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
Valerie's POVAs the days went by, I watched in horror as my boys continued to spiral out of control. They were skipping school more and more, and getting into all sorts of trouble. They were hanging out with the wrong crowd, and I could see the influence of their friends in the way they were starting to dress, talk, and act.I tried to talk to them, to reason with them, but they just pushed me away. They said I didn't understand, that I was too controlling, that I needed to chill out. But I knew what I saw, and I knew it wasn't good.They were getting into fights, getting caught shoplifting, and even getting caught with drugs. I was at my wit's end, I didn't know what to do. I felt like I was losing them, like they were slipping away from me and I couldn't catch them.I tried to get them help, to get them into counseling or therapy, but they refused. They said they didn't need it, that they were fine. But I knew they weren't fine. I knew they were crying out for help, even if they di
Valerie's POV I stood in the grand hall, surrounded by the familiar faces of our pack. Zara, my closest friend, beamed at me from across the room, her children, Lily and Finn, bubbling with excitement beside her… her face shining brightly like the sun.I smiled back at Zara, feeling a sense of warmth and belonging. My own children, Duncan, Andreuis, and Marcus, stood beside me, looking dashing in their formal attire. Marcus, my eldest, was trying to appear nonchalant, but I could see the excitement simmering beneath his calm exterior. Andreuis, my middle child, was gazing around the room with wide eyes, taking in the splendor of the grand hall. And Duncan, my youngest, was fidgeting with anticipation, his eyes fixed on the entrance as if willing the ceremony to begin.As I scanned the room, I noticed the other pack members chatting and laughing, their faces filled with hope and expectation. The air was electric with anticipation, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and joy.
Valerie's POV Who am I to run and they won't catch me? After all I lived in their pack… they have every right to sentence me anytime they want to.I sat in my living room, staring blankly at the letter in my hand. It was from the Alpha's office, requesting my presence at a meeting to discuss my sons' latest prank.I felt a sense of dread wash over me as I thought about what the Alpha's punishment might be. Banishment? Fines? Something worse?I had been trying to prepare myself for the worst, but I couldn't shake off the feeling of fear that had been growing inside me since the coronation.Zara had been trying to reassure me, but even she couldn't hide her concern. "It'll be okay, Valerie," she had said. "We'll face whatever comes next together."But now, as I sat alone in my living room, I couldn't help but wonder what the future held. What would the Alpha say to me? What would he do?I took a deep breath and tried to calm my racing thoughts. I had to be strong, for my sons' sake if
Diavolo’s POVI couldn't shake off the feeling of annoyance as I thought about Valerie and her triplet sons. They were a thorn in my side, a constant reminder of the chaos that I had to deal with as Alpha.I hated the way she seemed to just accept their behavior, like it was no big deal that they were causing trouble in the pack. And those boys... they were a handful. Always pranking, always causing trouble. It was like they had no respect for authority whatsoever.And Valerie... she was just as bad. Always apologizing, always making excuses for their behavior. Like she thought I was just going to forget about it and let it slide.But I wouldn't. I couldn't. As Alpha, it was my duty to maintain order in the pack, and Valerie and her sons were making that difficult.I scowled, thinking about the latest prank they had pulled. Filling the pack's gathering hall with balloons and then setting off the fire alarm. It was childish, and stupid, and I was fed up with it.I didn't know what Vale
Valerie's POVI slammed the door shut, my heart racing with anger. Those three were going to be the death of me. Marcus, Andreuis, and Duncan, my triplet sons, were sitting on the couch, looking like the epitome of innocence.But I knew better. I knew they were behind the latest prank, the one that had targeted smokes in the Alpha's coronation . And I knew they were going to pay for it."You three are not leaving this house until further notice," I growled, my eyes blazing with fury.Marcus, the eldest by a minute, spoke up. "Aww, come on Mom, that's not fair.""Fair?" I repeated, my voice rising. "You three have been pushing the boundaries for months now, and I've had enough. You're going to stay in this house until you learn to behave."Andreuis, the middle child, smirked. "You can't keep us prisoner, Mom.""Watch me," I snapped. "I'm your mother, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep you three in line."Duncan, the youngest, looked up at me with a mischievous glint in his eye. "Thi
Valerie's POVTwo weeks had passed since I'd vowed to keep a closer eye on the triplets, and I was exhausted. I'd been watching them constantly, never leaving them alone for a moment. I'd taken away their privileges, their freedom, and even their friends. But still, I couldn't shake the feeling that they were going to get into trouble again.I was tired, so tired. I hadn't slept in weeks, not properly. I'd been surviving on coffee and adrenaline, but even that was starting to wear off. My eyes felt gritty, my head ached, and my body felt like lead.I sat at the kitchen table, staring blankly at the wall. I couldn't take much more of this. I was stressed, anxious, and worried all the time. What if they got into trouble again? What if they hurt someone? What if they got hurt themselves?I rubbed my temples, trying to ward off the headache that was building. I couldn't keep going on like this. I needed a break, a rest. But I couldn't take one, not now. Not when the triplets were still so
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
