STEPHEN'S POV “I don't think this is a good idea,” the man said for the umpteenth time that night. I kicked my feet from where I was seated at the back of the unfamiliar car, sighing as I went through the plan in my head over and over again. Was this really worth it? “You don't think anything is a good idea, except it's yours. And yours usually suck ass, by the way,” the only woman among us scoffed, rolling her eyes. “Shut the fuck up, Denzel.”The aforementioned placed a hand on his chest, his mouth falling open as he acted offended. “I'm sorry? I have great ideas. Right, Miguel Angel?”We all turned to the guy that was seated beside me, who was quietly playing with his fingers. He visibly shrunk at the glares he received, probably wondering who he was going to please. “Y-Yes, sir…” he finally said. Denzel cheered, smiling at the female cheekily. “See? I told you. You're just a hater, Devina.”“Oh, please. He just said that because he's scared shitless,” Devina huffed, rolling h
CYRUS’ POVI yawned tiredly as the sun shone into my eyes, turning over as I felt for Baek, wanting to give her a good morning kiss.I patted the space beside, me feeling for her small frame before I groggily sat up.I sluggishly made my way to the bathroom, my feet refusing to move with each step I took as I yawned tiredly.“Darling?” I called out, peeping into the bathroom as I moved my hair out of my face.I moved to the corridors, calling out as the maids paused what they were doing briefly, giving me confused looks as I shouted out the name of my fiance.Clyde trudged out of his room, his eyes full and droopy from sleep.“What's going o…on?” He asked, yawning as he walked toward me, hands deep in his pocket as he leaned onto the wall, closing his eyes again.He never was a morning person.“Do you know where Baek is?” I asked, worry seeping into my tone as I craned my neck around his slender frame, his caramel scent gently wafting into my nose as he mumbled in his sleep.“Clyde!”
CYRUS’ POV My head was hurting, and I could feel the familiar process of a vision coming in as I struggled to hold myself upright. But it felt different, as if it was some sort of advanced form of a vision and a mind link combined together. “Stephen,” I called out, unsure if it was really him. “Cyrus, listen to me, I don't have much time. Listen closely, she's somewhere in the forest; close to the border. I don't exactly know where because we moved her two nights ago.”He continued, “She's alive for now but they plan to kill her and Cynthia soon, so you have to hurry.”“Stephen,” I called out as he was sucked out of the dark room, my head spinning as I re-appeared in the sitting room.I shook my head as I looked up at Clyde and Natalia, their faces mirroring worry as they stared at me.“What was that?” They chorused, rushing to my side.“Stephen mind linked me…I think. It was different, and not like how it usually is. I'm not sure.” I nipped at my bottom lip, my eyebrows furrowed i

He stood tall and proud at the altar, looking breathtakingly handsome.

His black hair was swept back, revealing his strong, chiseled features and those mesmerizing grey eyes that seemed to see right through to my soul.As I took in every detail of his appearance, my gaze lingered on the scar that stretched across his nose and above his mouth. It was a reminder of the battles he had fought, the trials he had overcome.

Baelakis POV I awoke to the soft light filtering through the curtains, casting a gentle glow over the room. The memories of last night flooded back to me, the passion and love we had shared as husband and wife. Naked and cocooned in Cyrus' arms, I felt a sense of completeness wash over me.Gazing up at his sleeping face, so serene and handsome, a smile tugged at the corners of my lips. Carefully, I traced the lines of his cheek, savoring the feel of his stubble against my fingertips. Running my fingers through his thick hair, I marveled at the way he looked so peaceful in his sleep.Suddenly, Cyrus's gray eyes blinked open, locking with mine in a moment of pure connection.

Baelakis POV I lay on the bed, my world painted in monochrome as the sound of raindrops splattered against the zinc roof above us. The steady hum of the heater and my whimpers of agony filled the room. Wave after wave of contractions crashed down upon me, the mind-numbing pain making it difficult for me to differentiate the walls from the ceiling.Cyrus fixated his gaze on the clock, trying not to panic as he withstood my grunts. He held my hand, letting my grip tighten as the pain grew more and more intense. I felt helpless, only being able to hold onto him as my body betrayed me.He wiped my forehead with a cool towel, following the guidance of one of the nurses who was tending to us. I flinched and recoiled at the change of temperature, causing Cyrus to remove the cloth quickly. He looked towards the nurse for help as I writhed beneath him."It h-hurts," I whispered breathlessly, my face scrunching in discomfort as my uterine muscles tightened. My nails dug into the back of Cyrus's
Baelakis POV The following day, after a flurry of well-wishes and a final check-up from the doctor, I was discharged from the hospital, ready to return home with Cyrus and our twins. Though I was eager to introduce our babies to the pack, exhaustion weighed heavily on my limbs as we made our way to the car, the twins snuggled securely in their car seats.Cyrus, ever attentive, helped me settle into the passenger seat before taking the wheel, casting a worried glance in my direction. "Are you alright, love?" he asked, concern etched on his face.I offered him a reassuring smile, despite the weariness that seeped into my voice. "Just tired," I admitted. "But I'm looking forward to bringing the twins home."The drive back to the pack house was filled with quiet conversation, Cyrus and I discussing the adjustments we'd need to make as new parents and the joy that awaited us as we watched our children grow.Upon our arrival, we were greeted by the members of Cyrus's pack, their faces aligh
