She was distant…Erica was distant, I didn't know if it was the pregnancy thing, although a bump hadn't appeared on her belly yet. It's been two months since we got married, we hadn't touched each other since then, she stayed in her own room, just like Denise stayed in hers, always nagging about the fact that Erica would never compare to her status… And I? I was too busy with the pack, fighting rogues off our territory and rivals who never learned their lesson after I'd killed a good number of them… But today, was another special day, no fights, just the peace and quiet. I walked in, into Erica's room, and there she was, sitting straight on her bed, pondering over thoughts I couldn't tell. I went to her, sitting by her as I placed my hand gently on her belly, looking straight into her eyes as she peered into mine. Then her lips parted… “Why did you marry me?” This was something she'd wanted to ask for long, why I'd married her, why I went after a maid because she was my mate… I slowly got up to my feet. “It was the right thing to do, and you must know this Luna, I am respected for being just.” I told her. “Is that all?” She asked, avoiding my gaze. “That's all, Luna, but now you're carrying my child, for whom you ruined my suit, ” I smiled, as she giggled. Her smile…it was beautiful I hate to admit. “I'm just…a property?” She asked, as she played with her slender fingers. But I had no answer to give to that, what did she think? That I had fallen in love with her because of one single night? “Take care of yourself, and my heir.” I told her, as I left. I headed for Denise's room, I needed to see her because word had gotten to me that she wasn't feeling well. She would act differently, throw her arms around me like a child and act overexcited anytime I came to see her…she didn't know or at least guess how irritated I was anytime she would welcome me that way, and how much I hated her. My mother detested her more, although she always supported me in everything I did, her own hatred was personal. But I still opened the door and walked in ready to endure her clingy attitude, but what I expected didn't happen. She laid down flat on the bed, her eyes faced the ceiling and her lips were slightly apart. “Luna Denise?” I called out to her, but she didn't respond, “ I know you hate the weather as much as I do.” I said, as I shut the door behind, but she didn't reply, she didn't even make a gesture or bat an eyelid. I ran to her side and noticed that black liquid trickled down from one corner of her lips, a cup and sauce stood on the stool by her side and when I looked into the cup, I noticed she had just finished having her tea, I brought it close to my nostrils and sniffed…wolfsbane. *** I summoned all the maids employed to serve her and take care of her while she was ill into her bed room, while the pack doctor attended to her…good thing he came on time, Denise would have been pronounced dead. “Her tea was poisoned.” I smiled slightly, as I held up the tea cup, looking at the eleven maids one by one as they fidgeted, “She was poisoned with wolfsbane!” I thundered, smashing the tea cup against the wall. It was a heavy crime to kill anyone in any form, and I wasn't ready to tolerate such crimes in my reign as Alpha of the Blood Moon Lycans Pack! “Who served her tea?” I finally asked, “Who?!” “I did.” A soft voice came from the slightly opened door… My heart slammed heavily against my ribcage… “You…” My words trailed off, I was too disappointed to say anything. “But believe me, I didn't poison her.” Erica held her belly with both hands, her eyes spoke of fear as they welled up with tears. “Then explain this…explain why she's lying down there almost lifeless!” I yelled at her, as my hands pointed shakily at Denise. “I'm telling the truth,” She sobbed, as she covered her mouth with her hand. A part of me wanted to believe her, wanted to defend her, to pull her close and tell her I believed her…but the other part cried for justice. “You're a sly,” I told her, “A greedy sly.” She nodded vigorously in disagreement. “I swear in the name of the moon goddess, I didn't have any intentions of harming her.” She cried harder. Silence…except for her racing heartbeat that made me believe she was lying. But then the pack doctor broke the silence with a shocking news… Denise was pregnant.

The Triplet Alphas (Ronald’s POV.)“You really are sick in the head,” Reynold said, patting my shoulder as if he pitied me, then burst out laughing like it was the funniest thing he’d heard all week. His laughter was sharp and too loud for the quiet corridor.I stood there, my face stiff, waiting for him to stop.Pfft.He never believed me.“You’re a piece of shit,” I muttered through my teeth, even though I already knew my words would bounce off him like stones on water.“Oh, brother…” Reynold said in that lazy voice he used when he was enjoying himself too much. He adjusted my collar like a mother fixing a child before church. His mouth curved into a mocking smile. “This hatred you carry for me—it’s never redeemable, is it?”I slapped his hand off. “Don’t touch me.”“But I care about you, Ronald,” he added quickly, though his tone was soaked in sarcasm. His smile widened. “Deeply…You’re my favorite. Don’t tell Robert.”“You care?” I scoffed. “That’s rich, coming from you. You’d laug

The Triplet Alphas (Ronald’s POV).The words still echoed in the room.“I saw someone!”It startled even me—my own voice sounding louder, harsher, more desperate than I’d meant. Reynold stopped in mid-step, the line of his shoulders stiff beneath his suit. Slowly, he turned, his eyes heavy and sharp, the way they always were when he thought I was wasting his time.“You saw someone,” he repeated, his tone flat.I forced a breath out. “Yes.”He tilted his head, his mouth twitching into a faint, dismissive smile. “Ronald, people walk this earth in their thousands. You’ll have to do better than that.”My fingers curled at my sides. It would have been easier to swallow the words, to let them die in my chest, but they pressed harder until they clawed out of me.“I think it was Daisy.”The name cracked the air like a whip.For the first time, Reynold’s face shifted. His jaw tightened, and his eyes flickered. Then he scoffed sharply, but the sound was forced, and kinda brittle.“Don’t,” he sa
THE OMEGA'S RETURN: Her Second Life Under The Moonlight. Chapter Eighty-Five.
The Triplet Alphas (Ronald’s POV.)I smiled slightly—not because I was amused seeing my brother washed pale with embarrassment, but because some part of me thought he deserved it. Reynold always carried himself with that unshakable pride, always the one who acted as though nothing in this world could bend him. But watching her walk away, watching Natasha leave him standing there with nothing but silence in his hands—it left him looking almost human for once…stripped down vulnerable, and kinda unsettled, now that was better.And maybe that was why I smiled. Not cruelly, just quietly.I hadn’t said much for a long time. Being the youngest, words rarely found space around me anyway. With Robert, words turned into discussions, ideas, strategies. With Reynold, words felt like stepping into battle, sharp and demanding. I had learned to stay quiet, to stay in the background. I was nobody’s favorite brother, not Mother’s, not Father’s, and not even among us three. But this—this time—was whe
THE OMEGA'S RETURN: Her Second Life Under The Moonlight. Chapter Eighty -Four.
The Triplet Alphas (Reynold’s POV).The moment she turned her back on me, my chest tightened as though someone had pressed a hand flat against it, forcing out the air. Natasha’s steps were measured, steady, her spine so straight it almost taunted me. She didn’t hurry, she didn’t stumble—she simply walked away.And I let her.For a few seconds, I stood frozen, my fists clenching and unclenching at my sides. The proud, ego-driven Alpha in me wanted to scoff, to call her bluff, to let her know that I didn’t care. That’s what everyone expected of me, wasn’t it? Reynold—the cold, unshaken Alpha. Reynold—the one who never bowed, never bent, never begged.But the truth?If embarrassment was a pool, I had already drowned in it.I hated that my wolf shifted restlessly inside me, pacing and clawing, as if urging me to move before it was too late. I hated the sting in my throat, the burn of words I had swallowed too many times before. And yet, I hated most that she had every reason to walk away
THE OMEGA'S RETURN: Her Second Life Under The Moonlight. Chapter Eighty -Three.
The Triplet Alphas (Reynold’s POV).The courtyard air shifted when that hand caught hers.Denise froze, her claws gleaming in the sunlight, an inch away from striking Natasha. For a heartbeat I thought the world itself had stopped turning.And then, in that stillness, I saw him.Alpha Rowen.My father.He stood tall behind her, his grip steady around Denise’s wrist. There was no tremor in his hand, no hesitation in his voice when he spoke.“Now that’s enough Denise,” he said, low and sharp, the kind of voice that silenced even the birds in the marsh.Denise stiffened. Her lips curled, ready to spit back something venomous, but the weight of his hold pinned her in place. She tried to tug free, but it was useless. He didn’t raise his voice, didn’t need to. His presence alone was enough to bend the air.Natasha’s eyes widened. She looked from his hand to his face, her breath unsteady, her chest rising and falling as though she had been underwater too long. For a moment, it was almost as
THE OMEGA'S RETURN: Her Second Life Under The Moonlight. Chapter Eighty -Two.
The Triplet Alphas (Reynold’s POV.)The morning had broken with a kind of quiet that unsettled me. The house was never truly silent—the creak of wood, the distant shuffle of servants, the restless call of birds from the marshes—but still, there was a hush in the air that pressed against my ears.I stood by the window of my room upstairs, leaning against the frame, my gaze falling onto the courtyard below. I told myself I wasn’t waiting for her. I told myself I wasn’t watching for her. But my eyes found her anyway.Natasha.She was already outside, a tin watering can in her hands, tilting it carefully over the roots of the flowers that lined the garden. The water glittered in the light, streaming down into the soil until it darkened with life. She moved with a patience that I never understood—kneeling, brushing dirt from her hands, adjusting the angle of the leaves as though they could feel her touch.Her dress was plain, worn thin in places, the fabric clinging to her as she bent and
