THE LYCAN KING'S CLAIM

CHAPTER SIX

* Five years later*

Scarlet POV:

“Mummy, mummy”, I heard my daughter Elra yelled as she was jumping on the bed, Elijah said if you don't hurry there won't be any pancake left for you,

I gasped dramatically, “he wouldn't”

“He would”. She giggled and ran off,

Elra get back here!

Bumping into Elijah was one of the best things that happened to me after my munch kins of course, “I second that, it's been five years, but it feels like yesterday” Averia replied.

Elijah owns a club that I performed at night and during the day I work as a waitress at a café down the street so far life has been good, everything has been working out perfectly. Elijah knows nothing about me except from I ran away from home, he thinks my baby daddy abandoned me a– “of course he will think that, you told him nothing about him, and you do avoid the topic like it's COVID!!” I rolled my eyes at Averia,

Why don't you suggest me telling him I am a werewolf, you know I should shift in his prese– oh! I love the sound of that She replied giggling with evil glint in her eyes, she loves cooking Elijah in my head, I chuckled as I made my way to the bathroom to freshen up for the day.

Hmm something smells delicious, I said as I made my way to the kitchen.

Mummy, I made pancakes. My son Thane yelled, clapping his hands happily, really! You did it all alone? I folded my arms, “fine, I had a little help from Uncle Elijah” he grumbled, And what do you tell your uncle?

“ Thane, you just broke my heart, little? Elijah winned like a kid

“ You only helped to bring out what I needed and mix the flour” my son shot out, he is too mature for his age.

“ He is the son of the lycan king, the first son, and a leader,” Averia said, puffing out her chest.

He is my son, my first son and my baby, remember that Averia, she rolled her eyes and went to the back of my mind.

“ No”

“ Yes”

“No”

Oh! They are still bickering, I stare at my little family, yes, family Elijah who is down to earth for my kids and me, my son that loves to be in control and doesn't joke with his family, my daughter… she is my little princess, she is so cute and shy just like me–

“ Wait! What? Do you remember I am the other part of you? So I know you inside out, and you are none of that, f**k off Averia I growled in annoyance. Back to my conversation, she is so bright, like the sun, but she certainly does not like bickering. Thane is so protective of her he once broke a kid's finger because he gave her flowers,“ he is so much like me, Averia signed happily, I rolled my eyes.

“ I made it for my mom, so no for you”

Oh my goodness they are still on this, how can Elijah argue effortlessly with a kid?

Elijah, stop bickering, you are acting like a child.

“I am not a child”, he yelled.

I'm pretty sure you are, I shot back.

“ Do you want to check? He smirked

Eww! I scrunch my nose.

Yes! Strip tease! Strip tease! Strip tease! STRIP TEASE! My wolf urges, and I can imagine the dollars in her paws.

No one is interested in seeing you dusty and cranked up garage Elijah.I replied, reaching for the orange juice.

“ Mummy, why is Uncle Elijah’s garage dusty? I chocked on the juice I was sipping on, staring at my daughter who was looking at me innocently.

“ Uncle Elijah why did you let your garage get dusty and cranked, my son asked furrowing his brows, and I chocked on air. When did the talk on pancakes switch to this?

“ Yes mummy why is my garage dusty? Elijah smirked at me

wow! Tane the pancakes look so beautiful, and I bet it will taste wonderful too,

“ Yes mom have a bite”

I glared hard at Elijah, who in return smiled at me, and I flipped him off

I will surely get him back for this.

“ Can I help? My wolf asked, showing me one of her wicked grins with an evil glint in her eyes. No! You can not

You are no fun, she grumbled.

“Bye! My kids waved excitedly at Elijah

“ Have fun but not too much fun, and be good to your mom, okay?

Yes, Uncle” they chorus

“ Alright see you tonight Scarlett

Okay bye, remember to have lunch.

Elijah is forgetful once he is busy with work, especially now that he is trying to open another branch.

Today is my day off in the café so I have a lot of time to play with my kids before going to the club.

“ Mummy, can you braid my hair? My daughter asked bouncing on her feet.

“ No we are not, we are playing puzzle

Tane, that's not a polite way to talk to your sister, how would you feel if Zac said that?

“ I am sorry Elia,“ it's okay she replied with a soft smile, gosh I love my kids.

“ But Zac wouldn't dare say that” he grumbled,

Really?tane! Goddess help me with this boy.
