Chapter Fifty-sevenThe QuestioningMaxon’s POVMy stomach rustled with happiness and excitement, I would be with my kids for two whole days, without an hindrance by their mother.I would be spending the next 48 hours with my kids, all alone with them. If only the judge would approve that, I would be the happiest man alive.“We do not have a problem with that, your honor.” Sophie’s judge stated.My whole body shook with excitement, I would be with my kids, I would be with them for two good days, I just couldn’t wait for the hearing to be over and for me to go home with my kids.Now, the judge didn’t have a reason to turn that down, since Sophie and her attorney were okay with it.“With that, I accept the opposition attorney’s request that the kids should be with their father for the next two days. The next hearing for this case has even scheduled to the next two days.” He said.I felt like jumping up and screaming on top of my lungs, I was going to have my kids with me, and even thous
Chapter Fifty-eightDay One With My KidsMaxon’s POVWe got home minutes later and i picked Asher up in my arms and picked up the wheelchair from the car trunk, setting him down on it.I wheeled him and Amara walked in front of us. We all got into the house and I offered them some chocolate.“You should take this till I get the food ready.” I smiled and took my time to kiss their foreheads before heading to the kitchen.Preparing meals wasn’t something hard for me, I would always do that back in the werewolf kingdom with Sophie. I would even prepare the meals single-handedly before she wakes up, it wasn’t a new thing.I looked in the fridge and searched for the available groceries which I could make a meal from. I decided to make them pasta and a little desert.I set to it, stealing glances at the kids as they chomped down their chocolate. I wished it could continue this way, I knew there was no forever as I had just less than two months to live, but I still wanted to live the remaini
Chapter Fifty-nineThe AbductorMaxon’s POVWhere could he be? Where could my son be? Who took him from this place? Where could he have gone? All these questions raced through my mind with my pounding heart.I couldn’t find answer to any of them, I could remember leaving Asher out there and telling him not to go anywhere, where could he have gone?I looked around, to see if he was anywhere close, but he was nowhere to be found, there was no trace of him, my heart raced.Where could my son be? I was sure he would still be there if he wasn’t taken away or if something hadn’t happened, I was sure there was something wrong.“Asher!” I called out, but no answer came, “Asher!” I called again, but it was still the same, Asher was nowhere to be found.My stomach grumbled, it felt as though life left my body that minute, I couldn’t tell where my son was, I couldn’t tell where he could have gone and what might be wrong with him, I was in a mess, my mind was in a complicated state, I couldn’t th
Chapter SixtyIrresponsible FatherSophie’s POVI couldn’t get my mind off my kids, I wanted to be with them too, but Maxon was working and doing everything he could just to have them taken away from me.I looked around in the room and it felt so empty, empty as the way I felt when Maxon threw me away from his life and out of the kingdom years ago, I felt so empty that I v couldn’t do anything.I just laid there on the bed, staring right at the ceiling and wondering what the kids could be doing now, if they were having fun just like Maxon had promised them, if they were happy and excited.I had never been away from them since I gave birth to them, I had never spent a day without them, but now I would have to spend two days without them, it was very difficult for me.I wanted to see them, to be with them, but how could I do that? Attorney Ian had told me to let him be with the kids for the two days and not show up to disturb them because that could affect the case, but how do I just s
Chapter Sixty-oneHide And SeekSophie’s POVMy heart pounded in my chest, my legs felt frozen, and glued to the floor that I couldn’t move. I watched as Asher screamed as his wheelchair rolled down the park. This was all because of Maxon.I shook away these thoughts and realized that I had to save my son. I picked my legs and ran after him, calling on him, “Asher!”He held the wheelchair, trying to stop the tires from rolling, it there was just little he could do. He couldn’t even get down from it, his legs were not functioning at all.My heart thumped in my chest, my legs shook with fear as I ran. What if something happens to him? What if he falls off the wheelchair and hurt himself? I had to save him.I ran with all my might, just to close the gap between us, but it seemed as thought the gap became longer and longer as I continued to run towards him.“Asher!” I called again, my eyes already filled with tears. My son was in danger right before my eyes and I was unable to save him, w
Chapter Sixty-twoThe Connection Maxon’s POVThe morning sun seeped into the room through the window and shone on my face. I opened my eyes one after the other, my neck hurt from just resting it at the edge of the bed.I had to stay alert all night to see if Sophie would wake up and need anything after she passed out the night before.I wasn’t sure if the reason she passed out until I saw a small cut on her head. I had seen the bleeding on her arm before and I simply thought she was restless which made the bandage all the dressing loose, but it seemed as though something more than that happened.I wasn’t sure of what really happened and I didn’t want to question Asher, I wasn’t even sure if he was okay with me yet after finding out that I was his father and I had refused to tell him. I wanted Sophie to wake up and tell me what really happened, what went wrong when Amara and I were in the restroom, I really wanted to know. It seemed as though some sort of accident occurred, consideri
Chapter Sixty-threeThe Trip 1Sophie’s POVAs I stepped out of the bathroom, I could feel the excitement building up inside of me. I wasn’t sure of where Maxon was taking us to, but one thing I was sure of was that it was going to be fun.Maxon was good at planning fun and exciting trips, and I was sure this one wouldn’t be an exemption.I smiled softly as I wiped my hair with the towel in my hand, making sure I drain every droplet of water from it. And then I stood there in the room, wondering what I should wear and how I was going to go with them if I didn’t have what wear.I was still so lost in thought and wondering when a knock came at the door of the room, before I could move to open it, the door came open and Maxon came in with a small box and dropped it carefully on the bed.“You should wear this.” He said.He didn’t wait for me to say anything before heading out of the room. A soft smile creeped onto my lips again, why was he being so unusual, why was he being so weirdly swe
Chapter Sixty-fourWolf DesireMaxon’s POVI watched as Sophie walked away to change. I had ordered clothes and a bikini for her, and strangely, I couldn't wait to see her in them. I was eagerly anticipating her return to see how she looked.I smiled softly, feeling my cheeks burn. I didn’t know what this feeling was, but Leo seemed up to something, something very naughty. It was my wolf’s doing; Leo was responsible for these strange feelings.“You are welcome, sir,” a voice said to me.I turned back to find one of the security personnel, a big smile on his face. “As you have rented this place out for 24 hours, we have the kitchen staff working for you and every other segment here, so feel free to order anything you want,” he continued.I smiled. It would be the perfect trip. I had always wanted to go to the beach with Sophie when we were together. I made several plans in the past, but none ever worked out. It was either I was busy with something, or something came up with Sophie. I g
