Sheila’s POV I woke up with Alfredo sitting on the bed, facing the window like he thought of something.“Still thinking of your night out with my father?" I asked as I pulled up on him, wrapping my hands around his neck with my hands while I crossed him with my legs.He smelled of cologne, sharp and distinct, added to his underlying ashy smell. “Not exactly that,” he said, still facing the horizon. The rising sun was a beautiful sight to behold as it stretched its lazy rays across the sky, painting the deep blue sky with stretches of orange and pink.“What are you thinking of?”“Nothing exactly. You know that moment when you get up from bed and you just zone out?” He asked.I nodded as he turned around, placing a kiss on my lips, teasing me as he locked my hands high above my head while he placed me on the bed.“But I have something to think about right now?” He said as he looked at me with a mischievous smirk.“And what is that?”“It’s more like a question,” he said as he raised hi
Alfredo’s POV“Alfie.”I woke up to Sheila muttering my name.“Go check who is at the door.”I let out a little groan as I pulled out from under her body, forcing blood to flow through the hand she placed pressure on when she laid on me.I stepped out in my underwear, trudging to the door to meet my beta standing at the door with a serious look on her face.“Isn’t it too early to be knocking on someone’s door?” I asked as I covered my mouth when I yawned.“It’s eight in the morning and I think you are forgetting something,” she said as she placed her hands on her waist, expecting me to remember something I clearly forgot. “Well, I do not remember it. Cut me some slack here and remind me what it is about.” I said as I leaned on the doorpost.“You have a meeting with your mother and Alpha Brian this morning,” she said as she brought out her phone, scrolling through it like she was searching for something.My eyes snapped open at that information. How could I have forgotten something l
Melissa (Gabriella’s Pov)“Ready for your evening walks?”I saw him stick his head through my door.“I might have well been naked,” I said as I pushed myself from the couch to meet him.“Well, you aren’t naked,” he let out a chuckle as he took hold of me.My enormous stomach had slowed my routine to barely walking, but it didn’t stop him from coming every morning with my cup of coffee and a smile on his face before he took me out into the woods.“How are the babies coming?” He asked as he took me on a walk. The walks have been in front of his place recently, as I could barely move around for long.“Lyra said they are alright and should be out soon,” I said, mirroring Lyra’s exactly as she had watched them more closely than I had.“I can’t wait for them to come,” he said as he stood in front of me with his hands on his waist. He looked innocent like he would never do anything bad.I let out a sigh as I walked next to him, watching the sun fade in the distance. He had refused to take me
Alpha Farrell’s Pov The sound of a beeping machine did no good as I paced around the room with my finger on my lips. I felt like I was thinking and at the same time, there was nothing coming to mind.“You’ve got to stop pacing about,” Ora said, even when the tension originated from him the most. “It’s just a baby.”“Two babies,” I corrected as I stared at the light of the labor room. It remained in red, with no serious movements coming from inside.Aiden stood at the side like he was not scared of anything that would happen. I had seen her face when the contraction started. She held tight to my shirt as I picked her into the car, not wanting to let go when I offered to drive the car and that was where Aiden had come into the picture.“Is everything alright?” I asked as I saw a nurse step out of the labor room, hurrying to get to somewhere that she ignored me altogether. I could see from the swinging door that she was in a lot of pain as she held tight to the bed. Beads of sweat form
Alfredo’s Pov “Anything wrong?” Alpha Brian asked.I muttered in the negative, as I did not know what was wrong, pausing at the feeling I had in my heart. A hand on my shoulder woke me from the trance. “Looks like you had your head up in the cloud for the moment.”I turned to see Alpha Brian staring me in the eyes, a look of concern on his face. “You looked like you stepped on a ticking time bomb.”“It’s nothing,” I said as I placed my hands on my racing heart to calm myself.“Thought you would fall face first to the ground with that grave look on your face.”“I’m fine,” I answered, taking a deep breath to cool myself. “I’ll leave you to your thoughts. Any discussion would be for the future; I have to see my daughter before I leave.”“Hey, Dad.” His words hardly left his lips when Sheila came running from the stairs, flinging herself into his arms. He laughed as he swung her around for a while. I stepped away to allow for the father and daughter reunion.“I didn’t think I’d meet w
Melissa (Gabriella’s Pov) “What do you want to do?” Alpha Farrell asked as he pushed the stroller that carried the children. A little smile on his face.“I want to go home, cradle my children, and sleep for a very long time,” I said as I stared into the stroller, looking at their sweet-looking faces with bodies swaddled in soft clothing.“I thought you wanted to work?” He asked with a smirk on his face, just as a car that looked like one of his drove by.“After I’ve rested enough,” I said, looking at the horizon. The sun was shooting itself high in the sky, illuminating the sky with its bright light.“I don’t think you’d get that much time, especially with the double dose of trouble lying down in front of us,” he said as he looked into the stroller where they stirred from his sudden movement.“Don’t remind me of the troubles I’ll face with them around,” I said as I moved closer to the stroller, putting my finger into the hands of the one who raised his hand above his head even while
Alpha Farrell’s Pov “I’m tired,” I groaned, stretching my hands from the book I was reading. My routine of giving Gabriella a cup of coffee in the morning had died down to the barest minimum.“What do we do today?” Ora asked. I let out a little sigh as I did a mental calculation of my schedule and what I could push away or trash completely. Not like Aiden wouldn’t inform me about its importance when I didn’t do something of value.“I was thinking of going out for a race,” I said. The chair creaked as I pushed it backward, stretching fully until my joints popped and cracked. “Haven’t gotten the time to do that since the attack on Gabriella.”“Since we found out she carried a child,” Ora corrected, letting out a little yawn.I let out a little chuckle at his correction, heading out from my study. The room smelled nice from the wind blowing through the window. There was a little chill in the air that sent goosebumps around my arms.“But there is another thing troubling me,” I said as I
Gabriella’s Pov “I didn’t think I’d see you out so early.”I raised my head to see a lady standing in front of me. Her flowing hair reminded me of someone I had seen before, but I couldn’t remember the exact place with only the smell of incense and fog clouding my mind.“How are Daemon and Damian doing?” She asked as she moved closer to the stroller, peering inside to look at my boys with a smile on her face.I was sitting in front of the Alpha’s house, which meant that few people had access to the place, but the lady in front of me was giving me a chill with a feeling of mystery wrapped around her like a cloak.“Do not be alarmed. You might not remember me because I made it so,” she said as she flashed me a smile, sitting in the seat next to me. “But I remember you. The scared girl they brought to me to find out if she was a spy.”The thought came to me almost immediately as I turned to look at her. She faced me with a smile as she tucked a part of her hair behind her ears.“Elsa,”
