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
Becca.Amazing! Really amazing what this man has done for himself and the people he said are his family. But considering his Mum and Dad only had him, I can’t help but wonder how he got all these people as family. I’m not even sure he knows them all judging from the set of people I see going and coming every hour every time I glance through the big window. And according to him, not everyone is allowed at the main building, others have their own houses scattered around. Which means there are still more people I’m yet to meet, even though by now, it seems I have met more than a thousand of them.Which brought me back to that book. ‘The lives of Wolves outside the human world.’ What exactly is that supposed to mean? I found myself wondering again but at the last minute when my mind was almost taking me to where I didn’t know, I quickly snapped back my attention. Like I said earlier, I would wait till I can understand the situation clearly, without jumping to conclusions.Finished with t
Christos.I did not wait for my Beta to put the car into Park before I ran out of the car and into the house. It was when I was almost at the stairs that I remembered to mind-link him to be in charge of the kids and not let them come close to the suite until I gave the order.From the moment we entered the pack’s land, I could feel the wave of sadness and tension in the air and I did not need my wolf’s prowling to know that something was indeed wrong and it had to do with my mate. I would not want the kids to be a part of it if it’s something serious. They might not be of my blood but I love them just as if they are mine and I will do anything to protect them from harm.I could perceive my mate’s scent around the pack house, so, I knew it was not the case of the enemy coming in to kidnap her. From what I could feel, she’s physically fine. Emotionally was what I couldn’t ascertain and even as I wondered what was going on, I could feel my heart beating painfully in its place.‘Somethin
Christos. The hoarse laugh that came from her lungs was the last thing I was expecting. “Oh yes, explain Christos. Explain how I got to be raped by you, despite my pleading for you to stop. I want to know how everything happened, especially the part where my parents disowned me just because of your loathsome lack of control.” Her voice was hard as she uttered those words and each word sent a pin to my heart Before I could put in a word, she interrupted again and I crumpled totally. “And oh yes, lastly, don’t forget to explain how I suddenly found myself pregnant with kids whom I never thought I would know their father. How I carried their pregnancy with shame and constant pains in my heart and soul knowing I was a disgrace to my parents and community. How I couldn’t even deliver them through normal delivery and had to endure caesarean section at my age. Explain, oh please explain it all okay?” She dropped coldly into the silence and I suddenly found my feet unable to hold my weight
