Chapter 5
"Mommy! His name is Wolfie not Caleb!" Zoey giggled breaking me out of my daze. "Zoe baby, please get off of Ca-Wolfie." I pleaded glancing back at Quin who had a firm hold on Joey.
Joey was glaring daggers at Caleb. He always knew when there was danger around or when I was uneasy, he was such a mommas boy. "Joey go inside with Quin." I demanded as Caleb's wolf form stepped forward growling at me.
"No!" He yelled breaking out of Quin's hold and ran to stand in front of me. "Joey!" I hissed grabbing onto his arm. "Listen here Wolfie-" he growled "you don't growl at my mommy! My sister likes you but I don't!"
I gasped and pulled him into my chest as Caleb let out a weird noise. "Mommy Wolfie didn't mean it." Zoey pouted. "Zoe get off of him." Joey demanded. His Alpha blood was starting to show up.
"Fine!" Zoe frowned as Caleb lowered himself so she could slide off. He licked her cheek making her laugh before standing up to his intimidating height.
"You guys go on in with everyone. I'll be right in." I said ushering them to Quin who glared at Caleb. She knew everything about him. "Mommy I don't want to go inside." Joey pouted crossing his arms.
I sighed and glanced back at Caleb. His eyes held pride as he stared at Joey. "Baby I'll be right in then we can go home and see your room okay." I smiled. He glared at Caleb before slowly nodding.
"You-" he hissed pointing at Caleb. "Hurt her and I'll hurt you." I laughed and kissed his cheek. "Distract him." I whispered to Jake before he could follow them in. He quickly nodded and kissed my cheek.
That earned him a threatening growl from Caleb that made my toes curl. I bit my lip in order to keep in the moan as my wolf started flashing memories of that night I stored away.
'You're pathetic' I growled at my wolf.
'You missed him too'
I sighed watching Jake walk in before turning to Caleb. My heart fluttered as he slowly stepped to me. His head turned to the side and I blushed. He just heard my heart beat. How awkward.
"The kids don't know about us, werewolves. And I would like to keep it like that for a while so I'm not changing here. If you want to talk you can stop by my house." I said staring straight into his deep sky blue eyes that made my knees weak. I truly did miss seeing him.
He growled lowly and nodded. "Jake knows where I live." I said simply knowing he would mind link him. He growled lowly again glancing back into the house before turning back and running into the woods. I let out a shaky breath and stumbled back into the house .

"Aria are you sure you don't want me to go in?" I groaned and leaned back in my seat. "Jacob, he won't try anything." I smiled. He sighed and looked out of the car window. I leaned over the console and gave him a kiss on the cheek before hopping out and opening the back door for two sleepy kids.
"I'll see you later Jake." I smiled closing the door and walking behind my babies.
"Mommy who's that?" My eyes snapped up from my purse to meet a cold pair of sky blue eyes. "Caleb." I muttured. "Like my Wolfie!" Zoey squealed suddenly her sleepiness forgotten.
"Stupid Wolfie can eat poo." Joey mumbled next to her rubbing his eyes. I chuckled and walked around Caleb to open the door. As soon as the door clicked the twins ran inside looking for their rooms.
"Uh.. come .. come in." I stuttered to a tense Caleb. He nodded and stepped in. I smiled at the homey feel. The living room had a 'L' shaped cream couch, a window who took up a whole wall that looked out into the woods and a plasma t.v.
I threw my keys onto the counter in the kitchen and motioned for Caleb to follow me to the kids room. "Mommy where's my wolf!" Zoey yelled running out of the last room in the hall. "He should be on your bed sweetie." I frowned walking into her room. "Wow." Caleb whispered behind me. The first word he's uttered.
Her room was a soft yellow with a small princess couch right next to the door. Two clear walls with pink flowers hid Zoey's large bed with a princess veil thing covering her bed. "Wolf is on the couch babe." I smiled handing her Wolf. She squealed and hugged him tightly to her chest. "I thought I lost him mommy!" She yelled wide-eyed. My laughter froze as I heard a deep alluring chuckle behind me.
"Mommy is that your Prince?" She asked staring discretely behind me. "I.. Mm... I'm not sure yet baby." I whispered wincing. He could hear everything. "Hey! Do you want to be my mommy's prince?" I blushed and quickly shushed her. "I would love to be her prince." He chucked getting to his knees in front of her.
His arms brushing against mine. Did he... did he say what I think he said. I felt hot and I knew I couldn't, wouldn't let him get to me. "Mommy."
"Yes baby." I replied snapping out of my daze to see her grinning at me. My eyes darted to Caleb's and I blushed. He was staring at me with so much ... love? "Can Prince read me a story?" She asked hopefully. "If its okay with him." I smiled softly.
"It's more than fine with me." He grinned swooping her off her feet. "Baby make sure to change and brush your teeth okay." She nodded quickly. "I'll be in to tuck you in later." I kissed her cheek and ignored the shocks that went through my body as my body made contact with his.
He's heartless.
He's cruel.
He's a child.
He used me.
He stomped on my heart.
He's .... he's ... he still has my heart.
I dashed out of that room as quick as I could. I don't love him. Its just that stupid bond.
'You love him'
'Shut up!' I growled taking a deep breath and blocking my wolf. One day ... one day back with my wolf and she kept pissing me off.
"Ready for bed Joey?" I asked walking into his room. I frowned as I saw him already laying in his car bed. "Joey?" He 'hmphed' and hid under his blankets.
"Baby what's wrong?" I whispered sitting on the floor next to his side. "You brought him inside." He whispered. Him? Who? "Caleb." He growled.
"Why don't you like him?" I asked as he uncovered his face. "He looks at you like he wants to eat you mommy." His chin quivered and he tried to cover his face again but I quickly pulled them back.
"He's not going to eat me." I laughed smoothing back his hair. "What does he want?" He pouted. I bit my lip and stared at his opened door. Should I tell him? No. I have to make sure Caleb won't hurt them. "He just wanted to say hi." I whispered leaning my forehead against his.
I started humming a song and before I knew it he was fast asleep. "I love you baby." I whispered kissing his forehead and tucking him in. I turned off his lights and left the room door slightly opened.
"Are you my dad?" Zoey whispered. I froze and leaned against the wall. "I... I'll tell you later, sweetheart." His voice whispered back to her. "You're coming back then?" She asked hopefully. "I hope I do."
"You will. My mommy likes you." She giggled. I smiled and shook my head.
"Zoe did you do what I said?" I smiled walking in. My heart skipped a beat at the view in front of me. Caleb was on her bed with her. His arm holding her to his chest protectively, while the other held her fairy tale book. It was truly a Kodak moment.
"Yes mommy!" She grinned. "Are you mad at me?" She whispered looking up at me from under her dark lashes. I frowned and kneeled next to her. "About what sweetie?"
"When I went into the woods." She said nervously picking at her pink blanket. I glanced up at Caleb to find his eyes on me. I blushed and turned back to Zoey. "No I'm not baby. But you had us worried sick. Don't ever go into the woods alone again, understand." She quickly nodded and leaned over to wrap her small hands around my neck. "I love you mommy."
"I love you too." I smiled before tucking her in. I kissed her forehead and watched as Caleb did the same. "Will you be here in the morning?" Zoe asked yawning. He smiled down at her and glanced at me. "Probably not Princess, but you will be seeing a lot more of me." She smiled and drifted off to sleep.
Silence enveloped us as we walked out of her room. "Where's joey?" I bit my lip to keep in the smile as I remembered what joey thought of Caleb. "He's asleep." I said pointing to Joey's door. He walked over and opened the door. He sighed and leaned against the door before walking back to me.
"C...coffee?" I stuttered getting lost in his eyes once again. He nodded and followed me to my kitchen. I grinned finding my cabinet filled with coffee. "Thank you Jake." I mumbled grinning.
"What'd you say?" Caleb growled from behind me. His hot breath hitting my neck. He smelled like chocolate. I bit my lip to keep in the moan.
"You're not Jacob's." He breathed. "YOU.ARE.MINE!" He whispered harshly, pushing me against the counter so I was pinned between him and the cold counter.
I threw my head back and let out a soft moan. Heat pooled around my thighs as he kissed down my neck. "Say my name." He growled desperately. "Say it." He growled biting the spot where his mark used to be.
"Caleb." I moaned biting my lip. I had to keep reminding myself that my kids were sleeping in the same house. My kids...
"Caleb ... Caleb we need to stop, please." I breathed turning to face him. He growled lowly and continued to kiss down my neck pausing where his mark used to be.
"Why?" He whispered leaning his forehead against my chest. "The kids-no, why'd you leave me." He interrupted.
I breathed in and tried to get my heartbeat to slow down. But it was near impossible now as he kissed my chest, where my heart was.
"You hurt me." I mumbled cautiously running my hand through his dark locks. "I hurt you .... I hurt you." He scoffed before pushing away from me.
I felt cold and empty, I craved him. I felt like a drug addict. "You took my kids Ariana!" He whispered shouted. "You weren't ready." I muttured wrapping my arms around myself. "Who are you to decide if I was ready or not! You... you didn't even give me a chance." He hissed.
I could feel my anger bubbling up. "Remember my last day at school. The last day you saw me." He slowly nodded. "I thought ... after the other day.. the way you kissed me. I thought you cared!" I cried. He cringed but stood with his head held high.
"That day I went to go tell you." Immediately his posture changed. "Imagine my surprise when I got called a whore I'm front of the entire pack!" I spat. He moved closer to hold me put I held my arm up. "Don't. You came so we could talk about the twins. That's what we're going to do." I said emotionlessly putting back the coffee and walked to the kitchen table, making sure not to touch him.
"What do you want to know?" I asked bluntly. "They're five right?" I nodded "They look older because of the Alpha blood." He nodded and looked into my eyes. I continued to keep my eyes and face emotionless, but deep down I was hurting. Emotions from five years ago came back at full speed.
"What are their full names?" He asked nervously. I knew what he wanted to know, if they had his last name. " Zoey Antoinette and Joey Caleb ... Felix." I muttured.
I wanted them to have something of him and his name was it. "Antoinette?" He grinned. "Yes like Antoni." I replied rolling my eyes, but I couldn't keep the blush down.
I saw him lift his arm to me but I flinched away. One touch from him and I was under his spell again, I knew it.
"Joey... he... he's a strong little one." He smiled covering up his hurt. I smiled at the thought of my baby boy. "He is." I smiled.
"You're a great mother, Aria." He whispered smiling at me. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I wasn't there." My heart swelled at his apology. "What do you want Caleb?" I asked tilting my head. I wanted to know everything before I got my hopes up. Before he got my kids hopes up.
"To be a part of this family. I want us to be a family Ariana." He said quickly standing from his chair and coming to stand in front of my own. My heart skipped a beat and he grinned hearing it.
"I ... I...."
