Becca.I decided to play it safe and I started off softly.“Tell me, with whom would you like to have that with? I can’t think of anyone that I would entrust the welfare of my kids to, even for a night, kids. Except for your Cindy aunt of course.” I ended softly, hoping they would grab at the straw thrown to them.“Cindy Aunty?” My daughter’s expression was aghast and I saw her brother’s face contort in equal grimace.Okay! An adult is definitely out of the question.“Okay, you don’t want a sleepover at your Aunt's place. But pardon my curiosity, okay? What’s wrong with a sleepover at my friend’s place?” I murmured as I waved them forward in a push to keep going.At this rate we will spend the rest of today here without any success at shopping. Honestly, I can’t imagine why they would choose this place of all places for a talk such as this.‘Probably because they knew you would be too distracted to argue and ignore them.’ A tiny voice chuckled and I had to smile wryly. Considering how
Becca.After a long minute of quietness that seemed like hours, I raised my head to give them a stern look. Never will I bow to their demands in this way. Else, they will always use this emotional tool every time I refuse to grant their request.Opening my mouth to tell them outright that there shall be no sleepover, not at Christos Fernandez’s house anyways, I saw a flash of colour from the corner of my eyes and I turned to it distractedly.Was that not the same person I thought I saw earlier? Turning more fully to confirm my suspicion, I raised my head and my gaze clashed hotly and directly with a familiar eyes.I could feel the shock from the other person even as the same shock went through my own heart and brain.Never would I have thought it would happen this way.That the place I would meet this person is in a mall of all places. With my kids beside me, probably wondering what was going on.Raising my hand weakly to my forehead in an effort to keep from fainting, I staggered sli
Becca.I noticed the twins' alertness and i composed my emotions. Outwardly at least. There is no way I can take care of my kids, give them the best if their mother is locked away in the hospital as a psychiatric patient.Passing my credit card to the young clerk at the counter, I released a tiny breath of relief when a quick glance revealed the woman was nowhere to be found. Probably left because she could not stand to inhale the same air as me.Yet, there is no way I could relax unless we leave this place.“Let’s go, Mum. Everything is packed.” My daughter called softly and her voice brought me out of my retrospection.“Yes, let’s go, sweethearts.” I accepted quietly as we moved with our goods that are now neatly packed in plastics and arranged accordingly in the single cart.Pushing the cart in a manner that was considered harried, I urged my kids along, more hurriedly than usual.And before we walked out of the door, I saw them glancing behind their shoulders; As if checking for s
Becca. It was a long time later that I saw the reddish colour on the floor of the bath and I stared at the reddish flow blankly in confusion. It took another long moment before I saw the bruises on my knuckles and it occurred to me that in my misery, I had injured myself and that was my blood mixed with the water coming from the shower. It finally dawned on me that I am more emotionally damaged than I thought and I know getting over this might take a long time. Raising myself unsteadily from the floor of the bathtub, I closed the shower tap before stepping outside the tub. Running my body briskly with the big towel, I stared blankly at the blood stains on it before dropping it in the laundry basket. Knowing I had to stop the flow of blood before I faint from loss of so much blood, I moved to the first aid cabinets and sluggishly, I brought out the white bandages and with more of doggedness than finesse, I soon had the bandages wrapped around both palms and knuckles. Moving to my
Christos. Not sure of what was going on exactly, I opened the door and stepped outside just as she put the key back into the ignition with a mind to turn back and leave? Deciding there was no way in hell I would allow such, I quickly walked down the stairs in a wave. “Hey Becca?” I called casually in a non threatening voice. She must have come to me for a reason and the last thing I want is for her to go back without getting what she came for. Hopefully, she is here to take more of me. Even before I got much closer, I could sense the wave of pain and hurt from her and I almost stopped midway with the force of the pain that hit me in the chest. ‘Our Mate is hurt and in agony.’ Lightning mourned painfully and a deadly look came into my eyes. ‘Woe betide anyone who hurts her because I swear to mother goddess, I will tear them into pieces once I lay my hands on the person.’ I vowed fiercely even as I moved forward, knowing right now what is important is my mate and she needs me. “I
Christos.Sending my Gamma a glare, I warned him off my woman with my cold eyes and the idiot had the audacity to smile wryly.“Don’t even try to use your sweet ways on her, else I will set Lightning loose on you to rip out your gory soul.” I told him softly in a menacing voice and his eyes immediately went blank with astonishment.I could feel the waves of surprise coming from others but I didn’t care.“Easy, Boss. No one is going to poach on your territory.” Gabriel drawled and I snorted in disgust.“Just remember what I said.” I insisted before returning my gaze back to the woman on my side.“I am sure Gabriel did not mean anything by it, Boss. He is just paying an impersonal compliment on your beautiful Mate, I am sure.” Frank pacified slowly and it did not escape my notice that coming from him, a compliment about my future bride does not sound so threatening.‘Frank is a married man, anyway. Happily married and devoted. Unlike that scoundrel.’ I qualified quietly.“Scoundrel? I a
Christos.It was after a while that I noticed the long silence and that time had passed with no word from the woman whose head was reclining on my upper body.Dropping my head to read her expression, I saw the funny way in which she was looking at me and I sighed. Here we go!“What?” I muttered.“What is what?” She replied slowly, almost tiredly and remembering what she has gone through made me angry again. “What did I do to warrant that look from you?” I explained gently, unsure of what her expression meant.“What look is that, Christos?” And despite what she must be feeling, I could see a mischievous smile twisting the edge of her lips.“Well, the look that suggests you are thinking I might be from another planet. There just now, you were looking at me as if you couldn’t believe I’m real.” I murmured softly, convinced that I was right.“Well, maybe because it is true. I don’t really believe you are real.” She whispered before moving away from my body to drop her head tiredly on the
Christos.“Tell me what exactly happened, little Princess.” I implored the little Erica, knowing that might help to explain the situation.“Well, we really don’t know exactly, but we went with Mum to the downtown mall for shopping and that was where she started behaving strangely. And Eric and I don’t think it was because we asked for a sleepover at your place.” She stopped and it was obvious she was trying to gather her breath.‘The kids had asked for a sleepover at my place?’ Wishing there was a way to ask about their Mum's response to that particular request but knowing now was not the right time, I continued with the other issue and pressed for more details.“So what do you think happened to make her that way, little Princess?” From her explanation though, it is clear something had happened at the mall to make Becca react violently. What could it be? Could it be that she saw her supposed fiancé who got her pregnant and suddenly remembered everything? But wouldn’t she be happy rath

Christos. “What?” They all screamed at the same time including the twins. “Becca didn’t give me a Baby. She—she delivered triplets.” He tacked along softly and it was a while before the meaning of his words penetrated their shocked brains. “A what?” Josh Summer finally murmured, unable to believe his ears. “She gave me a boy and two girls. The most beautiful healthy babies I have ever seen in my life. That’s what my Mate gave me.” He enunciated softly, so that there was no confusion about his meaning and almost at once, everyone moved to sit down weakly. Having thought he was going to deliver unwanted news after that statement of no baby, it was a real shock to hear that not only had she given birth to a healthy baby, but babies. “Triplets, oh my God!” Erica murmured in awe, echoing the thought in everyone’s head and Christos finally allowed himself to show a little of what he was feeling. Though he is still dazed, it’s obvious he’s happy and proud of his mate’s latest accompl
Christos.Just in that moment, they heard movements behind them and they all turned to see the newly married and pregnant Cindy running towards them with her frustrated Mate in pursuit, trying to no avail to stop her from running on the dangerous floor of the hospital and it amused them all to notice that she was barely paying him attention as she almost barged into Josh Summer who was standing almost in her path.“Oops, I am sorry, Dad.” With an embarrassing blush covering her cheeks, she apologised wryly to her best friend’s Dad who sent an amused look towards her protruding belly.“You are not trying to bring that baby to the world yet. Are you, baby girl?” Josh Summer teased with a fond smile at his daughter’s friend who was now a member of his big loving family and Cindy chuckled wryly.“Of course not, Dad. And please, don’t joke like that, it takes little to make Micheal turn green at the edges these days.” She murmured mischievously to the man she now considered to be her fath
Christos.Wondering if it would be considered bad manners to scuffle in the hospital room even though he’s the master of the whole place, the Alpha allowed himself to take a deep breath while his wolf gave the now silent Gabriel an unbelievable look. ‘Really! Is he so stupid he doesn’t fear for his life right now?’ Lightning murmured to himself as he watched his human companion trying to control his breathing.“You want to join my Mate on the hospital bed. Don’t you? I will not mind breaking your arms right now if that’s what you are asking for.” The Alpha promised tightly, almost with relish and Gabriel gave him an askance look.“You mean despite being tense about the birth of the new pups, you will still have energy to scuffle with me?” He then made a tsk tsk sound as if he couldn’t believe it.With slitted eyes that’s almost closed, Christos gave the annoying idiot a considering look and just when he thought the hell with it and was going to throttle the guy anyways, his Beta quic
Becca.“Most proper way possible?” I could pick out the confusion in his voice and I smiled inwardly.‘Poor man! If only he knows what plans I have gat for him.’ I mused wryly to myself with another silent chuckle even as I stood to my knees again on the bed.“Yes. My darling slow Alpha, I mean that I need you and Lightning right now. In there, pounding me hot till I scream for your mercy.” I uttered slowly even as I removed the lapels of my robe to reveal my naked body to his gaze.Even before I revealed my boobs with its newly added weight, I could feel the charged atmosphere as Lightning immediately jumped to attention upon hearing my declaration and when I saw the almost unfocused slanted eyes of my beloved mate, I finally allowed my amusement to show.“You want to stare all day or you want to come have this?” I enticed with a little pat at my well rounded endowed ass and I saw him give a visible shiver.“I would really love to stare all day, my Queen, because damn, you are worth
Christos. I inhaled sharply before looking at her with hooded eyes.“Okay Babes, what do you want us to clarify?”“This thing, this unnecessary burden you are carrying on your shoulders. I admit that you have sexy broad shoulders that seem capable of anything but the last thing you should let them take on is a burden that’s useless.” She intoned almost harshly and not just me, but my wolf also winced along with me.“Useless?” Is that how she sees it? And couldn’t she have phrased that more gently? Why make it seem as if I’m having an unnecessary pity party?“Yes, useless. Don’t get me wrong, I understand your feelings, I sure do. I know it’s possible to feel guilty over the past, because yea, I have been there, done it all but at the end of the day, I sat myself down and I asked myself if it’s worth it. Do I want to keep wallowing in the past, wallowing in guilt or do I want to move forward and be a better version of myself? So I ask you, Christos Fernandez, do you want to continue w
Christos.“Not me. I was paying attention. Lightning is the one with a wandering mind.” I pushed the blame on my wolf without remorse and he gave an angry bellow before peeping out of my eyes to look at our Mate with soft baby eyes, probably hoping to soften her up that way but she was having none of it.“Don’t try to be cute, Lightning. I am a woman that is after answers and I mean to get it.” She warned softly and I felt my wolf releasing a little sigh of disappointment as he sat to listen. ‘Good! At least he can’t continue to think he is the special baby here, her favourite. No way man, if I suffer, he suffers!’ I muttered to myself with relish and I heard a long hiss that showed he knew what I was thinking. But who cares? As long as he isn’t trying to take my place in my woman’s heart, I am good.“Becca darling, you should relax and stop worrying yourself over nothing, okay?” I tried to pacify the heavily pregnant woman that’s still glaring at me so suspiciously, one would think
Christos.Just when I felt a stumble and I was certain I might never get out of this dark void that’s consuming my body and soul, I felt a cool touch on my sensitive skin and I jumped as if scalded. “Christos? What’s going on? Why are you suddenly looking as if you just saw a ghost? And why is your body so hot to touch?” Becca’s tone sounded so faint, it’s as if she was speaking from afar and it was with a great effort I pulled myself back from my own self inflicted abyss to focus my gaze on her.Even at that, her face seemed blurry and I can’t find the words to explain how I felt. “Damn it, Christos, you are getting me worried and you are indirectly transmitting this to the baby, I can feel him in here right now kicking up a ruckus and to be frank, I don’t find it funny.” Her voice suddenly called more urgently as she gripped my bulgy arms for a significant shake.If the tone of her voice had not been enough to pull me out of my misery, then the word ‘baby’ instantly did the magic
Christos.By now, my men and Cindy already joined us with her besotted mate walking closely beside her. I could see the way they kept touching one another slyly and I glanced away from the image it was creating in my head. Turning my head to the other side, I ignored them pointedly.I want no lovey dovey distraction until I sort my pups and can then give my woman my undivided attention. In the privacy of our bedroom, mind you. ‘Hopefully, I can wait to get there before thrusting myself into her welcoming abode.’ I mused wryly to myself and Lightning’s groan gave me a jolt.‘Will you stop it, man? You are creating ideas in my head and that is not fair. Not now, when our mate has something else on her mind at least.’ He rebuked with a childish petulance that got me so amused, I wish I could hoot in laughter.But I curbed the impulse, knowing that that was not the time, not with our parents standing close by, paying attention to every word and gestures.“I am not capping, Ric. I am only
