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
Rohan's POV I lay in bed, Diana by my side, enjoying a rare moment of peace. 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
Rohan's POV I was about to confront Helios further when I suddenly stopped myself. This wasn't the time. I needed to focus on Valerie right now."Valerie, wait!" 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 POV I slowly opened my eyes, my mind foggy and unclear. But as I looked around, memories came flooding back. The fight between Helios and Rohan. The sound of their snarls and growls still echoed in my mind.Rohan? I remembered who Rohan was. My mate. The father of my triplets. Our love, our laughter, our life together. It all came rushing back.And then I remembered the kidnapping. Being taken from my home, from my family. The pain and fear I felt.But I also remembered Helios. How he took care of me, protected me. His kindness and gentleness.I looked around, trying to take in everything at once. Helios and Rohan were sitting next to me, their eyes fixed on me with concern."Valerie?" Helios whispered, his voice soft. "Can you hear me?"I nodded, my throat dry. "Y-yes," I croaked.Rohan's face lit up with joy. "Valerie, oh Valerie," he exclaimed, taking my hand in his.But I pulled away, looking at him uncertainty. I remembered him, but... things were complicated now. Heli
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 had found a new home, a new family, and a new sense of purpose here in this pack. 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. They were growing up so fast, and I couldn't believe how much they had changed. They were smart, kind, and strong, and I couldn't be prouder of them.As I lay there, I felt a sense of contentment wash over me. I had made the right decision, leaving the drama and toxicity behind. I had found a new lease on life, and I
Valerie's POVI stood in the kitchen, watching my triplet sons devour their breakfast like they hadn't eaten in weeks. 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
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
