Catherine's POVAfter Annabella left, I couldn't help but feel worried for myself and especially my baby. Her threats were firm and I knew she meant every word she said. She sounded dangerous and determined to get rid of me and my worst fear was that I had no idea what she was planning.I rubbed my belly and as I was still in deep thought, one of the Alphas walked in and before I could ask who he was, “I'm Darin.” He introduced himself and I nodded. “What's wrong? You look worried.” He asked.I wanted to tell him that Annabella threatened me and my child but I wondered if he would believe me, considering how he had reacted to that allergy incident and the fact that she was his best friend as well. I decided not to tell him.“I'm stressed and I need to go out for fresh air.” I answered, using that as an excuse to escape his question.“Sure. I'll take you to where you can relax and get some fresh air.” He said and took me out. We walked around the mansion and came to the backyard, where

Alpha Darwin's POVWe teleported to Darin's room and he growled angrily. His face was so red in anger and he was seething. I couldn't do anything, I just stood there as I tried my best to wrap my head around what just happened.Darin looked at me and from his gaze, I knew he was wondering that I wasn't furious like him.“Isn't this worrying you at all? Why do you look so calm and cool with all these? She just cheated on us, Darwin, and you saw it. Why are you looking like it's nothing serious?” He asked, his eyes red with anger.“I'm just shocked and still thinking.” I answered and he growled again.“How could she? Why?” He yelled angrily and punched the war, yanking me from my reverie. He continued hitting the wall furiously and it cracked. That didn't stop him, he went ahead to hit the wall and soon his hand started bleeding.I rushed to him and held him. “Calm down, you're hurting yourself. Get a grip!” I said but he pushed me away.“Let go of me! Allow me to punch and do whatever

Alpha Darin's POVWe teleported upstairs to our room and I sat down, reflecting on my words. All the words I said to her came back to me and I realized that all I had said weren't right.My words were not right and it had hurt her. I covered my face with my palms as I thought of the next step of action to take. I was so angry that I didn't think of the consequences of what my words would cause.We were quiet for a while, but Darwin broke the silence.“I know we're both angry about the situation on ground but the way you reacted was not right. You overreacted, Darin. There is a way you would have handled the whole issue and everything wouldn't have escalated this far.” He said and I frowned.What the heck was he saying? A way I would have handled it? How else was I supposed to handle it when I saw everything play out before my eyes? I had come to check on her like I always did and found her in bed with someone else. How was I supposed to feel? Smile and act like nothing happened? Be th

CATHERINE'S POVHis words felt like daggers piercing the deepest part of my soul, and I felt like crying, but I was done crying. I would no longer cry in front of these people who failed to see the heart of an agonizing mother.Only I knew how much I wanted to leave this house, but it was never like this. I wanted to leave with my baby still inside me, giving birth to it in the comfort of my aunt's home, surrounded by my loved ones. This was never what I wanted, and it pained me more than anyone else.“You shouldn't drag her that way. You're hurting her!” I heard Lucas shout behind us.“She just lost her baby. She's as hurt as you are. You should be considerate, please,” my aunt added, but none of their words meant anything, as they couldn't do anything to the powerful Alpha Darin.He continued dragging me down the stairs, towards the exit of his mansion and outside, before throwing me to the ground. “You should leave before I do something else,” he mumbled calmly, but I could see the

ALPHA DARIN’S POVI thought I would be okay without her in my life. I thought life without her would be normal and enjoyable, or maybe it would be just fine, if not great. I had always imagined that leaving her wouldn't hurt so much, but it took me a long time to realize that life without her was empty.I felt empty without her by my side, and the thought of never seeing her again haunted me every day. It was hard, too hard to live without her.I remembered hitting her that day before dragging her out of the mansion, and I felt like cutting my hands off. “No matter what, I shouldn't have slapped her.” Slapping her was the worst thing I could have done, and it pained me to think that I had dragged her out too.I even told her never to show up in front of me again. Why did I have to say such a silly thing? Why didn't I calm down and think before saying anything to her?My reaction that day was a first for me. I had never been so irrational before, and I had never let my anger take contro
