LilyBefore I could even respond to Wade’s question, Hannah, the teacher, had already got her eyes fixed on the ground as she bowed down.I was just about to wonder why she’s acting like this all of a sudden when I remembered who Wade truly was.He is well-known and respected by many because of the blood of the royalty running through his veins.And the only fact that I was the best student of the university back then made me know him in the first place.“Hey, I asked you,” he interrupts, waving his hand right in front of my face. “What is happening here?”“I should ask you that, right? What are you doing here?”“I’m here to pick up the twins. You know, I didn’t allow them to wait by the school gate anymore. Instead, I went early and got them to their rooms,” he delightedly answered.He seemed to be happy about something.“It was me who has no idea you would be fetching the twins from school today,” he added, chuckling.“Well, I was called by their teacher saying Evan and Zoey got int
LilyWhen we got out, Evan and Zoey were still seated outside, patiently waiting for us. As soon as seeing me, Zoey leaves her seat and rushes to give me a tight hug.“How did it go, Mommy?”I cupped her cheeks and forced a smile. “The teacher's gone.” “What do you mean gone, Mommy?” Evan then asked. “Are we having a new teacher?”Having no idea how to explain things to the both of them, I just remained silent. Wade seemed to notice my trouble in finding the right words to say so he held Evan’s wrist and pulled him with him as we made our way out with Zoey on my arm.We reached Wade’s car and the same feeling of guilt was still present like I was expecting it to vanish after leaving the school. But it didn’t.“What happened to teacher Hannah?” Evan repeatedly asked.I was sitting in the passenger seat watching Wade carefully drive. His eyes appear to notice me staring at him as he looks back.I slightly shrug, asking him for help to answer Evan’s question which he understood right a
WadeBy the first time meeting them, I had this weird feeling of attachment to the twins. Although I already knew since before that I was into kids as I just love being with them, Evan and Zoey hit a different spot for me.Even without having the knowledge they were Lily’s children, I had already liked them.Perhaps that’s why, upon knowing Lily was their mother, there was a huge part of me that wished they were my kids.Right before directly asking Lily the huge question, funny it may sound but I myself already assumed Evan and Zoey were my children too.I thought Lily left because she was pregnant and couldn’t attend the university anymore. I spent a couple of hours acting like I didn’t know her, while I inwardly blamed myself for being the reason Lily failed to finish her studies.Knowing her, I know how big she dreamt of getting her college degree. That’s why when she left, I just knew it was because of a big reason. She will never chose to abandon her biggest dream if it isn’t fo
WadeAlthough I didn’t like what I am seeing in front of me as it felt nothing but betrayal, I still stayed in my place. There was something pulling me in that I cannot resist.“I cannot afford to be jobless, Aiden. How can I fed my twins and their expenses?”“I can give you the money if that’s what you’re worrying about, Lily.”“Thank you, Aiden. But I am afraid that money cannot sustain our living. I mean, please don’t get me wrong. I am more than thankful for your offer. But I think having a new job would better.”Her eyes were red and swollen while her shaking hands were gripping Aiden’s wrist as if he’s the only hope she’s got left.“What about the you were offering to me before at the Packhouse? I will accept it now, Aiden. I am willing to work at the Packhouse.”I am trying to convince myself not to get jealous as for sure Lily chose to open up to him with this matter because she was certain he can help her. Aiden will definitely help her. This guy had been helping her since I
WadeMany Alphas from different Packs had already had their eyes on the Moonlight Pack since before. They have bounty of useful resources that could make the Pack prosper in many different aspects. Huge lands that’s rich with golds and plenty of crops. They had everything it needs for a Pack to continue and provide lavish living for its Pack members.However, centuries had already passed and yet their Pack has the longest record of being one of the poorest among the poorest Pack. Many Alphas from different regions, including my father had given this questionable situation a chance to be investigated.Given how much resources and big useful lands they have, being the poorest Pack just doesn’t seem to fit them right.As what I knew, even my father failed into finding the true answers behind it.That’s why I, an Alpha, myself, I planned on expanding my Pack’s wealth and improving lives of my Pack members. And I started accomplishing that by buying lands from the countryside Packs in ord
LilyI would be always grateful that Wade was with us right now. If it weren't for his help I don’t know if I could still go on with life given the hardships I had faced.When Aiden told me that he wouldn’t be able to find a new job for me at the Packhouse, I must admit that I’ve lost all of my remaining hope. But I kept on acting tough and act as if I wasn’t toring apart on the inside especially in front of my twins.However, Wade knew me so well that he was still able to figure out what truly happen given the fact that I didn’t tell him a thing. It may be from eavesdropping on my conversation with Aiden, but still, he was able to find a solution to my problem which I thought I could never overcome.Today would be my first day of working as his secretary, and I have already made a clear promise to myself that I will do everything perfectly for Wade to think that I truly deserve the place he’s given me.Though I still couldn't believe how Aiden can easily say to my face that he won’t
LilyThe nap I was talking to got out of hand that I didn’t notice how long I’ve been asleep. I was only determined to opened up my eyes upon having a sudden feeling of someone’s presence with me.I pushed my heavy lids to open and my body instantly jolted awake seeing Wade. He was sitting on his swivel chair with his arms folded as he watched me… probably sleeping?My boss just caught me sleeping in working hours just right inside his office!I could feel my face heating in embarrassment.“I-I’m sorry. I apologize,” I mumbled, fixing my hair, tucking a couple of strands behind my ears.“I didn’t mean to sleep. It was just,” I was caught off guard in finding my next words.Didn’t I mean it? I think I actually did.I looked back at him and seeing his blank gaze still fixed on me just caused me to panic even more.He’s probably mad.I could feel my heart skipping beats in nervousness as I tried to compose a reasonable alibi to explain to Wade. I just got this job, I couldn’t afford to l
LilyAccepting the fact that I won’t get any decent answer from him, I just waited until his car came into a halt at the parking lot of a fine dinning restaurant we just passed by.“What are we doing here? I thought I’m gonna help you decide on buying something important?”And again, without responding to my question, he got out of the car and opened the door for me.“Let’s go,” he remarked, upon noticing that I am not moving nor have any plans on hopping out.“I am asking you a question. Why can’t you seem to answer it? I am confused so just answer me,” irritation was audible on my monotone voice.“Alright, I’m sorry. It was inside.” “You mean a shop inside a restaurant? Are you really kidding me?” “No, I’m not. Please, just come with me. Trust me on this one.” He offered his hands to me which I then took.Little did he know that I trust him more than myself.I let him pulled me until we reached inside. But what made me confused much more is to see that the restaurant was empty. Th
