Kaya’s POV.
The next morning, I wake up to someone tapping me on my wounded shoulder, shooting pain within me, and I snap my eyes open.
I distance myself from him when I see that it’s Kieran, staring back at me with curiosity lingering in his eyes.
I wanted to talk but didn’t know what to say until he pinches his jaw, “for someone who’s sleeping with three predators, you sleep too deep that you could be easily attacked.”
It seems he doesn’t expect a response from me, so he proceeds to change the conversation. “I brought you some sandwiches; does that sound familiar?”
An evil smirk stains his lips as he asks, knowing fully well what he’s doing to me with that question.
I stay still on the mat, waiting for how this will end. He drops the plate, huffing as I hear him mutter somet
22Kaya’s POV.With each passing second that we root deeper into the depths of the alley, my stomach is filled with blue butterflies.Melissa and I are grabbing each other’s hands; the aura of delight is obvious in our connection. When we are finally out of here, I’m sure I won’t be able to thank her enough.She really did give me a chance. She saved me from an eternity of pain. She didn’t have to, but she did, risking everything—risking her life.My jaw drops to the ground metaphorically at the sight before when we arrive at the end of the alley—it’s the woods.Oh, my... I cannot believe this. I’m actually inside the woods. I turn to my back to see the alley, now seeing that it’s a canal that leads into the woods. But I am amazed at how the gate is opened, not chained close.Our
23Kaya’s POV.Every fiber of my mind shatters into fragments at the realization before me. I still don’t want to believe, even when all odds are against Melissa.Regardless, she saved me. She took me away from these cruel monsters, although here they are, killing her slowly and effortlessly, and all my dreams are crushed.They’ve washed down the lane, and there’s nothing I can do but watch. My hands are still glued to my mouth, covering me as though if I should remove them, I’d really believe what is going on.Each second that passes reminds me of the reality of this scenery, even when, as much as possible, I am trying not to believe that this is real.Melissa, choking in her own voice, shows otherwise. This is not a dream. I haven’t escaped, and I cannot. I’m ruined. I can only imagine what’s about to happen t
24 Kaya’s POV. I thought wrong. It isn’t the end. They slide my legs off of the bed and position my face tight against the bed before Kade thrusts back inside, wrecking my hole even more. I’m panting hard and trying to hit him to slow down, give me a breathing space, but then he grabs my hands and locks them at my back only so he can puncture my core once again. It still doesn’t stop there. He wriggles his cock around my entrance before Kyle finally digs inside, widening me up like a balloon filled with an abrupt blow of air. My eyes roll to the back of my head as salty perspiration fills my forehead like a bead. The intimacy continues with ragged breathing from the brothers. I’m more than sore, having surrended myself wholly. I’m in between pleasure and pain once again. Suddenly, a wave starts gathering inside my cunt, tightening it more around Kyle’s dick. I can feel my walls aiming to crush, and he groans at it too. Then I feel something warm inside me, shooting inside—his s
I 25Kaya’s POV.This was the past. A time when I was innocent.“Papa, where are you?” My little angelic voice beamed into the room as I ran inside the cabin.My lips were parted wide enough to show my teeth, while my cheeks reddened from the hard blushes. Today was a beautiful day, and I had no worries.The small me stopped when I saw father in his study room, holding an ink feather in his hands, which he twirled around in the air. I was seven years old, yet I knew he was brooding, and that’s why he was doing that.“Today’s a perfect day, father. Come out. We are having a picnic. Come and help us. Mother has found a spot in the backyard that is so beautiful... I love the space and the trees, and the valleys that seem like they are at the end of the world, and the fogs that spread like small clouds.”He ran over to pick me up from the ground so he could place me on his shoulders, and he snickered at my words. “Oh, tell me that you and your brother have picked some apples for apple pie
263RD POV.The air whistles in the distance, and the middle of the woods is so dark that a normal eye would have seen nothing.Everything about the scenery subjects eerieness; however, in it lurk dangerous forces like the triplets.In the middle stands Kade, staring ahead at the broken branch. His patience remains stagnant and unwavering, awaiting what’s to be expected.His jaw twitches, a stern look fixated on his face. His brothers faces aren’t any different. They look serious and stoic.Even the nature around them dwells in the aura they seep into, a shallow that commands every will.Their eyes picked up on a sound all of a sudden, causing Kyle to tick his face towards all distances. With their minds linked together, he did not have to call the attention of his brothers before they felt what he had felt as well.&nb
27Kaya’s POV.I am shaken in my station, unable to move or shift, and I do as told.Standing upright, I am bare in front of the brothers. For whatever the cause, I do not feel ashamed being naked in front of them, even though my skin is now decorated with bruises, dark spots, some bumps, and unhealed wounds—oh, and fresh ones as well.Kade streams his fingers around my stomach, carefully letting his nails grow into talons that he pinches my skin with. The pain is mild, so I try not to whine at it. I just hope he doesn’t cut me and give me another wound.Kieran stands up from a chair and goes to my back, sniffing the air. “I smell your blood. What happened here?”Well, how do I put it?A welcome gift from their sex slaves. I’ve come to realize that those girls are the triplets sex slaves, looking radian
28Kaya’s POV.I have a black towel in my hands, which are shaking right now. I can’t even breathe well. It’s morning, and the light from the sun is radiating into the room, supposedly bringing me warmth, but all I feel inside me is a chill.I’m shivering, not from sickness but from a grasp of fear. It holds me like it’s some second personality, and I can’t help it.“I need to wash more. I need to wash more.” I’ve been whispering this to myself, or more like muttering the words to myself.As much as my skin is irritated, I have washed myself off of the scent of the triplet sweats and all of the sex.The icy sensation overwhelms me again, intoxicating my mind with bad thoughts, and I run back inside the shower. I am naked anyway, so I just walk under the sprinkling, warm water.I wash i
293RD POV.Kieran barges in out of nowhere, having the door slam against the wall against him. “I want results...answers. It’s a matter of days before we attack Alaric’s pack. We must conquer it!”Their two commanders bow their heads as Kieran walks over to the counter, a large timber table that is shaped as a sphere, and there are paper works placed on top of it.“What are these?” As he asks, the two commanders join him, pointing to each point on the work, revealing the plans.On the other hand, Kade proceeds inside with his hands placed behind him in a sharp outfit, as do his brothers. Kyle, as well, gaits in, except with a bottle of liquor in his hands.He gulps it down and goes to settle down on a chair.One of the commanders with short silver hair, messy on his head, begins the introduction: &ldqu
EPILOGUE ~A Few Years Later~ Following the sound of Kaya’s footsteps up the stairs, Yara and Nala snap their eyes open. Their sense of hearing is super heightened for seven-year-old pups, and knowing that their mother is coming for them, they jump out of bed. For Yara, she focuses on making the bed. Hurriedly, as she hurls the bedsheets into the air with such precision that the sheets fly in mid-air in their square shape, she hurries about gathering the pillows. Gravity makes the sheet fall, letting it settle back on the bed. Hastily, she has tucked it into the sides neatly with no roughness to be seen, then she places the pillows back on the bed. On Nala’s side, after she has run to lock the door, she’s using her legs to kick up their dirty clothes from the floor and her hands to pick up other dirt as well. Within a few seconds, she had finished cleaning the floor. The both of them smile at each other, two young wolves yet very powerful. Close to the room, Kaya senses the door
97Kaya’s POV.“Kaya,” my ears pick up on eerie voices, sinking into my head. A furrow wrestles on my face as I awaken to reality, and suddenly, I gasp when I feel the intensity of the voices when they call again. “Kaya.”My head snaps to the front, and there are three women at the end of the bed. They are in robes with the hood covering their faces, so I have no way of knowing if I recognize them or not.That aside, the aura they release sends chills down my spine, shaking me to my very core.“Who are you?” I ask with the nerves around my neck poking out.The women speak with raspy voices, an intent of darkness lurking behind each word. “You have seen our presence, great witch, because you made yourself come to our attention. Await your doom, for we shall come for you. And we do; the curse shall be back. You haven’t paid the right price, and we shall come for what is ours.”“Who are you? What do you want?” Although they dress entirely black, at the left chest area of their robes, I s
96Kaya’s POV.“Has anyone never been mated to three werewolves before?” I ask Luna Olivia, and she tsks in disagreement right before she glances at my reflection through the mirror.Olivia begins with a laugh, which results in a fixation of cease on the skin of my forehead. “Truth be told, a fidelity of love you are. I may be a Luna, but I learn a lot from you. I, for one, would have rejected three mates. It’d be a fucking confusion for me.”She isn’t being offensive, though. For the past few hours, we have been having a conversation about how I manage to accept the triplets, but for me, I just can’t say. I think it all has to do with love. Well, they say love is blind, so perhaps that is what I am.Perhaps unlike her, I do not see them as three beings but rather as one, and so far, each time I see the triplets, my inside runs with my heart beating fast. They make my hormones anxious, and my stomach erupts with blue butterflies.It is an intoxicating feeling.“But today is a big day,
95Kaya’s POV.The cold air fans onto my skin, seeping chills that would have my body shaking any other day, but lost deep into my thoughts, my senses aren’t very caring about my body.Disregarding the harsh weather, I remain on the balcony, staring ahead into the forest. Because of the absence of the moon in the sky and no light to reflect any radiating rays, it looks like a block of wall.Ever since I heard about the triplets dying on their thirtieth birthday, I couldn’t bring myself to enjoy today. There’s something about the feeling that has arisen since that time. It’s now deep into the night, and I just had to distance myself so I could attempt to cleanse my thoughts.I’m troubled. Honestly, a few months ago, I would have been happy. Hell, I even recall some times when I wished that the triplets never came back; that was the darkest time in my life when I wished them death. Now that I feel like that prayer is being answered, I’m worried why nature keeps punishing me, or better y
94Kaya’s POV.It’s a big night.The triplets are throwing a feast in celebration of their pack and the neighboring ones, working together to attain more peace and harmony. Every day, we walk closer to a blissful moment.The kingdom is thrown into disturbance, with maids running about to get things rightly done. I can feel the heat in the atmosphere, as something like this has not happened before, and the triplets must have given orders to have their plans executed without any flaw.Presently, I am standing in front of the mirror, staring at my own reflection, and something seems missing from my dress.“Elegant and glamorous.” I state the theme of the night according to the instructions given to me by Chester. That guy always finds a way to inconvenience me one way or another.My dress is eye-catching, and I have no doubt I’d capture all attention in the space. However, I can’t exactly place where there is a fault as I stare at my chest, narrowing my eyes from my forehead to my nostri
93Two months later.Kaya’s POV.Shuffling on the bed as my consciousness awakens back to life, my hands touch the side of the bed and feel nothing there. Then, I shift to the other side, still feeling no presence on the bed with me.My eyebrows furrow deeply as I rub my eyes and sit with my back against the headboard.“Kade?” I call into the muteness of the room, only to be replied to with silence. Pouting just before I yawn, I blink rapidly and want to roll down the bed, calling once again, “Kieran?” There’s still no answer, “Kyle?” And that’s when I realized that I was naked.“Oops,” I laugh at myself and quickly take off the robe next to the bed on a bedside table. The weather is chilling this morning, so darting my eyes to the end of the walls, I cast a whispering spell whose effect lit up the candles.My eyes are still wandering around the room, looking for the triplets. It’s been two months now, and almost every night, I find myself back in their bed after many times of having
92Kaya’s POV.One month later.The rays of the sun shine into the room, blessing me with an aura that is needed for the day. Each day is like one that I have never seen before.Each day that passes, I find more peace inside me, and my mental health has never been finer. I smile and open my eyes on the bed, having woken up for the past few minutes or so, but I’m too tired to get out of bed.And then, I suddenly remember that there’s a meeting today, and the triplets have asked me to be present. Although, they didn’t tell me what it was about, they did agree that I’d be surprised, and I shall like to be surprised today.“Who doesn’t like surprises?” I howl as I roll out of bed, replying to my own thoughtful question.Giggling as I walk into the bathroom, I head to take my bath and finish with the morning routine. There’s much to do to get myself ready for the day.Soon, in a few minutes, I am ready to go outside, but I take one last look in the mirror to see my reflection. Squinting my
913rd POV.They don’t know what to do or how to receive the truth. When people say that the truth hurts, it’s never been something that the triplets experienced because they were never weak.But these last few weeks?It hurts so much ever since they gave their hearts out for love. “Love is indeed a punishment that we accept because we are defaulted to,” but the triplets have never been the ones to retire to that.“Love is a weakness. Love is a curse, portrayed as a gift. Love is a pain that disguises itself as pleasure, just so we don’t realize how hurtful it has wounded us until it has broken our hearts. Love hurts us continuously, yet we embrace it. Love is a pain. And most of all, love is so powerful it locks you in continuous pain of betrayal and dependence, and you still crave for it.”“Why?” Kieran whispers as they all stop in front of their dying uncle.Jared’s body is still wilting, becoming more and more dead over time. He can’t move any part of his body anymore, and he’s ju
90Kaya’s POV.“You bitch. What the fuck are you doing here?” Jared curses at me, his teeth gritting, and I raise one of my brows.Wow. I’m surprised. I know he’s got a big mouth naturally, but after what he has just done to his nephews, he has acquired a very big mouth at that.He doesn’t seem to have any remorse or something of the sort. He looks perfectly okay, and if I hadn’t appeared here, he might still be flashing his teeth as the triplets walk one step closer to their deaths.“You don’t seem bitter at the fact that your nephews are dying?” I say as I shift my eyes to them. Kade’s body has weakened like the other time when Chester and I saved him from the hands of Olivia and the other alphas. His eyes are reddened from being strained by the poison.It must have been a strong one, and I wonder why Jared would be keeping such poison all this time just to get rid of the last ones he could call family. I don’t expect less since he was even the one who killed their mother, and I sha
