"Csit with me," | muttered to the twins, feeling the weight of the past crushing my mind as | let the painful
memories flow.
"Are you sure you want to tell them?" Inara asked me, worried about the sthing | have been worried about-
Protecting the kids from the darkness | experienced in the past.
"If not all, they still need to know some. | can't keep lying to them. Especially Katie. She already thinks Raiden is
her Hero." | snorted, feeling a bit jealous.
Was | doing this because | was jealous of the relationship the kids were building with Raiden? Maybe.
Despite the few good he had done during our forced stay, | still didn't want him to steal my kids from me. The
Raiden | married always had an ulterior motive. | was finding it difficult to believe that he had really changed.

the tale.
"Do you mean Larisa?" Kyle asked, holding my gaze.
"Yes, baby. Your dad and Larisa were a couple before we both discovered that | was his mate. Your dad didn't like
that but he was forced to marryand choseover Larisa but he never likedor markedlike most
mates do to their partner." | explained, trying my best to not reveal any traumatizing details to the kids.
"But you are a beautiful, kind, and brave person. Why didn't he like you?" Katie asked with a frown.
"Sometimes, we can't choose who our heart wants to love but we can always choose to be kind to others
regardless of who we love," | muttered, cleaning my daughter's wet face.
Katie's frown deepened, "But Raiden wasn't kind about it. He was bad to you."
"Sadly, yes," | confirmed. "I tried to express my love to him but | was met with a brick wall. He kept being mean
even though Larisa was sent away from the pack. He blamedfor the separation and immediately went back
to her the second she returned to the pack three years after your dad married me."
"That's bad," Kyle said stiffly. | had never heard him use such a tone.
"Yes and since he couldn't letgo,

have one with my mate when | grow up Dad was really bad."
"And you will have that, baby. You deserve the world." | assured my daughter, kissing her cheeks.
"And you deserve the world too, Mama." Kyle etched, hugging my side.
A warm feeling spread in my stomach as his words echoed in my ears. "Thank you, baby."
"Why did you tellRaiden wasn't a bad person when | asked you?" Katie asked, pouting.
| sighed, "Because | didn't want to ruin your chances. You needed to get to know him yourself and from the look

"I'm sorry for being a bad girl, Mom. | didn't know better." Katie apologized, hiding her face in my side as well.
"You are a brave girl, Katie, and | love you." | assured her once again before including Kyle, "I love both of you."
"We won't disobey you ever again, Mama. We love you and want you to be happy. We all can be happy with
Alpha Tristan. He's a good man." Kyle muttered, unknowingly remindingof Tristan's failure to get back to me
as he promised.
"Yes, baby." | replied regardless but also added, "You don't have to hate Raiden because of the past. He is your
dad and he is trying to make it up to you-"
"He should try making it up to you first." Kyle retorted coldly, holdingtight.
"Yes. We don't want him as our dad." Katie supported him and | realized | had created two monsters.
Was this what | wanted? Or have | made another mistake?
Before | could get trapped in my thoughts, Kyle etched, "You never told us what happened to Grandma Dakota.
Why haven't we seen her since we arrived even though she lives here?"
My kids still don't know about Dakota's death even though | have mentioned her to them a few times in the past.
Now how do | break the news?
