Daphne’s POV“Is there a reason why you are avoiding your mates?” I heard Dad ask as he entered my room.“Damn, Ivory, When was the last time you took your bath?” He teased before opening up the curtains, revealing the starry night.I stirred but said nothing to him, “you would rather not sign the partnership deal?” He added, “unlike the last time, they seem more desperate to see you this time Ivory”.“Can’t you command them to go or something?” I asked while I winced in guilt, it just was so weird for me now.“Did you use them to escape Alpha Ryder wrath?” Dad asked, and I imagined what they were thinking, did they really think that low of me?“Just leave me alone, Dad!” I exclaimed, and he sighed, “stop making them worried and beat themselves over whatever it is that you are thinking”.“It’s probably the partnership deal that I had promised to the triplets that have them worried” I said to myself as soon as I was sure I was all alone.“Is that what you really think of us, Vy?” Rory s
Daphne’s POV“What do you mean dad?” I asked, curiously.I wasn’t here from the beginning, but I was pretty sure no one here acknowledged this so-called brother that I was just hearing of for the first time.“Have you told me this story before, dad?” I asked as his face morphed into a frown, I was somehow scared that maybe he had told me before and expected me to remember.I still had an identity to keep and protect, especially with danger being attracted to me.He sighed, “I haven’t, your generation doesn’t know anything about my brother as no one really talked about him”.“So why is he promising to ruin you?” I asked curiously, sitting down after he did.“Well, we aren’t the typical loving brothers from the start and our story went way done”.“I’m less busy, dad,” I urged, sensing his reluctance to talk to me.“My elder brother is the well known rogue king and only a few of us know that he is my blood brother” he began with a sigh.“Ivory, trust me when I saw my blood is my greates
Daphne’s POVMy mouth hung open in shock at the union of these two vengeful people. There was no way that dad would be able to fight this alone!The rogue king, or should I say uncle, smirked before leaving me with Alpha Ryder.“Why the hell are you even doing this?” I asked Alpha Ryder, who was feeding his amusement with the real look on my face.My face was filled with so much pain and confusion as I stared at him. When Ray had said we had underestimated his dad, I thought it was something we could handle, but then this….this was way off.“You are very funny Ivy, I mean you had tricked my sons to release you and go against their dad, but you can’t figure out what my motive is”.“Well my motive doesn’t really matter but rather your uncle's motive is far much bigger and mind-blowing”.“How does it feel being someone else’s pawn in this game of power?” I taunted, leaning closer, so he’d hear what I was saying exclusively.“Anyway, don’t think you’d succeed with whatever you have in min
Dear Readers,How are you enjoying the story so far? I’d really appreciate it if you could drop reviews at each chapter.Our FL’s journey with the Caddels is yet to begin and we are already encountering enemies this dangerous.So Far, What are your thoughts about the book?Who is your favorite character?I’m forever team Daphne tho.I believe she has been through quite a lot and trust me when I say you aren’t even ready for the twists I’m about to add🙃Who is your favorite triplet so far?I’m I the only one in love with Rex Caddel?Who else wants to kill Andrew?Who else senses Ivory’s presence like I do😂😂😂
Daphne’s POVThere was no escape!With all these foul thoughts crowding my head, I was beginning to wish for two things more than ever, DEATH OR REDEMPTION!To find out that Andrew wasn’t who I thought he was at all was heartbreaking. He wasn’t the rebound I was hoping for, maybe if he had thought more of rescuing me from the hands of the Caddels grip rather than plotting my kidnapping, then who knows how fate would have played out?A part of me was grateful that he had to show me his true colors before my heart fell deeper then, it was quite obvious that my virginity meant nothing to him.He didn’t fight for me…for my heart.Why was it quite difficult to explain to this species of men that we love the attention and bask in the warmth of it… All this was just a plan from the beginning. All this while I had been prepped for this day… his aid to help me get my revenge, his love, the sex, and affection were all fake.I, Daphne or Ivory, whatever identity I was going to take after this wa
Daphne’s POV“No!” I screamed out as he sent two of his rogues at me, I could see rage in their eyes, making me realize they must have seen the dead body of their fellow mate.“Please somebody help!!” I screamed out with my heart thumping so hard against my chest. I was dragged back to the hut, I prayed for salvation.“Somebody!”“Anybody!”They seemed to care less about my screams, as though they were certain no one was coming. “Please Help Me! Save me” I screamed without a care in this world.Unlike when I was being held captive by the Caddels I knew they wouldn’t let me get hurt, but then this was a different scenario, I was in a different setting.No one her liked me…no one here was mated to me and could feel pain when I felt pain, I had killed one of their own, so whatever punishment he promised me was going to be bad.The fear kicked in more when I was pulled in a different direction from where I was held earlier on. My eyes caught Andrew staring straight at me with a foreign loo
Writer’s POV“What the fuck did she mean by help, Andrew?” Ray fumed as they all rushed towards an unconscious Ivory.He didn’t know how to feel upon seeing her and felt weird as the first word that escaped her mouth was that they save Andrew rather than excitement to seeing them.Rex helped her out and tried waking her up, but she didn’t seem to budge, but rather relaxed in his arms.Rory wanted her in his arms rather than Rex, but he knew this wasn’t the time to get jealous of his brother.He was more than happy to see her, upon finding out she was missing, he had hated himself for not creating any memories with her yet and was the one that He had watched his brothers, especially Rex, to create a more little more than just the Mate bond and Ray attempt to fix their strained bond while he stood in the shadows.Not only that, but he didn’t know if it was just him, but he feared getting so close to a woman after Daphne, the memory of losing her was still fresh, and Ivory's disappearanc
Daphne’s POV“You are awake” I heard someone whisper softly with a little tinge of excitement lying underneath.“Rex?” I called out softly and he hummed.It was all a dream, there was no way I had been free…with Andrew gone or whatever they had done to him, I knew I was in deep trouble when I opened my eyes.How dare I even imagine there could be salvation for me, I was stuck here, and all hopes have been lost too.“Ivory?” I heard him call out again, this time it sounded more like he was desperate for an answer, scaring me the more.“I’m sorry” I cried out softly.“I’m sorry I turned to run” I added, “please spare him, spare Andrew and take me”.I felt a warm hand on my shoulder making me burst into more hysterical tears, “don’t harm me please! No more whips!” I screamed, trying to remove the hands that gripped my shoulder.In the background, I heard soft whispers and then another voice said…this time I recognized it as my father.“Dad?” I called softly as I tried to locate where the
Daphne POVAs I ran towards the face approaching our pack mansion, the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders. I was no longer scared of being rejected, his face was as warm as ever, the moment I was close, his arms encircled me in a warm embrace. I could feel his heartbeat as I tightened my arms around him."You are the most stubborn child I ever had!" he laughed and I responded, "I am just a true reflection of you and your only child in case you've forgotten"There was a subtle look of admiration in his eyes and that gave me smile across my face. He seemed like a proud father."You got that right, now it's time for us to talk" he said, walking towards the pack house. The journey was ...serene, my father was sharing the news that had filled his days during my absence, it was like nothing had changed except that I was no longer naïve. He spoke of wars, betrayals and how he had handled everything, and I could not stop smiling. He was an Alpha indeed, strong and reliable. I remem
Daphne’s POVThe triplets tried their best not to pretend not to be present…it was almost as though they were trying to lessen the eyes waiting for me to speak.As I opened my mouth, despite my urge to talk…nothing came out.“I got this” I whispered to myself but I could feel my spirit dampen as reality hit me.I couldn’t and if by any chance I messed this up, it would make things harder for the triplets than it already is.“What do you want to tell them?” I heard Rex ask me through the link and I sighed before meeting his eyes.“What I feel as a fellow woman like them”.“Then do, show them who is Luna” he replied and I suddenly found my voice.I didn’t want to bore them with long talk but rather, the plan was to share what I felt as a woman to them and so I did.When I was done talking,I let out a sigh and met their eyes, silence loomed over us for a while before one of them slowly began clapping and soon there was an uproar of applause.The smiles I saw on their faces while they cla
Dearest Readers, Compliments of the season and I wish you all a Happy New Year to you all.

Your prayers would be appreciated as much as comments and votes too. I do hope you anticipate the incoming chapters and ride along with me to the end of this story. Thank you, signed: by Your humble author, Aya Starr.
Daphne's POVWith a sigh, I stirred and was hit with the ray of sunshine dancing into the room.I shit my eyes rightly before slightly opening them to adjust to the room's brightness.It took a while for me to get familiar with my surroundings. Slowly, the events that took place the night before filled my mind and a chuckle escaped my lips.Sleepy Ray was so damn sexy, caring and different… I remembered greedily wanting more of the Ray I had seen and hoped that it wasn't just a dream.“Glad to see you had something to smile about upon waking up” I heard someone groggily say, causing me to jerk upon realizing that I wasn't the only one present in the room.Ray stood with a tray in his hands, watching me with an amused look on his face.“I don't think I appreciate being teased so early in the morning” I whined, causing him to laugh softly and sit down beside me.“Early morning, you say?” He teased, putting the tray down.“Good to know your morning starts by 2pm baby girl”, I turned brig
Daphne’s POVThe night was cold and weirdly starry but so many thoughts flooded my head making it hard for me to go to sleep.The disbelief of everything that was happening made it difficult to rest.From my dad not being the Alpha King anymore to being back home and together with my mates.My soft footsteps kissed the cold ground as I wandered around. The Triplets were fast asleep already and judging from the meetings that were held this evening, I knew they needed all the rest they could get, so I chose not to let my insomnia disturb them.It would have been pretty nice to spend the night in their arms, talking about the future we imagine, but then I also longed for some peace and quiet.And just as though the universe could sense I would rather not be disturbed, the night whispered soothing words to me as it welcomed me to the garden.One thing that amused me was the way the brothers had handled their pack in our absence… This same pack was what the late Alpha Ryder wanted them to
Daphne’s POVA part of me was hurt that I wasn't getting the embrace Rex was about getting.The only thing I longed for was to sink into their warmth and take in their scents, I deserved it because it was finally all over.I didn't want to know the reason they had acted that way now, but rather I needed rest. I watched as Rex moved slowly to their side before falling unconscious.The mood immediately changed as he was carried back to the mansion and while I tagged along slowly.I could feel Ray and Rory's gaze on my body causing me to shiver in delight, but right now, Rex required me and as much as their warmth was what I needed to calm down my racing heart, I still detested them due to the way we were treated a little while back.I stayed and watched while Rex was being treated due to the bruises he had gotten from fighting with the soldier.Unable to hold down my curiosity, I asked, “why did you free Rex even though he had killed your soldier?”It took all my willpower to stop mysel
Daphne’s POVMy hand immediately grasped my mouth as those words left my mouth. I didn’t even want to look at Rex because I could burst into tears and tears would make us look guilty here by justifying their judgment.I couldn’t believe the two people who stood grinning in front, and the only emotion that danced on my face was discussed. There was no explanation whatsoever for this decision they had made, even if at all we were imposters…. Weren’t there other ways to find out if indeed we were?We weren’t even asked questions or even investigated.“Is this how the system runs now?” I began, unable to hold myself any longer.“So many things are wrong with your decision” I heard Rex chip in angrily, causing me to smile. The fact that he snapped out of his mood to support me was enough.“No investigation was made, no questions asked. what kind of messed up justice system is this pack now running!?”“What then differentiates you from your dad?” I asked.“You do know I am an Alpha's daugh
Daphne’s POVIt all went too fast, in the blink of an eye we went from analyzing the pack’s environment and the weird reception towards us to being arrested.I opened my eyes softly and met theirs. My mates stood in our front as they whispered among themselves.So many emotions filled me up and my heart thumped in excitement as so many emotions flooded my subconscious.I watched with a smile on my face as they turned to face us with a cold grin plastered on their faces, dampening my spirits.Never was I expecting them to open their arms wide to welcome us, but this reception was just far too cold.I heard a groan from Rex, causing me to be aware of his presence, “Rex?” I called out as he said nothing more to me.“What's going on, Ivy?” He asked me, struggling with the guards that held him captive.“I'm sure I didn't stutter, identify yourself!”“You both entered our borders in a very comfortable manner, as though you know your way around,” Ray said, eyeing us up wearily, causing my he
Daphne's POV“You don't know that this isn't your journey, right?” Uriel asked, stopping us from moving any further with them, while the men stopped in such a way that made me notice that Uriel must have stopped time to speak to us.“What do you mean?” Rex asked, confused, as though he could read my mind.“It seemed like you both have forgotten where you came from, the past you left behind to a face destiny has been calling”“What about the relics and the battle we are to face? I am needed, and you must know” I interrupted.“Your journey stops here, trust me you need to return to balance things, the battle you'll face soon is dependent on how you handle this”“How long ago did you feel as though they were still calling out to you?” he asked me, ignoring the question I had asked earlier, causing Rex’s attention to shift towards me.I never told anyone or even confessed to myself that I could feel the mate pull me towards where they called out to me, but I then realized that after a whi
