Tate pov

Nicole came to stand beside me. She didn't say anything. Neither did I. We just stood there in the doorway and watched our son describe exactly what Sophia had said and done and how he had responded, she was standing close enough that our arms were almost touching.

"He's going to replay this for weeks," she said, very quietly. "He might be traumatized. This is too much for both of them, especially Maple."

"Good," I said. "Means he's processing it."

She glanced at me. "That's surprisin

    Nicole pov "Your face is big," Rosy said, pinching his other cheek with a tiny smile. "I like it. You have a superhero face.""Do I?" Tate laughed again, his dark eyes shining with a happiness I had never seen in him before. He leaned his head down, letting her play with his face. "I think I am just a regular guy, but I will be a superhero for you any day.""No, you are big and loud," Maple added, leaning over Tate's shoulder. "Like a big bear!""A big bear who loves you very much," Tate whispered, his voice catching slightly. He looked up at me over the tops of their heads.Watching them sit together in the warm light, a heavy wave of sadness and guilt hit me deep inside. I had spent so many months running away. I had spent years being terrified of what would happen if Tate found out about them. I had hidden them in the dark, keeping them away from their own father because I was scared. I had denied my beautiful children this pure, perfect happiness for so long, and seeing them no

    Nicole's POVI led the twins down the quiet hall, my hands resting gently on their small shoulders. They moved slowly, their little bodies wrapped tight in the oversized blankets Marlon had given them. Maple held his plastic cup of apple juice with both hands, taking small, careful steps so he would not spill a single drop.I opened the door to my apartment and pushed it wide. "Inside, cutie pies," I whispered softly.They walked into the bright, warm living room. The heavy blankets trailed behind them on the clean floor. They climbed onto the big, soft sofa together, sinking deep into the cushions."Okay, my loves," I said, kneeling right in front of them and tucking the blankets around their bare toes. "We are home now. The bad lady is gone. The scary day is over. What do you want to do next? You get to pick."Rosy looked at the tall bookshelf near the window. "I want my animal book," she said, her voice still a little shaky. "The one with the big pictures of the lions and the furry

"That's surprisingly coherent for someone who just had his hand around a woman's throat.""I've had time to think," I said.She was quiet for a second. Then, without looking at me: "Thank you. For being already moving before the call came through.""You don't have to thank me for saving my own kids," I said, my voice deep and steady.Nicole turned her head to look at me. "I do, Tate. You didn't hesitate. Not even for a second.""They are my blood, Nicole. I will always move for them. I will always move for you."

    Tate's POVI stayed in the room until Reyes's team had what they needed, until Sophia was cuffed and walked out. I stayed because leaving felt wrong, because my body had not yet received the information that the emergency was over.Marlon and Amber came into the hallway. Amber looked past me into the room, her eyes wide. When she saw the twins, she let out a loud breath and rushed inside."My cutie pies!" Amber cried, dropping to her knees.Maple and Rosy ran straight into her arms, their little legs moving fast. Amber gathered them up, hugging them so tight her knuckles turned white. She pulled back slightly, her hands shaking as she touched Maple’s face. She saw the bright red, swollen slap marks on his cheek."Oh, look at your poor face," Amber whispered, her voice breaking. She reached into her bag and pulled out a small first-aid cream and a clean cloth. "Let me fix this. See my cutie face? Let me put some cream on it to make the boo-boo go away. You are so brave, Maple. So brav

    "Mummy, look at me," Maple sobbed, his tiny hands clawing at her shirt as he pointed a shaking finger toward the wall. "The mean lady... the mean lady hit my face! It hurts, Mama. It hurts really bad." Rosy lifted her wet face from Nicole's neck, her little chest hitching as she wailed. "The mean lady beat Maple! She hit his back too! She is mean, Mama! She is so mean to my brother!" Tate looked down. He saw the angry red handprint swelling on his three-year-old son’s face. He saw the blood. In an instant, the last thread of Tate’s human restraint snapped entirely. His dark eyes went pitch black as Storm surged forward, taking complete control of his senses. A terrifying, low rumble vibrated from his chest—a sound so primal and full of alpha rage that the security guards in the hallway froze in their tracks. Tate crossed the small room in three massive strides. Before Sophia could even move, his right hand flew out. A vicious, open-handed slap cracked across her face, throwing

    At two forty-seven, Petra finally looked up from her phone. The wooden bench near the hedge was empty. The gravel path was empty."Maple? Rosy?" she called out, her voice rising in pitch. She walked a few steps into the grass, her eyes wide as she scanned the dense boxwood hedges. "This isn't funny! Where are you guys?"Silence answered her. The side gate was shut, but when she checked the handle, it rattled loosely. Panic slammed into her chest. She scrambled for her radio, her fingers slick with sweat as she hit the speed dial for the nursery desk. "I lost them. I turned around for one second and the Carter twins are gone from the east garden. They aren't here!"The nursery desk operator didn't hang up. She patched the emergency alert straight to the third-floor biology labs.Amber Cole picked up her phone on the first ring, her eyes widening as she listened. She didn't even say goodbye to the senior researcher standing next to her. She slammed her laptop shut, her chair screeching

    TATE'S POV Nicole had been unusually quiet for days. I noticed. I notice everything — Caesar made sure of that from the time I was old enough to stand. That morning she handed me the wrong tie. Her fingers moved too fast and her eyes didn't meet mine. Storm flagged her scent immediately, somethin

  • Reject Me, Alpha Tate   Chapter 5

    Nicole's POVThe next morning, I was cleaning Tate office study, gathering papers from the edge of the desk into a neat stack without reading them, because reading Tate's documents was one of the few transgressions he had made explicitly clear he would not forgive. But the highlighted text caught

    Nicole's POV The banquet hall was full by the time I took my seat beside Tate, candlelight running the length of the table and every chair occupied by someone who mattered politically. I had worn the dark green dress Tracy had approved two seasons ago conservative, appropriate, nothing that invited

    Nicole's POV I stared at the test with two lines. I had read enough books to know what they meant, I was pregnant. I was carrying Tate’s child. At first I felt shocked, I couldn’t think straight. I just stared at the test, lost. Then I calmed down as small hope grew inside me, he had always said h
