With my unstable breathing, I was gasping for air as I woke up in a strange place. The air was quite thinner here, and I could feel a powerful presence just nearby.
My brain was heavy and my belly with sharp pain, I wanted to sit upright but the pain draw me back.
“Relax. you’re safe,” I heard a familiar voice beside me and saw Rem. He was sitting on the chair beside me as he kept watch on me.
I furrowed my eyebrows at him, feeling like this has happened before. A deja vu and nostalgic feeling.
He smiled at me, “Whenever I see you, you would either be in pain or faint.” He commented. 
I ignored his comment and asked as I glance around the room, it looked like a typical room. A bed and bedside table with a window to my right, and a closet on the left.
“Where am I?”
“You’re here in your father’s pack.”
I blinked, now recalling what happened. 
“Alpha Leomord, your father, he’s alpha in this pack.” Rem tried to explain to me further.
Remembering how Kai was fighting for me, I instanlty sat upright, “Where’s Kai?” 
“He’s back at his pack. The white claw pack.”
I raised my eyebrows at how ridiculous that pack name was. “White claw? What, don’t tell me he’s the alpha here.”
Rem nodded, “He is.”
I scoffed, that explains his undeniable magic. 
“you traitor, I thought you're their twin? You're the third twin, you should be on their side.”
“Nah, ever since Alpha Dyroth, our father, abandoned me to the enemy, your father Alpha Leomord, has taken me and raised me like his own son.” 
I cringed at how Rem would repeat the word father. It feels irritating to hear and I feel nauseated, wanting to gag at it.
“I told you, he’s not my father.” I clarified with him. 
I could see how my belly is wrapped with some strange herbal leaves as it smelled mint all over the room, I gulped, nervous for my pup's health and how much damage they must have received from me being too stressed out. “My pups…”
Rem suddenly got quiet, Here, drink this water, try to regain your energy first.”
“Where’s that man? I want to speak with him.”
“I am glad you are open to talking to him, but I figured it would stress your babies out. you can talk with him tomorrow when you are finally stable. I’ll leave you to your own first.” Standing up, Rem decided to walk away and left to give me my space.
I wanted to cry and yell at him and blame this on him, but I appreciate a bit how he would take care of me.
No, I still view him as a traitor. 
I breathed deeply, staring at the empty wall in front of me.
Kai just wounded Zef and knowing Kai, he wouldn’t waste a minute to rescue me here. 
I wanted to walk around and see what this place was and also plan my escape but I already have a feeling that it would be difficult. There was an assigned guard outside the door for me, and every ten minutes, some patrol guards were passing by. 
I gulped, losing hope. If I won’t be able to get out of here, does that mean that I would pump my pups out in this pack?
No, I won’t let that happen. I would first try to regain my energy enough for me to walk and run away from here. Also, I need to observe and gather data on the structure of this place.
I didn't know how many days passed by but Rem would constantly visit me, making sure I was still here and alive.
He would stay seated on the chair beside the bed and chat with me for a few minutes. And when he knew that I wouldn’t respond t his silly little talks, he would leave me, knowing he was only looking like a fool talking to himself.
But now, he was glancing at my belly and he scowled, “Wait a minute, your belly seems to be growing a lot these days… how many weeks are you pregnant now?”
“I am not sure…” I responded honestly because really, I wasn’t able to keep track of time here. But I guess it must have been a month since I last knew of it…
He nodded, leaving for a moment and then returning with another companion behind him. An old man.  I am guessing this is their pack healer. 
The pack healer then started to check my belly and tried to do a few tests. 
All the time, he was gasping in shock and would look at me in pity. He would then ask to talk to Rem outside and they would discuss my health.
When Rem returned, I was oo curious about what the pack healer told him.
“What? How is my body? My pups?”
“they are…fine. I am not supposed to say things exactly but, try to get more rest, Arya.”
“I won’t get more rest if you are acting suspicious. I am asking you clearly about my health, I have the right to know what my condition is.”
He sighed, “I’ll tell you tomorrow.” 
“Where’s that man?>”
“You’re still not healed properly yet. You still need time to talk with him.”
“I can handle it. I want to ask him things.”
“No. You will get stressed out. this will be bad for the pups.” 
I can feel that even though he betrayed his twins, Rem still cares for the pups living inside me. He’s protective not to hurt me, so I guess I can be thankful for that.
 “You need to choose who to save, your babies or yourself?”
“My babies.”
“No.” 
“What is the commotion?”
“Alpha Leomord.” Rem bowed and I was silent. I was watching the man who claims to be my father…Alpha Leomord is his name.
I scoffed, I refuse to believe that.
“She has been looking for you and wanting to talk to you, but you were busy and her body still needs time to recover…”
“I can make time for my daughter now..” He then looked at me, “Hello Arya…good evening… I apologize for my rudeness and Rems’ behavior if we ever offended you.” He sat down on the chair that Rem was sitting at earlier while Rem walked to the door to leave us and give us privacy. 
“Offended me? Oh, kidnapping me to your pack is not offending at all, and even hitting my mate.” I said sarcastically.
“I apologize if we had that impression to you, trust me, We should be the side that you’ll rake on.” He started to say, but every word o him felt like a position and I just et his words escape my ears.
“You must be confused about my sudden percent do let me explain everything to you.”
“I got your Rogue mother, pregnant…when I was just starting as an alpha. At our time, you and your mother would be instanlty killed if word got out. So I tried to hide you by asking my Beta Aulus, to be your guardian. I owe him your life. If he hadn’t taken the bullet and got out of the pack to be with your mother and go start his rogue pack, then you and I must have been long dead.”
I was trying to make out his words, still processing his lies. I feel like his lying, but deep down, I also feel his sincerity in the way he explains it. 
“I am so sorry, Arya. I let you and your mother down, I shouldn't have dragged you and your mother into this mess.” 
“Mess? My life has been a mess for my whole life, and yet he dares to enter my life like this. I gulped, thinking about my mother, "And my mother?”
He took in a sharp breath, “She died as soon as she gave birth to you.”
“You are my heir now, and the pups you are carrying with Kai are the future heir to my pack. I am old, and I need your help.”
