Heartbeat accelerating, cheeks suddenly flushed with desire, eyes clouded and dilated, Diana stared silently at the mesmerizing eyes of her three handsome brothers.
The embers of arousal between her thighs burst into flames when she felt strong fingers grip her waist. She felt hands gently grab her hair, pulling her face upwards so she could stare into their eyes.Alden was directly in front of her, pinning her with his hard body against the wall. The heat from his body was slowly driving her insane and she gulped softly.On her right was Axel, his hands wrapped gently around her hair. His eyes were pure gold as he stared at her with undisguised hunger.On her left was Asher, and the look in his eyes made her knees weak. His hands were wrapped tightly around her waist and he had his nose buried in her neck, sniffing her scent.Diana tried to protest, but her body betrayed her. She didn't want them to stop. The tiny voice in her head tried to break through, reminding her that these weren't her lovers, but her brothers, but she shut it out."Diana," one whispered huskily. She couldn't think straight in their presence. Her brain felt mushy, void of thoughts. Asher kissed her, a short light kiss, or was it Alden? She couldn't tell. The kiss erased every single thought in her head."Why are you doing this to me?" she whispered."You belong to us, Diana," Alden's voice echoed in her head. "No one else but us."One hand slipped into her jean and that was when she couldn't bear it anymore. With all the strength she could muster, she broke free and slipped into her room, shutting the door and locking it.Walking to her bed, she grabbed a pillow and screamed into it, feeling guilty for the way her body responded so much to their touch....The day passed in a blur.Diana didn't go downstairs all through, not even for dinner. When Asher brought a dinner tray up to her room for her, she silently collected it, not bothering to look into his eyes.Before she locked herself in her room again, Asher told her softly that everything with Headmaster Walter had been resolved and she was no longer suspended.Diana nodded, and then asked softly. "Mother and Father, are they back?""Not yet," Asher replied. "Beta Dorian brought a message for us. They will be back in two days."Diana nodded, and the silence lengthened. Just as Diana turned to go back into her room, Asher gently held her back and apologized for how he and his brothers acted towards Jasper and promised nothing like that would ever happen again.He also wanted to bring up the intimate moment they shared earlier, but he didn't want to make her uncomfortable. Slowly, he let her go.Diana merely nodded and quietly shut the door, locking herself in again.On the other side of the door, Alden and Axel stared back at Asher helplessly."Do you think we went too far this time?" Asher asked quietly.Alden and Axel just sighed. None of them actually meant to go so far with her. The plan was to make her comfortable and used to their presence before telling her the truth about being their mate.But now..."Let's just give her some time to be alone," Alden said finally.As they walked away, Diana leaned away from the door where she had been eavesdropping. She wanted so bad to yank the door open and run after them, to lose herself in their warm embrace, but she held back.She really needed time alone. Maybe it was time to face the truth. Nothing would ever happen between them. One day, she would get her heart broken when they found their mates.And she wouldn't be able to change it.They would never be hers.Her appetite suddenly gone, she dropped the dinner tray on the floor and curled into a ball on her bed.Soon, tears filled her eyes and she cried herself to sleep....When Diana opened her eyes again, she found herself in a different room.A gasp escaped her lips when she looked up. Her hands were tied above her head to the railings behind her. A sheet of blanket was the only thing covering her body and she was alone in the room.She blinked and when she looked up again, dark golden eyes were staring back at her."Alden?" she whispered.She had grown so used to them that she could tell the difference between the triplets, even when they looked so identical.Why was she in Alden's room?Before she could think of an answer, she felt warm hands on her sides and she turned to see Asher and Axel on either sides of her."What's happening?" she whispered again."Shhhh," Axel shushed her, lightly kissing her chin."Don't say a word," Alden whispered in her ear."Just feel," Asher added, and gently closed her eyes with his lips."No," Diana shook her head as she whimpered from their touch. "This isn't right. We... we shouldn't be doing this..."She didn't get a reply. Alden's lips trailed down her throat and she bit back a moan, her back arching with pleasure.Hot lips closed over her hardened peaks and she gasped, her hands twisting as she tried to free them from the bonds."Be calm, my love," Asher whispered in her ear. "We want you to enjoy this."As if in a trance, Diana stopped struggling and relaxed, letting her sweet brothers please her as much as they wanted. Sighs and moans of pleasure echoed in the quiet room as her body burned with need.She wanted more."Please...," she whispered softly."What do you want, sweetheart?" Axel gently bit her earlobe, sending waves of spasm through her body."Claim me," Diana voiced out shakily. "Make me yours.""Fuck," Alden cursed softly and slowly kissed down her body. Moving at a torturous slow speed, he parted her thighs and buried his head between her heated entrance."Ohhh," Diana cried out softly, her legs trembling with pleasure.She came undone the moment she felt Alden's hot lips on her throbbing core, her orgasm taking over her body.It was magical.At that moment, she suddenly opened her eyes and shot up in bed, her chest heaving as she breathed heavily.It was daylight, and she was back in her room. Alone.It had been another dream. Another wet dream.Her night dress was damp with perspiration, her nipples rock hard and aching to be touched. Her hair was a mess.But what shocked her most, was the wetness between her thighs.She actually had an orgasm the previous night."Diana, wait."Diana paused at the door and sighed. Her plan to leave for school unnoticed hadn't been successful. She just wanted to be alone. She wasn't ready to face her brothers.She turned and watched as the triplets hurried towards her."You're leaving without us?" Alden asked, a hurt expression on his face."I...," Diana stuttered."But we always drive you to school," Asher said next. "Are we bothering you?" Axel gently took her hand."No." Diana shook her head, staring at each of them in the eyes. "You could never bother me. Why would you think of something like that?""You've been avoiding us since last night," Axel said."If this is about what happened, what we tried to do...," Asher began."We're sorry," Alden apologized. "Maybe we got carried, and made you feel uncomfortable. We'll keep our distance now.""No," Diana shook her head again. "I don't want you to keep your distance. I..."She paused. It was at the tip of her tongue to tell them how much she loved them. Not ju
Diana felt skeptical returning to school the very next day after being in a fight with Syrena. If it had been up to her, she would have stayed home for a week before returning. Then, every side talk would have died down.Now, she would have to endure more weird looks from the other shifters."Here you go," Alden handed her her backpack. "We'll come pick you up later. And Diana, please...,""I know, I know," Diana rolled her eyes. "Stay away from Syrena and don't get into another fight."Asher and Axel looked amused and Alden reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear. "I was gonna tell you to be safe, but ignoring Syrena is also important."Diana shook her head, a soft smile tugging her lips. "Bye guys. Love you."She shut the door and made her way towards the large open doors.Alden watched her go, never taking his eyes off her until she was inside the school. Then he turned to his brothers."You know what you have to do," he said.Asher nodded. "We'll stay hidden in our wolf fo
"Diana, over here," Jason yelled.Diana resisted the urge to groan in frustration. Now the whole school knew she was going to sit with him. Could her day get any worse?Gripping her lunch tray carefully, she made her way through the aisle, trying not to fidget under the open stares from some of the students. She was almost at his table when someone stuck out their leg and Diana tripped on it. Her tray slipped from her hand as she struggled to balance herself.Someone screamed and Diana looked up, her eyes widening as she spotted Syrena drenched in milk. Her tray had landed on the floor, spilling the content everywhere, and the box of milk had splashed its content on some of the students.Syrena took the brunt of it.Someone snickered, and a few giggles followed. Soon the entire students burst out laughing. Syrena turned red with rage and she marched towards Diana."How dare you?!" she screamed."It... It was an accident," Diana stuttered, trying to hold back her own laughter. To se
"For the last time Headmaster Walter, I see nothing wrong with what I did," Jason drawled, his voice etched with exasperation. "I like Diana, and I feel we could be mates. What's wrong with telling her that?"They were currently in the Headmaster's office;Headmaster Walter, Jasper, Jason and Diana, Syrena and the triplets, Alden, Asher and Axel.When Jason admitted that he liked Diana, no one noticed the murderous looks that passed through Alden and his brothers' expression."Didn't you have a thing with Syrena?" Jasper asked next."There was never a thing between me and her," Jasper denied instantly, much to the annoyance of Syrena who stood beside him. "I like Diana, and I told her I would love to know her better. I know she's my mate.""I suggest you wait until the next mating ceremony before you lay claim to our sister," Asher grounded out coldly.Diana looked up at her brothers in surprise. She knew they were possessive when it came to boys, but to show it in the presence of so m
There was a brief moment of silence, but it was long enough for Alden to consider what good it would do if they told Diana she was mated to them.If Diana realized she was indeed mated to all three of them, the questions would start. How was it possible to be mated to ones brothers? And then they would have to tell her she wasn't really their sister, which would lead to more questions because Diana would want to know who she was and why the truth about her birth had been kept hidden for so long.It wasn't the right time yet. They still hadn't told their parents that Diana was their mate. Everything had to be done right. The timing mattered.Which was why he was hoping Diana would wolf out on her eighteenth birthday, and feel the pull of the mate bond. When that time came, he would be ready with an explanation to all her questions."How can you say that?" Alden finally spoke out, a look of astonishment on his face. "We can't be your mate, Diana. We're your brothers."Asher and Axel sho
Diana just stepped out from the bathroom when thunder shook the mansion and the wind picked up.Holding her towel around her body, she hurried towards the windows and closed it before the rain could pour in. The room became chilly and she quickly dried her body and slipped on her night dress.Someone knocked on the door and she turned around, slipping her hands through the sleeves of the dress."Come in."The door opened and Asher stepped in. He took one look at her and froze.Diana's night dress was a bit transparent as she stood under the chandelier, and the curves of her breast were visible. His eyes lowered, slowly taking in the smoothness of her flat tummy, the flair of her hips and her long slender legs."Asher?" Diana whispered. The burning look in his eyes was hard to resist, and she felt her nipples harden. The throbbing between her legs increased and she bit her lips.Asher's eyes darkened with desire and he slowly moved towards her. Diana watched him approach, but did noth
"Are you sure you're okay Ana?" Luna Catherine asked as she pulled the thick duvet over Diana, keeping her warm.Diana smiled. Only her mother called her Ana and it was a pet name that she had grown fond of. "I'm fine, mom," she answered. "I just..."When she trailed off, Luna Catherine sat on the side of the bed and gently stroked her hair."You know you can talk to me," she said with a kind smile. "I'm your mother.""I know," Diana sighed. "I'm just worried. What if I never find my wolf? What if I remain mateless? People would laugh at me, and you and dad would be ashamed. Imagine the daughter of the Alpha and Luna being wolfless and mateless.""Your father and I will never be ashamed of you," Luna Catherine said fiercely. "We love you Diana. Just because you haven't found your wolf doesn't make you any lesser than the others who have. You're kind, and you're special. You're my daughter, a gift from the moon goddess to me. My love for you would never depreciate just because you hav
The moment Diana woke up the next day, she looked towards her side, expecting to see Asher there.He wasn't. So it had been another dream. And like the other dreams, it felt so real. She fell backwards and let out a pleased sigh. Memories of the dream replayed in her mind and she giggled happily. She had never felt this way about her other dreams, so why did she suddenly feel giddy after last night?Was it because last night has been slightly different from the others?"Get a hold of yourself, Diana," she scolded herself and jumped out of the bed. As she made her way to the bathroom, someone knocked."Come in," Two maids walked in holding freshly washed sheets and duvets."Pleasant morning to you, Princess Diana," the maids curtsied respectfully."Pleasant morning to you too," Diana smiled softly at them. "The Alpha and Luna have asked us to inform you that the school wouldn't be open today," Tessa, the blonde maid, spoke softly."Why not?" Diana asked."It is because everyone need
100 years later... Alaric and Catherine had resigned as Alpha and Luna of the pack, leaving it for Alden and his brothers to rule. One fateful day, a new group of werewolves were brought to the pack. Just as it had been done years ago in the time of Alpha Alaric, werewolves who didn't belong to a pack traveled down to the Bloodmoon pack so they could be sworn in as members, and protected from the outside world. After they had sworn their loyalties to the triplets Alphas, the warriors began to group them into pack houses. Alden and his brothers left the beta and gamma to do the job and they left, taking a walk round the pack and making sure everyone was settling in. Suddenly, they perceived a sweet and unique scent. Asher was the first to stop abruptly, and then his brothers followed. "That sweet scent." Alden whispered. They couldn't be mistaken. Only one person had that scent, and they would recognize it anywhere. It was Diana. In the next instant, the triplets shifted into
Alden and his brothers were dumbstruck. It seemed they had seen a ghost. "Diana? Dad?" Asher whispered, unable to believe his eyes. He was terrified that if he blinked, they would disappear. Beside him, Alden and Axel were so still. It was Catherine who finally took a tentative step forward and gently stretched her hand forward. "Alaric," She said softly. "Is it really you?"Alpha Alaric smiled at her gently. Then he looked towards his daughter and gently placed a kiss on her hair. Turning back to his mate, he stepped out of the pool and took her in his arms. "It is, my love." His deep voice caressed her. "I came back to you."Catherine's eyes filled with tears as she touched her mate all over, making sure he was real and not a figment of her imagination. When she realized it was really him standing before her in flesh and blood, she burst into happy tears and threw herself into his arms. "Oh Alaric," She sobbed. "I thought I would never see you again. I was so lost without you
A week had gone by since the death of Alaric and Diana. Bloodmoon pack was deserted. After the war with Astrid, the other creatures had packed up their families and left the pack to the outside world. The Michaelson school lay in ruins. The only people left in the pack were the triplets, Catherine and a few of the warriors.Even after the war they won, things didn't go back to the way they were. The sky remained dark and moonless, and the realm felt like it had been sucked dry of life. Catherine moved about the mansion like a ghost, her face etched with the pain of her lost mate and her daughter. The only reason she didn't take her life were her sons. They were what made her live each day. As for Alden and his brothers, things would never be the same. Diana didn't just die; she took a part of them with her. And though they tried to ignore the pain and pretended like they were okay, deep down, the pain of losing her was all consuming. The days went by seamlessly, until one night,
Alaric slowly climbed to his feet behind Astrid and withdrew the dagger Diana had given to him. The pain he felt was excruciating, but he carefully trudged forward, his eyes intent on Astrid. He had to do it. He had to save everyone before it was too late. It wasn't easy for a father to kill his own child, but as Diana stated earlier, it was the only way. An Alpha had to make difficult decisions, no matter who it would affect. And at that point, destroying Diana's body which was inhabited by Astrid was the only way to save the entire realm. As he got closer to Astrid, Alden sensed him and he raised his head weakly. His gaze focused on Alaric and the moment he saw the dagger, he knew what his father was about to do. Kill Diana.Before he could hold himself, he yelled out unintentionally. "Father no!" Astrid whirled around instantly, her black eyes zeroing in on Alaric. She snarled at him and shot out her arm, sending Alaric flying backwards. "You werewolves never give up." She u
"You have to kill me."Alpha Alaric froze, the color draining from his face. He slowly released Diana, shaking his head in denial. "No," He whispered. "Dad please...""No Diana." Alaric shook his head, his entire body trembling. "How can you ask of something like that from me?""It is the only way." Diana cried out. "Astrid is going to destroy the realm, and she has already succeeded because the moon is gone...""No..." Alaric adamantly refused. "Dad we can't let more innocent people die...""I can't do it Diana!" Alaric suddenly burst out. Then his voice lowered and trembled as he continued. "I can't kill my own child, my own daughter.""So you would let other people die?" Diana whispered. "If Astrid takes over, I'll die. Why not make use of the opportunity and defeat her instead?""Diana, it isn't as easy as you want it to be." Alaric whispered back. There were tears glistening in his eyes, threatening to fall. "I can't kill my own daughter. This is a difficult decision you're as
Immediately the pentagram's connection was severed, Astrid lost control of her powers for a moment. This gave the large wolf an opportunity to tackle her to the ground. "No!" She screamed, struggling to free herself from the wolf above her. The other two wolves stepped out of the pentagram and hurried towards Alden and Asher. "Mother, Axel," Asher called out in a voice filled with relief. Catherine and Axel swiftly shifted into their human forms and loosened the vines holding him and Alden. "How did you know where to find us?" Alden asked, freeing his hands from the vines. "Astrid destroyed the moon. Didn't you feel the pain?""We felt it." Axel answered, grabbing Asher's arm and lifting him up. "I felt like I would die. Mother and Father were down too, until suddenly, the pain disappeared. I don't know how it happened, but I used that opportunity to lead them here.""It was Astrid." Asher replied. He held on to his side as his wound slowly began to heal. "Now that she has destroy
Alpha Alaric jerked awake when he felt the mansion tremble. Besides him, Catherine shot up from the bed, one hand gripping him in fright. "What was that?" She whispered. Again the mansion trembled and shook as if the earth was about to split in two. Without wasting another second, Alaric pushed off the bed and hurried towards the door. "Alaric wait." Catherine called, throwing on her robe and hurrying after him. As they ran through the hallway towards the stairs, the tremor increased until the mansion felt like it was being uprooted from the earth. The chandeliers flickered repeatedly and went off, plunging the mansion into darkness. The warriors hurried up the stairs just as Alaric and Catherine descended. "Alpha...""Henry, what is happening?" Alaric demanded, his voice loud and powerful. "We have no idea Alpha." Henry responded, his voice filled with fear and confusion. "The earth suddenly began to shake. It looks like an earthquake.""Get everyone out of the mansion." Alar
"NO!" Alden roared. "If you dare harm my mate, I will...""What? Kill me?" Astrid taunted him. Her cold smile widened. "Don't you get it Alden? I am not the one who will hurt her. It is you, and everyone else who will try to kill me. Being in the same body with Diana sure has its perks. I have her powers, and her body is under my control. But if you kill me, she'll die."Alden was at a loss of what to do. He couldn't destroy Astrid without losing his mate in the process. He thought everything would be back to normal after Astrid's death. How wrong he was. The battle wasn't over. Astrid looked up to the moon. It was past midnight. She needed to begin the spells. She gazed back at Alden and her smile disappeared, leaving her face cold and dark. "If I were you, I would run back to my parents and warn them of the impending doom. Because the moment I destroy the moon, this pack is going down first."As she turned to leave, Alden made up his mind. He shifted abruptly into his beast and l
"Don't move." Diana's voice reached him. "I have a dagger at your back, and you don't want me to hurt you.""Diana," Alden gasped in surprise. "What are you doing? It's me, Alden.""I know it is you." Diana replied. Keeping the dagger pointed at him, she walked around until she was standing in front of him. There was a slight smile on her lips when she faced him. "Did you really think I wouldn't know you were following me?"Alden tried to smile back, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was definitely wrong. Diana's whole demeanor was off. It was like he was staring at another person. "Where were you going?" He asked. Diana lowered the dagger and stood staring at him. "I couldn't sleep. I needed a walk to clear my head.""You've been acting strangely for days now." Alden voiced out his concerns. Though he appeared relaxed but he was alert to his surroundings. "Since you got your powers back from Astrid...""Did you expect things to go back to the way it was so easily?"
