Chapter 68
Ellis and CC were glaring at Maleck, who stood by the door with a sly smile on his lips.
“What the fuck are you doing in here,” Ellis roared at his cousin. His alpha aura was suppressing everyone.
Maleck’s neck inclined to the current alpha, and answered, “Visiting Family,”
Maleck took a step forward and came straight to me.
“Love,” he said my name fondly in a deep voice. I didn’t expect him to do what he did next. He leaned in and kissed my cheek. Two growls thundered from David and Ellis. It made Charlotte whimper and go closer to her mate as she glared at me with envy. David pulled me away from Maleck by my waist and growled at him. Maleck’s eyes fixed on me, his lips curled in a charming
smile.
“It’s lovely to see you again, Love,” I only nodded, unable to find the right words to say to him in this situation.
“Again?” Ellis asked, his gaze on me.
“Um, we met at a hotel.”
“What?!” I rolled my eyes at the growl from my ex and current boyfriend.
“We bumped into each other in the lobby as I met up with Lila and Luis,” I answered, rolling my eyes. What were they thinking?
“What are you doing in my house? You’re not welcome after the chaos you’ve dragged us through!” CC shouted, her eyes flashing gold. It was apparent she didn’t like Maleck. However, considering the vilification and court proceedings he put them through in hopes of getting the pack, her anger was justified.
“Well, we were nearby, and I thought my children should meet their other family,” Maleck answered boldly as two boys came into view. They were about two or three years older than my children.
“This is Finley and Axton, my children,” he said.
Ellis took a step back. He seemed to want to attack his cousin earlier but stepped back after seeing the children. My eyes went to CC. She was a little taken aback by seeing the children as well. One could tell they were part of the Carter lineage. They all had tanned skin and jet-black hair like every Carter. However, their auras and scent could have been stronger because only one of their parents was an alpha.
“So, are we welcome to stay?” Maleck asked, eyeing Ellis. What was this man playing at? He hated the Carters now. Now he has come to introduce his children? The alpha and CC shared a glance. It was clear they didn’t trust Maleck. However, CC smiled slightly, looking at the handsome boys, and nodded.
“Come on in, Children,” she said, and they rushed to her… She held their shoulders lightly and moved away.
“What’s happening here?” I heard Luis whisper in my ear as he appeared next to me.
“Later,” I whispered back.
That was so awkward, and there was a moment of silence until my children came running down with happiness.
“Granny, Matt showed us the rooms! They are so amazing!” The twins were excited but stopped in their tracks once they were close, sensing the stress in the room. The twins’ gaze found mine instantly, yet it went to Ellis’ side. He opened his arms, and they went to him. I snarled inwardly. I’m here, too. He held them kindly, as he always did.
My eyes snapped to Maleck. There it was. He wasn’t even trying to hide it-anger and jealousy. He had no reason to denigrate Ellis with lies about not having an heir. Maleck was so furious that he couldn’t even hide it. It was the only thing he had against Ellis. His motive to challenge Ellis was gone now. I unconsciously moved closer to the kids.
“This is what should have been. You look perfect. Matthew! Quick snap some pictures,” CC beamed. I hadn’t realized Ellis and I were standing closely together and away from everyone.

Aren’t they a perfect family of four?”

“Perfect family, indeed, co,” Melody and Seumo answered with smiles. Jace nodded his approval like everyone else. I blinked at the flash of the camera and moved away. David was seething with anger, and so was Charlotte. Damn.
“What rooms were you talking about?” asked my children as we went out to the garden.
“Granny prepared rooms for us when we visited,Cayden said.
“Granny? That was fast.” Ellis grumbled, and I giggled at his slight hint of jealousy. Cayden still needs to call him Dad.
“My room roof opens up when I press a button, and there are starry sky ceilings!” Solara says excitedly.
“And I see the galaxy!” Cayden announced.
How long did CC take to prepare this? In the corner of my vision, I could see David and Charlotte. I thought they were talking, but I could be wrong.
Once we reached the garden, the setting took my breath away. It was beautifully and elegantly set, and the long table had so much food. Most were my favorites: Beluga Caviar, Frittata, baked eggs, and more!
“Frittata,” I mused, looking at CC. For the first time since I set foot in her home, she gave me a genuine smile.
“I know how much you like them. Or maybe that changed too,” she snickered, glancing at David. She tried to lack emotion in her voice, but it was there.
“I still love them. Thank you, CC,” I told her with a cute smile. She resisted the urge to smile and walked away.
