Pregnant and Dumped By The Alpha
Chapter 43

"Err, thanks," I said awkwardly, averting my eyes to window.

"Anytime . . . and you're more than amazing Sophia," he whispered, placing a soft gentle kiss on my cheeks. Heat rushed to my cheeks, and I knew I looked as red as a tomato right now.

"Daddy kissed Momma! Daddy kissed Momma!" the twins chanted. Damn, I forgot they were here.

"Okay, that's enough guys. Now, let's go to the beach!" grinned Chase, which showed that small dimple of his on his right cheek.

I cleared my throat, looking away from him. "Let's have some fun!"

I slipped off my heels, holding it in my hands while Chase carried a picnic basket I didn't even know he had. Kaden gripped Charis' small hands to protect her, but she didn't mind at all.

"Why isn't there nobody here?" I frowned, looking around the very empty and peaceful beach.

"This is my private beach, I bought it off the previous owner two years ago because he was moving to France."

"Wow, you're loaded!" I joked, poking his ribs.

"Haha, Miss-I-Have-So-Many-Houses-All-Over-The-World," he rolled his eyes, trying to look annoyed, but the small smile which played on his lips gave it away. "Whatever," I stuck my tongue out at him.

He chuckled, shaking his head at my childishness. It felt good being young again, because sometimes it felt like I was double my age. I guess it was just because sometimes I hardly ever got to have fun and act like my age. I felt so carefree right now: like all the burdens had been lifted off of my shoulders, making my heart feel so light again. I didn't have to carry my sack of problems around with me today, and I would be lying if I said that I didn't need a day off my chaotic everyday life! We found a place to sit under some palm trees, which wasn't that far away from the sea. Chase unpacked all the food and we spent the next hour or so feeding with each other and trying to throw food in each others' mouthes, which was how we all ended up wearing half the food. But it made me laugh like I hadn't in years. "You should laugh more, it's beautiful," Chase said once the twins were playing by the sea. I wanted to sunbathe for a bit before going in, so we were laying in the sun while keeping an eye on them to make sure they were safe. I'd go muy loca without those two troublemakers in my life!

"Thanks," I muttered, slipping on my white ray bans.

During a moment of silence, I debated in my head whether to confront him or not about the twins and I moving back to New York. I was scared of his reaction to be honest, and I didn't want this day to be ruined for all of us.

But sooner or later, I had to confront it. And I was going to do it sooner than later.

"Chase?"

"Yeah?"

"You know about the twins and I moving back to New Yor-"

"You're what?!" he shouted.

"We both knew that I would be moving back Chase," I stated.

"But you can't! These are my children too, you know?"

"I have to; I have my life settled there, I can't stay here."

"Isn't it bad enough that I missed four years of their lives already. I've missed their first words, their sonograms. I've missed the start of their lives, and I'm not going to miss anymore!"

"Well, maybe they can spend their holidays with you," I compromised.

"I'm not going to be a holiday-dad! I refuse to be one. I want to be there for them all the time!"

"I'm not staying here Chase, not after everything!" I shouted, standing up.

"Well, I'm not staying without my children!" he shouted, standing up as well.

"Well, has the thought ever occurred to you, that maybe...maybe if you we were a good mate, then we wouldn't be in this situation?!"

"Can't you let everything go?! It's been years for God's sake Sophia!" he growled. I could see how hard he was trying to fight his wolf from taking over control. His eyes were darker, nearly black, and his face red.

How dare he?! "That doesn't take away the years of pain I've had to go through though does it? I could've refused you time with your children. But I didn't because no matter how much I may resent you for doing all of that to me, I knew my babies needed their Father. Do you have the slightest idea of how much I've had to suffer?! All that suffering can't just be forgotten overnight Chase. Do you know how much it hurt feeling you fuck each and everyone one of those girls? How my heart felt like it was breaking little by little with each and every one of your fuck? Do you know that I nearly lost my children when you marked Nicole?! I'm sorry if you feel otherwise, but all of this pain doesn't just vanish the next day."

I could feel tears standing at the brim of my eyes however I refused to look weak

and let them fall. I wouldn't allow him to walk all over me again like that day.
