The Face They Couldn’t Let Go Novel - Chapter 12

12 - Laverage Madeline : The two stood in the doorway with fucking proud smiles on their faces . I just didn't understand why they couldn't follow simple instructions from me . I literally told them I didn't feel comfortable with them interviewing my children . But here they were , once again proving they didn't fucking care about anyone's wishes as long as they wanted something to happen . " Mommy , who are they ? " Bodhi asked , pointing at the two . Graham wore a brown jacket and brown pants , Elgin wore a gray jacket and gray pants with a white shirt .

They shared a look and smirked as they walked in . "We're your mother's best friends , " Elgin said as he knelt down . He squatted to Bodhi's level on the carpet . " Really ? Mommy , you have best friends ? " Bodhi asked , grinning wide . I clenched my fists and took a sharp breath . " And we're here to talk about something really cool with you , about dreams , " Graham added , smiling at my two little daughters . If I could punch them in the face , I would've done it in an instant . But I didn't want violence in front of the kids , so my children's presence saved them .

" Really , what are we going to talk about ? What kind of dreams ? " Elara asked , looking at Elgin . I felt my heart pounding as Elgin walked closer to her and sat down on the couch beside her . It was the scariest thing . They had those blue , sparkling eyes and kept exchanging looks . Fear sank into my veins . What if he recognized her ? What if he felt a connection to her ? My eyes darted to her neck and I noticed she was still wearing the pendant that was supposed to hide her wolf scent , hiding the werewolf link to her father . I exhaled in relief .

" About the dreams you've been having these days , " Graham said , giving me a weird look because I'd been staring at them . I quickly looked away and folded my arms across my chest . " Can I have a moment with you two ? " I finally snapped . I didn't want to pull the kids away right then , otherwise they'd think this behavior was okay , so I let them settle and asked politely . Teaching my kids manners , and things those fucking alphas never taught theirs , was important to me . " Sure , " Elgin said , smirking . I pointed to the kitchen and we walked toward it .

My kids were busy watching TV . A small partition with shiny curtains separated the kitchen and entrance from the living room . Before we left , I pulled those curtains so the kids wouldn't see us . Once the two assholes were in front of me , I pointed my finger at Graham and took a few steps toward him . He started to back up dramatically , raising his hands . When his back hit the wall he chuckled . " Come on , don't be so feisty . Seems like you love showing dominance over me . " His comment hit me wrong .
