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 POVMy body went still as Hudson’s words cut through the night air like a blade. I felt cold all over, my mind scrambling to process what he had just said.“W-what do you mean?” I stammered, desperately trying to keep my voice steady but I couldn’t mask the tremor in my tone. I felt confused and troubled, haunted by his words.Hudson’s eyes bore into mine. His gaze was dark and intense, holding me captive, and it only made my heart pound even more loudly against my chest.“The kids…” Hudson finally spoke again. His voice was low and deliberate as he trailed off. But his next question was enough to send me out of my wits.“Are they ours?”I took a step back, trying to distance away from him only to feel another strong pair of arms wrapping around my waist from behind.“Scared?” I shivered, feeling bolts of electric shock rushing through my whole body from his touch. It was Brixton who was now behind me, locking me in his strong embrace. “You want to escape, huh?”“I – I don’t kn
LEAH’S POVTheir faces immediately darkened upon hearing my statement. The air around us grew heavy with tension.Hudson took a slow, deliberate step toward me, his figure now looming over me like a shadow before I heard him spoke in a low and dangerous tone."What did you say, again?"My words caught in my throat as my gaze rose, and I clutched at my chest, trying to remain in control. Yet I couldn’t find the courage to speak again.Brixton's eyes locked onto mine, his voice laced with disbelief. "I can't believe this…"There was an intensity on his stare that made my heart pound so nervously."When did we ever say that we don't want anything to do with you... or the kids?I grew still in my spot, feeling my whole body turn numbed hearing his statement. His words appeared to keep echoing in my thoughts, further adding to the confusion. My mind was a whirlpool of emotions, swirling in every direction in an attempt to make sense of the situation.Hudson came closer, filling some iniqui
THIRD PERSON’S POV– Two Months Ago –Hudson and Brixton were inside the office, looking deeply bothered at something. The anticipation hung heavy in the air as they awaited the results of the investigation about Leah and the three kids they saw with her.The previous day, they had received a message from the investigator who told them that there had been significant progress and they would finally receive the full report the following day.“Damn, I feel like I’m going insane.” Brixton brushed his face against his palms as he let out a frustrated sigh.Hudson didn’t mirror his own expression, but there was also a troubled look on his face as he stared at the files on his desk. He can’t seem to focus fully on work thinking that they’ll finally get the results of the investigation tomorrow.Whether the two admit it or not, the wait was wracking their nerves. Which was the first time since they haven’t got deeply troubled about anything in the past. They were the invincible Lycan Kings w
THIRD PERSON’S POVSeeing Melanie enter their room made both Hudson and Brixton displeased. Yet they know it was their own fault for indulging with her in the past. Now, it seems like she couldn’t even get over them, even after their constant refusal.“Now’s not the time, Melanie.” Hudson’s expression hardened, but he barely looked up from the map he was studying. “We’re busy.”Melanie continued approaching them with the same sultry smile on her face. She stopped right in front of Brixton who was reading some reports before she untied the waistband of her nightgown, letting it fall down her body and exposing her beautiful figure that was barely covered by the lingerie she was wearing.“Don’t you want this?” She moved closer, trying to touch Brixton’s chest as she whispered seductively on his ears. “You’ve been busy all these days. You can have me all you want tonight…”But before she could touch Brixton, he immediately grabbed her wrist and whisked her away, irritation flashing in his
LEAH’S POVToo many thoughts kept bugging my mind. I didn’t have a good sleep last night, making the corners of my eyes stung with soreness due to lack of sleep.The next morning, Felix came early in the room to check on Bella. I watched him gently examine her, his hands moving with practiced ease as he checked her vitals and reviewed the latest test results.“She’s doing much better now.” He turned to me after he finished the check-up, speaking in a clam and reassuring tone. “Her vitals are stable and there’s no sign of any lingering issues. Just let her take the vitamins I’ll prescribe and ensure a healthy diet for her.”A sigh of relief escaped my lips as I nodded my head at him. “Thank you.”The tension from last night still lingered in the air, especially after my encounter with Hudson and Brixton. I was trying to shake off the uneasiness and awkwardness I was feeling, especially in front of Felix.Yesterday, he also saw and met Hudson and Brixton. Though I know Felix has his dou
LEAH’S POV“You should meet them.” Marina sat across from me. We were currently on a break at work, and I invited her to go to the nearest coffee shop near the company’s building.As expected, I knew she would sense my intentions of inviting her for a talk.She already knew about the matter of Hudson and Brixton finding out that the triplets are theirs. A week has passed since the incident, and it was three days ago when Brixton asked if they could meet me and the twins. However, I wasn’t on my proper state during that day… I was still bugged by my own chaotic thoughts, and I wasn’t ready to face them yet, so I refused.But during these past three days, they never stopped sending me messages if when they could finally see me and the triplets.I picked the cup of coffee on the table and took a slight sip on it, trying to soothe my nerves.“I think I’ll do it.” I took a deep breath, putting the cup of coffee down the table before looking at Marina.“They’re just so… persistent.” I said
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
