ONE YEAR LATERCassandra's POV I heaved out a tired breath as I hefted a tray and began making my way to the table whose orders were in the tray. I was still laying out the orders when one of my colleagues walked towards me."Some of your little lions are awake," she whispered into my ears and I sighed.A few months ago, I had given birth to three adorable baby boys who I had named Robin, Justin and Mason. I had totally freaked out on hearing that I would be having triplets and almost fainted the first time that all three of them cried at the same time but being a mother of triplets had slowly begun to grow on me.Having three children at once meant that I couldn't afford a maternity leave because of money so about a week after their birth, I was back to working. I had about three jobs but my expenses gobbled up most of my income and paying for a babysitter would leave me without savings so I decided to work with my kids in tow.It had been difficult to find jobs that would let
Cassandra's POV "Cassandra, are you there?" Sally's voice jolted me out from my thoughts."Sally, are you serious? Did I really smell a fire blocks away? That seems unreal," I worried."Calm down, it might have just been a coincidence. It's only a possibility that you have awakened your wolf," Sally shrugged and patted my shoulder before heading back to the bar to attend to some customers.Sally kept making this issue seem a lot less perturbing than it was but it was really a huge situation. I had been told that all my children were werewolves after their birth but I had attributed it to the fact that their father was an Alpha werewolf.What if it really was actually because I was a werewolf too?'You are at work, Cassandra, focus! Think about all that later unless you have another job that can sustain you in place of this,' my subconscious scolded and I sighed.Soon, it was evening and I walked out from my working place with my kids as we slowly made our way home. I was so tired an
Cassandra's POV "Hello Sally, what is happening?" I asked as the call connected.I could hear the heavy breath of Sally and some loud noises in the background which made me even more curious."Cassandra..." she exhaled. "Some men came to the restaurant looking for you. I don't know what happened but it seems like you have messed with someone who you shouldn’t have."I thought about her words and racked my brain wondering if I had collided with anyone that could result in trouble. If what she was saying was true, I could get fired."I'll be there soon," I announced and moved to extricate my nipple from Mason's mouth."No, no, are you crazy? Don't come here! With how bad things are here, they might harm you or the babies," she stuttered. "Please don't come, it's something that will be dealt with soon.The police have been called already and they are on their way," she added but I was already dressing up and placing Mason back in the pram even though he was obviously not yet satisfied
Cassandra's POV "What do you mean by you have been having strange encounters lately?" Doctor Joel asked with a frown."I have been hearing voices from people that are awfully far away and even have a very sensitive nose," I explained."Umm… That's strange in some ways," he muttered. "So, is that all?""Yes.""So that is the reason why you think that you are turning into a werewolf?""Yeah, do you think I'm overreacting? I'm sure that you also know that all my children are werewolves which you claimed was strange for a multiple birth with a human parent and a werewolf parent," I reminded him."You're right. So since when have you been having these symptoms?" He asked, leaning forward across the table with his hands crossed."To be honest, they've been there for a while but it only got severe about a few days ago," I answered."But when was the very first time you experienced it?""Umm, I don't know...""Think hard, Ma'am," he urged.I really couldn't remember when exactly it began,
Cassandra's POV I decided to make the call concluding that my parents deserved to know how I was doing and about their grandchildren. I dialed the number on my phone and made the call.The call went through and all I could hear for a while was the ding sound that showed it was ringing. I eventually gave up when it rang for several seconds and cut the call.Maybe I wasn't meant to call home yet.I would just stick to my plan of calling when I had saved enough money to pay for the transport fare to and from this place for at least one of my parents. If I had given birth to just one child, I would have probably saved that up already but I was still glad to have all three of them.I quickly stood up from my bed to prepare myself for work since the free time was over already and since I was early, decided to walk to the restaurant when I was ready.Soon enough, I arrived at my working place and was warmly welcomed by my colleagues. Sally also informed me to change into my work clothes a
Cassandra's POV It was Sally on the floor and I didn't know what had happened but knew that she couldn't have been in the wrong."Sally!" The word escaped from my lips as I headed towards her direction with my brain still in the process of registering what was going on."Where is the manager of this place!? In fact, I want to meet the boss. Such incompetent workers here, I've heard lots of reviews about you people and experiencing it myself just makes me question the professionalism here," the woman yelled angrily at Sally.I ignored her initially then stood before Sally, bending as I helped her get up."Are you hurt?" I asked softly as I saw how messed up she was and couldn't help but notice the red fingerprints on her face."I'm fine," she whispered but I still managed to grasp the words.I turned to the woman and noticed a little red stain on her dress. My eyes scanned the surroundings and seeing the damages around, I wasn't surprised that it got the attention of all the custom
Liam's POVShe just rejected my offer? This was interesting.I sat down on the nearest chair, stunned and watched her as she continued working. She got more and more impressive each second that I watched her.No one, and I mean no one, had ever refused my offer to join my company. It wasn't so easy to join my company as the requirements were quite hard for anyone to fulfill and there was also the question of availability of employment spaces."Is it that she doesn't know me?" I frowned as I thought about this possibility.No! She might not know my company because I didn't mention the name but I mentioned my name. She was supposed to know my name or at least have heard it somewhere."Is there anything you would like me to get you, sir?" A waiter's voice drifted into my thoughts and I stared at him blankly for a moment before finally processing what he had said."Red wine please," I muttered and continued thinking about how I could hire that lady.She was so mesmerizing that I did not w
Cassandra's POV"What does he take me for? A fool?" I muttered with disgust as I got into my apartment.I was still pondering over the meeting with that Mr Liam Bradwick outside the restaurant and how he was such a fake. There were probably many people like him out there on the street deceiving lots of innocent people, especially the jobless ones.I was in the process of wearing the children their diapers after bathing them when Mason started laughing out of nowhere. I guess that his laps were becoming a tickly spot for him.I checked Justin's lap too but he didn't budge and stared at me with a blank face. I moved to Robin but he was even worse as he started crying."No, no, no, don't cry," I panicked as I quickly picked him up. "I only wanted to know where your soft spot was," I groaned. "We can't stay up all night like this, come on and don't cry, please!"I ended up spending almost an hour trying to pacify him and when he finally stopped crying, it was because he had fallen asleep.
Cassandra's POVIt was like I couldn't breathe properly again after my eyes landed on that stain. There was a heavy weight in my chest and my head ached terribly as I tried to assimilate what I had seen.Jason must have been smooching with Ana for her lipstick to be smeared on his face. I had imagined that Jason would kiss someone in his office today but I thought that person would be me, not Ana. He didn't even care that I was leaving his office since he had obviously now reconciled with her."How come you're already leaving? Are you too ashamed to continue now that I caught you in the act?" Ana's voice filtered into my ears as I tried to surreptitiously leave the building and I stopped in the middle of my steps.What was she still doing here? Wasn't she already leaving? Or did she stay outside to wait to see how I would react on realizing that they had reconciled? She was probably just taunting me now, knowing that I probably saw what she wanted me to; the fact that she was still t
Jason's POVEverything was so fucked up. How had I manage to get myself in a ditch just in a few minutes? This all began when Ana came to my office while I was waiting for Cassandra who I invited to come over.My eyes had lit up on hearing my secretary announce that I had a guest but dimmed just as quickly as I realized that Cassandra's arrival wouldn't be announced in that manner."A guest?" I echoed what she had said in slight confusion as I hadn't been expecting any visitor and couldn't tell who would want to see me."Yes, sir. It's... It's umm...""Why are you stuttering?""It's emm..." She trailed off again."Who is the guest that came to see me?" I asked her just as I heard a hiss over the phone that certainly hadn't been from my secretary."I'll just go in since you're not ready to inform him of my presence."'Ana,' I swiftly realized who had the new voice just as the door of my office opened to reveal the exact person I thought it was."What do you think that you're doing here
Cassandra's POVI was presently feeling extremely cranky right now. I had been feeling this way the entire day but it was now that I had the time to dwell on it as the driver was just taking the boys out of the house which meant the task of preparing the kids for school was finally out of the way.Why was I feeling cranky? Very easy question to answer, it was because I didn't get a good night's rest. And that was because I missed having someone in bed with me. Hell, I didn't miss having just anyone in bed with me, I missed having Jason in bed with me.Wasn't it so silly that I would miss him when I didn't even feel anything when Liam left the house? It was really crazy and I knew that but that was just the way I felt.I wanted Jason with me at every moment of the day, even if we wouldn't kiss or do anything sexual. I just wanted him in the same room that I was in, so that I could hear him, and smell him.Jason was like a very unhealthy craving that I couldn't break free from. I totall
Jason's POVI thought I saw regret in Ana's eyes after I reminded her that she was now in the position I had been in while we were married but I quickly waved that imagination out of my head. There was no way she was sorry for what she had done in the past.How did someone even suddenly become remorseful for what they did years ago? If she really regarded me as all she cared about like she claimed, she would have realized her wrongdoing earlier on, before we even got divorced, and sought my forgiveness.She was only coming back now because she was just too proud to be comfortable with being replaced. There was also the fact that she was probably ashamed that I now had children with a person she set me up with herself and that the same person was someone she had been friends with."Can you step away from my car door now?" I breathed out and she swallowed."I'm going to let you go for now...""Good," I commented, intending to cut her off."But I still have my eyes on you," she continued
Ana's POV My eyelids flared as Jason accused me of being the one who set him up with Cassandra and I felt like throwing something at that moment. Jason was still as frustrating and annoying as he had been when we were married.I may have been the one who orchestrated their first encounter but I only wanted them to have sex with each other for one day. I didn't want them to get into any extra relationship and continue maintaining contact with each other.If I could, I would have even killed off those little brats that she gave birth to so as to make sure that Cassandra didn't have any relationship with him but I couldn't even dare or else Jason would have my head on a stake.He had always wanted children so much and I wasn't ready for that but he wouldn't listen if I tried telling him. I was forced to secretively make sure that I didn't get pregnant by minimizing sex between the both of us and taking pills whenever we did.'So why are you now pissed that someone else did what you

Cassandra's POV “The door is open," I squealed as Jason tried to kiss me, pointing at the door then walking out.I had to admit to myself that I really wanted to kiss him though, it was as if I was addicted to his taste. Only getting close enough to smell him made me so excited."I'll have that kiss later though," he promised as he caught up with me after shutting the door and laced his fingers through mine."Jason!" I protested in a whisper."Fine, fine," he conceded and let go of my hand. "I just always have the desire to lay my hands on you whenever I see you.""After holding me for so long yesterday?" I taunted."Especially after that," he winked at me and I nudged him before walking ahead of him to get to the boys."Okay, we're here," I announced as we came out of the corridor, arriving in the sitting room."Daddy, can we turn on the television?" Justin requested."No, how is that the first thing you want in the morning?" I answered before Jason could speak. "How come you a
Jason's POVI smiled as Cassandra walked out of my room already dressed up because she wanted to be back in her room before the children would wake up. She was really such a beauty and so sexy that I kept on having hard-ons."You had better stop thinking about her if you don't want another hard-on," I told myself and moved to my wardrobe to pick clothes.But it was so hard not to as she was all that filled my mind once I wasn't thinking about anything important. Sometimes, the thoughts of her even drowned out important issues. I was that deeply attracted to her.I remembered how she wanted to cum but thought that she needed to pee and bursted into laughter. She even lost consciousness briefly after climaxing. How was she so naive and yet she had been dating someone for years? They were even engaged!I had only started suspecting that they actually hadn't gotten physical when she seemed to really be into me but my assumption was confirmed when she told me that she needed to pee when sh
Cassandra's POVJason and I went to shower together, touching each other again while bathing until I finally left him in there and came out. I quickly dressed up and by the time he finally came out, I was leaving the room.I kept looking around for maids as I headed to my room but luckily, didn't see anything till I entered my room. I sighed in relief once I was in my room and then jumped onto my bed happily as I reminisced on everything that had taken place the previous night.After lying there for a while, I changed clothes and went to check on my phone once I was dressed. My eyes widened on seeing three missed calls and I suddenly remembered that I had told Liam I would call him back when he called while we were in the park.Like I expected, I saw that it was actually Liam who had called when I picked up my phone and quickly called back with my heart beating fast. While I was having fun with Jason, my fiance was waiting for me to call him back."Liam?" I spoke up once he answered t
