What do you want me to do? Just say no when he asks to see them. He’s their dad,” | snapped, turning my icy glare on him. He didn’t understand my position. David wanted me to cut Ellis out, but that couldn’t happen now, not when children are involved. It would be
easier if they didn’t know about him at all. | didn’t know how to make
it clearer to David.
“| know, | know, I’m just jealous that he’ll be around now,” he murmurs, kissing my forehead, his lips lingered. | pulled away. “Don't be jealous of Ellis. He is not a part of my life like that anymore,
“I told him.

have done it inside the office?
Jace caught me before | could make up my mind. “Hi, Lovie. | see you're ready to go out with Lilac,” he beamed.
| only nodded and walked towards him.
Love, congratulations, | heard you're a mother, | couldn’t tell since you haven’t changed one bit,” Charlotte seemed shocked and disturbed. Is this what they were talking about earlier? | didn’t answer
Charlotte.
“| just learned about my mate’s ... Children minutes ago, from
pictures he took of them on his phone... | saw yours too,” She giggled. There was no humor in her laugh. Tears filled her eyes. It was pathetic to watch. Ellis exhaled.
“Don’t go through my f ucking phone again,” he growled dangerously.
You and your family didn’t have the decency to tell me about your new children, and what you're worried about is that | snooped through your phone, Ellis??” she snapped.
Excuse me,” | said, heading for the elevator. | was about to dial the button when Charlotte stopped me.

“| owe you nothing. I’ve said it before, and I'll say again, Charlotte “I spat. She glared at me, and | glared back. However, Charlotte co maintain eye contact with me.

Charlotte, | don’t care about you or him. There’s no gimmick, and would be a relief if you kept YOUR precious mate from my children,” told him. Ellis’ angry gaze snapped to me.

| bit my lower lips, furious. Ellis was right. | had chances to tell him, but | didn’t because | loathed him and wanted to somehow punish him. It was selfish on my part, but | won’t admit it.
“You chose Ellis, and it wasn’t me. By doing so, you relinquished any rights to them,” | said slowly, looking him in the eye. | glanced at Charlotte who had a new victorious smile on her lips.

You shouldn't have left, and | didn’t choose her!” he pointed at Charlotte, her smile vanished. | saw contempt and annoyance in Ellis’ gaze when he glanced at her.

“You made that choice for me, and you were f ucking wrong to do that! “I couldn’t stand the pain in his eyes. So, | did what | did best; walking away. The elevator opened, but Ellis followed me and pushed

| was losing control of my emotions again. | attempted to get out, but
he gripped my arm. He furiously pressed buttons and the elevator.
What do you think you’re doing?” asked, angry. He was breathing heavily.
Why don’t you want me in their lives? I’m their father, and we were all alright in the morning. What changed?” he asked.
“| don’t want to confuse the children. They might think we are a
normal family and be expectant of other things only to be disappointed. They are too young,” | said, rubbing my temple. He chuckled, h e f u cking chuckled, and it was cruel.
Confusing the kids... Just which birdy whispered in your ear? Let me guess, David. He threw a jealousy tantrum, and he told you this would confuse the kids, and you listened. Since when does he have so much power over your life, Love,” a
Was | doing it to pacify David’s jealousy from earlier? | knitted my
eyebrow at my actions. | let out a sigh from my mouth, unable to produce words. | noticed the elevator wasn’t stopping, and | wanted it
to.
He means to deceive you, Love. These are our children, and | should be in their lives as much as possible. | want to raise them with you now,” he said sincerely. | looked everywhere but at him, remaining
quiet.
Do you know what we'll confuse them? Not seeing me after | made promises to be there for them. | can’t change what happened, and I’m sorry about it, but if you try to keep me from my children because of your hate towards me, I'll fight you in court, and it will be messy,” With that said, he dialed a button, and the elevator stopped immediately He walked out without another glance at me. My knees gave up. H aura is still swirling around. It was dark and pressing. He was ang at me for saying he should stay away from the twins.
| was inhaling-In and out. | got to my feet as the elevator reached th ground floor and went to my car. The driver was waiting. He took me deep into the city, to a hotel where my two best friends were waiting for me. My elevator scene with Ellis was playing in my head. He was right about most things, | had no right to ask him to stay away.
We reached the hotel in fifteen minutes, and | rushed to the lobby to
get my room card. On my way to the room, | bumped into a cart as |

Love,” he exhaled. | knitted my eyebrows in confusion. He knew me, but | didn’t know him. He carefully placed me on my feet, and | murmured.
“Thank you,” he was looking at me with peculiar interest.
“You're welcome, Love,” he said my name fondly again in his smooth English accent. His gaze made me uneasy, and his vibe was dangerous and cun ning. There was something wrong about this man.
How do you know my name?” | asked politely.
I'd like to think of us as a family now. I’m part of the Carter lineage,” he said. However, | didn’t know this man. | knew everyone in the
family.
Oh, what is your name?” | inquired. He seemed to be in deep thought before answering.
“Maleck Carter,” he extended his hand to me. | didn’t shake it immediately. I'd heard about this man. He was Ellis’ cousin and ha been causing trouble for them. He thinks he deserves to be alpha since he’s older, and his father was supposed to, but Alpha Blan took the position.
“| see from the look on your face that you’ve heard about me,” he said. My phone rang, and Lilac’s name popped up on the screen. They were getting impatient.
Excuse me, | should get going,” | said and moved past him. He followed me with his gaze. | could feel it burn through me, and a cold shiver went throughout my body. Maleck waved as the elevator closed, and | exhaled. | went to the top floor, my thoughts on Maleck.

He didn’t seem as vicious as the story I’d heard, but there was an evil aura around him that made one conscious of his presence. | opened the hotel room with my keycard and found racks of clothes.
Guys, isn’t this a little too much,” | laughed, going to the balcony
where they were. Lilac and Luis were already there, drinking. | kissed them and shook my as s to the music playing.
“4
And isn’t it too early?” | asked, picking up the glass of champagne content and gulping it.
Just a jumpstart,” Lilac said, pulling me to sit on the sofa close to
her.
