The pain hit out of nowhere.

Georgia gasped, her body curling in on itself as a sharp, unbearable pressure wrapped around her belly. For a second, she thought it was just another cramp, another one of those miserable pains she’d been getting for weeks now. But then it came again, stronger this time, ripping through her like claws dragging down her spine.

Her breath hitched.

No. No, not today.

She wasn’t ready.

Her hands trembled as she clutched her belly, her heart hammering so hard it felt like it might burst. The baby, no, the babies, they weren’t supposed to come yet. She still had time. Didn’t she?

Anna was outside hanging clothes when Georgia’s legs suddenly buckled beneath her. A strangled cry tore from her throat as she collapsed onto the wooden floor.

"Anna!" Her voice was hoarse, desperate.

Footsteps pounded against the floorboards. The door slammed open. "Georgia?"

Georgia couldn’t answer. Another contraction ripped through her, and this time, her vision bl

  • PREGNANT AND REJECTED: RETURN WITH THE TRIPLETS    chapter 8

    Georgia's body was numb, her breath shallow. She was falling, deep, heavy, sinking into nothingness. But something yanked her back. A sound. Small, fragile cries. Her babies. Her eyes snapped open, her vision blurring before sharpening again. The wooden ceiling above her swayed, and for a second, she didn’t know where she was. Then the pain hit. Her entire body ached like she had been trampled by a pack of wolves. Her arms felt weak, trembling as she pushed herself up. The weight in her lap shifted, and she looked down. Three tiny bundles. Her heart clenched. They were safe. A choked sob rose in her throat as she touched each of their faces, their warmth grounding her. She had survived. They had survived. "Georgia!" Anna’s voice was sharp with relief, and a second later, hands gripped her shoulders. Georgia turned, blinking at Anna’s worried face. "You scared the hell out of me!" Anna exhaled heavily, running a hand through her disheveled hair. "I thought you"

    "Who’s there?!"Georgia’s voice cut through the silence, sharp and commanding. She spun around, her heartbeat hammering against her ribs. The cabin door stood slightly open, swinging ever so gently as if someone had just slipped inside, or out. Her grip tightened around the blade in her hand. She had locked that door. The night air slithered in through the gap, carrying the scent of damp earth and something else… something rotten. A footstep. Soft. Slow. Deliberate.Her blood ran cold. She wasn’t imagining it. Something, or someone was in here with her. The wooden floor creaked. Another step. Her eyes darted toward the shadows near the cupboard. A shape moved, shifting ever so slightly. Georgia’s breath caught in her throat. Her fingers flexed around the knife handle as she took a step forward. Creeeak.Another step.Her instincts screamed at her to wake the children, to run, to fight, but she refused to panic. Instead, she forced herself forward, inch by inch, u

    “I can't do this, Anna."Georgia's voice was sharp, her pulse pounding in her ears. She clenched her fists, the letter still crumpled in Anna’s trembling hands. The fire crackled behind them, casting flickering shadows across the cabin walls. Anna took a desperate step forward. “Please, Georgia. I need you. I can’t do this alone.” Her voice cracked, the raw emotion behind it twisting something deep in Georgia’s chest. “You don’t understand.” Georgia’s throat tightened. “If I go back… I’m not sure I’ll ever leave again.” Anna shook her head violently. “No. That won’t happen. You’re not the same girl you were back then. You’re stronger. You’ve built a life. You’ve built a family.” She gestured toward the small room where the triplets were sleeping soundly. “You are *not* weak anymore, Georgia.” Georgia swallowed hard, her body tense. Anna’s voice softened. “Look, I swear, you won’t have to see them. You won’t have to face anything you don’t want to. I just… I just need someone

    "You're being paranoid, Georgia."The words echoed in her mind, sharp and biting.She exhaled slowly, forcing her fingers to unclench. Her pulse was still racing, her instincts screaming, but there was nothing. No figures lurking in the trees. No shadows slipping through the night.Just ghosts.Old memories clawing their way back to the surface."Damn it."She hated how easily this place could shake her.A hand touched her arm, and she nearly flinched.Anna.Her Friend’s face was lined with worry. “Are you okay?”Georgia let out a bitter laugh, shaking her head. “What do you think?”Anna sighed. “I get it. I do. But you’re not alone this time.”Georgia swallowed the lump in her throat and looked over at her children. The triplets were standing a few feet away, Kelsey and Keira whispering while Kelvin watched her with quiet intensity.Her son was always the most perceptive. Always the one to notice when something was wrong.She needed to pull herself together. For them.Straightening h

    Georgia remained quiet, her heartbeat heavy in her ears. Anna’s desperate plea still lingered in the air fragile yet unyielding. “Please, Georgia… help me." Georgia’s fingers curled against her palm. The answer was obvious. She couldn't walk away from Anna. Not now. But a storm of thoughts churned in her mind, each one sharper than the last. What if she helped Anna, and the village turned against her? What if the Alphawhoever he was saw her as an obstacle? And worse… What if someone told her parents she was here? She swallowed hard. That was a thought she couldn’t afford. Her parents had spent years hunting her down, dragging her back whenever she tried to escape. She had run too many times, only to be caught, caged, and punished. The last time… she had barely survived. Her body remembered even when she tried to forget, the sting of betrayal, the cold iron of their will pressing against her throat. If they found her now… if they knew she was here… No. She forced a

    A deep, commanding voice cut through the heavy silence like a blade. “I see my presence has caught you all off guard.” The air in the room shifted. Every head turned toward the doorway, where Jared, the Alpha, stood with an air of undeniable authority. His sharp, calculating gaze swept across the space before settling on Anna’s parents. His arrival was unexpected. Anna’s mother gasped, quickly straightening her dress as if that would make any difference. Her father cleared his throat, forcing a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Alpha Jared,” he said, bowing slightly. “What an honor.” Beside the Alpha, dressed in a gown fit for royalty, was Serafina. Georgia felt her stomach drop. She hadn’t seen her sister in years, but she’d never forget that face, smug, flawless, and brimming with superiority. Serefina stood tall, her presence as dazzling as ever, as if she owned the very air in the room. She had always wanted what Georgia had, even if it was nothing. And no

    Jared’s fingers twitched at his sides. His chest felt tight, his wolf stirring with restless energy, but he kept his face neutral. The weight of Georgia’s gaze on him unsettled him in ways he couldn’t explain. He had thrown her away. Five years ago, he had rejected her without a second thought, yet now… now, his instincts were screaming at him. Telling him something wasn’t right. Across the room, Serefina’s smirk wavered. She had caught the moment, the shift in Jared’s attention, the way his eyes lingered on Georgia for just a second too long. And she hated it. Serefina had always been good at reading people. It was how she got what she wanted. And right now, she could see Jared’s restraint cracking. That wasn’t part of her plan. She subtly slid closer to him, her manicured fingers ghosting over his arm. “Alpha,” she purred, drawing his attention back to her. “You must be exhausted from your travels. Let’s sit. I’m sure our gracious hosts would love to offer you somethin

    “Alpha, the table is set,” Anna’s mother called out, wiping her hands on her apron. Jared stepped out of the room, his gaze sharp despite the early morning haze. His muscles tensed instinctively, always alert, even in the quiet moments. The scent of freshly brewed coffee and warm bread drifted through the air, mixing with the crisp scent of the forest just beyond the open windows. Georgia was already there, placing a plate down with practiced ease, her movements smooth but distant. Her long hair was loosely tied back, a few strands slipping free to frame her face. She didn’t look up, her focus fixed on the task at hand, but there was a stiffness in her posture one he knew all too well. Something was wrong. His wolf stirred. She hadn’t looked at him once. Seraphina, on the other hand, emerged behind him with a satisfied stretch, her arms rising above her head as she let out a soft, contented sigh. The silk of her robe slipped slightly off one shoulder, revealing just enoug

  • PREGNANT AND REJECTED: RETURN WITH THE TRIPLETS    chapter 47

    Chapter 47"Mommy!" Keira's cry sliced through the stillness of the night.She stumbled through the winding paths of the palace garden, her small hands clutching at the bushes as if they'd lead her home. Tears blurred her vision, hot streaks running down her face as she choked on sobs."Kelvin! Kelsey!" she cried louder, voice cracking. "Where are you?!"She had run. Her little heart couldn't take the shouting, the fear, the way Caleb's voice boomed and echoed like thunder. She just wanted to hide. She didn't mean to leave her brothers behind. She didn't mean to get lost.Now, everything around her was dark and strange. The flowers didn’t smell like the ones at home. The garden paths were too neat, too long, too cold.Her knees gave out as she collapsed beside a marble fountain, curling in on herself and wrapping her arms around her legs. She rocked gently, trying to steady her breathing."Mommy…" she whispered, broken. "Please find me..."A soft rustle. Footsteps. Calm, slow, sure.J

    "Oh no, you can’t come with me," Georgia said firmly, kneeling in front of the triplets as they stood in their pajamas, eyes wide with hope. "Your mommy is working as a maid in the palace. It’s not a place for kids to run around.""But why not?" Keira’s voice cracked. "We’ll be good. We won’t make noise. We just want to see where you go.""Yeah," Kelvin added, clutching the hem of her coat. "You said we’re a pack. Packs stay together."Georgia sighed, brushing Kelsey’s curls from her eyes. "You are my pack. But this isn’t a fun visit. It’s work. And it’s dangerous. There are people in that palace who wouldn’t think twice about hurting someone like you.""Someone like us?" Kelsey whispered, her bottom lip trembling.Georgia felt her heart twist. "Someone without power. Without protection. I need you to stay here, be safe. Please, for me.""When can we come?" Keira asked, blinking fast to stop the tears."Soon," Georgia promised. "Next time I visit, if things are safer… I’ll bring you w

    Georgia felt it before her phone even rang.That flutter in her chest. That ache she couldn't quite name.When Jared’s name lit up her screen, her breath caught, not from fear this time, but from something deeper. A pull she didn’t want to resist anymore.She stepped out onto the porch and answered, her voice soft and breathy, almost like a confession. “Hey.”Jared’s voice poured through the line like warm honey. “Hey, baby. You okay?”God, how could three words sound like a warm embrace?“I’m… getting there,” she said quietly. “It’s been a long day.”There was a pause on the line. The kind that said more than words ever could.“Didn’t want to push,” Jared finally said. “Just needed to hear your voice.”The way he said it, low, reverent, almost worshipful, made her heartache most beautifully.“You miss me?” she asked, leaning against the porch railing, eyes closed.“More than I should,” he replied without hesitation. “More than I know how to hide.”Her lips parted, a soft breath e

  • PREGNANT AND REJECTED: RETURN WITH THE TRIPLETS    chapter 44

    Chapter 44 It was a brown new day, Georgia sat up slowly, the scent of warm pancakes and something sweet, maybe syrup or cinnamon, drifting through the cracked door. Laughter echoed faintly from the kitchen below. The triplets. Their giggles had always been the best alarm clock.Georgia pulled the blanket tighter around herself and let her eyes wander across the room. A photo of her pregnant self with Anna, both of them in oversized hats, smiled from a dusty frame on the dresser. Her throat tightened. So much had changed. She got dressed slowly, slipping into a soft cardigan and jeans, brushing her fingers against the dresser’s edge like she was gathering strength from every memory carved into the wood.Downstairs was loud. Beautifully, wonderfully loud. “Mom! Mom! I made you toast but I licked the butter first!” Kelsey announced, proudly holding up a half-eaten slice. “You what?” Georgia gasped, laughing as she caught the toast and pulled her daughter into a hug. Kelvin sat

    I’m home! Who missed me?” Georgia called out as she stepped out of the car, her voice light with forced cheer, but her eyes scanning the surroundings with a quiet longing.The breeze welcomed her instantly, warm and gentle, brushing against her skin like a familiar hug. The scent of wildflowers, fresh earth, and sun-warmed grass swirled around her as she stood still for a moment, breathing it all in.She closed her eyes briefly, letting the moment sink in.It had been so long, too long, since she’d felt anything close to peace. No deadlines. No Jared. No Seraphina. No pretending to be fine.Just this place.The countryside looked just as she remembered it. The winding road, the small wooden gate, and the rose-wrapped cottage just ahead, glowing under the lazy afternoon sun. The gravel shifted softly beneath her feet as she took a slow step forward, her heart beating a strange rhythm in her chest.“I missed you too,” she whispered under her breath, even though no one had answered her y

    “As long as you’re with me, we’ll face this together,” Jared said, his voice steady but fierce. “You’re the one I love, Georgia. Not Seraphina. That part of my past is dead.”Georgia hesitated, eyes dropping to the floor. “But…”“No buts,” Jared interrupted, gently lifting her chin so she met his gaze. “Don’t forget, I’m still the Alpha. And when it comes to us, I decide what stays, and what doesn’t.”A flicker of defiance flashed in her eyes, but she only nodded. “Alright… if you say so.”She stepped back, her voice softening. “I should get going. There are chores I’ve been assigned, and I don’t want more trouble.”Jared let her hand slip from his. “Fine. But Georgia, look at me.”She paused at the door, turning halfway.“I meant every word,” he said. “And if anyone dares question my loyalty to you, they’ll answer to me.”Her lips curled into the smallest smile. “We’ll see if you still mean that when Seraphina starts playing games again.”She left before he could respond, leaving him

    Chapter 41“What?” Georgia screamed, panic rising in her voice. “Attack from where?”Jared suddenly burst into laughter.She blinked, confused and angry. “What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you laughing?”He stepped closer, chest heaving, eyes burning with something darker than humor.“From your heart, Georgia,” he said, voice dropping to a husky whisper. “Your love is making me go crazy. That’s how my heart rings for you, like a damn alarm. Loud. Wild. Unstoppable.”Her breath caught.His hands cupped her cheeks. “Every time you’re near me, it’s chaos. I can’t think straight. Can’t fight straight. Can’t even sleep without dreaming about you. And last night”He didn’t finish.He didn’t have to.She felt it too.Georgia took a shaky step back, trying to catch her breath. “You’re insane.”“Only for you,” he said, stalking toward her again. “Tell me you didn’t feel it. Last night. Just tell me, and I’ll back off.”She didn’t say anything.Couldn’t.Because yes. She felt it. Still f

    The night air was cool, but Georgia’s skin burned.She stood in front of Jared’s door again.No apron. No linens. No excuse.Just herself.Her bare feet were quiet against the stone floor, her hand trembling as she reached for the handle. She didn’t knock this time. She just… walked in.Jared was shirtless, fresh from the training yard, a towel around his neck and sweat still glistening on his chest. His eyes snapped to her the second the door creaked.“Georgia?” His voice was low. Rough. Cautious.She didn’t speak.She couldn’t.She stepped forward. One, two, three small steps. Then stopped. Her breath hitched in her throat. Her fingers curled at her sides.He dropped the towel, muscles flexing as he moved closer. “Say something.”She shook her head.He frowned. “Then what are you doing here?”She looked up, finally meeting his gaze. “You said you’d fight for me.”He stilled.“I’m not ready,” she whispered. “But I don’t want to run anymore.”Jared’s eyes darkened, the hunger in them

    “I need to stop this,” Georgia whispered into her trembling hands.The dim glow of the candle flickered against the stone walls of the palace’s service corridor. Her heart still pounded in her chest from the dream or hallucination; she wasn’t even sure anymore. Jared hadn’t come into the room. He hadn’t said those words. She had imagined every second of it.And that terrified her more than anything else.Because it meant she wanted it. Wanted him.Even after everything.Even after being discarded like an afterthought five years ago.She rose from the war room chair, smoothing her apron and tying it tightly, almost as if binding her feelings in place. No more of this. No more foolish fantasies.She was a maid. A palace maid. She had no place in an Alpha’s heart, especially one like Jared’s...⁠✿..⁠✿..By midmorning, Georgia was in the East Wing, arms full of fresh linens and polished silver trays.
