Julian's POV

One week later.

"You ready?" Philip asked.

"I am, are you?" I asked Alex. He nodded. We all exhaled deeply before I gently knocked on the door of our parent's room. It's been almost two weeks since Mother found out the whole truth yet she hasn't said a word to us. It would be better if she had yelled or beaten us to a pulp but she was completely silent and her silence didn't sit well with us. Alex knocked again but still she didn't respond.

We knew she was in there because Father told us she was. Philip pushed the door open and we saw her sitting on the edge of the bed with her back turned to us. We glanced at each other and nodded. We quickly got on our knees and folded our hands in front of us. This act of ours was desperate but what could we do? She was refusing to speak to us even after apologizing severally.

"Mother, we are sorry for everything. Find it in your benevolent heart to forgive us. We've not been able to function properly since you stopped speaking to us," we pleaded dramatically. She didn't turn back or reply. I knew she was going to do this. I glanced at Alex. "Go," I whispered. He nodded and suddenly clutched his chest. He groaned out in pain.

"Alex, what's wrong?" Philip asked worriedly.

"It's my chest. It hurts so much that I can't breathe," he groaned painfully. Mother quickly sprang to her feet. She ran towards Alex.

"Are you okay? Philip get some water. We need to take him to the hospital. Where does it hurt?" she asked worriedly. She was beginning to panic.

"It hurts everywhere. But I will feel better if you give us your forgiveness," Alex groaned again, placing his head on her thighs. I bit my lips to stifle the laughter threatening to surface. Alex was so good at this.

"My forgiveness? Is that some kind of drug? You want my...," She paused when she realized what we meant. She pushed Alex's head off her angrily.

"Were you trying to scare me to death?" she inquired. Alex stopped groaning and stood up from the floor.

"We tried everything else but you wouldn't budge. I know we hurt you deeply and betrayed the trust you had in us but we did all that because we didn't want to hurt you in any way. Trust me, all I wanted to do was secure our family's future but the lies got out of hand. We are deeply sorry for everything Mother," Alex pleaded.

"Get up from the floor. An Alpha should never be seen in this state," she said, getting up from the floor. Philip held onto her hand.

"Forgive us already, please," Philip whined. Mother held on to his ear and he yelped.

"I'm not mad at the fact that you did what you did, I'm angry because you didn't trust me enough to confide in me and ask for my help when you were in trouble. And the fact that you bullied a girl. I never raised you in that way," she said in disbelief. "Let go of my ear and we can talk. I'm not the only one at fault here. Grab Alex and Julian's ears too," he muttered.

"Bear the punishment on our behalf. It's for the greater good," I whispered. He glared at me. Alex walked towards her and held her hand.

"I can't make an excuse on why we did what we did to Emma, we let someone manipulate us. The blame isn't entirely hers, we were stupid enough to get manipulated. All we can hope and pray for is that she forgives us but you have to forgive us first. This past week has been so hard without you," Alex said, hugging her tightly.

"Why is that sounding like a love confession?" Philip asked with a frown.

"It is," he replied, Mother smiled and hugged him back.

"What on earth? Who knew Alex could be so cheeky," I muttered walking towards them to see his face. He smiled widely and blinked his eyes. I shuddered.

"Don't ever try to act cute again. It doesn't suit you," I said. He gave me the middle finger with a smirk.

"Include me in the hug," Philip said, moving towards them.

"Don't leave me out," I said and threw myself on them. Mother chuckled.

"I didn't feel comfortable when I wasn't speaking with you boys either. But how do you plan on getting that innocent girl to forgive you? She says she has forgiven you but I know deep down she hasn't, I could see it all over her face as to how hurt she is. But by the way, have you heard from Hailey?" she asked. Alex quickly pulled away from her.

"Why are you ruining the moment by bringing up that woman?!" he asked coldly.

"I was worried. I can't just forget about her overnight. She's my daughter," she said.

"You are too nice mother. She doesn't deserve your love, forget about her. I'm sure she has also forgotten about you," Philip replied.

"What about you Julian? I noticed you were the closest to her," she said.

"I don't know anything mother. I haven't seen or spoken to her since she left and I don't want to or pray to." I responded. Alexander's phone suddenly rang and he went out to pick it up. Mother sighed dejectedly.

"We will be right back mom. This is important" I said as I pecked her cheek and followed Alex. He had called us out through the mind link. "What is it?" Philip asked.

"Mason wants to see us," he responded. We've been going to Mason's school and speaking to him, getting to know him from time to time. "Why? Did he sound urgent?" I inquired.

"I don't know. He just asked to see us," he said. We all got into the car and drove towards the twins' school. It was good that the school was not too far away. Emma lived in the neighboring pack. We arrived soon enough and got down. We got stared at and whispered about immediately after we headed in but we were used to it. The first time we arrived, it was a bit uncomfortable. Some girls even wanted to take pictures with us, like we were celebrities.

"Hello, I wasn't expecting you three," the twins' teacher chirped happily.

"Where are the twins?" Alex asked coldly. The teacher frowned. I nudged Alex's arm.

"Be nice else she might stop us from seeing them, she might even tell Emma,' I said through the mind link. He sighed.

"I can't help but notice you seem to be getting prettier each day. Oh my, your beauty is blinding," Philip remarked, shielding his eyes. She giggled happily. Mason and Madison walked towards us. I furrowed my brows. We've never spoken to Madison since we've been visiting. Mason insisted he won't let us speak to her until he could fully trust us. He was a bold and intelligent chap. The teacher left and we all walked to our usual spot.

"Is it true you are our father?" Madison asked. Alex glanced towards us in surprise.

"Where did you hear that? Did your mummy tell you?" he asked skeptically. She shook her head.

"Mason and I figured it out. You are, aren't you? else why would you keep coming to visit us?" she inquired. Alexander bent down to their level.

"You are right. I'm your daddy," he replied gently, patting her head. She burst into tears and threw herself into his arms.

"Where have you been all this while? You left us and mummy all alone. We never even knew you existed," she cried loudly. Her cries broke my heart into a million pieces. I could only imagine how Alex was feeling. Alex's eyes watered.

"Stop crying, Mady. I didn't bring you here for this. He has been coming to visit me all this while but he never said anything. It's clear he doesn't want us," Mason comforted her. His voice broke in the end, I could see he was also trying to control his emotions. He was only a child after all.

"Don't say that Mason. Your daddy never knew you both were his kids until a few weeks ago. He couldn't tell you anything because it's much more complicated than you think. He loves you more than you can imagine. We all do." Philip explained.

"Then, let's go home and meet mummy, we can explain everything to her then we will be a family," Madison said innocently.

"It's not that easy, princess. But I promise you that we will sort everything out. We will all be together in no time." he assured her with a smile but we all knew deep down that it was going to be difficult especially with Emma hell bent on having nothing to do with us. She doesn't even know we know about the twin's father.

"And, don't ever think that I don't love you. I love you both more than you can possibly imagine. Don't ever forget that," he said to Mason.

"And we love you both too. Nothing can change that," I said to them with a smile.

"We love you too. Mason won't say it but he does. He even cried when he was alone. You thought I didn't know? I know everything. Who's the crybaby now?" Madison teased as she poked her tongue out at him.

"I'm not a crybaby," Mason retorted with a frown. We all laughed.

"Guys, we have a problem. A Hailey problem," Philip suddenly said worriedly, staring at his phone.
