Chapter 11
Alexander
Alexander is in complete shock. He knew the pup is his. He wasn’t expecting the little girl to be his too. To think yesterday he didn’t have any children and today he finds out that he has two. The little girl, Madison, looks so sick. Shifters, even half breeds, don’t usually get sick. Definitely, not to this extreme. He didn’t know what could be causing this to happen to her. However, Jessica looks pissed and seems to be directing it at Alexander. He doesn’t blame her, he didn’t have the answers. He needs to turn this around or it’s going to go south real fast.
“Calm down, we will figure this out.” He assures her. “How long has he been shifting?” Jessica looked up at him like he is throwing her a lifeline.
“For the last two nights. Today is the first time he has shifted during the day.”
“What happened? Did he get mad?”
“I guess. He didn’t want to take a nap and he stormed off. Madison started getting sick and while I was with her, he snuck out.” She explained. Alexander found it a little funny the little tike escaped. He tightened his jaw so he wouldn’t laugh. That’s all he needs is for her to have another reason to be mad at him.
“When a shifter is young their emotions can fuel their change. He may or may not have meant to do it.” Alexander can see his son will give them a run for their money.
“How long has she been sick like that?” Alexander asks nodding towards the hall.
“Madison got sick the first time, a few hours before Michael shifted his first time.” She informs him.
“I should probably call Sebastian. He and Makenna will more than likely know what’s going on with them.” At least Alexander hopes they will.
“No,” Jessica said sternly. “I’m not letting anyone find out about them.”
“Well, I’m glad that’s the way you are with the children. However, Sebastian and Makenna are shifters too. Sebastian is the alpha of the O’Neil pack.” He tried to explain to her. “There isn’t a risk with them finding out, they won’t tell anyone.”
“I don’t know, Alexander.” Jessica began to pace in front of him. “Do you trust them?” She stopped in front of him.
“With my life.”
“Do you trust them with your children’s life?” She asked putting her hands on her hips.
“Jessica,” he took her hands in his. “I promise you, I won’t let anything happen to our children.”
It felt strange for him to say, ‘our children’. The thought of having children hasn’t crossed his mind. He thought he would find his mate first. Who would have thought fate would give him both through a one night stand? Now he just needs to convince her to stay rather than run off again.
“Okay as long as the children are always safe.” Jessica finally sat down. “They stay in my sight.” She warned.
“No problem.” Alexander said pulling his phone from his pocket.
“I’m going to check on the children.” Jessica got up and walked down the hall. She still looked worried.
Alexander stepped outside so he could call Sebastian with no interruptions. Please have an answer, he silently prayed while the phone was ringing.
“Alexander, I wasn’t expecting you to call this early. Did you find anything?” Sebastian asked right after answering.
“I did but that’s not why I’m calling.”
“Oh, do tell,” Sebastian sounds like he is ready for a long story.
“I will try to keep it short.” Alexander wants to get to the point quickly. “The guest that checked into cabin three, well she has been trying to get in touch with me.”
“Chloe called and said some woman came by for you.” Sebastian admitted. Jessica did say she went by the office.
“I stopped by cabin three on my way back from the other mountain. I found out some interesting news.”
“What’s that?”
“I have a set of twins I didn’t know about.”
“Chloe said she thought you have a child but she didn’t say anything about two.” Sebastian informed him.
Chloe knew? Why the hell wouldn’t she warn him about this sooner? Instead he was blindsided. She probably thought she was being cute. It’s just like Chloe to try and play match maker. A warning would have been nice though. He could have thought all this through before coming over here. There’s nothing he could do about any of that now.
“The thing is Michael can to shift, but Madison keeps getting sick. She looks rough, Sebastian.” Alexander admitted.
“Bring them up here. Makenna can take a look at Madison.” Sebastian suggested.
“Thanks, I will bring them up shortly.” Alexander hung up. Taking a deep breath, he went back inside to see his children and their mother.
