Chapter 23

“Daddy! You’re here!”

The little girl cheered, clinging to my legs. I didn’t know how to react. Jace and Charlotte stared at me with open mouths, surprised. I looked down at the little one. She lifted her tiny arms so that I could carry her, and I did.

“I’ve been missing you, Daddy,” She said with her little, sweet voice.

I smiled at her gently. Her presence brought so much joy to my heart, and this feeling was new to me.

Hello, little princess,” I greeted her. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me.

“Daddy, you’re back!” she was so excited. I only hugged her back, closing my eyes as I did. She pulled away and beamed at me.

“What is your name?” I asked gently.

“You know my name, Daddy,” she giggled. Her laughter was a lovely melody to my ears. I exchanged a glance with my beta, but he was as clueless as I was. This child looked no older than five, yet she was so comfortable to be carried by a stranger.

“Are you lost, Princess?” Jace asked gently.

“No, I saw my Daddy as I was watching the goldfish and ran here. I’m here with my Dada and brother,” she explained confidently.

“That’s not your dad,” Charlotte scoffed sharply, annoyed by the hold–up. I glared at her.

“He’s my Daddy! I have his picture!” the little girl shouted, upset with Charlotte.

“Where’s your dada?” I asked. She looked like she was about to cry now, and my heart clutched as if it was being squeezed painfully.

“Dada is over there,” she choked quietly. She wasn’t looking at me anymore as she struggled to get down. I put her down and crouched down.

What is your name?” I asked.

“You’re not my daddy?” she ignored my question and asked one of her own. After a long time, I shook my head with a sorry expression.

Seriously, mothers need to do better. They will show anyone they see on TV and magazines to kids as their fathers… Society is broken,” Charlotte sighed, and I growled at her.

No, he’s my daddy,” the little girl was sad, hot tears running down her eyes. I wiped her tears away and kissed her forehead just as a growl resounded. I turned to the sound, and a furious man stood behind

1. me.

Don’t touch her!” He rushed to us and picked up the little girl. She hid her face in the crook of his neck.

as she cried silently. I wanted to comfort her, but her father seemed to detest me.

“Well, Sir, watch your daughter. She came to-” Charlotte started but was interrupted by Jace,

“Luis?” Jace called. The man faced him, and I saw the anger fade from his face, while irritation took over.

Jace,” his tone was monotone.

“What are you doing here, and whose kid is she?” Jace asked. I observed the man’s face, and I recognized him now. He was Love’s childhood friend. Why was he here? Was he with Love?

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

“Kids?” Just as Jace asked, a boy appeared. I 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. I moved closer to the boy in a daze, he was glaring at me. Did he think I hurt his sister? Luís suddenly came in front of him protectively.

Η

Stay where you are. You’re making him upset,” He all but growled. What the fuck did I 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, I won’t waste my time on you. And as for your mate, I don’t care who tf he is,” Luis looked at her with disgust, and Charlotte gasped at the insult. I 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 I grabbed her hand.

I 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?

* I 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 very familiar.
