Alpha Darin's POVI was seated in the living room having a glass of wine when the door opened and Lucas walked in with Darwin.After they entered, Darwin closed the door and Lucas headed to his room immediately. I looked at him and averted my gaze to Darwin, who had an unfathomable expression on his face. No one needed to tell me that something was wrong. He sat close to me and I faced him.“What's going on? Why is your face like that?” I asked and he sighed.“I don't know what's wrong with me, Darin. I'm supposed to feel attraction towards Catherine. Catherine is obviously my mate but I'm feeling attracted to Lucas instead. I just don't understand what the heck is going on and it's bothering me seriously.” He explained to me and I pondered on what he had just said.“Maybe it's because you still like Lucas and you're seeing him all the time. If you keep being friendly and all smiley with Lucas, there's no way those feelings will disappear, it'll only grow. The solution to that is to s
Catherine's POVI woke up and was surprised to see myself in the mansion. I looked around, trying to figure out how and when I got here. The last thing I remembered was being dipped into a big glass and when I tried to protest, a handkerchief was placed in my nose and I became unconscious.I tried to remember how I got to the mansion and while I was doing that, one of the Alphas appeared and I looked at him, still stunned. When he saw me, a smile formed on his lips.“Catherine, you're awake!” He exclaimed and ran to hug me. “Are you okay? How're you? How are you feeling?” He asked and I could feel my clothes getting wet.Shit! Was he crying?I was shocked and realized that this was Alpha Darin. He was the most emotional towards me. With that in mind, I smiled and hugged him back.“You're an Alpha. You are not supposed to be shedding tears this way.” I scolded him.He sniffed and pulled away from the hug then stared at me with a sad expression on his face. “You scared the hell out of m
Alpha Darin’s POVI became restless when I realized that she was thinking of leaving. She already told us why, but what about her baby? What about us? What about me? I can't let her go. I'm already used and attached to her. She was someone I woke up thinking about every morning, and it wouldn't be nice if she left just like that. I sat and thought of different ways for her not to leave. All I needed was a plan; an excuse, anything. I just don't want her to go.A perfect excuse suddenly popped up in my head and I looked up at her. “But you are Darwin's mate. Why do you want to leave?” I asked and she frowned. I knew there was a possibility that she wasn't Darwin's mate, but I wanted to use that as an excuse. I wanted something that would make her think twice about the decision she was about to make.“Even though he is my mate, I can't continue to stay here, Alpha Darin.” She replied adamantly, and I frowned.When I noticed that she wasn't ready to give in yet, I changed the topic. You'
Alpha Darin's POV“I'm so sorry!” I apologized and turned immediately. My heart was racing so fast and I couldn't help the feeling of embarrassment that came over me.“Why did you turn? Why are you acting like you haven't seen me naked before?” She asked and I couldn't believe what I just heard.I turned around and saw that she was still naked. I cleared my throat and looked away. She took her cream and walked up to me, then stretched it.“Help me apply the cream on my back.” She requested and my eyes widened.“Are you sure about that?” I asked because I wasn't really comprehending what she was doing. This was something she hadn't told me to do before. I didn't think applying cream on her back when it was just the two of us here was a good idea, but on the other hand, I wouldn't want anybody else to see her either.“Yes, I'm sure. Apply it on my back, please.” She requested.“Okay, if you say so,” I sighed and took the cream from her. When I had put it on my hand, she turned her back
Catherine's POVAfter he answered, I glanced at him in confusion, wondering if he was really the one. I scrutinized him from head to toes and folded my hands.“Were you really the one?” I asked.He nodded. “Yeah, if you don't believe me, I could tell you where we met. It was near a merry-go-round.” He explained and that was when I realized that he was really the one.“Oh my goodness! We met again. And all this time we've been together, we didn't know we had met before.” I chuckled.“Wow, this is… wow.” He replied with a smile and I smiled back.“I don't know why the memories of all that happened is still fresh in my head. Even though I was a little girl when it happened, the memories were still there.” I said and he turned me to face him.“It's fate that made us meet again. I'm sure about that,” He said and I nodded in agreement. “I just want to say I'm sorry for pushing you. You got that mark because of me. I really don't know where to start apologizing from. I was just a kid. I'm so
Alpha Darwin's POVI laid on my bed to sleep and checked the side of the bed to see if my phone was there but I couldn't find it. I tried to think of where I had kept it when I recalled that I had left it in Catherine's room when we were there earlier.I groaned and stood up. I didn't want to teleport and walked to the room instead. When I got there, I opened the door and my heart churned at what I saw. Darin was on the bed with Catherine. I clenched my fists in anger as I stared at them. How dare he? Why did she even allow him touch her? Goodness knows what might have happened between them.I glared at Darin and he stood up. “It's not what you're thinking, Darwin.” He said and I scoffed inwardly. Like I'm a fool or what? I didn't answer him. I picked up my phone and when he was trying to explain further, I teleported from there. I appeared in my room and paced around as the image of what they might be doing or have done flashed in my head. I shook my head to dismiss the thoughts.
Alpha Darwin's POVAfter the experience with Lucas, I appeared back in the mansion and met Darin in the sitting room. It looked like he was waiting for me because the minute he saw me, he rushed to me immediately.“Darwin, I'm sorry. Just let me explain what happened,” He said but that was the least on my mind. All I wanted to do at this time was to find Lucas and that was exactly what I started doing.I looked around, trying to find Lucas. I knew I shouldn't have done what I did. It wasn't right of me to try that with him even in my drunk state and it wasn't my fault that I missed him as well. I only expressed what I felt but made a mistake that made it backfire.“Where is Lucas? Have you seen him?” I asked Darin and he shook his head.“The last time I heard from him was when he called to tell me he had found you and was going to meet you.” He answered and I sighed.Where the heck could he have gone to? Where? I became restless as I couldn't figure out his whereabouts. I tried to min
Catherine's POVAfter Alpha Darwin rushed out, I became angry at myself for trying to have something to do with two brothers at the same time in just a space of a few hours. Like what the heck is wrong with me? What came over me?I placed my hand on my forehead and took a deep breath to calm myself down. I was still feeling angry. I stood up and zipped up my gown then left the room for mine.When I got to my room, I stood with my hands placed on my waist as I thought of what I had done. While I was still thinking, the door opened and one of the Alphas came in. When I looked at him, I knew it was Alpha Darin and sighed.He looked at me from head to toe before meeting my eyes. “You don't look good. What's the matter?” He asked.How the heck was I going to tell him that I'm mad at myself for what I did with him and his brother? I can't tell him that. “I just want to be left alone.” I answered.“Come on, Catherine, if anything is bothering you, you can talk to me about it. We might try a
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
