Killian's POV.It's been a few months since Aria claimed to be pregnant for me. And she has moved into the house as well. That didn't in any way imply that I chose her as my second chance mate or mark her as my Luna either.I allowed her move in so that she and the child would be taken care of, and after that, a place would be prepared, where she and the child would live far away from me. And thank goodness, her delivery date is close by.I had no plans of getting married to her, it is no concern of mine if she doesn't find a mate for her lifetime due to her condition, she never thought of that while sneaking into my bed, did she?Rumors were already flying around but I paid deaf ears to them, I am the Alpha, and no one dictates decisions for me. There's only one mate for me and that is Elena, and since she's gone, no one has the right to that. I was determined to stay mateless till the day I take my last breath. It was my punishment for what I did to her.My hatred for Aria grew wi

Elena's POV."Hero, you are letting your sister take the lead purposely!" I yelled from where I sat, watching them play so lovingly. Hero, who has seen his sister's countenance change as he continued winning her, now purposely fell back and let her take the lead. He loved her that much.I can't believe it's been two years already, watching them all grown now brought tears to my eyes. Now, I barely remember the pain from my terrible past because my beautiful set of twins has a way of wiping those ugly memories away, the sight of them alone filled my heart with so much joy. How time really flies. Darius and I had jointly come up with their names. Hero and Athena. Hero loves his sister so much, that he will protect her with everything and the same goes with Athena. That was possible because they were raised in love and compassion and it gladdened my heart to see them grow with the morals that Darius and I instilled in them.Darius has been the absolute best, he provided the kids with e

Elena's POV."I don't know you from anywhere, how could I have stepped on you?" Darius fired at him. He bursted into laughter. "You have really been fooling yourself to be the kid's father that you now believe it huh?" My heart skipped as he spoke. It was obvious that this strange man knew me so well. He obviously knew the kid's biological father.I could tell that my situation had escalated. I have always avoided the discussion about my past whenever Darius brought it up, and now he was about to find out from a total stranger.My heart raced drastically, realizing the messy situation that I was in. "What rubbish are you even saying? I think you have us mistaken, please hand over the kids and we will overlook this inconvenience," Darius was getting more pissed off right now. "Overlook?" He chuckled. "Anyways, I do not have a word to spare you." He turned to face me.I quivered as his prickling gaze scrutinized me. "Elena Salvador, will you also pretend you do not know what I'm tal

Killian's POV.Two years rolled by quickly and I was still mateless, but I wasn't bothered the least. It was a sentence I passed on myself.Once in a while, I sent out my warriors to secretly search through the neighboring packs but they always returned empty-handed. I never gave up the search. Somehow I had a feeling that she wasn't dead and every day, I kept hoping that I'd run into her. Universe knows that I'm never letting her out of my sight once I do.I froze on my spot as my gaze landed on Emily seated in the dining with my mom having lunch. Emily is my child with Aria. It's been two years and she has grown into a pretty little girl. Mother always invited her to the house for breakfast or lunch, though without Aria. She knew how much being in the same space with Aria messed with me and so she avoided that. I had truly fulfilled my promise of getting a fully furnished mansion for them, far away from my house, Aria hated the idea but she couldn't defile my orders. Of course,

Elena's POV.I exhaled a deep breath as I checked myself out in the mirror once more, I was fully ready to get this over and done with. My head snapped towards my packed bag and I sighed. At this point, I knew it wasn't necessary, I was going to carry out the mission as fast as I could and flee from the pack. There was no point staying back and delaying the process, therefore endangering the lives of my kids. I couldn't believe I was on the verge of killing a man I was once in love with, and worse, he was the father of my kids. It was beginning to get to me now, how complicated the situation is. And it has been like forever since I saw Killian last, I couldn't help but wonder what he'd look like now. What would be his reaction when he sets his eyes on me? Was he still mad at me? Will he order his warriors to drag me out of the pack like he did years ago? Or will he open his arms wide for me to run into?Different thoughts ran through my head.What if I developed cold feet? What if I
