Valerie's POV

The boy, Marcus, looked at me with a mix of desperation and hope in his eyes. "Please, Mum, wait for me," he said, his voice cracking with emotion. "I'll be right back, I promise."

I was still trying to wrap my head around the situation, but there was something about Marcus's words that resonated with me. Maybe it was the sincerity in his voice, or the desperation in his eyes. Whatever it was, I found myself nodding in agreement.

"Okay, Marcus," I said. "I'll wait for you."

Marcus's face lit up with a radiant smile, and he turned to run off. "I'll be right back, Mum!" he called out over his shoulder. "I have to get something!"

I watched him go, my mind still reeling with questions. Who was this boy? Why did he think I was his mother? And what did he mean by "I'll be right back"?

"Mum, look!" he exclaimed, holding out the pictures. "These are our family

    Valerie's POV As I waited, I saw three figures walking towards me. Triplets, identical in every way, yet somehow different. I could pinpoint who was who - Marcus, the one who had approached me first, had a slight scar above his left eyebrow. Andreuis, the one on the left, had a slightly crooked smile. And Duncan, the one on the right, had a mischievous glint in his eye.But as they approached, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. Why did they look so familiar? Why did I feel like I knew them? I searched my mind, trying to remember anything, but my memories remained shrouded in fog.And then, as they reached me, their faces changed. Shock, surprise, and joy crossed their faces in quick succession. Andreuis and Duncan rushed towards me, embracing me tightly."Mum!" they exclaimed in unison, holding me so close I could feel their warmth, their heartbeats. I felt a lump form in my throat as I tried to process what was happening.Marcus joined in, wrapping his arms around us, holdi

The triplets were downstairs, engrossed in their own activities, giving us some much-needed privacy.But that peace was short-lived.I heard the sound of footsteps, heavy and hurried, coming from the hallway. Before I could even sit up, the door burst open and the triplets tumbled in, their faces flushed with excitement."Mum's awake!" Marcus exclaimed, hardly able to contain himself."And she remembers!" Andreuis added, his eyes shining with tears.Duncan just grinned, his face split from ear to ear. "She's going to be okay, Dad!"The three of them invaded our room, surrounding us with their energy and enthusiasm. Diana and I exchanged a look, both of us laughing at the sudden intrusion.But as I looked at the triplets, I saw something more than just excitement. I saw hope. Hope that their mother was finally coming back to them, hope that our family was finally healing.And in that moment, I knew that every

    Rohan's POV I turned to leave, but Diana's voice stopped me. "Rohan, please don't go," she begged, tears streaming down her face. "Don't leave me again."I felt a pang of guilt, but I knew better than to listen. I'd made that mistake before, and it had cost me the love of my life. Valerie was back now, and I wasn't going to squander this opportunity."Diana, I have to do this," I said firmly, trying to keep my emotions in check.But she wouldn't let up. She grabbed my arm, her nails digging into my skin. "You can't just leave me like this, Rohan. I love you."I looked at her, my heart heavy with regret. "I'm sorry, Diana. But my heart belongs to Valerie. It always has."Diana's face crumpled, and she began to sob uncontrollably. I knew I was hurting her, but I couldn't stay. I had to find Valerie, to make up for lost time.I gently pried Diana's fingers off my arm and turned to leave. "I'm sorry," I whispered again, but I knew it wasn't enough.As I walked away, I felt a sense of res

I called out, turning to run after her.To my surprise, she stopped and turned around. She looked hesitant, but she slowly started walking back towards me."Valerie, please," I said, trying to keep my voice calm. "Just talk to me. Tell me what's going on."Valerie looked at me warily, but she didn't run away again. She just stood there, her eyes fixed on mine."Who are you?" she asked again, her voice barely above a whisper.I took a deep breath and tried to think of what to say. How could I make her remember me?"Valerie, we... we were in love," I said, trying to keep my emotions in check. "We were happy together. Don't you remember anything?"Valerie's expression didn't change, but she took a step closer to me."I don't know what you're talking about," she said, her voice still uncertain.But I could see a glimmer of somet

    Valerie's POVStuck with DilemmaI stood before Rohan and Helios, my triplets playing happily at my feet. I knew exactly who to choose... or so I thought.But as I looked at the two men before me, I realized I couldn't choose either of them. Not when my heart belonged to my children, and they needed me more than anyone else."I choose neither of you," I said, my voice firm and resolute.The color drained from their faces, as if they'd been slapped twice. Rohan's eyes widened in shock, while Helios's jaw dropped in disbelief."What do you mean?" Rohan asked, his voice shaking with emotion."I mean, I choose my children," I said, kneeling down to hug my triplets. "They need me, and I need them. I won't choose between you two, because my heart belongs to them."Helios took a step back, his eyes flashing with anger. "You can't just choose neither of us," he growled.But I stood firm, my resolve unwavering. "Watch me," I said, smiling sweetly.Rohan looked like he'd been punched in the gut

    Valerie's POVI woke up to the warm sunshine peeking through the windows of my cozy little house. I stretched my arms and yawned, feeling the softness of my bed. It was Saturday morning, and I didn't have to work today. No shift at the hospital, no emergencies to attend to. Just a sweet, sweet day of rest.I smiled to myself as I snuggled deeper into the blankets. Five years had passed since I left Rohan's pack, and I had never looked back.

I was a nurse, a healer, and a mother to my triplets, who were now thriving and happy.I thought about my children, sleeping peacefully in their rooms.

Duncan, Andreuis, and Marcus were all 15 now, and their appetites seemed to be growing exponentially. I couldn't believe how fast they were growing up. It seemed like just yesterday I was changing their diapers and singing lullabies to help them sleep. Now, they were towering over me, their deepening voices and mischievous grins making me feel like I was losing my babies.As I poured myself a cup of coffee, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and wonder at how identical they still looked, despite their distinct personalities. Duncan was still my responsible one, always trying to take charge and lead the way. Andreuis was still my wild child, always pushing boundaries and testing limits. And Marcus was still my peacekeeper, always trying to mediate and keep the peace.As I watched them finish up their breakfast and head off to school, I felt a sense of contentmen

"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.

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.

    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

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

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.
