Sarah pov Perhaps I never thought I could have enough power to shut up an Alpha, but apparently, I do. Lazarus stares at me in pure shock, and quite frankly, I’m enjoying the view. Alpha men always seemed like these big, bad, aggressive shifters to me, but the more I get to know the triplets, the more I understand how alike other shifters they are. Sure, sometimes they act like a bunch of morons, but at the end of the day, they’re the same as the rest of us. “You’re joking, right?” He finally blurts out, and I barely hold back the laughter. God, I so want to laugh at his face right now. “No,” I shake my head just to imply how serious I am. “I’m ready.” Truth to be told, I’ve been ready for a while. Way before we found out about the baby and decided that living together would be the best option. I didn’t need to get pregnant to be sure that I want to spend the rest of my days with these men. Lazarus, Luka, and Lenox managed to prove to me how wonderful it can be to have so
Seth povThe call from Sarah is unsettling, to say the least. I know she has more to say, protests to come, but I end the call before she can try to stop me from doing what has to be done. All four of my men stand close, worry crossing their features. I turn to Luciano, “You need to get Than here, like yesterday,” I blurt out, thinking about anything that might be wrong with Sarah.There are many possibilities, and some outcomes are what I fear. Those are the things I don’t wish upon any woman, regardless of how much I like or dislike her. Remembering my own experience, I shiver. “What? Why? And how am I supposed to pull a damn demon from Hell or Gardens of Evil all of a sudden?” Luciano asks. I see that he feels uneasy, but this isn’t the moment we can joke around. And then, the realisation hits me. Shoot, I’m supposed to tell them what’s happening. “Do your voodoo demon summoning dance; the fuck if I care, just do it! Sarah needs him!” I force the words through gritted teeth as
Lazarus povI mingle with my brothers in the kitchen, mainly for the sake of peace. All of us have to understand that Sarah needs time on her own, regardless of our wishes at times. As odd as it feels to admit this, so far, Lenox seems to be the only one who understands that. Which is more than just fucking weird because once mom calls him, my brother goes off on a rant about aliens and butt stuff.Then, Lenox drops his phone and takes off. At first, Luka and I exchange glances, both visibly confused about his behaviour, but once we hear his heavy footsteps lead up the stairs, our eyes widen, and we run after him. Whatever happened, it has to be connected to Sarah because there’s no other way he’d move so fast for anyone else. As expected, sadly, once we get to the bedroom door, Lenox already drops to his knees and pulls unconscious Sarah on his lap. He tries to gently slap her cheeks as he screams, “Baby, wake up! What’s wrong with you? Who fucking did this to you?” Luka and I s
Sarah pov I feel like there’s a weight on my chest, and my head pounds worse than ever before. I force my eyes open, and the bright light instantly stings so bad that tears well up in my eyes. Blinking doesn’t help much, but I keep trying because there’s no way I’ll sleep before I find out where I am. This isn’t our bedroom. The last thing I remember is the intense pain, and then, there was darkness. Once I manage to get back to my senses, more or less, I look around. A loud, frustrated groan leaves my lips. Hospital. God damn it, I just returned from the hospital, and definitely don’t need a visit of my own. If there is one place I truly can’t stand, it’s the darn hospital. Everything about the setting makes my stomach twist and turn. The beeping sound, the vires, needles and damn, that stench. I freaking hate all of this. On the bright side, I’m still alive. I think. A warm hand grabs mine before I notice that I’m not alone, and once the voice reaches me, I want to l
Than pov I feel like the most loved and cared-for outsider the world has seen. I’m not a part of this family. By all means, I don’t fit in, don’t belong, and the only reason why I’m around is that my daughter found shelter inside one of the triplets. Yet, despite all that, somehow, the family acts as if I’m close to them. As if I should feel like an official part of their happiness. Somewhere along the way, I gained the best friend I’ve ever had and developed feelings for his wife. Seth is the most stunning woman I’ve had the honour to meet. She reminds me of the spitfires down in hell, as sarcastic and feisty, yet I could stare at her for centuries without getting bored. Something about her pulls me in so strongly that I’m not sure I want to ever look away. But how would I tell this to my friend? Hey, buddy, I didn’t intend for this to happen, but like the creep, I come across as I fell for your wife. You know, since she already has four husbands, maybe she wants an upgrade a
Lenox povA demonic baby, how fucking cool is that? While everyone in my family keeps fussing around about how unreal this situation seems, all I can do is grin as if someone just tossed me the winning lottery ticket. A demon for a child. A demon for a child I’m naming Optimus Prime Megatron if I get my hands on any legal paperwork. Hell, this feels better than any emotion I’ve ever felt before. Can anyone imagine how cool is this? Beyond any limit of cool I could imagine. I hope she gets a fire breath or some sick superpower to burn off the asses of the toddlers who give her a hard time. Just imagining the things my child and I could do in our free time excites me, and I can’t think of anything but the day my little monster will tear up her mother’s vagina to get into this world. I need to make a mental note that the tearing situation might happen, and I better assure Sarah she’s going to be okay after it. The doctors will stitch her up, I’ll get the best painkillers available e
Luka povWhen Laz and I step into Sarah’s hospital room, she’s already wide awake, grinning at our mom. My heart skips a beat at the sight before us. Not only the adoration in the eyes of the women I love the most but I’m taken aback by how much at ease Sarah appears. Her cheeks are slightly flushed, so I assume they were sharing some secrets or spent the time laughing at their weird jokes. However, despite the cheerful energy that surrounds them, I can’t help but feel a little suspicious. As they smile at us, I notice how the smiles don’t reach their eyes and it’s all the confirmation I need to accept that something’s wrong. Not only wrong but they’re also trying to hide it from us. Whatever it is, I’ll figure it out sooner or later, because just like Sarah said- if we want this to work, we must remember how important communication is. Sucking in a deep breath, I brace myself for the possible backlash but still go with the initial plan and dive right in, “What’s wrong?”Sarah a
Lazarus pov“Kill the baby?” The question leaves my lips before I can stop it. I didn’t intend to be so straightforward or come across as a complete asshole, but sometimes, even if I try my darndest, I can’t stop myself from saying some things. All eyes in the room focus on me. I guess saying something in the lines as Sarah did, the fancy wording of termination and all, seems more humane than the actual truth. All things aside, that’s exactly what she’s saying. She is planning to kill the baby. I raise my hands and shake my head. “We need to discuss this. All of us. Just think of the possible consequences and the reaction Lenox will have to these news. Like it or not, he’s the biological father of that child, and he has a say too. Yes, it’s your body and your choice, but thus far, I haven’t heard anything from you that implied that you didn’t want this baby. In fact, you appear to be rather happy about the possibility of becoming a mother.”Everyone in the room sits silent. Sarah
