LEAH’S POVI was currently at work, just finished a meeting with our company’s higher ups which dragged on longer than expected. During the meeting, I was feeling somehow restless and distracted. I couldn’t shake the bad feeling in my gut. Something doesn’t feel right. So, as soon as the meeting ended, I rushed back to my office, my instinct telling me to check my phone.And when I finally had my phone in my hands, my heart skipped a beat seeing the three missed calls, all from Calvin.I frowned, this time, I was the one to try to call him. But then, no one answered. I tried again, and again. As the call went unanswered each time, the growing dread clawed at my insides. I bought a tablet for my babies, they share it sometimes, but most of the time, it was Calvin who uses it. And every time I call, he always picks up. Always.Cold sweat broke out on my forehead as I held my phone tremblingly in my hands. I didn’t bother to waste another second as I grabbed my bag and dashed out of my o
LEAH’S POVFor a moment, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It has been two months since I last saw them, and I never expected our paths to cross again. In fact, I hadn’t even allowed myself to think about it. I had already convinced myself that they had completely forgotten that someone like me existed.But now, they were here. They were oozing such commanding presence in a way that made it hard for me to breathe.They continued watching me together with the kids, their eyes never leaving our form. And that made my heart beat wildly.The shock and fear were still there, but I knew that I had to do something right now. They helped my babies and I know I should settle things and at least thank them.“Stay here with your sister, okay?” I instructed Calvin and Clyde with a soft yet firm voice, quickly glancing back towards Hudson and Brixton.“I need to talk to these gentlemen outside for a moment.”My little boys nodded in understanding. I ruffled their hair, taking one more look at Bella who
LEAH’S POV“Uncle!” Clyde exclaims as soon as he saw the person who entered the room.My eyes wandered towards Hudson, feeling my heart pounding loudly as our gazes met for a moment. I was filled with question. Why is he here again?I felt as if the air had left my lungs when I saw how he looked at my boys with such gentleness… which I never expected from him. The more I thought about it, the more my heart raced.I also noticed how Calvin and Clyde’s faces lit up as soon as they saw Hudson coming back inside the room, and it left me feeling even more complicated.But I knew I had to do something, as to not give away something very obvious. I cleared my throat, facing my two little boys as I instructed them gently.“Go thank him, darlings.”They obediently nodded at me before trotting towards Hudson who was standing a few feet away from us. They stopped in front of him, their height only reaching to the middle of his thighs as they raised their heads to look up at him.Something seemed
LEAH’S POVI realized they were already piercing things together… things I wasn’t ready for them to know. At least not now.“Boys,” I began softly, calling their attention as I tried to change the topic. “I want to know what exactly happened before Bella got sick. Can you tell me?”This time, their attention finally shifted after hearing my question. They started explaining everything with their innocent and sweet voice as they recounted the events that happened earlier this morning. Each word made my heart ache painfully, the worry and guilt came crashing back to me as I listened to their explanation.“Next time, you can’t go with strangers, okay?” I gently reminded them as soon as they finished explaining everything up to when Hudson and Brixton came to help them.“Not all people are like those… uncles you’ve met earlier.” I pressed my lips in anxiousness. “There are bad people out there who might take advantage of little kids like you.”“Yes, mom.” They both nodded and replied in u
LEAH’S POV“Mommy, who was the uncle just now?” Bella asked as she gazed up at me, curiosity was evident in her eyes.I stilled, but only for a second. She was asking about Brixton, but just as I was about to answer, Clyde, who was also standing beside the bed near their sister, beat me to it.“That’s Uncle Brixton, sister! He’s one of the uncles who helped us bring you to the hospital.” His voice was proud as he continued explaining along with Calvin beside him.Bella nodded slowly as she listened, taking in the information her brothers were telling her. I stood there, watching them talk until I saw how my baby girl’s face turned guilty.She turned her head and looked up at me, “I’m sorry, mommy… I didn’t mean to make you and my brothers worry.”My heart clenched, hearing the pitiful tone in her words. I sat beside her on the bed before leaning in to kiss her forehead.“You don’t have to say sorry, sweetheart. It’s not your fault, okay? No one’s at fault here.” I spoke to her gently,
LEAH’S POV“Uncle… you and I have the same eyes!”Bella’s innocent voice echoed throughout the room, but her words were like bolts of lightning striking me. Then I saw how Calvin and Clyde also turned to look at Brixton, their expression mirroring Bella’s curiosity.As for me, my heart sank. For a moment, I felt like the world has stopped spinning. The air seemed to left my lungs as I find it hard to breathe. Bella’s question hung in the air, and silence enveloped the whole room for a few seconds. It was suffocating…I didn’t expect her to say those words aloud. They had noticed – noticed what I’ve been terrified for them to know. And just when I thought things couldn’t get any more complicated, Brixton’s gaze snapped towards me, his eyes were now filled with a dark intensity, filled with meaning I couldn’t decipher.But it made my heart pound nervously.“Because…” He broke away from our gaze and turned to face the kids, staring straight at Bella as he trailed off. “Because it’s meant
LEAH’S POVWhen I heard that familiar voice, and as I turn to see the man wearing a white coat whom I just bumped into, my eyes slightly widened seeing his familiar face.“Felix?” I let out a low gasp, shock evident in my voice. He was a friend, and we hadn’t seen each other for a year now.He also looked shocked upon seeing me, but then he smiled warmly, his eyes lighting up in recognition.“Leah, it’s been a while. How have you been?” He smiled gently at me, adjusting the glasses he was wearing.“I should be asking you that.” I smiled back at him, still reeling from the surprise. “When did you get back? Marina hasn’t mentioned to me you’ve came back already.”Felix was Marina’s nephew. The first time I met him was from five years ago, during one of the hardest times of my life. I was still pregnant during that time and had to fend off for myself and my unborn children, and I was desperately searching for a job. After a long day of applying at different companies, I was exhausted and
LEAH’S POVSince Clyde had already saw him, I couldn’t just let Felix stand outside and had no choice but to let him in. As he entered the room, the kids’ faces lit up when they finally saw him.“Uncle Felix! You’re back!”Seeing the kids’ enthusiasm, Felix also greeted them warmly. I stood on the side, unsure of what to do. I took a quick glance towards Hudson and Brixton who were now sitting on the couch. They were also looking towards Felix and his interaction with the kids.Suddenly, Hudson’s eyes met mind. His gaze was sharp, and I felt out of breath. Why is he even looking at me like that… as if I committed a crime? I shook my head, trying to erase these kind of thoughts before I finally joined in the conversation between the kids and Felix.But then, Clyde ran back towards where Hudson and Brixton was as he introduced Felix to both Hudson and Brixton.“Uncle Felix, these are Uncle Hudson and Uncle Brixton. They were the one who helped us get Bella here in the hospital.”I wante
LEAH’S POVThe days passed by and quickly turned into weeks. Hudson and Brixton often take the kids out with them, and the kids were happy each time they spend time with their fathers.But then, even though all I wanted was for them to be happy, I still couldn’t shake the dread in my heart. The triplets’ 5th birthday is approaching, and it was the very reason why I was starting to grow anxious.I have a werewolf blood. Naturally, my babies would inherent some of my bloodline too. Now that their 5th birthday is approaching, I couldn’t help but worry for the possibility that they may soon unlock their werewolf abilities. Back when I was still at my previous pack, children often unlock their abilities as early as the age of five.I, myself, unlocked my abilities during the age of 6. But the worry in my heart continued surging with the possibility that my children would experience it earlier than me.Hudson and Brixton were… human. At least, that’s what I think. I couldn’t directly ask th
LEAH’S POVFor a moment, I grew still on my spot. It was not until I heard the movements behind me that I finally shifted slightly.“Hey…”As soon as I realized their tall and brooding figures now standing beside me, my heart started pounding even loudly inside my chest.“Uhm… thanks.” I shot them a quick glance before I zipped the folder I was holding, trying to look calm and busy so they won’t notice the current sudden nervousness inside me.“We’ll come with you during the field inspection next week.” Hudson’s gentle voice entered my ears. I was slightly taken back, not really expecting that they would personally go there.Earlier, during the presentation, we’ve also discussed and mentioned about the field inspection that we would be conducting to see the status of our current ongoing project.I never thought they would propose the idea of going there themselves.“That sounds good.” I tried to ignore the awkwardness and nervousness I was feeling. I stared at them straight, flashing
LEAH’S POV“Shall we use my car or yours?” Jane asked me as we were getting ready with the files we needed to present later.“I’m fine with any.” I answered her while arranging the files and putting them inside the folder.“Forget it.” Jane stood up from her seat and pointed at me, making me raise my brows.“My car?”“Yes. Your car.” She answered as she waved her hand. “Yours is far more expensive and looks more expensive.”I chuckled at her words. After preparing the necessary files and outputs, we finally headed out of our company building as we both climbed in inside my car and started driving towards The Finance.Today was the schedule to present the monthly report about our ongoing project with The Finance. And as usual, we needed to get to their company to make the presentation.There was an unknown tension and nervousness building up inside me. It was not because I was scared to present later, it was the last thing I would get afraid of either.Instead, the nervousness I was fe
LEAH’S POVMy body turned still as I faced the screen with both Hudson and Brixton’s faces on it. It was all too sudden that I didn’t even know what to do at that moment. My heart was pounding too loud that it kept ringing in my ears, leaving me feel breathless.“Daddy, mommy’s here now!”I snapped out of my stunned stupor when I heard the kids’ enthusiastic voices. I pressed my lips tightly as I tried to suppress the sudden shock and nervousness of facing Hudson and Brixton.“Hey…”It was Hudson who spoke first, beside him was Brixton who also had a gentle yet somewhat teasing smile on his lips.“Hi.” I bit my lip afterwards, mentally slapping myself for how constricted I sounded just now. I could only hope they didn’t notice my reaction earlier.Everything about this… this call… just feels odd and new. And it was sending a foreign surge of feelings inside me that I couldn’t even quite name.My body was rigid after that one word I just said. Contrary to earlier, my heart was pounding
THIRD PERSON’S POVHudson and Brixton stood in the expansive living room of their mansion. The walls were adorned with intricate designs, with some large famous paintings and artworks displayed on it. The gleaming marble floors also reflected the soft light streaming through the large, exquisite chandeliers on the high ceiling.This huge, luxurious mansion was nestled within an exclusive villa in City B, clearly representing their wealth and status. Its construction had taken three years to be completed. However, despite its grandeur, it had rarely been used. The two rarely stays in this mansion, leaving it somewhat desolate with housekeepers only coming and go for its maintenance.Hudson and Brixton also owned a luxurious, modern penthouse near their company, which they mostly stayed at as they preferred its convenience within the heart of the city. Therefore, this grand estate was almost mostly untouched.But now, with the sudden revelation – with the sudden change of events, Hudson
LEAH’S POVI found myself staring blankly at the papers on my desk in front of me. It was just past lunch time, and I’ve stayed most of the day inside my office, trying to busy myself with paperwork. Yet my thoughts were a tangled mess. I couldn’t help replaying the events that happened last night, making it quite hard for me to focus.Last night, I hadn’t planned on joining the triplets with their dinner with both Hudson and Brixton. My intention was to let the kids spend some time together with their fathers while I stayed behind at home. I thought it was what Hudson and Brixton wanted to – to bond with the triplets without me there.But then, when they insisted that I come along, I was caught off guard.I could still remember the look on their faces when they realized I wasn’t planning to join them. Their eyes narrowed at me with a look of slight displeasure and disappointment.“What? Don’t you want to come with us and the kids?” Brixton asked, his tone deep and quite sharp that it
LEAH’S POVI watched my angels timidly take a step forward as they stopped in front of Hudson and Brixton. My heart swelled with a mix of emotions I could barely contain. This moment has been long anticipated, yet I equally feared for it to arrive, and its now unfolding before my eyes.Hudson and Brixton – they were now no longer just the uncles in the eyes of my children. Today, they were finally being recognized as their fathers.“Daddy…” Bella’s small voice was filled with a hesitant warmth as she looked up at both Hudson and Brixton with wide, hopeful eyes.Calvin and Clyde followed suit, their voice low and shy yet filled with emotions.Then, I noticed how Brixton and Hudson’s faces softened. The usually unreadable masks they wore melted into expressions of genuine warmth and gentleness. They crouched down to the kids’ level, their eyes flickering with emotions that seems to tug something deep inside me.“Hey there, little ones.” Brixton spoke in a gentle tone, his voice filled w
LEAH'S POVMy heart swelled with emotions. I knew there was no turning back now. I already made the decision, and my kids deserved everything in this world.I nodded at Bella, forcing a small smile on my lips despite the complicated emotions I was feeling. “Of course, you can, darling.”Their faces lit up once more, the pure joy and excitement couldn’t be concealed on them.“We have a daddy now!” Clyde exclaimed, grinning ear to ear as he faced both Bella and Calvin beside him, his face showing a proud and happy look. “And we have two daddies at that!”His words earned a giggle from Bella and also an eager nod from Calvin.I watched them silently. Seeing their reactions somewhat made my heart feel a little lighter. It made me happy as long as they’re happy.“Alright, it’s getting late. You should go to sleep now.” I said in a gentle tone, tucking them once more on the bed.“Mom, can we see our daddies tomorrow? Or will they still be busy?” Calvin asked me another question.I hesitated,
LEAH“Mommy… Uncle Hudson and Uncle Brixton are so niceeee! Can they just be our daddy?”Bella’s innocent question struck me like a lightning. My heart skipped a beat a beat, and my mind raced as I tried to process what she had just asked.The three of them were now staring at me, their eyes wide as they waited for an answer I wasn’t even prepared to give.I swallowed hard, feeling my throat tightening. I couldn’t think of any words to respond. But then, Calvin’s soft voice cut through the silence as he stared at his siblings.“But we already have a daddy, right? He’s away at work…” His innocent and thoughtful tone echoed through the room.The three fell silent once more. Calvin’s statement hung in the air, and their little faces were now deep in thought.My heart clenched as I realized the consequences of the lie I had told them in the past – about a daddy was always busy, who was always away and couldn’t come home.“But daddy is always away…” Clyde was the first to break the silence
