JASON

Zeke meets up with me outside. He looked pissed for some reason, but I didn’t get the chance to ask what was the matter with him. We had more pressing issues to attend to.

The man who had come to tell me what was going on, passed out almost as soon as he was done delivering that message. He looked like he had been holding on just so he could say what was going on. I have no idea why no one mind linked me or Zeke to tell us what was going on.

I had a fucking gamma and delta for a reason.

I get that Zeke just got back from a trip. I don’t expect him to be at full working capacity. He hadn’t had any rest since we left to go to New York. But he is here, steady and on his feet. And the other two people whom I trusted t

    JASONI brought the blue toy up to my nose and dragged it in. Inhaling deeply. The scent that always welcomed me when I walked into the nursery at Jenna’s house hits me. And my knees buckle, becoming too weak to carry my weight.Zeke’s arm goes around my shoulder and he helps keep me standing.“Z-zeke, they…”He nods in understanding. “I know.”I shook my head and dragged in another deep inhale. I was sure it was the scent. I couldn't mistake it, even if all my senses stopped working. I would know. I would know what my sons smelled like.What did this mean? Were they alive? Wer

    JASONI kept pacing in the office Zeke and the doctor convinced me to stay in while they ran the tests. I’d wanted to go with the doctor, because the thought of waiting absolutely gutted me. But she said there was no need.Zeke also chimed in saying my presence around the hospital might make the people nervous. And we didn’t want to arouse suspicion. Seeing me in the hospital will do that, and I’m sure I don't want to deal with Liz’s father.I had completely forgotten about her, if it wasn’t for Zeke that brought it up, I wouldn’t have even remembered. But she isn’t the person we should be worrying about right now. The last person I want to hear about this is Jenna.She will probably lose it. I already feel like I’m losing because of the worry and the multiple bad thoughts I was having.I used to think you needed to sleep to have dreams or nightmares. But my eyes are wide open in the middle of the day, and I’m having a nightmare. The worst kind of nightmare that feels too real.“You s

    JASONI had complete hope and faith that Jenna would be by the lake. But the only person we found was Kristina. Which in itself was weird. I don’t think she has ever come out here. Not even when we were kids.This was strictly Jenna, Zeke and my spot in the pack. Though I know a few of our schoolmates would have liked to come there. They believe Jenna is easy to bully. But the fact that I claimed the spot stopped them.“If she isn’t here, where the hell could she be?” From the look on Zeke’s face, he has an idea. And I know what he is thinking, but we both refuse to say it.She probably went back to see Reed. And I won’t even blame her, after what happened earlier, if she never wants to see my face, it’ll be okay. Plus the way she jerked after I hugged, that was something. And it wasn’t good.I was about to kiss her. She looked like she would allow it. She was fully into it. Then she changed her mind out of the blue. And with how she's been acting for the past few days, the next thing

    JENNAThough I was still feeling a bit skeptical. I pushed the feeling aside and headed into Jason’s bedroom. Knowing how he wasn’t a big fan of change, I knew exactly where to go to find his things.I didn’t care to ask what Liz was doing there. I could feel her eyes on me, boring holes into my skull. But is she waiting for me to do something so she can react? I didn’t know what she was thinking.I checked the drawers under his sink. Everything else that I knew was there except the dryer. I frowned a bit, thinking of where it could be. If the other things weren’t there, I would have thought he moved them.But his first aid kit was there. His aftershave and shaving scream were all in the right palaces that I knew. Why just the dryer?I thought of his hair and yeah, he looked like he was due for a cut so he is probably using it.“He also said it was there but I didn’t find it.” Liz says with a low tone. I didn’t know what that meant so I just shrugged and walked out.I headed to the cl

    JENNA“I want you to leave.” Liz said without missing a beat, shooting me a death glare. “I want you to leave and never come back.”I tilt my head to the side, my eyes narrowing as I watch her. I couldn’t tell if she was serious or not. Because this all seems to be coming out of nowhere.I have only seen her like three times. And I never spoke to her, like having a full conversation with her. And now she is looking at me like she wants to kill me. What could be her problem?She literally told you every reason why she hates you. That sassy voice in my head mutters.My wolf couldn’t even be bothered with this woman.Actually, I’m glad she is not paying attention to any of this. I don’t think she’ll give Liz any flowers, knowing she is the woman Jason is marrying. She isn’t only jealous but also possessive. It doesn’t help that she and Jason’s wolf still have a strong connection with each other.“Should I leave?” The words were out of my mouth before I could control my tongue.Liz nods g

    JASONEvery second that I spend out here, not knowing what the hell is going on inside makes me feel a little bit more worried. The screaming has stopped which I wasn’t sure was good news.I’d heard a loud thud and then a scream, followed by another thud, and it was the end of it. I couldn’t even bring myself to picture what was actually happening.Oh, and I tried breaking the door. After I almost dislocated my shoulder. I chose to wait for the guys I called to bring the keys, and or something that we will be able to use and break the door.There was a time when alphas' kids were being kidnapped in their own homes. Many packs were raided and the kids were kidnapped. To stop that from happening, dad had changed my door and Jenna’s. We were like six at the time but the memory is still fresh in my head.It looks like a normal wood door. Because it is wood, but it is thicker than normal doors. Thanks to the strong iron placed between the inner and outer part of the door. It was almost imp

    JASONForget that I had no idea what the fuck Zeke was talking about. I kept texting him, trying to figure out what the hell he was talking about but he didn’t reply to any one of my texts.I called his phone countless times but they all went to voicemail.After seeing that staying there and trying to get to him was going to be pointless. I decided to do what he asked.I should have probably done that before trying him, or after I tried the first time, or even doing two things at once. But with everything that is happening, my brain is barely functioning.Not to mention, if Liz doesn’t wake up, then it is going to be more of a problem for me.She is her father’s only daughter and he loves her to death. Definitely not the kind of man I want on my radar. He is also known for all his gray activities, which I didn’t want any part of.I think since he noticed I wasn’t into that, he decided we weren’t going to see eye to eye. It is fine by me.I knocked on Jenna’s door, then waited for a bi

    JENNAAfter I left Jason and his crazy fiancé, I went to my old room and cleaned up.I wore a fresh set of clothes, dressed up the cuts that weren’t finished healing and then headed out of the house. I didn’t go to the lake this time, knowing Jason could easily find me. And he is the last person I want to see right now.I asked for Zeke. I don’t know if he will still do what I want the way he used to do when we were younger. I thought of convincing him to not tell Jason he was with me. Then we would go hiking or for a run until I feel better.I held myself back with Liz. I didn’t know why but I just didn’t want to hurt her.It is why no matter how much she attacks, I don’t attack back. I just try to avoid her hits. And it worked out well enough, because even though I didn’t lay a single finger on her. She looked like someone had beat her up thoroughly.I’ve never seen anyone fight as blindly as she did. I swear by the time I locked her in that bathroom. I thought of offering fighting

  • 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

    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

    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.
