The Reawakened Mates and their Quintuplets #Chapter 29 - Discoveries
Kadeem“Kadeem.”Hearing the familiar voice behind him, Kadeem swiveled in his chair, his eyes soon falling on the woman he’d expected to find.“Hello, grandma,” he drew out, watching as the woman smoothly walked into the room. However, she soon stopped, giving him a quirk of her brow.“Aren’t you going to offer me a seat?” she questioned. “You know…that’s what your son did this afternoon when he saw me hobbling around. I see he has better manners than you do.”Kadeem resisted the urge to shudder at his grandmother’s words - the word “son” slithering under his skin. However, his gaze instead became more fixed on her features.“Please, sit,” he murmured out slowly just before the woman took the seat across from him. The moment she gave him a knowing smirk, he continued.“I know all about the little stunt you pulled,” Kadeem informed her. “Sam showed me the tapes.”“Well, I just wanted to meet my grandchildren for myself,” she announced without a hint of remorse. Again, her words made h
The Reawakened Mates and their Quintuplets #Chapter 30 - Give and Take
ArdalI can’t stop fidgeting. I’m not pacing anymore, but my fingers still twitch at my sides or mindlessly brushing escaped hairs out my face every few seconds.I’m supposed to be meeting with Kadeem for another training session. It’s the first time I’ll see him since the incident at the studio or after I made the call to Merrick. I have no idea what to expect, but I know I need to appear perfectly normal so Kadeem doesn’t somehow get suspicious.Taking a deep breath, I straighten my arms at my sides, contemplating if I should do some stretching. However, my shoulders are soon jumping as I hear the door to the training room open.I sense him immediately - my body perfectly aware of his every move despite my back being turned to him. Slowly, I swivel, my eyes locking on Kadeem just as he comes to a stop. He stands at least ten feet away, his arms crossing over his chest.“Hair up, gloves on,” he orders before he nods toward the ring. “Let’s go.”Brows beginning to pull together, Kadee
The Reawakened Mates and their Quintuplets #Chapter 31 In the Alpha’s Hands
ArdalWe hit the water in a heap, the impact of our bodies sending a splash upward. As I go under the surface, Kadeem’s hand leaves my wrist, but that doesn’t mean we’re no longer touching.No, instead our legs tangle and then untangle, our hips brush, our hands bump each other's stomachs. Our limbs inevitably connect as we try to correct ourselves, but - while me touching him is purely accidental - I’m not sure I can say the same thing for Kadeem.After ten seconds of our little dance, my skin is left burning despite the cold water that surrounds us. I finally manage to gain space between us, allowing me to shoot up and break through the surface once more.“You’re an asshole,” I tell Kadeem when he pops up too. I’m panting a little, but I’m still able to give him a firm glare.But Kadeem doesn’t care for my disapproval. Instead, he eats it up as he usually does.“What?” he asks. “You slipped.”My annoyed gaze only hardens on him, my arms tempted to send a big splash toward his face.
The Reawakened Mates and their Quintuplets #Chapter 32 Only For Chelsea
KadeemKadeem’s words lingered in the air, more words seemed to be caught in his throat as he stared at Chelsea’s soaked state. They were still holding onto each other, and she was holding on to his words, waiting for him to continue.Only, Kadeem was met with a very rare feeling - uncertainty. He wasn’t exactly sure how to proceed. He knew that Chelsea could have swam back up to the top without any issues, but the moment he’d seen her go under…he’d just reacted.Even if deep down he knew she wasn’t in danger, he still needed to ensure she was safe.Finally, Kadeem released a breath, finishing his response.“I know,” he stated.Kadeem continued to stare at her, watching as something flashed through her eyes. A soft breath came over her eyes. Now it was his turn to wait for her response, yearning for it. But she disappointed him as he already felt her slide from his grip.“I should go,” she stated blankly. “We’re done for today.”~Kadeem wasn’t even remotely close to done with Chelsea
The Reawakened Mates and their Quintuplets #Chapter 33 Kadeem Receives the News
KadeemThe following morning, Kadeem returned to the set for their last day of shooting. Straight away, he saw the kids dressed and ready to start as they all enjoyed a little snack. He made sure to go over and give them plenty of attention, earning him giggles and smiles from them all.When they were called to set though, each of them gave him a firm hug, causing an upward tug on his lips. He knew people were staring, but he didn’t care.With every passing second, he was becoming more convinced that these were his children. An Alpha’s intuition was hardly ever wrong, and he knew he had to be right about this. One way or another, these babies were his.It was more than just the resemblance now. It was their undeniable draw to one another - even his grandmother had confirmed that there was something special. Kadeem had to take that as a sign pointed in his favor.However, he was also expecting the call from the lab that day. The possibility made him restless as he often checked his ph
The Reawakened Mates and their Quintuplets #Chapter 34 - Pieces Falling Into Place
Kadeem“Kadeem.”It didn’t make sense. Something had to be wrong.Kadeem couldn’t shake the feeling as he sat in the editing room with his team, watching the faces of the babies play over and over. Their little smiles haunted him as he just heard Merrick’s voice over and over.“They share no relation to you.”It didn’t make sense. “Kadeem.”“What?” The Alpha snapped, glaring at the man - Erik - next to him as he practically bared his teeth. In turn, Erik blinked, his shoulders raising as he offered an apologetic look.“I was asking…if you liked this edit?” Erik asked sheepishly.Kadeem huffed in response, surprised not to see steam exciting his nose. He then clipped his gaze forward, watching the few seconds Erik had pieced together. Again, Kadeem was lost in the babies’ faces.“If there’s something wrong with it then -” Erik tried, noticing Kadeem’s empty stare.“It’s fine,” the Alpha threw back, wanting to grind his teeth together. He could see Erik give a quick nod at his side as
The Reawakened Mates and their Quintuplets #Chapter 35 - He Knows
Ardal“Hey, Chelsea,” the front desk attendant, Hunter, says as I pass through the front door of the gym. “You’re in early.”I nod as I swipe my badge. “I’ve got a session with a client this morning,” I tell him with a shrug and smile. “I just wanted to come in and set up.”Hunter smiles back, and it’s admittedly rather charming. He’s got nice teeth, cute dimples in his cheeks. If anything, it’s a smile that should send a girl to her knees, but mine remain strong beneath me.Maybe in another life, I’d play into Hunter’s small advances and offer a flirt of my own. However, I know that messing around with Kadeem’s staff is the last thing I want to get tangled up in. So I offer a harmless wink as I continue forward to the main floor of the gym.“Have a good day!” Hunter calls behind me as I head toward the women’s locker room.Once my belongings are stored away, I head back out and realize just how empty the gym is this morning. Usually, we have a pretty committed morning crowd filling n
The Reawakened Mates and their Quintuplets #Chapter 36 Those babies are mine
KadeemMy breath comes out in short pants. I am trying to control myself, trying to show Ardal that I can be calm, but she lied to me. Lying is the worst type of betrayal, and I hate it. Hate it. Now, it is taking every ounce of strength I have not to shake her shoulders as I yell, “Why did you lie to me?” Instead of shaking them, I rip them tightly.Ardal stands in front of me. She ducks her head down and bites her lip. “I can be a professional fitness trainer and have my babies too! They are sweet and well-behaved,” she yells at me.I loosen my grip on her strong, well-formed shoulders and gently rubbed my hands up and down her arms. I shook my head. My gaze strayed to the tight sports bra stretched across her breasts making them look full and perky-just the way I like.“That’s not what I want,” I whispered moving my face so close to hers our noses are almost touching.I try not to breath in her scent, to not notice her shining brown hair spill
