Wonderful. Congratulations are in order!” she beamed.
“Indeed. Thank you, Melody,” | said with a growing smile.
Does CC know?”
“Yes, she’s ecstatic,” | answered.
The twins bid goodbyes to their friends and rushed to me.
Hey!” Solara called to me.
Good evening, Ms Melody,” they greeted politely, and my cousin hugged him. Her actions confused them. It was Cayden to pulled away first.
“| don’t like hugging,” he said with a frown, and Melody chuckled.
I'm sorry. | was just excited,”
They lifted their heads to me,

Do you teach here D -” Solara started but quickly bit her tongue. My chest tightened. She wanted to call me dad but didn’t because of what happened last time at the Aquarium. Should | tell them it’s alright? | glanced at Melody.
11
Oh Lara, you can call him Daddy if you want. He is your father,” Melody told her.

But he didn’t like it a lot last time,” she said quietly, her lips frowning. | crouched down and caressed her face.
“| was disoriented from the drugs they gave us on Mars, so you can imagine my memory wasn’t quite good because of that,” | glanced at both of them, and they nodded
11
Are you okay now?” It was Cayden who asked, and | smiled, nodding my head
11
Perfect. I’m so good especially now, that I’m here with you,”
Solara grinned, while Cayden was stoic, deep in thought. He exhaled.
It's good then because Lara was worried you forgot about us,” he
said.
“| will never forget you again,” | assured them.
Are you going to Mars again?” Cayden asked. He was worried | could tell by his voice.
11
No, I’m back for good,” | answered, and they threw their bodies towards me in a hug. | held them dearly, and we stayed in an embrace for a long time before they pulled away. Melody and Seumo were on the verge of tears. They were so dramatic. Maybe not, because | was feeling so many emotions.
| cast my gaze on my daughter's beautiful sparkling pink shoes that matched her cast. It seemed to cause a tiff between them in the morning. | listened to their conversation with their mother.’You look rather pretty in your shoes,” | complimented Solara. Her face beamed up and stuck her tongue out to her brother.
“See, | look pretty in my pink shoes,”
She raised her head to me and smiled, ” Thank you, Daddy!”
She said. My breath shuddered, | was gone to a place of abyss bliss when she said, Daddy. My inner Lycan howled in happiness. | couldn’t even fathom the feeling that coursed through me. | was their Dad, and she called me that. However, our time was short-lived when two tall men in suits approached us.

Master Cayden, Miss Solara. We were looking for you,” The thinner
man with a mustache said in an accent.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
The twins seemed to know the two men well.
11
Hello, I’m the twin’s father,” | said proudly. The man didn’t seem too
shocked and extended his hand to shake mine.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Carter. I’m the family chauffeur, and this man
here is the bodyguard,” he said and pointed to his muscular colleague. | nodded,
I'm afraid we have to go, Children, say bye to your father,”
“| can drive them home,” | suggested, smiling down at the twins.
“Yes!” They cheered.
No.” The bodyguard answered curtly. He cleared his throat
. [raised my eyebrow, and he continued, “We haven't received such an order from Miss Chasia or Mr. Luis,” he said.
But we want to go with our daddy,” Solara purred, looking up at the bodyguard with pleading eyes.

No, Miss Lara. Your mother won't like that very much, and besides, you need a booster seat for safety,” The chauffeur answered. He was right. | needed a booster seat. Kids need those. My princ frowned, and | stroked her golden hair.
‘It's alright. I'll take you home next time,” | told her.
Promise?” she asked, giving me her little pinky. | smiled and did what felt right. Interlocking it with mine.
“| promise,” she kissed our interlocked fingers, and | melted with Love. She frowned though. Did | do something wrong? | was getting
worried.

Kiss it to seal the promise,” Cayden groaned. The way he said it
made me feel dense, as though, It was basic knowledge | didn’t know. | kissed it, and Lara smiled.
“Alright, bye-bye, Daddy,” she did it again. Just like that, my heart
dissolved like ice on fire at the five-lettered words. Cayden just turned without a word and followed after his sister.
He doesn’t like me very much,” | murmured.
“You'll win him over soon, Sir. Boys are different from girls, especially with how they show emotion,” Seumo said.

But, hey, they hugged you, and Lara called you Dad. It’s a win,”
Melody smiled at me, leaning her head on my arm as we watched the kids enter the car.
“Yes. I’m a Dad,”
