Shannon’s POV

A crisp air hit my face as I stepped out of the hospital with the brothers, days after mom’s death and the birth of my son. A mix of relief and sorrow hung in the atmosphere.

Mom’s passing weighed heavy on my heart, yet the warm feel of life in my arms stirred joy me – my baby boy, my gift, a symbol of new beginnings.

The triplets, my mates and protectors, gathered around me, their concerns carefully written on their faces.

“Shannon, we need to give you time to heal,” Ricky said, his voice soft but firm.

Jules nodded in agreement, “You’ve been through too much. We should leave the pack, start fresh.”

I thought it was a good idea, but I wasn’t sure how Robin would feel about it, and I didn’t feel it would be okay to leave Robin all by himself after mom’s passing.

I just nodded as we headed to the car, thinking we could talk about it at home. The sun dipped below the horizon as we drove away from the hospital, the chill in the air biting through my thin jacket.

Don’t tell me the baby pooped all over the couch again.” Jules called our from by the refrigerator as he took out a beer.“I was at the park, and this older woman approached me.

A mutilated animal, its entire entrails missing.Cole’s eyes widened in horror, while Jules leaned forward, his expression grave. “That’s messed up, man. What do you think could’ve done something like that?” Cole asked, his voice barely above a whisper.“I don’t know, but it ain’t normal,” I replied, my mind racing with unsettling possibilities.“It’s not just you,” Jules mentioned, his gaze sweeping over I and Cole. “I overheard some of my co-workers talking about strange animal deaths at the factory today.”“Are you

I needed answers, and I needed them now.The woman’s gaze never wavered as she leaned in closer. “Have you been seeing dead people in your dreams?” she asked, her tone grave.I nodded slowly, feeling a chill crawl up my spine. “Yes, I have,” I admitted, my voice barely a whisper.The woman’s expression darkened. “Then you need to listen to me carefully,” she said, her voice urgent. “Soon, you’ll start seeing them physically.”My eyes widened in shock. Seeing Selena and Leila in my dreams was terrifying enough, but to see them in the waking world? It was too much to bear.“Why?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “Why is this happening to me?”The woman’s gaze softened, but her expression remained serious. “T

As much as I wanted to keep them safe, I couldn’t deny them the simple joy of being young and carefree. With a resigned smile, I watched as they continued their game of chase and catch, their laughs filling the air with screams.Just then, I felt Jules’ arms wrap around my once again pregnant belly from behind, his embrace warm and comforting.

Let the guards handle this.” I said firmly, approaching his bedside. “You’re not in any condition to be worrying about Matthew right now.”Jules shot me a glare, but I could see the pain in his eyes. “I can’t just sit here while that traitor is out there,” he grumbled, shifting uncomfortably against his pillows.I gently placed a hand on his arm, trying to calm him down. “You need to focus on getting better,” I urged. “The guards will find Matthew eventually.

    Shannon’s POVI walked back to the castle, my mind swirling with thoughts about Matthew. He didn’t deny it. He didn’t even try to. My suspicions were like shadows creeping over me, chilling me to the bone. But without solid proof, I felt like I was playing with smoke.I found Jules in his study, buried under a mountain of paperwork. His tired eyes glanced up at me, and I could tell he was bracing himself for another round of my suspicions.“Jules, I need to talk to you about Matthew,” I blurted out before he could stop me.He sighed heavily, rubbing his temples. “Shannon, we’ve been over this. You’re letting your imagination run wild.”I shook my head, frustration bubbling inside me. “But Jules, I just need you to listen. I know something’s not right.”He looked at me with a mix of sympathy and exasperation. “Shannon, I understand you’re scared after everything that’s happened. But maybe you’re seeing things that aren’t there. It’s understandable, given the trauma you’ve been through.

    Shannon’s POV“I’m not lying to you Jules, you need to believe me when I say that Mathew is not a good person. He is trying to pot against you and why won’t you believe me?” I inquired with a very stern countenance plastered on my face.“Oh please Shannon can you please just stop all of this drama? Why are you bothering yourself over something that you shouldn’t? I don’t know what is feeding you with lies but you know better than to believe everything you hear.” Jules snapped at me, walking back to his desk, and sunk into it without giving me any more regard.I knew he wasn’t going to believe me from the start but why? I’ve been on Mathew’s trial forever and it’s enough for me to know that he is planning on hurting Jules.But why won’t Jules listen? Why is he so certain that Mathew can’t do anything to him? Why am I looking like the crazy one here? All I’m trying to do is to avert him from the danger that is heading right towards him.I couldn’t let anything happen to Jules but at thi

The situation with Matthew had left me unsettled, and I know I had to find a way to make Jules listen to my warnings about him.As I entered the main hall, my eyes immediately fell on Michael, playing innocently with a toy on the floor.

They were all lined up in the living room in a straight line dressed in black and whiteThey had to be at least fifty to a hundred of them.What on earth did we need so many slaves for?I wondered as I scanned their faces.I glanced over at Jukes who seemed a little too confident. I wish I had his confidence. It seemed like he was used to it, unlike me.“These are the palace slaves, they are always at your service, They all have been assigned different stations.

    Jules POVI woke up in a brightly lit room. I blinked, trying to adjust to the harsh fluorescent light.“Jules!” A familiar sounding voice called out and I frowned as her face came into view.“Shannon,” I sat up a little too quickly and groaned out in absolute pain.“Hey Jules,” she smiled at me.“Don’t move too much. You have not yet healed up.” She said, her sweet voice wrapping around me like a blanket.“You’ve been released?” it was supposed to be an observation but it came out as a question. I was so happy to see her, I couldn’t believe I had won. At some point, I had completely blacked out but if she was here with me then I had won.“Thanks to you. I’m so sorry for what you had to go through for my sake.* She said, hugging me.I winced at the pain and she quickly let go of me as if I were some fragile glass.“No,” I protested at the absence of her warmth. I wanted it back but I knew she would be too afraid to hurt me. That was just who Shannon was.“I’m sorry, you seem to still
