That morning, Ailee stood in the kitchen of their lakeside log house, looking out the window while holding a spatula. The pancakes on the griddle were beginning to release a sweet aroma, but her mind was far from the food she was cooking. In the dining room, she could hear the cheerful laughter of Loudy, Lowly, and Lucille, her three twins who always seemed energized, even though it was very early in the morning.

However, their laughter was unable to dispel the worry that gripped Ailee. Last night's incident was still fresh in her mind, when her youngest-Lucille-had gone missing in the forest near the house. The image of Lucille's pale face amidst the dark trees was still vivid in her mind. When she found her, her body was shaking violently, and Ailee was almost certain that her daughter would turn into a wolf, just as Loudy had. She could not ignore the fact that her children were different. Ailee was sure there was nothing wrong with her, but she didn't know about Aaron's blood flow

    The sky had just turned gray, but the calmness of the morning did not feel the same to Ailee. She didn't expect her children to disappear while she was preparing breakfast, she had searched all over the place; the yard, the edge of the forest that stretched behind, even to the small lake in front of their house, but her three twins-Loudy, Lowly, and Lucille-were nowhere to be seen.With her breath catching and cold sweat pouring down her face, Ailee stepped back, standing in the middle of the quiet yard. Her fingers clenched tightly at her sides, trying to hold back the tremors in her hands. The eyes that had been sparkling that morning now slowly glazed over, imagining all the possibilities that could happen to her children."Loudy! Lowly! Lucille!" Ailee's voice broke the silence, echoing throughout the yard, flowing through the trees and through the forest.But there was only silence. Even the morning breeze seemed to laugh at her fears, exacerbating her anxiety. Her face was pale,

    The Ardolph Corp office was silent as Edric approached Aaron's desk, his face serious, without a trace of a smile. He paused in front of the Alpha's desk, then gave Aaron a meaningful look."Mr. Aaron, I found traces of Miss Zoe Ailee," he reported in a calm yet firm voice.Aaron, who was examining the documents in his hands, stopped what he was doing and looked up at Edric. His eyes were sharp, but the look on his face seemed to change little by little. Yes, after last night he assigned Edric to find out what happened, he finally came to fruition, his hunch last night was not wrong, something must have happened."Can you confirm?" he asked briefly, his tone cold, cautious.Edric nodded. "Miss Zoe activated her old cell phone after a long time. I tracked her signal, and her current position is in the city center."Aaron was silent for a moment, taking a deep breath. His face turned into an unreadable mask, but in his eyes was a spark of emotion that was difficult to hide. Without sayi

    Ailee did not expect those words to come out of the mouth of an Aaron Alison Louvin, Ailee remembered their less than pleasant first meeting, she also remembered their quite complicated relationship.Honestly, Ailee had not lost all her feelings for Aaron, their last meeting at Aaron's villa instilled quite strong feelings for Ailee. But, Ailee didn't know, 5 years of not seeing each other could change Aaron like this, the cold man was now speaking softly to her.But no, Ailee had something she prioritized more; her children, more than that, Ailee didn't want to ruin someone's household, no matter what Aaron said about her political marriage, no matter that she still had feelings for that man, Ailee knew, she also didn't want someone to ruin her family bond, for her living with the triplets was more than enough.Ailee averted her gaze, trying to avoid Aaron's demanding gaze. But the man's gaze was too intense, too deep, and seemed to bring Ailee back to the times when she and Aaron ha

    Ailee looked down, staring at Aaron's hand that grasped her fingers so tightly. Behind that grip, she felt the warmth that once made her feel safe. But now, that warmth only made her feel bound, making her feel that she didn't have the freedom she had been fighting for the past five years."It's not about leaving everything behind, Aaron," she said in a more stern tone. "It's about the reality we live in now. You don't know... there are things you can't imagine, things that... that should stay this way."Aaron was silent, but from the look in his eyes, Ailee knew that he wasn't going to just give up.The tension grew thicker, filling the narrow space with an almost unbearable weight. Ailee knew that if she didn't act soon, Aaron would be even harder to let go of. She had to go, leave this man and all their memories behind, no matter how difficult it was.After taking a deep breath, Ailee tried to shift her gaze out the window, looking for ways to devise an escape plan.

    Ailee caught her breath after running away from Aaron. She walked quickly towards the orphanage where her children were, letting the image of Aaron slowly fade in her mind. Fear and relief mixed together in her-fear that Aaron might keep looking for her, and relief that at least she managed to get away from him for a while.As she arrived in front of the orphanage, her previously restless heart gradually subsided. Mrs. Lyana's orphanage was like a second home to Ailee. Over the past five years, this place had become an integral part of her life.Ailee entered the courtyard of the orphanage and immediately her eyes caught the sight that always warmed her heart: her three twins, Loudy, Lowly, and Lucille, were playing happily with their friends. They were laughing, running around, and forming a small circle while laughing together."Loudy, Lowly, Lucille..." murmured Ailee with affection.The three of them were so similar to Aaron-dark hair, eyes as sharp as weasels that shone with joy,

    Aaron sat in the black leather chair in his spacious office, looking at the stack of files on his desk with a blank stare. The piles of documents that usually filled his day and kept him busy seemed meaningless today. Ever since his meeting with Ailee in the city some time ago, his thoughts never left her. In his heart, he knew that he couldn't just let her go, even after five years had passed.Edric knocked on the door and entered the room, carrying a new, important-looking file. "This is the report you requested, Mr. Aaron," Edric said as he handed over the file.Aaron took it quickly, opening the first page with an enthusiasm that was hard to hide. His eyes immediately fell on the photo and identity of the man who was now the target of his curiosity: Aland Rexton.The file listed some important information: 29 years old, former artist of Gloss Entertainment agency, now under Kingdom Entertainment. This name is no stranger to showbiz, especially with his impressive track record. Ala

    In a corner of the orphanage's simple room, Ailee sat looking at the serene faces of the triplets who had just fallen asleep. Loudy, Lowly, and Lucille were already lying on their respective beds, and the sound of their rhythmic breathing brought a little peace to Ailee's heart. Those three children were the center of her life now, the miracle that kept her strong, even when she had to avoid and live in the shadows for years.Sunny, her best friend and former manager, had returned to her apartment moments ago. She knew that her every move might trigger the suspicions of Aaron's people, who probably wouldn't stop looking for Ailee. They agreed that Sunny shouldn't linger at the orphanage, to avoid that risk. Leaving Sunny behind did make Ailee's heart ache a little, but she knew that it was the best option for now.With slow steps, Ailee left the twins' room, closed the door carefully, and walked towards the living room, where Mrs. Lyana was sitting quietly, reading an old book.Mrs. L

    The night was already creeping into silence, a chill infiltrating the air through the crack in the window of the small room occupied by the triplets. The dim nightlight illuminated their tiny faces, but a sudden low whimpering sound shattered the silence. Loudy, Lowly, and Lucille, all three had woken up looking sleepy and confused."Mama..." whined Lucille softly, rubbing her eyes. "We want to stay here. We like it here."Ailee, who was also awake since hearing their voices, could only take a deep breath. She sat on the edge of their bed, trying to understand the twins' request without letting her worry show on her face. Ailee realized that at the age of five, Loudy, Lowly, and Lucille did not yet understand everything that was happening. They were just kids who wanted to play, wanted to have friends, and be comfortable in their own little world."It's so exciting here, Mama..." Lowly whispered with her eyes still half-closed."We have new friends, Mama. Why should we leave?" continu

    The afternoon approached slowly, and Aaron still hadn't returned. Ailee began to feel uneasy, but she tried to distract her mind with other things. After making sure her children were okay, she picked up her newly charged cell phone and immediately dialed Mrs. Lyana."Hello, Ailee?!" Mrs. Lyana's panicked voice rang out as soon as the call was connected. "Where have you been? I was so worried! I've been trying to reach you since last night!"Ailee smiled faintly, feeling a little guilty for worrying the woman. "Sorry, my cell phone has been dead since yesterday. I can only call you now. The kids are already with me, they're fine."On the other side of the phone, Mrs. Lyana breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness... I almost thought something bad happened to you guys. Where are you now? Are you safe?"Ailee glanced around the house, seeing Lowly and Lucille playing in the living room while Loudy was still resting. Mrs. Lia was in the kitchen, busy with her own business. "We're in a

    Aaron knew that even if Madame Lia didn't like Ailee, she wouldn't leave her children stranded. That was enough to put him at ease a little.Aaron stood up, then walked towards his children. "I have to leave for a while. But I'll be back."Loudy just nodded slowly.Lowly didn't seem too concerned as he was still busy with his food.Lucille, however, looked at Aaron with sharp eyes. "You'll be back?"Aaron looked at her deeply. "Yes."Lucille looked like she wanted to say something, but she just kept quiet and looked down again.Aaron glanced at Ailee. "Take care of them."Ailee nodded. "Be careful."Without another word, Aaron turned and walked out of the house.His departure left a more awkward atmosphere at the dining table.Mrs. Lia finally opened her voice. "You guys can stay here until he returns."Her tone was not warm, but it was quite clear that she was not going to kick them out.Ailee nodded. "Thank you."Madame Lia did not reply. She simply picked up her cup again and sippe

  • My Possessive Alpha | Between Two Loves   Chapter 59. Tough Questions

    Silence fell over the room after Lucille's question. Aaron remained silent, didn't answer right away, and his expression was hard to guess. It was as if the question was too heavy to simply answer with simple words.Ailee realized this situation. She knew Aaron wasn't entirely at fault, Ailee also felt she had a hand in keeping her children away from the outside world, beyond the fact that she wanted to hide her children from Aaron and about her children not being ordinary children. Ailee also knew that Lucille, although still young, was smart enough to understand if someone was lying or avoiding questions.So, before things got any more awkward, Ailee quickly diverted attention."Loudy, dear," she said gently, "how are you feeling now? Does your shoulder still hurt?"Loudy took her eyes off Aaron and looked at her mother. She blinked a few times before answering, "It still hurts... but not like before."Ailee smiled slightly, trying to calm her son. "That's because Madam Lia removed

  • My Possessive Alpha | Between Two Loves   Chapter 58. Why are You Coming Now?

    Lucille was still confused. Her head, which had been heavy with fever, was now lighter, but her mind was full of questions that she couldn't understand.Since childhood, she, Loudy and Lowly had always been with their mother. They lived in a house near the lake, away from people, and were not allowed to meet anyone other than certain people allowed by Ailee. He had never thought that there was anything wrong with that-until now.As she recalled the events that had just happened, her heart ached a little. The people who kidnapped them had named the man-the man now standing nearby-as their father.Lucille stared at Aaron wordlessly for a while. She tried to remember the first time she saw this man. There was something vague in her memory, but she was sure she had seen him before.Then, slowly, she remembered.She had seen this man at Madame Lyana's orphanage. Back then, she had only glimpsed his figure, standing outside the fence. She didn't know who he was, but at that time she felt th

    Ailee sat on the chair beside the bed, her fingers continuing to clasp the small hand of Loudy who was still asleep. The boy's breathing sounded regular, but his face was still pale. Occasionally, Ailee gently stroked her son's hair, trying to calm herself down.In the corner of the room, Lowly was also still asleep. Edric sat beside him, watching with a vigilant gaze. Although his face remained calm, Ailee knew that Aaron's Beta was just as worried.Meanwhile, Lucille was lying on the sofa with her face slightly flushed from her fever. Mrs. Lia Lauvin had given her a febrifuge, and now the child was getting restless in her sleep.Ailee wanted to stay here, wanted to make sure that her children were okay, but something was bothering her-Aaron and Madame Lia were talking in the other room, and Ailee could feel the tension between them, even from afar.***In a smaller room in the house, Aaron stood tall, looking at Mrs. Lia Lauvin with a cold expression. The middle-aged woman sat in he

    "But you didn't think I came unprepared, did you?"Suddenly, there was the sound of movement from outside the room. Within seconds, more of Daran Cam's men entered, surrounding them. The number had almost doubled from before.Ailee bit her lip. The situation was getting dangerous."Aaron," she whispered.Aaron glanced back at her, then refocused on Daran. "If you want war, I'm ready," he said coldly.Daran smiled, but his gaze was filled with menace. "I'm sure you're ready, but what about them?"He glanced at the triplets.Aaron clenched his fists. He knew Daran Cam was trying to provoke his emotions, but this time it was his children's lives at stake.Aaron stood tall, his body tense as his primal instincts kicked in. He could feel the vibrations of the wolf inside him, churning in impatience.Then, something hit him like a hurricane-a pain that didn't come from himself.Blood. Wounds.One of his children was hurt.Aaron blinked, his jaw hardening as he felt the bond of blood that ex

    A few moments ago before Ailee and Aaron's arrival ....Loudy didn't understand what had just happened. Her chest was rising and falling rapidly, her small body felt hot and her head felt heavy. Every nerve in her body was burning, her muscles were tense and something inside her seemed to be trying to get out.He felt... angry.Lucille and Lowly were still wide-eyed staring at her, unable to believe what they were seeing. Loudy's body was no longer the small human body as before.His fur was white, her bright brown eyes flashed with a sharp light, and her fangs protruded from her now-longer snout. Her small claws dug into the wooden floor, leaving scratch marks."Lo... Loudy?" Lucille's voice sounded shaky.Lowly himself was silent, not knowing how to react. Although he remembered that Lucille had once turned into a wolf and there was a possibility that she too could change but still the scene before him was not something familiar to him.Loudy could no longer hear her siblings' voice

    Aaron stared at his cell phone screen, the unknown number still displayed there. Aaron's heart was racing. The blood in his head was boiling. Someone was messing with him. But more than that, this caller knew; he knew that the children were his.Edric, who had just returned from checking the crime scene, the place where the triplets were last seen before disappearing, was already staring at Aaron, while Aaron immediately ordered Edric to start tracking the number of the disconnected call just now. Edric nodded and immediately ordered his men on the phone. Meanwhile, he tried to stay calm and called back the number just now."What do you want?" Without further ado, Aaron immediately asked when the call was reconnected.A chuckle sounded from the other side. "Not something that's hard to guess, Aaron. I just want to make sure you lose everything. Including your flesh and blood."Aaron clenched his fists. "If you dare to touch them...""Of course I dare. As proof, I already did." The man

    The room was dark, illuminated only by the dim light of the flickering chandelier. The triplets sat in the corner, their bodies trembling with both fear and confusion. They knew, except for Lucille, that they were different from other children-they were children with wolf blood. But how could they control that power?"We have to get out of here," Loudy whispered determinedly."But how?" asked Lowly, his eyes wide with fear.Loudy bit her lip, turning to Lucille who sat silently with a pale face. "Lucille... you've turned into a wolf before, right?"Lucille was confused by Loudy's question, but she shook her head quickly. "I... I don't remember. I don't know how to do it."Loudy let out a long breath. "We should try it."The three of them tried to concentrate. They imagined their bodies changing, imagined feathers growing on their skin, gripping the floor with their claws. But nothing happened."I can't!" Lowly whispered frantically.Loudy gritted her teeth. "Try again!"But before the
