“Can I think about it?”
I growl. “I’ll see you in court then!” I move to hang up on her when I hear her speak.
“Wait!”
I grit my teeth while Khan snarls in my head at my threat. “I want my sons, Elena.”
She growls, and I can feel a flicker of something through the bond, but it is so weak I can’t identify what it is. The bond at my end has been growing more and more each day. Her distance has been giving me mood swings. The entire pack has been walking on eggshells around me.
“Elena?” I ask, my eyes darting to the clock on my desk. I need an answer. I have an Alpha to meet.
“Fine, but for one night, Axton. I can’t be without them for longer than that.”
“But it’s okay for me not to see them at all?” I ask her.
“You know that’s different. I’m a fucking she-wolf. You know we fret without our pups.”
“Why? Because I’m an Alpha, I don’t give a shit about my own kids, Elena? You took them and ran from me.”
“Because you made me! You’ll never learn, will you? You ruined my life, Axton, and expect me just to forgive you. My own father nearly killed me because you leaked that fucking sex tape!”
“But you didn’t have to run from me. We could have worked things out! You rejected me. Don’t put the blame on me over this. You didn’t even give me a chance. Just rejected me and left!”
“And if I didn’t? Would it have changed anything, Axton? You still would have leaked that tape. Tell me I’m wrong.”
I grit my teeth, knowing she is right.
“I’m right, aren’t I?”
“Maybe I wouldn’t have,” I exhale, tasting the lie as it leaves my mouth. “I can’t change what I did, Elena. And you can’t keep punishing me for it. We have kids together. Don’t be a bitch and keep them from me just because you’re angry. You’ll only hurt them in the end,” I tell her.
Elena goes quiet for a second. “I’ll call you before I bring them over,” she says, hanging up before I can say anything else.
“Well, that went well, you twat! You’re a real fucking dick, you know that?” Khan snarls at me.
I don’t bother answering because he is right. Instead, I quickly save the number and notice a message from Eli saying he is waiting in the car for me. Grabbing my wallet and jacket, I head downstairs and walk down the driveway to where his car is parked.
Eli looks at me when I climb into the passenger seat.
“Don’t ask.” I wave him off, and he starts the car.
Still seething over her hanging up on me, I text her.
Me: You didn’t need to hang up on me.
It takes a few minutes, but I eventually get a reply.
Elena: The conversation was going nowhere. I’ll see you soon.
Me: So, is this your number or a burner phone?
Elena: Mine.
Me: Good. I’ll video call you tonight so I can see them.
She doesn’t text back. Twenty minutes go past when I finally give in and text her again.
Me: ??
