We stepped outside of the car and I was pulled into a bear hug by Fred.
“Madeline, I missed you so much!”He squeezed me tightly. I couldn’t even hug him back because my arms were trapped. Soon he let go of me and turned to Kyle with a smile.”Alpha Kyle.”
I smiled and remembered that the twins were still in the car. I opened the back door and unbuckled them. I placed Sofia on the floor and held Edwin in my arms. Sofia latched onto my leg as she hide behind them. They were shy. I looked at everyone’s surprised face and smiled, weakly.
“Daddy?”Edwin says and Kyle’s eyes snap to his.”Who are these people?”He tries to whisper but everyone can hear him.
Kyle smiles and takes Edwin from my arms and I take Sofia in mine. She puts her face into my neck and wraps her little arms around my neck.
Bella and Paul walks towards us. Sofia whimpers in my ear and Kyle turns to me worried.
Kyle’s POV
I hear Sofia whimper and I look at her. My baby girl looks scared. I frown and hold on to Edwin.
“Madeline, you look gorgeous!”My mother exclaims and goes to pull Madeline into a hug but realises that Sofia is there.”You had twins?”
Madeline smiles her beautiful smile and nods.”Yeah.”She stares lovingly at Edwin and Sofia. I want to pull her in my arms but I remember she belongs to someone else. Someone who wouldn’t hurt her.
“What are their names?”
“This is Sofia and that’s Edwin.”She introduces them with a wide smile. We walk inside of the pack house and Madeline goes to greet everyone.
“Mommy?Daddy? Can Sofy and me play outside?”Edwin says, pouting up at us. Sofia is right next to him, copying his actions. They look so adorable.
“How can I say no?”Madeline, leans down and tickles their bellies making them giggle.”Alright but don’t go to far. Fred, can you watch them for me?”
He nods and follows the kids as they race outside to the garden.
“They are too cute!”My mother says excitedly. I nod, proudly.”Are you two back together?”
There is a slightly silence. That is until I break it.
“No, we’re not.”Something snaps inside of me and I leave the room. I can’t do this. She has to be mine. She is mine. I walked to the side of the pack house and ran my hand over my face, exhaling loudly. I heard footsteps close and saw Madeline. She looked worried.
“What was that about?”She leans against the side of the pack house. It was shady but a beam of light was hitting the side of her face. Her hair looked lighter and her eyes were brighter. I couldn’t help myself. Next thing I knew I slammed her against the wall with my lips placed on hers. She kisses back immediately and her hands go around my neck as mine go to her waist.
I miss her lips. They felt so good on mine. I couldn’t deny the happiness in my heart. My wolf was jumping and howling. I knew that almost everyone in the pack house could hear me. In realisation she pulls away and looks frighten. Her hand goes to her now swollen pink lips and her blue eyes were wide.”That shouldn’t have happened. I’m with Brant!”
I growl angrily and take a step back.”Why don’t you understand, Madeline? We are meant to be and you can’t deny that you didn’t feel anything!”I yelled, frustrated and ran a hair through my messy brown hair.
“If we’re meant to be then why did you cheat on me?!? This would have never happened!”She shouts and her face turns a little red with anger.
“I told you I’m sorry. It was the biggest mistake of my life! Don’t you think I regret my decision every second of the day? I regret hooking up with Kaylee for my own pleasure and it was the worst feeling because no one can make me feel like you do. I regret not treating you like I should have as my mate. I regret not being there when you delivered the twins. I regret all of it, Madeline. Why won’t you understand?”I calm down a bit and notice the vulnerability in my voice. I was begging. I want her back so much. If I have to get down on my knees and beg for her I would, I wouldn’t even have to think about it in a second.
Her tears were clouded with tears.”I understand now but what about Brant? I can’t just leave him. He’s been there for me and sacrificed a lot. Why should I go back to you?”
“I love you, Madeline.”My voice just above a whisper. She smiles through her tear and wipes the stray tears on her cheek.
“I love you too, Kyle.”
