Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

40. The Twins' Secret

AURELIA

It gladdens my heart and blessed my soul to see my kids having a good time after sulking around the room throughout yesterday. I've also created time to spend with them. Alpha Tristan decided to join us for our family play date after his training session with the representatives who would be taking part in tomorrow's finals.

And here we all are, in a small garden close to the apartment building and a bit private.

"I'd love to read with you, Alpha Tristan," Kyle replied respectfully and with a wide grin.

Alpha Tristan muttered to him, adjusting Katie's weight in his arms, "You know you are allowed to call me just Tristan like Katie does, right, Kyle? You both are my favorite twins in the whole world."

Kyle's smile widened as he nodded eagerly. What I would give to have a stable family with my kids... Hell, what I would give to have a father figure in our little family. The way Alpha Tristan relates with them makes me want that for my babies.

As If Katie could read my thoughts, she exclaimed, giggling as she wrapped her arms around Alpha Tristan's neck, "I wish to call you dad instead of your name. I wonder why you aren't my daddy, Tristan."

Okay, I never said Tristan has to be their dad but of course, Katie had her own thoughts.

"Katie." I cautioned her.

But Alpha Tristan took words out of my mouth when he queried my daughter with a light smile on his face, "And who said I can't be your daddy, Katie? In fact, you can call me Dad henceforth and you too Kyle."

My mouth hung open as I stared at Alpha Tristan like he had grown two heads. He was raising my kids' hopes but who was I to complain? If he wanted them to call him dad, I would gladly allow it... he could take Raiden's place in their lives for all I care. Kyle muttered shyly, "I kinda prefer Papa since I call her Mama." My son gave me a quick look. The revealed part of his lower face turned red as he flushed.
