Catherine's POV“What did you say?” I asked to be sure I heard well the first time. Because I don't understand what he's trying to say.“I'm trying to say that what happened between us was a mistake. It was not intended to happen.” He said, and I couldn't help but scoff. Was he really being serious right now? My heart came crashing to pieces. All these while and after everything that happened between us, he called it a mistake? Was this how men behave nowadays? How could he tell me it was a mistake?“Alpha Darwin,” I called, looking at him hurtfully. He looked up at me. “How can you call everything we shared a mistake?” I asked, and he looked at me in confusion.“What do you mean?” He asked.“If what happened between us was a mistake, then how come we did it so many times? Are you trying to hurt me or just play with my feelings?” I asked with a snap.How could he think of playing with my feelings this way? Was it fair?“I don't understand what you're talking about.” He blurted out.“O
Alpha Darin's POVI got so mad when Darwin punched me, and I had no choice but to retaliate. When I retaliated, he looked at me angrily and grabbed me by the collar, then punched me again. I yanked his hands away from my neck and punched him in the nose with all my might. The pain was excruciating, and all the blood was drained from his face. He staggered backwards, and I used that as an opportunity to pin him to the wall.He pushed me back and pinned me to the wall this time around.“Stop!” Catherine yelled.We turned to look at her, but it seemed the more we looked at her face, the more our anger for each other grew. Darwin threw a punch, but I caught his hand in midair and attempted to punch him as well, but he caught my hand.“Please, both of you should stop already!” Catherine yelled and ran to us.Darwin was about to throw a punch at me, but Catherine came in between us, and he punched her instead. She fell to the ground and fainted immediately.That was when our eyes opened and
Catherine's POV“Catherine, you're pregnant!” Alpha Darin yelled and I blinked.“What did you say?” I asked to be sure of what I heard.“You're pregnant.” He repeated and I couldn't believe my ears.Me? Pregnant? That can't be true. It's definitely not true! How on Earth did that happen? I was quiet and thought for a while, then realized I was actually pregnant.I looked at Alpha Darwin and Alpha Darin. I haven't had sex with anyone for a while. I broke up with my last boyfriend and it has been two years now. So, it has nothing to do with him.I looked at them again and they exchanged looks. That was when I realized I had slept with the two of them. My eyes widened and I started panicking. I thought I was having sex with just one person.“Shit! What the heck is going on?” I asked.I can't be pregnant for both of them. One of them is definitely the father, but who? I knew I was in deep trouble because I didn't know who the father was, and I was sure they didn't know who owns the child
Alpha Darin's POVI appeared in my bedroom and headed for the bar where I took a bottle of whiskey. I opened it and downed the contents immediately. I slammed the bottle on the table and wiped my mouth as I thought about everything that happened.The anger I felt was immeasurable. I was angry at myself and everything that was happening.“How could you, Darin!” My wolf growled. I could feel his anger as well. “How could you do such a thing to our mate, Elliot? You hurt him,” He complained and I sighed. “Why did you do what you did? I warned you, didn't I? I warned you but you went ahead and slept with her. Now, Elliot is hurt and angry!” He snapped.“I couldn't help it, Eric. I don't know how it happened. I feel attracted to her. I feel something is wrong somewhere. I don't understand the way I'm getting attracted to her, Eric. Everything about her is just so special and her beauty keeps drawing me in. Whenever I see her, there's this thing that moves in me and all I just want to do is
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
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
