All Chapters of Once Lost, Twice Found: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Ann's POVA groan came through the cracked door of the abandoned storage corridor, freezing the blood in my veins but I leaned closer with my lantern trembling violently in my hand and peered through the narrow sliver of darkness.My free hand instantly clamped over my own mouth, stifling the horrified gasp that escaped from my throat as disbelief gushed over me.Inside the cramped and dusty space, Alpha Reginald Ashcroft had his Beta, Logan Fisher, pinned flush against the stone wall and they were kissing! Well, except it wasn't just a kiss but rather a violent and desperate collision as if they were trying to consume one another alive.Reginald’s massive hands were tangled fiercely in Logan’s dark hair with his hips grinding into the Beta’s with an unrestrained hunger while Logan’s fingers clawed frantically at the Alpha’s broad shoulders, pulling him closer until there was absolutely no space left between them.My mind violently rejected what my eyes were seeing.This was Alpha Regi

Ann's POVI sat completely frozen on the edge of the massive four-poster bed of Reginald with my hands gripping the sheets until my knuckles turned white. The dress they had forced me into earlier that day felt like a straightjacket, making every breath a battle.Hours had passed since the council meeting.. hours since Reginald had kissed me in front of the elders, effectively sealing my fate and transforming me from an invisible maid into the pack’s most high-profile prisoner.The other maids had moved my meager belongings into this opulent room in total silence.I was completely isolated... a ghost wearing a Luna’s crown.My newly awakened wolf paced relentlessly inside my mind, whining and scratching at the edges of my consciousness.'Click.'The sound of the iron deadbolt sliding open echoed like a gunshot and I flinched as Alpha Reginald stepped inside and discarded his suit jacket with his white dress shirt unbuttoned at the collar, revealing the muscular column of his throat. H

Ann's POVFor several long seconds, I could only stare at Doctor Mercer as his words echoed through the sterile quiet of the medical room. The world seemed to narrow to a single impossible sound.Triplets.The word didn’t feel real. It hovered between us like something too enormous to belong inside my exhausted body. My fingers drifted instinctively toward my stomach, pressing lightly against the thin fabric of the medical gown as though I might somehow feel three separate lives beneath my palm.“You are certain?” I whispered, barely able to force the words out. “Triplets?”Doctor Mercer’s expression tightened. He released my hand and turned quickly toward the ultrasound machine, lowering the brightness of the screen before anyone passing the narrow window in the door could glimpse what was displayed.“I checked four times,” he said quietly. “There are three distinct heartbeats and three separate forms. Two appear stronger and positioned farther forward. The third is smaller, but aliv

Logan’s POVHer scent still clung to my skin.No matter how many times I scrubbed my hands after leaving her chambers, I could still smell the sweet floral fragrance of her awakened omega beneath the soap, beneath the blood from the border skirmish, beneath everything. It lingered like a stain I couldn’t wash away.It made me sick. I slammed my fist into the stone wall outside my quarters. The impact cracked the plaster, sending dust drifting to the floor. A servant passing through the corridor immediately lowered his head and hurried away without speaking.Good.No one needed to witness the war tearing me apart. I pushed open the doors to my office and poured myself a glass of whiskey, swallowing half of it in one burning gulp. The whiskey burned all the way down and settled into nothing.He poured another glass immediately.Pregnant.The damned girl was actually pregnant. And she was earning everyone’s fucking favor as Luna.For years, Reginald and I had built our lives around a sin

Ann’s POVI watched as the door closed, leaving me alone in the room before I put my hand on my stomach. “I’ll figure it out,” I whispered. “I don’t know how this is going to be… but I am going to figure it out. I won’t leave you to their mercy.”A sound behind me made my heart stop, and the private door opened. I spun around so quickly that dizziness swept through me.Logan stepped inside, and I backed away instantly. “No.”His eyes narrowed. “No?”“Stay away from me.” I said, shaking my head. “Don’t you dare approach me.”He shut the door behind him. My pulse raced. His threat from yesterday c
