The Alpha’s Reclaimed Mate

Chapter 5

Layla’s POV

“Mummy!!!!” my three cuties rushed at me and i

Quickly braced myself to receive their heavy hugs, they always come at me like this at the same time.

Three of them together is equivalent to a fully grown man, I beamed happily at them and caught every single one of them, adorning their faces with kisses.

I didn't want to cry, not now in front of everyone. My mate kept his word and brought my sons back, I knew he would do it and this had really put my mind at ease these past three days.

“Have looked them over… They are perfectly fine, there's not a single scratch on them” my mate assured me, he was watching the four of us keenly.

Noah waved at him from my side and he waved back almost immediately, smiling at his sons awkwardly. Oliver hid behind me shyly, I'm sure he couldn't wait to introduce himself to them.

He looked so peaceful and full of fatherly pride as he watched them tangle themselves to my body, Queen mother Stacy made a funny face to my sons and they giggled back at her.

My boys are very playful and love to joke with people a lot, even with strangers. I sneered at the queen mother and she quickly looked away.

A guard had been sent to call us to the eating arena in the estate, to inform me that my sons had been found and the kidnapper down stairs requested my presence.

I almost flew downstairs, the scene before me was like the ones in a suspense movie, “why did you take my children, you came to my house! Took my innocent kids”, I questioned the battered looking man.

“I will tell you everything, just beg your mate not to kill me, i’m responsible for everything that happened. Alpha Aleksander growled angrily but said nothing.

The man was about to say something but Dorothy stopped him, she rushed towards him and gave him a dirty slap, the Queen mother stacy gasped and screamed in shock.

“Dorothy! Don't degrade yourself by doing that… The guards have already dealt with him” queen mother chastised her.

The man laughed sadly and got all our attention again, “it's okay… Let her slap me, I'm sure she would get her own dose of slaps soon.

Dorothy moved to hit him again but Barbara quickly stopped her, “please behave! What's so special about this man and why are you so pissed by him, he kidn*pped her sons… Not yours” Barbara mentioned, pointing at me.

I nodded in agreement and I noticed that the elder Alpha also did the same, he hasn't said anything since the beginning of the whole drama, he was just taking note of everything quietly from where he sat.

My mate reached for the fuming Dorothy and patted her back softly.I guess he was trying to calm her down.

She looked back at him and there was something in her eyes, more like she was pleading with her eyes.

I instantly became very weary and suspicious of her… “ my husband, I can explain… Just let me do all the talking” she knelt in front of my mate and begged.

At that moment, I lost it. She definitely knew about my son's kidnap? … Did she hire the man, my mate opened his mouth to respond to her but nothing came out.

He was definitely more than shocked, I wasn't expecting it but the next thing I heard was a very loud and stingy slap sound, Elder Alpha rushed toward his son to hold him back.

“That's my mate!” I hailed him in my head, I could kiss him right now, I felt some peace immediately, at least a little payback for all she had put me through.

“I have never raised my hand on any female… But you made me do it today!” he exclaimed, glaring angrily at her.

Dorothy had just received a hot slap from Alpha Aleksander and would have gotten more if not for his father's immediate intervention.

“Dorothy! Did you kidnap my grandsons? You knew about the secret triplet all along? That was queen mother stacy.

To be very candid I was very surprised that she wasn't part of the whole plan, because she didn't like me at all.

As if she was reading my mind, she walked toward me and held my cold hands, her voice was a bit shaky and emotional, “ my dear… I wouldn't hurt you like that, I’m not part of this!” She looked at her son as if trying to seek his support.

“Alek, you know me… I’m not that cruel and will never support this act of pure wickedness, all

I can do is make threat and talk like a killer”

The woman was beginning to sound hysterical so I squeezed her hand and she almost cried, she quickly sniffed back her tears and grabbed me into a very warm hug.

Dorothy knelt on the floor and was crying and screaming… “I didn't know about the kidnap! I swear, I wasnt even aware of her whereabouts… Believe me my husband, i’m as surprised as you about the triplets! Trust me”

“Johnson tell them the truth” she turned to shout at the man, the man did just that. As if he had been waiting to explain the whole secret to us. He spilled out everything.

From how Dorothy begged him to lie with her about him kissing me in college six years ago, to how she completely ignored him and didn't keep her promise to be with him.

We listened In utter shock when he revealed that he's Dorothy's real mate and he agreed to stay hidden until she came to him.

He did everything for her and at the end she still didn't leave Alpha Aleksander and she chased him from her sight.

Alek was more than angry, his father didn't loosen his hold on him all through the revelation session, his eyes were bloodshot and he might just kill Dorothy.

“You told me your mate was dead… Dorothy!” he barked at her, she didn't have any response to that, except for her pleas for forgiveness.

But that wasn't all, the man now known as Johnson went on to reveal that Dorothy didn't know about the triplet or kidnap as he ostracized that plan by himself.

He did it to make Alpha Aleksander pay for taking his mate away, he added that he wasn't aware that Dorothy lied about him being dead.

He said Dorothy told him something else, that she can't leave Alpha Alek because he wouldn't let her go and he's so possessive about her.

We all exclaimed when Johnson mentioned it because it's very glaring that Alek wasn't possessive about Dorothy at all and he wouldn't bat an eyelid if she left the estate.

I haven't spent up to a week in the royal estate but I know this for a fact, with the way he talks and relates with her.

It was indeed a long night, after all the secret exposition and plea for forgiveness, Alpha Aleksander ordered for the both of them to be locked up in the lowest and most dangerous prison.

Queen mother stacy once again surprised me when she didn't even try to solicitate for Dorothy, the big eating arena was very cold and quiet as they dragged the both of them out.

The triplet had been taken away to Their room before the whole secret revelation, their father ordered Loretta to take them into my apartment, just so they didn't have to hear or see all of the drama that happened.

Dorothy was dragged out without any respect or consideration for her title. I almost cried out in relief and thought it was finally over.

Now, I can leave with my sons early tomorrow morning, but unknown to me that it was just the very beginning and my mate was just teasing me when he promised me freedom.

For the next three to four days, I was locked up in my room with my sons, only the triplet were allowed to do whatever they desired.

All of their heart desires were met, they were allowed to go to wherever and whenever, Queen mother stacy was inseparable with them, the woman surely loved children.

All the guards and maid hovered around them, I haven't seen my mate since the revelation night.

When I finally thought I was strong and ready enough to face my mate and take back my freedom, I walked in on him and a female doctor discussing Dorothy.

“My Alpha, it's very true and it has been confirmed…the prison won't be a good place for your child, also she needs medical attention from all those beatings and toture, Dorothy is two month pregnant”

“Let her out and do as I have ordered you to, my child must be unhurt, I want my baby alive!” my mate responded immediately.

He saw me when I barged in but he didn't give much attention, until the doctor bowed and hurried out.

I stared at him in shock, I couldn't move. Instead I just stood there, his face gave nothing away, I couldn't explain how he was feeling about Dorothy's pregnancy news.

But all I know for certain is that she is coming out of prison and back into the estate, back to where he kept me as a prisoner! Back to being his wife!!

Also, she's carrying his child!
