The Alpha Mistress Has A Triplet.

Chapter 1- Gold Digger

It was hard to believe what I was hearing. "Doctor, are you saying I'm five weeks pregnant?" I asked, my voice trembling with excitement and disbelief.

The male doctor nodded, his eyes glinting with wolfish intensity. "Yes, Miss Edward. It says here in the test result. Congratulations." His polite smile transformed into a feral grin.

My heart raced, thoughts turning to Derrick, my boss and fiancé. A powerful Alpha of the Night Pack, he would be overjoyed to learn that we would have a pup.

Leaving the doctor's office, I was filled with an overwhelming sense of happiness and hope. His advice on ensuring a healthy pregnancy for my first trimester as a first-time mum was a welcome reminder that my dreams were finally coming true.

As I walked down the busy hospital hallway, a broad smile lit up my face. Life had finally turned in my favor after years of hardship. I had been abandoned by my mother at the orphanage and shuffled from one foster home to another. But now, I was engaged to Derrick, a strong Alpha of the Night Pack, and we were having a pup.

My life had been far from easy for the past twenty-five years. But then, I landed a job at the Night Pack Empire, a position that seemed like a gift from the heavens. As Derrick Ortega's assistant, I fell in love with my employer, and to my surprise, he reciprocated those feelings when he discovered we were fated mates.

Our relationship blossomed, and I felt like the happiest personal assistant in the world. Being with Derrick, an Alpha of immense power and strength, was a dream come true. And now, we were starting a family together.

When Derrick fell ill for the last four months and needed a kidney transplant, the decision to donate one of mine was an easy one. Love, pure and unwavering, fueled my desire to save the love of my life, and I readily underwent the procedure without hesitation.

His parents promised me that I would be married to their son to save his life immediately after he recovered, but I would have donated my kidney regardless. I loved him beyond words, and nothing could have stopped me from offering him the gift of life, the chance to continue our journey together. Derrick had a crisis one month after the successful transplant and was readmitted.

As I drew closer to Derrick's hospital room, my mind was racing with ideas on how to reveal the happy news. His discharge day coincided with our engagement announcement, and it seemed the stars aligned in our favor.

"Should I make it a grand surprise after our engagement has been announced?" I whispered to myself, a mischievous grin playing on my lips. The thought of seeing his reaction, of watching the love of my life filled with joy and excitement, was too tempting to resist.

A smile fluttered as I imagined the Ortega family's reaction to our news. "His parents will be ecstatic to become grandparents," I giggled softly.

The timing couldn't have been more perfect. Derrick's discharge from the hospital, our engagement announcement, and now, the surprise news of our pregnancy. It was as if the universe had conspired to create this beautiful moment for us.

I stepped into Derrick's room, filled with love and excitement, eager to share this moment with him. without a knock, my heart fluttering with anticipation. "Hey babe, are you ready to leave?" I asked my voice light and filled with excitement.

My gaze drifted to the packed bags on the bed, but I couldn't ignore the presence of Derrick's parents, who were also in the room. Their eyes turned to me, curious and watchful.

My eyes fell upon a striking figure in the room, a woman I didn't recognize. She was tall and curvy, her skin fair and radiant, exuding an alluring energy that any man would find irresistible. I felt a pang of unease in my chest, wondering why she was there.

And oddly, the lady's presence didn't sit well with me, which made my smile slowly disappear.

"And who is this?" The lady asked Nana Elizabeth, Derrick's mother, with disgust, lacing her tone and etching on her features.

"Derrick's former personal assistant. The gold digger. Ignore her." Nana Elizabeth replied, eyeing me with contempt. The sudden change in the atmosphere baffled me.

Last night, when I was together with Derrick and his parents in this same room, they were so warm to me. It was the engagement announcement that was discussed until everyone left and had planned to meet up here in the morning for Derrick's discharge.

So what changed? What had transpired overnight?

"Gold digger? Former personal assistant? I'm sorry, Mrs Ortega, but I don't understand what you say about me. What's happening?" I asked, making sure my voice sounded firm instead of the nerve wreck I was on the inside.

"What don't you understand, you this cheap slut?!" Nana Elizabeth yelled, making me slightly jump in my skin.

I felt a mixture of confusion and anger course through me. "That's not true!" I insisted, my voice faltering slightly. "I'm not a gold digger. Derrick and I are getting married; that's what he wants. Why are you saying this now?"

The silent, smoldering look in Derrick's eyes cut like a knife, and I knew he was seething with rage. But the direction of his anger was unclear. Was it aimed at me or his mother?

Nana Elizabeth's harsh words fell like blows, each striking a cruel, icy chill into my heart.

"I'd rather my son stay single forever than get married to a bitch like you!" she screamed, her wolf-like eyes blazing with fury.

My confusion turned to outrage, my wolf stirring inside me as I prepared to defend myself against these baseless accusations.

What has gone wrong? I was overly sure that I hadn't done anything to make me become a gold digger. I have always been content with what I had and have never asked Derrick for money. All I do is accept his generosity.

"Derrick, please tell me you do not believe this; this must be some sort of prank," I stuttered, my voice cracking as I approached him. My heart was pounding, my emotions raw and exposed.

I reached out to him, desperate to feel the warmth of his touch, the reassurance of his presence.

"Derrick, please talk to me." I reached where Derrick was sitting on the hospital bed and grabbed his hand.

"Don't you fucking touch me!" he snarled, his voice dripping with venom as I stumbled back from the force of Derrick's push.

Tears pricked my eyes, but I fought them back, not wanting to show weakness in front of Derrick or his mother. I couldn't understand how things had gone so wrong, why Derrick was treating me like this when just hours ago we had been so in love, so eager to share our future.

That single action and that single phrase crushed me wholly. The dam in my eyes broke into tears, immediately streaming down my cheeks. I couldn't still understand why all of this was happening, especially on a day that was supposed to be one of the best days of my life.

"Why?" I sobbed, my voice hitching as Nana Elizabeth yanked me toward her by my hair.

The pain that exploded in my scalp was nothing compared to the betrayal I felt from Derrick's rejection and his mother's cruelty.

"You're nothing but trash," she hissed, her breath hot and angry against my cheek. "I'm so glad we discovered your true identity before you could marry into our family."

The words stung like salt on a wound, and I fought to stay upright, refusing to give her the satisfaction of seeing me crumble.

"Why are you doing this to me? I– I did not do anything wr-wrong." I stuttered, trying to free myself from Nana's tight hold around my hair. But I ended up falling to the ground.

"Here's what you fucking did wrong!" Derrick got up and shoved the iPad to my face.

My vision swam with tears, but I could still make out the damning words on the computer screen. An email, supposedly sent from my address to Derrick's father, demanded ten million dollars in exchange for my kidney donation. A ransom note, a threat, a web of lies woven by some unknown hand to destroy the love that Derrick and I shared.

"This isn't from me," I gasped, my voice thick with desperation. "I didn't send this. Someone must have hacked my account."

My protests fell on deaf ears as Derrick chuckled darkly, his eyes filled with a loathing I never thought I'd see directed at me.

"Oh, so this isn't your email address then?" he mocked, his tone laced with contempt. "You didn't send this to my father?"

I shook my head vigorously, tears streaming down my face. "No, I didn't send that. Someone is trying to frame me," I pleaded, my voice breaking with desperation.

But Derrick's gaze was like ice, brutal and unforgiving, refusing to see the truth.

What happened to the man who loves me, dotes on me and promises never to leave me?

"No, it wasn't me," I cried out, my voice hoarse with desperation as I clutched Derrick's legs, pleading for him to believe me.

But the woman pulled me back to the floor, gripping my shirt like steel. "Let my man go, you bitch!" she spat, her eyes gleaming with hatred. "Don't you dare touch him again with your filthy hands.? She pulled me back and slapped me hard on the face.

I struggled against her grip, desperation, and confusion clouding my mind. "Please, please believe me," I begged, my voice cracking.

But the woman's grip only tightened, her nails digging into my skin. "You're nothing but a lying gold digger. You'll never have him," she sneered, her breath reeking of malice.

I struggled to free myself, but she held me as she turned me to face her.

Before I could recover from the hard impact on my face or say anything, the lady spoke in a more mocking tone that made my stomach recoil.

" I think you need to know who you are up against, little bitch; I'm Katherine Rodriguez, the billionaire Alpha's only daughter and heiress," she announced, her voice dripping with smug superiority. "And I'm Derrick Ortega's chosen mate, his future wife. So you see, you never stood a chance."

-Disappear

The words stung like a slap in the face, twisting my gut and squeezing the breath from my lungs.

"What do you mean?" I rasped, my voice hoarse with shock and disbelief.

"Katherine is right. She's my new fiancée," Derrick spat, his eyes blazing with contempt. "She's the woman I'm going to marry. Upright, not shady, and won't cheat on me or lie to my face."

His words were like poison, burning my heart. They made me feel sad and scared and shredding the last remnants of hope I held onto.

Tears spilled down my face as I struggled to find the words to express my pain.

"You can't do this, Derrick," I sobbed. "You can't just call off our engagement and then get engaged to another woman. Not after all we've been through together."

I was heartbroken and confused. Why was it so easy for Derrick to turn his back on me? Why couldn't he trust me? Why didn't he give me a chance to explain? The questions burned in my mind like a flame, bringing me pain and doubt.

"I can do whatever I want," Derrick yelled. "Especially if it means leaving someone like you. You disgust me."

He showed me a picture on his iPad. It was a picture of me with another man.

"You cheated on me, Malisa," he screamed, his eyes blazing with fury. "How dare you betray me! How dare you do this and not feel sorry! You thought I wouldn't find out?"

I was shocked and scared. I didn't know what to say. The picture wasn't real, but I knew accurate wouldn't believe me.

"I didn't cheat on you," I cried, feeling helpless. "That man is just a friend from college. We coincidentally met in an eatery....."

But Derrick didn't believe me. His mother, Nana Elizabeth, crushed any hope I had.

"You're lying!" she yelled. "Derrick's friend saw you go into the same room together. Derrick, don't believe her. She's just a slut."

Derrick's eyes were filled with anger and doubt. I wanted him to see the truth in my eyes. I wanted him to believe me. But I knew he wouldn't.

"No!" I screamed, my voice hoarse from crying. "That's not true. You have to believe me. I love you."

But Derrick's face was hard and cold. He didn't mark me, so he couldn't smell if I had been with someone else.

"Get out," he said, his voice cold as ice. "I never want to see you again."

"Stay away from us," Katherine hissed, hurrying after Derrick. "My love, wait for me. Don't strain yourself," she called to him.

I tried to get up and run after Derrick, but Nana Elizabeth stopped me. She grabbed my hair and pulled me back, making me fall on my butt.

I cried out in pain and frustration, but she just laughed. "You're not going anywhere," she sneered. "You're nothing but a worthless, cheating slut. Now stay out of our lives forever."

The pain and betrayal cut deep, stabbing like a dagger in my heart.

"Ah," I groaned as I fell, my eyes meeting Nana Elizabeth's. Casper, her husband, stood silently behind her, observing the scene without a word.

"See how low you are," Nana Elizabeth spat at me. "That's exactly where you belong, you wretched bitch."

I couldn't believe it. I thought she liked me, that we were like a mother and daughter. But it was all a lie. She had been pretending all this time. Everything was a lie.

"You'll never be a Luna," Nana Elizabeth sneered. "Not to my son. He's an Alpha, and you're not good enough. You're not worthy of his status or his love. You'll never be anything but a pathetic, low-class Omega."

"What did I do to deserve this?" I demanded, my voice trembling with rage and despair. "I never sent that email. I never cheated on Derrick. I loved him with all my heart. I showed my unconditional love to him and to you. So why am I being treated this way? Why am I being falsely accused?"

I tried to stop the tears, to be strong and confront Nana Elizabeth and Casper, but it was no use. They had already made up their minds. They had already condemned me.

But my heart and will was too broken for me to cease those tears from gushing out.

"You thought a woman like you could marry my son?" Nana Elizabeth jeered, her laugh dripping with mockery. "A poor woman with no background or family. You thought you could become part of our prestigious family, the richest family in the world? You're nothing but a filthy Omega, not worthy of our status or wealth. You must be foolish and stupid to think you had any chance with my son." She mocked me with a laughter that sounded so fake, but nonetheless, still jabbed at my sore heart.

"But you promised me. You approved of our relationship and gave us your blessings. You told me it was your way of appreciating me for donating one of my kidneys to Derrick. You promised that he will marry me." i pointed out those words Nana Elizabeth had used to cajole me.

Was I a fool to have believed Derrick and his parents? Was I foolish to have blindly trusted theunquestioninglyWas I stupid to have believed in love and fated mate?

"Because I had to make sure you donated that kidney. I had to make sure that my son wouldn't die. And if you truly love him like you said, then why are you throwing it at our faces now? You willingly signed the papers. We didn't force you. So don't make it soundplease please please like you were tricked. You did it out of love. We don't owe you anything." She said, clicking her tongue. There was no single pity in her eyes.

I was still shocked to the bones that everyone had suddenly changed. The smiles and warmth that used to paint their faces were replaced bywereowls and hatred. They suddenly became new and distant people overnight.

And I couldn't help but couldn't this was all planned. A plan to deceive me.

The most painful truth was the baby growing inside of me. A baby that survived the removal of one of my kidneys. A baby conceived in deception, now stuck in a mess that I didn't create.

Did they even understand the consequences of their actions? Did they care about the life they had ruined, the love that had been torn apart, the unborn child now caught in the crossfire?

The ache in my heart spread like a disease, turning my soul to ash and my hope to dust.

"So was this your plan?" I couldn't help but burst into tears again. It seemed like the only outlet for my immense pain at the moment. Else, it could choke me up. And I feared for my baby.

"All you need to get into that thick and poor skull of yours is that your engagement with my son has ended. Your sack letter will be sent via an email in less than r. And this means you no longer have any attachment to the Ortega family. You will get your severance pay accordingly. But don't expect any more from us. Let my son be happy with his new mate and soon-to-be Luna." Nsoon-to-beeth said.

"Katherine Rodriguez is perfect for my son," Nana Elizabeth boasted, her words like poison daggers. "A woman of his caliber. Not an Omega whore like you, trying to leech off him. Just do me a favor and GET OUT OF OUR LIVES!"

She sauntered out of thstrolledeaving me alone with Casper, her husband, and my broken dreams. Her words echoed in my mind like a haunting melody of hate and betrayal, leaving me bruised and battered.

A bunch of emotions were bustling through my entire being. Perplexed, Perplexed was still a bit shameless, peg me to beg Alpha Casper for help. Any slight chance of hope that could be lightened in this darkest time of her life.

"Please, please, I love Derrick. Help me talk to him. Please, I can't let him go. I didn't send that email. I also didn't cheat on him. I swear I didn't. I love him too much to betray him like that." I sobbed, grabbing onto Derrick's father's arm.

"There's only one thing I can help you with." Alpha Casper said to me, and it made me perk up. His tone was ever soft, but there was no life in his eyes. He had always seemed like a living dead, even as a retired billionaire and an aged Alpha.

"Please, tell me., I said in a desperate tone as I felt like there might still be a chance to prove my innocence and get back together with Derrick.

"I can help you disappear forever."

Chapter 3 - Triplet?

"Disappear forever?" I mumbled, confusion and fear clouding my mind.

Alpha Casper remained stoic, his expression unreadable as always. "Exactly what I said, Tina Edward," he answered, his voice as cold as ice. "Disappear. Leave this city, this country, this world if you have to. Never show your face around Derrick again."

His words were like a death sentence, leaving me shaken to the core.

"You want me to disappear?" I asked, desperation creeping into my voice. "But what about Derrick? Don't you want to help me get back with him? I thought you were on my side."

Casper remained composed, his voice level and steady. "Trust me, Tina, I'm helping you by helping you disappear. If you really love yourself, you'll leave this city today without question. It's for your own good."

His words were like a bucket of ice water, chilling me to the bone. It became clear that no one would believe me, no one would help me.

This, however, angered Me.

"How can you do this to me?" I sobbed, my voice filled with raw emotion. "You all used me, and now you turn your backs on me. It's not fair! I don't deserve this!"

Alpha Casper remained unmoved, as if I were merely a problem to be solved. "I will wire you 5 million dollars. You will use it to leave the country tomorrow," he declared, ignoring my pleas.

"I don't want your money," I spat, my blood boiling. "Is this what Nana Elizabeth ordered you to do? To give me money so that you can have more evidence against me, so that you can show Derrick how greedy I am?"

Alpha Casper's expression didn't change, his eyes still emotionless and cold. "Do as you wish, Tina," he said. "But know that this is your last chance to escape."

My heart thundered in my chest as I stared at the man before me. I wanted to rage and fight, to scream until my lungs gave out.

Once again, the rich defeated the poor and defenseless.

"This is the best thing you can do for yourself. But if you refuse, then do whatever you please. Just know that I tried to help." Alpha Casper said and left the room as well. But as he got to the door, he turned back briefly and shook his head at me.

An act that loudly meant, "I pity you."

I was alone, the walls of the hospital room feeling like a prison cell. I let loose a flood of tears, unable to process the devastating events that had turned my perfect life upside down.

Just hours ago, I was celebrating the future with the family that had welcomed me with open arms. Now, I was cast aside like a worthless object, accused and abandoned.

My mind raced with confusion and pain, my heart shattering into a million pieces. I felt lost and powerless, like a lone wolf in a forest of uncertainty.

How did I not see the red flags? Was I that blinded by love to see what has really been going on around me? Was i that gullible to have been fooled and used?

"It makes no sense." I sobbed, feeling like the most stupid woman to exist.

"Was I that desperate for love that I couldn't see through their fake smiles and affections?" O mumbled through my tears, my heart was thrumming too fast like it could explode in any second.

"Did he ever love me?" I queried, but there was no one to give me an answer.

"I had the best news for you today. We were supposed to become three." i said, now rubbing my stomach in a circular motion.

"Baby, it's just us now. It's just us against the world." I wiped my cheeks, trying to stop crying like a fool. "Mummy has to be strong for you. I'm sorry for letting this happen to you. Every child deserves a good mother and a good father." I let out a loud exhale and got up to my feet.

Standing up straight, my legs trembled as dizziness flashed through my vision, causing me to lose balance, but I was able to quickly lean on the wall before I fell to the floor.

"Damn it!" I cussed out loud. It was at this moment that I realized I can't just give up because of my unborn child.

"I could just tell Derrick that I'm pregnant. Wouldn't that make him soften and give me a chance to explain myself?" I mumbled to myself, feeling slightly hopeful.

But that hope instantly died down when i realized that the entire family was against me. His mother specifically doesn't want me in her son's life. So wouldn't they just accuse me and say the child belongs to another man?

This realization made my heart crushed entirely as I sloppily dragged her feet until i got out of the hospital. People kept staring at me as I was sure I looked like someone whose world has burnt down. And they weren't wrong.Because once I got outside the hospital, I sat on the stairs and cried until my tears dried out.

Gazing at the sky and around me, I realized that it was already dark. That meant I had spent the whole day crying and moping. I felt weak to the bones as my stomach made a growling sound that signified that I was hungry.

"Baby, let's go home." Malisa mustered up her inner strength and began slowly walking away from the hospital to where she parked her car in the parking lot.

I forced myself to stand, summoning the last of my strength to leave the hospital and walk to my car in the parking lot.

As I reached the car, a strange man approached me. "Are you Tina Edward?" he asked, his voice heavy with uncertainty.

I nodded, my heart pounding in my chest. What could this man possibly want from me? Was he another pawn in the game of lies that had been played against me?

"Who are you?" I asked, my voice trembling with fear.

"I was sent by Derrick Ortega to retrieve the company property you've been using," the man explained, his expression cold and professional. "Your apartment has been cleared, and I'm here to collect the car. If you would please give me the key."

His words were like a punch to the gut, taking away the last shred of dignity I had left. I was being erased from Derrick's life, as if I had never existed.

"This can't be happening," I whispered, my heart shattering as my world crumbled around me.

The man took the keys and drove off with the car, leaving me with nothing but my luggage and the shattered remnants of my life. I wanted to cry, but I had no tears left. I stood frozen in place, lost and confused, with nowhere to turn.

How had it come to this? How had everything changed so quickly?

With no close friends, I was left homeless. I checked my phone to see if my severance pay had been sent. But there was nothing like that.

"Just wow," I muttered, my mind reeling from the sheer absurdity of my situation.

Wasn't it enough that they destroyed my engagement? Wasn't it enough that they slandered and belittled me? Wasn't it enough that they used me for my kidney? Now they were taking away everything I had left.

My heart swelled with pain, aching with the unfairness of it all. Hadn't I endured enough in my life, running away from an abusive foster parent, struggling to make something of myself?

"Don't I deserve to be happy?" my heart swelled up with pain and frustration.

"Apparently, you don't," a voice said behind me, cold and fearful. Something hard pressed against my back, and my heart raced.

"If you make a sound, I won't hesitate to shoot you," the voice threatened.

My eyes widened in fear and my mind raced, but before I could react, everything went dark.

I opened my eyes, my surroundings disorienting and foreign. Two men sat in a boat, floating on a river, but I had no idea where I was.

In a burst of desperate courage, I cried out, "Help!" But my plea was met with the ominous click of a gun. The sound froze my blood, silencing my screams.

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I looked around in the darkness. There was no one to hear me, no one to save me from this nightmare.

I trembled as the men stared at me, cold and ruthless. "W-who are you? Why am I here?" I stammered, my voice shaking with fear.

The man with the gun smiled, a twisted grin that sent chills down my spine. "Those are irrelevant questions, Miss Edward. You should be blaming yourself for getting pregnant by Derrick Ortega. If you hadn't, you wouldn't be in this situation."

He traced the gun along my face, the cold metal making my skin crawl.

His entire look with his accomplice that sat behind him looked dangerous.

But what shocked me was the fact that these strange men knew about my pregnancy that I was yet to tell anyone.

"How did you know I'm pregnant?" I managed to whisper, despite the panic that gripped my heart.

"Not all doctors can be trusted with secrets, can they?" The man chuckled darkly. "And I was sent to make sure you never surface again. This river will be your grave."

The gun pressed against my forehead, cold and ruthless, and my heart hammered in my chest.

"Please don't kill me," I begged, my voice trembling. "I'll leave the country. I'll disappear. I'll never come back, I promise." I clutched my stomach, tears streaming down my face as I pleaded for my life and the life of my unborn child.

"Too late, Miss Edward. We don't take chances with loose ends," the man sneered, his lips curling into a twisted smirk.

The silence that followed was deafening. Then, the man revealed one last, chilling piece of information.

"And one last thing you should know, According to the doctor, you're carrying triplets."

And the next sound that was heard across the open air of the river was a loud gunshot.
