His Mate, His Girlfriend

Chapter 22

“Solara jumped on top of the bed, making Lilac startled out of be with a shriek. The twins are laughing. Lilac looked disoriented for bit and rubbed her eyes..

‘Lara, Cay, this is your aunty, Lilac,” told them.

‘she has such beautiful hair,” Solara smiled. Indeed, Lilac has lovely thick hair that reached her butt. She usually wore it in styles of braids but didn’t today.

Love, who's kids are these?” Lilac looked sober now, her eyes

widening at the realization. | nodded in agreement, and she clutched

her hand over her mouth.

No, are they...” | nod at her incomplete sentence.

Oh my goddess, they are so perfect,” she croaked, opening her arms toward the twins. They eyed me, and when | nodded, they went to her. She was kissing them repeatedly. | watched as they talked, introducing themselves and what they liked.

| like your hair, aunty Lila,” my daughter said.

Thank you. | like yours too,” Lilac said. Solara flipped her hair with her hand dramatically, and said,

Thanks,”

Dada and | made breakfast. Let’s go eat,”

Dada?” Lilac mouthed me. | gave her the look that said I’d explain to

her later.

| spent the whole day with Lilac since it was a public holiday, and we didn’t have work while the kids went to Amazing Land. They recently opened large goldfish tanks, and Solara was obsessed with goldfish, while Cay loves the sharks there.

Ellis’s pov

She has f ucking someone in her life. | was angry and growling. H conversation with that man was replaying in my head. | threw the computer on the desk to the floor.

“| don’t know why you're acting this way. You have a mate,” Jace shrugged, and my angry eyes befell him. He rolled his eyes and threw himself on the sofa, not bothered by my glare.

He was right. | was being selfish about this. | was angry at Love for being with another man, yet | had a woman in my life - my mate.

‘Who you can’t get rid of,’ sneered my lycan.

| calmed down, but my anger resurfaced when the conversation replayed in my head. She was fond of this man. | could tell by the way

she smiled as she talked to him. How long has she been seeing this man? Were they f ucking? Of course, they were!

“F uck!” | roared.

How could | not act crazy when she was standing there, looking as breathtaking as always, and speaking sensually to another man? | wanted to kill that man. The door to my den opened, and Charlotte entered the office. She smiled sweetly at me, but | didn’t smile back. She walked towards me with her heels clicking against the floor and

looked around.

What happened here?” she scowled, looking at the broken laptop.

What do you want?” | asked icily. She took a sharp breathe before. she answered,

“You told me we could go out on a date today,” she beamed,

gesturing to her clothing. The skirt she wore looked like what a child would wear, and her breasts were almost reaching her collarbone in her tank top.

I'm not in the mood,” | answered.

Oh, but baby... You promised me!” she pouted. Her voice was annoying me. Honestly, with each passing day with her, | couldn't hide my disdain for her.

We could go to the new Aquarium. Cute couples go there on dates and then grab a bite to eat. | won’t be in your way after,” She was al

always trying to get me to do stuff with her, but | knew she wanted to be seen with me so that reporters could take pictures of us and we could look to be in love. However, she doesn’t know my grandmother, the matriarch of our family, Christina Carter, blocked any media outlet from publishing anything about Charlotte and me.

Grandmother disliked Charlotte and said she wasn't fit to be in our

family. Even the pack members don’t know her, and a few who know her, don’t speak highly of her as they did Love.

‘That’s not a bad idea. You haven't been there since we opened it, and besides, we can get inspiration for the new virtual fish app we were discussing,” Jace piped, suddenly interested. | caught a glance at Charlotte who was glaring at the beta. She didn’t like he made it about business.

“Ok. I'll go with you,” | said. Charlotte gave me a small smile. She knows I'd refuse if she whined. Jace followed us, making Charlotte angrier, but he didn’t care.

Shouldn't you be with your mate, beta? It is a public holiday today,” Charlotte sneered.

Shouldn't you be wearing appropriate clothes? You look like a sl ut in that outfit, not like a Luna,” he countered.

Luna? | wanted to question. Charlotte was not my Luna, CC made that clear. | zoned out, my mind going to Love. She consumed my mind these days.

Are you going to let him talk to me like that?” Charlotte screeched, getting me out of my thoughts. These two always manage to give me a headache between their fighting.

“Jace,” | warned.

We reached the Aquarium in ten minutes. Upon hearing we were here, the managers and staff rushed to welcome us. Charlotte linked her arm to me and was smiling from ear to ear. The Aquarium was a wonder to the eyes and had different types of sea creatures. Even the roof was made of a tank full of sharks. | was already getting bored,

H

Can we leave now?” | asked Charlotte, she seemed to be enjoying herself.

Not yet, ten more minutes, please,” she begged. | only sighed.

Twas so engrossed in my thoughts that | didn’t immediately see the child that barreled towards me and hugged my legs. | looked down with a surprised expression on my face. Her face was painted colorfully with fish pictures, and was smiling at me, her big blue eyes shining with happiness. | could feel my inner lycan stir within me.

Daddy!” She squealed happily.

He’s My Daddy!

Daddy! You're here!”

The little girl cheered, clinging to my legs. | didn’t know how to react, Jace and Charlotte stared at me with open mouths, surprised. | looked down at the little one. She lifted her tiny arms so that | could carry her, and | did.

“I've been missing you, Daddy,” She said with her little, sweet voice.

| smiled at her gently. Her presence brought so much joy to my heart, and this feeling was new to me.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Hello, little princess,” | greeted her. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me.

Daddy, you're back!” she was so excited. | only hugged her back, closing my eyes as | did. She pulled away and beamed at me. “What is your name?” | asked gently

You know my name, Daddy,” she giggled. Her laughter was a loy melody to my ears. | exchanged a glance with my beta, but he wa clueless as | was. This child looked no older than five, yet she was comfortable to be carried by a stranger.

“Are you lost, Princess?” Jace asked gently.

No, | saw my Daddy as | was watching the goldfish and ran here. I’m here with my Dada and brother,” she explained confidently. That’s not your dad,” Charlotte scoffed sharply, annoyed by the hold- up. | glared at her.

He’s my Daddy! I have his picture!” the little girl shouted, upset with Charlotte.

Where's your dada?” | asked. She looked like she was about to cry now, , and my heart clutched as if it was being squeezed painfully.

“Dada is over there,” she choked quietly. She wasn’t looking at me anymore as she struggled to get down. | put her down and knelt to her level.

‘What is your name?” | asked.

“You're not my daddy?” she ignored my question and asked one of her own. After a long time, | shook my head with a sorry expression.

Seriously, mothers need to do better. They will show anyone they see on TV and Magazines to kids as their fathers... Society is broken,” Charlotte sighed, and | growled at her.

No, he’s my daddy,” the little girl was sad, hot tears running down her eyes. | wiped her tears away and kissed her forehead just as a growl resounded. | turned to the sound, and a furious man stood behind me.

“Don't touch her!” he rushed to us and picked the little girl. She hid her face in the crook of his neck as she cried silently. | wanted to comfort her, but her father seemed to detest me.

“Well, Sir, watch your daughter. She came to-” Charlotte started but was interrupted by Jace,

“Luis?” Jace called. The man faced him, and | saw the anger fade on

his face, whereas irritation took over.
