—Alpha Leo's POV— I couldn't believe it, if Zeo wasn't there, I would've thought that maybe my eyes were deceiving me, but they weren't, it was her, it was Selene. She was older but she was even more beautiful than the last time I saw her and it was clear to me that she wasn't the same girl I rejected six years ago. No, in her place was a woman, a strong, confident woman. The way she talked to me, I mean she wasn't rude but she had this authority in her voice. And she was a mother, a mother. At first when I saw that little boy run towards her and call out to her, I had this shock and dread run down my spine, before she left she told me she was pregnant but I didn't give a fuck, I was so caught up with Scarlett coming back to me. But the children weren't mine, which only meant one thing, she had moved on, she had someone else in her life and for some reason that made my blood boil. Somehow we made it back to my house and back into the office, I took my seat and
—Lena's POV— “Uhmmm….” I trailed off, trying to think of what to say, that's the thing with kids, they hear everything and they're not scared to call you out. “His name is Leo, he is the Alpha of this pack. Remember I explained to you and your sibling who an Alpha is.” I remind him. “Yes I remember, but why did you tell him we were four years old, we are five, not four mummy.” He says as he tries to give me a stern face but he just ends up looking so cute. “I'm sorry baby, I must've mispoken, the next time I meet with him I'll make sure to correct it alright.” I tell him and then he smiles and nods his head. Thank goodness, crisis averted. I take Luke out of his car seat and Zoey carries Karla, I'm just happy that it was Liam that woke up and not Like, Luke would've not been satisfied with the answer I gave to Liam. Because my hands are full with carrying Luke, I hand Liam the keys and he opens the door to the cabin. I still can't believe that t
—Alpha Leo's POV— It took everything in me not to go over to the cabin last night and demand answers from Lena, because Zeo was right, I couldn't do anything to sabotage this. Lena was our last chance, but what if the triplets were mine, what if I was their father. I went down a rabbit hole last night, Scarlett came home drunk again and tried to start a fight and I regret to say that even though I saw it coming, I fell into her trap. We had a huge fight and I left the room and spent all day in my home office because I couldn't sleep and it wasn't because of my fight with Scarlett, no she wasn't the woman that was on my mind. It was Lena that I couldn't get off my mind and her kids, I had to know if they were mine, maybe this was the reason Scarlett and I couldn't have kids. Because I made a mistake and maybe I'm meant to be with Lena and the reason Scarlett can't get pregnant is because I already have kida out there. I stayed up all night pondering this and all
—Lena's POV— I've had a long night, I barely slept. Karla woke up screaming because she was in a new place and she was scared that she had been kidnapped, after that her brother's woke up and we had lunch and when it was time to go to bed, they all slept with me and I stayed up to watch over them. So you can only imagine after driving sic hours and barely getting any sleep, I'm really not in the mood for any confrontation today but it's just my luck that she's here today. I still don't understand how or why we look so alike, it's like looking into a mirror. The only way you'd know the difference was the scar that I had on my hand and Scarlett's hair is longer than mine, but that's it. “Scarlett, I would say it's nice to see you again but I would be lying.” I snapped at her. “How dare you talk to me like that?” She snapped back. “I apologise, I didn't get much sleep last night. To answer your question, I'm here to hopefully find a cure to the illness
—Lena's POV— “Ok then, hopefully the kid is still alive.” He says. “Yea, hopefully.” I say but I don't say what's on my mind who's is that the kid is probably dead. We continue walking and I can feel him watching me, I know he has questions but he better come out and say it because I'm not going to help him. “Can I ask you something?” He asked. “It depends.” I tell him. “On what?” He asked. “Does it have to do with work?” I asked him. “No, it doesn't.” He tells me. “Then it's my personal life then, well you can ask but I make no promises to answer.” I tell him. “It’s about your children actually, is their father in the picture?” He asked me. I knew he was going to ask me this and I already prepared an answer for him. “Yes, he is. He didn't come with us because he has a big project back at work, but he'll come visit them when he has the chance.” I tell him and the lie just slips easily off my tongue.
—Lena's POV— I held my breath, waiting for Katy to give me an answer, I really did not want to dig up a little girl, yes it was necessary but that doesn't mean that I like it. “Actually, she is, but she's unresponsive, she's in a coma, she isn't getting any better it worse.” Katy explains to me. “Ok, that's good. Can you take me to her room and I'm going to need her chart.” I tell Katy. “Of course Doctor Lena, just follow me.” Katy tells me and then me and Leo follow behind her. She takes us up some flight of stairs and we enter a room that I presume is the intensive care unit. “So all these people here are in a coma?” I asked Katy. “Yes, but none are medically induced, they all just fell into it.” Katy tells me and then we get to the end of the hall and she slides open a door where a little girl who looks no older than six or seven years old is on the bed and hooked to different machines. “Is this Brie?” I asked. “Yes, that's
—Twenty Five Years Earlier— There are two families, one a poor family and the other a rich family. The first family are the Avery's, they are a family of farmers but they are also shifters and the wife is pregnant. The second family are the Windsor's, rich, influential and also shifters, the wife is also pregnant. It's morning and the farmer is out in the field while his wife is at home, she's currently on bed rest because she's so close to her due date. “My sweet, beautiful baby, soon you'll come and join me and your father. Now we may not have much, but we have enough and we are content. I can't wait to meet you my sweet one.” Alana Avery talked to the baby in her belly. On the other side was Kate Windsor who was having not such a good pregnancy experience thanks to her husband the Alpha. “I'm telling you Kate, you've disappointed more than enough times. You're a woman and you have only one job, get pregnant and give me an heir but you can't even
—Alpha Leo's POV— “Am I wrong Leo?” She asked me and I had no words because she was right. I did choose Scarlett and Lena hadn't turned out to be the doctor, I truly don't know if I would've seemed her out to apologise. “You're right, I did choose Scarlett and in that moment all I thought about was myself and how happy I was that she was back in my life, nothing else mattered, you didn't matter. But time passed and I realised how cruel I was because you didn't deserve to be treated like that and the truth is I didn't bother to find you because I was a coward, I didn't know how you would react. But when I say I am sorry, I mean it Lena, I'm so sorry for what I did to you, for rejecting you that way and for the loss of the baby.” I tell her and I hope she can see how sincere I am. She doesn't say anything for a while, she just stares at me. “Thank you.” She says as then she continues walking which I take to mean she doesn't want to talk about this subject anymore
