LilyThe day after Evan was brought from the hospital, they decided to attended school. I was hesitant to let him go as I am afraid that he might not yet be at his best.But he really wanted to go to school, so I’ve got no other option but to just make sure he’s really fine.I planned on staying at the house to do some chores and just in case his teacher calls me for Evan, I will be able to attend as soon as possible. While Wade was out to somewhere I had no idea.As a knock rang behind the door, I went to attend to it. I wasn’t expecting any visitor today, not even Mandy so I was surprised to know someone’s outside.“Lily, can I talk to you for a minute?” the seriousness of Aiden’s voice immediately made me nod, widely opening the door to let him in.There was no hint of joy on his voice including his face as if he’s here for something serious and important.I lead the way to the dining table as he followed.“It’s about your twin sister, Lauren,” he announced, pulling out a chair on
LilyBut would it make any difference if I by any chance answered that text message? I could have save Lauren from anything that might harm her. But I did not.Am I the one to blame? She left her twin babies with me leaving me no other choice but to stand as their mother.“Lily? Did you hear me? Did Lauren had left anything?” Aiden impatiently asked.I told him everything that I remembered before leaving. But he doesn’t seem to be satisfied with it.“Is that the only message the text was containing? Did you read it through? Or remember the number at least?” Aiden continuously asked, leaving me surprised and in awe.I understand that he wants to find Lauren for me, but the dedication and time he was putting here is undeniably questionable.He seemed to be doing this not for me anymore. I wanted to think he actually knows my twin sister, but I also knew I would only be fooling myself to believe that.“That was the last thing I could remember,” I declared, apologetically looking at him.
LilyAfter making sure Evan and Zoey entered the room, I thought Wade would as well isolate himself inside his room. But I was completely wrong when he stepped into the dining room and leaned by the wall near the table with his hand slid in his pockets.His eyes were carefully watching me with his squinted eyes as if he was trying to read what was going inside my mind.I was confused by his sudden action and was about to ask him what he was doing when the chair beside me made a creaking sound.Aiden stood up from it with his eyes fixed on Wade intently. Meanwhile, Wade’s eyes, which were on me a while ago, were as well as Aiden’s now.They were looking at each other with tension visible on their eyes. Aiden’s hand was clutched into a tight fist while Wade’s eyebrows were furrowed along with his clenching jaw.I felt like they both just holding themselves back and could burst out any second by now. That’s why I held Aiden’s arm just to get his attention. Within a second, he turned back
LilyI could still feel heat burning through my skin remembering the scene a while ago. It’s just ridiculous how I am so affect while Wade doesn’t seem to even bother.I buried my face with my hands as I stomped my feet in embarrassment. I was determined to stay inside our room until I made sure Wade was already gone. And take that time to feed my twin's dinner because Wade usually leaves before dinner.As I don’t want to see him any sooner!Unfortunately, a knock appeared behind the door. Thinking it was Wade, I just wanted to ignore it. But I couldn't let him see how affected I was.Opening the door, I was right that it was him.He was smiling from ear to ear as he put his hand over the door as if it would prevent me from shutting it close anytime soon.“Why? What do you need?” I asked just to end the conversation as soon as possible.Wade chuckled, “Why didn’t you go out of the room?”“Do you need anything or not?” I bluntly repeated my question.“Whoa, calm down. What you saw is j
IrisI did the things I didn’t imagine I could do just for him. I did everything.Everything just for me to be noticed by him. Just for me to believe that I actually deserve someone like Wade. That I will someday get his attention if I do everything.So being engaged with Wade is something I worked hard for. I don’t know what with Lily that Wade loved her too much and can’t even throw his attention to anyone but her. It appears that she poisoned him like a drug Wade coudln’t get enough of.Back then when we were in college, the first time seeing him I already knew Wade was my dream man. I promised myself I’d end up with him even though I knew he had a girlfriend.I tried to do everything just to get his attention, but I always failed as his eyes were always on Lily. She was nothing but a nerd and such an old-fashioned style woman. She is nothing compared to Wade.That’s why when I found out Lily had gone out of nowhere and left Wade alone. I took that chance with him.He was left wo
IrisOne of the things I hate the most is those who waste my time.I fixed my huge sunglasses that almost covered half my face before I pulled out the chair in front of me and lazy sat down with my arms crossed across my chest.“What is this for? Haven’t I made myself clear with my instructions?”“Calm down,” he chuckled, raising both his arms in the air. “I just wanted to meet you of course for money,” he added, shrugging. My eyes squinted. Does he think I’m that stupid to even waste my money with him without having Lily’s twin in my hand? I may be desperate but I still know how to play these games.I scoffed, “Get your work done and you’ll get the money.”“Oh, come on, Iris. You should know I cannot do that alone. I need men to h—”“How many men do you need?” I cut him off.“No, no. I already got the men. I just need money for them to move.” I rolled my eyes, seeing this conversation won’t end without him getting what he wants. Moreover, this man already built his credentials for
EvanAs soon as the school bell rang as an indication that our class had ended for the day, with Zoey’s hand intertwine with mine we rushed out.We are very excited to see Mommy and tell her the high scores we both got for an activity today. We continue to walk further hoping to see her somewhere, however, we didn’t see her waiting for us anywhere nearby.“Where’s Mom?” Zoey asked, wandering her eyes around.And although Mommy’s usually never late in fetching us from school, I got to stay optimistic.“Perhaps she’s just late since it’s a new school and not very near at our house. But don’t worry, Zoey, Mommy will come and fetch us.”Zoey nodded. “We should wait for her by that sched! It’s kind of hot here.”I agreed with her idea and was about to head to the waiting sched when a woman suddenly showed up in front of us.She was wearing a huge black hat and a brown sunglasses which didn’t allow us to see her face.“Hello there, kids,” she sang as she crouched down in front of us. But be
LilyI was supposed to left my workplace fifteen minutes ago, but these two customers who just arrived and were in a rush, so I decided to take their orders before leaving since the restaurant is really filled with a lot of customers right now.But before I could successfully leave, their orders were ready to be served and my other co workers were preoccupied with other customers.I thought that it wouldn’t even take me a minute to just serve their orders that’s why at the end I just served their foods.“Here’s your order, Ma’am,” I politely said, placing the plate down.After successfully giving their orders, with the tray on my hand, I turn around to leave. However, just a second after turning back, I heard them calling me. ‘“Hey! You! Get back here!”Their loud voices, catches the attention of our other customers that made me quickly attend back to their table.“Yes, Ma’am. Is everything all right?” “Are you stupid? How can you serve us foods with bugs on it?!”“What if we didn’t
LilyWade made a point with the investigation he was pushing. Indeed, our Pack was keeping multiple women, the majority of whom were Omegas, in an underground hideout in one of the warehouses.After making sure everyone alive was rescued, including Mandy, Wade had to leave the pack as soon as possible. Delving into its deepest secret will never be acceptable for Alpha James.He will do everything to make Wade pay for what he has done. Our pack suffered huge financial losses after the secret was revealed to the masses.Many members left, but most of them, especially the lower-ranked ones had no other options for them.The hope I had that Lauren would be one of the females rescued instantly vanished. Perhaps it was time for me to accept she would be nowhere to be found anymore.She’s gone for good and the wonderful twins she had left with me were now forever my duty.“Let’s go. We’ve got to move now,” Wade uttered, motioning Evan and Zoey to come to him.My eyes cannot be removed from t
Lily“What?!” I couldn’t hide the shock with my voice. “But why?” My emotions was mixed with anger, frustration, and confusion at the same time.“It would be better.” “No! Everything were going just fine here, Aiden. There is no other reason we will relocate Pack after spending my twins childhood here.”“This will be the best for them, don’t you want tha—”“I decide for what’s best with my twins!”I just couldn’t understand him at all. At first, he didn’t want me to accept the job I got at the Packhouse, and now that we are seem to be getting used without Wade, here he comes suggesting another drastic change. I am just thinking about Evan and Zoey.“The Pack I am talking about is way better than the Moonlight Pack. You can have more opportunities there and—” “I won’t leave this Pack,” I cut him off with finality.“Lily, you gotta think about thi–”“Please leave, Aiden. I have made up my mind and we won’t ever relocate in any other Pack,” I lastly added, turning my back on him as I
WadeKnowing that most of the missing cases happening insdie the Moonlight Pack only involves females, only made me miserably worrying about Lily.I spent the past days investigating further because I cannot wait any longer and wait Lily to be involved or worse went missing.“Don’t you think we are going deeper and getting nonsense investigating this Pack?” “Everything make sense. We just gotta connect them all,” I utter, arranging the thick bunch of papers Matthew had just brought.He was right when he said that our investigations were going deeper because I started considering witch crafts and anything related to magics. At first, I thought the unreasonable poorness of the Moonlight Pack is simply just because someone powerful inside the Pack were robbing them, but after finding out the missing cases, I came to realize it wasn’t just that simple.“There were rumours that the Moonlight Pack was once cursed.” “You said it yourself, Wade. Rumors, there were no tangible proof you can
LilyI planned on visiting the Packhouse today to still convince Aiden into giving me a job inside the Packhouse. Well, although he was giving me money, I couldn’t depend on him my whole life. I need to earn on my own.We are slowly getting back into our normal lives, hence I still felt how sad Evan and Zoey had become after Wade left. I was just hoping Aiden was right that they were just kids and would eventually forget about Wade as time passes by.“It would be better if you work outside the Packhouse, Lily.” “But it would be more convenient if I just have my job nearby our house. I can freely do my duties as a mother and still work. Doesn’t that sound convincing enough for you? I know you can give me a job here, Aiden. You just don’t want to.”“You’re right.”My jaw dropped hearing his response.Although I have an idea he might just not want me to work here. But I only said that because I am out reasons. I couldn’t believe he will actually deprived me of working here.“W-what?!”
WadeAlthough I exactly knew why Alpha James kicked me out of the Moonlight Pack all of a sudden, but I chose not to do anything about it.He told me to leave that night and he wanted me out so bad the next morning.If my speculations were right that after Lily told Aiden what she found out inside my office that bastard for sure informed Alpha James about it. And as a guilty Alpha, he asked me to leave afraid that I might fully discover his darkest secret.Little did he know this is just the beginning of executing my plans. I was halfway there and I won’t let a little inconvenience stopped me from accomplishing this.The hardest part of leaving was to just say good bye to Evan and Zoey, especially to Lily.I thought our misunderstanding before that would make her hate me so she wouldn’t have to get hurt, but I was wrong. Even though she was trying to conceal what she truly feels like she always does, she cannot lie to me by any chance.My plan was to leave the Moonlight Pack peaceful
Lily“I planned on leaving early so the twins won’t have to see me leave. It’s not because I don’ want to say my goodbyes to them, but I think it will actually be harder for me.”I just nodded, agreeing with his idea. I couldn’t as well imagine how Evan and Zoey would react if they found out Wade is leaving. However, I know one thing for sure, they won’t be pleased knowing about it.Even though Wade had given me a heads up that this won’t be his goodbye yet, I just couldn’t force myself to believe it right away because he still leaving anyways.What if he decided not to come back anymore? If that happens, I couldn't do anything but to simply accept it and move on.As if he planned about this, I was kind of surprise to found his things already kept as his every thing on his room was gone. He grabbed his suitcase and pushed it until to the front door that was opened ajar.He walked back to his room and took out a duffel bag this time. He put it on top of his suitcase, bringing his cell
Lily“You’ve just got to believe me, Lily. Trust me on this one.” He held both my hands, squeezing them gently.“Give me a reason to believe you. Tell me what is it going on with our Pack that Aiden could be part of. Tell me and I promise to believe you.” His grip on my hands eventually loosened as he slowly shook his head.“I am yet to prove everything, Lily. I just need more time to gather all the proofs I need–” “Did I even ask for a proof? Why can’t you see it, Wade? I will always believe you, just give me something to believe in. Tell me what is it,” I sobbed, desperately wanted to know what he means.He let out a deep sigh, consuming the remaining space between us. His palms reached and cupped my cheeks while his thumb wiped my tears away.“I can’t tell you about it right now,” he murmured.In frustration, I moved my face away, pushing him away from me.Why does it feel the amount of trust I have in him weren’t reciprocated at all. He doesn’t trust me the way I trust him which
LilyIt took him a several seconds just staring right into my eyes as if he was weighing my expression.“What documents?”I blinked once and a few drops of my tears fall down. It’s funny how he is still trying to save his ass when he is obviously caught red handed.“Are there any more documents you were hiding that you cannot figure out what I have seen?” I bitterly laugh, wiping my tears away.Even though I couldn’t see any reason why I should be crying in the first place, hearing him deny everything right in my face only made me understand how easy it is for him to lie.“I already saw everything, Wade. From the financial records you were keeping down to all of the Pack members of our Pack—” “It’s not what you think it is.”“How could you do this to our Pack when we are already suffering? How much money do you plan stealing, huh? Isn’t your wealth enough for you?!”“I’m not planning on stealing anything!” he yelled just to stop me from spilling further.I was caught off guard after
LilyI forced myself to stood back up with my palm covering both my cheeks.“I’m sorry, but do I know you for you to just slap me twice?” I was trying to keep my voice low and sound respectful even though she clearly didn’t have any towards me.“Of course, how would you know me,” the woman snickered, fixing her hand bag that she’s carrying before flipping her hair.“Well, I am just the mother of the woman who’s now in misery because of you!”She was about to slap me once again when I blocked her hand with my arm.“I had no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t know who your daughter is and I never caused anyone’s life misery,” I defended, pushing her away from me.Tucking a couple strands of my hair behind my ear, I bow down my head as I walked past her to leave.“I am Iris’ mother,” she announced, immediately making me stop from stepping away.“You ruined the life she was dreaming about and now you have the guts to act so innocent?!” Hastily turning around to face her again, I saw
