“So, this was all happening in the past, and since that night, Brandon hasn’t been the Brandon I knew. Everyone lost him, along with Sophia and Caroline.”, Bruce said, brushing the tears from the corner of his eyes. The pain of losing Caroline always used to bring tears to everyone’s eyes while Eden kept looking at him dumbfounded, not sure of what to say. If she was mad at Brandon, then she felt sorry for him too because Sophia had her pups with her, but he… he had no one.
“And what about that woman? Abby?”, She asked.
“She got all her memories after seven months of that incident, and till then, Uncle Logan fed her lies about Brandon getting kidnap from the place where he went to play a football match,” Bruce answered. “It went on for days to months, and one day, her memories were back, and she left again, but this time to remain in touch.”
“Brandon didn’t take care of his first love?”
“Brandon was not in a sense to take care of himself at that moment.”
Eden sighed in relief, knowing that. The fact that there could be any other girl in Brandon’s life was disturbing her. She didn’t want to go through any type of pain because of any third party.
“And what about the person who is actually the main villain of the story?"
“No one has heard or seen anything strange in the last five years. So, as of now, I don’t know. In fact, no one knows about him and her.” Bruce answered, but that question indeed raised a question in his mind. Was there any chance that the anonymous villain would return back to everyone’s life?
Maybe, maybe not.
“So there can be chances that Calvin and Colton’s life can be in danger,” Eden concluded and mentally started planning how to keep both the pup safe. “But don’t worry, if that person is a werewolf, then I’m sure Queen won’t spare for hurting her godsons. And if she is a witch, which is a chance that she can be because she has the power to possess anyone, then also, she is going to regret it because we have a connection with witches too.” She added with a smile to cheer up the atmosphere.
Bruce nodded his head in an understanding way, knowing very well that the Queen was mated with Oliver, and in that way, Sophia’s pups were also related to her.
“By the way, I forgot to ask Calvin and Colton… Sophia held them in her womb for how long? Nine months or three months?” Bruce couldn’t hold but ask.
“To be honest, I don’t know the exact time, but it was definitely more than six or seven months. I mean, when we met her, she was already pregnant, which was in the month of the rainy season, May, I guess.
And she gave birth to Colton on 31st December of the same year and Calvin on 1st January.”
Bruce started calculating everything in his mind. That incident was in May, so at that moment, Sophia was pregnant.
But how could no one smell that?
It was impossible for anyone to miss the change in her scent at the beginning of the pregnancy if she had been pregnant for nine months. Now, he had only one option with him, to ask about it with Brandon.
“I know what are you thinking that is there any chance that pups are werewolves?”
“You can’t blame me for that, can’t you?” Bruce chuckled. “Just like me, my friends are missing their half soul. So, when I saw both the pups, a part of me became hopeful that one of them could be the future of our pack. But… but I also know that they are Sophia’s pups, and she had her rights on them first.”
“Don’t worry. I can smell your intention, and I know you mean no danger to them.” Eden winked playfully, hitting Bruce’s arms. “As for now, they both are just like normal pups. Who will shift into a werewolf, and who won’t be figured out only after fourteen years.”
“Yeah, right.” Bruce nodded his head because he knew before thinking of future alpha, he needed to plan about reconciliation between both the couples. Well, not reconciliation, to be exact, but REMARRIAGE. “Why don’t you fill me about the details of both the pups? So that it will be easier for Brandon to talk with them because we both have realized that they don’t know about the past.”
“Well, not both, to be exact. Colton knows.”
“The one who speaks less and observes more?”
“Yes, the same. He is way too smart, so he somehow starts thinking that his father doesn’t love him and doesn’t want him. That’s why I had to tell him that Brandon doesn’t have any idea about his or his brother’s existence and the reason behind it was a fight between his mom and dad.”
“And how did he respond?”
“Calmly, but he has a lot of questions for Brandon, and I’m sure that he will ask those questions when Calvin won’t be around.”
Bruce gulped his saliva nervously, “Then I must know everything about them so that I will make sure that Brandon will be prepared for the tsunami in which his pups were going to throw.”

Otherside!!
Colton was using his tablet and preparing a questionnaire for his dad. A lot of things were going on in his tiny head. If a part of him was happy because he finally met his father, then another part of him was not letting him stay happy for longer. He knew about the fight between mom and dad. So, he wasn’t sure that his father would really now stay with them or it was just happiness for a few days.
