BLAKE'S POV
Sophia has been gone with the twins for more than five hours already. I was starting to get worried.
'Shyla are you still with my mate and pups?' I asked Shyla through the link. I waited for a few minutes and I was still met with silence.
'Zack, my mate and my pups are out there somewhere with Shyla. I cannot get in contact with them and Shyla isn't answering my link. Find them and bring them back safely.' I ordered my Beta.
He quickly responded and said he'll take a few of the pack warriors with him. I grabbed my phone and called Sophia's number. A few seconds later her ringtone rang through the house.
My heart dropped as soon as I heard it ringing in the house. I dropped the call and phoned my mother. She picked up on the third ring.
"Blake, is everything alright?" she asked when she picked up.
"Mom, I don't know. Have you heard anything from Sophia and Shyla today?" I blurted out my voice wavering, because I was scared that something had happened to the four of them.
I really hoped that nothing had happened to them, they were all that I had, all that I was living for. I don't know what I was going to do without them. I would be so lost without them.
"No, honey did something happen between the two of you?" she knew something was up. She knew something happened.
"Mom, we had a few words and she left with Shyla and the twins, she said she'd only be a few hours and it's been five hours already." I explained, knowing that she was going to shit a brick.
There was a few minutes of silence, before she was biting my head off about everything. She brought up the past about how I rejected Sophia, got her pregnant, made her leave, about how I just screwed up things between the both of us. How I screwed it up from the start and how Sophia was just so kind and innocent to let me back into her life and be a part of the twins lives.
My mother was still in the middle of her ranting when my phone beeped with another incoming call. When I told my mother that there was another call waiting for me and that I'll call her back, she told me that she will be on her way to my house, and that is when I knew that she would beat my ass.
I hung up the call and looked at who was calling and it was Zach. I answered so fast. "Zach tell me what you have" I demanded in my alpha tone.
"Alpha, the Luna and Shyla are safe with your pups at the park about ten minutes away from your house." He said quickly.
"Don't let them leave your sight, I'm on my way." I said and hung up.
I ran out of the house and hopped into my truck and sped of to the park. When I arrived at the park my beautiful mate was sat with Shyla and our twins under a big tree. Her eyes were blood red, I think she might've been crying.
I feel so bad, because I know that I am the cause of those tears, the cause of her unhappiness.
I walked over to them and Shyla bowed her head when I was close enough. "Shyla, can you please give us a minute to talk?" I asked in my alpha tone.
She bowed her head again and stood up and walked away. I sat next to Sophia on the ground looking at her. Her gaze was kept on the floor. I moved closer to her and lifted her chin so that she can look at me.
When her eyes fell on mine I could see that her eyes were in fact blood shot and puffy. Guilt settled in, this is really all my fault. She was trying her best to get used to the twins and getting accustomed to Nevaeh having reflux and all.
I wasn't making it any better on her with pressuring her to be ready when she needed time to get adjusted to everything. She has done so much already and I just kept on laying everything on her.
Well done Blake, you idiot. This is the fastest way you are going to lose her again.
"Soph, please come back home. I am so sorry for everything that I've said. I didn't think, I was just so mad about it all. I never realized how bad the pressure that I put on you was. You are an amazing woman, you're an amazing mate and an amazing mother. I couldn't have asked for anyone better that you. You are my world." I said tears welling up in my eyes.
"Please forgive me baby, I never think before I say things. I don't know what I would do if I lost you and the twins. Please never leave me. Please" I pleaded as the tears started streaming down my face. So much for being the strongest Alpha in the world.
Sophia wrapped her arms around my waist and laid her head on my shoulder. I could feel her tears soaking into my shirt. I help her tight and sobbed like a little baby.
"Blake, I don't know what to say. Please stop crying. Please baby, I can't stand to see you like this. I was mad at you for this morning, and everything that you had said. What you said really hurt me. It's going to take a while for me to forget what you said but I already forgive you." She said kissing my cheek.
I held tightly onto her. Not wanting to let go. This woman is my whole life. If she left I don't know how long I'll stay sane.
The twins were asleep in their car seats and Sophia and I were still in each other's embrace. Shyla left about ten minutes ago and Zach also left.
As I sat there with my beautiful mate in my arms I heard her steady breaths. She was fast asleep. I saw some of the pack members close by and I motioned for them to come over.
They quickly came over and bowed their heads in respect for me. I quietly asked them to help me grab the twins and the rest of their things that was laying on the blanket.
I picked up Sophia and walked to the truck with the twins being carried right on our tail. I quickly but carefully placed Sophia in my truck, and then did the same with the twins. I thanked the pack members and was off for our home.
When we were about four minutes away from home Sophia started to wake up. "Hey" she yawned while stretching as much as she could.
"Hi beautiful" I said smiling at her. I really almost lost her today, and I can't have that. Not at all.
We drove the rest of the way in silence. I think we're still trying to process the whole day. I am just glad that she isn't gone, I thought that something happened to her.
When we pulled into our driveway my mother was standing there with a furious look on her face. Oh shit, I am literally never going to hear the end of this.
Sophia smiled" Aw, your mom's here. Did she mention to you that she was going to come and visit today?" she asked excitedly.
"Babe, this isn't quite the usual visit. She did mention that she was coming over, but not for a visit. She is here to shit me out, for the way that I treated you." I explained.
I stopped the truck and Sophia jumped out and ran to my mother hugging her very tightly. I could faintly hear her sobbing. She isn't helping me, but I understand that my mother and Shyla was the only ones there for her through everything.
I grabbed the two car seats and quickly headed into the house.
Let's get this out of the way already. My mother walked into the house with Sophia right behind her.
"Blake Collins! What the hell happened between you? Where did those cruel words come from that you used on Sophia this morning? I did not raise you to be this asshole!" My mother yelled as soon as she saw me in the living room.
Sophia looked uncomfortable, she walked over to the twins and started taking them out of their car seats and placed them into their bassinets, before she disappeared into the kitchen.
"Mom, I was mad, I didn't mean any of that. I apologized. I regret saying those things mother. I regret making her feel like that. I don't want to make her cry again. I don't want to lose her. What goes on between Sophia and me has nothing to do with anyone outside of this house. How do you even know what happened mother?" I asked getting a little bit angry standing up ready to walk out to my study.
"Boy you better sit your fucking ass down now or I'll beat you up." My mother threatened me with a dead serious tone. This woman right here scared the crap out of me. It's like she wasn't my mother anymore, even though she was. She just scared the living daylights out of me when she became like this. It also takes a lot to get her like this.
I sat down and Sophia returned to the living room with two bottles in her hands. She sat the one bottle down on the coffee table and grabbed Nevaeh. She sat them both down and started feeding Nevaeh. I gave her a look asking if she was ok and she just nodded. My mother was quiet.
"Katherine, I really didn't mean for it to go this far. I asked Shyla to link you to tell you what was going on just so that Blake and I could have some space without any interruptions. I really appreciate everything, please I don't want your relationship with Blake to get screwed up because of me." Soph said in a soft voice looking as if she was going to burst into tears.
My poor mate, she went through so much already and yet she still wants to make sure that my relationship with my mother doesn't falter. She is a pure angel sent from above.
"No, Soph, this is nothing like that. I know that I didn't raise my son to be an asshole and a dickhead and yet he has treated you like he is one. I won't stand for that." my mother explained to Sophia.
"Mom, like I said I made a mistake. I regret ever saying those things to Soph, I wish I could turn back time and never say those things and just see from the beginning what you were going through." I started explaining to my mom, but somehow my gaze and the conversation turned to Soph, hoping she could see how sorry I was.
She looked deep into my eyes, tears welling up in her eyes. She stood up handed Nevaeh to my mother and quickly gestured for me to follow her to the kitchen.
I jumped up and followed her as fast as I could. We stopped in the kitchen, she stood near the island and I decided to just stand in front of her, but with a bit of distance between us. I want to give her the space she needs.
"Blake, like I said, I forgive you. I just won't be able to forget it so easily." She started." I just didn't want your mom to go off on you like she just did. This is all a misunderstanding. Please can we just go back to how things were before all this scandal happened this morning? Please, I just want a normal day for once." She pleaded me looking into my eyes. Gosh I love her so much, she doesn't even know.
"Ok Soph. I really am sorry for all that I have said. I will control my temper and learn to have patience with you my baby. I never meant to tell you that you will have to do all of this alone during the day with the twins. I guess my work has just been piling up and when you mentioned my mother and Shyla coming to help you during the week, my brain went to you having them both here all day long. That means the pack work will also pile up. I never meant to say that you can't have them here. They are more than welcome to come over and help you when you need it, and when you need some company. I think it'll get lonely sometimes during the day when..." I was still talking when I was cut off when her lips landed on mine.
I moaned into the kiss, I picked her up and she immediately wrapped her legs around my waist. I held her tightly while kissing her passionately.
She pulled back from the kiss and looked down at me, "You talk way too much when you are nervous sir" she giggled and pecked my lips again.
I laughed and put her back down on the ground. We walked hand in hand back to the living room. My mother still sat there feeding Nevaeh. I grabbed Nova's bottle and started feeding him.
The rest of the day we spent together. My mother left an hour after Sophia and I left the kitchen. Sophia and I literally spent the whole day attached at the hip. We helped each other with everything. Today was a challenge, but we made it through.
