YVONNE —"No one did. I heard you guys discussing it," Liam chipped in.My jaw dropped, and I stared at him in shock."You... you heard us!" I stuttered. "Which means you were eavesdropping during our conversation?" I added, panicking. It has dawned on me that all the lies I was feeding them make no sense now since they already knew I had a bad discussion with their friend, Alpha Conan. The facts are clear now; I was not on good terms with Alpha Conan.I sighed heavily, gulped hard, and drew closer to him. "Why would you do that, Liam?" I asked, confused about what to do. I had always told them not to poke into adult discussions; little did I know Liam would even go to the extreme of walking from the Alpha's chamber to eavesdrop on my conversation with Conan."Mommy, I'm sorry," he pleaded, and he started sobbing out of fear."What did I tell you about respecting people's privacy?" I said, clenching my jaw, thinking of
CONAN —I was in my room in the evening, thinking of what was going on with Yvonne and how she suddenly changed for the worse after Sophia's visitation."Why would she make such comments to me and even go as far as coming to my chamber to drag her children away from me? What is all this?" I muttered, biting my fingertips as I was lost in thought, thinking of how to resolve the issue."The worst is that it's usually when things start getting good between us that she suddenly turns worse." I sighed, clenching my jaw."Why always me? What other tricks should I use to get her attention?" I wondered, paused, and went into thought.After a few seconds of deep thinking, I sighed. "No, this is not ordinary," I remarked. "Sophia needs to be erased because, definitely, she must be the cause of this issue. Yes, she is. Why is it that after she visited Yvonne for a so-called apology, everything worsened between me and Yvonne instead of making things
YVONNE —The crawling sound of the cock was enough reason for me to know it was already morning.I lit up the light and realized it was already 5:45 a.m., and I quickly climbed down from the bed.I did my morning exercise for fitness and set out for the kitchen to prepare breakfast for my kids before preparing for work. It has been a long time since I visited my patients—almost a week now—and this was because of the Alpha's family issue. However, I decided to also visit the laboratory to conclude the lab test that I left pending.It was exactly 6:35 a.m. when I was done with the preparation of breakfast and set for the restroom to take a bath so I could dress up for today's activities.After changing my clothes to tie my towel for the shower, I discovered that Liam had already woken up."Uncle, buy me some toys when you come back," he murmured.I sighed upon hearing that. He was still half asleep; hence, he was talking t
CONAN —If anyone had told me that I would still be opportuned to spend some time with Yvonne's triplets, I would not have believed it. These kids literally sneaked out to look for me."Amelia, you could have listened to your mom, at least," I said."Had something happened to you before I could see you here? How do you think your mom would feel?""She will feel bad, Uncle Conan," Kiara remarked."Exactly. She will be hurt. As much as I was not happy about her decision to keep you all away from me, you should listen to her, okay? She must have her reasons for saying that," I declared, and they nodded."Now you should go back to your apartment before she comes back," I instructed, but they resisted."Uncle, we are already bored of staying in the guest quarter alone, let's spend some little time with you. She would not catch us," Liam remarked, and his two sisters nodded in support."Really?" I responded, and they nodded in unison.I chuckled as they remarked."That would make things wor
YVONNE —Upon arriving at Skylarks Hospital, I noticed that a reputable person had been admitted to the hospital due to the car collections parked in the parking lots of the hospital."This car looks familiar," I muttered upon sighting a black Mercedes-Benz spot car parked among the cars, but I quickly waved off the thought because I knew many people could own one specific type of car.Immediately, the managing director of the hospital came out to welcome me."Good morning, doctor Yvonne. I'm so glad you heard and attended to our request," he remarked."Thank you, sir," I replied, letting out a smile. "My priorities are always about saving lives. Hence, I did not snub or delay," I snapped."Thank you so much once more. Had society been filled with many people of your type, we could not have been where we are today. There would be great development in the land of shapeshifters," he said, leading me in.Upon hearing his la
SOPHIA —I had been crying non-stop since last night when I was admitted here over my present situation. Although I had been confronted several times by the staff of the hospital, mainly the nurses, and they impacted me with some words of encouragement, yet, it changed nothing.At first, I would stop crying, but deep down in my heart, I was seriously grieving. And as time goes on, I will resume sobbing again.However, since the whole incident was happening, right from yesterday when the main incident occurred, I have been avoiding the news reaching my father because I know what he is capable of doing once he hears it. Of course, Andy's situation would not be so good to write home about.Meanwhile, Andy has yet to be seen in the hospital since yesterday until this moment. It was even my protocol manager, Rick, who rescued me upon hearing my groan.Apparently, Andy was still busy enjoying himself at one of the expensive hotels in
YVONNE — Upon walking out of the MD's office, I could not really explain how relieved and happy I was because of how I tackled the question he asked me. To be honest, I never knew I could summon the courage to tell him plainly that I had nothing to do with Alpha Conan except that I had a medical job I was hired to do in his pack.And the most enjoyable part of it was how professional the MD was. Although he was surprised upon noticing Alpha Conan's resemblance to Liam's face, he did not go further to inquire about my marital status."This could never be Alpha Conan. He would question you until you revealed the secret," I mumbled inwardly.I made my way to the private sector, which is where the MD directed me to keep my kids till I was done with my task in the hospital for the day. He even insinuated that I could be coming with them any day I would have to visit.Just as we were a few inches away from the room, Liam instantly fled from my
CONAN —Walking out of the hospital was like someone walking out of an audition he contested and lost to me.I can't believe the level of humiliation I faced from Yvonne—the way she first snatched her kids away from me upon my arrival and scolded me without even caring to know what really prompted me to visit the hospital with her kids.I sighed, gulped, and heaved my head in pain. "All this was only because I have no kids of my own. Had it been I had, Yvonne would not be doing this; she would be privileged to see me playing or talking with her kids, even," I mumbled to myself, walking toward the car.The most annoying part was that even after Liam ran to me as Yvonne led them out of the office, heading to where I don't know, she went ahead to snatch him out of me in the presence of the crowd.As I walked to the car, Enzo was quick to open the door, and I entered. He ran to the driver's side and entered, then we stormed off from the hospi
Two Months Later SOPHIA — I was lying helplessly today on the corner of the gutter when a car ran across me, splashing me with dirty water from the potholes as usual. To my greatest surprise, the car halted and the driver alighted. It was a lady. I thought she was coming to scold me for not avoiding her car at first, but I was shocked to my bone marrow as I noticed it was Yvonne. "Oh my goodness! Sophia, is this you?" she screamed as she noticed I'm the person. She must be really happy. Tears streamed down my cheeks immediately because I concluded that she would make a joke of me, but the reverse was the case. She ran to me and helped me get up. "Yvonne, I'm really sorry for everything I have made you pass through in life," I apologized, crying. "It's okay, Sophia. That is not necessary right now. You need proper medical attention first. That is the most important thing," she said, opening the back door of the car for me to enter. "Get in the car so we can leave for the hospita
YVONNE —Three days later, the DNA result was finally out, and I was really happy about it. This was because it proved positive. Conan is actually the father of the kid—he is the father of all my kids. This means I will be going back to the pack. At least he could see his baby for the first time.Although I had agreed with Mr. Thomas on his request to go back to Conan, but I am still sceptical about it.I was still in my room robbing some body cream and powder on my baby when Amanda walked in."You are still worried about this. I thought he made a promise to you about your career. Didn't he?" Amanda asked me as she walked.It seems she had been eavesdropping from the door for a long time before she walked. Of course, for her to notice I was worried, she must have heard the disturbing murmuring I had been having with myself here for almost thirty minutes."Not really, dear. I was just having a debate over something that had... ""A debate?""Whatever, Amanda. Please just let me be. By
YVONNE —"Alright, Mommy, but remember your promise," Kiara stated, and they started leaving reluctantly.As soon as they left, I let out a deep sigh of relief. I could not believe that I had just managed to avoid the question Kiara asked without them suspecting I did not want to answer the question."By the time you would be back, I believe Amanda would be at home, so she could continue with you guys. It is only if you guys see me by then that you will be requesting an answer concerning Kiara's question," I mumbled.I picked up my phone and dialed Dr. Naty's phone number. I need to call her and inquire about our deal because she has yet to call me.As I dialed the number, the phone rang for a few seconds, and it ended without being picked up by someone."Maybe she is still busy with work in the hospital," I mumbled, dropping my phone.I went to the kitchen to get lunch ready for my kids because I did not know exactly when Amanda would be back for me to depend on her to prepare lunch
YVONNE —One Week LaterI was just returning from the hospital, and the thought of my discussion with Mr. Thomas kept flashing through my mind as I was driving.I could not believe that I had just agreed to his request. Only if he knew that I did that out of pressure."Well, the DNA test will conclude," I muttered.I had managed to reach out to Sophia and requested that she get me Dr. Naty's contact information after she objected to doing the task, saying that she is avoiding Conan because he would kill her upon seeing her. It was then that I told her to get me Dr. Naty's phone number so she could do the job for me.At first, Dr. Naty argued about doing the job, but when I told her the reward for the project, she quickly hopped on it.She told me the job would take her a week because of the procedures she was to follow, so Conan would not suspect anything wrong.However, it has been one week since I gave her the job, so I am waiting for her feedback today."I hope this works out well
YVONNE —But how am I going to do that when none of the two men are with me here in New York City?I thought for some time but could not come up with a valid idea."No. I need to do something fast," I muttered and stood up to leave for my room.As I walked into my room, I remembered that I had spoken with Sophia a few days ago. I recalled how I ended the call with her, promising to call her back only not to call as I said."I think she is the person who can work this out for me since she is in the pack. Yes, she is cunning and could do all sorts of dirty jobs," I mumbled. I picked up my phone to dial her number, and immediately, I realized that she told me she did not have a phone anymore. She only called me that day through a call agent.I decided to secretly get the blood samples of Conan and his hair to do the DNA test in the city without going to the pack just so I could be sure he is truly the father of my baby."So how do I reach this girl, for goodness sake?" I wondered.A few
YVONNE —"Girl, I could not even believe you did this to me in the office," I said to Amanda as I walked out to the sitting room, where she was busy watching movies."I'm really sorry, dear. For real, I can't believe I did that. It was as if a spell was cast on me. I could not even raise my gaze anymore until the moment he asked for my contact," she stated."Oh, you both exchanged phone numbers as well?" I asked, chuckling.I never even knew all that happened in the office. It was the moment I left for my office to get Mr. Thomas what he requested I should get him that they did that. I had thought he really needed those files, unaware that he was just trying to send me out of the office to excuse them just so they could have their moment."Maybe that was the reason you insisted on going with me just so you could perch yourself on him," I remarked, feeling infuriated. How could she do that to me? How could she stoop so low just for a man?
SOPHIA —I could not tell exactly what was wrong with me. The past two days have been hectic for me because I have been sick. I could not afford to go to any medical centre, though, because I had no money with me.The last money I had was the one I used to call Yvonne yesterday, but she refused to speak with me, forcing me to end the call with a promise to call back, but since yesterday until now, she has not called back.I visited the call centre yesterday at exactly five o'clock, which I told her, and I waited till eight o'clock in the evening, yet the call centre agent did not receive a call from Yvonne.I lay on the floor, inside the bush, crying. This was the only place I could stay during the day because there was no shelter I had other than the kiosk where I sleep at night. However, during the day, it is always in service to the owner because that is a coffee shop.Meanwhile, today was the day I had promised both Alpha Conan and the Lycan king to get Yvonne for them. However, I
YVONNE — As we were walking to the elevator, which would take us through the last floor where Mr. Thomas' office is located, my pulse began racing faster. I waved at my colleagues, who were greeting me. Some were excited to see me again after one month of being absent from work. "Dr. Yvonne, welcome back!" one of them remarked, waving her hand at me with her face filled with joy. "Thank you, dear. Unfortunately, I have not resumed work. I still have one more week to go," I replied, walking to her and giving her a warm embrace. She was among the people who made me wish not to ever leave this hospital due to how nice she had been to me. A few minutes later, we managed to walk out of the hall where the staff were, and we headed to the place where the elevators were. "I hope I have the confidence to say what I think is best for me inside his office," I muttered. We entered the elevator, ascending to the last floor. Amanda turned her gaze on me with a smile. "Now I know the reason yo
YVONNE — "Yvonne, are you not yet ready?" Amanda's voice sounded from the sitting room. "A few minutes, please. I'm almost done," I responded, hurrying to apply body cream to my body. Today was finally the long-awaited day on which I had agreed to meet with Mr. Thomas and give him feedback on what I had concluded. However, Amanda had requested to escort me just in case it got to a point where I could not defend my opinion and freely say what I had concluded, then agree to what would not sit well with me out of pressure. A few minutes later, I was finally done dressing. I stared at myself in the wall mirror in my room, and behold, I was satisfied with the way I looked. A smile of satisfaction crept onto my lips. I picked up my baby, carried him in the baby carrier, and walked out of the room, heading to the sitting room to meet Amanda. "How do I look?" I asked her as I walked out. "Absolutely stunning!" she yelled, and I blushed a little. "Well, let's get going. It's al
