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 asked, cutting Aubrey off.
“No, he's to take the triplets out”
Talking to her had helped realize the tension she was starting to feel.
Holding unto Jay tightly, Aubrey soon fell asleep.
Upon waking up, there was no one home including the triplets, but rather a piece of paper was placed by her bedside.
He explained in the letter that he was taking them out to give her time to recover.
Aubrey smiled at his message and was sure that this was the reason she would rather not trade the live we have now with the life, she knew Aiden would have offered.
The fact that they were her mates was also something that caused a strain on her mental health.
She got up and began doing the house chores before preparing breakfast for herself, the house almost looked funny as all through the morning she hadn't yelled her babies names.
Alicia comes over by mid-afternoon, by then her nerves were already calm.
After serving her, Aubrey thanked her for being such a good support system and even asked if she wanted to stay a little while to get to meet the kids.
She chuckled and said, “The life I'm currently living now doesn't permit all these, but I'm grateful”.
We were roommates back at the pack and excluding the fact that she had saved her, we were never so close as Aubrey was always a castaway while she always kept to herself.
“About Aiden…” Alicia started and gave her full attention, I'd do anything right now to get him out of my life.
“He had approached me during my last visits to tender a message across, but I had bluntly refused”
“Even when he asked if I knew where you lived, even though he was my Alpha, I told him nothing still”
“He must have come all the way over here and searched from city to city” she stared and Aubrey didn't want to underestimate the power they wielded.
She asked Aubrey once again to express her ordeal and she did.
She then realized what Alicia was doing because the more they talked about it, the more relief he felt.
Having been found that there were two Aiden's shook her, and she took note of the fact that she hadn't told her anything about Two Aiden then it meant she knew nothing.
“The more you talk about him, the more power you give him over your thoughts”.
“You would be surprised to know that he won't stop until he gets what he wants,”
Aubrey noted that she made reference to Aiden as a person, meanwhile she had seen two right in front of him.
“Never show him weakness, it fuels their needs to be more man than Hayden can ever be.
Never show weakness!
Be strong on your resolve so you don't give him another chance to enter!
These were easy tasks which Aubrey was certain that Aiden and his twin would back off if she followed through, she knew what could possibly go wrong.
Aubrey did what she advised and, to her greatest surprise, rather than leaving like she had said, Aiden and his other twin made more attempts to have her talk to him and to which she refused.
She couldn't help it, but anytime Aubrey saw him, she was constantly reminded of his cruelty and the treatment that him and her ill fate had brought Her.
Aubrey wanted nothing to do with him and the reason was quite obvious, she had a good life going for me, and she won't let anyone spoil her rosy life.
She had Hayden and the triplets, a job that oasis her bills, here she wasn't some weak and sorry omega with no say.
Aubrey wondered if they were there to take them away from her because they had the triplet blood coursing through their veins.
She had tried to let her past remain behind her, and it was only a figment of her memory, but with the sudden arrival of the Alpha twins, she is confused as to how they doubled all of a sudden.
Aubrey was aware that she had sex with Aiden, or was it Aiden?
The thoughts and possibility of it not being Aiden lingered In her mind.
***
Aiden was confused and scared that it would all be a waste.
He had been trying so much to get through her, but no matter how much he tried, she just didn't wait to hear him out.
Their plan wasn't going accordingly to plan, and the fact of his people rested on her shoulders.
Time was of essence.
Just a few months after she had left, he found his long-lost Twin brother and Damon had recounted everything to him.
How he had been the one that was intimate With Aubrey.
Damon never told him the reason, but Aiden felt that it was his way to prevent him from being Alpha…too bad it didn't work.
They had already caused such a big turmoil in her life.
He wondered how shock she will be to find two of him. He felt more than sorry about the pain he had caused her, and she was left to bear the brunt of this.
After she had left and presumed dead, having sex with any girl especially omegas made him to think about her.
His mind was fixated on her, and he couldn't stop thinking about her, and he longed for her in his arms.
Aiden knew that If he told her the truth she wouldn't want to come back to the Pack. But he could do anything just for her to come back, although she wasn't budging.
An idea suddenly flashed to his mind, “The triplets”.
Aubrey’s POVI stay silent after Ellie’s actions not wanting to get into a fight with her or anyone else for that matter. I’d done a lot of that and all I wanted right now was to be with my family and spend the night with them after being away for a while. “I’ll take it that you’re drunk and you have no control over your emotions right now,” I said, wiping my face as I stared at her. “Fuck you, bitch. How dare you—“ “You need to stop, Ellie. I’m not your enemy and I’ve never been. If you say Aiden is slowly drifting away from you then you ought to check yourself and figure out what the problem is because you can’t say I’m unworthy of being put in the same sentence with you and then turn around to say I’m taking your husband away from you. It makes no fucking sense and you know it.” My words magically seem to shut her up and all she did was scowl at me. I felt sorry for her but she was at the bottom of the things I needed to worry about. “Get a grip on yourself and go to bed,” I a

Aubrey’s POVI frankly didn’t know what to make of it after the old man introduced himself with a frightened smile, his words were mumbled so it was difficult to make out what his name was. I thought about engaging him in a small conversation but I decided not to. There were a lot of things going on in my life right now and I didn’t want to add any extra luggage on top of the whole mess. Whatever was going on with him, I could always take care of it later. Hayden had left immediately after the man left and I was all alone which meant it was the perfect time to see my sons and catch up on old times. Most importantly, I needed to run tests on them, especially Lucien. I had to know if the vaccine had failed or if it still kept its effectiveness like the results said it would. I made my way past the living room and I was visibly surprised to see Ellie sitting next to the kitchen counter, her arms crossed on her chest, a bottle of red wine and a glass cup sat next to it. She was an ea
Aubrey’s POVI groaned as I opened my eyes slowly. The walls around me were white and there was a distinctive smell in the air that told me I was in a hospital and suddenly, the memories came rushing back. I remembered seeing Damon ripping a man’s head off his shoulders in one clean swoop and I remember the way I screamed while passing out. It kind of felt embarrassing remembering the whole thing now but seeing as I’d been in a rather critical situation, it had been bound to happen. The room was empty but I noticed that there were plates of food kept at my bedside and the couches in the room looked like they’d been slept on. They've all been worried about me when I passed out and if they brought me to the hospital, it meant that it’d have been something critical that needed the best treatment. I hadn’t seen my kids in a while and I knew they’d be worried about my whereabouts. They were extremely sensitive and if anything, they’d know I’d been in grave danger. I tried to push mysel
Mark’s POV“Utter woke nonsense! I will not support this foolishness and I want to warn all of you here to desist from raising this issue with our Alpha!” I slammed my fist on the table, making the men sitting around it flinch.They were making no sense with this idea of theirs and I wasn’t going to let it stand. I’d been quite silent on pack matters because I’d been busy with several things but after clearing my schedule to be present here today, everything felt foreign, much to my disgust.“You’re overreacting, Mark. There’s nothing foolish about this decision and you know it.” Elder John said, wagging his finger in my face. “Humor me, John. Tell me why you think this decision that you’ve all decided to go with isn’t a stupid one. I’ll wait for you to give me one credible reason.” I said, leaning into my chair and waiting for him to speak. “The only reason you’re against this idea is because of the rift your daughter has with the person in question. If it were to be anyone else, y
Aiden’s POVI may not like Hayden but at that point, we needed every available wolf or man, in his case. I shared a nod with Damon and he backed down from being aggressive with Hayden. “You’ll listen to me at all times. Do not do anything without my permission, do you understand me, Hayden?” I asked. “Yes,” Hayden nodded. That was all I needed as we all hurried out of the room and rushed downstairs. “Is everyone ready to leave?” I asked Damon as I made my way into the car, held open by one of the guards. “Yes, our best fighters are ready and waiting for your command, Aiden,” Damon answered as he joined me in the car. Hayden decided to join a couple of my wolves at the back of the truck and I urged them to keep an eye on him. I hit the roof of the car twice and the engine roared to life, the driver stepped on the accelerator and the car raced out of the parking lot. My fears hadn’t toned down yet but for the first time, I was optimistic about finding Aubrey and bringing her ho
