Alpha Darin’s POVI stood there with Lucas as we both watched the healer treat Catherine, who had lost consciousness after hearing the news about Darin. I brought her to our mansion as it was the best place to get her treated as fast as possible, and I was glad I did. The healer continued treating her for a while before she raised her head and looked at me."My lord, she is fine now, but she is not out of danger yet. Her pregnancy is already four months, and in three months, she will be giving birth, but she is not marked yet. It's dangerous. Don't you think you should mark her now? It's the best opportunity," the healer advised, and she was right. It was getting too long, and we needed to mark her on time so she would feel more at ease with the pregnancy and be able to give birth, but how could I do that when my brother wasn't around?"I can't. I can't do anything to her until Darin returns. He has to be here while we mark her," I replied to the healer, who immediately looked trouble
Catherine’s POVHearing the question from Alpha Darwin made my heart race, and my cheeks turned red. I turned my head away to avoid his gaze as I was confused. I wanted to give him a reply, but I wasn't sure. I had no idea what my feelings for Alpha Darin were, but all I knew was that I loved being with him. Whenever he was with me, I always felt excited, and his presence made me feel whole. I had no idea whether it was the hormones from the babies in my belly or my true feelings, but my heart raced whenever he touched me or cared for me. His soothing voice always affected me, and his eyes always pulled me in. With him, I felt like I owned the world, and no one could harm me. Without him now, I felt as empty as an old shell, and it scared me. Maybe it's just what the babies are feeling. Maybe I was feeling that way because the babies could not feel them yet, and I was the only one that could feel them on their behalf. That should be it."I don't need a reply from you," Alpha Darwin's
Alpha Darwin’s POVAs Lucas rushed away from the room, my heart skipped a beat, and I cursed inwardly before standing up from the bed and rushing after him. "Lucas!" I called, but he walked away without waiting for me to say anything. I kept chasing after him until he finally got to the sitting room and sat down. "Lucas," I called again, but he only frowned and looked away. "Don't come near," he warned. "Can you just let me explain? It's not what you think." I tried to explain, but he glared at me and shook his head. "What's so hard in staying away? I said I don't want to hear anything!" He yelled, and I flinched. "Lucas? Can you just listen to me, please? You should understand more than this." I tried to persuade him, and he stood up. He turned his back to me, so I walked over to him and stood behind him. "Can we go somewhere to talk? We need a private space to discuss this." I said, and he turned to look at me. He hesitated for a while before he nooded his head. "Okay. Let's go." He
Alpha Darin’s POV Still locked up in the room and waiting for my fate, I heard the door open and looked up only to see a maid carrying a tray of food in hand and walking toward me. She dropped the food in front of me without saying a word and turned to leave, but she turned back and faced me. "You want to leave here, right?" She asked me politely, and I frowned, but I didn't say a word. She sighed, "I can help you escape from here if you want," she added, and my eyes twitched. She finally piqued my interest, and I cocked my head to the side as I gazed at her."What do you mean?" I asked, and she looked around before facing me again. She looked nervous and cautious. "I will help you leave, but you need to promise me that you will take me along with you if I help you." She explained, and my eyes widened. It was obvious she meant what she was saying, but I was surprised. What was going on? "Why would you do that? Who are you?" I questioned her, and her eyes fell. "I'm a sex slave to Elde
WRITER'S POV Catherine was inside the bathroom, bathing, when the door opened, and one of the Alphas walked in. She washed her face upon hearing the sound and turned her head to see who it was that entered the room, but she froze, dropping the sponge in her hand when she realized it was a man, and it was one of the Alphas. At first, she wanted to cover herself, but she stopped and smiled. "Alpha Darin?" She called, and the Alpha's eyes twitched. He walked closer to her and crossed his arms. "How do you know it was me?" He asked, earning himself a low chuckle from Catherine. "Well... I know Alpha Darwin would never enter the bathroom when I'm bathing, and it seems like something is going on between him and Lucas these days. There is no way he'd be here like this." She replied, and Darin smiled.He picked up the sponge that Catherine dropped and started washing her back gently. His face was full of worries as he tried to force a smile, but it wasn't working. "Catherine," he called, and
Lucas was surprised when he saw the Lycan, and for a moment, he couldn't take a step further as he stared at the Lycan. He had heard of the Lycan before, but it was his first time seeing him. He was still thinking about how they could be mates when his wolf pushed him towards the Lycan, and the Lycan walked closer too. The two looked into each other's eyes, and before Lucas could understand what was going on, the Lycan grabbed his waist and pulled him closer. He looked into Lucas's eyes and planted a kiss on Lucas's lips.It was light at first, but it became harder for him to resist Lucas, and he moved in for another kiss. He pressed his lips on Lucas's and kissed him deeply, while Lucas also found himself responding to it hungrily, and he felt good. Their lips moved in sync for a while before Lucas's eyes widened, and he pushed the Lycan away from him. "Stay away!" he cried, but they already kissed. The Lycan smiled. "I've been looking for you for a very long time, but I didn't know
WRITER'S POV Alpha Darin moved toward them and grabbed Catherine from behind. He thought his brother would be wallowing in pain, but seeing him playing with Catherine made him happy, and he wanted to join too. Alpha Darwin noticed Alpha Darin's presence and he broke the kiss. He smiled at Alpha Darin and they both chuckled. Catherine looked at the two and a small blush crept to her cheeks as she was a little shy. “You're here,” she said to Alpha Darin, who only replied by nodding his head before he turned her to make her face him. He held her chin and raised her head, pressing their lips together, he mumbled, “I'm here for you.” He deepened the kiss and his tongue entered her mouth and Catherine responded accordingly. Alpha Darwin pressed her butt from behind, feeling the softness of her round ass while he planted light kisses on the neck and shoulder, earning himself a low moan from Catherine in between the kiss with Alpha Darin. She broke the kiss and turned to Alpha Darwin, init
WRITER'S POV Lucas and Lycan Edward continued their hearty conversation as no one was there to interrupt them any longer. "I'm happy that my mate is a man. It would have been confusing if it was a woman, since I’m gay. I've always been scared of that, but I guess luck is on my side," Lycan Edward said excitedly, and Lucas nodded his head in agreement. He was having mixed feelings. He was happy yet sad, while his wolf was extremely happy, but he was worried.Lycan Edward noticed the confused expression on Lucas's face, and he was worried, thinking something was wrong with his mate. "Is everything alright? You don't look very happy," he questioned calmly, and Lucas raised his eyes to look at him and sighed. He wanted to reply that he was fine and dismiss the conversation, but he couldn't, and he found himself opening his mouth calmly, "The thing is, I like Alpha Darwin... We have something together," he blurted, and Lycan Edward smiled. He wasn't angry at all, he felt relaxed that Lucas
Epilogue (24 years later) "When are they coming?" Catherine asked Theo and Leo, who shrugged their shoulders. "The driver has already gone to pick them up, Mother," Theo and Leo responded with a grunt. They were already growing annoyed and frustrated with how eager their mother was to see their younger brother and his supposed fiancée."You two don't seem happy to meet her," Catherine spoke, and they both rolled their eyes before Leo responded. "There is nothing to be excited about, Mother. We are twenty-eight years old and haven't found our mates. There is nothing to be happy about," he spoke out frustrated, while his mother gave him a pitiful look. She knew the pain of her two sons not finding their mates, and since they had just become Alphas, they really wanted to have their mates with them."Where are Fathers?" Leo asked. "They will join us soon," she responded while taking a deep breath. "But we should be happy for your younger brother. He has found a girl he truly loves and wis
Four years later “Give me that Leo, Theo.” Catherine shouted as she ran at the two boys, who were incredibly fast for their age. Filled with sweat, she raced them down the stairs as the two boys giggled happily and sped down the stairs. They got to the sitting room, and just then Alpha Darin and Darwin walked through the entrance door. “Fathers!” The little boys screamed and hugged their fathers. “What are you champs up to?” Alpha Darin asked as he ruffled the hair of the two boys.“Thank God you are here, these boys took my comb and ran away with it.” Catherine grumbled as she reached where they stood with panting breath. “We wanted to help with combing her hair, but she refused.” Theo responded with a pout. “So we had to run away with her comb.” Leo added, and both alphas laughed at the mischievousness of their sons. “It’s not funny.” Catherine rolled her eyes, faking anger, while Alpha Darwin grinned and placed a quick kiss on her lips. “This is just the beginning.” He teased, and
Three months later…Catherine was in her room, sleeping, when she felt kisses on her face, and she opened her eyes. Seeing that it was Alpha Darwin, she revealed a sweet smile and covered her face as she yawned. “Yawning beauty, it's your birthday!” Alpha Darwin reminded her, and she giggled. “Happy birthday, angel,” he added, making her blush. She sat up in bed and hugged him. “Thank you very much,” she said as she broke the hug, but Alpha Darwin pulled her in and kissed her forehead. “My pleasure,” he replied.Catherine looked around the room. “Where is Darin?” she asked.Alpha Darwin smiled. “He's around the corner. He is coming,” he replied as he pulled away and looked at her face. “Here, I brought you a gift,” he said and picked a small box from his pocket, which he handed to her with a smile on his face. Catherine collected the box from him, opened it, and gasped! She had to wipe her eyes to look at the gift that was inside the box again, and she was flabbergasted. “This… It's a
Alpha Darin and Alpha Darwin walked toward Catherine with excitement in their eyes. The fears in their hearts had completely evaporated away, and all that remained was their joy as they stared at the exhausted but excited Catherine. "The babies are fine," Catherine mumbled, brimming with relief and joy as she opened her eyes to look at Alpha Darin and Alpha Darwin. "Look, the twins are fine. They came out well," she said, pointing to her children, who were in the arms of a maid and the healer. Her excitement knew no bounds, and she couldn't stop smiling.Alpha Darwin collected the baby in the hand of the maid, while Alpha Darin collected the one in the hand of the healer, and they both smiled at each other. Hearing the cries of the babies made their hearts race, and they felt like the cries were their favorite songs. Their happiness was just indescribable, and their smiles could not wane. "The babies... They are identical," Alpha Darwin said as he looked at the baby in his arms and the
Two months later...Catherine was in her room; she had just taken her bath and was combing her hair while sitting in front of her mirror. She was humming gently to herself until she felt a presence in the room. Turning her head, a smile appeared on her face when she saw it was Alpha Darin and Alpha Darwin. They walked toward her; Alpha Darin took the brush from her and started combing her hair, while Alpha Darwin stood beside her, gently massaging her shoulder."You two look worried. What's going on?" Catherine asked when she saw the look on Alpha Darin and Alpha Darwin's faces. She knew something was wrong and worried that it might be related to a war, which she feared so much. "You can tell me anything," she added when she realized they were hesitating.Alpha Darwin sighed. "You know the pregnancy is six months now, and in a month, you could give birth. Don't you think it's time to mark you?" He asked, and Catherine's eyes widened. She turned to look at Alpha Darin and Alpha Darwin,
Alpha Darin’s POV I walked down the stairs with various thoughts in my mind. My feelings were complicated, and I had no way to resolve them. "Where are you going, Darin?" Darwin asked when he noticed me, snapping me out of my thoughts, and I looked at him. "What?" I asked with a raised brow. "I asked where you are going," he repeated. The truth was that his question registered, but I was too lost to figure it out.I sighed and replied, "I want to go and see Anabella in the dungeon." I saw him frown and ask, "Anabella in the dungeon? Why do you want to do that?" I shrugged, "I just feel like seeing her. I want to see her..." I mumbled, doubting my own words. I had no idea why I felt like seeing her when she had already caused so much trouble.Darwin seemed confused too and stood up. He walked toward me, standing in front of me. "Her trial is in a few minutes from now. Why don't you wait till then?" Darwin suggested, but I shook my head. "I don't want to wait. I want to see her before t
Lucas was in his room, about to sleep for the night, when he heard a knock on the door, and he stood up. He walked toward the door and opened it, revealing Lycan Edward. "It's you?" He asked, and Lycan Edward nodded. He opened the door wide for him to enter and closed it. "You were about to sleep, right?" Lycan Edward asked, and Lucas smiled. "Yeah..." He replied. "I only came to wish you a good night as I will be going to bed soon too." Lycan Edward explained and was about to leave when Lucas held his hand but immediately dropped it. "Er... I wanted to... invite you to sit," he stuttered, and Lycan Edward smiled. He nodded and found his way to Lucas's bed where he sat down, and Lucas sat beside him. "You look stressed," Lucas remarked as the first thing he noticed the moment Lycan Edward entered his room was his face. He looked exhausted, like someone who hadn't rested for days, and it bothered him. Lycan Edward revealed a sweet smile. "I've been burying myself in work these days so
WRITER'S POVA WEEK LATERLycan Edward was in his room working away on a file when he heard a knock on the door. He was about to ask who it was when he caught the tantalizing scent of Lucas, and he smiled. "Come in," he said, and the door opened, revealing Lucas with a cup of coffee in his hand. "This is for you," Lucas said as he walked closer to Lycan Edward and placed the cup of coffee on the table.Lycan Edward was impressed. He looked at the cup of coffee on the table, and a smile bloomed on his face. "How did you know I was craving coffee?" he asked sweetly as he gazed at Lucas standing in front of him. Lucas's eyes softened, and he smiled. "I'm your Mate. Of course, I should know what you want," he joked, and Lycan Edward chuckled. He closed the file he was working on and gestured to a seat for Lucas. "You can sit," he offered, and Lucas nodded as he sat down, facing Lycan Edward.Lycan Edward looked at Lucas with a loving gaze. The fine young man who had been with him for a we
CATHERINE'S POVI searched around the bed for Alpha Darin and Darwin, who slept beside me last night, but none of them were there. The space was empty, and as I opened my eyes, I looked around the room but couldn't find them, leaving me a bit confused. A knock came on the door, "Come in," I said, and the door opened, revealing a maid. "Your breakfast, ma'am," the maid said, and I nodded. She carried it to the table and placed the tray there. "Have you seen any of the Alphas?" I asked the maid, who shook her head. "No, ma'am, I haven't seen them today at all," she replied, and I frowned. "Okay," I replied, as I knew there was no point in continuing the conversation with her when she already said she had no idea where the Alphas were.She was about to leave the room when she turned back and asked, "If you need help taking your bath, I can do that for you, My Lady." She suggested sincerely, but I shook my head. "Don't worry. I can do that myself," I said, and she bowed before leaving th
