85Kaya’s POV.What am I doing here?“What is this?” I ask my thoughts when I see Kade and Kyle come to stand with my frame being put in their middle, and Kade comes to stand right in front of me.“Our body is still too weak to communicate with you in the physical world, so we made use of the mate bond since it’s a powerful link.” While Kade explains, I wonder why they would do that.“And what’s the use?” I ask, my voice showing how much I am disinterested in any conversation with the triplets. I may be fixing my mind and working to be better on my own, but trust me, there’s a larger part of me that still doesn’t want to talk to these monsters, because that’s still what I see them as.“This is the only good memory we have with you so far.” When Kyle says, I shift my face towards him. He’s being serious, but I still roll my eyes. “I know, it’s very bad of us.”“Thank you for what you did today. You didn’t need to.”“Yes, but tell that to Chester. He’s very good at convincing a person o
86Kaya’s POV.I’ve always loved that moment after winter. The sun is high up in the sky again. The dark clouds leave for the return of a clear sky, which gives the oceans a beautiful reflection of blue colours. It’s always fun to just go outside and see the elegance of everything, and that’s what Chester meant for me when he said we should ride out.At first, I thought we were going to take horses, but he’s got a better idea in mind.“Sorry!” I shrill, my voice at the top of my lungs, as I apologize to a woman’s potatoes, which Chester’s wolf just hit and crashed to the ground.He has changed into his wolf’s form and asked me to ride on his back. I’ve never been on a wolf before, but starting with his, I am more than happy, as I have been for the past month now.We are running through the lower town, causing chaos on our way and frightening everyone in the path.“Sorry!” Again, I apologize. I can’t count the many times I’ve said that.Chester’s wolf fault, to be honest.But this is f
87Kaya’s POV.I stand so close to the windows that I stare through them to the outside. The sky has darkened in response to the sadness in the aura, choking the whole kingdom.As I narrow my eyes, lost in deep thoughts, I watch the scene before me unfold.In the distance are the pack members. They each have a candle in their hands, surrounding the compound of the kingdom in a circular shape. In the very middle is the body of Emilie, the clone, thought to be the triplets’ mother. She’s dressed elegantly like the royal that she is, with a flag that bears the mark of the triplets’ kingdom’s crest on her chest. She’s placed on a pyre, ready to be burned.And not far from her are the triplets, who are standing with a torch in their hands. Even from this distance of mine, I can still feel the weakness in their muscles and nerves and the way they struggle to stand rooted to the ground. But that aside, I can also feel the sadness in their being.It could never have been easy. After all the p
883RD POV.As Kaya is surrounded by the triplets, she allows herself to sink into their presence. She closes her eyes, immersing herself in their essence, allowing it to make her moan and give her the pleasure she has always been craving.This time around, the sensation is much more intense than the other times because they’ve found common ground. Kieran kisses her hard as he places one of his hands at the back of her head.He’s hungry, and he doesn’t hide it in his actions. Unexpected by Kaya, Kieran’s hand slides down to her core, and she gasps. He quickly takes the chance and kisses her more and more. The moment she opens her lips wider, he dips in, sharing his saliva with her, and he moans softly on his own, his beast on the peak as the both of them enjoy the affection coming from Kaya.The brothers notice that there’s no part of her that’s rejecting them. She isn’t fighting her body this time around. Her mind is in alliance with her actions, and it turns them on more than they c
893RD POV.An orchestra plays in the background. The music reaches each person’s ears with such melody that it hypnotizes the brain into thinking that as it tunes softly and slowly, time is also moving in such accordance.On the head seat, did Kade adjust himself, staring ahead. His calm mind is relaxed to see how things will turn out tonight, and he’s ready to accept any truth, as he doesn’t want to be fooled anymore.Kieran, on the other hand, has his jaw resting on his palm as he stares down at the table. His mind is a battlefield, and he’s baffled at all that is happening. He still doesn’t want to believe that even a fragment of it could be right, but he’s got no choice, and he can only wonder how much he’d be heartbroken if things turned out the other way.Lastly, Kyle, who’s already had too much to drink, won’t think of anything, and he’s still craving more. He hasn’t got much going for him in his thoughts. He’s just looking at different possibilities.Then, a loud creak reache
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
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
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
