Aubrey's POV
(Three years later)“Breakfast!”“Nooodroppingey yelled simultaneously with him their eyes still stuck on the TV, “Oh mummy just one hour more”.I chuckled at Shannon sharp wits, I had earlier on told her that daycare was starting in an hour’s time so she was throwing my words back at me.“Common, it's breakfast guys…you asked for pancakes”.“Pancakes and eggs mummy!” Rory yelled and upon raising my head I could see that there were still stuck on the TV with no plans of joining me at the dining.“Shannon, Rory, Jayden!” I drawled as I flipped the pancakes into their respective plates.I checked the time and frowned, there was no way I was going to make it to the office in time, this kids won't even let if happen.“But baby shark…” Shannon cooed trying to patronize me but it definitely wasn't going to work now.“Baby shark can wait Shannon, mummy has to go and so do you” I pleaded before moving next to the TV.“Uh oh” Rory said tugging Shannon, as though he was urging her sharp mouth to say something.“Mummy..” my meek son called as he tapped on my legs softly, “yes Jayden”He raised his arms urging me to lift him up but this just wasn't the time, despite how cool the weather was, I was damn hot and sweaty with all the running around.“Can we do this later baby? When I'm taking you to daycare” I cooed causing him to whimper in response and just as I moved to catch Shannon who thought it best to climb on the table.Thinking it's a game, Rory and Shannon immediately started running around the house squealing, “You can't catch me mummy”“These kids would be the death of me!” I yelled as I chased Shannon alongside Rory.They were both squealing while Jayden sat down at the corner of the room crying that I give her a piggy back ride.“Uhhh mummy you are just too slow!” I heard Rory tease as ge stood at the other end catching his breath.“Yes mummy, you don't catch me”.“How many times does mummy have to tell Shannon that it's ‘you can't catch me’ and not 'you don't catch me'”She laughed in ignorance before saying, “You can't catch me mummy”.She was right, damn this children were as fast as flash.d no mummy is just warming up” I said while trying to catch my breath.If only Hayden was here then maybe having to deal with them wouldn't have been this difficult.It's been three years since the incident and I had found out that I had been pregnant as at when I had escaped from my pack. We dared for a while and I think I had accepted him because I owed him for his hospitality.He didn't leave though, he was with my through my pregnancy because damn was it hard carrying these three and funny how we didn't know until the day I borthed them.“If you don't stop running, I'll tell Aunty Layla not to come you won't be coming over after school to play with Jamie”.“Aww mummy, that's so mean” Shannon and Rory said simultaneously while Jayden quieted down while I picked him up.I met in Layla in school, after I had just found out j was pregnant, she was there for me admist my pregnancy stages especially when Hayden had to travel out for business.“Will we see Auntie Layla if we be good?” Rory asked meekly and when I nodded, they excitedly ran to the dining and sat down.“What about Uncle Hay?” Alex meekly asked as I sat him down.“What about him?”“Well he's been done for so longgggg!”“Eat now and maybe uncle Hayden would stop by and say hello tomorrow” I whispered and they squealed before digging in.Fun fact was that we leaves together but not together, I had initiated moving out after our break up and the triplets birth but he pleased that the wanted in their lives.He agreed that if living for free didn't go well with me then I could start paying rent which I wasted no time in agreeing with.It brought a smile to my lips whenever theie eyes shone in delight at the mention of Hayden, they all adored him and sometimes called him dada.While spending time with him, I had found out that he had a fiance that had died by suicide with was quite sad but it made me understand why he was so protective of me.He had helped me complete school where I became a doctor in his hospital, he even made me the managing director whilst he moved over to the pharmaceuticals.Thankfully, does to the act that I had studied medicals back at the pack, the knowledge here had made me complete university in three years than six.I owed him more than I could tell, who would believe that the girl who was once a maid back at the pack , betrayed by her people was now a doctor and managing direvtir if the one of teh biggest hospitals in tge world to too tahg the motger of these three naughty kudsMy phone rang and I picked upon seeing the caller I, “I'm guessing mg munchkins are responsible for making you run late today”.“Yes Auntie Layla, indeed Shannon, Jayden and Rory had been naughty and refused breakfast”“Oh mummy I'm almost done with meline” Rory yelled while Shannon struggled to protest with food in her mouth.“You won't be coming in?” She asked with a chuckle.“Just a little bit late and I'm guessing you don't want to see my babies anymore neither does Jamie?” “Stop toying with my babies” she warned before agreeing to cover for me.“Mummy that was so mean” Jayden said softly as he continued eariung seemingly untouched.“Yeah mummy, you are a rat!”.With a chuckle, I packed up my bags and theirs alongside their lunch boxes before we noisily left the house with em trying to control my kids and then trying to prove stubborn.After tucking them in, I finally said “Auntie Layla would pick you up today and you would be sleeping over if you are in your best behavior”Ignoring their whoops, I drove to school and after dropping them off, I went to the office.Aubrey's POV I nodded at the greetings the hospital staff threw my way. “You are late!” Layla stated the obvious, causing me to chuckle, but she added, “Well, Hayden and the shareholders are in the boardroom and have been waiting for you.” “He didn't call me though and why!, I thought he claimed he wasn't coming home soon?” I protested while fastening our steps into the boardroom. “The first thing he should have done was call me”, this time I couldn't hide the outrage from my voice, causing Layla to start her usual teasing. They both learned someone had hurt me from my past, and felt there was a tendency I remembered my past but chose not to pester me. Layla believed my past was the reason I seemed less trusting and found it challenging to express my heart to another. Hayden was the perfect guy for me. She would always sing and make sure she notes how much he loves and cares for my kids. She was human, nevertheless, so I don't blame her for thinking that I could just open my he
Author's POV ‘Why Today?’ Aubrey pondered to herself. Shell-shocked and confused, Aubrey stood at the door with Shannon and Rory standing underneath her skirts while peering at the strange men. She wondered who was Aiden among the two and what the fuck was going on? Why now?, She reflected again in anger. They looked surprised and relatively happy to see her. Their eyes kept her at a standstill as she recognized them… Their scents were practically the same, and the bond they shared made her wolf want to seize the reins of control after all these years. The green-eyed man Aiden was definitely the one that had held her while she had rushed out of her room to the marriage hall; he had also stopped from leaving the wedding before playing the tape. In dread, she wondered if he had been the one to touch her because she had remembered that his hands were so familiar when he held her in the hallway. Now standing in front of them, those feelings past forgotten filled her up, and she fe
Author's POV “Are you okay?” Alicia asked, my already sobbing figure. “No! I'm not, how could I possibly be when their re entrance is a threat to my everyday life, to my kids too”? Alicia let her voice out her feelings before saying, “I know how you feel and the number of thoughts going through your mind, but I just returned because I haven't been feeling strong” “Could we possibly talk tomorrow?” “If you don't want them seeing me, then you could possibly come over so we could talk about how we'd move forward”, She added. Guilt flooded Aubrey's heart as she realized that it's been long since she had checked up on her, Alicia was there alongside Layla and Hayden but only in the shadows. They had both felt that if Alicia had approached her then Hayden would have asked to know about her, to which Aubrey wouldn't have any explanation for…after all, he believed that she had lost her memory. “You could come around tomorrow, Alicia” Aubrey said quietly. “Isn’t Hayden around?” She a
Aubrey's POV I laid in Hayden's arms as we watched alongside the kids a movie which was our normal Sunday afternoon routine. Most at time, it was just I and the kids as Hayden was mostly out of town…whenever his absence afcceye my daily routine I can’t help but feel like we have already taken over his life. It's been three years since our first meeting and two years and a few months since I had broken whatever had but still he never left my side. My excuse back then was that he was too good for me and I was scared of the I tenacity of what we had shared…stupid but he agreed to the breakup but refused letting me go. My wolf stirred angrily at my thoughts, I didn't blame her though…I was yet to have coknectd with her when Aiden ans his look a like thought it wise to use me as a pawn. Hayden squeezed my shoulders softly before pulling me into his warmth causing me to smile. He was really too good for me…too good to be true. There were times where I couldn't help but note how scary
Author's POV Everything was moving too fast and he knew he had to act fast. He had known for the longest of times that she hadn't lost her memory and was okay with it. Aubrey didn't know, but he had been long aware of the exact moment the two men had started looking for her…he had swayed them off trail for the longest of times. What he didn't expect was for the appearance of these men to affect Aubrey the way it did, he had listened to her tears that night and held back from being the comfort that she needed. Last time she had broken up with him from being too much but this time he would rather not be just her boyfriend…he wanted to marry her, and he had waited long enough to propose…he just needed the right time, and it never came. Until now… Patience was the key like it was said, but the reappearance of these men was going to ruin his place in Aubrey's life. He knew way more than Aubrey thought he did. His nonchalance has been the cost of his fiancé's death, and he wasn't g

Aubrey's POVI knew deep down it was going to lead to this one day but for the first time in a long while I was speechless.My decision here was going to change a lot I knew and that was prob what Layla was talking about.“I know you are probably contemplating…” he began pulling me out of my misery.My wolf hated this and I didn't blame her, we weren't programmed to be with another other than our mates.Even though they had hurt us…we still felt the bond tug against my decision.“I would be a liar if I say it's okay if you say no, I don't want to guilt trip you into making an decision but form the first time I had met my eyes on you, j knew what I wanted”.I wish I knew what I wanted too, I thought to myself with my eyes still glued at him.“Watching you unconscious that day with a xeal ro life changed my life in ways you didn't know how” he contuined.“I never told you this but I had gome that far in the woods ro end my life, I had it all fame, power, money, connection but i lacked w
