His Mate, His Girlfriend (Love and Ellis) novel Chapter 13

I smiled at him and let out a long sigh.

“What are you smiling about? You lost the bet,” he grumbled. He wanted me to go out more, so he betted me to get laid.

We stayed up, chatting a bit longer, before I went upstairs to my babies‘ room. They had separate rooms, but they loved sharing a bed. Maybe it was a twin thing. I kissed them both, and my son, Cayden Carter, stirred. He was a light sleeper. He blinked a few times before his eyes opened.

“Mommy?” he called groggily. Wiping his face, my son looked just like his father with sterling grey eyes, dark hair, and the same facial features, while his sister, Lara, short for Solara, had my blonde hair and sterling blue eyes.

Hey, baby, I didn’t mean to wake you up. Sorry,” I whispered, not trying to wake his sister, because if she did, we would have stayed up until morning, and Mama had a long night.

Where did you go?” he questioned. My son hated it when he went out at night. Cayden was protective of me and his sister.

“Just work,” I smiled and kissed his forehead, ” Sleep,”

He nodded and went back to sleep. I closed the door and went to my room to rest. Tomorrow is another day.

Mummy! Mummy! Wake up!” Small, soft hands caressed my face gently. My little Solara hovered over me. I pretended to sleep a while longer, and she placed soft kisses on my face. My eyes snapped open, and she giggled. I grunted and sat up. Solara was like sunshine–up before anyone, bright, full of joy and energy, just a bubbly, happy kid.

Good morning, my baby,” I reciprocated her energy.

‘Good morning, mummy,” she smiled, kissing my nose.

“Is your brother awake?”

No,”

I’m hungry. Can you please make me breakfast?” her voice was so sweet. She batted her eyelashes to convince me. I smiled and kissed her before getting out of bed.

“What do you want to eat, little Miss Sunshine,” I asked her as I carried her. She wrapped her little legs around my waist.

I want crepes,”

I made the food for her while she told me about the dream she had. Ten minutes later, she ate while I

went upstairs to wake her brother.

Thirty minutes later, my little demons were ready for school.

“Mummy, next week, your father is taking you to school. Are we missing class?” Solara frowned, fidgeting with her fingers as though she wanted to cry. The way their moods switched so fast scared me. Cayden eyed me but didn’t say a word.

The kids often asked about their father, and I didn’t want to tell them what happened. I will when they are older, but for now, I told them he was on Mars, saving the world. They believed me.

I showed them a picture of Ellis once, and they asked me to print it, so we framed it, and they each have

one in their rooms.

‘No, you won’t go. We are moving, remember?” I reminded them. K–Corp was bought out by a larger company. Although there will be new business owners, our employer’s identity will stay the same, and our employment will continue as normal. However, we are moving to the new office in Lycan City. I was a little nervous because we’d be close to the Grey Lycan Pack, but the house Luis found was in neutral

territory, away from many people, so I was unlikely to meet anyone I knew from that pack.

Good morning, my little monsters!” Luis shouted.

M

Dada!” They ran to hug him, and I exhaled in relief. I wouldn’t be answering questions about the move.
