Chapter 5 Her return

Chapter 5

SASHA'S POV

I settled into the airplane seat with my quadruplets, my anxiety grew. What if Alpha Ryan discovers the truth about his children? These questions rang in my heart, a panic wash through me immediately.

But I managed to push the thought aside, reassuring myself. He wouldn't take them away from me no matter what. He's their father, might be considerate, since I have been with the kids for five years.

I took a deep breath and relaxed into the chair, trying to calm my racing mind.

"Mummy, look down there! The view is really beautiful!" Ava exclaimed,as she gazed out the window.

I forced a smile, not wanting to ruin her moment. "Yes, it's really beautiful."

"I wish we could do this all the time," Adrian said wistfully.

"I wish so too, It's so much fun," Ava added, giggling.

As they pressed their faces against the window, I watched them.

Glancing back, I spotted Aiden and Andy engrossed in their own window-gazing adventure as well. I couldn't help but smile at their attitude.

Seeing my kid's happy face gave me a kind of peace that I couldn't tell.

The plane finally landed, without any hesitation, I stood up, and led my quadruplets out of the plane. Their chatter filled the air as they marveled at the pack's beauty.

"I'm here now, I'm not sure of what will happen next, but there's no going back," I whispered to myself, shutting my eyes in the process.

I inhale the familiar scent of my pack, the pack I have been away from for five years now.

"Mommy, is Grandma coming to pick us up from here?" Andy asked, tugging on my hand, interrupting the moment.

I opened my eyes, focusing on my son. "No, dear, we're taking a cab." I responded.

We soon arrived at my parents' house, I stepped out of the cab and began taking down our luggage from the car. Ava stood before me, with her face brimming with a smile.

"Mummy, are we finally home?" she asked, giggling.

My heart skipped a beat. Home. The words made me feel emotions.

But before I could respond, Ava asked again.

"Mummy, is this grandma's house?" She asked, pointing to the house in front of us.

I only nodded. Just then, I heard the sound of the door opening, and quickly turned around, only to see my mother standing there, a warm smile on her face.

"Grandma!" I heard them giggle, and they started rushing towards her.

She pulled them all into a tight hug, tears of Happiness shining in her eyes.

"Sasha, I'm so happy you're back home after all these years," mum said, her face brimming with a smile.

"I'm also glad to be back home; I've really missed it here," I responded, with my glance fixed on her.

She parted her hands, with tears of Joy in her eyes.

"Come here," she said to me, and I quickly let go of my luggage and rushed towards her.

"I miss you so much, mummy, and I'm happy to see you," I whispered against her ear while holding tightly onto her back.

"I miss you even more," She responded.

We both disengaged from the hug, faces wet with tears of joy.

"You don't know how hard it has been for me and your father to be alone in this house without our only daughter," she told me.

"It's also hard for me too, mum, believe me," I said.

"Anyway, it's a good thing you're back now, but hopefully, you don't have any intention to leave anytime soon?" She inquired, I kept quiet for a while thinking about it.

"Sasha," she called, while I just smiled and quickly shook my head.

"Don't worry, mum; I just might not leave again," I told her, and she sighed in relief.

Just then, Ava jumped on her legs.

"Grandma, mummy said you were sick; are you feeling better now?" Aiden asked her, and I couldn't help but feel warm inside.

My kids were really so caring, and I love that so much.

"Yes, baby, grandma is feeling much better now, since you all are here now," my mom replied.

I took a deep breath, feeling relief.

The four of them started a conversation with my mom, their laughter and chatting filling the room with warmness.

I stood up, giving them space, and carried our luggage to my old room.

But as I entered my room, my thoughts shifted to my father.

Where was he? Why hadn't I seen him? This question rang in my head, and fear slowly creeped in.

I decided to search for him, with my heart beating rapidly.

As I entered my parents' room, my eyes widened in shock. My father lay in bed, pale and almost lifeless.

"Dad," I called, tears welling up in my eyes, as I rushed to his side.

"Dad, are you okay?" I asked.

He opened his eyes weakly, a faint smile on his lips.

"Sasha, you're back," he whispered, his voice barely audible.

"Dad, you don't look good at all, what's wrong?" I asked.

I sat closer, finding it hard to believe this was my strong, and vibrant father.

"I will be fine. It's good to have you back home," he managed to say, cupping my face in his hands.

Tears flowed down my cheeks as I struggled to process his condition.

No, this can't be my father. He can't be this way. I need to do something. I stood up.

"Sasha," he called, with his faint voice.

His fragile state pierced my heart, and I just couldn't stay here anymore.

"Dad, please save your strength, I will be right back," I told him, trying to sound calm, even though my heart was racing now.

I grabbed his car key and left the bedroom.

"Sasha, where are you going? And why are there tears in your eyes? Have you been crying?" Mum asked.

"I'm going to the pack doctor, to get medication for Dad. I can't let anything happen to him," I responded.

Mum took a deep breath.

"But do you think the pack doctor would be willing to attend to you?" Mum asked.

I recalled how we'd been treated in this pack because of Mum, and doubted the pack doctor's willingness to help.

"Mum, I don't know, but at this point, I need to give it a shot," I blurted out, and with that, I made my way out of the house.
