“I used you flannel that had your scent all over it and she must have smelt it or something.”I explained with a slightly sad look. He looked confused.”I understand if you want to leave me for her. She’s your second chance mate, you’re suppose to be together.”
He cupped my cheek and kissed me gently.”I will never leave you, Madeline. I love you way to much.”
I nodded with tears in my eyes.”I’m sorry but I’m still in love with Kyle.”
I watch as his expression changed from loving to anger. He let go of my cheek and ran a hand through his perfectly brown hair.
“I understand but I love you and I can’t help it. I’m always going to choose you Madeline. Why won’t you choose me?”He says desperately. Tears run down my cheeks and I shook my head.
“I can’t help. I feel pulled to him but I can’t do anything about it. It hurts. I want you too. I love both of you.”I sobbed and violently wiped the tears under my eyes.
His eyes soften and let out a loud sigh.”I knew this was going to happening. I know, baby. I know you can’t help it. I’m being selfish. I-I just want you all to myself. I wish I was your mate instead of him. You should go back to him, Madeline.”
My eyes widen with shock.”Brant, I love you and I know I should be with him but I still want you in my life. I’ve grown close to you and so has the kids. How about you meet your second chance mate and we’ll still be friends?”
He bit his bottom lip and nodded. Then he engulfed me into a hug. My hands with attached to him. Never in a million year, I thought that Brant and I would break up. I always thought that Kyle would find a new girl and I would be married to Brant and have his kids. I guess this is our fate.
Brant is now free from me and he can go to his mate. I can go to mine. I smiled into his chest.”I guess your gonna want to meet her.”
He pulls away with an unsure look.”Yeah, maybe, I don’t know.”I give him a shocked look.
“What do you mean you don’t know?!”
“I mean I don’t know if I’m ready for her as yet. We just broke up. She may be my mate but I can’t fall in love with her that easily.”He explains with a huff. I run my temples as an idea comes to me.
“Why don’t you and I go to Kyle’s pack in a few days? We can bring the kids and everything. If you like your mate then you take her back with you.”I suggest and he thinks about it.
He nods.”But what about you and Kyle?”He says his name with a grimace, making me smile the tiniest bit.
“I’ll probably settle down with Kyle and we’ll see where it goes from there.”I say and everything goes silent. We both take a seat on the edge of the bed.”I still can’t believe that this is it.”
He nods in a agreement.”Me too. I thought we would be together forever but I guess that’s why everyone has a mate. This was destined to happen.”
“Yeah. I guess everything is gonna be different now.”
— Kyle’s POV —
two days later.
She left me. Again.
Of course she did. After what you did to her. Till this day my wolf still growls at me about what happened.
That was years ago.
It doesn’t change the fact that we lost our mate. I didn’t even get a chance to talk other before she left.
I cut the mind link and rose up from my bed. I need to go for a run. I walked out of the house and into the woods shifting into my wolf. I don’t know long I ran for but it was a really long time until I smelt the most amazing scent ever. I ran to it immediately with a wolffish grin on my face.
There she was, standing there with a beautiful smile on her face.
Madeline. My wolf purred with joy as she smiled at us. I looked next to her to she him.
Why is she with him?
She must have noticed my anger towards him and walked over to us. I went down on my paws and she ran a hand through my fur.
“Kyle, it’s okay. Brant came for his mate. You and I are going to be together.”She smiled. I got up and ran back into the woods, behind a tree. I put on a pair of basketball shorts and ran back out to Madeline, holding her in my arms.
“Am I dreaming?”I muttered into her heart. I must be dreaming. I’ve had this dream a lot before.
She giggled.”No, you’re not. I mean it, Kyle, we are going to be together.”
“Forever?”I asked and looked at her to her smiling up at me. She nodded, her bright eyes looking up at me.
“Forever.”
“I love you, Madeline.”
“I love you, Kyle.”I leaned down and put her lips against mine. It was gentle but full of need and love. I miss this.
Someone cleared their throat, making Madeline pull away. I growled at Brant who was standing there, awkwardly.
“I’m sorry but where is she?”
Madeline giggled.”I’ll show you her.”She turned to me.”I will be back.”
—
Brant left with Layla. I finally have my Madeline back, right where she belongs.
“Daddy!”Sofia squealed with Edwin following as Madeline chased them into the living. I smiled when Madeline grabbed them both and placed kisses all over their faces. Their laughter made my heart warm.
“Are you two hungry?”My mom walked into the living room, looking at the twins. They both nodded and followed her into the kitchen. Before the entered the kitchen I heard Edwin say Starving.
I looked at my beautiful mate who was sitting on the ground. I walked over to her, picking her up bridal style.”I have something planned for tomorrow.”
She wrapped her arms around my neck and looked at me with an amused look.”And what is that?”
“It’s a surprise.”
She rolled her eyes with a pout.”Please tell me.”I shook my head and pecked her lips.
“I can’t. It would ruin the surprise.”I told with a small smirk. She nods and puts her head the crook of my neck, sighing. I shivered and felt her smile into my neck. She loved that effect she had on me.
“Mommy, come here!”Edwin shouts from inside the kitchen. I put her down and we walk into the kitchen to see Edwin eating cookies.”Here.”He pats the seat next to him and Madeline sits down next to him.
“Yes, baby?”She smiles and everyone in the room, looks at them. He pushes the plate with a cookie right in the middle in front of her.
“I save you one.”Edwin says with a cute smile.Sofia turns to me.”I save you one too, daddy.”Everyone in the room smiles and aww’s at the two.I grabbed Sofia and place her on my lap as Madeline copies my actions, sitting right next me. We must look like one happy family.
After we eat, it is about 8:00 and we decide to put the twins to bed.”Can we stay with you tonight?”Sofia asks, cutely. Her big brown eyes looking up at me. I look at Madeline who nods.
“Sure, my babies.”She says and picks up Sofia while I pick up Edwin. We place them on the bed and I change into some shorts with a t-shirt before hopping in bed with them. Madeline changes into some shorts and a top. We put the twins in the middle of us. I look down at the kids who are half asleep and then at Madeline to see that she is already staring a me.
“I chose the right guy.”She whispers, her blue eyes boring into mine. I drape my arm across the kids, carefully and rubbed Madeline’s arm.”I love you, Kyle Carter.”
“I love you, Madeline Longfellow.”
