Christos. By now, I could see that others except the woman beside me are aware of the twins’ presence and I gave them a pointed look when they all glanced at me, wondering what I wanted them to do. Nothing of course, I was eager to see what the kids would do. “I did not mean physically. I am talking of your attitudes, young woman.” The boy snorted, and my wolf and I almost laughed aloud when we heard the young lady’s response. “Well, it better not be my face, young man.” She returned almost coldly, making it plain her physical appearance was nothing to be messed with. “Pathetic. So pathetic and vain.” Her brother breathed in astonishment and the girl gave a pealing laughter which reminded me of the other beautiful woman who was sitting close to my side. How dangerous the Summer ladies are. They kept pulling the string of my heart. “Please be quiet, Ric. We have a mission.” She ordered shortly and one would think she was the older of the two. “You called this a mission? We are g
Christos.Not that I needed anyone’s understanding or acceptance of my action. I am the Alpha and it’s my call here. No one dares argue with me, not unless they wish for death or something equally brutal. My wolf will not stand any rubbish even if I am a lenient master.“Hmmm Frank? Can you please check on the twins and see if they will like to come down and join us? They might be feeling lonely up there alone.” I tried to pretend I didn't know they had already decided to be naughty.“Right away, Boss.” Frank stood up and dropped his napkin. He was equally aware the kids were close to us but he’s willing to play along.Their mother gave me a questioning look and I sent her an assuring smile. Seeing that it’s what I want, she gave me an appreciative smile. It’s glaring she must have thought of her kids also and their feelings alone in a strange house.She opened her mouth to say something but just in time, her daughter spoke up. Just as I expected, funny girl!“Oh we are here, Uncle Ch
Becca.The best day of our lives, mine especially. But from the kid’s radiant smiles and shouts which are uncommon, my kids are usually so composed, shouting is not one of the things they indulge in, it’s a toss as to whose day is more made between our trio.Even now, they keep jumping and running about as Christos lightly throws the softball to them from where he is seated. Despite the fact that he must be extremely tired, why won’t he? We have barely had enough sleep since we tied the knot the previous day; yet, he is here having a good time with the kids after coming up with them after lunch.Allowing myself to be distracted, again, from trying to read the book my mother-in-law had left for me this morning before leaving for her house which is on the other side from us. Her private home which she had told me is far enough from her protective son but also not too far that she can’t pop in to see us whenever she is in the mood now that her son finally decided to bless her with a fami
Becca.“What’s a soul mate?” My inquisitive daughter wanted to know and a side of my lip twitched softly. Trust my girl to ask what’s important and difficult to answer.Not that I was not interested in hearing how Christos would explain his way out of it.‘Why not admit you are eager to know what his definition of soul mate is?’ That annoying voice snorted and I rolled my eyes. Even if that’s my motive, it’s nothing unusual.“How do I explain this? Mmmm okay let’s see. Soul mates are two people, male and female who care so much about each other, love each other so much, they can always feel what each of them is feeling. Be it pain or happiness.” He explained softly but in a well accented confident tone and I watched as the twins digested this news in silence. And then…“You mean like Erica and I? I always feel her pain every time she is not happy.” My boy pointed out and I almost laughed when a surprised look came into my husband’s eyes.‘Now explain your way out of this, buddy.’ I mu
Christos.While a part of me would admit I was also as curious as the twins to unravel this mystery and know my woman’s family if she truly had any out there, another part was actually skeptical about the whole thing, wondering if I was not about to open a nest of bees I would not like.But well, it’s too late to change my mind. The twins are fully aware of everything and even if I’m willing to disappoint them now, I’m sure they will not give up. They will only look for other ways to get their mission accomplished and who knows what length they will go in achieving that? Or what it will cost them and their mother? No! I can monitor events this way which is better and safer.An hour later, Frank parked the car smoothly in front of a modest, family house and while I could see it’s a comfortable private home, the state of it got me somehow depressed. It’s as if there’s no warmth in the house. The environs spoke of sadness and neglect, almost as if people weren’t living there but after ge
Christos.What exactly happened to separate them from their daughter? Looking at them now, I no longer find the amnesia story plausible. Could there be more to this?Knowing it’s best to calm down in cases like this, I watched from under a hooded gaze as the woman tried to ascertain the situation while holding on to her husband in a grip that must be hurtful. Yet, the old man did not show any form of pain or flinch.“Josh? What happened? What happened to our baby girl?” Anne Summer’s voice was full of fear and despair as she waited for her husband to give her the news she had hoped she would never hear in her life.“Take a deep breath, Anne. There is nothing wrong with our daughter. At least this gentleman here assured me of that.” Josh Summer’s voice was not as firm as he wished though. Even he’s not certain of anything yet.“You will not lie to me. Will you?” She asked her husband in trepidation, while it’s obvious a part of her thirsted for hope and assurance.“You know the answer
Christos.“My name is Eric Summer. And my sister’s name is Erica Summer.” The boy murmured softly while keeping a noticeable distance between them and the old couple.“Twins? You—you both are twins?” The woman continued with her questioning and I could see the surprise and happiness in her eyes as she realised this. It’s not so surprising that one might assume the boy is older with his sturdier stature.“Yes, we are twins. Eric is the elder and I’m his favourite.” The girl volunteered in a soft and shy voice, and the woman gave a trembling laugh that called to the soul.“As it should be, Erica. I am glad you have a Hero on your side.” She murmured softly and the twins blushed from the approval.“I wish it was the same for your Mum.” The woman finished under her breath and while the twins might not pick up on the words or understand, I did clearly and I gave her a pointed look.‘You and your husband should have been the Hero she needed but you were not there for her. Were you?’ I remin
Becca.Waking up from my nap, I felt revitalised, energized and happy. I have a man who dotes on me and my kids; loves them and pampers them and what is more? He gives me everything I want. Especially satisfaction in the bedroom. Considering my demanding appetite which I had never thought possible, it’s amazing how the man is the perfect handler for it.A true giver, he always makes sure he gives before taking and I love it. I love him for that.‘But you have never really told him how you felt. Have you?’ That constant voice that’s always needling me asked quietly and I stood still beside the bed as I pondered on this.‘But even if it’s true, I am sure the man knows it already without me having to spell it out. It’s obvious in every of my looks and actions.’ I shrugged defensively.‘Well, not really. It’s not a confession and fact until it’s spoken out.’ The voice pointed out and I was a bit miffed about being put on the spot this way.‘Why? If your feeling is true and right, why shou
