Malcolm I still knew my way around the house and only a few things had changed over the years. I went straight to Noah’s room and luckily for me, he had not chahed the room. As I arrived there, I knocked on the door and I could hear the steps of a person approaching. The door opened immediately after, revealing Noah’s face. He scoffed the moment he saw me. “You still have the guts to show your fucking face. You’re lucky that Brie and Remi are inside. I badly want to punch you. You deserve it for cosying up somewhere while my sister and mother were suffering your death.” He fired at me and I refrained from saying anything to him. It was not like I had anything to say. “I came to see Brie and Remi.” “Of course you do.” He drew out in sarcasm as he stepped out of the way. “You’re a heartless coward. If Noelle hadn't met you by accident, I know you would never have bothered to come back and you would have kept hiding Jamie from us.” I did not reply to him as I walked into his room.
Noelle It had been two days since Jamie’s accident and today was finally the day for their birthday party. It was going to take place in the evening and Jamie’s cast was already off. He was already walking, but he still limped and mom assured him of moving and sometimes the girls. Malcolm also helped as he spent a lot of time with the kids. I knew that he would never have stayed over if not for Jamie’s request. He only stayed because of him and he had been doing a good job in avoiding conversation. If he was not in the room, he was in the kid's room and he was skillfully avoiding a conversation with any of us. “Are Jamie’s friends on their way?” I asked Malcolm who was standing beside me for the first time in two days as he nodded. I looked around the hall and what could I say, my father did a good job in the decorations. The room basics transformed, bathed in soft evening light. Twinkling fairy lights shimmered like stars, while colorful balloons cast long shadows. The "Happy Bir
Noelle What the hell was wrong with him? Malcolm kept doing whatever he wished, whatever he felt like doing and it was so fucking frustrating. He walked away? Where did he even think he was going when he had yet to clear things up?“Malcolm!!” I called after him, the music sounds coming from the birthday hall, getting more faint. “Where do you think you’re going? Stop right there and talk to me. Stop being a fucking coward.” I yelled after him as he just kept walking away. “You think I’m being a coward?” He suddenly stopped as he turned to face me. “Then what are you? You’re a fucking coward Malcolm. It’s like you keep forgetting that you are the head of our family. You’re still my husband and the father of our three kids. Do you think you can just run away from your duties by faking your death? Huh??” I asked as I angrily stomped my feet on the ground. I was fed up. With him and everything, I was fucking fed up. “I was not running away from my duties Noelle.” He uttered as he too
Malcolm I took in deep breaths as I walked into the party hall. Everywhere was filled with kids running around and then a few parents. The air was joyous and though things didn't go the way I planned, I was glad that Jamie got to celebrate his birthday with his sister. He looked so happy and the fact that he couldn't run around as he wanted because of his injury. It prevented him from doing what he wanted. I had no idea where Noelle was, I just left her there, because I could not bear to be in her presence anymore. The best thing to do after telling her everything was to leave. I stood by a pillar as I watched the kids play around and from time to time, my eyes would land on the entrance. I was waiting for Noelle. I couldn't help but wonder what she was up to. It was never my intention to hurt her, but like I said, a lot of things never went the way we wanted. I was still glancing from the party to the entrance when I felt a presence. I looked to my side and was surprised to see
Noelle Dang it! I was fuvking exhausted and my head was literally spinning as I took the kids to bed. It had been a really long day and it was so very late. The party was a blast, after my conversation with Malcolm, I tried my very best to put a smile on my face as I celebrated with my kids. The day was about them after all. I gave them the gifts I got for them, same with everyone as they also shared out the presents they had got for their friends. By the time we were done, everyone was already very exhausted. Remi had fallen asleep just when the party was almost over, so Malcolm took her upstairs so he could bathe her and take her to bed. I took Brie and Jamie upstairs immediately after as well. I then ran a shower and placed them in bed, along with their sister. While Malcolm immediately left the room, I stayed back and just sat watching the kids. They were growing so well. So healthy and cute. I couldn't help but remember the day I had them, they were so very little and at that
MalcolmI was feeling a little bit disoriented, and then I decided to go for a walk. The whole hallway was empty and there was no one around. They must have probably gone to sleep. I was sure that everyone was tired after the party. The party was really draining and I myself was tired, but I needed some time to think and I just couldn't do that by sitting on my bed. My head wasn’t a mess. I couldn’t think straight, so I decided to take a walk, that was when I heard voices.I wondered who it was, but the voice sounded so very familiar. It sounded so much like Noelle. My wife and it seemed like she was struggling with something or rather someone, so I decided to check it out.My eyes widened the moment I saw her with Liam. His hands were on her shoulder and he kept leaning towards her as she tried to push him away. He Was trying to kiss her forcefully. My eyes widened in horror and I immediately ran to where they both were. I didn't stop for a moment as I yanked Liam away from her, the
CHAPTER ONE NOTE TO READERS THIS IS THE BOOK TWO OF PREGNANT AFTER ONE NIGHT WITH THE LYCAN KING, BUT CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE. ....... NOELLE The mansion boomed with excitement. The maids and guards moved about hanging up decorations in preparation for Malcolm's marriage. After handing the last basket of flowers to the maids, I found a corner to sit. Ahead of me was the brown-haired devil that graced my dreams and messed with my senses, leaning on the counter in a seductive pose, teasing his fiancee, Emery. I could feel the fake smile I had managed to plaster on my face all day slip off. My chest clenched as I watched her giggle and hit him playfully. A cruel reminder that she was the only one that could occupy his heart. They had been together for three years now and during that time, I had to constantly remind myself that I had no business falling for Malcolm. He was everything I couldn't own. Tall with a lean muscular frame. Charming grey eyes, curly b
NOELLE “It's not what it looks like,” he blurted desperately. The words got me even more agitated. The audacity of this male to pull his dick out of a woman and deny it before me. “Fine, go ahead and explain,” I crossed my arms. I was curious to hear what excuse he would come up with. “I… I … she seduced me! I was on my way to the mansion when she walked in…” he stopped, realizing his excuse did not make any sense in the least. Falling to his knees, he grabbed my hands, “Please forgive me, Noelle. I love you…” I yanked my hand from him in disgust. “I've had enough of this nonsense. I mean what was I expecting when I gave a wild dog the chance? I, Noelle Adlen, reject you, Mykel Henshaw, as my mate!” I spat, storming out of the room, ignoring his pleas and cries of desperation. There was a dull ache in my heart as I returned to the car. My wolf was hurt. I let my head rest on the steering wheel as I thought about how miserable my life was. The man I loved all my

As I arrived there, I knocked on the door and I could hear the steps of a person approaching. The door opened immediately after, revealing Noah’s face.

MalcolmGetting a call from Noelle that Jamie was injured was definitely not what I was expecting. I seriously did not expect her to suddenly call me. It was so unusual and I could only guess that something was not right when I saw her name on the phone screen. And I was right. How the hell did my son get injured?I immediately stopped the work that I was doing. Running out of my office, I went straight to my car and sped off to Noelle's parent's place. She had told me that they were currently there. And seriously, it was not my plan to meet her parents just yet or any of her family. I was not ready to face Layla. Not in any way. As I got down from my car, I raced towards the house and I noticed the strange look the guards kept giving me. I totally ignored them as I went into the house. The moment I got to the sitting room, I saw a man there. Liam. The man that Noelle was getting engaged to. He was in their house. I felt a pang of jealousy as I saw him, but I said nothing and just a
Noelle My heart kept racing as I ran upstairs in panic. The kids loved running around a lot and it always ended up with them landing in trouble. They were always up to one mischief or the other. My mom was behind me as we both ran upstairs, going straight to the girl's room. They also had their room in my parent's house, in case they were both sleeping over. “Jamie!” I called as I opened the door rushing into the room. I was greeted with his loud cries. They were all crying. But the girls were standing while Jamie was on the ground, holding his leg.“Jamie!!” I called in horror as I rushed towards him. He looked hurt as he kept clutching his right leg. “What happened here?” The moment I placed my hand on his leg, his cries intensified. “Brienne, Remielle, what happened here?” I asked in a stern voice as Mom crouched down before Jamie as well. “Jamie fell.” Remi sniffled and my eyes widened in horror. What the hell did she mean by that? How the hell did he fall? I looked around the
Noelle “So you mean Malcolm has been alive all this while?’’ Mom asked as I slowly nodded my head. We were all seated in the sitting room. Mom, Dad, Noah and Liam. I would have preferred if it was only the four of us except Liam. But since we were getting married, he had indirectly become a member of the family.“What did he say? How’s he doing? Why didn't you bring him here?? Only God knows what the poor boy might have gone through.’’ Mom concluded, her whole body shaking with Sobs. She has been crying since we sent the triplets upstairs. Dad already told her to stop crying, but she just couldn’t stop.“I can’t believe that you’re crying because of him. He left my sister for five years. We were all mourning him, but he has been alive all this while. I remember you having sleepless nights and if you even managed to sleep, you cried to bed and it was all because you thought Malcolm was dead. He hid from all of us and it’s not as if we sent him out of our life. Stop crying already.” No
