The gentle breeze from the lake caressed Ailee's face as she looked at her small house that stood quietly at the edge of the forest. The house was simple, yet it had been a safe haven for her and her three children for the past few years. The fresh scent of the forest mixed with the moisture of the lake always made her feel at ease, but today, that relief was still overshadowed by worry.

"Mommy, when can we go to the orphanage again?" Lucille's cheerful voice broke Ailee's reverie. The little girl looked at her mother with sparkling eyes, the typical expression of a curious five-year-old.

"Yes, Mommy! It's really fun there! I like playing with Dario," Loudy continued enthusiastically, her hand grasping Ailee's arm tightly.

"I also want to stay again, Mommy!" Lowly added in a low voice but no less enthusiastic than her two twin sisters.

Ailee smiled gently, though her heart was still a little heavy remembering last night. "That's fine, but you have to promise Mother. Don't play far awa

    The large room was filled with dark wood ornaments and antique furniture that reflected the glory of the Reynard clan. The air inside was chilly, even though the morning sun was shining brightly outside. At one corner of the long table, Aaron sat with his body erect, his stern face looking emotionless. Although he was known as a dominant and authoritative Alpha, this time the situation was different. In front of him sat Mr. Reynard, his father, a man with a large build and piercing eyes that could subdue anyone with just a look.Mr. Reynard poured himself a cup of tea, then leaned back in the chair with a gesture of authority. "You've missed quite a bit of time, Aaron. Five years of marriage, and you still have no children," he said, his voice heavy and stressed.Aaron didn't answer directly. He just stared at the cup in his hand, swirling a bit of barely touched tea."I did not force you to marry Tifanny just to be a ceremonial couple," Mr. Reynard continued. "I wanted a successor. A

    That night, Aaron Alison Louvin's mansion was shrouded in silence. Only the faint sound of servants' steps could be heard downstairs. In the dining room, Tifanny sat at the long table, waiting with a flat expression but her eyes showing hidden emotions.The main door opened, and Aaron's heavy steps could be heard approaching. The man entered the dining room with a domineering cold aura, his face expressionless yet full of authority. He took his place at the end of the table, not saying a word."How was your meeting with your father?" Tifanny finally asked, her voice sounding flat yet firm.Aaron did not answer immediately. He took the glass of water that the waiter had prepared, sipping it slowly while turning his eyes to the corner of the room. Tifanny tapped her finger on the table, annoyed with Aaron's usual attitude, showing no interest in explaining anything."I'm talking to you, Aaron," Tifanny insisted, her tone rising."What do you want to hear?" Aaron finally opened his mouth

    That morning, Aland Rexton sat in his spacious living room, his fingers tapping on the wooden table in an erratic rhythm. Thoughts of Ailee continued to haunt his mind. It had been a week since their meeting in the city center, but the feelings he had been suppressing were rekindled. He knew that if he didn't act now, he might never be able to forgive himself. His gaze falls on the cell phone on the table. He stares at the number of Hana, his manager, as if he is holding something. After finishing his cup of cold morning coffee, Aland finally pressed the speed dial button. He calls Hana, his long-time manager. "Hana," he said when she answered in a formal tone, "I need a favor." "What is it, Aland?" Hana sounded wary. "I need you to contact Sunny," Aland said directly. "Didn't you say you were friends?" Hana was silent for a moment. "Yes, we've worked together a few times. But why do you want me to contact her? Is it about work?" "No," Aland replied quietly, his voice lowered. "F

    As previously planned, Aaron intended to come to the orphanage and ask Edric to postpone his entire schedule for the day. However, he unexpectedly met Aland there instead."Who are you looking for?" Aaron asked with a sharp gaze."It's none of your business" Aland answered Aaron's question, he tried to remain calm even though he felt tremendous pressure from the man in front of him.Aaron smiled a little, but there was no warmth in that smile. "Everything that happens here is my business," he said in an intimidating tone.Aland felt his chest tighten, but he didn't want to back down. "That sounds ridiculous," he said finally.But that didn't change Aaron's expression one bit. Although Aland didn't say it directly, but Aaron's hunch was very strong, the man must have come with the same purpose as him; looking for Ailee.Aaron approached, and the sound of his footsteps on the ground sounded heavy and intimidating. "I suggest you stop playing around. I don't have much patience for nonsen

  • My Possessive Alpha | Between Two Loves   Chapter 32. Fear Behind the Twilight

    Dusk began to fall by the lake. The small wooden house where Ailee was hiding looked peaceful from the outside, but inside, the owner's mood was far from calm. Ailee was busy in the kitchen preparing a simple dinner while occasionally glancing at the triplets playing happily in the living room.After last night's incident at the orphanage, she felt a little relieved to be back home, but fear still gripped her heart. She had installed the CCTVs given to her by Mrs. Lyana in several corners of the house, but she knew it wouldn't be enough if Aaron really came looking for her.While Ailee was still deep in thought, a knock on the front door startled her. The triplets turned their heads in unison, then resumed their game."Mommy, who is it?" one of them asked in an innocent voice.Ailee wiped her wet hands with a cloth before answering. "Mommy will see. You guys stay here, okay?"She walked to the door carefully, opening the door just a little to make sure who was coming. Mrs. Lyana's fac

    The morning sun broke through the large curtains in the dining room of Aaron and Tifanny's residence. The smell of fresh coffee and toast filled the air, but the usual cold atmosphere surrounding the house remained unchanged. Tifanny sat quietly in a chair, sipping coffee as she stared at her phone screen. Her expression was calm, but her mind was in turmoil.For the past few days, she had begun to smell something strange from Aaron. The man left the house more often with the excuse of work or sudden meetings. Although Aaron was a man known for being very busy, there was something different this time - like he was on a secret mission."Zoe Ailee," Tifanny muttered softly, remembering the name. She knew the name had something to do with Aaron's past, but how deep the connection was, she couldn't be sure.She realized that Aaron would never speak honestly to her. Instead, Tifanny relied on the spies she secretly hired to dig up information. She felt this was the only way to find out the

    That morning, as usual, Ailee woke up early. The air around the lake was fresh, a light dew still on the grass. She walked into the kitchen, preparing a simple breakfast for herself and her three children-Loudy, Lowly, and Lucille. The aroma of toast filled the small room, blending with the sound of birds chirping in the background of their daily lives.The three children sat at the dining table enthusiastically, as usual. Lucille, the most cheerful among them, started the conversation."Mama, are we going to the forest again today?"Ailee smiled, though her heart was a little wary. The forest was her children's favorite place, but she never let them go unsupervised."You can, but later, when Mama's work is done. You should also stay close to home. Don't go too far," she said gently.The three of them nodded in unison. Loudy, who always felt she was more mature, added, "We promise, Ma. We'll take care of each other."Ailee looked at them with mixed feelings. The fear that had haunted

    That morning, the sun shone gently on the small lake near Ailee's house. It was peaceful, just like any other morning, but to Loudy, things were different. She sat quietly by the lake, her eyes watching her two younger siblings splashing around on the shore.Lucille looked cheerful, laughing as she rolled up her trousers, playing carefree. Lowly, on the other hand, was silent. His face showed the anxiety that had not disappeared since the night before. The image of the little wolf attacking Berry continued to haunt him.He tried to recall the incident. Lucille's form that turned into a small wolf, the low growling sound, and how the white sheep suddenly lay lifeless. Everything was so real. Lowly wanted to think it was just a nightmare, but every detail was so clear in his mind.As Lucille turned to him, the wide smile on her face looked so sweet and innocent. However, instead of returning the smile, Lowly hurriedly turned his gaze to the surface of the lake."Lowly, what's wrong with

    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
