Chapter 18


    "Please stay, Nona," they begged profusely. They couldn''t quite pronounce my name correctly, so they


    just called me Nona. I sat back down and they crawled into myp. "Please don''t go," they pouted with


    puppy dog eyes. I couldn''t say no to those eyes. Especially when there were two pair of them. I had to


    stay now. I turned and gave Elias the same puppy dog eyes as the girls turned their attention to him as


    well. Elias sighed defeat.


    "How about you girls both just stay at the pack house with Nova?" he offered instead. They both


    gasped before going off excitedly.


    "Really?!" they said in unison. They started bouncing around Elias in circles and giggling.


    Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    "Sit still," Elias growled sternly. They sat still next to me and closed their mouths immediately. It was so


    cute. "Nova, find Yana so she can make a bag for them," he said. I stood and kissed his cheek before I


    went to the yground. Yana had me watch the rest of the kids while she went to pack the girls a bag.


    She came back empty handed. I looked at her confused.


    "Where are the bags?" I asked. She smiled sweetly.


    "Master Madsen, this is very generous of you," Yana said to him instead before she turned to me.


    "They have already been ced in the SUV waiting outside," she exined. I thanked her before I


    went outside to see that, sure enough, there was a ck SUV with tinted windows waiting for us. The


    girls sprinted to the car and climbed inside. Elias must have brought that with him. There were car


    seats in the back seat making me think that Elias probably called someone while I was going to get


    Yana. I strapped the girls in and we were off. Elias drove the short drive back to the house. As soon as


    Elias parked, the girls were struggling to undo their seatbelts. As soon as they were undone, the girls


    took off inside the house.


    "na! Anya!" I called once we got inside. I heard the little pitter-patter of tiny feet running closer


    before they were bouncing in ce in front of me, trying to suppress their giggles. Elias came up


    beside me and looked at the girls. He spared me a nce before he sighed.


    "The room next to Nova''s is set up for you two," he said in monotone. I was excited too, this time. I ran


    up the stairs with the twins at my heels. I threw open the door next to mine. There were two twin beds


    setup with pink princess nkets. He wasn''t kidding when he said that the room was set up for them,


    specifically. The girls squealed before they each chose a bed and jumped on it, giggling. He would


    probably deny it, but the corner of Elias'' mouth did pull up just slightly. "We have a big day tomorrow, so


    rest up," he said to them before he left. They each grabbed their bag and began fishing through it for


    their pajamas. I smiled at them as I leaned against the doorframe.


    "na, Anya, I''m going to talk to Eli but I''ll be back to say goodnight, okay?" I said.


    "Okay!" they smiled in unison before they went back to their bags. I chuckled and shook my head


    before I went to look for Elias. I checked his office first. When he wasn''t there, I remember him saying


    that his room was on the fourth floor. I walked up the flights of stairs beforeing onto a door that


    blocked the entire floor. I hesitantly knocked.


    "Come in," Elias said from the other side of the door. I cracked it open before I walked in. I looked


    around the room in awe. The entire fourth floor was his room. He had a few couches facing a TV on the


    far right wall and a giant extra California king-sized bed against the back wall. His bathroom doors were


    open on the left. I assumed the other set of doors led to an excessive walk-in closet. There were


    dressers and even a vanity. There were big windows lining the nk parts of the walls, making the


    room feel open and airy. The plush cream carpet felt good against my feet. The furniture was all made


    out of cherry red wood, giving the giant room a homey feel still. Elias chuckled at my expression.


    "This is my room," he smiled at me. I momentarily forgot why I came up here I the first ce. I wrapped


    my arms around his neck in a hug when he got closer. Elias froze before he gently hugged me back.


    "Thank you," I said sincerely.
