This attraction will be the end of me

This attraction will be the end of me

Chapter 11

After I picked up the twins we all went to Godfathers Diner. It was a very old diner that had been around since my grandparents were young. And it had been my favorite place since I was a child.

"Hello darlings what can I get ya'll?" The waitress grinned pulling out her notepad from her pink and white stripped apron.

"Can I have a double cheeseburger with fries?" Joey asked looking at me. I sighed and rolled my eyes but nodded. "Thank you mommy!" I laughed and nodded to Zoey.

"I'll have a .... mommy I don't know." She pouted closing her menu. I hummed and glanced down at my own menu. "How about we share a pepperoni pizza?" I asked smiling at the waiting waitress. "Yes!" She cheered.

"My mommy and I will have a large peppi pizza." She told the waitress handing her all three of our menus.

"Coming right up sweetie." The waitress chuckled putting away her notepad and taking the menus.

"You have some lovely children." She sighed before skating away. I smiled and turned to face my kids. Joey was helping Zoey with her crosswords. I did have some fantastic children.

"Mommy will we see Prince today?" Zoe asked while crossing out the word 'Pencil' ."Zoey stop asking that!" Joey hissed before staring at me. I sighed and wiped my hands on my pants. "Actually... he might pick you up tonight, only if you want to!" I added quickly.

"I do!" She squealed clapping her small hands. "No you don't Zoey."Joey growled snapping his crayon in half.

"Joey!" I hissed giving him an exasperated look. He had been lashing out so much. "What? She shouldn't go with Caleb." He spat. "He hurt you mommy! You cried! You never cry!" He yelled catching most of the diners attention.

I blushed and shushed him. I didn't need the whole town to know about my dilemma. The pack already knew I was rejected by Caleb when I was sixteen. I didn't need the rest of the town to know.

"I'm sorry mommy." Joey frowned glaring at his lap. "It's not me you need to apologize mister." I replied sternly.

"I'm sorry Zoey. I didn't mean to be mean, I'm just... if you want to you can." Joey smiled pulling her into a big hug, which she immediately responded.

"Alright. I got y'alls food. One double cheeseburger with fries for the handsome mister." She winked setting the large plate down. I stared in shock as he immediately started stuffing his face with food. His appetite was growing... I would have to talk to Jackson soon.

"And a large Pepperoni for the ladies." She grinned setting the pizza on a little stool thing. "Thank you." We all smiled as she walked away.

I let out a strangled groan as I jumped out the car. I was so tired! "Prince!" I froze and quicky turned to see Zoey jumping out the car and dashing into Caleb's awaiting arms.

"Hey princess." He sighed closing his eyes as he held her tight. "Mommy come on." I glanced down to see Joey giving me a sad look. He was worried I would break down again. He should've never seen that.

"Hey there champ." Caleb grinned stepping forward to Joey. "Hi." He mumbled moving to stand protectivly in front of me. I sighed and shook my head at Caleb. He growled lightly and turned to an anxious Zoey.

"I heard you had ballet today?" He asked raising a perfect brow at her. "Yes!" She smiled. "Well I have a present for you, but it's at my house." He pouted making Zoey pout as well. "Mommy can we go inside." Joey whispered pulling on my arm.

I nodded and went around the two to unlock my front door and let him in. "I'll be right in okay baby." He glanced at Caleb before slowly nodding. "So is it okay if I take her? I'll bring her home at eight." He assured me. I tugged on my bottom lip before nodding.

Him standing only a few feet away from me, with no physical contact was torture. Our mate bond was getting stronger now. But I had to fight it, even if it felt like my bodg was engulfed in burning desire everytime I caught his smell. He was going to be a married man soon.

"Thank you mommy!" Zoey squealed before running ahead inside to quickly shower, since she was sweaty from practice. "Come in." I mumbled holding the door wider for him.

He nodded and stood tense by the counter. "You can have a seat Alpha." I chuckled nervously twirling a piece of my hair nervously. "Don't call me that. You're my mate." He huffed staring straight ahead.

"I'm not." I laughed shaking my head as I put the keys on the key holder and shrugged off my jacket. "Sarah has always been your girl." I added walking past him to the fridge and pulling out a smart water.

"Why are you so difficult." He groaned running his hand through his long hair. "How am I being difficult." I scoffed leaning back on the counter opposite to him. The very same counter he kissed me like I was the only girl for him. "You don't let me explain." He cried out.

"There's nothing to explain. You had a girlfriend when you showed up and asked us to be a 'family', then took me to the woods where you fucked me" I whispered making sure the twins wouldn't hear us. "Then your fiancee showed up! Your FIANCEE!" I slightly shouted before composting myself.

"We made love Ariana." He replied staring straight into my emerald eyes. "I made love to you. You screwed me over, more than once." I whispered knowing he would understand what I ment. The time he mated me then rejected me. The nights I stayed up, bawling my eyes out because of the pain in my chest. The feeling of someone lighting a fire inside my chest, like I couldn't breathe. Every single time he slept with Sarah. And for making me believe we might've made things work before rejecting me once more in public.

Lastly.... for making me fall for his charm once more.

"Ari-I'm ready!" Zoey interrupted stumbling on her feet as she ran into the kitchen. "Great. Lets go Princess." Caleb smiled clearing his throat. "Have fun baby. And no candy okay." I sniffed fixing her jacket and keeping my eyes casted down to make sure she didn't see the tears pooling in my eyes. "I promise mommy! I love you."she smiled softly kissing my cheek as she walked over to Caleb.

"Bye baby... Bye Alpha." I slightly bowed. From now on, Caleb will be my Alpha. Nothing more. Other than the twins father of course. But soon he'll have his own children he'll see grow from a fetus. He'll forget about all of us.

"Bye Ari." He replied shaking his head as he grabbed Zoe's hand and led her out the door.

As soon as he shut the door I breathed in deeply controlling the urge to run after him and beg him to take me back. To not forgot about us. But I had to be strong. I held onto my chest as the familiar pain hit me.

"Mommy are you okay?" I jumped startled to face Joey who was sadly gazing up at me. "I'm fine baby." I assured him standing up straight and pushing the pain away. "Come on let's get the living room ready. Jacob's coming over." He grinned up at me before rushing into his room to pull out blankets.

I laughed and started to push the couches until there was enough room for Joey, Jacob and me.

"Done!" Joey cheered as he laid the last Cars blanket on the floor. "No we're not." I gasped. "What we miss mommy?" He gasped looking around the room. "We have one stinky little boy and one over dressed mommy!" We both gave each other horrified looks before bursting out in a fit of giggles.

"Lets go shower and change into comfy clothes." I suggested. He quickly nodded kissing my cheek before running off to his room grabbing his cars pjs and shutting the bathroom door.

~¤~

After we finished showering we put in some brownies in the oven while we were waiting for Jake.

"Honeeey I'm home!" Jake sang as he bursted through the front door. "Jake!" Joey yelled dropping his spoon with chocolate to run into Jacob's arms.

"Hey there Jo." Jake laughed hugging him back. "Hey Ari." He said putting Joey down and coming to kiss my forehead. "Hey." I smiled wrapping my arms around myself.

"Guess who brought ... Cars the movie!" He yelled pulling out a stack of movies. "Cars! Mommy he brought Cars!" He cried out jumping up and down.

"Why dont you go put it on baby." I laughed handing him the case. As soon as he got ahold of it he ran off to the living room.

"Popcorn?" I asked walking ahead to the kitchen. "Of course." He chuckled jumping on top of the counter. "With Limon and Chamoy." We both yelled out laughing. "I also brought some sour patch kids for joe and Zoey. Where is she by the way?" He frowned taking out the candy from his jacket.

"She's with Caleb." I mumbled closing the microwave. "What the hell is she doing with him!" He hissed jumping off the counter with a big thud. "He's her dad." I gupled staring at the neon green numbers.

"Aria-please not tonight." I whispered shutting my eyes. I heard him sigh before he wrapped his arms around me.

"Will I ever be able to fight the mate bond?" I mumbled into his chest. "Ill help you." He assured me hugging me tighter.

"Mommy! Jake! Come on!" Joey yelled from the livingroom. We laughed and pulled away.

"You go start the movie. Ilk fix the popcorn." I smiled as the microwave beeped. He nodded and softly pressed his lips to my forehead and ran to start the movie.

I shook my head and pulled out a bowl for the popcorn. After I fixed the popcorn I sat next to Joey with Jacob by my side. "Thank you for coming." I whispered as I laid my head against his chest.

"I missed you." He mumbled laying his head on top of my head. I smiled in content and glanced at a knocked out Joey before falling asleep myself.

'10:00pm' was brightly lit as I stumbled over a sleeping Jake, to the door which had someone obnoxiously knocking on it. I rubbed mt eyes as I flipped the light on for the front porch and glanced through the peephole to see Caleb holding a sleeping Zoey.

"Hey." I smiled opening the door. My heart thumping at the sight of him. He was practically oozing with happiness which made me feel ... satisfied. "Hey, can I put her down?" He chuckled. I blushed realizing I had been staring at him like a stalker.

"Right. Yeah. Come in." I blushed fixing my top which was awkwardly twisted. He nodded and walked in only to pause halfway to the hall. I frowned and looked around him. I froze as I saw him take in Joey cuddled up to Jake.

"He-he came for m-movie night." I stuttered ushering him into Zoe''s room. He gently laid her down before roughly grabbing ahold of my wrist making me wince in pain.

"Which is your room." He growled staring at the four other doors. I slowly pointed to the last door in the hall as he roughly yanked me to my room.

As soon as we walked inside he pushed me in and shut the door. My chin quivered as I rubbed my wrist. It was already turning a hideous purple, which I hope would be gone before the twins or Jake noticed. "Why-why the hell is that ... that - why is he holding MY son like he's his!" He shouted in a whisper.

I cringed and backed away from him as he stepped closer. "He missed Jake." I whispered too scared I would burst out in tears as betrayal and anger flashed in his cold blue eyes.

"It's your fault. You ordered him to stay away. You never thought how it would affect the kids." I growled remembering how he ordered Jake to stay away from me.

He had no right to have a say who I spent my time with. He was engaged, and not to me. As heartbreaking as that was.

"He shouldn't be spending time with MY family! You guys are mine!" He growled stepping closer. I let out a low threatening growl warning him to stay away, which he responded with one of his own that made me shiver in delight.

This mate attraction will be the end of me.

"Don't forget I'm your alpha." His wolves voice said threateningly. "YOU don't forget I'm your equal. I'm your mate." My wolf responded protecting me from the fury of her mate.

"Submit Rosette." He growled calling my wolf by her name-my middle name. "You know I won't do that Antoni. I won't submit to someone who has hurt us repeatedly. You don't deserve us." She hissed stepping forward making him wince.

"We never ment to." He sighed his dark blue eyes slowly going back to his ice blue eyes. Meaning Caleb was coming through-just as I was.

"Before you go - if you ever lay a hand on us again. We will tear you to pieces." She said nonchalantly but the threat was as clear as day.

As much as it hurt her to threaten the love of her-our- life. We had two lives that we needed to be strong for. And she would never let someone push her around. Not after everything we went through.

"I did that." I snapped back into reality as I felt him grab my arm and trace the now yellowing finger prints. I gasped as I felt the familiar shocks run up my arm that he held.

"I think you should go." I said pulling my arm away from me. He frowned and stepped forward as I backed away. Now that my wolf was drowning in sadness I had to admit I was a bit afraid of him.

When Caleb was mad- he was a blood thirsty animal. He nodded and turned opening the door. As we walked to the front door he paused and pulled me into a suprise embrace. "Please don't be afraid of me love." And with that he was gone.

I slowly shut the door and bit my bottom lip drawing blood. "Ariana." I smiled at a sleepy Jake and tole him to go back to sleep. Which he immediately did. After that I checked on Zoey. Her hair was up in a pretty bun and she had a new set of Ariel pj's. I gently laid a kiss on her forehead before turning on her night light and shutting her lights off.

After that I laid down next to Joey and shut my eyes. The only thing on my mind was... was I afraid of Caleb?

No.
