Rohan's POVThe pictures of Valerie's lifeless body flashed in my eyes, haunting me like a ghost. I couldn't shake off the image of her pale skin, her closed eyes, her still body. My mind kept replaying the scene, torturing me with the thought of what I had lost.Days passed, but I couldn't move on. I became withdrawn, depressed, and sad. My eyes turned bloodshot from lack of sleep, and bags formed under them from crying. My once strong and confident demeanor crumbled, leaving me a shell of my former self.I stopped taking care of myself, stopped eating, stopped showering. I just existed, going through the motions of life without any purpose. My pack tried to reach out to me, but I pushed them away. I didn't want their comfort, their sympathy. I just wanted Valerie back.Diana tried to be there for me, but I couldn't bear her presence. She reminded me of what I had lost, of what I would never have again. I knew she was trying to help, but I couldn't forgive her for being alive when Va
Diana's POVI flopped onto my bed, exhausted from the day's events. I had spent hours with Rohan, pretending to care about his feelings about Valerie, pretending to mourn the loss of that insipid Valerie.Ugh, the thought of her made my skin crawl. Why did Rohan still hold onto her memory so tightly? Why did he still love her so deeply?I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. I didn't care about Rohan's feelings about Valerie. I didn't care about Valerie. I only cared about myself.But as I lay there, surrounded by the silence of my room, I couldn't shake off the feeling of frustration. I was stuck in this charade, forced to pretend to be something I'm not because of that bitch.I thought about all the times I had to talk about Valerie, all the times I had to pretend to care. It made me sick.I threw my pillow across the room, feeling a surge of anger. Why did I have to do this? Why did I have to pretend that I cared about Valerie?But deep down, I knew the answer. I was doing i
Rohan's POVI sat in the dimly lit room, my eyes fixed on Alex as he walked in with a hesitant smile. "I have some good news," he said, his voice cautious.I scoffed inwardly. What good news could there possibly be? Valerie was still gone, and nothing could ever bring her back. The pain of her loss still felt like a fresh wound, a constant ache that I couldn't shake off.But Alex seemed to think that whatever he was about to say would somehow make a difference. I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. "What is it?" I asked, my tone flat.Alex took a deep breath before speaking. "The triplets... They didn't die in the accident. They survived."Wasn't even an Accident? My mind went blank. What was he talking about? The triplets were gone, just like Valerie. I had seen it with my own eyes.But Alex's words hung in the air, refusing to be dismissed. Survived? How was that possible?I felt a spark of hope ignite within me, but I quickly extinguished it. No, I couldn't allow myself to believe it. I
Diana's POVI stared at the boom in front of me, my mind reeling in shock. Three fools, I thought to myself. How did this happen? How are they alive? The words on the page seemed to blur together as I tried to process the information.I couldn't believe that the triplets, those useless little children, had survived the kidnap that took Valerie's life. It didn't make sense. Why did they get to live while Valerie was gone? Why didn't all just die? The thought sent a pang of anger and frustration through me.I felt like I was living in a nightmare, where nothing made sense and the rules of reality didn't apply. First, Valerie wanted to take my Rohan from me, and now this? It was too much to bear.I stood up from my chair, my hands shaking with rage. I paced back and forth in my room, trying to make sense of it all. But the more I thought about it, the more questions I had. Why did the triplets survive? What was the purpose of sparing them while taking Valerie away? Why didnt they Just ta
Rohan's POV I couldn't believe the audacity of my mate, Diana. She had always been a nuisance, a constant thorn in my side, but this latest stunt took the cake. She wanted to send my children, my flesh and blood, to an orphanage. I couldn't even wrap my head around it.What kind of person would do such a thing? What kind of mate would suggest sending our own children away like they were nothing more than trash? Is she even a mate? I thought back to our mating ceremony, to the vows we had made to each other. I had thought that our bond was strong, that we were united in our love for each other and our pack. But now, I wasn't so sure.Diana's behavior had been increasingly erratic, her jealousy and possessiveness growing more and more out of control. And now, this. It was like she was trying to drive a wedge between me and my children, to tear our family apart.I couldn't let that happen. I had to protect my children, no matter what. And if that meant keeping them away from Diana, the
Rohan's POV I woke up to Diana's shrill voice, her words piercing through the early morning silence like a knife. "Those three boys are useless!" she shouted, her face red with rage.I sat up, my heart racing, and matched her volume. "How dare you!" I bellowed, my fists clenched.Diana's eyes flashed with anger. "Andreuis is lazy and dirty, Markus is disgusting, and Duncan is possessed!" she spat out, her words venomous.I felt my temper flare, but I tried to keep my cool. "You have no right to talk about my children like that," I growled, my voice low and menacing.But Diana wouldn't back down. "They need to go, Rohan," she shouted, her voice echoing off the walls. "They're a curse, a plague on our pack"I felt my control snap, and I threw a glass cup at her, but purposely missed my shot. It shattered against the wall, making Diana jump.She was terrified, her eyes wide with fear, but I didn't care. I was beyond reason, my anger and frustration boiling over."How dare you," I repeat
Helio's POVAs I walked into the room, I saw her standing there, her eyes fixed on mine. And then, in an instant, her face lit up with recognition and joy."Uncle Helios!" she exclaimed, running towards me with open arms.I swept her up in a tight hug, feeling a mix of emotions: relief, happiness, and a deep sense of connection. I had found my niece, my daughter, after all these years.Riele hugged me back, tears of joy streaming down her face. "I was so scared," she whispered. "I thought I'd never see you again." She said. I held her at arm's length, looking into her eyes. "I'm so sorry," I said. "I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you. But I'm here now, and I'll never let you go again." I held her tightly as she smiled widely. Riele smiled, her eyes shining with happiness. "I knew you'd find me," she said. "I knew you'd come for me."I felt a lump form in my throat as I hugged her again. "I'll always come for you," I whispered. "You're my daughter, my everything."As we held each oth
Helios's POV I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered long after my conversation with Rohan. Something was bothering him, and I couldn't help but wonder what it was. We had been through so much together, and I considered him a close friend. I decided that I needed to see him, to talk to him in person and find out what was wrong.I got into my car and drove to Rohan's house, my mind racing with possibilities. Was everything okay with Valerie? Was he struggling with something personal? I couldn't imagine what it could be, but I was determined to find out.As I pulled up to his house, I noticed that the curtains were drawn, and the house looked quiet. I got out of the car and walked up to the door, ringing the bell.After a moment, the door opened, and Rohan stood before me, looking tired and worn out. "Helios," he said, his voice subdued. "What brings you here?" Rohan asked. I hesitated, unsure of how to respond. "I just wanted to check in on you," I said finally. "You
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
