Capítulo 18: Book 2 - Chapter 1
5 Years Later
Echo's POV
"No Max, there is no way I'm going back, I've told you what happened there and it's just not happening! I refuse" My boyfriend, Max, was trying to convince me to go back to Beacon Hills for Scott and Malia's wedding. "No! I don't care if Malia is begging me to go, he will be there and I'm not risking it, not again" I remember when I went to Trudy's funeral, I was forced to stand next to Derek the whole way through the entire ceremony. The Mate pull was making me want to jump him, but I controlled myself.
But that was a whole four years ago now, so the pain from the Mate Pull was considerably less painful, but I knew as soon I even got within a mile of him, the urge to jump him with become nearly unbearable. Max and I have been together for 4 years and a bit, I hadn't slept with him, my mind and body couldn't agree if that was fair for him or not. Better yet, Malia had made me her maid of honour, so I have to get there a week earlier. She had wanted my final input on her wedding, like if she should have lace embellishments on the brides maids dresses or what type of flowers she wants on the tables at the reception.
I really didn't want to disappoint Malia, and it wouldnt really be fair on Scotty if I didn't come, but all the same he's guaranteed to be there, but I'll guess I'll have to take my chances. "Fine, I'll go" My boyfriend did a mini victory dance in the middle of our living room, I had decorated it to feel homely and had lots of different pictures of my family and Max. "Okay, I'll go and start packing" You see, my boyfriend never got to meet my family, and I've met his so many times, he thought it would only be fair.
Also, Malia wants me there tomorrow, so I should probably start packing. Okay, before I tell you anymore, you kind of need to know I have kids, twins to be exact. Silvia, Silvie for short and Ace, that is his name, it's not short for anything. Both of them are complete mischief makers, even at the age of 5. Both of them have my dark wavy brown hair, and piercing green eyes. Everytime I look at them I see their father, and they've asked me about their father before, so I took the coward road and said it was Max. He basically was anyway, he'd been there since since they were really small, the twins don't know anything different.
The twins adored Max, he was always there to pick them up after daycare, always there at night, always there to see every important moment that the twins' father was suppose to see. In a way it sometimes made me feel bad, but then I thought about how crushed the twins would be if I told them that he wasnt related to them in any way.
Another big thing, the twins are born wolves, that unfortunately means that they'll shift at the next full moon, which I wont be able to control them for. So I'll guess I'll have to go back anyway. Max knew about the whole werewolf thing, but that didn't mean he wants slightly uncomfortable with the subject.
Over the years, he has tried to communicate throught the bond, he would try and apologise over and over, sometimes he would keep apologising from midday to the early hours of the morning. But after about three years, or me saying that I've moved on, he gave up, but not without a final, 'Goodbye Echo'. That made my heart break and I locked myself in my room for days. Two years later, I haven't felt a single thing through the mate bond. I never knew to be happy or sad about it really. I snapped out of my thoughts when two pairs of arms gripped my legs. "Mommy!" The twins squealed in sync. I bent down to their level, "How do you feel about a road trip?"
================
After a painfully long drive, we had finally made it to my old house. Silvie and Ace were both asleep, I'm so thankful that they are werewolves sometimes, that means they dont get sick, especially in the car. I sighed and Max wrapped an arm around me. "You'll be fine" He whispered while kissing my forehead. I nodded and got out the car to get the twins. I want to add another thing, I swear these twins don't put on any weight, they burn the calories off too quickly by being so damn hyper, all the time. I put Silvie in my arms and Ace went to Max, if you're wondering about their last name, its McCall, I didn't want their father to trace them.
My Mom heard us park in the driveway and ran upto us. She hesitated when she saw the twins, but brushed it off as she enveloped me in a warm hug. I heard my brother's footsteps not far behind. "Echo!" He yelled before running up and hugging me. At the corner of my eye, I could see Max looking uncomfortable. "You must be Echo's boyfriend, I'm Melissa" He shook hands with Mom before also shaking hands with my brother. "Now, let's get you inside, I'm afraid lots of your stuff remained at Derek's, so your room looks a bit empty" I visibly tensed at his name.
"Its ok honey, go upstairs and get settled. Your son can go in with Scott, and your daughter can stay with you, boyfriend, I'm afraid you're also staying with Scott" I sighed at my mothers overprotective ness. "We wouldn't do anything anywa-" She shut me up with a glare. "Okay" I mumbled, while pecking Max on the cheek and giving him his bag. I went upstairs with my suitcase and opened my door, it seemed all the same, the same patchwork quilt, the same pictures stuck up on the wall, and the same fairy lights I had that went around my mirror. I sighed and got Silvie changed into some bunny pajamas and then laid her on the bed.
I got changed myself and laid down next to my daughter. My room was still small, but I always made it feel big, with warm colours and lots of wall decorations. I sighed and fell into a seamless sleep, tomorrow, to face the bride.
