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,”

    Alfredo’s Pov It turned slowly into a thing of routine. Meeting after meeting that gave me respite to a timeout. Conan had come back with less and less information that only hinted at one thing: Melissa was dead.“Do I need to get your head out of the cloud?”I turned to see Mother standing by my side with a look on her face that told me she was worried about me.“I’m fine,” I said as I managed a nervous chuckle to pull her away from my thoughts.“What were you thinking of? It’s not like you have responsibility designated to you at the moment.” She said as she passed her arm through mine, linking us together while we walked away from the flurry of noise washing over us.It’s been more than five years and I have kept my secret between Conan and me. Was I ready to pass this information to her? I sighed as the question ran across my mind in that split second.“We haven’t given you a grandchild,” I said, to push her mind to a specific thought. She smiled as she laid her head on my shoul

    Hello guys, so the last chapter was supposed to be an author's note. I'm not really familiar with the author's center interface, so please bear with me. So, guys, I understand that I haven't uploaded any chapters for over two months, and that's because of my health. I'm really really sorry about that, but my health is not entirely under my control. I had to rush the story even though I had a lot planned out(walking you guys through on how Claire was caught, and what happened with Alfredo and his family). I just had to wrap it up because I feel it's long overdue. I know many of you must have forgotten about one or two details regarding the story, but for every single one of you that sticked to the end, I'm super grateful 🙏🏽. This is actually my first story, and the love you guys showed me was immense. Thank you so very much, and God bless you all. I hope to see your support whenever I come up with a new story. Kindly leave your honest reviews and criticism, on the general comment

    Alpha Farrell's POV Two Months Later. It's been two whole month since I found out that Gabriella and I were mates, and all the saga that led us to this moment. Alfredo has been stripped off his position as Alpha, and his family exiled from the Pack, they're basically rogues with nothing but scraps to feed on. Princess Sheila on the other hand, was given a more milde punishment. Lockhart was still under Nightshade's while she served as an omega in the Packhouse. This was the mildest punishment we could give her, since it was with her help I was able to locate Alfredo after he secretly changed the location where he held Gabriella and the boys. The first phone call I had received was from her. But Alfredo found out she was tipping me off, and used her to lure me into a trap. Where he used those rogues who attacked us to secretly inject us with wolfsbane, making us weak and powerless. Princess Sheila still came to the rescue, soon after Alfredo came to gloat while I was chained, and c

    Melissa’s POV One month later.The gown in front of me was sparkling, casting glittering lights from its reflection as the helpers helped me don it.“It’s pretty, mummy,” Daemon said with his brother running behind him.The helpers stood at the door, stopping them from reaching me for fear of them ruining it.“Let them in,” I said, waiting for my boys to run into my arms.They came in haste, but mounting their distance, even as curiosity pushed at them to touch my gown.“My wife is going to wear one like this when I get married,” Damian said as he caressed the gown.I threw him a smile, bending as low as my gown would allow me to touch their heads. “Of course she would,” I said as I pinched his cheeks.“Are you ready?”I raised my head to meet Aiden as he stood in front of the room, dressed elegantly, for the matter. “I am.” The answer was no surprise for me as I straightened my gown while Aiden held out his arm for me.“You wouldn’t want to keep the groom waiting for too long,” he s

    Gabriella’s POV I stood like a display doll in front of the entire Silverrose, as I listened to Alfredo give a glamorous speech to justify why he's an asshole.I can't wait for all this to be over so Alfredo can take me to see my voice. He has done all he can to break me, and since he wasn't succeeding, he stopped so low as using my boys, our kids to threaten me.‘I only want you Mel, we can make more babies,’ he said, holding a knife over Damian. My baby was so scared and called out to me for help but I couldn't do anything. Now in order to keep my kids alive, I'm subjecting myself to an eternity of hell on earth. But I can endure all that, as long as my boys are fine. The look on Farrell's face when I told him I wanted to be with Alfredo broke me every time I thought about it.Alfredo nudged me, which was his cue, telling me to smile. I forced a smile, as Alfredo took another gulp of wine.“You're mine forever now, Mel,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper as he brought out

    Claire's POVToday makes it exactly four days since I saw Aiden and Alpha Farrell last. From what I was told, they suddenly got into their car and drove off. At first I was worried that maybe, somehow they'd figured out that Gabriella was in Silverrose Pack, but I called Alfredo and he confirmed that they never showed up at his Pack.I didn't take his words for it when he told me, but everywhere has been calm, and there's no way in hell that Alpha Farrell found Gabriella and Alfredo still have his head.“Don't get happy too quickly,” Anya said through the mindlink. “I’ve got a feeling that this is the calm before the storm.”“Yeah right,” I replied, rolling my eyes. “There's no storm coming. If there's one thing, the storm already happened and this is the calm after the storm.”“But–”“Not now, Anya!” I snapped. “Alfredo is going to mark and announce Gabriella as his Luna today, and we’re going to witness that alongside anybody,” I explained. “So, no matter what storms come after this

    Alpha Farrell's PovHow we arrived at the location in the text was a total blur. The stone walls of the shrines were cracked and filled with overgrown vines.As we stepped towards the entrance of the shrine, the door to the shrine creaked open.“Ah, Alpha Farrell,” Alfredo called out gingerly, spreading his arms wide like he was seeing an old friend. “I must say, I'm disappointed you didn't send an official letter. I would have made your welcome, more… memorable,” he smirked.“Cut the crap, Alfredo!” I snarled, bringing out my claws, as I marched forward, Ora flashing in my eyes. “Where's Gabriella? Where are my boys?”“Your boys?” Alfredo chuckled darkly. “I think you're getting things wrong, Alpha Farrell,” he said, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “THEY ARE MY BOYS. And as for my MATE, I'm sure she doesn't want to see you.”“Alfredo!” I growled, charging towards him.“Farrell!” Aiden called out to me from behind.“What?!” I snapped irritatedly, turning sharply to face him

    Alpha Farrell's POVIt's been three days since Aiden made me see things clearly, and honestly speaking, this has been the longest three days of my entire life. It actually felt like an eternity. I'm trying to do things Aiden's way but Ora isn't having it. He's beating himself up about not seeing through this and believing Gabriella won't just abandon us like that.The door to my study swung open and Aiden walked in."Any news from your guys?" I asked impatiently."Yes, they trace Alfredo to a secluded house at the outskirts of his Pack's territory," he explained. "One won't even guess something like that was there," he said. "They'll try and confirm if Gabriella and the boys are there tonight," he continued. "The place is heavily guarded, and if they're indeed there we wouldn't want to tip Alfredo off that we're on to him so we need to be careful and patient–""I don't have patience, Aiden," I said, my voice higher than usual. "I messed up, don't you get it?" I asked rhetorically. "I

    Alpha Farrell's POVIt's been over two weeks and I felt like my life has been sucked out of me. The heavy stench of alcohol was the air I breathed in now, accompanied with the whimpering of my wolf, Ora. What was left of both of us was our brain refusing to accept that Gabriella was truly gone, she left us to be with that scumbag.I can't even tell what's happening physically and what's just a figment of my imaginations. For the first few nights Gabriella left, my nights were plagued with dreams of her returns, but for the rest of the night till now I couldn't tell the difference between day and night, I've been in a loophole of endless emotional torture. Why I feel this way, I had no idea. She wasn't my mate, I've never had one but I'm sure even wolf's that lost their mates didn't feel as empty as I'm feeling right now.Has Gabriella always been like this? Was I blinded by the soft spot Ora had towards her that I couldn't see the real her? All that filled my thoughts were countless q

    Claire's POVIt's been two weeks since Melissa supposedly left Nightshades, and Alpha Farell has basically done nothing but locked himself up in his room, while the omega's dropped cartons of alcohol by his door. Most nights, we could hear him growling, it felt like a part of him left with that bitch. Well, I just need a chance to make him forget all about that bitch at the drop of a hat."Do you have everything that I asked for in there?" I overheard Aiden's voice, it was coming from the kitchen."Yes, Beta Aiden," an omega responded.Curiosity got the better of me, and since I was practically idle at the moment I decided to go find out what's happening."Hey Aiden, what's happening?" I asked ,as I saw trays of different foods lined up."Nothing, just want to take this food to Alpha Farell," he responded and got back to dishing out orders."Isn't this a bit too much?" I asked. "He hasn't eaten for two weeks now, the last thing he'll want is too much food.""I don't know," Aiden said
