ALPHA RHYS. It had been days leading up to weeks since Arabella died. I opened her corpse the other day and couldn't look at her rotten body. It was hard to swallow the pill. Her death had been hard on me. And I could feel it affecting the pack too. I had started to do things I wouldn't normally do. Like using the maids to make me forget for a moment. Her death had changed me a great deal and I have not been able to handle it well. Then I thought that marking Mia and making her the Luna would make this better. And it would make the bond stronger because since Arabella died, the bond grew worse. She slipped off my hands. Her presence didn't make me feel anything. If anything I felt worse. I felt hollow. Empty. Void. It wasn't good at all. Mia made that hole worse. It made me question the mate bond a lot of times. How could I feel a lot more attracted to someone who wasn't my mate? That in her absence I felt like a dead man. Then I thought making her the Luna of the pack and ma
JACK. I grabbed another blank sheet from the pile in front of me to make adjustments to the letter I wrote with ink. The elders loved inked letters rather than printed ones which was cool to me. I loved traditional things as well. It was just pleasing in a way. I was half way through the sheet when I heard the door push open. Her scent scattered in my nostrils and this made me look up at the clock. It was a few minutes after one in the middle of the night. Why wasn't asleep yet? “Why are you here?” I asked softly, fixing my eyes on my work. I didn't want to make an inevitable mistake. I already have piles of blank sheets next to me. “I couldn't sleep.” She sat on my bed, heaving like she had piles of burden on her shoulders. “Why,” I asked, now looking at her. Jenny was usually an easy sleeper. She slept like a baby hence it worried me now that she couldn't sleep. “Nothing to be worried about. It should be the caffeine I took at noon,” she said. I nodded. That was a good exc
ARABELLA. “Push!” The doctor slapped my thigh to induce the baby or me. I did not care, I was too much in pain to give a fuck about what anyone was doing. No one told me labor was freaking hard especially when you have three babies coming out of you. My forehead was soaked with my sweat and my eyes swelled with tears. I felt my pussy expand again, the head of the baby coming forth. “I can see it, push!” I got yelled out again. Perhaps they weren't yelling but the pain mixed with anger that I felt wouldn't let me know the difference. I groaned and pushed again. Did I have to do this? I was exhausted because I had already pushed out two kids. The last one was proving stubborn. Goodness, she had to have taken my stubbornness. I cried, thrashed, and puffed before I was able to get the baby out of me. Her cry filled the room while I fell to the bed wearily. “You did well. You did well.” The doctor praised me. Well, it turned out they were not witches and wizards but people who genu
ALPHA RHYS. I warned her to not make any sound. Her sound would only make me uninterested in fucking her. She held the sheet, groaning and puffing as I rammed into her. I breathed out regularly feeling the pleasure ripple in her tight pussy. Amber was the new maid Mia got recently, she thought that Amber being a little young, she wouldn't want to fuck me. However, she was wrong, every woman would do anything to fuck me. I grabbed Amber’s hair and then plunged into her cunt ridiculously hard like a ravenous animal. I was an animal and definitely ravenous. My urges have never been satisfied, it was always average and I have the desire to fuck every woman. While I was ramming into her, a knock came on the door disturbing my peace. “Goo... Away!” I yelled. “Alpha, it is Luna Mia, she gave birth to a bouncing baby boy!” Craig's voice penetrated my ears. I turned my head to the door, Amber still fucking my cock. Her legs were throbbing indicating that she had reached climax. I let h
ARABELLA. Damon and Declan ran to me from the stairs, they jumped on me wrapping their tiny legs around my torso. I was wearing a white penciled gown that stopped over my knee and they took the pleasure of staining it with their lollipop. “Oh, you two just had to leave your stain on Mommy!” I carried them both although they were both heavy. I have been gaining some muscles. It had been five years, my children had grown and sometimes I get scared that they would bring their mates to me one day. James names my kids and he used the letter ‘D’ to name name; Daman, Declan, and Delinda. My three adorable kids. They have the most beautiful hazel eyes that sometimes make me remember their father. Rhys had brown eyes with a hint of yellow in them. Looking at my kids often got me remembering him. Delinda took my eyes though but she took her father’s pointed nose while the boys took my round ones. It was a distributed facial feature. “Mommy, sorry.” Damon rubbed my clothes innocently, onl
ALPHA JACK. Dad gave me the bill I came for but made me sit for a discussion. I looked at him with a face that just wanted to leave. “I know you haven't found your mate and now I think it is high time you choose a mate and Luna. The pack needs another woman.” I sighed mentally slapping myself for not sending Gray to come pick up the bill instead. Now, I was trapped with him. “Look at Jenny, she is beautiful and strong. She will help you build the pack and you two will have the most beautiful kids,” he added. I frowned at his suggestion. “I am not choosing Jenny as a Luna.” I looked away. “Who do you want to choose then? The woman with triplets?!” He frowned. “Yes, her kids love me, and they refer to me as a father. Making her my wife would be just right,” I said. His eyes looked like they would grow out of the socket. He banged the table suddenly but I didn't flinch. “You will not marry a woman who has given birth to three children!” He yelled. “Is it your marriage
First ChapterArabella’s POVAfter rolling on my bed for what seemed like hours, I decided to get up to get some fresh air from outside. There’s no need forcing myself to sleep. It’s obvious that it’s one of those nights when my body doesn’t want to feel at rest. It’s weird, I know but you can’t blame me. I have literal triplets. I’m used to chaos all the time. I guess that’s why I struggle with sleep sometimes.I step out of my room and go outside into the silence of the night. The air is moonlit and cool. I smile as the cool breeze touches my skin.I sigh in satisfaction. The moon has a way of making everything better. I watch as the stars shimmer in the sky. The peaceful night contrasts with the heavy burden I have in my heart. No matter how much I try, I can’t fully be at peace.My mind drifts to Alpha Rhys and I don’t know why.It hurts loving someone who’s a jackass. I wish I could erase him from my memory but sometimes, I find myself thinking about him. Love sucks.My feeli
Arabella’s POV “Is it Jack?” I asked her. She looked at me with tears in her eyes “Yes” I was stunned when she admitted this. Immediately, I started to wonder what Jack could have said or done to make her sad to the point that she cried profusely. Jack is a good man. Two of them are as close as two peas in a pod so what could have gone wrong? “What happened between you two?” I asked her. “He-” she opened her mouth to continue but closed it and shook her head “It doesn’t matter” “Come on, you can tell me” She looked at the floor “It’s stupid” “Don’t say that. There has to be a valid reason for why you were upset” “Fine” she sighed “He said he doesn’t love me” The words hung heavy in the air as soon as she said them. For a second, all I could hear was the sound of my own heartbeat. I knew Jenny loved Jack. Even a blind man would see it. I assumed he liked her too. I’m surprised to hear her say this. “He said what?” I shrieked “Wait…hold on. Jenny, you’re gonna have to sta
ARABELLA POV“I can’t believe you’re getting married,” Lily said.I turned away from the mirror to face her. “Do you think I could be potentially making a mistake?”Lily laughed and playfully slapped my arm. “Don’t be silly, Arabella. You thought about this for months. You even went through the painful process of telling everyone your identity.”I smiled at the memory of that. “Yeah, it went surprisingly well. People took it in pretty well.”“You know the one they took in the most? The arrest and public death of Mia.”My mood dampened just a bit. My half sister was killed two weeks ago and here I was, getting married to the man she was previously married to. Rhys asked me not to overthink it as he wasn’t even hers to begin with, and I was working towards that step. I turned to Lily again.“Do you think James and Jenny would make it? They promised that they would show up today and they’re not here yet.”Lily slapped her forehead in embarrassment. She’s been slapping a lot of things lat
RHYS POVI stood outside the boys’ quarters, thinking of how best to go over this. If Jack wanted us to talk about whatever he wanted to talk about, then this was a big secret opener. I was dying to see just how much secret he was willing to uncover, and that included Mia.She was dancing when I stepped into her room. As always, it was open and inviting, as if she was waiting for the day when I would finally accept her. Was she expecting that day to be today? Had she done all this just because she wanted me?Yes, dumb ass. Yes.I ignored my wolf voice and cleared my throat. She stopped dancing and smiled brightly at me, as if I was the sunshine at the end of her tunnel.“You’re here,” she said, wiping her brows with a face towel.“And you’re dancing,” I commented. “What’s the occasion?”“You’ve confined me to this mean, smelly place and I have to get used to it, Rhys.” She gulped down a glass of water. “The fact still remains that I’m your wife and I will be until I sign the divorce p
ARABELLA POVI’ve never had so many things happen to me in the space or hours or minutes but it was definitely happening now. First my children gets kidnapped, then after 24 long, excruciating hours, I go to get them and discover they had somehow managed to free themselves. Then I stupidly went into to the cabin instead of running away with them only to get kidnapped again and have a gun pointed at me.“Your children was a handful,” the first man said. “That is not surprising. I see now where they got it from. You do know we can’t leave you alive after this?”I immediately clasped my hands together in prayer. “Please, I’m begging you with the almighty name of the moon goddess, please let us go. I swear I’ve packed all my things! I’m ready to leave now.”He shook his head. “You’ve seen our face, lady. I wish there was some other way to not kill you—”The door burst open, forcing a startled scream out of me. The kidnapper in front of me trembled. I angled my body to the side and shifted
ARABELLA POV“What are you going to do now?” Lily asked me. “Do you have any plans on how to tackle this?”I paused my restless pacing and turned to her. “I’m burnt out, Lily. I don’t know what to do! I’ve tried to think of every possible thing but nothing. Rhys isn’t even helping matters. He thinks Mia is innocent simply because she hasn’t left the house in days!”“And the kidnappers want you to leave?”“Yes! They clearly said no money, that I should just leave. Who else would not want money and ask me to leave?”She cocked her head at me as both of our mind went to Mia. She was the only sworn enemy that I had that would dare though my children and go Scot free. Thinking about it made by blood boil. I wanted to grab her hair and force her head into a hot oven…“Okay, you’re making that face again, “ Lily said. “We just need to think about what to do next, Arabella. I know this must come as a shock…”“It’s quite the shock, Lily.”“But we have better things to do like waiting for the k
Arabella PovI realized I was vibrating with fear and doom. I needed to calm down, but the thought of my children going through the most traumatic experience of their life was chilling to the bone. Why was it only them that was kidnapped out of all the children coming to school? The kidnappers had technically been aiming for me and my children. I glanced at Mia. It was her. It had to be her. There were no other logic asides the fact that Mia has a vindictive aura towards me and she was not afraid to use them.I turned my back to them and spoke into the phone. “What do you want, please? Can you just let my children go, please? I’ll do anything.”‘Of course you’ll do as you’re told, Dr. Emma, or you’ll never see your children again.”I shivered once more, bracing myself as I asked the most important question. “What do you want then? Is it money? How much would you need to let my kids go?”“You insult us, Dr. Emma. We don’t need your money. We only need you to do one thing and we’ll retu
ARABELLA POVI was very upset, and rightfully so too. I thought about Rhys every day for five days, mostly wondering if he didn’t want to let Mia go. Did he trust her enough to be sure that she hadn’t killed his father? If only I had enough time then to pressure the guy more so he would tell me the truth about Mia. She certainly had more wicked things up her sleeve and I was very desperate to reveal them to the world.“Dr. Emma, you’ve wiped that post four times in a row now,” a nurse said.I jerked back into consciousness and realized that I was in the hospital, wiping a patient’s wrist over and over so I coke inject their antibiotic for them. Murmuring my apologies, I quickly gave them their dose and stood up.“You look tired,” the nurse who had called my attention said. “You can go home; I’ll cover your shift for you. I’m not sure I want to see you dozing off the rest of your days here.”“I’m fine,” I saidSpacing out. I was constantly spacing out because I was concerned for Rhys an
ARABELLA POVI was really bumped and hyped with energy when I took Bruno back to the car. He asked load of questions about why he wasn’t allowed to see the prisoner and I said something in the lines of how his ears were too little to hear all the important details. It would really sick if he had to hear from a strange prisoner that his mother was involved in a crime.Once I left him in the car and locked it, I ran back to the cell. My heart was drumming with excitement. I imagined that prisoner holding Mia’s picture and announcing that she was the one who had made the order. Oh, that would make so much sense! However, when I joined Rhys minutes later, I noticed that he was silent and now holding the picture, having collected it back from the Rogul. The Rogul was snacking heavily on the food I brought, which I now every much regret since the mood wasn’t what I expected it to be.“What did he say?” I asked Rhys, a note of desperation in my voice. “He was holding Mia’s picture, right?”
ARABELLA POVI had a plan. A grand, beautiful plan. Rhys was going to be here anytime soon and he would be solely against it, which means I have to be wise towards it. I knocked once on the children’s door before opening it. They were laughing and walking about, looking for the perfect fit.“Mom!” Delinda cried when she saw me. “Do you think I should wear a dress to the park? I can’t seem to find the perfect fit.”I smiled reassuringly as I remained at the door. “You don’t need to stress to much, my darling. You guys should all wear shorts and shirt—you can wear a skirt, Delinda—and carry a backpack too.”Damon frowned. “A back pack?”“Yeah. It’ll make you looo smart, like a professor.”I knew they would accept readily to what I said, yet I waited on high tension. When they finally agreed to dress like professors and carry their backpack, I grinned. Earlier today in the morning, I came across Bruno’s backpack and I slipped in Mia’s picture in it. At first when I saw her picture lying
MIA POVI paced around my room, completely restless. He hasn’t been sleeping at home lately and now Bruno was gone. When he was brought back from rhe hospital, Rhys took him away and said he wanted to take him to a recovery center. How long do recovery centers usually take? Did Arabella put this idea into his head?Oh, Arabella, that wench!I laughed wildly as I continued to pace around. She thought she won this time, didn’t see? She was the lowly, stupid omega in the past, and now she’s come back a bit chic doctor who’s trying to steal my man? How are people not violent towards this act?! Do I need to start an uproar? She’s not going to win against me. The deadly wench is not going to win me.“You do not get to have the last laugh!” I roared loudly, and then fell to my bedroom floor in a beep.My hair was a mess. With everything going awry, I haven’t give my much thought to how untidy I’d been. That was fine; it didn’t matter what I looked like. I would have every single thing I’d ev
