Graham:
I called my father and everyone in the pack to inform them that my heirs were finally born.
I was extremely happy.
Ever since she was taken into the emergency room, I had been making calls everywhere, informing every alpha personally, even Elgin, that I had been given the gift of three sons. (2)
I also ordered gifts and gold coins to be scattered across the pack’s main ground for the people to celebrate.
The doctor said that because of her condition, they had to perform a C–section.
I did not really care.
As long as she was giving me children, we would take care of her afterward.
She would be fine. She would receive the best care.
My father finally arrived at the hospital with Penny beside him.
“Is she okay?” they asked in unison.
I gave them a reassuring nod.
“She’s fine. She’s going to give us good news,” I said, smiling widely as I watched my warriors walk in with bouquets.
They moved from doctor to doctor and nurse to nurse, handing out treats and flowers.
“What are you doing?” my father asked, glancing at the preparations I was making for the evening.
“Father, an alpha’s heirs are born. Of course I have to make things perfect,” I replied, smiling to myself and placing my hands on my waist.
“Graham, I think you need to slow down,” Penny said carefully.
I raised my hand, signaling her to stop.
She was not going to poison this moment.
“No, I am serious,” she continued, stepping closer. “It is the eighth month. She did not look well. They are performing a C- section. You need to pray to the moon goddess before you start celebrating.”
I let out a soft laugh.
“You are afraid,” I replied, meeting her eyes. “And now you want me to be afraid too.”
“Graham, she is right,” my father said firmly.
Of course he would side with her.
“You both worry too much,” I said calmly. “My sons are strong. Kaylee is strong. Nothing will happen.”
I straightened my shoulders.
“If you cannot stand beside me during this moment, then go home. I will return tonight with my triplets and we will celebrate properly.” 1
I turned toward the door, dismissing them.
If they could not share my joy, they did not deserve to witness it.

“Too much arrogance is not good, Graham,” my father uttered, and I stared at him in disbelief.
“Just be happy for me. I know what I am saying. I know very well that nothing will happen to my children. That is because I control it,” I said.
The moment I confessed, I watched the confusion spread across their faces, and I knew it would be worth watching. I was saving the best for last, and I guess it was time to finally tell them that I was special.
“Are you saying-” Penny trailed off.
The way her face twisted, the way her nose wrinkled, it was disrespectful. It felt like they were not believing me, so I continued.
“I say whatever I want to happen, and then it happens. I order it,” I said. 2
I was still speaking when the doors behind me opened. I briefly turned around, then looked back at my father before doing a double take.
The doctors had come out.
People around us started to gather happily. At this point, the entire pack knew that the alpha’s children were on the way, so everyone was anticipating the news. The nurses who had just started their shift smiled, but their smiles quickly faded.
The two doctors who stepped out did not have smiles on their faces. There was a calmness about them that felt unsettling.
“Doctor,” I said with a smile on my face as I stepped forward.
“My sons,” I trailed off, watching the two doctors share a glance.
They did not answer immediately, and that was the first crack.
“We need you to come with us,” one of the doctors said, his tone heavy enough to send goosebumps across my skin.
“Why?” I asked, letting out a short laugh as I looked around for others to react. The warriors, the pack members, the families,
even my own people.
“Just tell me. Are my children fine?” I insisted.
The doctors remained silent, and something inside my chest tightened.
“I asked you something,” I said, my tone turning firm as I grew tired of their silence.
“Please,” the doctor repeated, his tone softer this time, “come with us.”
Behind me, I felt my father and Penny move.
“Graham,” my father called, but I ignored him.
I started to walk forward, each step feeling heavier than the last, as if my body was dragging itself under a weight that would soon become too much.
They did not take me to Kaylee. They took me to another room, and that was the second crack.
As the door opened and I stepped inside, I saw three small shapes wrapped in blankets. They were too still. There was no movement, no sound, no breathing.
For a moment, I did not understand what I was looking at, or maybe my mind simply refused to accept it.
“This is wrong,” I said, shaking my head slowly.
“No… no… no… this is wrong,” I whispered. (
I tried to swallow, but my throat felt like it was filled with needles.

“There were no heartbeats when—”
The doctor’s words faded as my ears started ringing.
