Natalia

The sun filtered through the trees, dappling the picnic blanket with spots of gold. Jane was sprawled across my lap, her raven hair spread out around her head like a dark halo as she napped, while Max was carefully stacking small, flat rocks into a tower a few feet away.

Damon and Grace were sitting nearby, chatting quietly about the latest pack news. It was peaceful. Perfect. Almost too perfect, like a scene from someone else’s life.

“More lemonade?” Grace asked, holding up a pitcher.

I nodded, watching as she poured the sweet drink into my cup. She’d been a godsend these past few weeks, caring for the twins with so much love and patience. The children adored her, and she even had a little more color in her cheeks lately.

She didn’t look at me anymore like an outsider or the woman who had stolen the man she loved. Although, I still noticed the way she looked at Damon, the brief glances through her lashes.

“So,” Damon said, leaning back on his elbows, “are we winning the ‘best day ever‘ co

1 yet?”

Max looked up from his rock tower and beamed, that gap in his teeth on prominent display. “Maybe if we can have dessert.”

Damon laughed and reached into the picnic basket. “You drive a hard bargain, kid.” He pulled out a container of chocolate chip cookies, and Max’s face lit up.

“Now it’s the best day,” he said, abandoning his rocks to grab a cookie.

Jane stirred at the mention of dessert. “Cookie?” she slurred.

Chuckling, I smoothed her hair back from her forehead: “Yes, love. Uncle Damon brought cookies.”

She sat up, rubbing her eyes. “He’s not Uncle Damon. He’s Daddy.”

My heart clenched as I shot Damon a glance over the top of Jane’s head. She had been calling him that for a while

and I should have been glad that she saw him in that way. But it still felt… wrong.

By the time the sun began to set, both children were tired but happy. After baths and a rich dinner of roast chicken and buttery potatoes, it was finally time for bed. I fucked the twins into their shared room, sitting on the edge of the bed as they got settled under the covers.

“Story time?” Jane asked.

“In a minute,” I replied softly. “First, I wanted to ask you both something.” I paused, steeling myself, then decided to just go for it. “Remember when you met that man at the pack house? The one who looked like Uncle

Damon?”

Jane nodded enthusiastically, “He looked just like him! But his hair was longer and blacker.”

Max just scowled and pulled the blanket up to his chin.

“What did you think of him, Max?” I asked gently.

“Dunno.”

“It’s okay to tell me. I promise I won’t be mad.”

Max was quiet for so long I thought he wasn’t going to answer. Then, in a small voice, he said, “I know he’s our real daddy. So I hate him.”

My heart sank.

“Are you going back to him?” Jane whispered. “Max said you’re going to have more babies with him and forget about us.”

“No, loves. You don’t have to worry about that. You two are my whole world.”

“But Max said-”
