Erica’s POV

The silence between us was suffocating, thicker than the smoke that lingered from wood fires. Reynold’s words hung there—unfinished, heavy—as if the night itself was waiting for his judgment to fall.

He took one step closer, his shadow swallowing mine. His chest rose and fell in sharp, controlled breaths. His voice when it came , was rough, biting, and sharp enough to cut me into two.

“You’re selfish, Natasha. Selfish and gutless.”

The words sliced straight through my chest. He didn’t shout them—he didn’t need to. The quiet way he said them made them sharper, heavier. More real. I stood frozen, my cloak clutched around me like it could shield me from the burn of his stare.

“You think this is bravery?” His lips curled, not in a smile but in something more wicked. “Showing up here at the last moment, acting like you came to save us? No. You didn’t come for us—you came for yourself. You came to put on a show, to make yourself feel better.” His eyes blazed, silver catching th

    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 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 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 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

    Erica’s POV.Denise’s hand curled around the cabinet handle. The silver gleamed faintly under the chandelier light, her fingers delicate but steady. I could hear my own breath catching, sharp and shallow, as if the air itself had grown thin.The moment stretched.Her lips curved into a smile that wasn’t really a smile, the kind of curve that promised nothing good. And then, without warning, she tugged the door open.The hinges creaked.I felt my body tense so hard my shoulders ached, my fingernails digging into the rag in my palm. The bucket beside me trembled as though it shared my fear. Heaven didn’t move. She stood like a statue, only her eyes giving her away, wide and fixed on her mother.Denise’s head tilted slightly as she peered inside.For a single heartbeat, her eyes widened. Surprise flickered there—so quick I almost thought I had imagined it. Her face was angled away from me, but I caught the faintest shift in her breath, the tiniest pause.I thought she saw.I thought it w
