Alpha Darin's POVWhen she called me Darwin, I couldn't help the pain that pierced through my heart, but I knew at this point that there was nothing I could do about it. I just have to continue playing along then. It wouldn't hurt to be Darwin for a little while.I was about to walk up to her, but she raised her palm and pointed her finger at me, her face contorting into a frown.“Stay back! Don't you dare come close to me. Don't even think about it!” She snapped.I was taken aback by her outbursts and stared at her confused. What could have happened to make her act like this? Did I do anything wrong? All I can remember is that I left while she was sleeping, and don't think I had any argument with her before then. Or was she angry that she woke up and couldn't find me? I stared at her again. She was still fuming.“Catherine, I—” I tried to explain, but she cut me off.“You're a very wicked person, do you know that?” She asked and I blinked. I haven't seen her this pissed off before. W
Alpha Darin's POVDarwin's voice sounded urgent in my head, and I quickly got down from the bed and started wearing my clothes.“Where are you going?” Catherine asked sleepily, and I slowed down my movements.Remembering what happened the last time I left without telling her where I was headed, I decided to tell her what was going on.“My brother D…” I trailed off and looked at her. “My brother, Darin, just mind linked me and his voice sounded urgent. I need to go and confirm what's wrong with him.” I answered.“Is he okay?” She asked.“I don't know. His voice sounded distressed, so I have to leave immediately.” I said and she smiled.“Alright. Go check on him and please, be careful.” She blew me a kiss.I smiled and disappeared. When I teleported into the living room, I met Elliot yelling at Darwin.“Who did you sleep with? Tell me already!” Elliot snapped and held Darwin's hand.“What's going on here?” I asked and both of them looked up at me.“Darin, tell Elliot to let go of me.” D
Catherine's POVAfter work at the mansion, I hurried home to get dressed. Alpha Darin said he would come to pick me up by 9pm and I needed to get ready for the dinner.I took my bath and took a look at my wardrobe.“Damn, I need to change my wardrobe,” I muttered with a frown and started looking for what to wear.Since it was a dinner night, I needed to look casual yet elegant. I rummaged through my closet and finally settled on a black mini dress with a heart neckline. I paired it with a pair of black heels and a simple necklace. After a quick touch-up of my makeup, I was ready.As I waited for Alpha Darin to arrive, I couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. I had never been to a dinner with him before, and I wasn't sure what to expect. But I was also excited to see where the night would take us.Finally, I heard a knock on the door. Taking a deep breath, I opened it to find Alpha Darin waiting for me."Good evening, Catherine," he greeted me with a smile. "You look beautiful.""Thank
Alpha Darin's POVWhen she asked that question, I knew she was already starting to suspect something and so to stop her from asking further questions, I slammed my lips on hers.It seemed to work because soon her hands were in my hair, ruffling them as we kissed like there was no tomorrow. We were both panting and our breath mixed as one, and it made me want more of her, even more than what we’ve already shared together.“Here you go again!” Eric snapped in my head.“I'm doing what's best for me.” I said.“What about what's best for our mate? Aren't you thinking about him?” Eric asked, and I sighed internally.“Leave Elliot out of this. He is my mate, and she is my breeder!” I snapped with a tone of finality and wanted to cut off the mind link when Eric asked.“Tsk, tsk, tsk, you've changed. What happened to your conscience?” He asked and cut off the mind link.I internally scoffed and looked at Catherine lovely. I have every right to her just like Darwin has. No one is to question my
Catherine's POV“Aunt!” I exclaimed the minute I opened the door and met her and Lucas.I rushed and engulfed her in a tight hug immediately. “Aunt, I missed you so much!” I exclaimed.She hugged me back, rubbing her hands on my back before planting a kiss on my forehead. “I missed you too, darling.” She smiled.I wiped a drop of tear from my eyes and looked at Lucas.“And you…” I smiled and hugged him. “I missed you too.” I said and he lifted me up, making me gasp.“I miss you more, Cathy.” He chuckled and started walking inside.“Alright, I get it. Put me down,” I ordered, pointing my index finger to the ground.“What if I don't?” He smirked.“Hey! Put me down!” I giggled but he didn't listen and twirled me around.I screamed and he dropped me, then started laughing.I chuckled as I tried to stand without falling to the ground.Aunt chuckled and closed the door before sitting on the couch.When my dizziness stopped, I smacked him on the shoulder. “You!” I scoffed and ran to sit besi
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
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
