Chapter 208 Ansley is sitting in the living room when I come down to make breakfast . She stands up as I scared the shit out of her " Hey , " I greet her . She tenses up tightly when I go over to hug her . She relaxes a little and lightly taps my back . She always smells so good . " You okay ? " " Are you okay ? " she takes my hand tightly . " Nathan should never have left you alone . " " I'm okay . Thank you for what you did to my car . It saved us . " " I'll have it fixed immediately , " she nods . " I'm going to make breakfast . Join me . Have you eaten ? Want some coffee ? " " Okay , " she nods nervously . " How are you ? How is the baby ? " Maybe it's because she tried to kill me when we first met , but she's always so iffy around me . It's kind of cute . I set the big coffee maker because I have no idea who else is here . " I am surprisingly feeling better , " I admit . " I was a mess last night . I couldn't calm down for the life of me . The baby is fine . Resilient . I need to stop stressing her out so badly ." " Yes , I told Nathan it wasn't a good idea for you to be alone at the pack . He dismissed me and said you had it ." " I did , " I smirk . " I do . I wasn't expecting something as public as it was . I mean , I was picking the kids up from school . " I've never noticed that her eyes are a few shades lighter than Knight's . They flash between green and red . She links her fingers together and squeezes until her fingers begin to turn white . I set the eggs down and place my hand over hers . She jumps and looks up at me like she's been caught doing something wrong . " Sorry," she growls . " I'm okay . The kids are fine . " I try to reassure her . It's weird , but sometimes I swear it's Knight near me when she's around . " It shouldn't have happened in the first place , Phoebe . " She sighs and pulls away . " It would have happened even if Knight had been there . I know why you're here . " " Good . Knight called me for this reason . I wanted to do this from the start . He asked me to let you do this on your own . We can't risk you like this , Phoebe . Packs aren't rogues . Change is not something that happens without resistance . " " I understand , but I know you run a huge pack , Your dad talks about you like you're his tiny alpha goddess , and I know him . I know he's really hard on you . I would have asked for help , but we didn't exactly have a great start . " She looks away , almost annoyed , and I'm not sure if it's with me or herself . Knight walks in with the girls before she can say anything else . " Morning , Mommy , " Ayrie says and comes over to hug my leg . " Good morning , Phoebe , " Melody follows and does the same while yawning big . " We get cereals ? " Ayrie asks . 1/3 Chapter 208 " You don't want breakfast ? " I ask them . The two of them shake their head " Cereal , please , " Melody grins . " Okay , dining room . I'll be right there , " I motion to the double doors . Ayrie holds it open for Melody . " Aizen is in the shower . There was an incident between him and Ayrie , " he says , looking between me and his sister . " Good morning , Ansley " " What ? " she growls at him and stands up to leave . " Hey , don't be like that . We have to talk , " I remind them . Her eyes shoot to his . " You told her ? " she growls . " What are you talking about ? " he shakes his head . " She's talking about the pack . " " What are you talking about ? " I ask , looking between them . " What's going on ? " " Nothing , " she says , sitting back down . " Is everything okay ? " I ask . " I'm good , " Knight says and takes my hand . " You finally slept through the night . How are you feeling ? " " Better . I think being here in general makes me feel better ," I admit . " Good , " he kisses my cheek . " Coffee is in the pot already . Sit , " I say , grabbing a couple of bowls . " Did they fight again ? " " They've been communicating through their link , " he says . " I know . For a while now . They have access to me as well . " , " Aizen too ? " " Yeah , we've all been practicing to shut it on and off . What happened ? " " He was panicking last night , and she made him go to sleep . " " What ? She can do that ? " I laugh . " Is that bad ? Can he do it ? " " It means she's dominant over him . Nathan thought it was funny doing it to me when we were kids . It means she's mentally stronger than he is , and no . He can't . " " I forget you guys are twins , " I smile , pouring the milk over the cereal . " Be right back . " I take the girls their cereal and pause as I head back to the kitchen . Knight has repeatedly told me that the twins might have to share a mate . Vy and Vince might share a mate when they find theirs . Her reaction to us is always the same . Her demeanor around me is always off . They would have told me , right ? I walk into the kitchen to see Knight at the counter preparing three coffee mugs . With him here , Ansley doesn't even want to look up at me . I decide to drop it for now , but the question is lingering right on the tip of my tongue . I would know , wouldn't I ? Midnight 2/3 Chapter 208 would have said something . " I know you guys aren't going to like this , but I want to be included in whatever you're going to be doing . Up close and personal say Ans is the first to sigh heavily . Knight brings over two mugs and hands one to her and the other to me before going back for his own . He appears to be expecting this . " Angel , you're not going to like what's going to happen , " he says , sitting beside her . " Ansley and I don't agree on many things , but this is one we're going to work on together . " " The Knightly way , " Ansley adds . " I know . I know I've been very adamant about not using violence for this . I thought that if we took the high road on all of it , they would come willingly . For a little while , I thought it was working . I wanted to so badly ." " I know you did , " Knight rubs my back . " The kids were in the car with me . There were other kids there - parents who could have gotten hurt . Teachers . I can't just let shit like that happen . I can't call you when things get bad . I want to help . " I know that at first I didn't want this . I told you that I didn't care , but now that I'm here and that I've been learning the basics , I want to do this . It's weird , but it feels like I'm finally where I'm supposed to be . If that makes sense ." " It makes perfect sense , " she nods . " I think after this , she's going to need proper training . We can have a couple of proper tutors come in from England . " " If you do this , you're going to have to join the pack , Angel . Officially , as their alpha . You will have to bear the rune . We can make her do the study portion of the test while she's pregnant , " Knight scratches the back of his ear . " The rest can wait ." " I was kind of hoping she'd hate it . " She smirks . " You win this round , Nate . " AD
