Chapter 6
"Daddy I love you, you can't leave me!" I cried into my dad's arms.
"I donât want to baby, but I have to. When you get a mate you will see how much you love them. I love you so much, but your mother is not my mate." My dad said.
"Will you visit me?" I asked with much hope as any 5 year old could have..
"I will." He said with tears in his eyes. He said them like he wished he could but something was stopping him.
"Daddy say it. I want to hear you say it."
"I will come and visit you as soon as I can." He promise me. Still with tears in his eyes, though he was too strong to let them fall.
"Wake up baby, we are nearly there." I heard a deep sexy voice say. "Wake up babe." He said again. I opened my eyes to look into some light green eyes that I knew belonged to Cole. I blinked to clear my vision. We were still in the car on the way to see my father. After I had that last memory of him, I did not know what to say to him anymore. I lost all my confidence. I just wanted to see him again and to find out why he left me. And the 5 year old wanted to know why he broke his promise. Alec was his name. I tried never to forget it. When I was five I always wanted to remember thinking he would come back.
"We're nearly at the castle. We will be meeting your father there." Cole brought me out of my thoughts. It was a long drive. It was from London to lake district. The English royal family picked that location because it is surrounded by nature and beauty. It has more land to run around. It was one that stood out from the rest of England.
"Okay, Wow, this is beautiful." I said. Lake district was a British werewolf  perfect place. Britain did not have miles of  dense areas with forest and trees.  Being here was so amazing, we could run for miles enjoying the pure bliss of  freedom. Most of us came here for camping to do so. This beauty could not compare to London in any way. I have never been down here. Mum never took me. Actually, dad took me when I was three, one of the best memories with him. He always went without me and my mother, I never knew why, but mum was okay with it. Those were the times I missed him. Before he left completely. Cole who was in the back with me seemed to realise something was not right about me and put a hand on mine, rubbing circles around the back of the. It made me feel much better. I wanted to touch Chris but he was driving and I donât think it would be smart for me to distract him.
"We are here." Chris said and I beheld the beautiful sight before me. It was magnificent. We were driving up to the castle. It grew and we came closer. This was the main castle so it was big. It looked beautiful. It looked like a classic castle, but with a modernised twist to it. It was lovely.
We parked the car in the parking lot and walked hand in hand in hand to the door. I was in the middle of course. It felt as if I was the centre of their lives. My wolf rejoiced in the though. I was smiling at her happiness. Even in a time like this my wolf would do her best to cheer me up. My mates helped.
I brought Cole's lips to mine, enjoying the sparks that were set ablaze, and then kissed Chris, who ignited something inside me. I wanted to carry on with the kisses so much that I nearly forgot what we were here to do. I broke away from Chris blushing. "Thank you so much. Please donât let go of me hands in there. I need you both." I said, "Your touch." I whispered.
"Wouldnât dream of it babe." Cole said. I loved it when they called me babe. It felt right, not like those jerks at school who always hit on me, calling me 'babe' as if it's going to make me fall to my knees in front on them.
We rang the doorbell and waited for someone to answer. The door was opened by someone in a maid outfit. She had a kind and lovely face. I could tell she was a ware. "Cole and Chris Prince. Welcome, I will let Alec and the king know you are here. I'm supposed to bring you to the study when you arrive. This way." She led the way. The palace was beautiful and I've never seen such marvellous place. This was like a dream house. I hope my new home in Lock Hart will be as beautiful as this.
We reached the study after a while of walking. They were still holding my hands gently in theirs. My heart was beating, I wanted to see the man that had left me. I wanted to know why he left me with that woman, and why he never came back. The maid knocked on the double doors. They were opened and I walked in.
In front of me was the man who I've always wanted to see, with someone who looked like him. it was his father. My grandfather. He had a happy glint In his eyes, but his face was expressionless. My father was right in front of me and I didnât know what to say. The both squeezed my hands in reassurance.
"George, its nice to see you again." Cole said.
"welcome to England." George, my grandfather said. "Hope you are having a good time."
"Yes, we have found what we were looking for." Chris said. My eyes was still on my father, he was looking into mine. He was a handsome man and had not change much.
"Dad, you never came back." I said to him.
"I wanted to honey but you mother didnât want me to find you. I tried searching for you but came up with nothing." He said with a look of anguish in his eyes. My mom always moved away and now I knew why. It sounded like the truth, but he could have tried harder. Although the look in his eyes tore through me.
"But you promised. You should have tried harder." I told him. It was the 5 year old in me speaking.
"I did, and there were some nights I could not sleep, thinking about you. My mate even couldnât help." He told me. His mate. That hurt, i looked straight in his eyes hoping he could see the pain i felt.
"What was my mom to you?" I asked him. If she wasnât his mate why did he even look at her.
"She was my first love, but then I found my mate. The only reason I stayed with your mom was because of you. I have two sons. Your brothers. They are twins just like your mates. They are a few months older than you. I found out your mom was pregnant after I left her and my mate was already pregnant with the boys. I could not leave your mother or you, but I had to." He told me. He preferred his sons over me. He left me but not them? He saw the hurt expression on my face.
"Honey I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you." He came and gave me a hug. It felt good to be in my father's arms again. I wanted to forgive him. I'm not one to hold a grudge.
"Dad these are my mates. Cole and Chris prince." I told my dad, after our embrace. "They took me in yesterday because mom didnât want me anymore. They brought me here. They make everything better." I told my dad. I saw him wince when I told him my own mother didnât want me anymore.
"Take care of my daughter boys." My father said.
"Always." They replied in sync.
"Do I have a grandma?" I asked my dad, I saw grandpa but I have not seen grandma in here.
"She is resting at the moment, you will have time to see her tomorrow." Grandpa said.
"Do you want to meet your step-mother?" My father asked. I did not know if I was ready for that, but gave a small nod. His face brightened. He looked like he was having a conversation in his head. I guess he was talking to her. Then soon she came in the double doors. She looked beautiful, she was pregnant. I could not help but wish she was my mother when she came to me and hugged me. It felt good, and I knew I already loved her.
"Hello, I'm Ann. It's nice to meet you. I've waited years." She said. I smiled at her happiness. The fact that she did not hate me when I was not hers, but her mate's child made me like her.
"Im, Nica." I told her. A smile brightened her face, because she knew I did not hate her for taking my daddy away.
"Donât I know it. The boys want to meet you so much." She said.
"can I meet them?" I asked. I always wanted older brothers to take care of me and protect me from boys and heart break. I guess I'm away from that now I've found my mates, but I would love to meet them and have them.
"they are on their way, they are just coming from doing their studies." My dad said.
"How are you holding up?" Chris asked looking concerned.
"I'm fine, just a bit tired. We can retire as soon as I see my brothers." I told them.
"Whatever you want babe." Cole said. I smiled.
"We can extend our going back to America if you want. I know you must want to know your father and brothers. you will be able to visit them again if you wish." Chris said with a smile. I wanted that so much.
"Thank you." I told them. I loved them as my mates so much. It feels so good how they know me so much, they knew what I wanted. My father chuckled at my face lighting up.
"You guys can stay here as long as you want. Promise me you will stay here when I turn 40. I wil be getting the crown, and I need you there." He said.
"I donât understand, why 40?" I asked.
"that's the traditional for English royalty. They have to turn 40 before the crown is handed down to them." Cole said.
"What about you guys?" I asked my mates.
"We come in power once we are 18, but we have to find our mates. They help us keep sane."Chris said with a smile as I laughed at having to keep them sane.
With that the doors opened to two boys. They were my brothers. They had smiles on their faces. When they saw me it seemed to have brightened. I did not know that was possible. They were handsome and took after their father.
"Hello Nica" they said together. "I am Alexander and this is Andrew." Alex introduced.
"But you can call me Andy, him Alex." He said pointing to his brother. With a kind smile. I could tell they gave girls a hard time.
"Nice to meet you." I said to them both. Hopefully I would get to see them tomorrow. I was too tired now to be here. Plus everyone was watching our little exchange. My dad had a smile on his face so bright. My mates read my facial expressions and told them they thought it was time to go to bed. I didnât argue, and I hugged my father, goodnight and waved to everyone else.
The maid came for us and brought us into our room. Before we left I heard my father say "I'm so happy she was not mad at me."Â I smiled mates. When we went into the luxurious room that belonged to us I couldnât hold myself up anymore. I was too exhausted.
"Thank you." I said.
"Anything for you" they said together with a bright smile
