The remembrance of Cedric brought a trace of anger down Braelyn's spine.
That bastard not only took advantage of her when she tried to help him, he shamed her and kicked her out, which resulted in her leaving White Flake Pack.The least she could do to get revenge was to mess up his expensive car.Had it been she knew, she would have kicked that monstrous thing of his to the curb, but it was too late to cry over spilled milk. Besides, she cherished her life so much, okay?That damn Cedric was a very ruthless person. She knew he would literally ask his guard to drain her into a pool of water if she dared to kick that thing of his.One day, Braelyn had nearly fallen into Cedric's hands some years ago. She went out to buy some things for the kids only to see his handsome fgure approaching his car. Braelyn could only hide because she was afraid that that person would strangle her because of his car.Braelyn sighed in relief when she arrived at the house. She was about to unlock the door when she felt that something was amiss. The smile on her face was soon replaced with a frown."How come the door lock is broken? It's fne when I leave." Braelyn muttered to herself, but she soon brushed it off and entered the apartment."Babies, mommy is back!" She yelled.Braelyn dropped all that she brought at the table with a hum when she was rewarded with silence.Thinking that the triplet had begun their hide and seek, Braelyn yelled loudly. "Sage, Henry Liam, come down momma's back!" Braelyn yelled loudly once more while she began to check the house, chuckling to herself as she opened the kid's room door, the store, and the kitchen.The triplets were getting better in hide and seek…' Braelyn thought as she opened the door to her room, but she suddenly paled before she could complete her words."TRIPLET!"Braelyn yelled as she opened her closet, bathroom, etc. but the triplet wasn't there.She ran back to the sitting room with a pounding heart and yelled again. "Triplet." But only her voice echoed in the apartment. Her eyes widened, the kids had disappeared!Soon Braelyn saw a fnger mark on the sofa.A sign that the kids were struggling earlier, there was even a faint blood print on the foor.Remembering the broken lock and piercing everything together, Braelyn could only have one thought:the triplet has been kidnapped!Before Braelyn could descend into her thoughts, a loud ringing of her phone brought her to life.Braelyn with trembling hands picked up the call from the manager, "Manager Leo?" Braelyn called with a trembling voice"Braelyn?" Manager Leo called anxiously after hearing the trembling in her voice.A few minutes later, the police arrived at Braelyn's apartment."So you said what?" The policeman asked her languidly"My children were kidnapped in my absence…" Braelyn said and gave them all the details of how it happened with tears in her eyesManager Leo was also present, he was the one who brought the police after Braelyn explained all that happened to the triplet in her absence."Can we see the triplet pictures?" One of the policemen demanded.Braelyn was trembling as she brought the triplet's picture to the police."So can you tell us the details of your morning, please?" One of the policemen questioned while others checked the apartment to see if they can fnd any cluesAfter a few minutes, a policeman approached her with a gentle smile. "Miss, we couldn't fnd any clues that something like this happened, if not for a broken lock but we would do our capable best to fnd the triplets." The policemen informed her which made tears slipped from her eyes.After collecting all the details they would, the policemen took their leave.Braelyn immediately bent down and wrapped her arms around herself tightly, her eyes were clouded with tears but Manager Leo bent down to hug her. "Don't cry, the kids would be found." He tried to comfort her.But it only ended up making her cry more as she remembered all that happened, "The triplet wanted to follow me to the supermarket this morning but I asked them to stay. If I let them follow me, none of this would have happened. It's all my fault. It's all my fault." Braelyn cried out.Her heart was flled with pain. The children haven't eaten this morning, they'd surely be hungry, as they are just fve years old. There was blood stains on the foor, which of the triplet had the blood?Sage was always afraid of seeing blood, would she faint in fright? The more Braelyn thought about this, the more her tears fall from her cheeks.She hugged Manager Leo tearfully, her body was trembling in fright. "What do I do Manager Leo? What do I do without the kids?" Braelyn cried out tearfully. The sadness ate her deeply."How do I live without them?" The triplet was the reason Braelyn pushed herself this far."Everything was hard but whenever I thought about them, I tried to push on. Who kidnapped the triplets? Why? I'm always carefree, I offended no one." Braelyn cried out, her tears wetting Manager Leo's shirt.Manager Leo, the forty years old man sighed, he was also overwhelmed with sadness. After all, the triplets were his godchildren."Don't worry too much! The policemen will fnd the triplets" Manager Leo tried to comfort her but Braelyn pulled away from him aggressively."Do you hear what the policeman said?" Braelyn asked with quivering lips. Her tears were streaming down her cheeks but she made no aim to wipe them away. "Even the police couldn't fnd any clues.""Don't. Don't lose hope. The policemen haven't checked the CCTV yet. Perhaps, there will be good news when they do. Don't cry or else the triplet will be unhappy if they see you like this."Manager Leo comforted and once he saw that she was calm compared to before, he decided to leave in hopes to check on Braelyn laterFour days later, Braelyn arrived at White Flake Pack.Braelyn never knew she would be coming back here after she left here six years ago but she had no choiceMiss to be truthful, we are yet to fnd a lead, you can only be patient, until we fnd something. The policeman's voice resounded in her head.Braelyn knew the policemen were being truthful and was working hard on the triplet's case; whoever the kidnapper was had done a good job, she didn't even catch a scent of whoever it was, and the only evidence that something had happened was the blood print and trace of struggles.And the policemen had taken the blood print and every fngerprint that could be captured but all of them belonged to none but her kidsThe kidnappers not only did everything to erase their traces but they were smart enough to tamper with the building CCTV and the streets.Braelyn was sure that it would take time for the police to fnd her missing triplet so she can only go to Cedric.Cedric was their father and he wa
"Two minutes left." Cedric's deep voice sounded in her ears which made Braelyn grit her teeth in anxiousness.If it was up to her, she'd sit down to have a talk with Cedric but having no choice, Braelyn closed her eyes and yelled with a pounding heart, "I have a triplet after the one-night stand six years ago; they belong to you." She uttered which made him freeze."Triplet?" Cedric snapped out of it and asked, filled with amusement.He eyed Braelyn and suddenly chuckled, "Are you sick?" He spat out and stared at her coldly because that was what he could think about.After all, to Cedric, Braelyn's words sounded fake in his ears.In the beginning, Cedric thought Braelyn was back in the pack for a good reason, but he never expected her to want to weave a lie to him instead.She never changed even after six years!Braelyn quickly shook her head and stepped forward with sincerity and anxiety in her face, "Cedric, please listen to me, I'm telling you the truth. I daren't weave a lie to yo
"What's wrong with you?" The clueless Wyatt asked."Why did you let her into the pack?" A furious Cedric growled at him, almost making him jump.If it wasn't for seeing Braelyn, Killian wouldn't be angry and howling to see Braelyn and fight him at the same time.Even sitting wasn't an easy job for Cedric because Killian kept on fighting with him to take over his physical form to look for Braelyn."I didn't even recognize it was her," Wyatt said and leaned forward, a flirty smile on his face. "She looked so hot. Did you still have a thing for her…""Touch my mate, and I'll throw you to the rogue." A furious Killian banged the table and snarled at Wyatt with a murderous growlWyatt was stunned, and he almost fell due to shock, "Calm down, Killian. I don't have the intent to touch Braelyn." He said, which made Killian back down.Beta Wyatt sighed in relief after Killian withdrew his murderous feeling. He suddenly took a glance at the office, and yet he didn't catch Braelyn or a whiff of
Wyatt shrugged, not finding that a big deal. After all, the both of them had a one-night-stand before, so it's possible for that to happen, "Why would she lie about to you anyway? When she knows that you're the Alpha and you could reveal her secret in the blink of an eye? Will she purposely bait herself after six years?" Wyatt asked.This time Cedric was quiet and didn't reply to Wyatt. He couldn't help thinking that what Wyatt said was true."Even if you're in love with my sister, does that mean you shouldn't take responsibility for your actions?" Wyatt asked.He suddenly snorted with a ridiculing tone, "And I thought you were richer than that." He mocked and still Cedric stayed quiet.Receiving no response, Wyatt snorted and decided not to talk to Cedric anymore. And immediately an awkward silence filled the car. Cedric rubbed his forehead, feeling confused and rational at the same time.He couldn't help thinking of what he'd do if it was true that Braelyn got pregnant and gave birt
Braelyn sighed in relief and plastered herself to the car door. However, she stole a gaze at him with hesitation, "He told me that six years ago, but he was the one to jump on me. Perhaps he's drunk again?""Braelyn." Cedric snapped in anger, which made her jump in fear."Sorry, I just need to confirm before someone says I threw myself and schemed at him when he had CCTV to discover the truth." She whispered, but her voice was loud enough for him to hear.Cedric suddenly grabbed her chin which made her tremble. "He's about to get out of hand again." She whispered fearfully which made him more infuriated."If you don't shut up, I'll kick you out of here and that'll be the last time you'll ever come across me." He threatened which made her keep her mouth shut.Coincidentally, the car had arrived at the car park, so he got down after muttering to Braelyn to follow him.Immediately, Braelyn also got down from the car and began to follow Cedric. Soon the both of them were back at Cedric's
Braelyn shook her head in reply, "I don't know either. It began when they clocked one-year-old but because of the attraction their superpowers could cause I was afraid to take them to a hospital to check on them. I'm powerless and poor, and it made me afraid that they could be snatched from me by the council if their power were discovered." She replied seriously which made him clench his fist knowing she was right.Cedric sighed after hearing Braelyn's explanation. Even though he wasn't there to experience all that she had gone through and Braelyn hadn't recounted everything to him, Cedric knew that Braelyn must have gone through a lot, trying to raise the triplet.Cedric frowned upon thinking about the council's matter.The council was created to take over the investigation of abnormal encounters, things and criminal activities, etc. but just like every organization, it had also been eaten by corruption so knowing such a secret of the triplet is truly dangerous especially when Braely
"Braelyn." Cedric gritted his teeth. Without warning, he suddenly pulled her, and before she knew it, she fell on his lap.Braelyn's heart began to pound against her chest in fright, and she stared at him defensively, "Are you losing control again?" She questioned him while eyeing him with a weird gaze which sent anger rocking through him.All the traces of lust he held in that minute quickly disappeared without a trace. Without any care for her, he pushed her away from his lap, almost making the poor Braelyn fall.Braelyn glared at him angrily. "You pulled me and pushed me when you like, are you mad?" She glared at him with her chest heaving up and down"Mad?" Cedric spat out and stood up. His figure towered over her which made her swallow nervously. She took a step back in fear while he approached."Tell me who presented herself in front of me with just a towel?" He growled which almost made her slap him due to anger.He was the one who asked her to take a bath because he claimed th
Braelyn's lips quivered and tears pooled to her eyes as she stared at Cedric. She bit her lower lips and shook her head. Her eyes were filled with remorse and tears pooled in her eyes, "How can I eat when I was the reason they were kidnapped? They wanted to come with me to the supermarket, but I refused. They all suggested going, but I refused them that morning. Only if I had let them come with me, none of those would've happened. They would be in school studying by now. I won't be here." She mumbled with a voice laced with pain, tears streaming down her cheeks.Braelyn raised her hand to wipe the tears off, her shoulder trembling. She chuckled pathetically and looked at him. "So what right do I have to eat? I don't know what their condition is, and I'm also powerless to find them…"Cedric sighed upon seeing Braelyn bawling in his presence. He couldn't help blaming himself for his rash actions three days ago, only if he knew it was as serious as this, he'd have patiently heard what sh
