Alexia Eden(101)
As we make our way out of the school toward the field, he starts chatting to me. “You are definitely related to Alex, you are a spitting image of her.”
I laugh and look over to him, “Yip, we are related.” I don’t say anymore. I spot Alex by the field sitting with a group of students that look around my age. I walk faster making my way over to her before the stranger starts asking anymore questions.
A couple of guys whistle and I see some girls whispering behind their hands to their friends. Alex looks over to see what they’re all looking at and she spots me.
She gives me a big smile before she rushes up to me and gives me a hug.
“I can’t believe I didn’t even know my own mothers last name! I feel like such a tool!” I say through laughs and soon her laughs join mine.
“I’m so sorry, it never really came up.” She says still laughing at me and I notice the entire class is looking at us with confusion written all over their faces.
“Mother?” I hear one of the girls ask out loud.
Alex stops laughing and clears her throat before she speaks, “Yes class, I would like to introduce you all to my daughter Angel.”
I hear grasps and they seem shocked at the revelation.
“How come no one knew you had a child?” a guy from the bottom stand says with an attitude.
“That’s because I never lived with my mother.” I say as I glare at the guy, I don’t like the way he spoke to Alex.
He nods his head while another boy a few rows up from him says, “Please tell me you’re starting school here!”
The girl next to him nudges him and scowls at him. I laugh, “Nope, sorry.” I hear a few sighs and a couple of the girls let out deep breaths they’ve clearly been holding in.
“No way! You are Talon and Tyler’s girlfriend!” I hear another boy say.
“No… I’m not their girlfriend but I am taken….” I shake my head and turn my attention away from the nosy crowd.
My mother saves me from the current debrief that’s going on with the class and I, “You’re already leaving?”
“Yip, I will only be a few days though, I’m going to miss you.” I smile at her as I wrap my arms around her waist and give her a hug, she returns the hug and rubs my back.
“I’m going to miss you too, when we get back we will have a girls day okay? Just me and you.” Alex says excitedly.
“That’s sounds great! Love you…mom.” I walk away and wave goodbye to all the students. I smile to myself as I walk back to the car, Alex’s grin brightens every time I call her mom.
I take a slow drive because I know Drake has football practice today and he will only be done after five. Ronny finishes school at three so maybe I will get to spend some time with her before Drake comes over.
After arriving at the little trailer I used to share with Georgina. I take my bag out the car and head in. I still have my spare key on me so I open the house expecting to see the mess that was here the last time I was in here.
Instead the house is absolutely spotless. I walk to my room and notice my rooms also clean just the way I left it except on my bed lies a yellow envelope. I place my bag on the chair seated near my door and sit on my bed as I look at the envelope that has “Alexia” written on it, I know whose handwriting it is.
I open the envelope and read ….
Dear Lexi
I wrote this note to you because I knew you would prefer if you never saw me again and I fully understand. My baby girl, words cannot explain how sorry I am for the last few years that you’ve had to put up with me and my issues. I never told you this before but I think after everything that’s happened between us, you need to know about the time I first met you.
I was eighteen the first time I met James, my mate. I met him at a grocery store, he was trying to find formula for you and he wasn’t sure which one was best, of course I instantly knew we were mates. I was afraid because I immediately knew he was half human and I was expecting my mate to be full-blooded but despite that fact I knew I loved him from the moment I met him. I knew the hardships that came with having a human as a mate and I was fully prepared for it all including the fact that I wouldn’t ever be able to have children with him because he was a turned wolf.
He had you bundled up to his chest and you were crying, he asked me to hold you while he packed the cart. You immediately stopped crying when I pulled you from him and the first time I saw your beautiful big eyes I instantly fell in love with you too. James may not have been your biological father but he loved you as he would if you were his daughter. From that day forward I never wanted to let you go, you were our little girl.
