I noticed there were some tears in his eyes as well, and he no longer looked as angry as before, though his fist were still clenched. He looked like he was heart-broken and sorrow, regret and guilt with a hint of anger all filled his now dark blue eyes.
Without another glance at him, I grabbed my bag and his car keys, calling the twins over, and leaving him standing, stunned, in the same spot.
It felt good walking away from him for once . . .
Once as I reached home, the kids started bombarding me with questions.
"Why did we leave Momma?"
"Why is Daddy not with us?"
"Where's Daddy?"
Taking in a deep breath I instructed, "Take a seat."
They both sat next to each other on the couch opposite the one that I was sitting on. I wasn't about to tell them everything from the start- so why I first ran away from here- because even though they were extremely mature for their age, I don't think they were old enough to understand everything. They didn't even know about mates or much about werewolves, so I didn't think they would be able to understand much. But I have never lied to my children, and I wasn't about to start now.
"Your Daddy and I had an argument, so I left," I stated, looking directly at them.
Their faces turned into similar frowns and after a few moments of their little brain processing it, Charis finally asked, "Why?"
"Because this isn't our home. Our home is back in New York, and your Daddy wanted all of us to stay here," I explained.
"We're leaving Daddy?" Charis looked so heartbroken, with tears in her eyes and her lips quivering.
I slowly nodded with a sad smile on my face.
"We don't want to leave Daddy," Kaden finally said, speaking for the first time.
"We want Mommy and Daddy to be together," Charis said, "We want Mommy and Daddy."
"I'm sorry baby, but we can't have that," I whispered.
"But why?!" Kaden screamed, standing up abruptly.
"Calm down baby," I said, walking over to him.
"But we want to live with you and Daddy!" he shouted once again. "I don't want to choose. I want Momma and Daddy together!"
