Valerie's POVFrustrated, fruitless, and defeated. Those were the only words that came to mind as I trudged through the forest, my feet heavy with the weight of my own hopelessness. I was losing hope, losing focus, and losing myself in the process.Days had turned into weeks, and weeks were turning into month. And still, I had found nothing. No leads, no clues, no hints. Just an endless, exhausting cycle of searching and coming up empty-handed.I thought of Rohan, and the way he had looked at me with such determination and conviction. I thought of the way he had promised to help me, to stand by me and support me on this journey.But now, I couldn't help but wonder if I had been foolish to trust him. Foolish to think that he would be any different from the others.I kicked at a rock on the ground, feeling a surge of anger and frustration. Why was this so hard? Why was it so impossible to find what I was looking for?And then, I heard it. A faint rustling in the bushes. My heart skipped
Diana's POVI stormed inside my room, my heart racing with anger and hurt. That bitch, Valerie, had snatched my mate right from under my nose. Rohan, the one person I thought truly understood me, had fallen for her lies and charms.I couldn't believe it. I had given him everything, my heart, my trust, my body. And this was how he repaid me? By falling for some weak, pathetic werewolf who couldn't even control her own desires?I spat on the ground, furious. Valerie was a manipulator, a user. She had no idea what it meant to be a true mate, to bond with someone on a deep and primal level.I thought about the way Rohan had looked at her, the way he had kissed her. My stomach churned with nausea. I had never felt such a deep sense of betrayal.As I walked, my anger only grew. I couldn't wait to confront Valerie, to tell her exactly what I thought of her. She was a homewrecker, a mate-stealer. And she would pay for what she had done.I quickened my pace, my heart pounding in my chest. This
Rohan's POVI sat in front of the computer, my eyes scanning the screens as I searched for any lead on the missing triplets. As the Alpha of my pack, it was my duty to protect our children- The Children of our pack, and I had failed.The computer room was quiet, except for the hum of the machines and the occasional beep. I was so focused on my search that I didn't even notice the time passing. My mind was consumed by thoughts of the triplets and the other missing children. Where were they? Who had taken them?As I searched, my mind wandered to Valerie. I couldn't believe I had kissed her. It was a moment of weakness, and I regretted it. Not because I didn't enjoy it - I did. But because it complicated everything. I wasn't ready for another complication between both of us, especially not with Valerie knowing I was trying to get on her good side. And then there was Diana. I didn't even want to think about her right now. Our relationship was still on edge, and she still needed to come t
Valerie's POVI couldn't shake off the feeling of unease as I went about my day. There was a new Alpha in town, one who was desperately searching for his missing children. I had heard rumors of his arrival, but I hadn't expected to feel a pang of worry. After all, our pack's children were also missing, and we had yet to find any leads.But it wasn't just the fact that our pack's children were missing that bothered me. It was the memory of Rohan's kiss, the way my heart had raced when our lips touched. I had tried to brush it off as a moment of weakness, but deep down, I knew it was more than that. I had felt a connection with Rohan, a spark that I couldn't ignore.And now, with this new Alpha, Helios, joining forces with Rohan to find their children, I couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation. What did it mean for our pack? For our children? Would we be able to find them before it was too late?I thought about my own kids, their bright smiles and curious eyes. I would do anything
Rohan's POVI sat beside Helios in the computer room, my eyes scanning the lines of code on the screen in front of me. But my mind wasn't on the task at hand. It was on Valerie.I couldn't shake off the feeling that she wasn't settled yet. Diana had been looking for every way to make Valerie look bad, to discredit her in front of the pack. But I knew Valerie, I knew she wasn't capable of the things Diana was accusing her of. She was kind, gentle, and fiercely protective of her children.As I typed away on the keyboard, my thoughts drifted back to the way Valerie's eyes sparkled when she smiled, the way her hair fell in loose waves down her back. I had to admit, I was drawn to her. But I couldn't let my feelings get in the way of the task at hand. We had to find the missing children.But Diana's words kept echoing in my mind. "Valerie is a threat to our pack." I knew it wasn't true, but a part of me wondered if there was more to Diana's story than I knew. She was Nice and the next mome
Valerie's POVI walked beside Rohan, my heart racing with excitement and a hint of fear. We were finally going to find the children, and I couldn't wait to see them safe and sound. The tracker had led us to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town, and Rohan had insisted on coming with me.As we approached the building, Rohan's hand brushed against mine, sending a spark of electricity through my body. He didn't pull away, instead, he intertwined his fingers with mine, giving my hand a gentle squeeze."I'm not going to let anything happen to you," he whispered, his eyes scanning the surrounding area.I smiled, feeling a sense of safety with him by my side. "I know," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.We entered the warehouse, our footsteps echoing off the walls. Rohan pulled me closer, his arm wrapping around my waist."Stay close," he whispered, his eyes scanning the shadows.I nodded, my heart pounding in my chest. I knew he was trying to protect me, and I appreciated
Rohan's POVI couldn't wipe the smile off my face as I watched Valerie and the triplets settle into my home. We had done it. We had found them, safe and sound.As I looked at Duncan, Marcus, and Andreuis, I felt a sense of pride and joy. They were my children, and I had protected them.Valerie caught my eye, and I saw the happiness and gratitude there. I knew that I had made her happy, and that was all that mattered.Just then, my phone buzzed. Diana's name flashed on the screen, but I didn't care. Nothing could ruin my mood today.I ignored the call and turned back to Valerie and the children. We were going to enjoy this moment together."Let's get some food and rest," I said, smiling at Valerie. "We've got a lot to do."Valerie nodded, smiling back at me. "Thank you, Rohan. For everything."I shook my head. "No need to thank me. I'm just glad we found them."As we sat down to eat, I couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. This was what I had been searching for. A family, a ho
Rohan's POVI couldn't shake off the feeling of excitement and nervousness as I thought about my plan. I was going to make Valerie my second mate, and I knew it wouldn't be easy. But I was determined to make it happen.I had already failed her once, but I wasn't going to let that happen again. I was going to do everything in my power to prove myself to her, to show her that I was worthy of her love and trust.I started making a mental list of all the things I needed to do. First, I needed to talk to my pack, to let them know that I had found my true mate and that I would be taking a second mate. I knew some of them might not understand, but I was the alpha, and I had to follow my heart.Next, I needed to find a way to win Valerie's trust back. I knew I had hurt her deeply, but I was willing to do whatever it took to make it right. I would give her space, let her come to me when she was ready.And then, there was the matter of the triplets. My beautiful, precious triplets. I was going
Rohan's POVAs the night wore on, the celebration only grew more lively. The music was pumping, the food was flowing, and the pack members were having the time of their lives. I was having a blast myself, laughing and joking with Beta Alex as we danced around the fire.Beta Alex was being his usual self, cracking jokes and making everyone laugh. I was impressed by his energy and enthusiasm. The guy was like a machine, always going and never stopping. I, on the other hand, was feeling a bit more subdued. I was happy, don't get me wrong, but I was also feeling a bit more reflective. This was a big moment for our pack, and I was proud of what we had accomplished.As we danced, I caught sight of Diana sitting on the sidelines, Alexander sleeping peacefully in her arms. She looked beautiful, her hair shining in the firelight, her eyes sparkling with happiness. I felt a surge of love and pride, knowing that she was my mate, my partner in every sense of the word.Beta Alex caught my eye and
Rohan's POVAs the day drew to a close, I helped Diana pack up her belongings, getting her ready to leave the hospital. She was still a bit tired, but she was doing great, and I was so proud of her. I couldn't believe how strong and brave she had been throughout the whole pregnancy and childbirth process. As we made our way out of the hospital room, Beta Alex and Amber were waiting for us, big smiles on their faces. Those two were inseparable, and it was clear that they were meant to be together.We walked out of the hospital, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and happiness. We had done it. We had brought a new life into the world, and everything was going great. I glanced over at Beta Alex, who was walking beside me, and nodded in approval. "Thanks for taking care of everything while I was away," I said, my voice filled with gratitude. Beta Alex smiled, his eyes shining with pride. "No problem, Alpha," he said. "Everything went smoothly. The pack is doing great."I nodded, f
Diana's POVI lay in the hospital bed, I couldn't help but feel a sense of exhaustion wash over me. Giving birth had taken a toll on my body, and I was feeling the effects of it now. But despite my tiredness, I couldn't help but keep my eyes fixed on Rohan. He was so happy, so full of joy, and it was infectious. It made me smile, even though I was feeling drained.I watched as Rohan gazed lovingly at our child, his eyes filled with a love and adoration that I had never seen before. It was a beautiful sight to behold, and I felt my heart swell with happiness. I knew that I had made the right decision in choosing to be with Rohan. He was a good man, a kind and loving man, and I knew that he would be an amazing father to our child.As I looked at Rohan, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction. I had done it. I had given him a child, and I had made him happy. And in doing so, I had finally found my own happiness. I was no longer just the woman who had replaced Valerie.
Rohan's POVI sat in the hospital room, waiting for what felt like an eternity, I saw a nurse coming out with a bright smile on her face. My heart skipped a beat as she approached me. "Congratulations, Alpha Rohan," she said, her voice filled with warmth. "Your wife has delivered a bouncy baby boy."I felt like I had been punched in the gut, but in a good way. I jumped up from my seat, a huge grin spreading across my face. I couldn't believe it. Diana had done it. She had given birth to our child. And he was healthy. That's all that mattered.Beta Alex and Amber shared my joy, congratulating me and patting me on the back. I was so happy, I felt like I was walking on air. I didn't care that it was a boy. I didn't care about any of that. All I cared about was that Diana and our child were okay.I turned to the nurse, my mind racing with questions. "How is Diana?" I asked, my voice filled with concern. "Is she okay?" The nurse smiled reassuringly. "She's very tired, but she's doing well,
Rohan's POVI woke up with a start, hoping against hope that I would hear the nurse's voice, telling me that Diana had given birth. But instead, I was met with the sight of Alex and Amber, fast asleep in their chairs. I felt a surge of frustration and disappointment. What the hell was this? What was the meaning of this nonsense?I threw off the blanket that had been draped over me, and stood up, my eyes scanning the room for any sign of the nurse or the doctor. But there was no one. Just Alex and Amber, sleeping peacefully, oblivious to my growing anxiety.I felt like I was going crazy. I just wanted to see Diana, to know that she was okay. But it seemed like no one was telling me anything. It was as if I had to choose between the child and Diana. I had never been a father before, not really. I had been a father to my triplets, but I hadn't been there for them, hadn't played the role of a father. And now, with this new child, I felt like I was being torn in two. I wanted to be there f
Rohan's POVI fought to keep my eyes open, but they seemed to be dropping slowly, weighed down by the exhaustion that had been building up for hours. I had been by Diana's side the entire time, holding her hand and talking to her, trying to keep her calm and focused. But now, as I sat in the hospital room, waiting for the doctors to come and give us an update, I couldn't help but feel like I was running on empty.But I couldn't give in to my exhaustion, not now, not when my unborn child needed me. I had to be strong, had to be there for Diana and our baby. All I could hope for was that Diana would be able to carry the pregnancy to term, that she would be able to fight off whatever complications were arising. And all I could hope for was that the two of them would survive it, would come out alive and healthy on the other side.I took a deep breath, trying to shake off the fatigue that was threatening to overwhelm me. I looked over at Alex and Amber, who were sitting across from me, the
Alex's POVWe stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, I couldn't help but feel a sense of reluctance to break the spell. But as I glanced at my watch, I knew that we couldn't linger any longer. It was already time to head to the hospital to visit Rohan and Diana. I smiled, feeling a sense of duty wash over me.Amber, however, was not as eager to leave. As I pulled back, she pouted, her lower lip jutting out in a adorable expression. "Awwwnn... playtime's over?" she asked, her voice whiny and playful. I chuckled, feeling a sense of amusement wash over me.I smiled, reaching out to scoop her up into my arms. "I'm afraid so," I said, carrying her off the counter as she stood. Amber giggled, wrapping her arms around my neck as I carried her towards the door. We walked out to the car, the cool evening air a welcome relief after the heat of our passion.As we drove to the hospital, Amber chatted excitedly about her day, telling me about her training and her plans for the future. I listen
Alex's POV I walked back out into the training grounds, I decided that it was time to call it a day. The pack members had been training hard, and they deserved a break. I raised my voice, shouting out to the pack. "Alright, that's enough for today! Training is over, and you're all free to go."The pack members cheered, relieved that the day's training was finally over. They began to pack up their gear, saying their goodbyes and heading off to rest and recover. I watched them go, feeling a sense of satisfaction. It had been a good day's training, and I was proud of the pack for their hard work.But as I scanned the grounds, I noticed that one person was still waiting around. Amber was standing off to the side, her eyes fixed on me with a patient expression. I raised an eyebrow, wondering what she was waiting for. Didn't she know that training was over, and she was free to go?I walked over to her, a curious expression on my face. "Hey, you can head out now," I said, trying to sound ca
Alex's POVI'd had enough of the pack members' gossip and speculation. As the Beta, it was my job to keep them in line and maintain order. I raised my voice, using my authoritative tone to quiet them down. "That's enough," I said, my eyes scanning the crowd. "We don't have time for gossip and rumors. We have training to focus on, and I expect you all to get back to work."The pack members looked at each other, seemingly surprised by my sudden sternness. But they knew better than to disobey me. They nodded, murmuring apologies, and began to disperse, heading back to their training stations.I watched them go, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. I wished Rohan was here, though. He had a way of handling situations like this with ease, and I knew I could always count on him to have my back. But he was busy taking care of Diana, and I was on my own.I took a deep breath, shaking off the feeling of uncertainty. I was the Beta, and it was my job to lead the pack in Rohan's absence. I loo
