And just as he opened his lips to say anything the twins cautiously walked out into the living room staring wide eyed at the two of us.
"Mommy are you okay?" Zoey frowned rushing to my side.
"I'm fine sweetie." I assured her smoothing down her wet hair.
"Joey I'm sorry bud." Jake apologized rubbing the slightly longer hair on his head.
"Leave." Joey frowned walking around him to wrap his arm around my waist as much as he could.
Jake stared at us before standing to his feet. "I'm sorry Ariana." He mumbled before storming out leaving me confused.
Why would he be sorry.
I'm the one that's sorry I wanted to shout. I never wanted him to feel like we pushed him out of our family because we loved him. But he was trying to replace someone who would ever be replaced.
But seconds later my answer came.
Because the next person who walked through that door was the last person I would ever expect to have helped jacob.
Heath.
Ariana Belle
"Heath..."
My arms tightened against the twins. Wishing, praying that he wouldn't set his wicked eyes on them.
They stood there silent, already feeling the tension and fear.
What do I do?
Looking around the room there were only two exits. One, Heath was currently blocking with his body. His broad shoulders took up most of the space and his arms of course didn't help the situation.
And the second was behind me, leading into the woods.
What the hell am I going to do!
"My beautiful mate." He chuckled his eyes brightening as he looked my body up and down. Finally resting his gaze on my neck.
"Good you have not been marked. I would have killed that pup." He grinned opening his arms to me.
Flinching at his words I pushed the twins farther behind me.
"Heath wh-what are you doing here? Your family is worried sick about you?"
I tried to sound normal only raising my brows in question.
His arms flopped back down to his sides and he began walking in farther.
I had no choice.
Dear goddess please let Caleb be close.
'Rosie I hope you're ready...'
Hearing her confirmation I stood with my chin held high.
"Let the twins go and I'll go with you willingly. If not I will kick, scream, hit, bite, everything that will make your trip a waste."
His smile was quickly wiped off replaced with a look of disapproval.
"My Luna you do not make the rules here. I am the Alpha and you will bow down to me, your mate."
Flinching back I bit down on my lip until it began to bleed. The metallic taste invading my mouth.
"But since I have no use of those ... pups, they may go freely." He shrugged wiping of invisible dirt from his shoulders.
My shoulders sagged in relief. Turning the door nob I slammed open the back door, holding my twins hands. Their eyes wide open staring up at me in question.
"Oh no love!" His voice boomed making the three of us jump in fright.
I could feel his arm snacking around my waist pulling me away from my kids and into his chest. A shiver of disgust ran down my spine as he laid an open mouthed kiss to my neck.
