“Keira! Kelvin! Kelsey!”

Georgia’s voice cracked against the night air as she ran through the stone-paved paths of the grand palace garden, her bare feet slapping against the cold ground. Her heart thundered in her chest as her eyes darted in every direction.

“Babies, where are you?!”

Her breath was shaky, fogging in front of her in the cool breeze. Moonlight danced on the leaves, but it offered no comfort. Every shadow made her chest tighten. Every silence made her ears ring louder.

She pushed through hedges, not caring about the scratches on her arms. The palace guards had told her they last saw the children near the back entrance, but there was no trace of them. Not a sound. Not even the rustle of tiny feet.

Tears brimmed in her eyes, but she blinked them back.

You can’t cry now. You have to find them.

They’re just kids... your babies.

“I shouldn’t have brought them here…” she whispered to herself, her voice laced with guilt. “They don’t deserve this... not to be shouted at like th

  • PREGNANT AND REJECTED: RETURN WITH THE TRIPLETS    chapter 49

    Chapter 49The garden was quiet. Too quiet. Only the soft rustle of leaves and the sniffles of the children broke the silence. Georgia clutched Keira tightly, her chest rising and falling fast. Jared stood a few feet away, his eyes still fixed on the little girl who had clung to him moments ago. Something in his gaze… something deep and unreadable.Keira tugged at Georgia’s sleeve. “Mommy… is he mad?”Georgia looked down quickly. “No, baby. No one’s mad.”Kelsey looked up from hugging his sister. “He looks mad.”Jared blinked, finally stepping forward. “I’m not mad,” he said, kneeling slowly so he was level with them. “I just… didn’t know.”Georgia swallowed hard. “Jared…”He looked up at her. “They’re yours?”She hesitated… then nodded, whispering, “Yes. They’re mine.”All three children looked between them, confused but quiet.Jared’s brows drew together. “All three?”“Yes,” she whispered. “Triplets.”Jared stood a few paces away, his gaze fixed on the family before him. His

    Chapter 50: "Who's there?" Jared's voice sliced through the night like a blade, sharp and commanding.Georgia clutched her children close as the shadows shifted behind the hedges. Her heart pounded.Then"It’s me. Caleb."The voice was low, familiar. Jared’s muscles stiffened. His grip on Georgia tightened protectively, the air thick with tension. He stepped forward, positioning himself like a human shield between his family and the shadowy figure.Then the figure stepped into the moonlight.Caleb.Jared's eyes blazed, his jaw clenched tight. "You’ve got some nerve showing your face here," he growled, each word cutting like glass.Caleb opened his mouth to speak, but Jared wasn’t done."You scared the hell out of them!" His voice was low but lethal. "Do you even realize what you’ve done?"He stepped closer, fury radiating off him. Georgia instinctively pulled the kids behind her, sensing the storm between the two men."Keira" Jared’s voice cracked, then rose again, hard and furious,

    "I'm not mad at you," Jared said, his voice barely a whisper before the words faded into silence, leaving behind only the weight of everything unspoken. He stood there like a statue, carved from pain and revelation. The garden’s soft hum, the rustling of leaves, the distant chirping of night insects, the children’s playful laughter, all of it seemed to fade away, drowned out by the raging storm that had erupted inside him.Georgia stood before him, trembling. She had never seen him like this before. His presence, once so confident and full of life, now felt shattered, like something irreparable. The calmness in his voice didn’t match the turmoil that swirled in his eyes. He was lost in thought, his gaze faraway, focused on something beyond her, something that made his chest rise and fall with more intensity.“I wasn’t trying to lie,” Georgia whispered, her voice shaking with the weight of her admission. “I was scared, Jared. I didn’t know how someone like you would react to someone li

    “They’re not leaving,” Jared said, his voice cold and final, his eyes locked onto the guards by the palace gate. “Lock the gates. No one leaves this territory unless I say so.”“Yes, Alpha,” the guards responded in unison, lowering their heads as they disappeared toward the outer wall.Georgia let out a shaky breath. “Thank you… thank you for letting them stay.” Her voice cracked as she stepped closer, reaching out slowly, unsure. Then, with a surprising boldness, she pressed a kiss to Jared’s forehead.Jared didn’t move.He didn’t even blink.His heart thudded against his ribs, loud and violent. Her scent filled his lungs, wildflowers and vanilla, and it only made the storm inside him worse.She smiled softly, a hint of relief on her face. “I know this isn’t easy for you…”You have no idea, Jared thought.He didn’t deserve that kiss. Didn’t deserve her soft gratitude. Not when he was carrying a truth that could shatter her.“Come with me,” he said suddenly, stepping back from her war

    Georgia turned back slowly.Her eyes locked onto Jared, still on his knees, still trembling.ThenSLAP!The second one landed harder. Sharper. Louder.His head jerked to the side.She was weeping now, chest rising and falling in uneven sobs. Her voice cracked with pain as she screamed, "I trusted you! I begged you that night! I said NO! And you still, YOU STILL"Jared shook his head desperately. "Georgia, I didn’t know it was you. I didn’t. I was sexually aroused and I was drunk too""But I did!" she shouted. "I knew what was happening, Jared. I begged. I cried. I screamed. And you... you didn’t stop. You didn’t care!"Her whole body shook as she backed away, hugging herself like she was trying to hold herself together. "Do you know what happened after that night? Do you even care what happened to me?"He opened his mouth to answer, but she didn’t give him the chance."I walked home that night, torn, bleeding, and broken! And when my parents that I was pregnant"Her voice broke again,

    “Can you imagine falling for a monster? The same monster who raped you?”Georgia’s breath hitched as the thought clawed through her mind like a jagged blade. Her grip tightened on the suitcase handle, knuckles pale. “Oh hell no,” she whispered to herself, shaking her head, trying to keep it together.“Mommy, where are we going?” Keira’s sleepy voice cracked the heavy silence, tugging at Georgia’s shredded heartstrings.Georgia paused. The hallway was dim, moonlight streaming through the windows like quiet judgment. Her hands trembled as she turned to face her daughter, her everything.“We're just... getting some air, baby,” she said softly, forcing a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes, so "Just keep walking, baby. Don’t ask questions right now," Georgia finally whispered again, but her voice cracked.Kelvin rubbed his eyes. "Is it because Sir Jared doesn’t want us here anymore? Did he… did he fire you, Mom?"Georgia stopped in her tracks. The name alone made her chest ache like a

    Back at the palace, a storm raged, not outside, but inside Alpha Jared. The grand chamber, once a place of power and pride, now echoed with the sound of his pacing footsteps and guttural growls. The mighty Alpha, once calm and respected, was now nothing but a tormented soul spiraling out of control. His bare feet thudded against the cold marble floor as he walked back and forth like a caged beast, his massive frame trembling with anger and regret.Moonlight streamed in through the tall glass windows, casting silver streaks across the room, but Jared didn’t see the beauty of the night. His wolf was restless, scratching at the inside of his skin, urging him to howl, to destroy, to let go. His breaths came in hard, sharp bursts, like he was suffocating in his own thoughts. His claws had extended, slicing the palm of his hand from gripping too tightly.His heart thundered in his chest, heavy with the weight of what he had done. Every second that passed felt like a thousand needles prickin

    "Answer me, Jared!" Serafina’s voice cracked like thunder across the grand chamber. "You’re just going to stand there?! Say something!"The air between them was thick with rage, heartbreak, and disbelief. Jared didn’t speak. He didn’t blink. He didn’t even breathe for a moment. He just stood there, jaw clenched so tight his muscles trembled. His eyes, those usually fierce, calculating eyes, were now dark and hollow. Then, with no explanation, no apology, no glance, he turned around and walked out.Serafina froze.“What…?” her voice dropped to a whisper, trembling. “You’re walking away from me?”She blinked fast, as if her vision had betrayed her. But the sound of his footsteps, heavy and deliberate, echoed louder than any confession.“Jared!” she shouted, storming after him. Her heels clacked furiously against the marble floor. “I’m talking to you and you’re walking away from me?! Don’t you DARE walk away!”He didn’t stop. Not until she caught up with him just outside the chamber door

    All that happened last night felt like a dream… or maybe a nightmare. Jared jolted awake, his heart pounding as he noticed the empty space beside him. Georgia wasn’t there. His eyes darted around the room, the reality of the morning crashing in. She was gone.“No,” Jared muttered under his breath, his mind racing. How could she leave after everything that had happened? After all the promises, after all the pain he’d fought through to get here, to get them back together? The silence felt suffocating.His body froze, a sudden noise breaking through the stillness. He could hear something, footsteps, soft whispers. And then a child’s laugh.Jared’s heart skipped a beat as he recognized the voices. Georgia. The kids.Without thinking, he sprang from the bed, his muscles still stiff from the battle the night before. He quickly moved toward the source of the sounds, his bare feet making almost no noise on the cold wooden floor.“Why?” Georgia’s voice was low, almost trembling with disbelief,

    Thought for 5 seconds“Mum… who are you talking to?” Keira’s small voice trembled in the heavy silence as she stood in the doorway, her blue eyes wide with curiosity and fear.Georgia’s breath caught. She swung around, her wolf‑sense snapping back into place. Before her, in the dim glow of the cabin, stood not only Jared but two more children: Kelsey, clutching a ragged stuffed fox to her chest, and Kelvin, arms folded, eyes fierce with hurt.“Keira,” Georgia whispered as if the name itself were fragile. She turned fully, heart pounding. “This is…” Her voice cracked, and she swallowed hard. Then she squared her shoulders. “Kids, this is Jared.”Kelsey’s grip on her fox loosened as she peered at Jared. “Daddy?” she asked, hope and confusion warring in her tone.Kelvin’s scowl deepened. “You made Mum cry,” he accused, voice low but shaking with anger.Jared’s chest tightened. He knelt slowly, placing his coat gently on a nearby chair before rising again. “Kelvin,” he said, voice soft. “

    Jared had made his decision, he would go see them, no matter the storm waiting for him. His wolf paced inside him, restless, agitated. It had been too long. The bond he once tried to bury now clawed at his chest, demanding resolution.He summoned Caleb with a low growl in his tone. “You’re in charge of the pack until I return. No one disturbs me unless it’s war.”Caleb gave a firm nod, sensing the shift in Jared’s aura, the Alpha was on edge.By the time Jared reached Georgia’s territory, the moon had begun to rise, casting silver light over the forest path. Her scent hit him first, wildflowers mixed with fury. It tightened something deep in his core.He stepped out of the vehicle and barely took two steps before the door to her cabin burst open. Georgia stood there, her posture rigid, eyes glowing faintly gold. Her wolf was close to the surface.What are you doing? Here? I never asked you to come “You think you’re the only one who’s been hurt?” she spat, voice low and trembling with

    Jared woke up before dawn, the faint light of morning creeping through the cracks in the windows. He couldn’t shake the feeling of her touch on his shoulder the night before, the way she had looked at him, her voice both soft and firm, a promise wrapped in uncertainty. It’s not forgiveness, Jared. Not yet. But you’re here. You’re not gone anymore.He had never felt a glimmer of hope so fragile yet so powerful.When he left Georgia's home, the weight of his past still hung heavy around his neck, but it was lighter than before. He wasn’t sure if it was her quiet acceptance of his presence or the faintest hint of something more in her eyes, but it was enough. It was a thread he could grasp onto.The sun hadn't yet fully risen, and Georgia’s village was still asleep when he saddled his horse. Her words echoed in his mind: “Don’t get too comfortable. I haven’t forgiven you.”But that was okay. He hadn’t expected forgiveness. He never had. Not immediately, at least. All he wanted was the c

    "She’d heard it all, his broken vow whispered into the shadows, his desperate promise to bring Georgia back. Her heart leaped at the mention of her favorite lady, but doubt clawed at her chest. Could words fix what betrayal shattered? Could a king truly undo the past? Swallowing her nerves, she stepped into the flickering torchlight, ready to face him.""Do you think words will be enough? That she’ll just forgive you because you finally grew a spine and remembered you have a family?"The voice came from behind him. Sharp. Unexpectedly.Jared turned, his body tense, his hand instinctively brushing the hilt of his dagger. But it wasn’t an enemy.It was Mara, one of the palace maidens. Young, barely past twenty, but known for her sharp tongue and loyalty to Georgia. Her brown eyes held a storm he hadn’t expected."You were listening," he said quietly, not as a question, but a statement."The whole palace heard your voice, my Lord," she said. "Maybe you were trying to make sure we did."H

    “Let’s take a break? No, Serafina, I'm done.”Jared's voice was cold, each word slicing through the thick silence like a blade. “You’re exhausted… pathetic.”Serafina froze.“What?!” Her voice cracked like lightning splitting the sky.She stormed toward him, fury burning in her eyes. “Are you being serious right now, Jared?”“You’re not listening to me, Serafina! You never listen!” he snapped, fists clenched at his sides.Her lips curled. “Oh, I’m listening now. I’m listening to the man who once swore I was his destiny suddenly acting like I’m the burden. How convenient.”“I heard you,” Jared said, voice low and hard. “But this... whatever this has become between us, it’s toxic. It’s done. It should’ve ended a long time ago.”The silence that followed wasn’t calm.It was the kind of silence that came before something exploded.Serafina took a slow step back, her chest rising and falling. “You think you can walk away from me? After everything? After me?”“Yes,” he said simply, stepping

    "She’s unfit for her role, you know," the maid whispered, her voice sharp as broken glass. As they gossip about serafina.Serafina froze behind the corner, her fists tightening until her nails carved red moons into her palms."Mad," another murmured. "Dangerous."Their words swirled through the stone halls like smoke, curling around her throat, choking her.She should step forward.She should slap the girl so hard her descendants would feel it.Her body trembled with the urge, raw, hot, violent, but she didn’t move.Not because she couldn’t.Because they weren’t worth it.Serafina turned on her heel, her boots clicking sharply on the marble. She didn’t look back, didn’t let them see the wildfire rising in her chest. She marched past them like they were less than dirt.Her face, cold as winter.But inside?Inside, she was crumbling, screaming, clawing at the walls of her own ribs.They dared.They dared.She shoved through the palace doors and into the open courtyard, the evening sky b

    "Do it clean," Serafina said coldly, her eyes never leaving the horizon. "Yes, my Lady," Kae murmured, already melting into the shadows like smoke.She stood there for a long moment, fists still trembling, feeling the sting of broken skin and broken trust. The air was thick, hot, like it could swallow her whole.She turned, cloak swirling, and stalked back through the palace gates. The guards didn’t dare meet her gaze.Good. Fear was easier to command than loyalty.Each step she took echoed loudly, bouncing off the cold marble walls. She didn't slow down. She didn’t look back. Her blood pounded in her ears, louder than the roaring whispers of servants scrambling to get out of her way.She didn’t care.She didn’t care about their looks, their mutterings, their prayers.She had a storm inside her chest, and it needed somewhere to go.By the time she reached her quarters, Serafina was breathing hard, her chest heaving. She threw the heavy doors open and let them slam behind her.Sile

    "Where is he?" Serafina’s voice sliced through the humid morning air like a blade. No one answered. The soldiers in the training yard froze mid-swing, the clang of steel against steel dying in the tension. A few exchanged glances, daring each other to speak. She stormed forward, barefoot still, blood dried around her knuckles, her once-glorious nightgown hidden now under a dark cloak she had grabbed from her closet. Her hair was wild, her eyes two burning embers that promised nothing but ruin. "I said—" she roared, fists clenched at her sides, "WHERE IS HE?!"A young squire, no older than fifteen, pointed a trembling finger toward the center of the field.Caleb.He stood with a training sword in hand, mid-spar with another knight. His back was to her, unaware of the storm about to crash into him.Serafina didn't walk to him. She charged."CALEB!" she screamed, her voice cracking the air like thunder. The boy turned, confused, then his eyes widened in horror.It was too lat
