Storms POV I woke up early the next morning. I smiled as I looked at Diego he had his arms wrapped around me his hair falling on his forehead. I gently brushed it off. He was in such a deep sleep. I untangled myself from him and stretched brushing the hair from my face. I looked around the hotel room in search of the phone. This place was so nice it was bound to have room service. I walked over to the desk where I spotted the phone and called down to the front desk. They transferred me to the restaurant attached and I ordered us some breakfast and coffee hoping Diego wouldn’t mind. Thirty minutes later there was a knock at our door I answered and a nice young lady walked in with a cart. “Where would you like it Miss?” She asked politely. “On the balcony please it is a beautiful morning.”“It absolutely is.” She pushed the cart opening the balcony doors and letting the warm breeze in. “You’re all set please enjoy.”“Just one moment before you go.”
A month later Diego’s POVThings were a little crazy. I was so busy spending most of my time away and figuring things out with Marley. Storm was training everyday with my warriors getting stronger and stronger. She took on her role as Luna with grace. We had plans in a week to go visit Marley he hadn’t found anything on two pure being mates but he said he could help us rein in our gifts. They were like powers after all and him being a warlock he knew a thing or two. I was currently up in my office when I got a link from one of my warriors. ‘Alpha when you get a chance you should come down here. The Luna has out powered us now. We are no longer a challenge for her.’‘Is that so?’ My curiosity was peaked. ‘She has really soaked in everything. You are the strongest of all of us. I think it could serve as her final warrior lesson.’‘Fair enough I’ll be there in 30 minutes.’I hopped up from my desk and went to the bedroom changing into work out clothes. Th
Storms POVI woke up from my nap a few hours later. The sun was setting I couldn’t believe I had slept so long. I was getting more and more tired these days. I slowly got out of the bed and made my way to the kitchen where pizza sat in the counter I opened a box and went to grab a slice when the smell hit my nose. Out of no where I found myself barfing into the nearby kitchen sink. Diego ran out of his office and came over grabbing my hair holding it out of the way. “Are you okay!?” He asked worried. “I’m fine I must be pushing myself too hard lately I’ve been so tired and now this.” I turned the water on washing the sink out and rinsing my mouth. ‘We’ve been here over a month almost two and haven’t had our period yet.’ Rain said in my head. My eyes widened. ‘No it can’t be that it’s too soon maybe we are just exhausted.’ I replied to her. Diego was looking at me even more worried he saw I was talking to Rain. My hand went to my stomach and I looked
Storms POV The next morning the first thing I did was jolt awake. I could feel the bile rising in my throat. I jumped out of the bed and ran straight to the bathroom. I heard Diego follow i must have startled him when I jumped up. He came in and held my hair just as I puked into the toilet. “I’m sorry.” I said before I puked again. “Baby don’t be sorry.” He brushed his fingers across my forehead. I wiped my mouth and sat on the floor. These pups would be the death of me. “Here’s a wet cloth.” Diego handed me a rag and I wiped my face before I wiped my mouth. I flushed the toilet and he helped me up and back into bed. He went to his closet tossing me one of his shirts which I put on. “I’m going to go make you some toast and get you a sprite. Might help settle your stomach.” I nodded and he went out. I heard him rummaging through the kitchen. He came back five minutes later with a plate of toast and a sprite. “Here you go love.” He kis
Diego’s POV It had reached the end of the week I hadn’t heard from Marley and was beginning to worry but I was trying to keep my cool. We had an appointment Monday and we’re going to do a blood draw to find out what our triplets were so we could plan for the party on Saturday next week. I was currently in my office just staring at my phone waiting and waiting. Storm was in the kitchen making lunch her belly seemed to grow daily. I jumped as my office door opened and she came in. “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scare you I made BLTs!” She came in with two plates. The sandwiches piled with bacon. Hers had extra pickles on the side. Her cravings were kicking in. “It’s okay thank you love.” I kissed her cheek as she sat my plate down. She sat across from me and dig into her pickles first devouring them. I just smiled looking at her she was so goofy. “So what’s going on today?” She asked “Have you heard from Marley?” “No not yet.” I raked my hands through my hair before I started to eat.
Storms POV I had put together a whole chicken style pot roast and put it in the oven on broil. Then I went and sat down to watch a movie or two the roast should be done by then. Diego was in his office pouring over papers. I was nervous about meeting his friend the warlock Marley. Scared of what was to come but I tried to not think about it. I touched my stomach and closed my eyes. I had life in here I had to think about them. Still surprised there were triplets but I was happy to take this journey with Diego. ‘They will be strong and powerful like us and Diego and Asher.’ Rain said to me. ‘Pure?’ I asked her. ‘I think so I can sense it.’ ‘Guess we will find out won’t we.’ I replied. ‘Do you know what we are having?’ I asked her. ‘Of course I do but you’ll just have to wait. I know you’re planning a surprise gender reveal for next weekend.’ Rain replied. ‘Oh you’re no fun.’ I mentally stuck my tongue out at her. She chuckled at me and shook her head. I rubbed my stomach and
Storms POVIt was Monday. We were currently in the pack doctors office getting blood work done and an ultrasound. “Are you guys ready to see your babies?” Doctor Greg asked. Diego and I both nodded excitedly. We were holding hands and simultaneously gave each other a squeeze. Greg put the jelly on my belly and fired the machine up. When we caught sight of our triplets it was as if they had doubled in size. My eyes grew wide. “They’re growing so fast!” I exclaimed. “Indeed. Our pregnancies are a little different then that of humans. A werewolf female is only pregnant for 6 maybe 7 months while a human female is pregnant for 9 months unless they give birth prematurely.”“Wow I should have paid more attention in sex Ed then.” I chuckled. “Me too so we are almost getting close to being half way along.” Diego said. “Yes sir. Our Luna here should have a good sized belly by the end of this week as the babies are gonna start demanding more room.”I looked at Diego. “I can’t wait. When w
Storms POV It was the day before our gender reveal party. We had sent off our invites out to our pack members and my parents they thought it was just a cool out but little did they know. I would be waiting inside until everyone arrived and then bam the big reveal. I was currently in our bathroom looking in the mirror. Doctor Greg had been right. My belly had literally sprouted right out day by day. I had a basketball under my skin at this point. I could feel the babies tossing and turning. I couldn’t wait to find out what they were. I rubbed my belly which was met with some flips and kicks. I smiled so big and closed my eyes. I suddenly felt arms wrap around me and a kiss on the back of my head. With out opening my eyes I said. “Hey baby.”“How’d you know?” Diego chuckled. “I can smell you from miles away.” I hit him playfully as I leaned back into him. He spread his hands over my belly, more kicks. I could feel him smile. “I can’t wait for tomorrow have you picked out what you’re
Jared’s POVWe made our way into the city in wanted to take her out to a nice dinner at this upscale restaurant. Its lighting was just candles that were on the tables and a couple of chandeliers. It was an old building that had been around for centuries. It drew in a lot of pack members and other supernaturals. Not many humans lingered around. I glanced over at Storm who was looking out the window trying to glimpse the scenery as the sun was setting casting many shadows. I just smiled and set my hand on her exposed knee giving it a squeeze. She looked over at me then. Her hand setting on top of mine and she leaned her head over resting it on my shoulder. “Thank you.” She said. “For what?” I asked slightly confused. “For being everything I’ve needed you to be and then some. I know we didn’t get the perfect start and that I’m used goods but-“I cut her off I wouldn’t let her finish. “First off not everything gets it’s perfect beginning or ending and second don’t ever describe yoursel
Storms POV The day was lovely. Not too hot and not too cold. I could feel the air rushing through my hair giving me new life. The boys giggled in their stroller at the birds, bees, butterflies that they saw. Just as soon as I felt at peace I heard footsteps coming quickly. My whole body tensed ready to attack but then I felt Jared’s presence. “What are you doing out here?” I wondered surprised. “I wanted to spend time with my family. With everything going on I’ve neglected it for far too long.” He then wrapped me up in his arms and buried his nose in my hair as he took a deep breath in. I felt not just mine but his tension as well leave our bodies. He let me out of his embrace and held my hand and together we pushed the stroller through the trails talking about when we were growing up, old friends, all the things we should have done so long ago but we got caught up in a whirlwind of chaos. As we ended our walk and made it back to the pack house I rested my head on Jared’s bicep.
Jared’s POVMy phone on the night stand began to buzz constantly. It pulled me out of my slumber. I fumbled for it my fingers finally making contact I looked at the screen squinting. They were messages from the main surrounding clans. They agreed to meet. Some even disclosed they had seen weird beings in red robes lurking about their territories, eyeing their pure members. Even sightings of Diego were being sent. I closed my eyes and exhaled then I peered over at Storm she was still fast asleep I gently stroked her hair for a moment. Then ventured out of bed as I heard the boys starting to coo as they were awake and screaming “dada” over and over in unison. Storm began to stir. She rolled over sleepy. “Where are you going?” She whispered. I smiled at her. “The boys.”She listened for a minute and shook her head at their dada mantra. “I’ll be there in just a second.”“Take your time.” I said and went to each of their rooms getting them out of their cribs. They began to crawl around,
Jared’s POVI had put out SOS invites to all the nearby packs hoping they would respond with urgency. I asked them to meet in two days time we would be set up in the clearing. I kept raking my hands through my hair slamming my hands on the table. I could feel the hurt and anguish pouring in from Storm. She wasn’t trying to hide it. A part of me was grateful. We had a strong bond but she was always holding a part of herself back. One I would never blame her for though. I was thinking of her and the boys. I just wanted them to be safe. So many plans and arrangements would have to be made. If they found out we had left our pack unprotected would they come back for the boys? I certainly needed help guarding everything I loved here and what was right in front of me. I couldn’t let anything happen to Storm, I would stay by her side. She was going to have to do the hardest thing ever, I most certainly don’t think I would have been able to do it. Hours went by I just sat in the office sorting
Storms POV I was tossing and turning. Dreams running through my head. Images ran past my eyes in a blur. It was as if I was spinning around and around but then my mind stopped and settled. It started out completely black but then a tiny flame popped up in the distance. I walked towards it. The closer I got the bigger and hotter the flame burned and the more I could see. The fire it climbed up a building. People that looked like shadows were running frantically trying to get away but the fire it engulfed them. Finally I could hear, people were screaming and crying. Trying to escape in every direction. I followed the lines of fire they all went back to one spot. Someone was standing there head to the sky and arms to their sides. The fire it flowed out of their body. I gasped. “Diego?”The figure whipped its head around and looked at me. It was Diego my poor Diego. His hair was out grown, his face scruffy his eyes devoid of the spark they once held. “I’m sorry I’m so sorry.” Was all t
Storms POVWe had gathered everyone in the mess hall of the pack house. They’re chatter was excruciating as it pounded in my head. I closed my eyes and touched my temples. I felt Jared move beside me before I finally called out with my Luna voice. “All of you hush!” The room quickly fell silent you could hear a pen drop. I opened my eyes and took a deep breath. “Listen I know there’s a lot of confusion going on let me explain…”Then I went on about the mysterious outsiders that had wanted Diego and I’s powers for a reason unknown. The false deal that was struck, Diego’s sacrifice. They stood in shock looking at me heads bowed joining our mourning.“What will happen now?” One of the older members asked. “Jared will resume the position of Alpha by my side until the triplets are old enough to run the pack. It is the will of the goddess…she has bound us together.” I bit my lip trying not to cry. The loss of my mate all too new to think about a new mate bond with someone else. “And wh
Jared’s POV I laid on the alphas sofa my arm over my face. I could hear Storm…my luna weeping until she could weep no more. Diego asked me to take care of her and the boys and I would do just that. But until the boys were old enough I had to take over as acting alpha…I would never be the alpha Diego was but I would do what it took to make sure this pack ran smoothly. I would make sure we would get him back. One way or another. No matter how long it took. ‘Get out of your head.’ My wolf Zeus told me. ‘We need to make sure our Luna is fed. She has damn near lost her mate. She will need us to lean on.’I nodded and sat up going to the kitchen making something small. She would need to eat and I know she didn’t have the energy but she would need to pump as well so I could feed the boys when they woke. I threw something together and walked back to the room. Her breaths were slow and quiet, she had fallen asleep. I sat the tray I was holding down on a table and softly touched her shoulder.
Diego’s POVI woke the next day to Jared storming into my office. “Alpha I’ve been trying to reach you! There’s been a border breach! They got through our defenses and they’re headed here if they haven’t gotten here yet.”I shot up and ran down the hall. The boys weren’t in their rooms. I ran to the back to our room. Storm was still asleep but I she stirred jolting up feeling my fear through the bond. I didn’t even have to say anything so looked at me and howled. “Where are my boys!? Diego where are my boys!?”“Jared send every warrior we have to the border. No one is leaving this territory. Contact the surrounding territories alert them of the situation give them the boys description. Storm my love I promise I will do everything in my power to bring our boys home.”I held her tight as she weeped into me. I gently patted her head and kissed her cheeks wiping her tears. “Jared let’s move.” I hated to leave her but there was no time to waste. We ran outside I mind linked the whole p
Storms POVWe were finally being discharged from the hospital. I was pushed out in a wheel chair carrying one of the boys in a car seat while Diego carried the other two. I could not wait to get home with them. I was so relieved. Diego put the boys in the back of a brand new SVU a gift from the pack to welcome the boys. The bases already buckled in. Then he came around and helped me up even though I didn’t need it and buckled me into the front as well. “Alright you guys take care I’ll see you in 6 weeks for a check up on you and the boys.” “Alright thank you Greg.” I replied. He nodded and we headed out. Diego put his hand on my thigh and squeezed. “Now when we get home don’t be upset.” He looked at me. “What do you mean?” I asked. “Well you know how the boys made a surprise appearance on the day of our baby shower?”“Yes?” “Well everyone’s at the house waiting for our arrival with the gifts they had for the shower…” he looked at me nervously. All though I was ready for the pe
