“Hey there little man” Drakes says, kissing his cheek, while Titus hands tangled in his hair before he tries to eat it.
I walked over untangling Drake’s hair from our son’s fingers while he tried popping it in his mouth. My mother comes down the stairs with Ashley in her arms, my father following behind her. She comes over giving me a kiss on the cheek and handing her to me.
“We will head off, ring me if you need me” She says, sending a glare to Drake before my father comes over and kisses my forehead.
“I suggest you don’t fuck this up son” My father tells him before walking out. Drake nods reaching out and holding Ashley’s little hand between his fingers. She reaches for her brother and Drake holds out his arm wanting to take her.
“What are their names?” He asks, taking her from me so he has one in each arm. He walks out sitting on the lounge while I follow him as he sits down on the couch with both of them in his lap.
“Titus, and Ashley” I tell him and his head snaps toward me, he presses his lips in line and gives a nod and I see his bottom lip quiver as he hugs them close. I feel hands go around my waist before feeling Tate put his chin on my shoulder as he watches Drake with them.
“Your parents are visiting?” Drake asks and I shake my head.
“No, they live with Chase and Lana at the moment, having drama’s with Ryker. It was safest if they left” I tell him.
“I saw Ryker this morning” Drake says looking over at me, his eyes going to Tate when he kisses the side of my neck. He looks away and I am hit with longing through the bond.
“Where did you see him?” I ask. No one had seen him in a month and Zane said he was hardly home and when he was he was quite unbearable.
“Near Avalon City”
“And why were you there?” I ask, wondering if he was trying to break the bond, not that I cared now if he did. I had Tate and I could live with that.
“Titus was wandering, today is the first day in six months I have been in this form”
“You have been in wolf form for six months?” Asks Tate and I could tell he was impressed most people spend the majority of their time in human form. It was a little unnatural to remain in wolf form for more than a few days, the human side usually wanting control back.
Drake nods before looking back at the kids.
“So can I stay here or do I need to leave?”
“You can stay, unless you have a problem with it,” Tate says looking at me.
“I am fine with it” I tell them before Tate’s voice flits through my head.
“Do you want him to go or not? If you don’t want him here Lana, I will make him leave” He says and I could feel Drake watching us again.
“It’s fine but he sleeps on the couch” I reply and Tate nods before kissing my cheek.
“Come, I will get you some clothes so you can shower” He says, grabbing Ashley off him. Drake nods before standing with Titus in his arms, he comes over handing him to me. I take him before walking into the kitchen and placing him in his high chair, Tate doing the same with Ashley while I make their lunch. Both of them walk upstairs while I remain a little uneasy about the situation. I was glad he was okay and as much as I hate to admit it I do miss him, but I refuse to be hurt by him again, refuse to let him hurt our kids.
Lana POV
I mulee up the babies food before sitting down on a chair in front of them, feeding them their carrot and pumpkin puree. I could hear the shower running upstairs before Tate walked down and grabbed another chair and took one of the bowls from me and helped me feed them. Tate slices finger before dropping a few drops intp Ashley’s bowl. Like my sister and I she was full Hybrid, Titus however didn’t have the same craving for blood she did. Even without teeth she has tried to bite us, or should I say gum us. So Tate gives her a little blood each day in her food to stop her from trying to eat her brother.
When we finish feeding them I clean up the dishes and the bench while Tate cleans their highchairs. Just as we finish Drake walks in his face shaven and with fresh clothes on.
“Have you got any clippers?” He asks Tate. Tate shakes his head. “No Lana usually cuts my hair” He says.
Drake nods before walking over and grabbing Ashley from her highchair just as Tate grabs Titus. “She drinks blood already?” Drake asks. He must be able to smell it on her. “She is a Hybrid Drake, why is that a problem?” I ask.
“No of course not, just a little shocked” He says.
I grab the scissors down out of the box on top of the fridge. Tate takes Ashley from him walking up stairs to change them.
“Want me to cut your hair” I ask Drake.
“Only if that’s all you plan on cutting?” he replies and I raise an eyebrow at him. He follows me to the dining table and I pull out a chair. His hair coming off and dropping to the floor as I cut it.
“You’re not going to make me look like an idiot are you?” He asks.
“Does Tate look like an idiot?” I ask and he shakes his head the scissors slicing his ear. He hisses slightly. “Sorry, you need to stay still they are sharp” I tell him holding my breath when his scent hits me. My gums tingle, I was used to Tates blood now, but smelling Drakes after so long made my mouth water. Moving to the front of his to cut the front, Drake sits silently letting me cut his hair. I was nearly done when I felt his hand touch my hip, sparks moving over my skin. I look down at his hand and he pulls it back dropping it in his lap. “Sorry” he mutters.
“It’s fine” I tried to tell him, my words coming out distorted as my fangs slip out. His face snaps up to look at me. He goes to say something then stops and I step away from him. He runs his hand over his hair. “Thanks” I nod, putting the scissors away.
“Have you eaten?” I ask him.
“Yeah I had lunch with your brother” He says.
“How is Ryker?” I ask him.
“Good threatened to kill me, I see he is Alpha of Alpha’s now” I nod.
“Yeah he took over a couple weeks ago, him and dad got in a fight over it. Luckily mum listened to Arial warning from Avery” I tell him.
I spent the afternoon doing housework and avoiding Drake. Drake and Tate watched the kids when suddenly Tate was called away by Elias with something going on with the borders or our pack and Arial’s.
