Owned By Her Triplet Bullies
Chapter 113

Hailey's

POV

I tip-toed towards the back door of the pack house in hopes that nobody saw me coming in. I glanced around to make sure they were no crawling omegas around before closing the door and gently walking in. I sighed in relief when I saw the door to my room literally staring at me.

"Hailey," someone called before I could push the doorknob and enter. I froze in shock. Should I just pretend like I didn't hear her? Why did she have to come out now? "Where did you go? I've been searching for you," Mum said.

"Uhmm. I...uh..," I stuttered wanting to come up with an excuse.

"What? Are you alright? Why are you sweating so much?" she inquired gently, holding onto my hand.

"I'm fine. I just went for a run," I lied. But why did it feel different this time? I felt kind of guilty for lying to her. This was so unlike me. She smiled.

"You should have told me earlier, I might have come along. Come down after you get dressed. Our guests would be here soon," she said before walking off.

"Mum?" I called out to her. She turned around towards me.

"I've been curious. The council never pestered Alex and me about having an heir after that day. Did you have something to do with it?" I asked.

"Of course. Nobody messes with my children and goes scot-free," she replied.

"What did you do and how?" I inquired curiously.

"It doesn't matter. What matters is that it's done. You don't have to worry about anything anymore. You and Alex can take your time but don't take too much time. I don't want to get old before meeting my grandkids," she joked. I forced a smile. I walked into my room after she left.

I picked up a little red gown from my closet. Emma was coming in with her family today, we might be hosting a family indoor dinner but it didn't stop me from dressing up. I wouldn't want to look like a pauper in front of Emma. It was a competition. I'm sure she would also try to outshine me this time again. I won't let what happened at that charity ball happen again. I matched the dress with a pair of diamond earrings, necklaces, and rings.

This dinner was going to be so much fun for me. I can't wait to see the triplet's faces when Emma brings her husband and kids along. It was going to be the moment I've always wished for. The moment they realize they can never get back together again. I wore my heels and took a final spin in the mirror before walking out of my room. Everyone was busy decorating and arranging. The doorbell suddenly rang. "They are here," Mum announced.

"I will get it," I replied before happily going to open the door. My smile faltered when I saw who was at the door.

"It's you," I muttered.

"Yes, shouldn't we be here?" Xander asked. He was standing outside with John and his wife. I never liked Ria, she behaved too boldly and fearlessly.

"I never said so. I just was not expecting to see you all here," I replied.

"Your mother-in-law invited us over, Luna Hailey," John said mockingly. I was so angry at that moment. Why did Mum have to invite all these people? They are not even needed here. Just a waste of space. They made me get excited about nothing.

"If you will excuse me, it's freezing outside and I can't keep standing. I believe we don't have to fake any likeness or greeting amongst ourselves right?" she asked rhetorically as she nudged my shoulder with hers before walking inside. Some people didn't like me but they only spoke rudely behind my back but with Ria, she spoke however she wanted even though I was Luna now. I glared at her back angrily ready to reply when Xander and John also walked in.

"Honey, let me get your jacket," John said as he helped Ria remove her jacket and hung it up. I scoffed.

"Xander, Ria, John. Glad you could make it," Mum said as she gave each of them a hug.

"Mrs. Martinez. You look as lovely as always. You will have to tell me your secret before we leave," Ria said. They all laughed and joked around while they kept me on the sidelines. The doorbell rang again. I quickly opened the door and I felt satisfied when the person I had been expecting all night finally arrived. I looked at her long white plain dress and no jewelry with satisfaction.

"Emma, glad you could make it," I said with a fake smile but I noticed her shrug as if I wasn't speaking to her.

"Can we enter Aunty? It's cold outside," the little girl in front of her said before Emma could speak.

"Sure," I said before opening the door wider for them. I could also see Cole beside them.

"Glad you could join us Cole," I said to him as we shook hands.

"It's an honor to be here," he replied.

"Emma," Mum called out happily. She hugged her fondly. Ria pulled Emma aside as they talked and laughed. I suddenly asked myself if she had regain her consciousness but I knew it was impossible because she wouldn't have come here if she had. "Good evening Mrs. Martinez. Nice to meet you and thank you for inviting us," Cole said as he handed her a bag of gifts.

"You didn't have to. It's really fine," Mum politely declined.

"Please accept it. We couldn't come empty-handed," Emma pleaded. Mum nodded before accepting the gifts.

"And these must be Mason and Madison. They are so much cuter in person," Mum gushed.

"You know us?" The girl, Madison asked.

"Of course. Your mummy told me all about you two. I couldn't wait to meet you," she replied.

"I like you, you are very nice," Madison said. They all laughed as we walked into the living room. We met Julian and Philip but Alex was nowhere to be found.

"Where is Alex?" I inquired.

"Shouldn't we be asking you that question? He's your husband after all," Ria retorted. She was seriously starting to get on my nerves.

"He went to take care of some things in his office. He will be here shortly," Julian said to Mum. She nodded in response. I could feel the tension between Cole, Julian, and Philip. It honestly felt so good to see Emma's husband here. Since everyone's spouses were here, it would stop wandering eyes from where it's not supposed to be.

"Are you both twins like us? You are both so good-looking," Madison said in awe.

"No, we are triplets," Alex said walking towards us.

"Triplets? That is so cool," she muttered. Alex bent towards them.

"What is your name princess?" he asked. We all looked at him in shock. What was going on? He never talked unless it was important but now he was making small talk with a child.

"Madison but my friends call me Mady," she replied.

"Well, hi Mady, I'm Alex and that is Julian and Philip," he said with a smile.

"Do you both have that weird connection too? Mason can always tell what I'm thinking," she said.

"Madison, don't pester him with your questions," Emma said to her.

"It's fine. I don't mind," Alex said without looking at her.

"We do have that connection sometimes but it's always annoying. They are both troubled. I have to constantly take care of them," Julian chipped in.

"Who takes care of whom over here?" Philip retorted. What was going on? I had been expecting fights and arguments. Why were they joking around? I noticed the boys haven't looked towards Emma or Cole since they arrived.

"Don't fight in front of the kids boys, let's go and eat now. Dinner is ready," Mum said. We all walked towards the dining table and took our seats. I noticed my phone ringing but I ignored it. This was not going as planned. "Alex, come sit beside me," I said as I pulled out a chair. He glanced around and when he saw that he didn't have a choice, he reluctantly sat beside me.

"Daddy, help me with my hair band," Madison said to Cole. I could feel Alex tense beside me.

"Of course princess," he replied as he helped her out. The omegas trooped in and started serving the food. I could see the way they were staring at her. I knew she had also regained her memories. "Mason? I noticed you haven't talked much. Don't you like it here?" I asked him.

"I don't speak unless spoken to," he said flatly. I remembered him from that party. I had almost forgotten how rude he was.

"He's just trying to get used to his surroundings," Cole explained.

"I understand that. He's such a thoughtful kid, reminds me of when Alex was younger. I had such a hard time trying to get him to speak," Mum said.

An omega dropped a plate of peas on the table.

"I don't like peas," Mason and Alex both said at the same time.
