Alexander's

POV

"Did you hear what I just said?" he inquired. But all I could see was a younger version of myself. I clenched my trembling hands and my eyes became teary when the realization dawned on me. He was my child. Mason and Madison. They were both my kids and I had absolutely no idea till after six years had passed. Six whole years. And I wasn't there, I had no idea how they grew up.

"Are you in tears because I said I wouldn't help you talk to mummy? Do you like her that much?" he asked curiously.

I had to control myself. I could not let him replace out what I was thinking or I risk Emma also replaceing out.

"Yes, I like your mummy so much that it hurts. I miss her terribly," I replied.

"If you like her that much, then why did you make her cry?" he asked.

"She cried?" I asked in surprise. He nodded. Did what we discussed last night perhaps make her cry? This could only mean that beneath all her anger and resentment, there was still something underneath. Something we would have to work on reviving before it becomes too late. What he just said gave me a glimmer of hope.

"It's between adults. You won't understand now. Maybe when you get older," I said.

"Were you protecting your sister from me? Was that why you didn't allow me to see her?" I continued.

"Of course. Mady is much more emotional than I am. I don't want you to make her cry like you all did with our mummy. Thankfully, our daddy was there to comfort her," he said. I held onto the sofa tightly. Hearing them refer to another man as their daddy infuriated me to no end. I never had any idea about my kids and now when I finally do, they had someone else in their life that they called their father.

"Keep taking care of your sister like you are doing now," I said.

"I will. If you all really like my mummy like you say you do, then prove it to her. That's your only option," he replied. I smiled at him. He sounded ten years older than his age. They both grew up well even though I wasn't there for them. I hate myself for that and I could only imagine what Emma went through. Her actions are becoming more and more understandable by the day.

"I have to go now. I'm getting late," he said. I nodded.

"Right, you should leave. I took too much of your time. Your teacher might be pissed," I replied.

"I doubt that. She can leave me here all day if it means she gets to watch your face," he responded pointing towards his teacher who was still lurking around. She waved at me with a wink. I sighed.

"You look like a good person but that doesn't mean I will let you speak to Mady just yet," he said.

"Understood," I replied when I suddenly remembered something. "You can't tell..."

"I won't tell mummy. But, the whole school is aware you came especially my teacher. You can't guarantee they won't tell mummy except..," he trailed passing a while folded sheet to me. "What is this?" I asked curiously.

"See for yourself, my teacher gave it to me. Bye, Mr. It was nice talking to you," he said before walking away. I stared at his retreating back longingly till he disappeared from my sight. I glanced towards the paper and saw that it was someone's number. I looked back at the teacher and she muttered a 'call me' and giggled before walking off. Things I do because of Emma. I thought with a scoff.

I got into my car and drove towards the pack house after throwing the paper into the waste bin. Soon enough, I arrived. Emma and my kids didn't even live that far away yet I failed to replace them after all these years. I had never felt so useless in my life.

"How did it go?" Julian asked immediately after I stepped into my office. They were both sitting on the chair waiting for me.

"It went exactly as planned," I replied walking towards my table and pouring myself a drink. I sipped on it slowly.

"Well? Don't leave us hanging," Philip urged.

"We were right. They are my kids," I said.

"I knew it yet Cole takes pride in himself and shows how much of a father he is," Julian responded.

"He's still their father regardless. He has known them for more than we ever did," Philip replied. Although it was hard, that was the bitter truth.

"How do you feel?" Julian inquired.

"At first, I just wanted to see them but after seeing them, I just felt like running to their home and confronting Emma about why she never told me about them but I know that's a rash thing to do so I will remain in the shadows for now," I responded sipping my drink again.

"That's probably the right thing to do," Philip said. I swirled the glass in my hand whilst looking at them.

"How about you two? How do you feel about all this?" I asked.

"About what?" they replied.

"Me and Emma, the kids," I said. They both chuckled.

"Come on Alex, pull yourself together. Why won't we okay? Emma is your mate as much as she's ours. Your kids are our kids. We are happy and to be honest, I think Mady likes me more than you all," Julian said. "What about Mason?" Philip asked.

"He is a tough nut to crack. I could tell from the way he spoke," he replied trying to pick up the glass I dropped on my table. I swatted his arm away. He frowned.

"Once you start drinking, you almost never stop. We need to talk about what to do and how to move ahead from here and I can't have you drunk," I said. He sighed. "What do you think we can do?" Philip asked.

"Firstly, we must make sure that Emma doesn't replace out I know about them. It might make her do something unexpected," I responded.

"How do you think we can convince her that we've changed? I wouldn't believe us if I were her too. We've promised her that each time but we only ended up hurting her," he said.

"Let's just show her our sincere feelings. Let's be sincere and open to her. We can start from there," I replied.

"What about Xander? He needs to be included in this," I continued.

"He refused to come when I called him over. He said he feels too guilty and ashamed whenever he sees Mum," Julian said.

"Let's.." I stopped abruptly when the door opened and Father walked in.

"Father," we all called out standing from our chair. Since last night's occurrence, we haven't seen nor spoken to either mother or father. He took a seat in front of us while we stood quietly. He poured himself a drink and drank from his glass slowly.

"I never expected what happened yesterday to happen. I almost didn't believe it until you admitted to it yourselves. You bullied a girl? Your mate?" he asked in disbelief.

"We didn't know she was our mate then," Julian replied.

"That is not an excuse. It still doesn't change the fact that you made the life of an innocent girl miserable for no reason. I know you might think it was probably my fault for keeping a girl as young as she was as a maid. You will understand me better when you take a full position as the Alpha. I only did that because if I failed to restore order after what her parents did, other people would follow in their footsteps thinking it was the right thing to do since I failed to curb it. Alex, you are lucky you have your brothers by your side to help and guide you. Bullying aside, what the hell were you thinking toying with something as sacred as the mate bond?" he asked.

"I heard there was a back-and-forth rejection and now she re-married," he continued.

"Emma isn't married. We will bring her back. You don't have to worry," Philip assured him.

"You had better. I really hope that innocent girl is able to forgive you after everything you have done.

I will need to come up with something to hold up the council before these issues are resolved. The mate bond isn't a plaything boys, I hope you know that?" he inquired.

"We understand better now," I replied. I would understand the pain that comes with it since I was suffering from rejection the most.

"How about mother?" Julian asked curiously.

"It will do you all good to stay away from her for now. She's still very angry," he responded. He stood up and turned around to leave.

"You might think I was hard on you while you grew up but everything I ever did was for you and our family's sake. Remember that. You are all grown-ups and you've found your mate. Don't make a decision you would forever live to regret," he said before walking

away.
