Tyler’s POV“Have you gotten anything about her yet?” I spoke to the person on the phone. I just got a message from one the men I sent and so I decided to call him.“Yes, we got her scent. She is alive Alpha. I am very sure of it.” He said and I smiled brightly. It felt like a huge load has been taken off my shoulders after he said that. I felt very good l.“But what? Give me some more good news.” I said with an annoyed look.“Something does not feel right Alpha. We found her scent in the middle of nowhere. It’s a very deep forest and we decided to check further closer to river but we only found the body of a rogue. The face was unrecognizable because the body has stayed there for some days now.” He said and my heat started beating fast.“It can’t be Jasmine right?” I asked him.“No, it’s not her. It’s a man. He also has a stab wound on his back. Do you think that it was Jasmine that killed him?”“It can’t be her. She didn’t have any training experience.” I said to him.“Are you sure
Emily's POVThe forest was dark and quiet as I walked, the trees looming overhead like silent private soldiers. The path ahead twisted and turned, disappearing into the shadows as I ventured deeper into the woods. Each step I took seemed to echo in the silence, the crunch of leaves and twigs underfoot the only sound in the still night. My heart pounded with a mix of fear and purpose. I had heard stories about the witch who lived deep in these woods, and now, I was about to meet her in person.Finally, I reached the clearing where the witch's cottage stood, its crumbling walls barely visible in the faint moonlight. A shiver ran down my spine as I approached, the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end like I was about to be struck by the lightning. The cottage was surrounded by tall trees, their branches reaching out like emaciated arms. The wind whispered through the leaves, creating strange and weird sounds that made me quicken my pace.The cottage looked so old, with moss and vi
Tyler’s POVTyler looked stricken, his face pale as he heard what Jasmine had said. “Jasmine, please don’t say that. I’m sorry. I just... I don’t want to lose you.” He stared at Alex in disgust, his emotions a whirlwind of regret and fear.Alex’s expression was equally pained. “Jasmine, I’m sorry too. I just wanted to protect you. I’ll back off if that’s what you need.”Jasmine nodded, feeling a sense of certainty wash over her. Alex was her choice. Throughout her pregnancy, he had been her rock, offering unwavering support and love. Tyler, despite being the father of her children, represented a tumultuous past she wished to move beyond. As she watched the tension between the two men dissolve, she sighed with relief, glad that her firm stance had prevented a further escalation.“Jasmine, I know I messed up,” Tyler continued, his voice softer now. “But I can’t bear the thought of losing my boys.”Tyler and Alex exchanged a long look, their anger melting into an uneasy understanding. For
Alex's POVThe evening air feels charged with tension as Alex sat with Jasmine in the living room, the twins peacefully sleeping upstairs. The joy of their arrival was overshadowed by Tyler's sudden intrusion and his unwelcome demand that Jasmine and the twins leave your home suddenly. They thought he was OK with the idea of her stay with Alex.Alex glanced at Jasmine, her usually calm look strained with worry. Alex reached out, grasping her hand in silent support, hoping to convey reassurance amidst the disturbing storm before them."Jasmine,"Alex murmurs softly,"We will find a way through this. Tyler can not just dictate what happens to us."She nods faintly, her eyes troubled."I know, Alex. But legally, he has rights as their father, you know?"Alex's jaw tightened with frustration. "But that does not mean he can force you to leave here, especially after everything he's put you through. He was not even there for you while you were pregnant, it was all me taking care of you… prov
Alex's POVAlex stared out the window, watching the rain pelt against the glass. The decision to cooperate with Tyler had been a difficult one, but Alex knew it was the only way to keep the peace for Jasmine and the twins. Still, every fiber of his being rebelled against the idea of sharing the woman he loved with another man.Deep down, he knew he was pretending. Pretending for Jasmine’s sake, to ease her worries, and to give her the rest she desperately needed. But his true feelings were a storm inside him, threatening to break free any time soon.Tyler’s presence in their home had been a constant reminder of the precarious situation. The tension between them was palpable, and it didn’t take long for it to come to a head.One evening, as the twins slept peacefully upstairs, Alex and Tyler found themselves alone in the living room. The atmosphere was charged, and it didn’t take much to ignite the simmering tension."You think this is easy for me?" Tyler spat, his eyes blazing with ang
Jasmine's POVI loved the change; I could actually smell the difference in the air. I could finally leave Alex and Tyler in a room together without them fighting. A smile crept onto my face as I rested my head on the pillow, reflecting on how I had ended up here. My thoughts were soon interrupted by Tyler walking into my hospital room, his broad smile lighting up the room. The smile on his face could illuminate the entire world. For the first time in so long, I found myself admiring his physique. He was giving 100 all over 100 minus nothing. His presence was magnetic... What was this fluttering I was feeling in my belly? I smiled at him as he came even closer. He placed some things on the table next to me probably my food or something.“Hey,” he greeted me, pulling a seat close to the table beside me. He sat down, still smiling, and pulled out a bouquet of flowers. Roses. He handed them to me with a grin that reached his eyes. Roses were my favorite flower, and I was touched that Tyler
Jasmine's POVMy heart pounded in my chest as I saw the determined look on her face. Tyler stood up, positioning himself protectively between Emily and me. “Emily, this has to stop. You have caused enough damage.”But Emily’s smile was anything but friendly. “Oh, Tyler, you have no idea what’s coming. Do you think this is over? It’s just the beginning.”Her words sent a chill down my spine. What did she mean? What else could she possibly do to us? I clenched the sheets tightly, my mind racing. Whatever Emily had planned, it was clear we were not out of the woods yet.Suddenly, the room began to spin. The fluorescent lights above flickered, casting eerie shadows on the walls. I tried to focus on Tyler, but his image started to blur. Emily’s voice echoed in my head, growing louder and more distorted. “It’s just the beginning… I am not done with you… Jasmine… you will suffer… I will make you suffer.”I felt myself being pulled into a vortex, my consciousness slipping away. I struggled to
Alex’s POVI smiled as I watched the baby boys play with each other. It was fun being a twin because you get to have a friend and playmate from inside the womb. I was on dad duty today, so I had to stay with the kids. Jasmine was pleased with the nanny Tyler had hired to watch over the twins, so Tyler and I had to take turns taking care of the boys since Jasmine was still on bed rest. She needed to recover before coming back home and resuming her motherly duties again. I smiled as the twins played and laughed at their baby sounds, only God knows what they were discussing. I had tried to put them to sleep, but they ended up playing and making me laugh. It was nice being a father to these kids. Being a father was an experience I never thought it was, with the sleepless nights and endless diaper changes, but it was all worth it.The doorbell rang, and I hurriedly went to the door. It was a delivery guy. Finally, the things I ordered for Jasmine had arrived after three days of waiting. I s
