Alexander's

POV

I paced around the room as I waited for Xander to arrive. Emma has made it clear that she didn't want to see us or be near us. She hates our guts. Julian was occasionally throwing a ball against the wall while Philip was sitting quietly. We had asked Xander to speak with Emma when we heard he went to visit his cousin and Emma was also there.

"Took you long enough," Julian said as soon as Xander walked in.

"Something came up. Why? Were you anxious for my return?" he replied with a smirk.

"Cut the crap. What did she say?" I asked curiously as I walked towards him. We all sat on the sofas.

"Can I get a glass of wine? I'm so thirsty," he muttered. I clenched my jaw angrily.

"Should you be drinking by this time? It's still early," Philip replied.

"Thank you for being so concerned about my health but I'm fine. Is someone getting it or not?" he inquired.

"It won't take you anything to speak before drinking Xander," I grumbled.

"My throat hurts. Only wine can soothe it," he said

Philip and Julian glanced toward me.

"Me? I have to get it?" I asked in disbelief. They both shrugged. I can't believe this. I was the Alpha here and they keep sending me on errands.

"Be quick Alex. Don't keep me waiting," Xander said in a sing-song voice. I sighed and got up. I walked towards the kitchen and got the wine.

"Alpha, let me get it," an omega hurriedly said bowing down.

"It's fine," I replied, taking the wine and glass towards the living room. I tossed the bottle to him.

"Careful, it's fragile," he said with a wide smile.

"Didn't you bring any snacks? Are you not aware that it's bad to drink on an empty stomach?" he inquired with a frown.

"While you are in it, bring two more glasses. Thanks, brother," Julian said with a wide smile. I sighed out of frustration. I walked towards the kitchen again and brought out three more wine glasses. I quickly whisked up some snacks and went back again. I dropped them on the table.

"Thank you so much. You are as caring as ever," Xander said. I narrowed my eyes on him. He opened the bottle and poured the content into each of our glasses.

"So?" Julian inquired.

"Well, Emma is Ximena now. She vehemently insisted I address her by that name and she hates your guts. That's what I could depict from our conversation," he replied as he sipped his wine.

I knew it. She was really angry with us. And she was also married with kids. What the hell was I thinking asking Xander to speak with her? Everything was clearly over now. There's nothing we can do anymore. The realization of that hurt so much that it was getting harder to breathe.

"What do we do now?" Philip asked worriedly.

"I feel like this is a lost cause now unless a miracle happens, Emma will never forgive you all. That's just the bitter truth," Xander replied.

"We can't do that. How can you say that?" Julian asked.

"What do you want to do? Take her away from her husband?" Xander inquired. We all sat quietly as we listened to him. Deep down, we all knew he was saying the truth. I sipped my wine silently when I suddenly felt a sharp pang in my chest. I gently dropped the glass. I groaned when the pain was starting to get worse.

"Alex? You good?" Xander asked as he glanced at me.

I could feel sweat trickling down my brows. I thought the pain had subsided. Why did it come all of a sudden? My face contorted into pain. I leaned into the chair. I felt them quickly standing up.

"Alex, what's going on? Is it the pain again?" Julian asked worriedly. I nodded in response.

"Xander, quickly get a glass of water," Philip said. Xander nodded and walked towards the kitchen.

"Are you still taking that medicine? Don't lie because we know you are. I thought you told us you had stopped," Philip said to me.

"I'm still taking it. I didn't have any other choice," I muttered.

"What the actual hell man? Do you want to die?" Julian asked in disbelief.

"Do you think I wanted this too? I took it once in a while," I replied.

"I'm getting mum, she will know what to do," Philip said.

"Don't. The pain will go away with time," I responded. I had been taking herbal drugs together with Julian and Philip to calm our wolves down immediately we rejected Emma and she left. They both stopped after a while but I couldn't because I was married to someone that was not my mate. Hailey. My wolf protested often and I had to use the medicine to calm him down. It helped me get by for the past six years except that I was warned that it had some serious side effects which were beginning to show in my body. I heard that it could even end up killing me.

Having to suppress one's wolf for a very long time required effective medicine that was bad for the health. I could not risk Mum replaceing out about this.

"What Pain?" Mum asked. We all turned towards her in surprise.

"Mum, you are here," Philip muttered.

"Of course I am," she replied, walking towards us.

"I'm sorry I took so long, here's the water," Xander said as he hurriedly brought the glass of water. I glared at him. Talk about wrong timing. He glanced at Mum. "Aunty, you are also here," he said.

"Why does everyone keep saying that? Are you boys doing something I should not be aware of?" she asked skeptically. We all glanced at each other quietly. Xander seemed to have understood the situation, so he quickly stepped in.

"It's all my fault. I made them drink too much so early in the morning. Alex is just drunk which is why he looks pale," he explained pointing towards the wine bottle. At that moment, I silently commended Xander for suggesting the drinking of wine. "Why would you do that? It's bad to drink early," she scolded.

"Sorry Aunty," he mumbled meekly. I scoffed. He was only this docile with our mum.

"You should behave more responsibly. All of you. Xander, have you found your mate yet or someone suitable to be your Luna? Want to go on blind dates?" Mum inquired.

"No Aunty, I don't want that," he hurriedly refused.

"Why not? I spoke to your father and he was worried about this same issue. I'm going to set you up for blind dates. Who knows? You might replace your missing rib there," she retorted.

"But..."

"No buts, I will do it and you have to go for it," she cut him off firmly. He nodded begrudgingly. We all snickered. It felt good to see him looking so tired. Serves him right for sending me on errands.

"Boys, I actually came to speak to you about something," she said seriously.

"Why? Are we in trouble? I promise I only drank one glass of wine," Julian hurriedly said.

"This isn't about that. Although, we will still have a discussion about your alcohol intake," she replied.

"This is about Emma. She's Emma isn't she?" Mum inquired, glancing at us. Why was she asking us questions about Emma? Did she perhaps replace out anything?

"Yes she is but the accident made her lose her memories which was why she didn't remember any of us," Philip responded.

"I knew that was the only explanation for all this. But, are you sure she didn't recognize you all?" she inquired.

"What?" Julian asked. I didn't say anything. My chest still hurts and besides, I wouldn't know what to say.

"I saw the glances you all exchanged and the tension between her and Hailey. I'm not stupid. Did something happen between you all in the past that I'm not aware of? Don't lie to me," she said. Xander coughed out loud. "Sorry, I think I choked on something. Father called earlier, I should call him back," he said and hurried outside.

"Well?" Mum probed after Xander left.

"What could have happened between us?" Julian chuckled trying to joke about the situation so she could forget about it.

"Answer me. I'm sure something much more happened between you. I had initially thought it was just friendship but connecting the dots now, with what happened yesterday, I'm completely sure it's more than that," she insisted firmly.

I'm sure she won't let go of this issue. We won't be able to maneuver our way out this time. It's better we just come clean. I'm getting tired of the lies and secrets. She might even be able to help us talk to Emma and get me out of this messy marriage. "It's..," I started, ready to spill everything to her.

"What are you all talking about?" Hailey asked as she sits beside me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and placed her head on my chest.
