SWNOVELS Chapter Alpha 33
Chapter 33
I was completely taken aback by Aria's question.
"Handsome Uncle?" I inquired with a look of deep bewilderment.
She responded, "Yeah, that uncle we met at the airport."
I was able to make out a bright smile and a look of excitement on Aria's face. Within me, I could feel a throbbing pain in my chest.
She was talking about her father!
I took a deep breath and replied,
"Aria, don't talk about that man again, okay?"
"Why, Mom?"
"My baby, he is a stranger. I told you that day, right? By the way, Mommy is going to pay a visit to another person who is in critical health."
She lowered her head and pursed her lips in a deep sigh. After a while, she showed that she was a good child by nodding her head.
I was fixated on her. Why did she keep bringing up Adrian in everyday conversation? Why could she not forget just one meeting?
Was it because he was her father?
I noticed Aria started drawing again. I ran my hand over her hair and asked,
"What are you drawing?"
When she turned to face me, she displayed her drawing to me.
Although I reached out my hand to take hold of the paper, my hand began to shake as a result of what she had drawn.
The sketch was a rough representation of a man and a woman, with the two other children. holding hands with them.
My attention was drawn to the title of the painting that she had written.
"Mom, Dad, me, and my brother. My family," I mumbled while reading it.
"The teacher told everyone to draw this," Aria said.
I looked at her innocent face. I placed the paper on the bed and hugged my daughter.
Tears scrambled in my eyes, but I refrained from letting them down on my face.

How could I give my children their father? Every time they asked about him, I always ignored the question.
However, watching the painting gave me a feeling of sorrow. The thought of how much they missed a man they could call their father pierced my heart.
But I could not tell them who their father was. I was afraid that if Adrian got to know about the truth, he would snatch them away from me. I could not even think of living my life without
them.
"Mom,"
I heard Noah's voice from behind.
I broke the hug and moved away from Aria. I turned my head and found my son at the door.
"Baby, come to your mom."
Noah hurried over to me. I hugged him and asked,
"Where were you?"
"I was with Uncle William."
I extracted myself from the embrace and cradled his face in my hands.
"I'm going somewhere today. Take good care of both yourself and Aria. I shall be back in at little while."
I couldn't help but break into a smile when Noah kissed my cheek and caressed my face.
Seeing us, Aria joined us. She hugged my neck and said,
"Mom, I will take care of Noah as well."
I kissed her head and pulled the two of them closer.
I did not mention anything about the Crystal Blood Pack again. Having a pleasant time with my children was something I did not want to ruin.
I spent some time giggling and playing with them. After that, I informed them that I would come back the day after tomorrow. They said they would miss me. I was so lucky to have such caring children. During the time that I was occupied with them, there was a knock on the door.
The door had already been opened. Because a maid had arrived, she simply knocked on the door to get our attention and let us know that she had arrived.
"Young Miss, everyone is waiting for you three at the table for dinner."

"We are coming," I told the maid. She bowed to me and left the room.
"Let's go
for dinner," I said to Aria and Noah.
The two of them got out of bed. Both of them were holding my hands.
Along with my twins, I made my way out of the room.
We reached the dining room. I sat them on their seats, which were close to my chair. I took a seat next to my brother.
My father still sat in the head chair. Though Jason had become the Alpha, he wanted my father not to change his place at home.
When we all started to eat, my gaze drew toward Eric. I thanked him silently by moving my
mouth.
He indicated that everything was well by nodding his head at me.
"I heard you are going to that pack." I heard Jason's angry voice.
I knew he would oppose it since he hated Adrian the most.
"Brother, Alpha Lucas is sick. I have to go."
Jason listened to me while chewing his food. He looked in deep thought, so he did not let out anything for a while.
I silently concentrated on my food. I could only pray in my heart that Jason would not get angry at me.
"Fine. But if that man does anything like he did that party night, I will be the hardest person for him to deal with." Jason mumbled, which was audible to everyone else in the room.
I glanced at Eric to know if he had told my brother about the incident in the hotel room. He shook his head, declaring that he did not say anything.
I understood that Jason was talking about the party. He saw the photos of me and Adrian going to a room.
"Brother, I promise. Everything will be fine this time."
Upon turning my head, I looked at Noah and Aria. There was a clear indication that Noah was paying close attention to what his uncle was saying.
"Let's not talk about it right now," I said to everyone. They agreed with me while glancing at my children.
After dinner, I took my leave from everyone. My father wanted me to take his car. I declined. his offer and requested that he hand me the less expensive car that was stored in the pack

house. I did not want Adrian to doubt me.
Jason wanted me to drive there, but I refused since he had so many things to handle in the pack.
I waved my hand at my family and my children, then got in the car.
I believed that I would return to this pack the day after tomorrow.
As soon as I felt a chilly breeze brush across my face through the window, I leaned back against my seat and closed my eyes.
The driver started the car and proceeded to the destination, the Crystal Blood Pack.
