Cadel’s POV:"Son of a bitch," I said, feeling frustrated. We were at the pack’s medical center entrance, and it was bad. Thirteen of our best healers had been killed in a really awful way."I've been saying it from the start," Carson declared. "I kept insisting we needed to take out Arnold, but everyone dismissed me as hot-tempered. 'Carson, you're too impulsive,' they said. 'Carson this! Carson that!' Now, see the consequences. And, by the way, our war strategy is completely messed up.”No one interrupted Carson's rant; he had every right to. How did I miss this? Why did I spare Arnold?"It's not your fault, Cadel," Anna reassured as if she sensed the storm brewing inside me."But it is," I countered."Anna, it's our fault," Cameroon chimed in. "However, dwelling on that won't help. Carson, since our battle strategy is compromised, let's devise a new one—a surprise to catch the Blackmoon pack off guard.”“Like what?” Carson asked. "I've been considering," Nicole suggested. "What if
Anna's POV:After a few days, things started getting back to normal. We buried or burned all the bodies, and the werewolves worked together to fix the buildings wrecked in the fight. We had busy days, but evenings were filled with parties, bringing a lot of harmony to the pack.As we were getting ready for another night of fun and drinks, the brothers all came to my door and asked me to join them in the living room."So, Anna, now that we've dealt with our adversary, we wanted to... I mean-" Carson began.Cadel jumped in, "What Carson is trying to say is we've agreed among ourselves that you can pick one of us to be your mate, and the other two will back off with no hard feelings.""Really?" I threw the question at all of them."Yes, for real, Anna," Cameroon replied. I took a moment, looking at each of them, and then a smile played on my lips. "Well, I pick all of you," I declared.The brothers exchanged surprised glances before Carson chuckled. "Seriously? You want all three of us?
EpilogueAnna’s POV:We were married for two and a half years. I lived with the brothers and our kids in one house, while Nicole and Lucas had their own homes nearby. I had a son with Cadel, a daughter with Cameroon, and was expecting a baby with Carson.But when the time came for the baby to arrive, something went wrong. The brothers waited outside the medical center, worried. Carson, especially, looked really concerned. An hour later, we got the sad news that the baby didn't make it. Carson couldn't hold back his pain and let out a howl of sorrow.Carson was devastated for months after we lost the baby. Cadel and Cameroon allowed us the time and space to heal. They didn't mind that I was spending more time with Carson than them. They didn't even mind that they had to look after the kids most of the time. Nicole did help us out a lot with looking after her nephew and niece. Slowly, Carson and I found comfort in each other's company. After a while, our intimacy rekindled, and I soon
Cadel's POV. As the bus sped down the long lonely winding road, the atmosphere inside was charged with excitement. Lucas suggested playing a game, causing the mood to become even livelier. "Truth or dare, huh?" I said with a grin, looking around at everyone. Nicole nodded eagerly. "Yeah, it'll be fun!" I glanced at Anna, who sat beside me, her eyes aglow with anticipation. "Alright, who wants to go first?" Lucas raised his hand. "I'll go. Cadel, truth or dare?" "Truth," I replied, curious about what he might ask. Lucas leaned forward, a playful sparkle in his eyes. “So, have you ever fallen for someone who didn't feel the same? How did you realize they weren't into you?” I chuckled, recalling a particular crush incident from my teenage years. “Oh, I remember this one time when I was head over heels for a werewolf princess from the Crown pack. I thought it was a good idea to confess my feelings to her during one of their lavish ball parties, but unfortunately, she walked out on
Anna's POVThe forest trees blurred past us as Nicole and I ran for our dear lives. The sounds of growls and snarls echoed behind us. My heart pounded heavily in my chest, and dread enveloped me tightly as I stole a glance over my shoulder, catching sight of Uncle Ben and his pack tearing into the Alpha brothers ruthlessly. Was this going to be how I lost my mates? So much for going back home with three Alphas as mates. Please, moon goddess, don't let them die! "Nicole, why is your Uncle trying to kill us?" I gasped out between breaths, as we dodged between tall trees and bushes, hoping to escape our attackers. Nicole's expression was grim as she glanced at me. "Uncle Ben's desire to kill us comes from a deep-seated belief in the purity and superiority of the family bloodline. We come from a long line of werewolf alphas, with a family history steeped in the purity of our bloodline. Our father was only half werewolf, breaking the purity, and Uncle Ben, being full-blooded, resents us
Cameroon POVSeeing my Uncle, Ben, had terrified me to a great length. He was easily the strongest werewolf I've ever met. I know this because I've seen him overpower even the strongest of adversaries with ease. His sheer strength and ferocity were unmatched. Even if my brothers and I were at the peak of our strength, we wouldn't have stood a chance against him, especially with five other werewolves backing him up. While grappling with Uncle Ben, we communicated through our mind link with Lucas, asking him to seek help in case we couldn't win. If we failed, the girls would be in need of rescue. Yet, I never dreamed we could stall Uncle Ben for so long. The Uncle Ben I knew, at his most aggressive, could have overwhelmed us within minutes.Was he growing weaker, or had we grown stronger? Regardless, he had us when it counted, but then Uncle Ben abruptly halted his assault and fled. Was it a change of heart, or did he detect a more pressing threat? His sudden departure left me both sur
Anna pov“Please help me!” I cried, sobbing profusely as I walked into the hospital strolling behind the stroller that carried my father. “Where’s the doctor?” One of the four men by either sides of my father questioned the first nurse that had rushed up to them. “Most of the doctors are already in the surgical room. I’m afraid we do not have any available doctors”While the nurse and the men contemplated on how to save my father’s life, I couldn’t help but shiver in fear and imagine the worst to come. “This is all my fault” I mutter over and over again as tears rolled down my cheeks, convincing myself that my father was dying because of me. And why should I not? My mother had died during childbirth while bringing me into this world. I was too big that I’d occupied a lot of space in her womb. When I, Anna Marion; a sleezy, worthless omega was born, my mother breathed her last. Father had always hated me ever since then.And to be honest, I couldn’t blame him either. I equally ha
Cadel pov “Good work, everyone” I said with a smile greeting the nurses around me as we stepped out of the operating room; Another successful operation. I thought with smile spread across my face. “Doctor, this is bad” One of the nurses says rushing up to me. The way her voice shaked, the evident trembling in her vocal cords made me know that this wasn’t a little issue at hand. “What is it?”“A patient was brought in earlier and now…”“And now?”“He just passed away. His daughter can’t stop crying”“What do you mean, he passed away?” I’d questioned, wide-eyed. “Didn’t any of the doctors attend to him?”The nurse shook her head. “All the doctors were performing a surgery”“Take me to the patient”. The nurse nodded her head as she rushed up to the reception, whilst I followed suite behind her. As we neared the reception, my senses heightened as my nose began to tingle. ‘What is this?’ I thought as the most enticing, sweet scent I could ever perceive began to fill my nose. I craved
