Catherine's POVMy hands were still on his collar as I waited for him to say something. If he isn't ready to let me go, I'd have to threaten my way out of it. He can't just keep me locked up here and expect me to act like I like it, not after all he has done to me.“Are you letting me go or not?” I snapped, but he remained quiet.Lucas stood up and walked up to us. “Cathy, you have to let go of him. It's a taboo to hold an Alpha like that,” He said and I continued to glare daggers at Alpha Darin. “Okay? Calm down.” He said and I placed my hands on my head.“I can't calm down, Lucas. I can't. Oh my gosh, I am such a fool, I am so stupid. I'm an idiot!” I snapped at myself and Lucas sighed.“Cathy…”“How could I be so foolish? How could I be so stupid and naive that I couldn't notice anything even when the signs were there? Everything played out right in front of me. The warning signals were there. Why was I so blind to see them?” I groaned as I tried my best to stop my tears from falli
Catherine's POVWhen I realized that the person I fell for was Alpha Darin and not Alpha Darwin, I started screaming and allowed the tears to fall freely down my cheeks. I couldn't help the pain that shot through my system. It was so excruciating that I didn't know what to do with it. All I wanted was to scream it all out. It had been Alpha Darin all these while.Lucas rushed to me and held me. “Please, calm down.” He said but I shook my head.This wasn't the time to calm down.“I can't calm down, Lucas. I can't!” I yelled. “Everything has been a lie. Everything that was going on was a lie, the love was a lie! The talks, the feelings, everything!” I wailed.While I was wailing, Alpha Darin walked up to me. “Everything was not a lie. It doesn't matter if it's me or my brother, Catherine. Nothing has changed. I haven't changed.” He said and that seemed to fuel my anger.“You!” I snapped. “Get out and leave me the hell alone!” I yelled but he still stood there. The more I saw his face, t
Alpha Darwin's POVAfter leaving the room with Darin, I left for my room and sat at the bar taking a glass of wine. I sighed as I thought about everything that has been happening. The door flew open and Elliot stormed in.I sighed and I felt guilty to see the hurt in his face.“How could you do this to me? Where did I go wrong? What didn't I do right? Why did you do this to me, Alpha Darwin?” He asked, his voice breaking as he spoke.“Elliot, listen to me,” I tried to speak but he turned his back to me. I continued anyway. “You have to understand me, Elliot. All that happened was a mistake. It was a one time thing.” I tried to explain but he turned to face me and snapped.“A one time thing led to pregnancy, Alpha Darwin. That girl is pregnant. She is pregnant!” He exclaimed and covered his forehead.I could sense the fear, the pain, hurt and tension in his voice and considering the fact that he was someone I cared about, I didn't want him to go through that. I felt bad for what he was
Alpha Darin's POV“How could he say such a thing?” I asked and looked at Darwin. I mindlinked the beta to come to the living room immediately. We waited for like a minute before he walked in. The expression on his face wasn't a good one but that doesn't mean I will let him off easily.“Why would you threaten Catherine like that?” I asked angrily.“Why won't I tell her off, huh? I didn't threaten her, I only told her to leave because all this is unfair. Why would you people do something like this to Elliot? You ignored his love for you and did this horrible thing to him. Why did you do it?” He snapped angrily.“It's not our fault. You can't question our actions. Catherine is our breeder and we couldn't control ourselves. It's the will of the moon goddess and that's why it happened.” I answered him.“It's not the will of the moon goddess. It's our own mistake. Stop putting the blame on the moon goddess.” Darwin said and walked away.I sighed and ruffled my hair before turning to face th
Alpha Darwin's POV“No! I can't let that happen!” Darin yelled the minute the healer mentioned that the only solution to Catherine's problem was to flush the pregnancy out.When he said that I was equally shocked. But that was the only way to make her live, right? I looked at Lucas then as Darin. I have been watching the whole process quietly with a lot going on in my mind. Aside from the guilt I felt from all these, there was still the embarrassment and it stopped me from expressing anything at all, and so I just kept quiet and watched the whole process while showing no emotions but this one caught me off guard.“That can't happen. What sort of obnoxious solution is that? I won't let it happen. Catherine is keeping the baby!” Darin snapped.“That's the only way to save her, Alpha. The pregnancy must be flushed out for her to live. She's too weak to carry it.” The healer said but Darin wasn't ready to listen.Lucas stood up and frowned at Darin. “What the heck are you saying? You want
Catherine's POVWhy would they suggest such a thing? That I flush out my baby? I can't do that. I have the right to keep my baby.I looked at everyone in the room and then back at the healer. “Isn't there another way?” I asked.He sighed and shook his head. “The only way is to flush out the baby or you risk your life.” He answered and I could feel my heart breaking into pieces.The thoughts about losing the baby alone started making me to panick. My breathing became unsteady and I placed my hand on my chest. I can't lose my baby.“Catherine, you have to calm down.” Alpha Darwin cooed but I couldn't bring myself to calm down.“I can't calm down. I can't. My baby!” I exclaimed as my breathing became Haggard and forced.I was so scared. The thought of losing my baby alone made me terrified and I couldn't control myself anymore. I looked at them, and they had scared looks on their faces.Alpha Darwin rushed to me and sat on the bed facing me. He held my shoulders and commanded. “Look into
Catherine's POVI was about to come down from the bed when my father walked into the room.“Catherine?” He called, looking at me lovingly.“Father,” I whispered slowly and lowered my head. I was so ashamed of myself that I couldn't even look into his eyes. I've done wrong and goodness knows what he might probably say to me. He's going to yell at me for sure. I've let him down. I fucked up big time!I sniffed, waiting for him to say something. He walked up to me and embraced me. My eyes widened and I was lost for words.“Oh, Catherine,” He patted my back and caressed my hair.I expected him to yell at me. Why on Earth did he hug me? “I'm sorry, Catherine,” He apologized and I became more confused. I was supposed to be the one apologizing.“Father? Why are you apologizing? I'm the one who did the wrong thing here. I should be the one apologizing, not you.” I said.“No, Catherine. I apologize for everything. I wasn't here to protect you, I wasn't here to guide you like a good father wou
Alpha Darwin's POVAfter leaving Catherine's room, I returned to my room and plopped down on the couch. I ruffled my hair and sighed heavily. A knock came on the door and I looked in its direction.“Come in,” I said.There was silence for a while before the door opened. I stood up when I noticed that it was Lucas. As he approached me, I couldn't help but feel drawn to him. I still haven't gotten over him and I don't think I ever will.He walked up to me and stopped in front of me. “What's wrong? Is there any problem?” I asked worriedly.He shook his head. “There's nothing. I think I'm going to have to stay here for the meantime since Catherine is here as well. I'm worried about her and I don't want to leave her alone here. She is the only sibling I have and I love her so much. I don't want anything to happen to her.” He requested and I forced a smile.“Sure, there's no problem. I'm totally fine with that. You can stay here if you don't think that Catherine is safe here. There are plen
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
