Alpha Darin's POVI appeared in Darwin's room, right behind him. ''Seems you have settled with Elliott.'' He said and turned to face me with an annoying smirk on his face. ''Take that off!'' I groaned and sat on the bed while he took the couch.We were both silent until I spoke. ''It's our twenty-seventh birthday and also the eclipse of the moon.'' Darwin released a heavy sigh and rested his head on the headrest of the couch. I watched him close his eyes and wander into deep thought, and without being told, I knew what he was thinking. ''Are you thinking about him?'' I asked and didn't get his response. ''I think he is really mad at you. I saw the pain and hatred in his eyes, and especially for what you did today.'' I told him and got a frustrated sigh before he finally opened his eyes. ''Don't you think you need to talk to him? At least you guys can be friends,'' I suggested, but he shook his head in disapproval before responding, ''It's better we stay this way.'' He sighed and sto
Catherine's POVI sat on the bed in my room, nursing my burnt leg injury when Lucas entered.“Hey, how are you feeling?” “It's still sore, but I'll survive. What's up?“Alpha Darin is here to see you.”A frown appeared on my face at the thought of seeing him again after what his brother did to me, but I knew I had to face him eventually. “What! Why is he here?''“I don't know, but I think it's really important. You should see him,'' Lucas suggested.After much hesitation, I finally agreed to see him. As I limped my way toward the door, I couldn't help but feel self-conscious about my injury.I reached the sitting room and met Alpha Darin standing in the doorway. I felt a rush of emotions swirling inside me. Anger, fear, and confusion battled for dominance, making it hard for me to think straight. I looked at him intently, my expression hostile, and asked him sharply, “What do you want?”Alpha Darin took a step forward, and his features softened. “No, Catherine,” he said gently, “I ca
Alpha Darwin's POVI strolled into the party and let my eyes roam around the room, taking in the festive ambiance. The sound of chatter and laughter filled the air as people milled about, enjoying the party. However, my attention was suddenly drawn to a commotion in the corner of the room. I shifted my gaze and saw Catherine, the last person I wanted to see, engrossed in a conversation with Darin.She was smiling at him, her cheeks flushed with a hint of pink. I could see Darin enjoying her attention as he smiled back at her. A pang of irritation shot through me as I realized she had been invited to this party. Quickly, she looked away and nervously gulped her drink. I couldn't fathom why anyone would want her here. As I made my way toward my guests, I kept a wary eye on Catherine, hoping to avoid any interaction with her.I was chatting with my guests, trying not to stare at her because I was angry that Darin had invited her to our birthday party. I walked out of the hall and sat dow
CATHERINE'S POVI could sense the tension in the air between Alpha Darwin and me. I can tell he doesn't want to dance with me, but he has no other option. As we move awkwardly to the music, I can't help but feel a mix of frustration and anger.“Why did Alpha Darin invite me to this party when his brother Alpha Darwin hates me so much?” I asked myself. It doesn't make any sense. It's like they're trying to torture me.I gulped and looked away, ignoring Alpha Darwin's blank stare. The tension between us was so thick you could cut it with a knife.I could feel my heart boiling with anger as I remembered the punishment Alpha Darwin gave me for slapping Elliot. Walking on hot coals was one of the most painful experiences of my life, and I still have scars to prove it. The thought of it sent shivers down my spine, and I could feel my anger towards him rising.I tried to keep my cool and maintain a polite demeanor, but I couldn't help but wonder what he would do to me if given a chance. Woul
Alpha Darin's POVI recognized the wolf before me as Elliot. With a deep breath, I closed my eyes and made a mind link with him. I reached out to him mentally, sensing his confusion and aggression.I looked at Elliot with a mixture of anger and concern. “What were you thinking, Elliot?” I asked through telepathy.Elliot shifted his weight uneasily and avoided my gaze. “I just… I don't like her, so is my wolf, ” he admitted reluctantly. “I sense that she's trying to come between us.”My anger flared at his words, but I tried to keep my tone calm. “Elliot, she is not trying to come between us. She's just here for her aunt and for the party. She isn't trying to come between us. Her presence in the house wouldn't change the bond we have.”“But she's always flirting with you, and with Alpha Darwin too,” Elliot argued, his eyes flashing with jealousy.I sighed, knowing that Elliot's feelings were complicated by the fact that he was not only my pack mate, but also my mate. “Elliot, I underst
Darwin's POVThe party was finally over, and I could feel the exhaustion creeping up on me as I made my way back to my room. As I undressed, I could feel the heat emanating from Elliott's body as he came up behind me. His breath was warm on my neck as he whispered seductive words, and his hands moved over my body. “I want you.” Elliot said in a seductive manner that felt so good. I was silent for a moment, but I could not resist the urge I had for him. I moved close to him and kissed him passionately. My wolf was silent, which still got me concerned. My wolf always howls when I am making love to Elliot, but it isn't. Neglecting my wolf, I unzipped my pants and pushed Elliot to the bed. I marched to the bed, dropped on him and ordered him, ''Turn around and ass up to me,'' I said with desire in my voice, but still, my wolf was silent.Instantly, he shifted and raised his ass towards me.I gently caressed it for a moment and kissed it with so much pleasure.“Ahh.'' he exclaims in plea
ALPHA DARWIN'S POVI felt confused as I gripped Catherine in my arms, her body trembling with fear. She looked up at me with gratitude and whispered, “Thanks for saving me the second time tonight.”Her words left me perplexed, and I wanted to ask her what she meant, but I hesitated. I didn't want to suggest anything or make her uncomfortable, especially since she was still weak from the attack.I looked around the area, the rain pouring down on us, drenching us to the bone. The scent of wet earth and pine trees filled my nostrils, and the sound of distant thunder rumbled in the background.My wolf howled inside me, reminding me of the danger that still lurked nearby. I tightened my grip on Catherine and scanned the surroundings, searching for any signs of further trouble.But my mind kept wandering back to Catherine's words, and I couldn't shake off the unease in my chest. What did she mean by “the second time”? Had she been in danger before this, and who saved her the first time?I p
Alpha Darin's POV''Answer the damn question, Darin!'' Darwin urged with so much anger in his voice.''Calm down and tell me what's going on, and why are you soaked?''''Don't tell me to fucking calm down, Darin. Why did you impersonate me?'' He yelled, causing my words to seize in my mouth. It was obvious he knew what I had done. With a sigh, I walked to the bar, took out two glasses and a bottle of whiskey. I filled up the glasses and walked back to Darwin. ''Have it; you are freezing,'' I said while stretching out a glass to him. He glared at me with anger-filled eyes before he reluctantly took it from me. I sat on the bed while he stood before me, waiting for an explanation. A moment of silence enveloped the whole place as I contemplated on what to say because, honestly, I couldn't explain why I impersonated Darwin. ''Speak, Darin,'' Darwin spoke in a low tone, but the anger in his voice could be felt.''Elliot tried attacking her in his wolf's form. Luckily, I arrived on time an
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
