Instantly, I felt rage consume me. I looked at Mikko with narrowed eyes. "You can't keep them from me. I am their mother."
Mikko showed no indication that he was affected by my reaction. "I am keeping them safe. You can visit them whenever you're with me or with Finn. I don't want you showing your anger around my children. They are too young to learn fear of werewolves."
"I would never hurt them."
Mikko took a step closer with his hands coming towards me. "It's not about you hurting them on purpose. You're angry right now. I can see it in your eyes and by the way you're shaking."
I brought my hands out in front of me and watched them, they were definitely shaking. I took a deep breath, trying to regain the control over myself. "I don't want them to think that I've left them."
"They won't notice any kind of change. You will still be there; it'll just be different until your control is complete."
