Christos.Seeing that prolonging this will do none of us any good, I stood to my feet. But no matter how displeased she’s with my presence, I would not leave without saying hello to my kids.I don’t think they are aware of what I am to them but it’s obvious they knew something was going on. Something that’s tearing each and everyone of us apart and while a part of me wished I could lay the blame on their mother’s feet, I know her only crime is stubbornness.If there is anyone to be blamed for all these then I’m the guilty party.“I would love to say hi to the kids before I leave.” I requested slowly and even though she had said earlier that I would always have access to the kids, judging from her stubborn expression now, I am ready to hit down her objection but in accordance to her style, she proved me wrong by nodding softly.Gazing around the room that will fit ten times into my private closest, I felt a displeasure in my chest.Remembering how on our wedding day, I promised to cher
Christos.I could feel my wolf in there crying and also asking me to forgive him.And since I am also a man who needed forgiveness badly, who am I not to forgive him? Especially when I have also missed my spirit companion?Granting his request, I gazed into my woman’s heart with the hope that one day, she would find it in her heart to forgive me also.After exchanging a few more words with the kids, I stood up again to leave but before I did, I surreptitiously placed an envelope on the table, hoping to convince her that everything I had said earlier was nothing but the truth. While she seemed to believe my long ago explanation for that eventful night, I could see in her eyes that she was finding it hard to believe the other things I had said about the investigation and having anticipated that earlier, I came with something to convince her.Hopefully, it will show her I’m not as bad a beast as she seems to believe!Placing a soft kiss on the twins’ heads with another promise to be in
Becca.“Oh I am sorry, Baby. I am so sorry we disappointed you. Please, don’t send us away, please.” Anne Summer kept begging softly and even though I did not return her embrace, I did not reject it either as I stood ramrod straight in her arms. But what confounded me greatly was the lightness I could feel taking over a part of my heart that had been so dark and heavy for ages.What in Judas' name is going on here?Some minutes or could it be an hour of crying and talking later, I sat opposite my parents still without saying anything with my eyes almost popping out of their sockets.Did I hear them correctly? They had actually not meant that I should leave the house when they ordered me? They were just angry and trying to show me the errors of my ways by trying to show me how disappointed they were?‘But how is that possible when they had disowned me and ordered me to leave?’But how can I not believe them when the evidence of their grief and search were in front of me? Glancing towa
Becca.I wanted my parent's forgiveness but even though I have suffered and gone through a lot in the past seven years since I left home, a part of me feels so guilty, as if I’m getting their forgiveness too easily.“Of course we forgave you a long time ago. We are here because it is your forgiveness we need. As parents who should know better, we should have handled it better. We should never have threatened to disown you when we did not mean it.” My mother’s voice recalled me back to the present as she accepted their roles in the play of things quietly in tears and I could hear the sniffles my father could not hide.Wrapping my arms more tightly around them, I felt the frailness of their bodies and I felt a wrenching pain in my heart. And it was in this position my friend and kids walked in, having forgotten to lock the door after the surprise I got from my parents.To my greatest surprise, I was immensely shocked when my kids immediately looked at my parents and then ran to them in
Becca.That particular day? You mean Christos had gone to my parents with the kids while telling me to have a deep nap? And to think it was the same day I came across the hidden pendant? Wow, just wow!Which pops the question. ‘Would he have told me about that visit if we had not fought and I left?’‘Considering the length he went to, to make sure I did not suspect anything, I doubt it.’ A voice answered and I gave a little frown which my son intercepted correctly.“We were not trying to hide anything from you Mum. As a matter of fact, our plan was to help you recover from the amnesia by giving your parents back to you. But first, we had to judge the situation, check if they are good grandparents that deserve our love and then surprise you with them.” Eric murmured softly and I did not know how to feel about that confession.They had truly believed in the amnesia story and thought to help me remember my family? What did I do to deserve such kids as wonderful as these?“And that’s the
Becca.Ever since we moved back to our old house, Christos Fernandez has been to our home more times than I cared to count either to take the kids out or to say a quick hello to them and my parents and just like the old days of courtship, I found myself hiding in my room until I knew the coast was clear. Of course, every time I did this, my mother always looked at me sympathetically while shaking her head at the same time, as if she still did not understand why I was causing myself so much pain when all I had to do was accept the man back in our lives.While I had made it plain I have forgiven the man for what happened seven years ago, I refused to discuss the other topic with him or any other person. To explain the main reason I was going through hell and agony. How do I explain to my parents what my eyes saw that day? And how in hell do I even expect them to understand?And the kids? How do I tell them I am not only married to a werewolf but that they might also be a werewolf? Dios!
Becca.“Don’t you think you have to see a doctor, darling? You have been at this for awhile now” My mother murmured softly and this got the attention of the others at the dining table. I cringed when I felt their concern on my face. The last thing I want them to think is that I was dying but how to convince them I am not at death’s door when it feels like it?“Are you feeling sick, Mum?” Erica murmured softly and having tried my best to hide it from them all day, I did not appreciate having to admit to the truth now.“Hmm I don’t think it’s anything serious, my darlings. Mum is just experiencing mild pains in her head and chest.” I tried to play down how I was feeling with an assuring smile but I knew I failed when neither of the kids returned my smile. Oh sh!t“Should we call Dad so he can take you to the hospital?” My son was already getting up as he proposed this and I could see my Dad nodding in support. Mustering the little energy I had left, I bent to the side to stop my son. Ho
Becca. All these thoughts were going through my head when it finally dawned on me that apart from their sharp intakes when I asked the question, the two men in front of me had uttered no words of confirmation or disagreement. What’s going on? I opened my eyes to give them a peek from under my lashes and I saw the shock on their faces but when the other man, Frank caught my gaze he finally gave a little cough before offering a sympathetic smile. “I’m sorry if we gave the wrong impression Ma’am. Of course the Alpha isn’t dead, we aren’t here to announce his demise, I’m sorry if you thought otherwise.” He quickly tried to allay my fear but by then, it was too late. After an intense relief at this news came a blistering anger and I glared at both of them wrathfully. “How dare you walk in here with those expressions and make me fear the worst had happened?” I asked coldly of them and it felt as if they bowed their heads in shame. But only for a moment because almost immediately, the a
