His Mate, His Girlfriend

Chapter 23

Jace,” his tone was monotone.

What are you doing here, and whose kid is she?” Jace asked. | observed the man’s face, and | recognized him now. He was Love's childhood friend. Why was he here? Was he with Love?This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“| brought my kids to the aquarium,” he answered with a duh tone.

“Kids?” Just as Jace asked, a boy appeared. | didn’t notice because

he was standing a few paces behind me. His face was painted like his sister’s, but those eyes... the sterling grey eyes were too familiar...

Like Ours,’ Lias said, intrigued. | moved closer to the boy in a daze, he was glaring at me. Did he think | hurt his sister? Luis suddenly came in front of him protectively..

Stay where you are. You’re making him upset,” He all but growled. What the fuck did | do?

How dare you growl at him. Do you know who he is?!” Charlotte stepped forward, she had a habit of getting involved in issues that

didn’t concern her.

“Don’t come close, or I'll deform that unimpressive face, you little fox, you little b... You know what, | won’t waste my time on you, and as for your mate. | don’t care who tf he is,” Luis looked at her with disgust, and Charlotte gasped at the insult. | was stunned to speak a word. Did they know each other?

“Luis, we are not-” Jace started, but he raised his hand towards him.

We should leave. It’s suddenly crowded in here, and the smell of FISH is getting to me,” he snarled, glaring at Charlotte. Charlotte took dangerous steps towards Luis, but | grabbed her hand.

| was restraining my anger towards Luis because of the kids here. Luis hasn't liked us since we were kids, but this was on a whole new

level.

Luis, do you talk to Love?” Jace asked, keeping his tone as friendly as possible even though it wasn’t what he was feeling. A low growl of jealousy erupted from Charlotte at the mention of Love. The little girl in Luis’ arms lifted her head and peeked at me before hiding her head again. My eyes sought out the boy He was watching me. My heart was acting weird, and so was my lycan. What was wrong with me?

“| speak to her sometimes,” Luis said, grabbing the boy’s hand and

walking away.

He doesn’t know us,” my heart ached when the girl said that. The boy glimpsed at me as they disappeared, leaving my heart unsettled. Those eyes, their scents, and their hair were too familiar.

“That was strange,” Murmured Charlotte.

Even as we sat to eat, | was thinking of those kids. | could tell Jace

was too.

“Who the fuck does that man think he is to talk down on me like that?

Charlotte bellowed, “I’m the future Luna of the Grey Lycan Pack,” a

| see Luis’ still keeping a grudge all these years,” Jace murmured.

Find out what you can about Luis,’ | said through the mind link. | didn’t want Charlotte to hear what | ordered. She might make a fuss. She was triggered earlier just at the mention of Love.

David, You’re Back

Love

| didn’t know how to comfort her now. My baby was lying on her side, crying. She had been like this since they returned from the Aquarium. Luis told me what happened and their encounter with Ellis. She was excited to see him, but when he didn’t recognize her, not that I’m blaming him because he didn’t even know he was a Dad.

“I'm sorry, baby. I'm sure Daddy has been through a lot on Mars,” |

said.

He hates me,” she sobbed. | sat on the bed and cradled her in my

arms.

No, he doesn’t, babe,” | cooed.

Then why didn’t he recognize me? Why didn’t he come to us when he returned,” she hyperventilated between so bs. How do | tell her that he doesn’t know he is a father, that | didn’t dare to tell him about them

when | found out | was pregnant?

“He is confused, babe,” | fibbed. | was feeling guilty for the lies.

| managed to comfort her until she fell asleep. | glanced at Luis. He was worried about her.

Should | have told them the truth?” | asked, now regretting my lies.

They are too young, Sweetheart. You will when they are older,” he expressed, throwing an arm around me as we went to Cayden’s room. | wanted to see how he was doing with all this.

But what if they run into him again?”

“Today will never happen again,” he assured me. However, | doubted

that the city was big yet they met.

| opened Cayden’s room. He was lying on his side too, facing the wall. | could tell he was awake by his heartbeat, but he wasn’t ready to talk about it now. Cayden wasn’t too vocal with his feelings, especially when he was upset. We were working on it. | kissed his hair and turned off the night light before leaving his bedroom.

| was preoccupied at work the following days with the app. | was in the hallway from the lab when | saw none other than Charlotte come out of Ellis’ office.

‘Man stealing c unt,’ Vee sneered.

| didn’t hate Charlotte for taking my boyfriend from me. | did at first, but not anymore. | acknowledged that it was Ellis’ choice to be with her. | was vexed that she slept with him knowing how | felt. We were friends, and I’d never have done that to her had the positions been

reversed.

It took her a moment to notice me, and she gasped, her eyes widening in horror.

Love,” she breathed. She was pale suddenly. | scowled, looking at her appearance. She wore a short black skirt, a nude shirt, and pink heels. Her hair was just like | did mine before | switched to the long

bob cut.

Charlotte,”

She forced a smile on her lips as she slowly approached me.

“Love, what are you — You're back? When and why. Most importantly, what are doing in my mate’s company?” she asked. Her voice was unsteady.

Which question should | answer first? — Oh wait, | don’t owe you an

explanation to your questions,” | said calmly, folding my arms and staring at her. She was uncomfortable by my stare.

She put her hand on her hip, her eyes flashing red. | narrowed my gaze on her.

You have no business here. You need to leave,” Charlotte wasn’t confident as she uttered the words but was trying to be.

“| do have business here, actually,”

The employees were peeking at us. Michael was the first one to get out of his office. He must have mind-linked Ellis, and Jace because they came out next. Charlotte smiled and strutted to Ellis, wrapping her arms around his waist. My heart sank.

Baby, you didn’t tell me Love is here,” she said, looking up at him with a pout. | rolled my eyes at her annoying little voice. It wasn’t as cute as she thought it was. Okay, maybe | was just being jealous. Ellis stared at me intently, not hugging back the woman clinging to him.

like a leech.

Not talking to anyone, | turned to walk back to my office when David appeared right in front of me. He had a rose in hand and a smile on

his face.

“You're back,” | smiled back at him. He kissed my lips tentatively.

When | kissed him back, he gained confidence, and he held my waist. through the kiss.
