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 POVI stared at his quickly sent reply with a complicated look on my face. But before I could even type another message, my eyes widened when I saw him suddenly calling me.My hands holding the phone slightly trembled. But I shook my head, trying to regain my composure.I cleared my throat, before finally answering.“Sorry for the sudden call.” Brixton’s deep and husky voice rang on the other end of the line, making my heart race even faster.“I was… we were just so happy about it.” It was odd how I could seem to hear his smiling voice at this moment. I didn’t even know how to respond. I felt tongue tied as soon as I heard his voice.“Did I… bother you?”I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts and stopping myself from getting distracted before I finally spoke.“No.” It was all I could manage to say, still feeling perplexed at the sudden call.There was a silence at the other end of the line before I heard some rustling noises. I blinked my eye, but then I heard another voic
LEAH’S POV“Uncle Hudson! Uncle Brixton!”The kids’ excited voices rang out through the area as they called out to them, running towards them with bright smiles on their faces.Hudson and Brixton also started walking towards us, both have gentle smiles on their faces at the sight of the triplets. Once both Calvin and Clyde reached them, they quickly ruffled the two boys’ hair, and I couldn’t help but notice the affection radiating from their every gesture.I slightly tightened my hold on Bella’s little hand as I felt her wanting to rush towards them too.“Be careful, sweetheart.” I murmured softly, gently reminding her not to run off.We all came to a stop in front of Hudson and Brixton. My heart race even faster now that I was already facing them – and the kids too. I tried my best to act normal, but the complicates emotions swirling inside me were hard to ignore.I raised my head and suddenly met Hudson’s gaze. I was slightly taken back when I noticed a glint in his eyes which I cou
