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 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
LEAHLast night had been magical. Our pack held its annual ball and yesterday was also my 18th birthday. I finally came of age and there, I also finally met my mate. It was Thomas, the future Alpha of our pack.My heart soared with happiness and excitement. Thomas was the dream of every shewolf in our pack. In the past, I didn’t have such wishful thinking to be mated with him. I know that with my status, it was impossible for the two of us.But I think the moon goddess has other plans. I felt giddy all over that I’m starting to think about our future… our life together as the future Luna and Alpha.However, all my hopes came crashing down today. I found Thomas wrapped around Sabrina, the most beautiful girl in our pack, in the garden. They were kissing as I stood still on my spot, feeling my heart breaking into millions of pieces.“I promise, I’ll make you my Luna.” They continued kissing, Thomas’s voice was full of love and passion that tears started to form in my eyes.“Thomas…” I f
LEAHI WOKE UP with ragged breathings. As my eyes scanned the room around, I realized that I was in an unfamiliar room lying in this huge queen-sized bed. But before I could even try to sit up, the pain all over my body came crashing. My bones felt too weak, and my body feels very sore.There was also an excruciating pain on my head. But one thing that made me bawl my eyes wide open was the soreness on the area between my thighs.I gazed at my body that was filled with red marks and bruises all over. My throat tightened as I feel the loud beating of my heart as I felt my world stop.Then my jaw dropped open. My body turned stiff as if I was suddenly poured by cold water all over as the events from last night came crashing back inside my mind.‘Have I done the deed with those two men last night?’I had the urge to slap myself. But then, the evidence can be clearly seen from my body’s current state.There was no trace of other presence in the room, signifying that I’ve been left alone i
LEAHMr. Lim looked someone in his mid-50’s. Though he looked stern and professional at first glance, it turns out that he was very kind and approachable. Yet I still couldn’t shake off the uneasiness I was feeling ever since I’ve arrived here.“Please wait here for a moment, Ms. Knight. Our boss is currently having a conference meeting.” He informed me.“Sure, no problem.” I smiled as I took my seat on the couch.“Would you like some drinks?” He offered.“Just some water, please. Thank you.”After ordering someone to bring some water, Mr. Lim also suddenly left as another employee came asking for him, leaving me alone in the room.It was only then I get to scan the whole room I was in, or should I say, an office. This was the CEO’s office to be precise. At f
LEAH“Thank goodness we’re finally getting a break!” Jenny exaggeratedly let out a sigh as she leaned on her swivel chair. I chuckled at her reaction.It was past four o’clock in the afternoon now and we were having an early dismissal from the company. Compared to the past few months when we had to work overtime as we were aiming to land a partnership with The Finance, things at work now weren’t as hectic as it was before.“We better savor this moment. I heard that hell weeks are coming soon.” Kevin, who was sitting in front of his desk just across Jenny’s suddenly rebutted.“Oh, stop killing the fun.” Jenny glared at him. “We’ll only be having a team building next week. That’s not considered a hell week you know.”“And what’s so fun about those?”“Says the person who hasn’t even participated even once in our team buildings.”Once again, I chuckled at the two’s bickering. There were only three of us inside this room. After becoming one of the persons in charge in our company’s marketi
HUDSONI sat back in my chair, scanning over the files that my assistant had handed me. However, it’s content made my brows furrowed deeper with every page I turned.I’m currently on a meeting with an executive from one of the companies that has tried multiple times to land a partnership with ours. However, seeing their proposal made me think that it was only a waste of time to come here and even allow them the change to negotiate with me.“This is simply impossible.” I said in a firm tone, meeting Mr. Robert’s gaze. He was the executive from Sky Corporations – a man in his late 40’s.“Mr. Alistaire, please reconsider it. We believe it’s a solid plan.”I was starting to grow impatient. I had a reputation for being cautious in my investments, never putting more on the line that I could afford to lose. It was a principle my twin brother, Brixton, and I lived by — a principle that had brought us to where we were now.“Mr. Roberts, I suppose you understand very well that I do not engage i
LEAHMy lips slowly parted open as I look at the familiar figure approaching me from behind. Rays of sunset casted a glow on his face, making his handsome face look gentler than his usual cold and domineering demeanor. But there was something in his eyes that made my heart pound loudly in my chest.“Mr. Alistaire.” My voice came out as a whisper. It even sounded so shaky that I wanted to pinch myself for being so distracted right in front of him.He stopped right in front of me, and I can feel my nerves tingling under his gaze.“There’s no need for formalities,” his eyes remained on my face. “Just call me Hudson.”“Ah, yes…” Avoiding his gaze, I brushed my hand on my other arm, trying to relieve the goosebumps erupting on my skin just after hearing his deep, husky voice.“It’s a coincidence to see you here.”“Indeed, it is.” I laughed a little, though it turned out as an awkward response on my part that I had to purse my lips after out of embarrassment.Silence enveloped us. Only the
