Henri is back! What do you guys think is the difference between the two Alphas?
Karyna’s POV I’ve thought so hard about it. But I still couldn't decide who I wanted to mark me first. I wanted both of them to mark me at the same time, but Julian wouldn't agree. He said it would hurt me more. So now, I had to decide. And I honestly have no idea how to go about this at all. I didn't want to pick between them. It was too hard to choose. Then as I moved towards Henri, a solution appeared in my mind. “Alright,” I clapped my hands together, drawing their attention. “I want us to play a naughty game,” Julian nodded immediately, a huge grin spreading across his lips. “I'm interested, baby.” “You don't even know what type of game it is,” I replied, rolling my eyes at his eagerness. “You said a naughty game?” he muttered, winking. His playful nature was unmistakable. ”Yes, it's a naughty game, and we will have a lot of fun.” I beamed, imagining the chase. “We'll go to the beach, and I will run. Whoever catches me gets to mark me while the other watches.
Julian’s POV From a distance, I watched as Karyna's graceful stride faltered, her hips swaying unsteadily before collapsing onto the sand. I frowned, this was the second time she had fallen down. Panic surged through me, and I sprinted towards her without another thought. My heart pounded in my chest when she didn't stand up like the first time. I cursed the distance between us, increasing my speed. But before I could reach her, Henri was already by her side. My breath caught in my throat when I saw Karyna’s unconscious figure in Henri’s arms. “What the hell? What happened?” I questioned, my brows pinched up in worry as I looked down at her unmoving form. “I think she fainted,” Henri explained, his voice conveying anxiety as well. “Fuck, why is she fainting so frequently?” I grunted to myself, but Henri caught it. “Frequently?” He asked, a huge disapproving scowl on his face. “When was the last time she fainted?” I scratched my neck awkwardly, looking down at Ka
Henri’s POVI scooped a spoonful of porridge that I ordered from the kitchen and fed it to Karyna. I had to wear the skin mask to do that after Julian left the resort as me.Karyna didn't know what to eat, but I insisted that she had to put something in her stomach. She was nearly half the bowl down, when she shook her head, avoiding the spoon. “I’m full,” she protested and I dropped the bowl down on the nightstand.“Are you sure that you’re okay?” I pressed on again.“Yeah, I‘m fine,” she replied, looking at me in assurance. “Julian has been out for an awful long time now. Are you sure that he’ll be alright? I’m worried,”“He’ll be fine. If there’s anything wrong, he’ll call me. I don’t worry.” Karyna bit her lip and looked at me through her eyelashes, looking fidgety. I could tell that she had something to say, but didn’t know how to approach it.But I wasn’t going to press her for it.Instead, I began to clean up and set the bowl on the tray so that the maid could come and take i
Karyna’s POV“You fucking turned her?!” The sound of Julian yelling jolted me up from my slumber, and I had to look around to get a proper grasp of my surroundings.He stood before us, his hand tightly gripping a white bag. His expression was a mud of anger and disbelief, and his fists were clenched so tightly, I could see the veins ripple and bulge.I was wondering what got him so furious until I remembered what Henri and I were doing in his absence. My neck stung in remembrance of the feeling as Henri plunged his fangs into them.I looked over to him and saw him sitting up beside me, his expression blank, but I could see the guilt swirling in his eyes despite that. “Yes, I did,” Henri replied to Julian's initial question, his voice equally as dull as he looked.And that seemed to enrage his twin. “Why didn't you wait for me?!” Julian's voice reverberated with frustration, his eyes burning with anger. “I went to the fucking store, and you couldn't even wait an hour?! You were the
Julian’s POV I was so overcome with grief at the news, that my tongue felt heavy in my mouth, making it unable for me to speak. If only I wasn’t so angry and jealous, this wouldn’t have happened. She wouldn’t have had to run after me, to try to apologize. I was consumed with regret, it was choking. I wanted to turn back time, I wanted to do everything I could to prevent this tragedy from happening but it already happened and it hurt so much. “Um, doctor?” I rasped, my voice sounding foreign to me now. “Can I speak to you outside?” I asked, and she nodded. I wanted to speak to her privately so that Karyna wouldn’t hear more of this anymore. She had already suffered so much already. Henri followed quietly behind us, his real expression obscured by the skin mask he was wearing. “How soon must the surgery be?” I asked once we were outside. “As soon as possible, I’m afraid,” she started, her voice solemn. “I know that it’s sudden, but we’ll have to take the dead fetus out to avoid
Henri’s POVTwo weeks had passed since Karyna lost one of her babies. As we learned, she was two months pregnant with twins.The unfortunate incident had been very heart-wrenching, the grief lingering like a shadow over our lives. None of it felt real to me. It was as if I were trapped in some surreal nightmare from which I couldn’t wake. But I could vividly remember the ultrasound the doctor had taken of her existing fetus after the surgery.When I saw that tiny thing growing in her womb, the way it was curved- it had a little space beside it, where its twin was supposed to be. The sight of it, so small, lonely, and fragile, shattered my heart into a million pieces.Maybe it was because I was a twin myself, and the bond I had with Julian was unbreakable despite our ups and downs. I knew the loss of the other baby affected him as much as it did for me.I couldn’t also rid myself of all the memories of Karyna crying her heart out this past week. The sounds of sorrowful cries would
Julian’s POV I went out in Henri’s car, wearing the skin mask, and driving off, to get a custom-made choker I ordered for Karyna, and to fill up the car with enough gas since it was the form of transportation. We had other means of transportation on the beach, a Yacht, inherited from our Dad, and two boats. I got them for Henri and myself. We hadn't even had the luxury of enjoying any of this because our lives were plunged into misery. Ryder had recently discovered an organization made up of rogues, and I believed they might be involved in Adrian’s death because of how powerful their connection was. Their estate was stationed in White Plain, not too far from New York and Chappaqua. It contained only strong werewolves, and their goal was to get rid of all Alphas, as well as any powerful werewolf who wasn't a member of their group. They intend to leave our race with no Alpha to rule it, making all of us rogues. With no leadership system, or where to run to, the werewolves woul
Karyna’s POV I woke up feeling drained and directionless. I didn’t feel the need to get out of my bed or do anything. I’ve been feeling like this since I lost one of my babies. I wished it was all a bad dream, but unfortunately, it wasn't, and I couldn't do anything about it. Julian and Henri have been pampering me severely, walking on eggshells around me. At any other time, I might have welcomed the attention they showered upon me, but now, it only felt suffocating. I craved solitude. I wanted to be alone, underwater. Being underwater was so relieving. It made me feel like none of this was real, and I could let go of my fears, but I always ended up drowning. I couldn't count how many times the twins had saved me from getting swept away by the sea. I've come to realize that the more I dwelled on my loss, the deeper I sank into despair. Tears began to fall from my eyes as I recalled the days I'd spent crying and living melancholy. I tried to move on. I really did. But i
