Valerie's POVI stood in the training room, my eyes wide with disbelief. The Alpha, Diavolo, was standing in front of me, a sly grin spreading across his face."You can't be serious," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.He chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I'm completely serious, Valerie. I've decided to train your triplets."I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. The Alpha, the most feared and respected werewolf in the pack, wanted to train my babies?"But... why?" I stuttered.He shrugged, his grin still plastered on his face. "Consider it a gift. You saved my life, and this is my way of repaying you."I couldn't believe it. This was one of the best gifts I could have ever asked for. My triplets, trained by the Alpha himself? They would be unstoppable.I felt a surge of excitement and gratitude. "Thank you," I said, my voice sincere. "Thank you so much."The Alpha nodded, his expression turning serious. "I'll make sure they're trained to be strong and powerful. The
Valerie's POVI sat in the office, laughing and smiling as Diavolo regaled me with stories of his pack's antics. He was leaning back in his chair, his eyes sparkling with amusement, and I couldn't help but be charmed by his carefree demeanor.As we chatted, I found myself blushing more and more, my face growing hotter by the minute. I couldn't believe how easy it was to talk to him, how much I enjoyed his company."...and then, Luca tried to convince me that he was a master chef," Diavolo said, chuckling. "Let's just say it was a disaster."I giggled, my blush deepening. "I can imagine."Diavolo grinned, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "You should have seen him, trying to cook a simple meal. It was like a war zone in the kitchen."I laughed, feeling a sense of ease with him that I'd never felt before. We talked about random things, from our favorite books to our childhood memories, and I found myself feeling more and more comfortable around him.As the conversation flowed, I realiz
Valerie's POVI couldn't believe how natural it felt to be around Diavolo. We had been spending more and more time together, and I found myself looking forward to our conversations and training sessions.As I walked into the office, I saw Diavolo sitting behind the desk, his eyes fixed on me with a warm smile. My heart skipped a beat as I felt a flutter in my chest."Hey," he said, his voice low and gentle. "How's your day going?"I shrugged, trying to play it cool. "It's going. Just busy with the usual stuff."Diavolo nodded, his eyes never leaving mine. "I know the feeling. But I'm glad we have some time together now."I smiled, feeling a sense of ease with him that I couldn't explain. "Me too."As we talked, I found myself opening up to him in ways I never thought possible. He listened intently, his eyes sparkling with interest, and I felt like I could tell him anything.And then, without even realizing it, I reached out and touched his arm. It was a gentle touch, but it sent shive
Rohan's POVI watched as Valerie laughed and smiled with that man, her eyes sparkling in a way I'd never seen before. And something inside me snapped.Who was this guy? And why was she with him?I felt a wave of anger wash over me, followed by a deep-seated jealousy. I couldn't explain it, but seeing Valerie with someone else made me crazy jealous.I was f**king furious.How could she move on so quickly? Didn't she know I still had feelings for her?I took a step forward, my fists clenched at my sides. I wanted to punch that smug look off his face.But something held me back. Maybe it was the way Valerie looked at him, with a happiness I'd never seen before.Or maybe it was the realization that I had no right to be angry. I'd pushed her away, after all.Whatever it was, I stood there, frozen in rage and jealousy, as Valerie and that man continued to laugh and smile together.And I knew I had to go out of there before I did something I'd regret.As I stood there, seething with anger a
Diavolo's POVAs we walked away from the tense scene, I turned to Valerie with a questioning gaze. "What just happened?" I asked, my voice soft and concerned.Valerie sighed, her shoulders sagging in exhaustion. "Those two men... they're from my past," she began."Your past?" I repeated, my curiosity piqued.Valerie nodded. "Yes. They're people I thought I'd left behind. But apparently, they've come back for me."I frowned, my protective instincts kicking in. "What do they want from you?"Valerie's eyes clouded over, her voice barely above a whisper. "They want to hurt me. They want to drag me back to the life I escaped from."I growled, my anger rising. "That's not going to happen," I vowed. "I won't let them touch you."Valerie's eyes flashed with gratitude, but then she looked away, her voice tinged with sadness. "I appreciate that, Diavolo. But I need to go home and rest. This has all been too much for me."I nodded, understanding. "Of course. Let's get you home."As we walked, I
Valerie's POVI woke up to the sound of my door creaking open, groggily opening my eyes to see Diavolo standing in my room, a solemn look on his face. "Hey," he said softly, walking towards me.I rubbed my temples, still feeling the remnants of my headache from the previous day's encounter with Rohan and Helios. "Hey," I replied, my voice weak.Diavolo sat down beside me, his eyes filled with concern. "I have something to tell you," he said, his voice low.My heart skipped a beat as I sensed the seriousness in his tone. "Okay, what is it?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Diavolo hesitated for a moment before pulling out his laptop and opening it. "I did some research," he said, his eyes locked on mine. "And I found something."My eyes widened in shock as I saw the documents on the screen. My mind raced as I read the words, my heart sinking with each passing sentence."No," I whispered, my eyes filling with tears. "It can't be."Diavolo's face was grim. "I'm afraid it's true,
Valerie's POVI woke up feeling empty and hollow, the events of the previous day still weighing heavily on my mind. The revelation about Helios and Rohan's families, the confrontation, the slap... it all felt like a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from.I rolled over in bed and buried my face in my pillow, letting out a sob. Why did it have to be like this? Why did they have to deceive me like that?Diavolo's gentle voice broke through my sorrow, and I felt his hand on my back, stroking me softly. "Hey, Valerie, it's okay. I'm here for you."I turned to him, tears streaming down my face. "I feel so stupid, Diavolo. I trusted them, and they lied to me."Diavolo pulled me into his arms, holding me close. "You're not stupid, Valerie. You're just trusting. And that's a good thing. Don't let their betrayal take that away from you."I sniffled, feeling a bit better with Diavolo's warmth and comfort. "I don't know what I'd do without you," I whispered.Diavolo smiled and kissed my forehead
Valerie's POVAfter days of traveling, we finally reached the sanctuary. But as we emerged from the forest, my heart sank. Everything was in ruins.The once-beautiful buildings were now crumbling and overgrown with vines. The streets were littered with debris, and the air was thick with the scent of decay.I felt a wave of despair wash over me. This was supposed to be my pack's safe haven, their home. But now it was nothing but a ghost town.Diavolo's hand found mine, his grip tight. "Valerie, I'm so sorry," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.I shook my head, trying to process what I was seeing. "This can't be," I whispered. "My pack was supposed to be here. They were supposed to be safe."We walked through the ruins, our footsteps echoing off the buildings. I saw signs of a struggle, of a fierce battle. But there was no sign of my pack.I felt a lump form in my throat as I realized the truth. My pack was gone. They had been destroyed, just like our home.Diavolo's arms wrappe
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
