Eloise’s POV: Hearing the door close behind her, she snaps her gaze to me. She was an older woman. Not that old, around five or six years older, and she has a gentle smile on her face that makes you want to cry on her shoulder. She seems very nice, and I contemplated telling her about my situation, yet I doubt I had a chance with Dexter standing within earshot. He could be anywhere. He might be on the way to see my babies. Fear engulfs me at the thought. I do not want him anywhere near my children, but his threat made me fear for their lives. What am I going to do now? “My name is Abigail, by the way. I am the doctor who delivered your triplets,” she says, a smile on her freckled face. The woman is stunning, and pretty young to be a doctor, too. "Of course, doc," "Call me Abbie." She shrugs, sitting on the edge of the bed across from me. I furrow my brows, wondering why the small talk. It's as if she wants to get close to me. Nonetheless, I meet her eyes with a smile of
Dexter's POV:Stepping outside that damn forsaken room, I could still feel that bloody doctor's eyes glaring daggers into me. What the fuck is her deal?Her scrutinizing eyes make me want to beat the fuck out of her. She thinks she knows something, but she should know. Curiosity killed the cat. I will fucking kill her and anyone who stands in my way when it comes to my El. They can fucking have those ugly fucking babies for all I care. I just want El and I to get out of here right the fuck now. But that nosy ass doctor won't let us. If I had it my way, I'd rip her fucking head right where she stood. If only she wasn't fucking hot, making me want to fuck her against those doors until she screams, begging for more. My wolf chuckles, the sound grating my fucking ears. "Oh yeah? Then do it," he taunts me like he always does since the moment he popped in my head and in my life. Half of the reasons I screw up, was because of him. Well, most of it.'You can't do shit,' he cackles loud in m
Eloise’s POV:Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes and wait. In and out, waiting for something to happen.Five minutes ago, Abbie slipped out the door without being seen. Much to my surprise, Dexter is nowhere to be seen. I had expected him to barge in and demand an explanation. But, nothing. The more time passed, the more I worried. He was so adamant to have me discharged and leave this hospital immediately. I could see the change in his mood every time he fidgets with his thumb or clench his jaw. So where is he?Suddenly, the double doors to my room swings open. My head snapped to it. In an instant, my heart leapt out of my chest as my eyes fell on Dexter. Yet he was not alone. In his arms was one of the triplets. My baby. And behind him was a nurse walking in with a stroller, and I had no doubt it carried the remaining two. One whiff of them and I knew. I moved my eyes to Dexter, who seemed lost in the eyes of my baby. His smile reached up to his ears, and I gawked at him in d
Kaden's POV:"Fuck this." I gritted through my teeth, glaring down at some blonde bimbo's ass pointed at me. She laid there, like a fucking idiot, her face pressed against the mattress while her back arched to fake her sexy figure.What a fucking whore. And a fucking mistake to trust Colton to bring me someone for a decent fuck.How could this be a decent fuck? My cock is barely up. It looks dead and fucking raw, it won't even budge even if press the tip into that woman's pussy.I'm fucking done with this shit."Get out." I frowned, pulling my pants back up and moving out of that damn uncomfortable bed. I glanced at her. I don't even remember her name. She slightly tilted her head. And now I know why it was so uncomfortable. Her awkward position, her face... it just isn't it for me. She stared at me in shock and disbelief whilst I pulled my lip up into a snarl. She's not leaving. Why?"I said get the fuck out!" I roared, my command rolling over her making her jump up in surprise. He
Dexter's POV:Initially, I planned to go out for a bit for a cigarette when I thought of buying her food. Now that she's breastfeeding, I think she naturally would need some nutritious food in her stomach.Ditching the cigarette, I walked around looking for a restaurant. I spotted one located just down the road near the hospital. It won't be long so I decided not to take my car and walk. Five minutes passed, and I reached the restaurant without a hitch. I went in and ordered a two chicken soups, one salad, and added extra fruits for her just in case.Looking down at the tote bag they handed me now filled with goods, I smiled feeling satisfied.I hope this makes a good impression for her. I meant what I said.Seeing the triplets, I suddenly felt... whole. Something I never felt for a long time. Since meeting El for the first time, I had nothing. I lost everything, the moment I came home that night only to find Selena... my beautiful mate, tied to a pole and screaming her lungs out
Kaden's POV:The woman opened and closed her mouth as she gawked at me, taking in my appearance and aura like it's the fucking first time she was ever in the presence of an alpha.I gritted my teeth, irritation boiling in my blood already, and I was about to tell her to fuck herself when my beta stepped in."The Alpha asked you a question." He repeated, pushing his aura down against her, just enough for her to snap out of trance. She blinked and glanced between me and Colton, then quickly ripped her eyes from me to look down at her computer. "S-Sorry, Alpha." She stuttered, her fingers shaking nervously as she typed something on the screen.My expression remained hard and cold as usual. But my patience was wearing thin.My eyes scanned the entire hospital, aware of the gazes of nurses and patients directed to me. Some were in awe, but most of them... looked at me in utter fear. They all looked the opposite direction and moved quickly to get away. I would rather they do because I wal
Kaden’s POV:I had my best men, warriors and trackers, follow us and keep track of the bastard who took my mate and pups. Meanwhile, my wolf was fuming inside. He wanted to get his claws on him as soon as fucking possible.“He’s going to pay,” Rictus seethed, while I tightened my grip on the wheel. “He fucking will.” Currently, Colton is just two cars behind him, and I was right behind when I saw the car make a sharp turn headed west. Colton missed it swiftly by one second. I, however, was just in time.I punched the gas pedal, turning the wheel west before drifting as I positioned the car back in line. In no time, I am head to tail with his car. My eyes darted to the rear, where I could see my warriors change direction, headed straight to me.Turning my attention back to the road, his car isn’t that far up. I could easily catch up to him. But I knew better than bumping the rear of his car. Especially when my pups and mate are in there. I am not planning to get close until I know whe
Kaden’s POV:“I will kill him…” Rictus growled menacingly. In my mind, I wanted to do the same thing. To rip his heart from inside out, tear him apart limb by fucking limb. But something stopped me.Looking up, I stared at the paused video for a long time. Colton and Garret knew when to look away, instead staying alert on any odd movements around. They did not want to disrespect their luna. Apparently, the only one who treated her with disrespect here, is me.I failed her. I fucking failed her. How many times did this happen? I felt a pang in my heart knowing I knew the answer to that already. I felt it.I had so many questions. The scandal… and now this video… My pups… Did she get through it all alone? I wanted to learn everything.“He’s here.” Garret’s statement snapped me out of my thoughts.The moment I looked up, I saw his face, and the coy, knowing smile that played on those lips. It triggered my wolf to the point of no control, pushing me forward and I shifted. The reins ar
151Eloise’s POV:The sight of him being vulnerable, losing control beside me makes my heart clench. As I watch his lower lip tremble, I couldn’t help but feel guilty. It felt like stealing a part of his life. One I can never give back.A lump forms in my throat. I swallow, instantly feeling the dryness of it in my tongue as I drown in my own guilt.“They’re beautiful,” he says finally, his voice hoarse. “F*cking beautiful,” he chuckles, wiping the tears off his face as if to get a grip.I nod, “They are,”Kaden takes his eyes off the screen for a minute and looks at me. I bite the inside of my cheeks, holding his gaze. There is an intensity in it that made knots in my stomach. For a moment, I forgot how to breathe.Until he rips his gaze away and I let out a breath.“Are there more?” he asks, in a gut-wrenchingly polite way. His eyes move between our triplets back and forth.I press my lips in a line, and we both focus on the screen before I show him other pictures of them growing up
Eloise’s POV:We make our way back to the grounds. I’m relieved Kaden at least saw through the wolf for who he is. A man, and for years, he’d been lost after losing his mate and unborn pup. I couldn’t even begin to imagine how he felt that day, when the rogues clamped their teeth around her belly and ripped it out of her. Even now, outside that memory, I can see it. All the blood, and his hands covered in Maya’s blood and his unborn pup’s, makes my heart break.I couldn’t imagine my life without my pups. They are everything, and I would give my last breath for them in a blink.Still, the anguish and excruciating pain he felt was devastating. He lost everything, and I couldn’t help but feel, in some way, how it must have felt for Kaden.I glance at Kaden walking by my side. He had been awful silent for a while ever since Walter shifted. I noted the shock on his face, but his lips had been sealed shut.Logan left to run some errands, but before he left he winked at me and smiled, earnin
Kaden’s POV:Eloise’s body is flush against mine. I could feel Logan’s piercing gaze glare holes into the back of my head, but he’s the last thing I should worry about right now. I’ve just witnessed my mate search through a rogue’s memory, which is near to impossible, unheard of. I can tell by the way her eyes rolled to the back of her head. Also by the way the wolf whimpered and his eyes flicker like his life had flashed before him. And also because Rictus told me.But how could this be? Even Rictus have no idea. But something else stirs inside me, unsettled.Eloise sobs into my chest. Her body shaking uncontrollably.I lift her chin with my finger, whispering sweet nothings into her ear before she lifts her eyes, locking onto mine.“Tell me,” I rasp, “What did you see?”Her bottom lip quivers before she finally speaks, and proceeds to tell me everything. Apparently, this wolf right here is beta to some unknown pack. And her pregnant mate was attacked by rogues who had the unquenchab
Eloise's POV:Kaden slits his eyes and looks at me, "Eloise," "No." I glue my feet to the ground, letting him know I am not going anywhere until he listens.Why does he want me to leave so bad?"You have to listen,"Kaden moves his gaze between me and Logan who tosses a knowing smirk my way.Kaden sighs, "Fine." He grunts.Logan gives me a nod, and I turn back to the wolf, Walter.I extend my hand, slipping it between the bars which inevitably elicits a growl from Kaden. I shoot him a glare and he does not move, but his eyes are glued to my hand, preparing for the worst.Before I can place my hand on the wolf's fur, he leaned forward, pushing his forehead onto my hand instead. The moment my fingertips brushed his fur, my eyes roll to the back of my head as I am transported to a place where my feet is rooted to the grass. I felt my soul leave my body as visions began to flash before my eyes in nanoseconds, but I feel as if I am right there.I blink, opening my eyes slowly. When I look
Eloise’s POV:The cells is probably the filthiest place in the pack house. While everything above these old cages are filled with luxurious pieces from floor to the damn ceiling, everything down here gathers dust and filth. What’s more, I feel like the prisoners here were plucked and tossed into the pit of the abyss, never to be seen or heard from again. And it reeks of blood and feces that can never be seen clearly as not a single ray of sunlight touches these dark cells.Is this what the rumors were all about when they labeled Kaden as the notorious, merciless alpha ever known?I can’t believe this. I can’t believe him.I step towards the cell Logan has brought me to see, and I duck my head to see the same wolf who took my side unexpectedly that day I was attacked in the forest.“Hello,” I speak out, trying to reach him. He was still in wolf form, curled up facing the far wall.“Can I talk to you just for a second?” As my eyes focus on his form, I furrow my brows when I see blood co
146Eloise’s POV:Shaking my head, I hold back angry tears before they rise to the surface. The hallway is wrapped in suffocating silence, which also means he did not follow after me.Good. If he really wants my trust, he would let me wallow in my regret for ever coming back here in the first place. I swallow the lump in my throat, and walk faster before turning around the corner.The next moment, I slam into a hard chest that has me stumbling backwards, and I lose balance. I brace myself for the fall as I feel my body leaning back. I squeeze my eyes shut knowing this has got to hurt but surprise fills me when a hand wraps around my waist and my back hits something hard. And that is not the cold, tiled floor of this ridiculous mansion of a pack house.“Look who finally woke up,” a deep chuckle resounded in my ear, and I blink my eyes open.“Logan,” He flashes me his handsome smile and places me gently back on my feet.“You scared the shit out of me,” I chuckle, unable to hide the ne
Eloise's POV:I groan, blinking rapidly. My mind is in a whirlwind of complicated emotions as I try to figure out where the hell I am. The last thing I remember was the sound of growling and snarling as a fight breaks loose all around me. Rogues. And one I couldn't seem to get off my pounding head.The wolf with blue eyes.He helped me. My head whips up so fast and I gasp when I remembered everything that had happened so far.And that scent that engulfed me while my body felt like it was flying in the air, lingered close. Logan.He saved me, didn't he?"You're awake." My head snaps to my right as a shiver snakes down my throbbing, aching pussy. It hurts so bad. And I'm not even exaggerating it.The voice had broken out so close right next to me, before I was even aware of his dark figure leaning against the wall and his arms crossed against his chest."Kaden," I blow out a breath as I take him all in. His hair sat a sexy mess on top of his head, looking like he'd run his fingers thr
Kaden’s POV:‘Alpha, we found her.’ The pack link split through my head. The words sending an instant relief through me and I come to a screeching halt after running for miles for hours. If I were being honest, the run was driving me crazy.Eloise isn’t in any condition to be wandering around outside the pack house. Hell, she shouldn’t even be one foot away from her bed.Everyone knows that she-wolves mated to Alphas turn extremely weak after their Alpha mate successfully broke their heat. Eloise does not just happen to be my mate, but she is also Alpha by blood. In terms of sex drive, Alpha females are on par, or they might even exceed an Alpha’s sex drive. She may not remember everything from the past three days she had gone into extreme heat, but I had kept my eye on her and could say she had the drive of two she-wolves combined. Her wolf took that opportunity and dominated me in every way and I let her. And fuck, did I relish every singly moment of it.She was beautiful as when sh
Eloise’s POV:I have never seen eyes that glowed like that before, nor have I ever seen wolves, rogues at that, bearing the same eye color.‘Be careful, Eloise.’ My wolf warned me. As I thought, not even Adeline could tell how the hell these rogues turned out the way they are.They exuded a strange aura, the same but strong aura none of them should be able to possess. As a matter of fact, once a wolf turned rogue, their aura ought to be diminished little by little. And by the time they had turned feral and completely lost their sanity, their auras should have been as good as gone.But these rogues…Their aura is surprisingly strong, which was in itself impossible.I gave my wolf a nod of acknowledgement just before the largest wolf lunged right at me. Just in time, my body reacted and I ducked my head, sprinting forward, but the action caused enough pain shooting through my body and I winced.Ignoring the pain, I attacked the largest wolf just as it turned around to bare its sharp tee
