Alexander's

POV

I walked into my office after the drama that just unfolded. If I was told when we were kids that Hailey would be capable of such shameful accusations, I would have denied it right away without much thought. Who would have ever thought that Hailey would turn out like this? She was the closest friend we had growing up and watching all this happen right now was not what I had expected at all. Still, she brought harm to my kids, whether she meant it or not. She still endangered their life and that was totally unacceptable. The door suddenly opened and Julian peered in. "Are you busy?" he asked.

I shook my head. He opened the door wider and stepped in. Philip followed, holding a bottle of alcohol and four glasses.

"I brought dinner," he said, raising the bottle.

"Why are there four bottles? Is there someone else coming?" I inquired glancing at the opened door. Julian gently closed the door.

"There is," he replied curtly as they took their seats in front of me. I furrowed my brows. If someone was coming, then why did they shut the door? They seemed to have heard my thoughts. They both pointed behind me. I looked towards the window. "Who will come through the window when there's a door? Do you know how high that is...," I trailed when someone suddenly landed with a thud. He groaned.

"Hey guys," he said with a slight wave as he got up from the floor. I sighed, of course, it was Xander.

I stared at him in disbelief before asking, "Why did you come through the window when there's a door?"

He took a seat and grabbed a glass as Julian poured the alcohol.

"I couldn't risk seeing Aunty on the way. I still feel so guilty," he responded.

"If you feel this guilty then how are we, her children supposed to feel? Sometimes, I feel like you act more like her son than we do," Philip said.

He smiled ruefully. "Aunty saved me from a very dark place and for that, I will forever be grateful. You don't know how fortunate you are to have a mother like Aunty. People would kill to have this kind of affection. I'm so jealous. I wonder what you did in your past lives to deserve it," he said downing his drink in one go. He scrunched his face.

He was right and we knew it. Mother had done everything in her power for us and she didn't deserve to be treated this way. I tried to get rid of that thought. It only added to the guilt I was currently feeling.

"Stop drinking already," I scolded Julian, breaking the deafening silence. He scowled and reluctantly dropped his glass but not before drinking the entire content.

"Why are you here by this time? Shouldn't you be in your pack?" Philip asked Xander. He swirled the liquid in his glass.

"I ran away. I was getting tired of being pestered to get a mate," he muttered tiredly.

"Do not ever succumb to pressure. Don't get married to just anyone in haste. Wait for your mate even if it takes longer than this," I advised seriously. I wouldn't want what happened to me to happen to anyone. "Words of advice from an experienced man," Julian commented and they all burst into laughter turning the tense atmosphere into a lighter one. I glared at him.

"Keep it down, I wouldn't want Aunty to replace out that I'm here. I can't deal with that right now," he muttered.

"Alex, have you stopped taking those herbs?" Philip asked, gazing at me skeptically.

I nodded. "I have."

"What now? Do you need to take some other herbs to lessen the effect?" Julian inquired.

"I don't need to take any more herbs. We just have to wait for nature to take its due course," I responded, taking a sip from my glass.

"What? Why are you speaking like you are about to die? You aren't going to die right?" he inquired incredulously. I chuckled.

"One would think you care about me. What if I die? Do you want to come along?" I asked and he quickly held onto Julian's arm.

"What the hell Alex! Do you need to have such a dark sense of humor? I was just kidding. Why would I die when I haven't found my mate yet? I can't die a virgin," he said, shaking his head at the thought. We all burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. I can't remember the last time I had such a good laugh. Xander was very serious when it came to intimacy. He might look and sound like a flirt but he was soft-hearted underneath all that. He had always said he wanted his first time to be with the person he had an emotional connection with, someone he loved and cared for deeply, his mate.

"I won't die. I can't leave my kids behind again," I assured him. The mere thought of the twins brought a smile to my face.

"I heard about that. But, why did Emma never say a word about being pregnant?" Xander asked curiously.

"We have no idea but now that we've found out, we have to do everything possible to make up for the past," Julian said.

"It still makes me angry to think that my kids grew up without me in their lives. They don't even realize I'm their father yet. I'm barely holding myself back from telling them about it because I'm trying to think things through from Emma's perspective," I said. "Why don't you confront her? Ask her about it and let's hear what her reason was. I know she lost her memories so she must have forgotten but when she regained them back, the first thing she was supposed to do was tell you about the twins. No father deserves to be kept away from his child no matter what he has done but I understand her though. You guys really did, suck a lot." Xander responded.

"I will ask her about it but not now. She's still angry with us and there's no telling what she might do. We also can't let her know that I found out the truth until we earn her trust," I said. They all nodded.

"How about Aunty and Uncle? Do they know?" Xander asked.

"They don't and they can't. Not right now else it will make things harder than it already is," I answered.

"Hailey?"

"No!" we all said at the same time.

"Where is she though? I'm surprised she hasn't come looking for Alex yet," he said.

"She got kicked out. She attacked Emma and the kids in her wolf form," Philip said.

"What!? Has she finally gone crazy?" Xander asked in shock.

"I believe she has. Her obsession with being Luna finally made her go crazy," Julian responded.

"What about mother? How did she take it? I know how much she cared for her," Xander said.

"She didn't show any emotions or tell us anything but I know she's hurting," Philip muttered sadly. We all sighed.

"I never thought Hailey could go to this extent. What about Emma? Is she fine?" he asked.

"She got wounded on her arm. I wonder how she must be doing," I said.

"Why wonder when we can all see for ourselves," Xander said with a smile.

"Have you forgotten Emma doesn't want to see us?" Julian asked.

His smile got wider, "I have a plan."

******

"When you said you had a plan, you were talking about this?" I asked, staring at myself in the mirror in disbelief. Xander went back home the previous day and came back with silly outfits. He brought each of us a colored wig, mine and Julian's was orange while his and Philip's were green. He got us fake beards, mustaches, and costumes. We looked like clowns preparing for a circus.

"Absolutely. Nice plan right?" he inquired in a deep fake voice.

"This is stupid. I'm taking this off. How do you come up with such stupid ideas and silly costumes?" I asked. Philip and Julian started to take pictures. They seemed to be enjoying this.

"Delete those pictures immediately," I ordered but they ignored me.

"Julian and Philip love my idea. You are the only grumpy one here. Take off the disguise if you don't want to see Emma," he said and they all left. I sighed and followed after them when I had no other choice. Philip drove us to the hospital where Emma worked. Xander had already camped out at a hidden spot where we could see Emma from. He gave each of us binoculars. I glanced around hoping no one could see me humiliating myself to this extent. I would never recover from that.

Xander stood up, took off his costume, and ran towards a nurse walking inside the hospital.

"Where the hell do you think you are running off to? What if Emma sees you? Come back," Julian whispered. We all called out to him but he didn't listen, he walked towards the nurse and held her hand. "Mate!" he growled.
