Knightly " That makes sense ," I laugh because her logic is flawless . " I promise it's not personal , Knightly . But they mean everything to me . I didn't have a good childhood growing up and I don't want that for them . I swear I'll let you and your mom see them whenever you want . I think it would be amazing for Aizen . But he doesn't need this , " she taps the screen . " He's a sweet innocent little boy and I will do anything to make sure that he stays that way for as long as I can help it . Ayrie too . She ' s got my temperament , but she's such a sweetie , " " You have a temper ? " I laugh . " I don't see it , " " You think I got to where I am being nice to people ? " she scoffs . " You're lucky you're a pretty boy with beautiful green eyes . That's my only weakness . I'm so lucky my son is a good boy and doesn't take advantage of that weapon ," we both laugh . " I can take that paternity test . If only to squash any doubt , " " I have none , " I shake my head . " I wouldn't be here if there were doubts , Phoebe , " " You know nothing about me , " she looks up at me . " I'm a really good judge of character . If it were anyone else , they would have tried to get to me the moment they found out about this . Someone else wouldn't be sitting here with me even when they're terrified out of their mind , " " I am , " she nods looking down at her hands . " I'm really scared ," " You don't have to be . Not of me anyway . My mom on the other hand is already baby- proofing her house and buying toys , " l'admit . She laughs . Holy shit , that sound is what drew me in when we met . I could have walked away after that picture but the sound of her voice , the sound of her laughter . The way her face . turned bright red with embarrassment . I almost broke all the promises I had made to my family that night . I considered throwing it all away for her . Sitting here with her now , I can't exactly bring myself to regret walking away . I didn't know if I was going to make I can't exactly bring myself to regret w it very long . I probably wouldn't have if I had marked her . I would have taken her down with me . Things would be completely different for us . " She did come off fiery ," she looks up at me . " If you like , this house can be yours . No one uses it anymore . If you're looking for a house . Personally , I think it's a whole lot better than Barbie's , " I need her close . Somewhere I can keep a close eye on them . " You are going to spoil the shit out of her , aren't you ? " she sighs . " Oh , yeah . She is going to walk all over me and I am going to do nothing to stop her , " I confirm . 11 " You are going to regret that for the rest of your life , " she laughs . She stands up to face . me . " I think we need a proper introduction , " " Okay , " I stand up and step down so we're at eye level with one another . " Hi , my name is Phoebe Altaha and I am the mother of your children ," she sighs with relief and holds out her hand for me . " It feels so good to say that ," I look down at it knowing that if I take it , if I make that connection , there will be no going back for either of us . If Perry or Violetta were here , they'd be laughing . I can't imagine how much she's tortured herself with this secret. As innocent as it is , I know how heavy a lie can be . I myself carry many . " Knightly Blake ," I put my hand in hers . " Ah ," she lets out the little squeak that got me into all this mess . A bolt of electricity shoots through my body and feel him stir inside of me . " That was weird , " " That was- " I rub my hand over my chest . " Would you like to see the house ? " " Um , I'd like to go home . I want to be with my kids . You know before things get heavy . I have to talk to them , " another no . " If that's what you want , " " That's what I want ," she says a little more relaxed . " I'll drive to my place and you can go from there , " " Right , we drove here in my car , " she nods . " I can't fucking believe I got in a car with a stranger . You have a way of making me seem helpless ," " Trust me when I say that no one believes you're helpless , Angel . I saw what you did at that school in Paris . They lost some of their biggest donations because of what happened ," " They should have fixed things the first time that kid put his filthy hands on my son ," she scoffs . " The first two times , I didn't do anything because he asked me to ignore it . There was no way I was going to let it go . Fuck the people . He still has those marks , " I try to hide the smile on my dumbass face because holy shit . She really does have a temper . Her face is red and she genuinely looks upset over two kids fighting . That's what kids do , but there's a sense of pride I can't overlook . Someone threatened her baby and she responded the way any she wolf would have . Tooth and claw . She's going to need that . Even if she doesn't shift when I mark her . My world demands it . I'm worried about how she's going to react when I tell her the t truth . But not about how she will fare in it . She's come this far without me and she's not alone anymore . I'll do whatever it takes to make sure the three of them are protected . There's no going back . I fucked us both and I'll make sure I make things right . Whatever it takes .
