Chapter 17

I would be lying if I said it didn't hurt. How Trenton moved on while we were still together. It hurts all over. I thought we'd be together until the end. But, other forces are at play. Never in a million years did I think that all of this is real.

"Okay, so we need to get the girls in the truck and how will this work?" I ask

"You and the girls can ride with me and Tabby can drive Trenton's truck." Tristen says

"Is that okay?" I ask Trenton

"That's fine just don't hurt my truck." He says looking at Tabby

She rolls her eyes and pretends she's looking at her phone.

I pack the girls some stuff they may need and toys. We've gotten the car seats in Tristens truck and now we have to try to get the girls in their seats without waking them up.

This may or may not go well.

We've gotten Trish and Lizzie in their seats but Mia woke up. I'm currently nursing her trying to get her to go back to sleep so I can slip her in her infant seat.

Once I get her in her seat we are good to go.

"Just follow me Tabby." Tristen tells her

"Yes, Alpha." She responds

We start pulling out of the drive way and Trenton starts to gas on the truck heavily. Tabby is doing the same behind us.

"What's wrong?!" I ask

"Hyran is here!" Tristen yells

"We have to get to the portal now! Get in the back with the kids and hold on!" Tristen yells

I climb in the back and hold onto my babies as they are now starting to cry from being woken up.

I see Tabby is behind us still in Trenton's truck. Good. We all need to make it to the portal soon.

"We're near the portal hold on" he shouts.

We are now in the wolves plain. But something is wrong.

Tristen is mind linking Tabby.

We've stopped and are watching for Trenton and Tabby. My heart is in my stomach. I didn't think we were in danger. My babies could haven't gotten hurt or worse if we didn't go get them. I can't dwell on this or I'll go insane.

"Here they come" Tristen says and I look out the back glass and see headlights.

Tabby slams on the breaks and closes the portal. Once it's closed she gets out and hold her hands up and starts chanting. It looks like a force field coming from her hands.

"She's putting up a protective barrier so Hyran can't get in. You're all safe now." Tristen says while rubbing my back.

I nod and continue to love on my babies.

Trenton comes running to the truck and opens the door checking on the babies.

"They're okay." I say

He reaches in and touches them to confirm. See, I don't see how what Tara said verses how he behaves with them is adding up.

"Can we go to the pack house now? I need to get my babies in bed again." I ask Tristen

"Yes, that's a good idea. Once they are settled in Trenton and I will go to the holding cells. Tabby will stay with you and the children on my floor while we're gone. Tommy and Jake are still in cells." Tristen says.

Trenton nods and goes back to his truck and gets in the drivers seat. Tabby follows and get in the passenger seat. I always swore that he loved that truck more than me.

Once we arrive at the pack house, Trenton meets me at Tristens truck and we start getting babies out. Lizzie is asleep again but Mia and Trish are awake. Trish wants her daddy to pack her and Mia is clung to me like a spider monkey.

"I can get her is y'all are okay with it?" Tristen says

"Would you?" I ask

"Just don't drop her." Trenton spits

I roll my eyes. And they say werewolves are territorial…

We go through the garage elevator again to get to Tristen's floor.

I think Trenton's eyes popped out of their sockets.

"Yeah, that was my reaction too." I say

"Umm, so, I hope you don't mind but I had a room set up for the girls when I met you." Tristen says looking nervously at me.

"Okay… why?" I ask

"Just in case you did accept me" he says

"Okay, this is a lot. I know I have done a lot of wrong and have a pregnant mate but these are still my kids and Bex is still my wife. I'm not an idiot I see the chemistry between you two but let's not throw it in my face. Okay?" Trenton says

"I'm apologize. It was not my intent to rub anything in your face. I just wanted Bex to know her and the children are always number one for me." Tristen says

"Well, let's see that room! If it's anything like what you prepared for me, my babies are going to have a fairytale room." I say

Trish perks up at that and no longer wants daddy to hold her. She wants to see this room. She grabs Trenton's hand and is pulling him along.

This is beyond awkward but I now the girls need both of us. And what child doesn't want her parent to see what new room they have?

Tristen opens the door and wow. Just wow.

It's amazing. Trish is swirling and dragging Trenton inside the room. A huge set of three beds like a bunk bed but with three and stairs is in the middle. Everything is pink, purple and white. There is a tons of glittery things. Toys neatly lined in bins. There is a crib and changing table on the other side of the beds.

Oh, my heart. Lizzie is now awake and right behind Trish looking at everything.

I think I see Trenton crying. No! He doesn't need to feel bad or less than. He's been nothing short of a great dad and provider for our girls.

As I'm going over to say something I see Tristen go over to him. He reaches his hand out for a shake then when Trenton accepts he bring him in for a hug. They are talking about something but I leave them to it and go show my babies the room.

Tristen and Trenton have left to go check on Tara. I have Trish and Lizzie tucked in their own beds. It took them a bit to calm down and want to go to sleep. I think Tabby did some sort of sandman move because now they are both asleep. Lizzie normally snuggles me or Trenton to go to sleep but not tonight. Mia is in my arms, nursing.

Tabby is checking in on the girls again for me.

I am in the living area trying to get Mia to sleep when tabby comes and tells me she is needed in the cells.

"Okay, is everything alright?" I ask

"Oh, yeah. Tristen just wants me to check on something then I'll be back." She says

"Okay, thank you but you don't have to come back. I think I'm going to go lay down in the other bed in the girls room with Mia." I say

"Okay, I'll let them know. Get some rest. It's been an eventful night. Would you like me to help you get some rest?" She says and smiles

"That would be great." I say exhaustedly

Once I lay down with a sleeping Mia beside me, tabby whispers something and I drift to sleep.
