His Mate, His Girlfriend

Chapter 62

“Witch,” | murmured, and she turned her face to me,

‘Witch? Am | a witch?” she asked in jest. Why did she find this amusing?

“]

Aren't you?” | grumbled.

Did | charm you, Luis?” she said with a sly smile. The sound of my name on her lips hit me differently. It felt so good to hear. Maybe it was her smooth British accent. Yes, it must be that.

Oh, | did,” she had a knowing gaze in her stare, nodding her pretty head. She exhaled sharply and turned on her heels,

| hope to see you around, Luis,” She said my name again, and my

heart raced. F uck!

| watched her meet up with a maid. They were discussing something.

Zeyneb. | repeated her name. There was something about her. She seemed peaceful and sweet. | made my way into the house and stopped between glass passageways when | saw a framed picture of Zeyneb across the hall. She was smiling. | raised my fingers and traced her face.

She must be the daughter of this family if her picture was hanging up there. | thought. | saw other family pictures, and indeed, she was part of the family. Zeyneb Carter. She was Ellis’ sister. Love had mentioned her to me once before in New York.

What are you looking at, Love?’ | asked Love. It was over three years ago. She was immersed in the magazine. She smiled. ‘Zeyneb Carter’s wedding pictures. She looked stunning,’ | didn’t look at the picture she showed me.

Don't look at their pictures, Love,’ | warned, picking Cayden from the floor.

‘| know | shouldn't, but Zey was a great friend, and I miss her. | can’t believe | missed her wedding,’ My best friend sighed.

Loki tore down the walls | created between us and let out a

hazardous growl. It was filled with anger and jealousy.

Married? The Witch is married, oh my f ucking goddess. | f ucked a married woman.

‘No, she is mine!’ My inner lycan roared.

Ellis and CC were glaring at Maleck who stood by the door with a sly smile on his lips.

“What the f uck are you doing in here,” Ellis roared at his cousin. His alpha aura was suppressing everyone.

Maleck’s neck inclined to the current alpha, and answered, ” Visiting Family,”

Maleck took a step forward and came straight to me.

“Love,” he said my name fondly in a deep voice. | didn’t expect him to do what he did next. He leaned in and kissed my cheek. Two growls thundered from David and Ellis. It made Charlotte whimper and go closer to her mate as she glared at me with envy. David pulled me away from Maleck by my waist and growled at him. Maleck’s eyes fixed on me, his lips curled in a charming smile.

It's lovely to see you again, Love,” only nodded, unable to find the right words to say to him in this situation.

Again?” Ellis asked his gaze on me.

‘Um, we met at a hotel,”

“What?!” | rolled my eyes at the growl from my ex and current boyfriend.

We bumped each other into the lobby as | was meeting up with Lila and Luis,” | answered with a roll of my eyes. What were they thinking?

“What are you doing in my house? You're not welcome after the muddle you've dragged us through!” CC shouted, her eyes flashing gold. It was obvious she didn’t like Maleck. However, considering the vilification and court proceedings he put them through in hopes of

getting the pack, her anger was justified.

Well, we were nearby, and | thought my children should meet their other family,” Maleck answered boldly as two boys came into view. They were about two or three years older than my children.

This is Finley and Axton, my children,” he said.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Ellis took a step back. Earlier he seemed like he wanted to attack his cousin, but he stepped back after seeing the children. My eyes went to CC. She was a little taken aback by seeing the children as well. One could tell they were part of the Carter lineage from their auras and scent even though it wasn’t as strong because only one of their parents was an alpha.

So, are we welcome to stay?” Maleck asked, eyeing Ellis. What was this man playing at? He hated the Carters now he came to introduce his children? The alpha and CC shared a glance. It was clear they didn’t trust Maleck. However, CC smiled slightly, looking at the handsome boys, and nodded.

Come on in, Children,” she said, and they rushed to her... She held

their shoulders lightly and moved away.

“What's happening here?” | heard Luis whisper in my ear as he appeared next to me.

“Later,” | whispered back.

That was so awkward, and there was a moment of silence until my

children came running down with happiness.

Granny, Matt showed us the rooms! They are so amazing!” The

twins were excited but stopped in their tracks once they were close, sensing the stress in the room. The twins’ gaze found mine instantly, yet went to Ellis’ side. He opened his arms, and they went to him. | snarled inwardly, I'm here too. He held them kindly as he always did.

My eyes snapped to Maleck. There it was. He wasn’t even trying to hide it. Anger and jealousy. Now, he had no reason to denigrate Ellis with lies about not having an heir. Maleck was so furious, that he couldn’t even hide it. It was the only thing he had against Ellis. His motive to challenge Ellis was gone now. | unconsciously moved closer to the kids.

“This is what should have been. You look perfect. Matthew! quick snap some pictures,” CC beamed. | hadn’t realized Ellis and | were standing closely together and away from everyone.

“Aren't they a perfect family of four?”

“Perfect family, indeed CC,” Melody and Seumo answered with

smiles. Jace nodded his approval like everyone else. | blinked at the flash of the camera and moved away. David was seething with anger, and so was Charlotte. Da mn.

What rooms were you talking about?” | asked my children as we go out to the garden.
