Alpha Darwin's POVWe laid Annabella down on her bed and she was finally asleep after taking her medication. Her face was flushed and drained of all colors and from Darin's expression, I knew he was not happy with Annabella’s condition. This had happened before when a maid unknowingly added nuts to the food, but it wasn't this bad.Darin turned to look at me, his face contorting into a frown, and I knew he wasn't happy. “Why would Catherine behave like a child, huh? If she had problems with Annabella, she should have come to me instead of almost killing her. I'm so disappointed. I didn't expect her to act this way!” Darin frowned and I sighed, thinking of what might have actually gone wrong between the two women.I know Catherine would not just do that on purpose and besides, she didn't even know that Annabella was allergic to nuts. Her thoughts must have been to get the girl irritated or nauseous and it had gone too far.“Don't act that way. Catherine might have a reason for what she
Alpha Darin's POVI teleported to the room with her and she started struggling with me to let her go.“Take me back this instant! I don't want to stay here. Take me back now!” She yelled.“Calm down.” I told her calmly but she glared at me.“Don't tell me to calm down. Take me back!” She refused to listen and kept yelling at me.I felt bad for hurting her and making her feel like this. Why was I hurting her this way? I was so angry at myself and wished she would just forgive me. If I knew, I would have asked what was going on and heard her explanation before jumping into conclusions and yelling at her. I shouldn't have done that and I'm really feeling sorry for what I did.“I'm sorry, Catherine. I'm really sorry.” I tried to apologize.“Sorry? Sorry you say? Will your sorry bring back the words you said to me? Will it calm my nerves and make me happy again? Fuck your sorry!” She snapped and I sighed.“I'm really sorry. I did that because I panicked. The last time that happened, she al
Catherine's POVI woke up the next morning and saw that the two Alphas were still with me. They laid beside me and left me in their middle. I smiled and used that time to admire them. They look cute while sleeping and when they awake, they become the troublemakers that they were.I remembered how they made my anger fade away yesterday, and a blush crept up my cheek. I held and kissed the one at the front, then turned back and kissed the other one.My movements woke them up and they each sat down to face me.“Good morning, princess.” They greeted me at the same time, and I smiled.“Did you two plan from your sleep to greet me that way?” I teased them and they smiled. “Good morning. I slept well, and how about the two of you?” I asked.They nodded.“We're sorry for what happened yesterday. We promise that it won't repeat itself again. Have you forgiven us?” One of the Alphas asked and I smiled.“I have forgiven you, but I'm a bit angry though.” I folded my hands with a pout and noticed
Alpha Darwin's POVAfter breakfast, I went to the training ground. Immediately I got there, I saw Lucas speaking with a guy. I stood and watched them from a distance but my eyes reddened when the guy pecked Lucas on the cheek. And the worst part was that Lucas didn't get angry; he didn't protest. He smiled. Damn it!I balled my fists as I couldn't control the wave of jealousy that shot through my veins. How dare that guy kiss him? How dare he? I felt angry that Lucas even allowed the guy to touch and peck him. What I just saw literally spoiled my mood and as the warriors trained, I unleashed my anger, frustration and aggression on all of them. I couldn't stop myself as every little thing they did annoyed me to the core.“Can't you do anything right? What I asked you to do was simple. Dodge from the left and not from the right. Do I have to keep repeating myself?” I yelled and they bowed apologetically.I turned to the other side. “And you! Take a defensive stance like a strong wolf.
Catherine's POVAfter Annabella left, I couldn't help but feel worried for myself and especially my baby. Her threats were firm and I knew she meant every word she said. She sounded dangerous and determined to get rid of me and my worst fear was that I had no idea what she was planning.I rubbed my belly and as I was still in deep thought, one of the Alphas walked in and before I could ask who he was, “I'm Darin.” He introduced himself and I nodded. “What's wrong? You look worried.” He asked.I wanted to tell him that Annabella threatened me and my child but I wondered if he would believe me, considering how he had reacted to that allergy incident and the fact that she was his best friend as well. I decided not to tell him.“I'm stressed and I need to go out for fresh air.” I answered, using that as an excuse to escape his question.“Sure. I'll take you to where you can relax and get some fresh air.” He said and took me out. We walked around the mansion and came to the backyard, where
Catherine's POVI was shocked and looked around me. How did I get here and how did I get naked? I quickly covered myself with the bedsheet and looked at the Alpha in shock.Everything was just confusing to me. The last thing I remembered was having a swim with Alpha Darin and then a talk with Elliot before taking juice. How on Earth did I get naked and I'm here with my guard?The guards jumped from the bed and fell on the ground, trying to beg. “Alpha, please, I have no idea. I have no fault in this.” He begged and I could see the alpha balling his fists. He was literally preventing himself from hitting the guard in the face.I was still shocked and confused as I couldn't comprehend what was going on. Another Alpha walked in and when he saw what was going on, he furrowed his brows in confusion and looked at me then at the guard who was begging.“What's going on here, Darin?” He asked, turning to face the Alpha, which I realized was Darin.Alpha Darin couldn't answer and just continue
Alpha Darwin's POVWe teleported to Darin's room and he growled angrily. His face was so red in anger and he was seething. I couldn't do anything, I just stood there as I tried my best to wrap my head around what just happened.Darin looked at me and from his gaze, I knew he was wondering that I wasn't furious like him.“Isn't this worrying you at all? Why do you look so calm and cool with all these? She just cheated on us, Darwin, and you saw it. Why are you looking like it's nothing serious?” He asked, his eyes red with anger.“I'm just shocked and still thinking.” I answered and he growled again.“How could she? Why?” He yelled angrily and punched the war, yanking me from my reverie. He continued hitting the wall furiously and it cracked. That didn't stop him, he went ahead to hit the wall and soon his hand started bleeding.I rushed to him and held him. “Calm down, you're hurting yourself. Get a grip!” I said but he pushed me away.“Let go of me! Allow me to punch and do whatever
Catherine's POVI had already dressed up and walked around, contemplating on what I was going to do or tell the Alphas. It was obviously clear that they didn't believe me and I was trying my best to keep my calm and find a way out of this mess.The Alphas appeared and one of them rushed and gripped my hand. “Why did you do this? Why did you choose to hurt me this way, Catherine? Were you not satisfied with what we gave to you? Where did we go wrong that you had to do this to get back at us? Why?” He snapped, his grip on my hand tightening.“Don't hold her like that, Darin. You might hurt her.” The other one said and I knew instantly that Alpha Darin was the one holding my hand.“I'm not going to let her go.” He said and I tried to explain.“You've got to listen to me. I swear I didn't do it. I have no idea how that happened. I didn't do it.”“They're all lies, Catherine. You knew that I was with you before I left. You knew I had gone to the training ground, you knew Darwin was not aro
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
