Chapter 17

It’s been two years since the incident. Madeline gave brith to twins, a beautiful baby girl and boy. She has matured and grown to be a young woman. Now 18, she lives with her boyfriend Brant and her babies. Brant treats them like his own kids, which they are like. They still live in Florida and Madeline has graduated high school, struggling a bit but she got there. As for Kyle he’s moved on as well. He has a girlfriend named Nora and he’s happy. That doesn’t mean Madeline hasn’t crossed his mind. She has, everyday. He regrets his mistake and wonders what things would be if they had stayed together. He wonders what his children look like or if she even gave birth to them.

“Hey, baby.”Brant greets Madeline by kissing her cheek. They live in a huge house a little bit away from the pack house. The house is big enough for the kids to run around in.

Madeline blushes and pecks his lips.

“Eww!”Edwin and Sofia screech as they see the couple kiss. The couple pull away surprised and they smile.

“Why were you sucking my mommy’s face?”Edwin asked, looking up to Brant. He smiles and bends down, picking Edwin up.

“I was sucking your mommy’s face. I was kissing her. Kissing is a way of showing someone that you love them.”Brant explains. Edwin nods as Sofia’s eyes widen. She runs up to her mother and reaches her arms out for her to be licked up. Madeline picks Sofia up with a smile. Sofia gives her mother a kiss on the cheek and wraps her tiny arms around Madeline’s neck.

“I love you, mommy.”She mumbles. Madeline’s smile widens and she kisses her daughter’s cheek.

“I love you too.”

Edwin huffs and reaches out to his mother too. Madeline chuckles and grabs him. Edwin places his lips on Madeline’s other cheek and follows Sofia.

“I love you more.”Edwin gives his twin sister a smug look. Sofia shakes her head and glares at Edwin.

“No! I love her more.”She argues. Edwin sticks his tongue out at Sofia.

“No, I do!”

“No,I do!”

“Enough, my babies. It’s time to go to bed.”Madeline orders. The twins put but nod. She carries them to the bathroom with the help of Brant and baths them. Brant changes Edwin and Madeline changes Sofia in the their pajamas. The couple carries the kids to their bedroom and tucks them into bed.

“Goodnight kiss?”The twins ask in unison. Madeline smiles and gives them both a kiss on the forehead. Brant stands by the doorway watching them with a smile on his face.

“You too, Brant.”They say. His smile widens and he walks over to them before placing a kiss on their foreheads. Madeline and Brant walk to the the door but is stopped.

“Goodnight, mommy. Goodnight, Brant.”

“Goodnight, Edwin. Goodnight, Sofia.” They say walking out the door, holding hands. The two took a shower together and after they went to bed. As for Kyle, he was with his girlfriend Nora in the pack house.

“I love you.”Nora whispered as they pulled away from their kiss. Kyle sighed and ran a hand through his messy brown hair. Nora frowned at her boyfriend.

“Why don’t you ever say it back?”She asks, hurt. He placed his hands on her tiny waist. Nora was a bubbly blonde with forest green eyes.

“I’m sorry. I just can’t say it.”He mumbled. She pulls away from him, slightly angry.

“But why?”She asked again. Kyle growled in frustration and she shrink back in fear.

“I’ll tell you another time. Stop trying to pry it out of me!”He snarled. She felt tears come to her eyes as she reached out to him. He pulled away farther.

“I-I’m sorry. I j-just want to know why?”

“Leave!”

He ordered, his eyes glowing red. She obeyed and left with tears in her eyes. Kyle punched the wall and stayed there. He closed his eyes and

pictured light blue eyes. He relaxed and continued to picture her face. Her beautiful face. Her smile and how it lit up any room she was in. Her pink plump lips and how they felt against his. He wonders about her and if she is thinking about him too.

Madeline.

He couldn’t get her out of his mind. She was intoxicating. She ran through his mind everyday and memories from that day flashed in his head. He punched the wall once more before bursting into tears. He missed her. So much.

Their lives were so different now. They both thought they would never see each other again. Little did they know they were closer than they thought.

— Madeline’s POV —

“Come on, babe.”Brant tugged on my hand. I followed him with a sigh. We were going to a ball where we would meet packs from different parts of the country. I wasn’t all that excited because I was leaving my babies.

“Do we have to go?”I whined like a child. He shot me a look and pulled me into him. His lips captured mine into a sweet, passionate kiss. I smiled a little into the kiss. We pulled away and I smiled, sadly.

He kissed my forehead,”They will be okay.”

I nodded and forced a smile.

“You’re right. Now come on before I change my mind.”I tugged his arm towards the car, waiting outside for us. I knew if I had stayed there, I would have ran to my mom’s house, calling for Edwin and Sofia. We entered the car and Brant placed his hand on my thigh. His lips were by my ear and rubbed circles into my thigh.

“Did I tell you how sexy you look?”He whispered, huskily and I giggled. His hands trailed up and stopped right below my panties. My breathing hitched and I bit my lip.

“Black is my favorite color.”I closed my eyes and leaned against his shoulder. I was wearing a black dress. It spilt by my thighs and had sliver on it. I paired it with my favorite black heels. That made me 5’9, five inches shorted than Brant. My hair was wavy and half up and half down with a sliver buret holding it together. Once we were there a butler opened the door for us and Brant stepped out first. He held his hand out for me and I smiled, grabbing it. I exited the car and we held his arm from me to take, a smile on his perfect face. I laced my arm with his and we walked into the huge mansion. We were directed to the ballroom where there were many people.

The host was one of the elder’s grandson, Jonathan who greeted us as we entered. He was in his late twenties and had a mate.

“Welcome, Alpha Brant and Luna Madeline.”He smiled warmly. His mate, Miranda was right by his side. He shook hands with Brant and me. I gave Miranda a hug and we left the men to talk. She led me through the crowd of people and stopped by the bar.

“How are the kids?”She asked, sipping on a glass of wine.

“They are great. I was a little worried about leaving them home but I know they would be safe with my mother.”I said, happily. She nodded, giving me a knowing look.

“Thats how I felt tonight. I didn’t want to leave the kids either.”She smiled, sadly. Miranda was a beauty. She had beautiful black hair that was up in a messy but neat bun. She had on a gorgeous pink dress with a pair of sliver heels.

“I want you to meet someone.”Jonathan said, wrapping his arm around Miranda’s waist. I felt a hand on the small of my back. It was Brant. I flashed him a smile which he returned. They led us over to a group of people.

“I would like you all to meet my mate, Miranda and Brant, my best friend along with his mate Madeline.”He introduced us. I looked around at the new face and froze when I met his eyes.
