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
Helios's POVI sat on my couch, staring blankly at the wall. It had been days since Rohan told me about Valerie's passing, and I still couldn't shake off the feeling of emptiness. I missed her, missed her smile, her laugh, her presence.I felt a pang of sadness, thinking about how she was gone, taken from us too soon. I thought about our conversations, our laughter, our inside jokes. It all felt like a distant memory now.I sighed, feeling down. I knew I had to move on, for Riele's sake, for Rohan's sake, but it was hard. Valerie was more than just a friend; she was a fellow wolf, a sister.I stood up, deciding to take a walk outside. Maybe some fresh air would do me good. But as I walked, I couldn't shake off the feeling of loss. Valerie was gone, and nothing would ever be the same again.As I was about to leave, Riele walked into the room, looking curious. "Dad, where are you going?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with interest.I hesitated for a moment, not wanting to worry her. "I'
Helios's POV I knelt down beside the body, my heart racing with anticipation. But as I looked down at the face, my world came crashing down. It was Valerie, her eyes frozen in a permanent stare, her skin pale and cold.I felt like I had been punched in the gut, all the air knocked out of me. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Valerie, the vibrant and full-of-life woman I knew, was lying dead on the ground.I reached out a trembling hand to touch her face, hoping that this was some kind of sick joke. But as my skin made contact with hers, I knew that it was real. She was gone.I felt a wave of emotions wash over me - shock, grief, anger. How did she end up here? Who could have done this to her?I looked around, trying to take in every detail of the scene. But my eyes kept coming back to Valerie's face, her beautiful smile now frozen in death.I knew I had to alert the pack, to get them to safety. But for now, I just sat there, frozen in shock, unable to move or look away from the b
Helios's POVI sat beside Valerie's bed, gently wiping the sweat from her forehead. She had been in a coma for days, and I had been nursing her back to health, doing everything in my power to help her recover.I checked her pulse, feeling a sense of relief that it was still strong. I had been worried that she might not make it, but she was a fighter. I could see that in her even now, as she lay motionless.I looked around the room, making sure everything was in order. The fire was crackling, casting a warm glow over the space. The windows were open, letting in a gentle breeze that carried the scent of blooming flowers.I turned back to Valerie, studying her face. She was so peaceful, so serene. I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder at her strength, her resilience.As I sat there, I couldn't help but think about our situation. Who had attacked her? And why? I knew I had to find out, not just for her sake, but for the sake of our pack.But for now, I just focused on her, on nursing
Helios's POV I stood there, frozen in shock, as I took in the sight before me. Valerie was sitting up in bed, her eyes squeezed shut as if she was trying to block out the light. I couldn't believe it. She was awake.I felt like I had been punched in the gut, my breath knocked out of me. I had been so focused on nursing her back to health, on willing her to wake up, that I hadn't even considered the possibility that she might actually do it.And yet, here she was, sitting up and looking like she was trying to gather her bearings. I couldn't help but stare, my heart racing with excitement and relief."Valerie?" I whispered, my voice barely audible.She slowly opened her eyes, wincing in pain as the light hit them. But as she looked around, her gaze landed on me, and a small smile played on her lips.“Uhm" she whispered back, her voice hoarse from disuse.I couldn't help but grin, feeling a wave of happiness wash over me. She was awake. She was alive. And she was frowning at me.I took
Valerie's POVI try to remember anything, but my mind is a complete blank. My head is pounding, and I feel like I've been running for days, but my legs won't move. I'm so tired, so exhausted.I lie back on the bed, trying to calm my racing thoughts. But every time I close my eyes, I see flashes of images I can't explain. A forest, a pack of wolves, a figure standing over me. Who is that man? And why do I feel like I know him?I groan, my head aching even more. Why can't I remember anything? It's like my mind is a puzzle, and I'm missing all the pieces.I throw off the covers and get out of bed, determined to find some answers. But as I stand up, the room spins around me, and I stumble. I'm so tired, so stressed. I feel like I'm losing my mind.I make my way to the door, hoping to find Helios and demand some answers. But as I reach for the handle, I feel a wave of exhaustion wash over me. I can't do this. I need to rest.I collapse onto the bed, my head spinning. I'm so clueless, so lo
Helios's POV I watched Valerie pace back and forth in her room, her mind racing with questions. I knew she was getting frustrated, and I couldn't blame her. But I also knew that she needed to be pushed, to be tested.That's why I decided to take her to the battlefield. I knew she wasn't ready, that she was still weak and uncertain. But I couldn't wait any longer. I needed to start her training, and I needed to do it now."Valerie, come with me," I said, standing in the doorway.She turned to me, a look of trepidation on her face. "Where are we going?""The battlefield," I replied, my voice firm.She hesitated, but I could see the determination in her eyes. She knew she needed to do this.As we walked to the battlefield, I could feel her anxiety growing. She was scared, and she had every right to be. But I knew she was strong, stronger than she thought.When we arrived, I could see the fear in her eyes. The battlefield was intense, the sounds of clashing steel and the scent of blood f
Helios's POVAs I watched Valerie walk away, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and admiration. She was strong, determined, and beautiful.I had to admit, I had been drawn to her from the moment I met her. But I had pushed those feelings aside, focusing on her training and her potential as a warrior.But now, I can't deny it anymore. I was attracted to her. And it wasn't just physical. I admired her spirit, her courage, and her heart.I sighed, running a hand through my hair. This was complicated. I was her teacher, her mentor. I shouldn't feel this way.But as I thought about it, I realized that maybe it wasn't a bad thing. Maybe this was exactly what Valerie needed. Someone to believe in her, to support her, and to love her.And maybe, just maybe, I was that person.I smiled to myself, feeling a sense of hope and possibility. I would continue to train her, to push her to be her best. But now, I would do it with a newfound appreciation and admiration for the strong, beautiful
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
