Hiding His Alpha Twins - Rosie Meachem
Chapter Two: An old Face
Cat?
a voice said,and I turned around to see her.It was Carla,my old friend from four years ago.
Carla?
I said,my voice barely above a whisper.
Cat?Is that really you?
I nodded,feeling a sense of guilt and regret wash over me.I had left my old pack behind four years ago,without so much as a goodbye.I had thought that I would never see them again,that I could start over with a clean slate.But now,as I looked at Carla,I realized that I had been wrong.Everything that Lochlan had done to me hurt me so much,I didn't want to remember him and feel all that all over again.Carla had been there for me so much and I never even said goodbye to her.I had hated to leave everyone behind but I couldn't face my mate after all that betrayal.He betrayed me.How could I stick around after all that?
I'm sorry,
I said,my voice barely above a whisper.I didn't mean to leave like that.I just needed to get away,to start over.
Carla nodded,her eyes filled with understanding.I know,
she said.We were all worried about you.But we didn't want to hold you back,to keep you from being happy.
I felt a sense of relief wash over me,knowing that Carla still cared about me after all these years.Maybe,just maybe,I could start over and still keep my old friends.
Thanks,
I said,my voice filled with gratitude.It means a lot to me that you still care.
Carla smiled,her eyes shining with warmth.Of course I do,
she said.We're still friends,no matter what you did to Lochlan.Leaving was the best thing for you and he was devastated that you and him parted ways.
As Carla spoke,I suddenly froze.My mind raced as I tried to make sense of what she was saying.What had he told her?My heart pounded in my chest as I struggled to keep my emotions in check.
What are you saying?
I asked,my voice barely above a whisper.
Carla frowned,her eyes filled with confusion.Well,we were told you had left because you found someone else,
she said.Lochlan said that he forgave you and the agreement was you would never return to the pack.What's going on?
I felt a surge of anger wash over me as I heard her words.The dirty liar!How could he?I had left the pack because I needed to start over,not because I had found someone else.And the idea that Lochlan had forgiven me was laughable.He had never been one to forgive easily,especially when it came to matters of the heart.
I didn't find someone else,
I said,my voice filled with frustration.I left because I needed to start over,to find myself again.And as for Lochlan forgiving me,that's a joke.He never forgives anyone,especially not me.Plus he was the one cheating.Not me.
Carla nodded,her eyes filled with understanding.I'm sorry,
she said.I didn't know.But why did you leave without saying goodbye?We were all worried about you.
I took a deep breath,trying to calm myself down.I didn't mean to hurt anyone,
I said.I just needed to get away,to start over.I thought it was the best thing for me.
Carla nodded,her eyes filled with compassion.I understand,
she said.But you should know that we still care about you,no matter what.And if you ever need anything,you can always come to us.
Thanks Carla but I won't be returning there.It's been far to long and Lochlan made it clear.
I said avoiding eye contact but it did hurt me to think he could not only betray me but lie about me like that.None of it was my fault.
Cat,I don't live there and haven't for a while.I only visit every now and again to see my family.
I'm just here to do my job and make a living for me and my...
I stopped myself before the words tumbled out.I couldn't let her know about my children.What if she put two and two together?Lochlan would never let me live peacefully if he knew about the twins'existence.Carla watched me curiously.
Your what?
she asked.Then her eyes widened in excitement.Oh my,cat.Do you have children now?
she exclaimed,and I swallowed hard,wishing the ground would swallow me up.I couldn't hide the fact that I was a mother,but I also didn't know if I could trust her after so long.
Yes,
I said softly,my voice barely above a whisper.But I must get on with my work now.I don't want to upset my boss.
I whispered nervously,glancing over my shoulder.
Carla laughed and waved it off.Oh,don't worry about him.He's my husband.It seems we both have a lot of catching up to do,
she said,and I felt my mouth fall open.So Carla was married to my boss.That was unexpected.
I took a deep breath,trying to collect my thoughts.I didn't know you were married and not in the pack anymore,
I said,my voice filled with surprise.
Carla nodded,her eyes filled with understanding.We got married a few years ago when I was visiting town we realized we were mates and fell in love so I moved out here and gave the pack up and everything,
she said.But enough about me.I want to hear about your kids.How old are they?What are their names?
I hesitated for a moment,unsure if I should tell her.But something in her eyes made me trust her.
They're three years old,
I said,my voice filled with pride.Their names are Nathan and Nadia.
I didn't want to say their exact age in case she put two and two together.
Carla smiled,her eyes filled with warmth.They are twins?Oh wow,they sound wonderful,
she said.You must be so proud of them.I would love to meet them.
She gushed and rubbed her own belly.My eyes fell and I was surprised to notice her belly was swollen.She was expecting!
I'm a few months along.
She laughed seeing my surprise.
Congratulations.
I said,feeling a sense of relief wash over me.Maybe I could trust her after all.Maybe things weren't as bad as I thought.
Chapter Three: Meeting Alex
I hesitated for a moment before rolling down the window.Can I help you?
I asked,trying to hide the anxiety in my voice.
Oh hello there miss,I couldn't help but notice your car,
he said,gesturing toward the scratches.Did someone do that to you?
I nodded,still feeling a bit wary.But something about his friendly demeanor put me at ease.Yeah,I just noticed it when I got here.It's really frustrating.
I'm sorry that happened to you,
he said sympathetically.Is there anything I can do to help?
I shook my head,feeling embarrassed.No,I don't think so.But thank you for asking.
He smiled again,and I couldn't help but feel like I was in the presence of someone special.Well,my name is Alex,
he said,extending his hand.I work at the office across the street but my friend is a mechanic and could sort you out with these scratches.If you ever need anything,don't hesitate to ask.
I took his hand,feeling a sense of warmth spreading through my body.I'm Cat,
I said,smiling back at him.It's nice to meet you and thanks for the offer but it's fine.
Here's my card.Call me anytime,
Alex said,his voice smooth as he handed me his business card.I took it,feeling the weight of the card in my hand,and placed it gently on my empty cup holder.
Thanks,Alex.Anyway,I best be off as I have to collect my children,
I explained,feeling a sense of urgency to leave.
0f course.I'm sure we will meet again soon.
He nodded,smiling,and I couldn't help but notice the way his eyes sparkled in the sunlight and my tummy did some crazy somesaults.I hoped that I would see him again.
As I drove away,I couldn't shake the feeling that I had just met someone who would change my life forever.There was something about him that made me feel a way I never had before-a sense of excitement mixed with a hint of nervousness.
When I finally pulled up to Maria's,I could see the children waving at me from the conservatory window.Their smiling faces filled me with a warmth and happiness that I hadn't felt in a long time,and I knew that I was exactly where I was meant to be.
I walked up to the conservatory,feeling grateful for the love and joy that my children brought into my life.As I opened the door,they rushed to hug me,their tiny arms wrapping tightly around my waist.I held them close,feeling their warmth and love,and knew that they were the reason I kept going every day.
How was your day,Cat?
Maria grinned and I realized I had a smile that I couldn't wipe off my face.
I bumped into someone who I feel this strange connection to.
I shook my head at the sound of my own words because it sounded ridiculous but it was true.
That sounds lovely my dear.
Maria squeezed my arm and went to the kitchen to make a drink.I sat on the floor with the twins listening to their excited chatter about their day with Maria.
After a short catch up with Maria,she helped me to get the children safely in the car.I thanked her again and gave her a hug.Enjoy your evening and we will see you in the morning.
Goodnnight Cat,see you tomorrow twins.
Maria waved us off.
Finally we were home and once I had gotten the twins out and in the door,I closed and locked it.
After we settled in,I couldn't help but think about Alex and the way he made me feel.I wondered if he felt the same way or if it was all just in my head.The thought of seeing him again made my heart race,and I knew that I had to call him.However I was scared because I had only just met him.Would he be frightened off that I had twins?Perhaps someone like him already had a family of his own.The niggling feeling in my head kept saying to contact him but each time I would chicken out of doing so.
Days turned into weeks,and I found myself thinking about Alex more and more.I wondered if he felt the same way or if it was all just in my head.The thought of seeing him again made my heart race,and I knew that I had to call him.
A whole month had passed since I first set eyes on Alex and I decided to go for it.So finally,I mustered up the courage to dial his number.The phone rang a few times before he picked up,his voice smooth and calm.
Hello?
he said and I felt my heart pounding in my chest.
This is Cat.I hope you don't mind me calling but I wanted to talk about getting my car sorted.You suggested your friend.
I mumbled and could have kicked myself for sounding so silly.
Of course.I was hoping you would call me.
his voice all husky.
We talked for another two hours,getting to know each other and sharing our hopes and dreams.
It was like we had known each other forever,and I knew that this was the beginning of something special.
As the days went by,Alex and I talked more and more.We discovered that we had so much in common and that our hopes and dreams were aligned.I felt like I was finally able to be myself around him,and I knew that he felt the same way.
Since another month had passed since we met,I thought it was right for him to meet the twins.Maria was excited for me and encouraging.I felt like a teenager when I was around him,all giddy and excited.
I couldn't tell him about Lochlan and my past though.I felt it would destroy our new found bond.It was still early days but I liked being around Alex and when the time came to introduce him to my twins,I knew that I did not want to let him go.He was going back home next week and I wanted to make the most of my time with him.
I need not have worried about anything since Nadia and Nathan were happy to meet Alex and got along so well.It was like a dream come true.This man had been in my life as lite as three months and I was feeling myself fall for him.
He adored Nathan and Nadia and they had this unbreakable bond that made me so happy to see growing.Even Maria approved of Alex.I was so happy that I often wondered how I got so lucky.
I had a good friend,Carla back in my life and a man who worshiped me like a queen.Better than Lochlan had ever treated me.Even my job was going well.I was happy with my life.
One morning I woke up and saw a message on my phone from Alex,he asked me to meet him for breakfast at a quaint little caféin the heart of the city.
As I walked into the café,I saw Alex sitting at a table near the window.He looked up and smiled,his eyes lighting up when he saw me.
Good morning beautiful Cat.
he stood up and pulled the chair out for me.What a gentlemen.Morning,how are you?
I beamed at him as he pecked my cheek and took his seat again.
Cat,look I won't beat around the bush,there's something important that I want to tell you.
As Alex spoke those words,I felt a knot form in my stomach.I looked at him expectantly,trying to read his expression for any clues.He hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth,but then closed it again.I wondered what was on his mind and what he was trying to say.Despite my curiosity,I tried to maintain a calm demeanor and waited patiently for him to speak.
What is it?
I asked trying to hide the shakiness in my voice but I was scared.What if he was about to end things with me?We had been getting on great,I was happy how well things were going between us.Maybe all this had been to good to be true and now it had to end.
After a few moments of silence,Alex finally spoke up.Cat,I've been thinking a lot about our future together,
he said,his voice soft and serious.
Here it is.He's going to dump me.I took a deep breath and closed my eyes waiting for the words to hit me like cold ice.
And I just wanted to say that I love you and those adorable cheeky twins more than anything in this world.I can't imagine my life without you,and I want to spend the rest of my days making you happy.
he took my hands in his and I opened my eyes in disbelief.Was he being serious or was this a silly joke?
As he spoke,I felt tears welling up in my eyes.I had never felt so loved and cherished before.I reached out to take his hand,squeezing it tightly.
I know it's still early for us but I can't deny my feelings for you are already so strong.
he said.
I love you too,Alex,
I said,my voice trembling with emotion.I can't wait to see what the future holds for us.You make me feel so happy and it a long while since I felt this good.
I explained.
We sat there for a few moments,lost in our own thoughts and feelings.I knew that this was just the beginning of something beautiful,and I felt grateful to have Alex by my side.
But there was something niggling in the back of my mind and I could not place my finger on it.
That's not all.
He smiled.
What is it?
I questioned seeing the glint of excitement in his eyes.
I have to go back to Colorado and I want you and the twins to come with me.
His words rang in my mind.
Colorado.
No.
This could not be happening.
Of all places,it had to be there.
Chapter Four: Revelations And Big Decisions
I couldn't believe my ears when Alex said that he wanted to take me to Colorado.I tried to keep my voice steady,but I could feel the panic rising in my chest.
Colorado?
I repeated,trying to sound casual.Why Colorado?
Alex looked at me with a puzzled expression.I thought it would be a great place to go hiking and explore the mountains.You know before moving there.
He took my hands in his and looked me in the eyes.
I am serious about you and the twins.I want you all three.You're all my world.I understand that this is a lot for you to take in but I can't imagine wanting anyone else.You mean so much to me.
I tried to keep my smile in place,but my mind was racing.I couldn't go back to Colorado,not after what happened with Lochlan.I had left everything behind and started a new life,but the thought of going back there made me feel sick.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.That sounds like fun,but I don't know if I can go to Colorado.I have some bad memories there.
Alex's expression softened,and he put his arm around me.I'm sorry,I didn't know.You never mentioned it before.
I felt guilty for keeping my secret from Alex.
I have something to tell you,
I blurted out suddenly,surprising myself.
Alex looked at me,concern etched on his face.What is it?
I took a deep breath,steeling myself for his reaction.I'm a werewolf,Alex.And I have a past with someone who is dangerous.That's why I couldn't go back to Colorado.
I know.
he said looking me in the eye.
I raised an eyebrow at him,curious about what he was thinking.What do you mean?
I felt a knot form in my stomach as I waited for him to continue.I had shared my deepest secret with him,and I wasn't sure if I was ready for whatever he was about to say.What if he was about to cancel everything with me and move on his own?What if he changed his mind about being with me and wanting me?I couldn't face the possibility of losing him already.It was crazy how much he meant to me already.
I knew you were a werewolf,I could sense it.
Alex said,his voice serious.
I stared at him in shock,not sure how to respond.Sense it?What?How?
Alex shrugged,a small smile playing on his lips.I just knew.You have this wildness in your eyes sometimes,and I could sense something different about you.
But that would mean you are..
He nodded and smiled.
But I couldn't sense your wolf because I lost my own.
I shook my head,still trying to process what he was saying.I can't believe this.I thought I was the only one.
Alex's touch was reassuring,and I could feel myself starting to calm down.You're not alone,I'm here for you.And I won't tell anyone else,I promise.This is our secret.
He said,his voice filled with compassion.
I looked up at him,feeling a sense of gratitude
