Third Person Pov After five grueling hours, the doors to the ward finally swung open, revealing the doctor stepping out, fatigue etched on his face. Gregory’s pulse quickened as he stood, his body heavy with anxiety and exhaustion. He had spent the entire time pacing, hands shaking, praying silently for good news. The doctor removed his gloves, tossing them into the nearby trash with a soft thud. Gregory couldn't wait another second. "Doctor?" His voice cracked, filled with desperation. "How are they?" The doctor’s expression remained serious as he spoke. "The babies have been delivered successfully—three healthy babies." Gregory's breath hitched, and for a fleeting moment, the weight of worry lightened just a little. Tobias, who had been silent by Gregory’s side, suddenly jumped up, his face breaking into a relieved grin. "Oh man, I'm so happy for you, Gregory!" he exclaimed, clapping Gregory on the shoulder. But before Gregory could let the relief sink in fully, the
Luna Essa entered the prison, her footsteps slow and deliberate as they echoed through the dimly lit hallway. The cold air inside the stone-walled cell was stifling, almost suffocating. She came to a stop in front of Katie’s cell, her eyes narrowing as she took in the sight of the young woman curled up in the far corner, asleep under a thin blanket. For a moment, Luna Essa stood there, watching her, thinking of how different things could have been if Katie had made better choices. But that time had passed. Now, there was no turning back. Finally, she cleared her throat, the sound slicing through the silence like a knife. Katie stirred, eyes blinking open in panic. She jolted upright, heart pounding, but as her bleary eyes focused on Luna Essa, the tension in her body eased. The fear gave way to recognition, and she slowly crawled toward the bars, her hands gripping the cold iron as she bowed her head. "Good morning, Luna," Katie whispered, her voice hoarse from disuse. S
Luna Essa stood by the hospital door, her hand resting on the handle as she silently observed the scene inside. The room was dim, the curtains drawn, casting soft shadows over the space. Gregory sat beside Emma’s bed, his posture slumped, his hands gently holding Emma’s lifeless fingers. His gaze was fixed on her, as if willing her to open her eyes. The exhaustion was etched into his face—red eyes, heavy bags beneath them from sleepless nights, and a pale complexion that only added to his weariness. Luna sighed softly before stepping into the room. "Gregory," she called gently, "you need to get some rest. You haven’t slept in days." Gregory lifted his head slowly, his tired eyes meeting his mother’s gaze. “Mother…” His voice was thick, hoarse, and filled with pain. "She’s… she’s not waking up." Luna walked closer to him, her heart aching for her son, but she kept her voice calm. "Just give it some time, Gregory. She’s been through a lot. Maybe she just needs more tim
Gregory walked into the house, the weight of the past few days evident in his tired eyes and slouched shoulders. His steps were slow, deliberate, as though each movement took more energy than he had. The door to his room creaked open, and he stepped inside, the familiar scent of home surrounding him. Without thinking, he reached for his shirt and pulled it off, tossing it on the bed with little care. The exhaustion clung to him like a second skin. After a brief pause, he headed back downstairs. His throat was dry, the weight of the last few hours heavy on him. When he reached the kitchen, he opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. The coolness of the drink soothed him momentarily. As he closed the fridge, preparing to leave the kitchen, he heard a loud gasp. “Ah! Alpha!” a startled voice called out. Gregory turned to see Lizzy, one of the cooks, standing at the entrance of the kitchen with wide eyes, clearly taken aback by his sudden appearance. She bowed her h
Georgory’s heart raced as they neared the pack prison. His mind was swimming with questions, but the one at the forefront escaped his lips as they came to a stop in front of the iron gates. “What’s going on, Daniel? Why is Eve locked up in the pack prison? What the hell is happening?” Georgory demanded, his voice filled with confusion and a hint of rising anger. He turned to face Daniel, then shifted his gaze to Eve, who sat slumped against the cold stone wall of the cell, her face a picture of unconscious defeat. The sight only deepened his frustration. Daniel remained calm, though his eyes carried the weight of the revelation he was about to drop. “This is what I wanted to show you first,” Daniel said, his voice steady but serious. “But Georgory, I need you to hear it for yourself. If I tell you now, it might be hard for you to believe.” Georgory clenched his fists. “What are you talking about?” he snapped, his patience wearing thin. “I don’t have time for this. I need to g
Gregory stood before the hospital ward, his hand resting on the door handle. He inhaled deeply, trying to steady his nerves. Breathe in, breathe out, he told himself, but the pounding of his heart seemed to drown out the calming rhythm. After what felt like an eternity, he finally twisted the handle and stepped inside. The moment he entered, his eyes landed on Emma. She was sitting up in bed, her face lit up by a radiant smile as she chatted with his mother, who sat beside her. The warmth of their interaction sent a burst of emotions surging through him, and Gregory momentarily froze in place, feeling both relieved and unnerved at the same time. His mother was the first to notice him. "Oh, Gregory," she said softly, glancing from him to Hema. "I’ll leave you two alone for a bit." She rose from her chair, gently patting Emma’s hand. As she approached Gregory, she stopped for a moment by his side, tapping his shoulder. “Take your time,” she whispered before quietly leaving t
Inside the nursery, the soft hum of the ceiling fan was the only sound until Darren’s loud cries broke the calm. Emma sat in the rocking chair, carefully feeding her firstborn, Darren, whose appetite always seemed insatiable. His little mouth latched tightly onto her breast, and she winced as he hungrily suckled. The alpha boy was a handful—always loud, always hungry. His twin brother Derek wasn’t much different, while their little omega sister, Delilah, was much quieter, content with small feedings before drifting back to sleep. Just as Darren began to settle, the door creaked open. Gregory stepped in, his usual smirk on his face. “Still feeding?” he asked, rubbing his temple dramatically. “Can’t I just have a moment of peace with my mate?” Emma chuckled, her laughter light and tired. “Gregory, are you jealous of your own sons again?” Gregory crossed the room and gently picked up Derek, who immediately snuggled into his father’s chest. “Jealous? I’m not jealous. It’s
The morning sun rose high over the grounds of the TMN pack house, casting golden rays over the large gathering that had assembled. Over 1,000 pack members crowded the space, their excited whispers blending with the playful sounds of children running around. Despite the air of anticipation, there was tension too—today, the fate of Eve, Katie and Miranda would be decided. Both women had been implicated in the kidnapping and abuse of their Luna, Emma, a crime considered unforgivable within the pack. Emma was not present at the gathering. Gregory had insisted on keeping her away, preferring to shield her from the weight of the event. Instead, he stood tall and authoritative on the podium, his presence commanding the attention of every wolf in attendance. His sharp eyes scanned the crowd, his aura exuding power as the voices slowly died down. “Good morning, members of TMN pack,” Gregory’s voice boomed, echoing across the grounds. Silence fell immediately, and all eyes tur
Emma sat in the sitting room, lost in thought. The weight of the pack’s problems and her own grief bore down on her like a suffocating blanket. Her swollen eyes told the story of endless nights spent crying. No matter how much Luna Essa tried to console her, Emma remained inconsolable. She had become a shadow of her former self—emotional, fragile, and prone to tears at the smallest provocation. Though she tried to appear composed in front of the pack, as soon as she stepped inside her chambers, her façade crumbled. Her tears flowed freely, soaking the pillows, as she clutched Gregory’s belongings. The faint scent of him that once brought her comfort had long since faded, leaving her feeling hollow and alone. Today was no different. She sat on the couch, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her dress, her thoughts far away. Luna Essa had taken the children upstairs to let Emma have a moment to herself, though Emma knew that even the sight of her children brought bot
Gregory remained still as his eyes caught the glint of a broken glass shard lying on the floor a few feet away. His heart thudded, not just from the pain in his chest but from the flicker of hope that sparked within him. He glanced around the dimly lit room. The bloodstains on the floor and walls were dried, and there was no other tool or weapon in sight. Focusing on the shard, Gregory pulled himself back until his legs could swing forward. The jagged stones on the floor dug into his bare skin, but he gritted his teeth. “Just one more push,” he muttered to himself. He swung his leg again, ignoring the pain, and managed to nudge the shard closer to him. “Come on,” he whispered, stretching his leg as far as he could. His toes finally grasped the shard, and he carefully lifted it towards his hand. The rope binding his wrists was slightly elastic, but the effort of stretching it was excruciating. Gregory winced as he stretched his arm enough to grab the shard from his toes.
Gregory’s eyes fluttered open, his lashes heavy with dried blood. His head throbbed, the sharp sting of a recent wound pulsing through his skull. The air was cold, damp, and carried a nauseating mix of mildew and copper. Blinking against the dim light of the room, he tried to lift his hands, only to feel the searing pull of restraints biting into his wrists. He shifted, wincing as the rough ropes chafed his skin. His arms were stretched wide, tied to wooden beams on opposite sides of the room. His legs, though free, were heavy with exhaustion, his boots scraping uselessly against the dirt floor. “What the hell…” Gregory’s voice was hoarse, each syllable clawing its way out of his dry throat. His gaze dropped to his chest. The once-crisp white shirt he had worn was now stained with blood, the dark patches spreading like grotesque flowers. His breaths came shallow and fast as he tugged at his restraints again, harder this time. The ropes didn’t budge. From the corner o
Four months had passed since that chaotic battle, and though the world had resumed its rhythm, Emma felt an unsettling void in her heart. Gregory and Alpha Evan were still missing, leaving a gaping chasm in her life that she struggled to fill. Yet, even in her sorrow, she had to stand strong for her children. Soon, the triplets would be celebrating their first birthday, a milestone that demanded her attention and energy. With five months of pregnancy showing, Emma moved about the kitchen, her body weary but her spirit determined. She was preparing warm milk for her nine-month-old triplets—Darren, Derek, and Delilah—who had recently grown fussy with the breastfeeding routine. She sighed, glancing at the clock on the wall. It felt like every tick echoed the emptiness she felt without Gregory. As she warmed the milk, a sharp pain shot through her abdomen. She paused, taking a deep breath and closing her eyes, willing the discomfort to subside. “Just breathe,” she whisper
The night was thick with the acrid scent of smoke and chaos as Emma pressed her palms against the cold glass of the window. Her breath came in short gasps, each inhale laced with the unmistakable smell of burning wood and the faint cries of distant voices. She turned to Luna Essa, who was crouched beside her, both of them hidden away in the dim light of the underground room Luna Essa had secured for them in the park house. The shadows danced on the walls, flickering ominously with the glow of the fires raging outside. “Emma,” Lunaessa whispered, her voice trembling slightly. “We have to stay quiet. They can’t find us here.” But Emma couldn’t tear her eyes away from the scene unfolding beyond the window. The night sky flickered with the bright flashes of flames consuming their world. The once-peaceful neighborhood, filled with laughter and life, now lay in ruins, the homes of their friends and families reduced to mere shells engulfed in flames. Suddenly, a sharp pain pie
The night was thick with tension, shadows dancing among the trees as a cold wind whispered through the clearing. Alpha Evan stood at the edge of the pack territory, a grim smile curling on his lips. The moonlight gleamed off the knives strapped to his belt, reflecting his cunning intentions. He was not just another rogue; he was a man consumed by a singular obsession: reclaiming his daughter, Emma. Around him, a motley crew of rogues gathered, their eyes filled with a mix of fear and excitement. These were men and women who had wandered far from the path of civility, drawn together by the promise of chaos. Alpa Evan had no trouble rallying them. He had promised them power, freedom, and blood—especially blood. “Listen up!” Alpha Evan barked, his voice cutting through the murmurs like a blade. “Tonight, we take back what’s ours. Gregory’s pack has something I want, and I will not rest until I have it.” The rogues shifted, anticipation crackling in the air. They had heard
Gregory and Emma were enjoying a light-hearted moment, laughter filling the room as he tickled her sides, playfully dodging her swats as she gasped between breaths, trying to escape his grip. Suddenly, Emma’s face shifted from joy to discomfort. She wriggled away from him and quickly stood, holding her stomach. “Emma?” Gregory’s voice was filled with concern as he reached for her hand, but she was already moving toward the bedroom door. “Are you okay?” he asked, his tone gentle but worried. But before she could respond, Emma covered her mouth, barely making it to the other side of the door before she doubled over, her stomach rebelling as she vomited. Gregory followed close behind, unbothered by the mess. He stepped over it and knelt beside her, placing a steady hand on her back as she heaved again. “Emma, talk to me,” he said softly, brushing a few strands of hair from her face as she wiped her mouth. “Are you feeling sick? Is it something you ate?” Emma shook her head, at a
The air buzzed with anticipation as packs from across the territory gathered in Greogry's territory for the annual ceremony, a long-awaited event where Alphas, Betas, and even some Omegas came together, all in search of their destined mates. Rows of people lined the wide grounds, laughter and low chatter weaving through the crowd as each wolf hoped this would be the year they'd finally sense that one special scent. Daniel and Tobias had been walking side by side, occasionally nudging each other and exchanging banter, though Tobias’s eyes flitted across the crowd every so often. He was searching as much as anyone, even if he didn’t like to admit it. Daniel, however, seemed more relaxed, eyes bright as he took in the sights and sounds around them. Suddenly, Daniel stopped in his tracks, a faint but unmistakable scent filling his senses. His expression turned intense, and Tobias noticed immediately, halting beside him with a concerned look. “Daniel? What’s wrong?” Tobias’s voi
The moon was barely a sliver in the sky as Miranda paced back and forth in the dim clearing, her heart pounding. The chilling forest air had her shivering, but the cold wasn’t what troubled her—it was the anticipation, the uncertainty. She had been waiting far too long already, and the silence of the forest only added to her impatience.She hugged herself, glancing around nervously. Just then, she heard a rustling in the shadows. She snapped her head around, and Alpha Evan stepped out, his movements sleek and commanding. His eyes glinted with an edge of mischief and malice, and his presence immediately made the air feel heavier, darker.Miranda’s lips curled into a forced smile. “Alpha Evan,” she greeted, a mix of nerves and hope in her tone. “It’s about time.”He observed her for a moment, unhurried. “Miranda,” he acknowledged with a slight nod, his gaze scrutinizing. “Impatience doesn’t suit you.”Ignoring his tone, she quickly dived in. “I’ve done as you asked, Alpha. I’ve been
