Carson's POVCameroon and I chased after Cecilia's killer. He was fast, agile, and remarkably skilled at evasion. Just as my hands dove to catch him, he leaped over a massive log, and I ended up crushing an unfortunate firefly instead. I tossed it away in frustration.Cameroon lagged behind me, making me wish Cadel were here to assist in the chase. As we tore through the forest, which grew steeper with every step, the killer only seemed to get faster. We approached a particularly treacherous section of the forest, where he slid down a slope and pulled a lever. Suddenly, pairs of spears shot out, several piercing my body.“Argh, damn it, it hurts,” I yelled.“Whoa, whoa, whoa, careful!” Cameroon sang the last word, spreading out his arms to balance himself as he screeched to an emergency stop.I scanned the slope, but the killer had vanished after triggering his trap.“Wolfsbane,” I groaned. “The spears—”“It’s okay, I got you. I got you.” Cameroon pulled me back. “We need to head back
Carson's POV:We moved swiftly through the pack house grounds, slipping back into the dense forest where the killer had disappeared. The night air was cool, and the scent of wet wood and damp earth filled my nostrils. Each step sent jolts of pain through my body, but I gritted my teeth and pushed on."Where did you last see him?" Collins asked, his voice low but urgent.I pointed towards the slope where the spears had shot out. "Down there. He triggered the trap and vanished."Cameroon led the way, carefully going down the slope and each of us descended after him. As we reached the bottom, I paused, sniffing the air."He's close. I can still smell him," I said, my voice a growl.“Isn't that strange?” Collins mused.“What is?” I asked. “If I killed my Luna, I wouldn't be lurking around still,” Collins said, with a thoughtful expression. “What if we are working into a trap?”Pausing briefly, I replied, “Well we outnumber him five to one. I say we get this son of a bitch, regardless.”W
Anna's POV:Inside the Alpha quarters, in the confines of the large living room, only three of us remained: Nicole, Lucas, and me. We hoped those who went after Cecilia's killer would return any moment, having faced little challenge in capturing him. But we were wrong. A primal roar shattered the silence around us twice. Nicole stood up abruptly. “That must be Bryan.”I joined her. “He's calling for his pack.”“What could have possibly gone wrong?” Lucas asked as he rose too."Let's go after them!" I declared.Lucas nodded, and we left the house, heading towards the forest. As we went after Bryan and the others, more pack members joined us, all responding to the Alpha's call. As we reached the edge of the forest, the scene before us made my blood run cold. Bodies lay strewn across the ground, the metallic scent of blood mixing with the earthy smell of the forest. The moon cast an eerie light over the carnage, illuminating the torn remains and the still forms of bodies.Nicole gaspe
Epilogue Anna’s POV: We were married for two and a half years. I lived with the brothers and our kids in one house, while Nicole and Lucas had their own homes nearby. I had a son with Cadel, a daughter with Cameroon, and was expecting a baby with Carson. But when the time came for the baby to arrive, something went wrong. The brothers waited outside the medical center, worried. Carson, especially, looked really concerned. An hour later, we got the sad news that the baby didn't make it. Carson couldn't hold back his pain and let out a howl of sorrow. Carson was devastated for months after we lost the baby. Cadel and Cameroon allowed us the time and space to heal. They didn't mind that I was spending more time with Carson than them. They didn't even mind that they had to look after the kids most of the time. Nicole did help us out a lot with looking after her nephew and niece. Slowly, Carson and I found comfort in each other's company. After a while, our intimacy rekindled,
Anna pov“Please help me!” I cried, sobbing profusely as I walked into the hospital strolling behind the stroller that carried my father. “Where’s the doctor?” One of the four men by either sides of my father questioned the first nurse that had rushed up to them. “Most of the doctors are already in the surgical room. I’m afraid we do not have any available doctors”While the nurse and the men contemplated on how to save my father’s life, I couldn’t help but shiver in fear and imagine the worst to come. “This is all my fault” I mutter over and over again as tears rolled down my cheeks, convincing myself that my father was dying because of me. And why should I not? My mother had died during childbirth while bringing me into this world. I was too big that I’d occupied a lot of space in her womb. When I, Anna Marion; a sleezy, worthless omega was born, my mother breathed her last. Father had always hated me ever since then.And to be honest, I couldn’t blame him either. I equally ha
Cadel pov “Good work, everyone” I said with a smile greeting the nurses around me as we stepped out of the operating room; Another successful operation. I thought with smile spread across my face. “Doctor, this is bad” One of the nurses says rushing up to me. The way her voice shaked, the evident trembling in her vocal cords made me know that this wasn’t a little issue at hand. “What is it?”“A patient was brought in earlier and now…”“And now?”“He just passed away. His daughter can’t stop crying”“What do you mean, he passed away?” I’d questioned, wide-eyed. “Didn’t any of the doctors attend to him?”The nurse shook her head. “All the doctors were performing a surgery”“Take me to the patient”. The nurse nodded her head as she rushed up to the reception, whilst I followed suite behind her. As we neared the reception, my senses heightened as my nose began to tingle. ‘What is this?’ I thought as the most enticing, sweet scent I could ever perceive began to fill my nose. I craved
Cameron pov “MATE!” Killian, my wolf screamed. “What do you mean Killian?” I questioned.“MATE! She’s our mate!” Killian repeated. The conviction made me echo my thoughts. “She’s my mate”“No, she’s my mate!” Carson counter attacked. While I so desperately wanted to get in a fight with Carson if he was pulling my legs; I noticed Cadel stood in his tracks as silent as ever. “She’s your mate too, isn’t she?” I state as a matter of fact rather than a question. From the way he didn’t respond, my thoughts were confirmed. How was my brother’s mate mine? What was the moon goddess planning?. It wasn’t something unusual nor was it something unheard of. As triplets, it was only normal we shared the same destiny but this, this was unacceptable.I pulled Cadel and Carson to the side. “What should we do?”“I’m not giving her up” Cadel replied strongly. It wasn’t as though he was selfish, his reason was completely understandable. While Carson and I were given mates; although we’d rejected the
Cadel povI breathed out as soon as I got to the hospital. The one place where I got to work and not overthink, the right place I needed to just now. To my greatest surprise, I caught my mind wandering around. My thoughts were ceaselessly going back to what just happened at the pack, a new feeling of anger overwhelmed me again."What is wrong with Carson?!" I slammed a desk beside me, attracting the attention of some nurses around.They looked at me and wondered if I was crazy. At this point I didn't care about them, I just left them confused.I sat on the bench outside and it reminded me of Anne. How we sat on this very bench, how I met her, the feeling I got when I realized she was my mate. That was the best feeling ever. And now Carson wants to take that away from me. I balled my fist as anger struck me once more."I'll fight for her," I mumbled.I grabbed my lab coat and rushed back to the pack. Aside from being very unproductive at the hospital, there were no patients in need of
