldn't you have just let me be?' she asked,not happy at the way the night had ended. Did Challotte set me up? she thought but the headache would not allow her think much.'This was not the song you were singing last night when you begged me to take you', he said. 'nor during our heated session, when you were moaning and screaming for more!''I get it!' Camellia said in exasperation. 'You don't have to spell it out to me nor gloat. Can't even remember you being that good!' she said and he laughed heartily as she hurriedly made herself decent and was going out the door before she recalled handing her car keys over to him. 'May I have the car keys?' she asked. He pointed to the table in the room. She grabbed the keys and
'You are going to marry our father?' Landon and Leigh exclaimed happily when Alexa broke the news to them. They could not contain themselves.'It is what Lionel wants as his birthday gift, I just couldn't deny him!' she explained. 'Not just Lionel, mum!' Landon said. 'It is what we all want!' he gushed and Leigh was jumping up happily beside him.Alexa didn't have the heart to tell them, it was just a contract that was going to last for at most, three years but maybe they need not know for now!'We have to see Lionel', Landon said.'We have a lot to catch up on!' Leigh said.'Hope he is already recovered?' Landon remembered to ask. In his excitement,they had forgotten that their mother had said he had been ill.'He is, and I know that he is as excited to share the news with you as you are to share the same with him', Alexa said smiling. 'So, I believe he will be in school today. So get ready!'*******'We have the information you asked for!' a voice said as she answered her phone.'S
Lionel got to school some minutes after Landon and Leigh and the two children were not happy to find that it was someone else and not their father who had brought him to school.'He promised to pick me up after school', Lionel said, he could barely contain his excitement. 'Mum must have told you the recent happenings?' he asked his siblings.'You mean about your ill health?' Landon asked. 'Yes, she did and I and Leigh are both glad you are up on your feet again!''Thank you', Lionel said. ' but was that the only thing she told you?' he asked in amazement. Mum had promise to tell them all about it. Hope she was not about to change her mind about marrying Dad? he thought.Dad and Mum....' Lionel started.'Oh, were you asking about their wedding?' Lionel asked and Leigh burst into laughter.'Landon was pulling your leg ' she said. 'Mum told us everything as soon as she got home and that makes the news we have to share with you even sweeter!' she revealed, looking at Landon for approval.'
'I am sorry, Miss Palmer but we do not permit parents or guardians to see the children during class hours except if there's an emergency!' the headmistress said. 'It is our belief that it distracts them and the lesson the loss may never again be regained!''It will not take long!' Camellia said. 'I also have not confirmed that you are Lionel's mother!' she said.'Damn! Camellia fumed but she smiled outwardly. 'What do I do to prove to you that I am his mother?''Any form of identification will serve!' she said.Camellia brought out her ID and then a picture she had taken of her and Lionel playing a game together with Hector on a very rare occasion when she had insisted on watching father and son play while playing family.'I still cannot allow you disrupt classes but in a few minutes, they will be out for break and then you can speak to Lionel if he wishes to see you?''Why will he not wish to see me, his own mother?' Camellia asked, feigning incredulity. Has Lionel started spurting
'Mrs. Carter watched her cat - walk away and then turned to face the children. 'You were so happy just now when you heard her mother wished to see you, why did your countenance suddenly change up on seeing her?' she asked addressing Lionel.'She may have raised me but she isn't my biological mother', Lionel said. 'My biological mother is her sister and the mother of Landon and Leigh! Alexa Palmer was the person I thought had come to see us!' he revealed.The headmistress was even more confused but she had a lot to do than listen to children's preferences . It was obvious that Lionel preferred his more caring aunt to his cold mother. Because though she tried to fake it, Mrs. Carter could see that Camellia Palmer was not as caring of her son as she acted. She was an old woman who had lived among mothers and was a mother herself and nothing passed her notice.'Alright', she said. 'I don't understand what you are saying but you all should probably be getting back to your lunch before the
'Do you know what this means?' he asked his Beta.'Of course, that you spent the night with the woman you fancied and not the one you aren't Retracted to!' Samuel replied.'Not that, you nitwit!' the lyncan king said, fondly. He was in a happy mood. A mood to play and make jokes. 'It means Lionel is the child she and I had from that one night stand! Little wonder that Lionel smelled her immediately as his mother!' Then something occured to him. 'But why didn't she knows Lionel is her son?' he asked pit loud.Samuel shrugged, wondering how the Lyncan king expected him to know the answer to that million dollar question.'Or did she know all along but is pretending? Could she and her sister be in this together?' he asked.'I don't think so', Samuel said, looking thoughtful. 'You could clearly see from the video that Alexa was clearly set up by her own sister!''Yes, but didn't she really have any inkling that Lionel is her son? At least I know how the ring I placed on her finger ended u
Pork, Samuel and the Lyncan king worked for a while, drawing up plans for the ongoing building projects and others.Hector looked up from the work and arched. He had totally forgotten about the passage of time. He looked at the time piece, a gold Rolex wrist watch on his wrist and emitted an expletive. It was ten minutes to school over and he had promised his son he was going to pick him up, and he didn't want to go back on his word. 'It's okay for now', he announced as he stood up. 'Got to run!'As he drove to the Blue Horn Academy', he though how happy his son would be when he told him that the woman he had chosen as his mother was actually his real mother.'Daddy!' not only Lionel but Landon and Leigh shouted as they sighted him. He got out of the car smiling. He was already growing use to these other two calling him Daddy. 'Anyways, since I am getting married to their mother, that will inevitably make me their father, at least by adoption or marriage', he thought in amusement.J
'If you do not shut your mouth, a fly might just make it's way inside, Alexa', He Tor said, sure now that Alexa had known all along. But why hadn't she said anything. She had even encouraged him to marry Camellia. Was that how much she loved her half sister or was she running from her responsibilities?Alexa didn't look to him like someone who would shelve her responsibilities nor shielded herself from them, so what was it? Was it that she didn't want him, because she wanted to be with someone else? That vampire for instance? Damn!'You knew, didn't you?' he asked but she looked at her children and he got her meaning. They were going to continue that particular conversation another time when it was going to be just them.'Daddy, it took you really long to find that out, something we knew right from the start!' Lionel said. 'You have revealed what you wanted to talk to us about, now it is our turn', he said, giving Landon the go ahead to proceed.Landon brought out an envelop from his
