JENNA

Things got easier when the kids were eleven months old. There was less night crying. They slept through the night five out of seven times a week.

They were active in the daytime, crawling and making an absolute mess of everything.

I loved them regardless. And I have to admit, I loved the little messes they left. Even if it drives me insane to walk out and see all the throw pillows on the floor. Or the remote in a different part of the house.

We kept our routine of Nana coming to help me. On days Lisa doesn't have to open the store early, she also drops by.

Meeting Nana was the best thing that happened to me since I left my pack.

I was so scared of what would happen if they found out the truth about me, but she’d helped me keep it a secret.

I knew I couldn’t hide it forever. But there was no way to hide when my wolf had taken over during childbirth. It was easier and the biggest secret I struggled to keep came out in the best way.

Turns out Nana has heard of wolves, seen them and

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   9: Stalker

    JENNAMy heart was beating erratically in my chest. Claire saw me when I entered the kitchen and she rushed after me.“Are you okay, Pen?” She asks gently, placing her hand on my shoulder.I knew it was her but I still flinched. She moved back, which made me feel guilty. She was only trying to be nice.“Yes, yes I’m fine.” I cleared my throat. “I didn’t get enough sleep last night.”She nodded in understanding. Her face twisting in worry.“You should rest. I can cover for you for a bit.”I checked the time again. “But your shift is already over.”She has been here since morning. I heard her talking about how she couldn’t wait to get off so she could go home and repay the sleep she missed in the morning.“Doesn’t matter.” She waved to the chair in the backroom. “Take a moment for yourself. I have nothing to do back home anyways.”“Claire, you don’t have to.”“I want to,” she shakes her head.I threw my arms around her and gave her a tight hug.“Thank you so much.” I whispered. “I owe y

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   10: Progressing

    JENNAI was rattled by that man’s visit.He only threatened me before he pretty much disappeared from sight. I didn’t even turn to get a good look at him because of how much he scared the fuck out of me.I left my apartment instead and went back to the diner. I didn’t feel safe in my home.I called nona and told her to stay back with the kids. If he already knows where I live, I don’t want to think of what he would do. I didn’t want any type of harm to come near my babies.So I decided staying away from the house will be the best thing to do.Lisa had to come back, leaving her mum with her kids and mine. The latter had called the sheriff and told him everything that happened. He immediately sent two cops to stay close to the house.Not very close so it wouldn’t be alarming, but close enough to intervene if anything happens. I hope it doesn't come to that.He also has another person stationed by my apartment. In case the man comes back.It is almost eight pm now and there are no signs

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   11: Success

    JENNA“How do you feel?” Nana asks, walking out of the kitchen carrying three lunch bags.I took two from her and kept it on the table. My sweaty palms showed on the handle of the boxes I kept and she sighed.Nervous. I was extremely nervous.“I think I might need to throw up again.” I turn to walk to the bathroom again.Nana drags me back with her arm locked through mine. I leaned into her touch, exhaling the breath that has been lodged in my throat for the past two days.Maybe even two weeks. Heck, two months.I was opening another branch of The Tripledose in the town close to us. All the preparations and renovations and planning had felt like a dream. But today was the opening day and it feels unreal.I was panicking because I knew it was real. It was happening. And that is scary as fuck.“You’ll be fine,” Nana said with a small smile. “You worked your butt off to get here. Trust me when I say you deserve every second of success you’re getting.”I threw my arms around her and hugge

    JENNAThe event was successful.All the gourmet critics that were present seemed impressed by the ambience. The food and the service.When I decided to turn the small diner in Lakeville into a fine dining restaurant. I’d been scared. No, I was petrified.It was something I didn't think I would ever do in my life.All I had was my passion and the belief Nana had in me. I did a six month course on fine dining. Checked restaurants in other places. Had Lisa help me scout places in New york.My success is very much hers because none of this could’ve happened without her.I didn’t think she would make it, because when we spoke last night, he said Liam was down with a fever.As much as I wanted her to be present, I knew how worried she must be.He was feeling much better and safe to travel, so they made the trip. She decided it would be great if they spent a few weeks in town.She missed her mum.We went up there on holidays, and special occasions but it still wasn’t enough.Having been with

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   13: Kidnapped

    JENNAI feel lost, I feel dead. My heart feels absent in my chest.They said to rest, everyone told me to take a moment and calm down. To breathe.But I couldn’t. My body couldn’t function when I felt like my heart was ripped apart over and over again.I thought the pain of rejection was the worst pain anyone could ever feel. After childbirth, I figured that was nothing. What I’m feeling now is a new discovery.I don’t know how I’m alive. The agony in my chest should have killed me by now.And the more I thought of my children being gone, the more the pain intensified.Nana had called the sheriff immediately.Killian, Lisa’s husband, told my assistant, my actual assistant, to keep the event going. And we all went out through the backdoor.The first thing he said was to keep it private.We had no idea who did this and it could be random for all we knew.“Maybe they want money.” He suggested.I had money, yes. But I didn’t think it was so much that anyone could be interested. Interested

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   14: A Clue

    JENNAAfter learning the person that lied and took my kids was probably a werewolf. I felt a cold dread in my chest.I thought of multiple scenarios.Did Jason somehow find out I had kids? Was he looking for me? Did he find me? Was this a way to punish me for keeping his kids away from him?That last question always made my pain turn into anger. Because how dare he?! He’d been the one to reject me.Sherif Allister came down to the house. He has the footage they’d gotten from one of the surveillance cameras right after the school.They had successfully avoided all the other ones. He assumed they didn’t know of that one since it was on the opposite side of the street. It was by a store that has been closed for years.It had the perfect angle to show where they were heading, into the woods.They have already sent out multiple searching troops, along with their hound dogs. I was told to bring the kids’ clothes so they could use it as a guide.They tracked down a few hunters. They decided

    JENNA“No, no. It can’t be!”I cried, pushing the men away. If they can't find my children, I’ll go and find them myself.I felt they were fine. Nothing could have happened to my babies.I couldn’t live with myself if anything happened to either of them.“Calm down.” Alister tries to speak.My wolf growls, pushing him away. I didn’t think of the force I used because he goes flying to the other end of the room.The other two men stop forward, one of them reaching into his bag to pull something out. I could hear Indira talking but I had no idea what she was saying, maybe trying to stop them.I didn’t care, I wanted them to try and hit me. My wolf was unhinged, angry and reckless. She’ll put them down before they even knew what was coming for them.I haven’t gone for a run in a while. Busy with many things. She is strung tight and frustrated, and looking for a fight. The best way to ease stress for a wolf was through physical activity. And what is better than beating the shit of two guys

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   16: Ghost

    JENNAI forced myself to not think of anything while I packed.I didn’t want to think of Jason, what he represented in my life. How he was. If he was with someone else. If he’d gotten married or chosen a mate and luna.I didn’t want to intrude if he has a family. I only need his help to figure out who took my kids and that is the end.Once they are safely back home, I’ll leave and he can go back to living the way he has and I’ll go back to my life.Even as I told myself this, I couldn’t help thinking. Did he miss me? Did he try to look for me?And the biggest and scariest question. Did he ever regret rejecting me?“Don’t be a fool. It has been seven years. He has probably forgotten all about your existence.”Scratch what I said first. This is my scariest thought.I think I’m being delusional if I believe I’m still on his mind. Maybe I cross it once in a while.I couldn’t say the same. Seeing my kids—our kids, is always a reminder of what could have been, but didn’t be, because he didn

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   Epilogue

    JENNA If someone told me I would be marrying Jason, before I ever told him I loved him. I would have laughed in their face. But I did. I walked down the aisle. In the dress of my dreams if I ever had one and my babies were there. They were the best thing to ever happen to me in the world. They were already warming up to their father. Especially Nina. There was no surprise there as we all knew she would be a daddy’s girl. She has refused to leave her dad’s side. Ryan has stuck to mine. And Kai being the most carefree was already running around. Getting everyone in the pack to fall in love with him. Liz was taken away, along with her father. They were locked in the dungeon until their trial with the werewolf council. They were facing charges of attempted murder and kidnapping. And many other things Jason assured will be found. Alpha Zade mentioned how the council had been trying to get some dirt on Liz’s father. He was manipulative and a terrible person. But he also knew how to ti

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   190: Forever And Always

    JASONI underestimated Liz’s level of craziness. When my phone rang and I saw it was an unknown number, I knew instantly it was her. So I picked.The last thing I expected her to ask for was for me to marry her in exchange for Jenna and my kids’ freedom.Oh, and she isn’t stupid so I’ll have to sign an agreement to waive my rights as their father. She was also adding a no divorce clause.I was eerily calm for some reason.Maybe it was stemming from the fact that I knew I had multiple teams waiting outside of that warehouse. Ready to put her down. I assume she was there with the kids and Jenna too. Just to be safe. Alpha Zade said to hold out till we were sure they were inside.We’ll get them to safety first so there are no mishaps.Aiden was with me. Throughout. With Zeke unreachable as of now.I pretended I was giving into her demands. She had to be here for us to be wed. She wanted the mating ceremony to happen right now too. Because according to her, she wasn’t going to take chance

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   189: Ultimatum

    JENNAI’ll never forget this year in my life.I woke up in the trunk of a car. My hands were bound and tied to my legs and there was a tape over my mouth. Let me not mention the banging in my head.It was like my skull was being hit with a sledgehammer over and over again.A moan rips from my chest but it came out muffled thanks to the tape. I tried moving my legs and hitting the back of the car to gain the attention of whoever was driving.I couldn’t tell if they didn’t hear me or they just chose to ignore me. Seeing the state I was in, I would go with the latter.The drive goes on for a long time. I felt like I was going to die because of how tightly closed this place was and the position I was in was horrible. I would have been fine if they just tied me but kept me in the seat with them.When the car stopped, my heart raced. Both with anticipation of the air I would breathe and worry. Because I have seen just how crazy Liz is. Lord knows how crazier she can get. And we’re probably

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   188: True Truth

    JASONAiden bursting into my office saved Liz’s father from my wrath. If it wasn’t for him, I definitely wouldn’t have hesitated to choke the man to death.“Alpha,” he was breathing heavily, looking like he ran a marathon.“What?!” I growled the question out. Pissed off at everyone and everything.And the damned old man has still refused to speak. He was clearly protecting someone. I just didn’t know if it was Liz. But she was his only daughter. So it had to be her.She had never given the indication that she knew about Jenna and the kids. I only recently found out myself and seeing as it was after they were kidnapped. I’d say they found out before me.But how?Jenna was rarely mentioned around the pack. Most of the pope that knew her have left the pack. Now in neighboring packs with their mates. And the younger pack members didn’t know her. Maybe just from stories or here and there.Then their parents. They were the ones that were always with mum when she spoke about Jenna. And after

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   187: Lots Of Crazy

    JENNAI’m woken by the sound of something hitting the wall. A thudding I couldn’t exactly explain.When my eyes first opened, I blinked multiple times and tried to remember where I was and my name. Because the first thing that came to my head was Nana knocking on the door.It didn’t make any sense, seeing as my house had a doorbell. And I had a live-in maid because of the kids. So she would have gotten the door.I was in Jason’s bedroom. And that was all I needed for my memories to come back.Not that it explained the sound I was hearing. I stretched on the bed, raising my hands high above my head.“Sleeping in his clothes, on his bed. The bed he never let me sleep on!” I turned sharply to the direction I heard the voice.Like a psychopath, or some other kind of crazy person. Liz sat at the dresser, her eyes locked on me and her hands pounding on the vanity table.That was the source of the sound I kept hearing. Well, I guess that mystery is solved.“What are you doing here?” I asked,

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   186: Calling It Off

    JASONJenna ended up falling asleep after our conversation. She was tired from the day’s activities.Even though I had Zeke’s new weird behavior. In my mind, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t more focused on what we spoke about.I was about to confess my love to her. To directly tell her that I loved her and I wanted to spend all of eternity with her. Or as long as we had to leave. Though I was disappointed she didn’t let me say it. I later realized it was better that way.I wouldn’t have the engagement hanging over my head when I thought of being with her. I’m going to officially call it off in a few minutes.Now, when I finally tell her, there isn't going to be anything on my conscience. It’ll just be me, her and the kids.Kristina met up with me when I was going down the stairs. It just reminded me of the note I made to myself about talking to her.You could clearly see the effect the whole mate thing with Zeke had on her. And I didn’t for one second believe that it was all norma

    JENNASeeing Amaya had to be the most shocking thing. Out of all the things going on. That was not in my game card. I didn’t even know what to think.All of this didn’t make any sense. And the look in Zeke’s eyes. You could very easily tell something was wrong. Majorly wrong.But since we’re not going to show her we’re on to her. I buried the surprise deep down in my heart and offered her a kind smile. Or what I hoped looked like one.“Hey, what a pleasant surprise?” I moved and pulled her into a hug.There was no reason to be mean to her outright. She had been nice to us while we stayed at that resort. The best thing to do is carry on with the way we left off.I felt her visibly relaxed against me. I could almost feel Kristina’s pain radiating off of her in waves. And I mentally apologized to her for doing this. But it is for the greater good.I make sure to mention how great Amaya was to us and how we couldn’t repay her for being kind.“There's so much we have to talk about,” I told

  • Saving The Alpha's Triplets   184: Surprise

    JASONJenna’s words pierced a part of my heart. I know the situation was horrible but I couldn’t help the joy I felt at that.She loved me.That was all I heard in her words. But to be fair, she never said she stopped or she no longer did. She always spoke about how she couldn’t. Not she wouldn’t.And if my engagement is the only thing standing in the way of us being together? Then I’ll get rid of it and remove that obstacle.I’m not going to stand back and watch myself losing her when there is a simple way for us to get what we want. For us to get her!Rex was on board with that. And the excitement of getting her back made me feel much stronger. He was ready to rain hell on whoever was there.We’re getting our kids back, and I’m not waiting another second for it.Watching Jenna’s tear filled eyes, I didn’t know when I pulled her face close to mine and joined our lips.I waited for her to push me away but instead, she kissed me back with equal frenzy.The rest of the world disappeared

    JENNAAlpha Zade offered to give us his helicopter to cut our trip short. Jason still wasn’t able to reach anyone in the pack and you could tell how we panicked more.With no idea who it could be that was at the house, and what they knew. It felt like the worst thing ever.The scariest part had been knowing someone that was very close to us was involved in this.“We’ll keep in touch, and if there’s anything you need, please do not hesitate to call.” Alpha Zade had assured us before we left.Jason only made one request.“Can you keep track of the phone and update us?”The man who had brought the news, I’m guessing he is their tech genius, nodded.“Sure alpha,” he said. “I’ll update you about the current location every hour.”That was good enough for us.I was silent throughout. From the drive to the flight to the drive again.My mind was completely blank. I was shaking with fear but I seemed fine outwards. I thought I was going crazy, so much that I was staring at my hands to see if th
