Chapter 8

Adrian's POV

I jump up straight in the bed, gasping for air as I clutch my chest. Another nightmare. I wipe away that sweat that formed and try to calm my heart rate down. It may have been a nightmare but that was my reality. That man was no father of mine. He was just a sperm doner in my opinion. After that night it only got worse. If I did something wrong in the smallest possible way? I was beaten. Talked the wrong way? Beaten. Acted the wrong way? Beaten. Nothing I ever did for that man was good enough.

Though what type of role model did I have? If I had learnt anything from that man it was how to punch and how to drink. I guess I picked up on both of them.

I clutch my head as I feel a sharp pain. Stupid hangover. What happened last night?

"Morning." I hear a soft voice mutter from next to me. I turn to face the voice and curse when I see some woman laying in my bed. That makes two this week. I try to think of her name before I completely give up. I stand up and begin to grab my clothes, trying to be quick.

"Where you going Baby?" I hear her ask me and I stop pulling my pants.

"Listen...uh.."

"It's Angela." She says in shock as she covers her chest with the sheets. I grimace as I notice the colour. Pink.

"Angela. You were great last night but now I got to go. Bye" I say and ignore her next words. Walking out of the apartment building I curse as I notice that I left my car at the club. Okay let's think what happened. After I stormed off after talking to Callie, I went to a pub. Then went home. Next day went out again, got drunk, had a one night stand, now I'm here. Okay, all caught up.

I pull my phone out of my pocket and dial Theos number. It rings for a few times before I hear a small grunt through it. I ignore it and speak into the phone.

"Hey Theo. Listen I went out last night, got drunk, went home with someone but I left my car at the club. Can you please come pick me up?" I ask him as I pace up and down the sidewalk. I hear another grunt, which makes me know what he means. One grunt for yes, two for no.

"Great. Thanks." I say before hanging up. I send him my address before I sit down on a bench. I lay my head back as my headache begins to increase. I clutch my head tightly but still try to ignore it.

I close my eyes and lean back against the chair, enjoying the little silence around me. I soon hear a horn, making my eyes snap open. I look over and see Theo sitting in the car but I also notice Callie's kids. I stand up and walk over to them, climbing into the car. I slam the door closed.

"Thanks man." I say to him before looking at the kids through the mirror. Something about them just seems familiar. I can't put my finger on it. I do notice that they take more after Callie. I hear my wolf whimper at thought of her name. I'm actually shocked since he hasn't made a sound since I rejected her. I always tried talking to him but he hated me.

"So why the kids here?" I ask Theo as we drive back to the pack house. He looks at me before looking at the kids who are half a sleep.

"Callie asked me to watch them while her and Izzy go to Izzy's last dress fitting." He says through the mindlink, keeping his eyes on the road. I nod my head and the conversation ends there. It's odd though, ever since Callie came back, my wolf has been agitated a lot. Whenever he saw the kids he wants me to go to them. Protect them.

I donno, it might be because I've never had kids and since Callie has two now, he just feels protective of them. It's confusing but thats all I could think of.

But I admit I like them.

No kid in our pack would ever have the balls to yell at me. And then those two came along and called me Grandpa. But I am far from it. With the rate I'm going, I'll never be a Grandpa. But I still stand by my decision. I wanted to choose who I would love and I did. It may not have ended well, but I still believe that there's someone out there for me who isn't Callie.

Nothings wrong with her, that much is true. It's that I don't want to turn into my 'Father'. I wouldn't even wish that upon my worst enemy. Even though I wish I could kill that specific person.

I shake my head and try to ignore that thought and just watch the scenery pass us by. We soon pull up to the pack house and just as I'm about to get out the car I hear a soft snore. I look back and see both boys sleeping. Looking at Theo, I see him trying to grab some groceries.

"I'll get the boys, you take those to the kitchen." I say, bumping him out the way so I can reach in to unbuckle them. From the corner of my eye, I notice a smile on Theo's face. I roll my eyes and unbuckle them both before lifting one up. I hold him close and his tiny arms immediately wrap around my neck. I stop and just stand there. It's an odd feeling with these kids.

I shake it off before picking up the other kid. Once I have the both of them safely in my arms I take them up to their room. It doesn't take long and soon I'm laying them in they're beds.

"Thank you Daddy." I hear one of them mutter as I fix a blanket over the other. I stop and look over to the other kid and look at him in confusion.

"Kid I'm not your Dad." I say to him seriously. He smiles before laying down again.

"Mommy told us you were." He says and falls asleep. My eyes widen as I look down at him, then to his brother, then to him again. I stumble standing up and rush out the room. I suddenly don't have the ability to breathe anymore.

I'm a Father? I have kids of my own?

That explains all of the weird feelings I have around them. I can't be a Father! What if I'm not good enough? What if I turn into my Father? What if I lay a hand on them? I don't know the first thing about Fatherhood!

I run out the pack house and immediately shift, running into the woods. I growl and snarl as my anger and worry rises with each passing minute.

Why did she never tell me!

They are my kids, why did she never tell me!

"Maybe cause you rejected her!" I hear my wolf yell at me, causing my anger to get worse.

"That no excuse! They are my kids! Mine-" I suddenly stop as I smell her. I growl and run back, needing to confront her. Time had passed by. As I emerge from the forrest I see the boys awake and playing with they're toys on the grass. I shift back and pull on some of the spare clothes we keep around here. I stomp my way to where I smell her.

I stop when I see her standing on the porch, looking over at them. I glare and walk over to her. I grab her by the arm, and pin her to the wall. Ignoring the sparks that are running over my body.

"What the hell Adrian-"

"Why didn't you tell me I had children!"
