MiaI felt bad for the triplets. They would never forget this birthday of theirs no matter how long they lived. Things had gotten messy and it was about to get messier.The way Albert was looking at them, I was afraid he was about to fly off the handle and lash out at the boys. I had to talk. I had to do something. No matter how angry Albert was, I knew he wouldn't lash out at me. I was the only one who could do this impending confession session without making everything go out of proportion. "Don't blame the boys. It is all my fault." I confessed.He looked at me, staring at me in disbelief. I knew he would find it hard to believe me. He would think that I was trying to protect them or worse, think that I had been threatened by them to lie on their behalf.I thought hard, wondering what I would say to make him believe me. I didn't know of anything and realized that I just had to come up with the truth."I met the dark wizard before your wedding. It was the weekend the triplets came

Quinn We were back at work but we weren't going to stay for long. We were just here to get approval to be absent from work for a while. We had already written and sent a letter to our superior and I didn't think that we were going to be denied.The man was dad's friend and even though he wasn't a werewolf like we were, he knew about our world and knew that we wouldn't have asked to be excused for reasons that were not good.We were here to ask for permission to leave officially and also tidy up some loose ends before we leave on a holiday that we had no idea of when it was going to end.It would be a mess if the others didn't see us come back and we just left without a formal record of our request for an extension of leave. The other officers would be angry and hate that we were getting preferential treatment. Our boss wouldn't like that and I didn't like that either. I hated it when others underestimated my powers and thought I was just lucky.The major looked at the three of us st

Mia"What is wrong with you, Mia?" I jumped as my boss shouted at me. What was wrong with him? He hadn't done that before. I wasn't even shocked at his shouting even though he hadn't done that before. He was shouting at me over what he hadn't done before. I wasn't expecting this attitude from him."Is there a problem, sir?" I asked him, my hands pausing on the keypads and I frowned as I pulled my eyes away from the screen to look at him."You are the problem, Mia." He hissed at me. I was taken aback. Where was this coming from? We didn't have any issues. We had laughed as we departed the previous day and he had even promised to get me a gift today, teasing me that I was one of the employees he liked. I didn't know where this attitude was coming from. He was acting strange and I didn't know what was wrong with him. I didn't think we had a fight this morning as well.How could I be the problem? I sighed. How possible was it that someone who liked you would suddenly tell you that you

MiaThe cat sat on the window sill and mewed, his black eyes shining as it stared at me. I shivered, holding on to myself with my arms as the cold dealt with me. I was cold and yet it felt like I was hot. It was hot. It was strange and I couldn't deal with it.I cursed at myself, wondering why I had chosen to wear the gown I had on. I had on one of the strapless gowns that the triplets had bought for me that I couldn't have rejected because they had given me in the presence of my mum.I scoffed, telling myself that I was being silly. I couldn't have worn that gown even if I had a gun to my head. Asides the gown that mum had forced me to wear then when the triplets had invited me to a party, I didn't think I had ever worn any of the other gowns. I had packed it somewhere so I wouldn't even be tempted to wear them.I wouldn't have worn a gown as light as this when I knew that I would be coming to a place as light as this. I didn't even bring a coat with me. What was I thinking?I frowned

MiaThe boys finally moved in and we got settled to business. I avoided looking at Quinn all through the meeting as I couldn't get over the news I had heard about him. I couldn't stop imagining seeing the grim reaper behind him. Albert growled at them. "Why were you late?"Jack grinned in his usual carefree manner. "We saw Mia walk into the study and we thought to give the two of you some father-daughter bonding time."Albert and I scoffed at the same time at his words and then smiled at each other. I knew they wouldn't have been late to show up without a good reason. If only they hadn't done that, I wouldn't have asked Albert any question and wouldn't have known what I did. I wouldn't be tempted to look at him with pity as I wanted to do and I knew doing that was the fastest way for me to get my head off my neck.Quinn hated pity and wouldn't tolerate it if I looked at him with pity. Even if he liked me to the moon and back, he would have dealt with me."Let's get to business." Albe
