Catherine's POV
''Do you know where to get it?'' He asked, ''Yeah.'' I said and pointed in the direction of the drink stand. ''And I have some cash on me.'' I added and made my way to the drink stand. I walked past different cars and finally got to the drink stand. ''Good evening, can I get three bottles of coke.''? I asked the attendant, who nodded his head and went for the drinks. I stood there and watched him bring out the bottles of Coke from the fridge and placed it on the counter. ''five dollars.'' He said, ''I'll pay for it.'' Someone spoke from behind, which made me turn around and met a good-looking young guy who should be in his early twenties, glaring at me. He has short black hair that was gelled and combed backward, fascinating sea blue eyes, pointed nose and small lips. ''Are you done checking me out?" He teased while I scoffed and looked away. ''Greetings.'' The attendant greeted the young man while he lowered his head with respect. I'll pay for her drinks.'' He said again, while I shook my head in disapproval. ''Thanks, but that won't be necessary.'' I said in a polite manner. ''Really?'' He mocked and took a step closer while he sniffles deeply. ''Human!'' He said with a mockery laugh, ''Weak but always acting tough.'' He mocked again while I stood there furious at his words. ''With all due respect, humans are not weak.'' I spoke, angered by his attitude. ''Really…'' He took another step closer, that we were just an inch apart. ''I believe you are new in this town and so you don't know who I am.'' He said boastfully. I moved my gaze on him, wondering who he was, because I knew he was definitely not one of the alphas. ''Listen, I don't want any problem.'' I turned around and dropped the cash on the counter while I picked up the bottles of Coke from the counter.I turned around and was about to leave, but he grabbed me by the arm and pulled me to himself, ''You are new here, so I will overlook this attitude of yours.'' He said and forcefully let go of my arm. With stunned eyes, I held his gaze, but decided to stay out of trouble. Sucking in a deep breath, I walked away and made my way back to the truck, only to bump into a hard, firm chest. ''Ahh.'' I exclaimed and raised my gaze only to meet eyes with a familiar set of green piercing eyes. ''You…'' I blurted out, shocked. He was putting on a red face cap that covered his face, but I quickly recognized him by his eyes. ''You again.'' He said with a soft chuckle, adding to his deep husky voice. ''Are you okay?'' He asked while I gulped and nodded my head as a response.'' Seems you are new here.'' He expressed those words not as a question, while I just nodded my head as a response when I realized I have lost my voice.We held each other's gaze for a moment until I spoke up, ''I didn't get the chance to thank you earlier today.'' I said while he responded with a blank look on his face. ''Thanks for…'' He didn't let me finish before he cut me off, ''It's nothing, I have to go…'' He spoke in a hurry and walked past me. I wanted to turn around and look where he was heading to, but I decided to move on. I got to the truck and sat in my position. ''What took you so long?'' Lucas asked, ''I was making new friends.'' I lied and handed Sandra and Lucas their bottle of drinks.'' The movie is about to start.'' Lucas announced, which forced my attention to the big projector screen In front of us. Lucas spread the blanket on our bodies which covered from our laps downward, as we got ready for the movie to start.'' What kind of movie are they showing.'' I asked while going for the ticket, ''It's a movie titled Flipped.'' Lucas responded before I could look through my ticket. ''Sound interesting.'' I said and relaxed my back on the truck while I focused my gaze on the big projector.Everywhere became silent as everyone turned off the light of their cars, which made the place dark except for the light from the big screen projector. The movie began and everyone's attention was fixed on the screen as the movie went on. A few minutes into the movie, Sandra spoke up, ''Alpha Darin is here.'' She said, ''Really, where is he?'' Lucas asked while looking around. ''Somewhere around, I could just feel his presence.'' She said and threw some popcorn into her mouth while her gaze were fixed on the screen.'' But what will he be doing here?'' Lucas asked, while I scoffed and said, ''Probably to watch the movie.'' I replied, ''You don't get it, they don't usually come out to functions like this.'' He explained while I shrugged my shoulders and took a sip of my drink, ''Maybe he decided to take a fresh air.'' I said and fixed my gaze on the screen.We all watched the movie in total silence for the duration of an hour plus before it came to an end.'' The girl made the right decision.'' I said with a soft sigh and took the last sip of my drink. ''Next movie starts in the next ten minutes, but before then I'll go refill our popcorn and get some drinks.'' Lucas said and left the truck, leaving me with Sandra.''Do you have a boyfriend?'' She asked the moment Lucas was gone. ''No, why do you ask.'' I asked while holding her gaze, but she didn't say a word, rather she shook her head and emptied her drink into her mouth. ''Seems you are a seer, did you see something that I need to know?'' I asked curious because obviously, she saw something that has to do with me. ''I saw nothing.'' She lied, but I wasn't going to beg or pressurize her, ''Suit yourself.'' I said and looked away. I moved my gaze around and noticed couples wriggling around each other romantically, which tore my heart, knowing I don't know how it feels to be loved by a man. Sighing heavily, I removed the blanket from my body and turned to Sandra's direction. ''Where is the restroom?'' I asked, ''Over there.'' She responded and pointed out a direction to me. ''Thanks.'' I said and climbed down the truck. I followed the direction Sandra pointed to me and was almost at the door of the restroom when a strong grip held me by the arm and turned me around. ''Hello little kitten.'' The stranger said with an evil grin on his face.Epilogue (24 years later) "When are they coming?" Catherine asked Theo and Leo, who shrugged their shoulders. "The driver has already gone to pick them up, Mother," Theo and Leo responded with a grunt. They were already growing annoyed and frustrated with how eager their mother was to see their younger brother and his supposed fiancée."You two don't seem happy to meet her," Catherine spoke, and they both rolled their eyes before Leo responded. "There is nothing to be excited about, Mother. We are twenty-eight years old and haven't found our mates. There is nothing to be happy about," he spoke out frustrated, while his mother gave him a pitiful look. She knew the pain of her two sons not finding their mates, and since they had just become Alphas, they really wanted to have their mates with them."Where are Fathers?" Leo asked. "They will join us soon," she responded while taking a deep breath. "But we should be happy for your younger brother. He has found a girl he truly loves and wis
Four years later “Give me that Leo, Theo.” Catherine shouted as she ran at the two boys, who were incredibly fast for their age. Filled with sweat, she raced them down the stairs as the two boys giggled happily and sped down the stairs. They got to the sitting room, and just then Alpha Darin and Darwin walked through the entrance door. “Fathers!” The little boys screamed and hugged their fathers. “What are you champs up to?” Alpha Darin asked as he ruffled the hair of the two boys.“Thank God you are here, these boys took my comb and ran away with it.” Catherine grumbled as she reached where they stood with panting breath. “We wanted to help with combing her hair, but she refused.” Theo responded with a pout. “So we had to run away with her comb.” Leo added, and both alphas laughed at the mischievousness of their sons. “It’s not funny.” Catherine rolled her eyes, faking anger, while Alpha Darwin grinned and placed a quick kiss on her lips. “This is just the beginning.” He teased, and
Three months later…Catherine was in her room, sleeping, when she felt kisses on her face, and she opened her eyes. Seeing that it was Alpha Darwin, she revealed a sweet smile and covered her face as she yawned. “Yawning beauty, it's your birthday!” Alpha Darwin reminded her, and she giggled. “Happy birthday, angel,” he added, making her blush. She sat up in bed and hugged him. “Thank you very much,” she said as she broke the hug, but Alpha Darwin pulled her in and kissed her forehead. “My pleasure,” he replied.Catherine looked around the room. “Where is Darin?” she asked.Alpha Darwin smiled. “He's around the corner. He is coming,” he replied as he pulled away and looked at her face. “Here, I brought you a gift,” he said and picked a small box from his pocket, which he handed to her with a smile on his face. Catherine collected the box from him, opened it, and gasped! She had to wipe her eyes to look at the gift that was inside the box again, and she was flabbergasted. “This… It's a
Alpha Darin and Alpha Darwin walked toward Catherine with excitement in their eyes. The fears in their hearts had completely evaporated away, and all that remained was their joy as they stared at the exhausted but excited Catherine. "The babies are fine," Catherine mumbled, brimming with relief and joy as she opened her eyes to look at Alpha Darin and Alpha Darwin. "Look, the twins are fine. They came out well," she said, pointing to her children, who were in the arms of a maid and the healer. Her excitement knew no bounds, and she couldn't stop smiling.Alpha Darwin collected the baby in the hand of the maid, while Alpha Darin collected the one in the hand of the healer, and they both smiled at each other. Hearing the cries of the babies made their hearts race, and they felt like the cries were their favorite songs. Their happiness was just indescribable, and their smiles could not wane. "The babies... They are identical," Alpha Darwin said as he looked at the baby in his arms and the
Two months later...Catherine was in her room; she had just taken her bath and was combing her hair while sitting in front of her mirror. She was humming gently to herself until she felt a presence in the room. Turning her head, a smile appeared on her face when she saw it was Alpha Darin and Alpha Darwin. They walked toward her; Alpha Darin took the brush from her and started combing her hair, while Alpha Darwin stood beside her, gently massaging her shoulder."You two look worried. What's going on?" Catherine asked when she saw the look on Alpha Darin and Alpha Darwin's faces. She knew something was wrong and worried that it might be related to a war, which she feared so much. "You can tell me anything," she added when she realized they were hesitating.Alpha Darwin sighed. "You know the pregnancy is six months now, and in a month, you could give birth. Don't you think it's time to mark you?" He asked, and Catherine's eyes widened. She turned to look at Alpha Darin and Alpha Darwin,
Alpha Darin’s POV I walked down the stairs with various thoughts in my mind. My feelings were complicated, and I had no way to resolve them. "Where are you going, Darin?" Darwin asked when he noticed me, snapping me out of my thoughts, and I looked at him. "What?" I asked with a raised brow. "I asked where you are going," he repeated. The truth was that his question registered, but I was too lost to figure it out.I sighed and replied, "I want to go and see Anabella in the dungeon." I saw him frown and ask, "Anabella in the dungeon? Why do you want to do that?" I shrugged, "I just feel like seeing her. I want to see her..." I mumbled, doubting my own words. I had no idea why I felt like seeing her when she had already caused so much trouble.Darwin seemed confused too and stood up. He walked toward me, standing in front of me. "Her trial is in a few minutes from now. Why don't you wait till then?" Darwin suggested, but I shook my head. "I don't want to wait. I want to see her before t
