CATHERINE'S POVBeing back isn’t as rosy as I imagined it to be, but I am trying my best. I thought I would soon forget about the two Alphas and live my life as if they never existed, but it's proving to be harder than I ever imagined.After returning to my dad, I spent days at home, crying and reminiscing about the past three months, despite promising myself that I would stop crying the moment I left the Pack. My dad was worried and tried to console me, but it was of no avail until I noticed a job vacancy at a hospital not too far from our apartment.Viewing it as an opportunity, I decided to apply for a job there, and I was called in for the first interview today. I got out of bed, took a quick bath, and put on a knee-length gown that accentuated my sophisticated figure. I applied light makeup to hide the puffiness of my eyes, and with the necessary files in hand, I stepped out of my room.No one was home, so it was easier for me to leave without informing anyone. I immediately hail

ALPHA DARWIN'S POV“So? What do you guys want?” I asked, staring at the vampire representatives.Amid the preparations for the war with the vampires, we received a letter from them asking for peace… A Treaty of Peace.We received the letter and considered it for a few days before replying to it because we were surprised by their sudden and unexpected action. They were the ones who declared the war in the first place, so we never expected them to reach out to us to prevent the war before it even started.Darin was worried about it being a trap, but I knew it could never be. To be more certain, we decided to make some plans in case of anything before calling for a meeting. Today, we are all sitting in the pack house, listening to each other's thoughts.“We vampires don't want war. No matter how we think about it, war is not good for both sides, and we would like to prevent it at all costs," one of the vampire representatives said. I nodded my head as I turned to look at the Lord of the

ALPHA DARIN'S POVI watched Darwin return to me after meeting with Catherine, and I turned my head to look away without asking him about his meeting with her, even though I knew he was expecting me to."She left," he said, staring at me."Hm, I know," I replied nonchalantly."We talked," he added, and I nodded."I know you did," I replied, still looking away as if it was none of my business."Darin," Darwin called me, and I turned to face him."What is it?" I asked, and he sighed."I know you're curious about what we discussed. I can see it on your face that you want to know what we said, but why aren't you asking?" he asked me, and I frowned."Curious about what you two discussed? Why would I? I don't give a fuck about whatever you talked about with her, and I don't want to know either," I replied before looking away again, trying to hide my emotions.I knew Darwin did not believe me. I knew he knew I wanted to know. He knew how I still felt toward her, and that was the truth.The mo

ALPHA DARIN'S POVNoticing her strange behavior, I knew something was wrong, but I only truly believed it when I saw the expression on the doctor's face.Catherine was turning pale, and her breathing had changed. "What's going on?" I asked, but she was unable to reply as she slumped.Acting swiftly on my reflexes, I reached her in no time, catching her and preventing her from falling. "She has fainted!" I announced to the others who were staring at us."Bring her here! I need to examine her!" the doctor said, sounding worried. I carried her to the bed and laid her down. "What's wrong with her?" I asked, feeling fear coursing through my veins.The doctor checked her pulse and performed the necessary procedures, but my mind remained restless. I kept pacing back and forth, continuously questioning him about the situation. However, he was too occupied taking care of Catherine to answer me."Will she be okay? Will the baby be fine?" I wanted to ask, but I knew the doctor was still busy, an

ALPHA DARIN'S POVI desperately wished Catherine could change her mind and come with us, but the words from her mouth were like serpents threatening to tear my soul."Over my dead body!" she yelled. "I won't go back to that hell you call a home. I won't go with you," she added, disregarding our pleas. "I won't go back with you."I moved closer to her and let out a deep breath. "Catherine, you have to calm down. I want you to see the point in what we are saying because it's the only way we can all benefit from this. This pregnancy has a lot of complications, and you know it," I said to her, trying my best to convince her. "I also want you to remember that you are carrying our babies, and you know we've got lots of enemies who would stop at nothing to take away anything and everything that belongs to Darwin and me. If they find out about this pregnancy and realize you are not well protected, that will be the end. They might even kidnap you and try to hurt the babies and you..." I stoppe
