"I...I..I'll have to think about it." I muttured looking away from his sky blue eyes.
I heard him sigh and walk away. "You're leaving?" I whispered narrowing my eyes on his back. I cringed hearing myself, so weak.
"My wolf.. he's.. I have to leave." He sighed walking back to me. "Please." He whispered kissing my forehead before walking out of my front door.
I frowned and slowly walked to my front door locking it.
'Why did you do that! ' my wolf growled making me cringe.
'We need to make sure he wont hurt our pups' I growled back.
She growled lowly but submitted. She knew our pups were more important than our mate.
"Mommy." I turned away from the door to my twins standing in the hall in their pjs.
"He made you cry." Joey growled narrowing his eyes on my own. Instictively my hand wiped away the unknown tears.
"He would never make mommy cry! He's mommies prince! Right mommy?" Zoey grinned.
I smiled and walked to my babies. "Why are you two awake?" I asked narrowing my eyes on them, avoiding their questions. It would be to hard to explain everything to them right now.
"Zoey came into my room because she had a nightmare." Joey shrugged. Zoey glared at him and elbowed him. "I did not!" She pouted. I laughed and grabbed their hands and lead them into my room.
It was clear that one of them had a nightmare. That means sleepover in mommies room. "Jump in guys." I smiled nodding to my bed.
Immediatly they launched themselves onto my bed. "Be right back." I smiled grabbing a large black shirt that belonged to Jacob before washing my face and brushing my teeth. After I finished I pulled my hair into a bun and pulling on the shirt before walking back into my room.
I pulled back the covers and laid inbetween them. "Goodnight babies." I yawned kissing the both of them on their cheeks before falling into a deep sleep. Caleb could wait. Right now I just had to worry about my kids.
'Bzzz.....Bzzzz.....Bzzzzzz' I groaned and reached over Zoey to grab my annoying phone. "What? " I growled not even bothering to glance at the caller id.
"Aria?" My cheeks pooled red when I realised who I snapped at. "C...Caleb." I stuttured slowly crawling off the bed. Being carful not to wake up Joe and Zoe.
"Come to the door." He simply said before hanging up. I frowned down at mt phone before stumbling out of my room and made my way to the front door.
I slowly opened the door and blushed at the sight in front of me. There stood Caleb in a fitted black t-shirt that showed off his killer bod, and lightwashed levi jeans with black vans. Something so casual only he could make it seem so ... sexy. His brown locks were messy, like it has always been. And his blue eyes shinned with happiness.
"Breakfast." He grinned holding up bags and a tray with two coffees. "Come in." I blushed stepping to the side so he could walk in.
"Are the twins awake yet?" He asked setting down the bags and tray on the kitchen table before turning to face me.
"Uhh, no. They should wake up soon." I blushed pulling down on Jacob's shirt. "Whose shirt is that Ariana." He asked narrowing his eyes on the shirt.
"Mine." I lied. No way in hell would I willingly tell him it was Jacobs. He already thinks I like Jacob. He sighed and rubbed his face. "Sorry." I shook my head and gave him a small smile. "Its okay."
"Nice bed hair." He winked kissing my cheek before making his way into my kitchen. I blushed and smoothed down my hair before following him. I bit my lip at the sight in front of me.
"Scrambled right." Caleb asked glancing to me before going back to cooking. "Yup.... how'd you know? " I askee jumping on the counter behind him, making sure to pull down the shirt to not expose what he shouldnt see... even if he already has.
Gosh Aria bad thought, shoo.
"I remember you used to ask Maggie for scrambled eggs when you would come for breakfast at the pack house." He smiled cracking open an egg before mixing it.
"You remember that? " I whispered. Last time I went there for breakfast was when I was probably ten. He nodded before seperating the eggs into four plates. "I remember everything about you Ari." He smiled sodtly making my heart flutter.
"I know you're obsessed with Strawberries and coffee. You love to cook, you love animals. Your favorite flowers are Yellow Roses and Sunflowers. Your favorite color is blu-" before he could finish I reached over and pulled on his shirt, crashing his soft lips on my own.
I didn't know what I was doing. My brain was shouting at me to stop. He's not safe yet. He'll hurt me if I let him.
But my heart.....
My heart won.
"He's eating mommy! Zoey!" I gasped and pulled away from Caleb. Joey ran and pulled his fist back and started punching Calebs back making him pull his hands away from my thighs were they were hitching up.
"Joey! " I hissed jumping off the counter and wrapping my arms around his waist to pull him away from Caleb. "He was eating your face mommy! I told you he wanted to eat you! " he yelled. My cheeks pooled red again before I sat Joey on the counter before sending a confused Zoey a smile.
"He wasnt ... eating me." I blushed glancing over at an amused Caleb. "I was kissing her." Caleb smiled slowly stepping closer to Joey. "Get away from my mommy." Joey growled glaring at him. "Joey! Be nice." I said sternly. Caleb sighed and turned to Zoey.
"Come on Princess, lets eat." He smiled swooping her up and getting her plate filled with eggs bacon and french toast.
"Why's he here?" Joey pouted crossing his arms. I sighed and leaned my head against his. "Baby he's important to me... and you. Please just be nice." I begged.
He sighed but nodded. I kissed his cheek and put him on the floor. "Now, lets go eat." I smiled grabbing our plates and taking them to the table.
"I'm sorry." Joey mumbled suprising all three of us. Zoey and I knew how joey was. He was stubborn and would never say sorry to anybody. "It's alright little man." Caleb grinned hugging him. I laughed at Joeys horrified expression. "Uh Cale, he dosent do hugs." I laughed scrunching my nose.
"Oh." He chuckled. "Sorry." Joey dashed over to me and sat next to me. "Hurry and eat so we can see Papa Jackson." Immediatly they started eating.
"Doctor Jackson?" Caleb asked frowning. I nodded and stuffed a piece of french toast in my mouth.
"Oh my goodness this is so good!" I moaned getting another bite. Zoey giggled and turned to Caleb and winked at him.
"What was that?" I asked narrowing my eyes at the both of them.
"Nothing!" They both yelled out before stuffing their faces with bacon. Lile father like daughter. I chuckled and went back to my food.
~¤~
After we finished eating we washed our dishes and went into our rooms to get ready while Caleb sat in our livingroom.
We were going to his pack house to visit Jackson.
"Aria, Zoey wants to know where her wolf is." Caleb yelled barging into my room. I let out a startled squeak and covered myself with my robe. "Caleb!" I yelled my cheeks pooling red.
"Sorry!" He yelled covering his eyes. I sighed and tied my robe and let my wet hair out of the twisted towel. "Its under her bed." I murmered my cheeks still burning. He nodded and quickly got out, smaking his toe on the door frame on the way out.
I giggled and pulled on a lacy pink and black bra with matching panties. After that I opened my closet and pulled on a white sleeveless crop top with high waisted jean shorts and white flats.
After that I ran a brush through my hair and decided to let it air dry.
"Mommy hurry I want to see Papa Jackson!" Joey groaned throwing himself on my bed. "I'm almost finished." I chuckled quickly putting some mascara on. "How do I look?" I asked him. "Beautiful." I jumped and turned around to face a smirking Caleb at the doorway. "Th-thank you." I stuttered.
Joey groaned and grabbed my hand pulling me out the door and past Caleb who was chuckling. "Lets go! " Caleb whooped pulling Joey on top of his shoulders.
"Hey! Put me down!" Joey yelled pulling on his hair. I laughed and grabbed my purse and Zoeys hand before following the boys out the door and into my suv.
Today should be fun.
"Papa Jackson!" Zoey squealed as she found him walking around the pack house in his sweats eating a pop tart. "Zoey Joey!" He grinned stuffing the rest of the pop tart into his mouth. I giggled and watched as the twins rushed to him and attacked his legs. "Hey Jackson." I smiled walking up to him and kissing his cheek. "Hello sweetheart. How did you guys like the house?" He asked picking up the twins into his arms. "We loved it." I grinned as the twins immediatly started gushing about their rooms. "Peanuts!" Mariah's voice squealed coming across the room. As soon as their feet were on the ground they rushed to her. "How was Caleb." Jackson whispered. I bit my lip and looked out the window. There he was talking to another pack member. Gosh he was so beautiful. "Aria?" Jackson laughed making me jump in suprise. "I'm guessing everything's okay now." He chuckled making me blush. "I'm seeing if it'll work out." I muttured staring at my feet. "Ariana!" I turned towards the front door
"Ari baby please just ... please call me. I lo-" I pulled the phone away from my ear and pressed the end button, ending the voicemail. "Another call?" My eyes snapped up and met the familiar pair of blue eyes. "Yeah." I whispered staring at the phone in my hand. "What am I supposed to do Jake?" I cried shutting my eyes as tears fell from my eyes. "Oh Ari." He sighed laying next to me on my bed. He pulled my body close to his and ran his fingers through my hair. "Where are the twins?" I asked quickly sitting up. Yesterday I picked them up and brought them back home. They never asked what happened. Its like they could feel it. We laid in bed and watched movies and pigged out on ice cream. After that we decided to sleep. It broke my heart when Zoey cried silently when she thought I fell asleep. My worst fear came true. Caleb hurt my baby. "Quin took them to see the other pack kids." Jake said pulling me back into his arms. I sighed in content as his fingers ran down my back. I bit my
One week. Seven days. One hundred and sixty eight hours... since I've heard from both Caleb and Jacob. Every time I take the twins to see Jackson, Caleb's gone with ... with Sarah. Sarah from highschool. Sarah his girlfriend of seven years. Sarah his fiancee, the future Luna of the Crimson Pack. And Jacob. He's been ignoring me. He doesn't answer my text or calls and he's never at his house. And I feel completely lost without him. He's my anchor when I feel lost, and now he's not here. "Mommy! Hurry we're going to be late!" Joey yelled snapping me out of my depressing thoughts. I quickly threw my hair up in a bun and ran out to the livingroom where Joey was in his Baseball uniform looking incredibly handsome. Just like his father. I grinned down at him and grabbed his baseball cap from the kitchen counter and put it on his head. "You look dashing." I giggled. "Mooom." He groaned walking towards the door. "Wait! We need Zoey!" I gasped rushing to the yellow painted door. "Zoe?"
As I made my way out of the recreation center I dug my cell phone ouy of my purse and scrolled down to the number I've been staring at for the past week. I bit my lip before hesitantly pressing call. Five rings later and his deep voice cane through. "What do you want." I cringed at the harshness but shrugged it off. It wasn't about me. "We need to talk." I stated trying to sound unaffected by his tone. "I dont want to talk to you." He laughed. I laid my hand on my chest as I felt that familiar tug of sadness. But once again I shoved away my feelings and my wolf's pathetic whines. "We need to talk about the twins ... Alpha." Since he was acting like a total dick who wanted nothing to do with me. I decided to call him Alpha. It wasnt a huge deal. But it just reassured him I saw him as nothing but my alpha. "Come to the pack house." He muttured. I nodded jumping into my car. "Okay." I said clearly starting the car hanging up. Twenty minutes later I parked in the pack driveway. I bi
After I picked up the twins we all went to Godfathers Diner. It was a very old diner that had been around since my grandparents were young. And it had been my favorite place since I was a child. "Hello darlings what can I get ya'll?" The waitress grinned pulling out her notepad from her pink and white stripped apron. "Can I have a double cheeseburger with fries?" Joey asked looking at me. I sighed and rolled my eyes but nodded. "Thank you mommy!" I laughed and nodded to Zoey. "I'll have a .... mommy I don't know." She pouted closing her menu. I hummed and glanced down at my own menu. "How about we share a pepperoni pizza?" I asked smiling at the waiting waitress. "Yes!" She cheered. "My mommy and I will have a large peppi pizza." She told the waitress handing her all three of our menus. "Coming right up sweetie." The waitress chuckled putting away her notepad and taking the menus."You have some lovely children." She sighed before skating away. I smiled and turned to face my kids
"Mommy." I groaned and wrapped my arms around the familar small waist pulling Zoey down and wrapping my arms around her. "Mommy!" She giggled. "Shhh mommy's tired." I yawned hiding my face deep in my covers. "But mommy Auntie Quin's here." She whispered combing my hair back to see my face. I peeked open one eye to see a freshly showered Zoe in her ballet outfit. "What time is it?" I squealed throwing the covers off of us and jumping off the bed. Since the sheets were tangled around my feet I ended up falling face down on to my beige carpet. "Mommy you're silly." Zoey giggled before gracefully jumping off the bed. "She clearly didn't get her balance from you." My neck snapped to the familar blonde girl who was leaning against my door frame eating a red apple. "Where the hell have you been!" I yelled jumping on my feet and crossing my arms. "Goodmorning to you too sunshine." She snorted rolling her eyes. I glared at her until she sighed and plopped down on my bed. "Zoe why don't yo
~I was in a beautiful meadow with bright flowers blooming everywhere. I felt happy, so content. "Mommy!" Two familiar voices squealed out. I turned making the grass bend at my feet. And there they were, my twins. They laughed out as someone wrapped their arms around them picking them off floor. "No! Mommy save us from daddy!" Joey yelled through his laughing fit. A smile spread on my face as I wobbled over to them. "Which one do you want. I think this one has more meat, Alpha's should get the most meat." Caleb hummed as he lifted Joey a bit higher. "No mommy he's going to eat me!" Joey let out a strange mix of a giggle and laugh as Caleb playfully bit his tummy. "You can have him I want her. She looks juicy!" I let out a wicked laugh before grabbing Zoey and attacking her tummy with kisses. "Mommy stop it!" She giggled. I laughed and set her on her feet. The twins took off and started to chase each other. "Soon we'll have another pup running around like a maniac." Caleb chuckled
The look on her face screamed panic. Her heart beat picked up, and I could even see sweat pooling on her forehead.Jackson was right."How could you hide something like this from me mother." I whispered glaring down at the white sheet that laid on my legs. I had to look away from her pleading deep brown eyes. My mother was a fragile woman and I knew if I took one glance into her eyes I would forgive her."He is your father Ariana!" She snapped making me look up at her in shock. Her eyes were glazed with unshed tears but the anger was clear. And that angered me.How could she be angry, when she lied to me !"Stop lying to me!" I screamed clenching my fist together. I deeply breathed in trying to control my anger. I wouldn't want my wolf to lash out right now, not when my twins were outside. Not when my mother was standing a couple feet away from me."Do not yell at me Ariana Rosette Belle!" she growled before brushing her shirt off and sitting on Caleb's chair."Please just tell me the
