Bella:
Ryder despised me and claimed that my mother was the reason his mother left, but that was none of my business. He never reacted negatively to my mother.
“I am not afraid of you, Ryder,” I said, trying to stand my ground and ignoring my wolf, who could not stay in one place.
“Looks like someone grew some balls over the years, and it is good to see that we can now play equally.” He said, glancing at the twins, who both smirked at me.
My pussy muscles tightened as I stared into their gorgeous brown eyes. It was the mate effect, which made me feel both disgusted and horny.
Kai and Finn circled around me,scrutinizing my attire. Finn grabbed my waist and pulled me to his chest, whispering in my ear.
“Did you dress up for us?” I chuckled, slapping his hands away from my waist, and he pushed me toward Kai, who yanked away my daylight necklace from my neck.
“Give it back!” I yelled, and he gave off a dark chuckle.
“Make me,” he said, throwing it to Ryder, the tallest of them.
Ryder did nothing but raise his hands as I attempted to reach it.
“Midget,” Finn said to me, and they gave off their usual mocking laughter.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I attempted to reach the neckpiece, the only thing that reminded me of my father that I had left home with.
“What is going on here?” Alpha Fredrick asked, and we all turned to look at him standing by the door with his brows wrinkled.
Ryder let go of the necklace, which I caught before it fell to the ground, staring at the Alpha through tear-stained eyes.
His gaze darted around the room before he walked towards the broken bed.
“Ryder?” Alpha Fredrick raised an eyebrow with his arms crossed.
“Bella broke it. It is not my fault she got so fat over the summer,” he said, and the twins laughed.
I wasn’t fat, but he loved to make jokes about it to make me feel bad.
But the alpha’s eyes bore no trace of happiness.
“Finn, Kai, get out!” He growled, and the laughter stopped.
The twins bolted, leaving Ryder, Alpha Fredrick, and me in the room.
“Bella has been placed under your care, not for your childish schemes. I am going to let this go while you make amends.”
His words were comforting, something my mother wouldn’t do.
“For tonight, she will share a bed with you while I work on fixing her bed. Bella will stay here to settle in, and you will get her food from the dining room,” he said, and my eyes widened.
“You are unbelievable. If you will excuse me, I have to get to training!” Ryder said in a raised tone before leaving.
I arranged my belongings as the Alpha had instructed, and soon it was nighttime. My stomach rumbled badly because I had not eaten all day. The triplets had left for training and possibly dinner, so I sat in the living room with a book in hand, trying to distract myself.
I knew they were back when their scent filled the air, which reminded me of freshly brewed coffee. The door to the room opened, and the trio walked in.
Ryder approached me with the perfectly packaged meal in hand.
“I am sorry for what happened earlier, and here is your dinner,” he apologized, but I did not mind because I assumed his apology wasn’t from his heart but his father’s doing.
I jumped up from the couch, rushing to grab the takeaway from him, but when I got close enough, he dropped it to the ground.
As I watched the entire contents of the plate spill onto the floor, he stepped on it and then stood close to me. I was foolish to think he would actually apologize. He was a monster, and changing him would be like putting a camel through a needle.
“My mistake,” he said, and I looked at him to see the smirk on his face. “It looks like someone is eating from the floor, like the dog that she is.” He said it, and I tried hard not to cry.
“Clean up this mess, or you will be sleeping on the floor tonight. Unfortunately, my father is far away in his castle and will not be able to help you until tomorrow. A weakling like you will not understand why we are known as the frost pack until you freeze to death while sleeping on the cold tiles, so what will it be?” Ryder inquired, grabbing a mop from the corner of the room.
Finn averted my gaze as he knocked a glass from the island table.
“I am so clumsy,” he said, and everyone laughed.
“Get cleaning!” Ryder threw the mop stick from a distance, causing the mop head to come into contact with my open mouth, allowing some of the mop to touch my tongue.
I spat and slapped my tongue, rushing to the washbasin to wash off the sand from the mop stick. But they did not care.
“Get to cleaning. The choice is yours: eat off the floor like the filthy animal you are, or clean it up!”
With no choice left, I grabbed the mop from him while he and the Lycanthal twins returned to their rooms.

“Everything about you is beautiful,” Ryder said, pulling my waist to his chest.
He parted my hair, exposing my neck, which he attacked with gentle kisses that sent a rush of emotions through me. I tried to stop him, but he spun me around and kissed my lips. My hands rummaged around his muscular chest before he lifted me up, wrapping my legs around his waist.
He gently placed me on the bed, undoing my dress to reveal my bare breasts. My face flushed at once, and I tried to hide it, but he grabbed my hands.
“Don’t cover up for me.” he whispered.
“Yes, Bella, you should not cover up for us. We want every inch of you.”
The Lycanthal twins said, and I peered behind Ryder to see them in nothing but briefs, their prints clearly visible, which made me even more horny.
“Tell us what you want, and we will gladly satisfy you,” they said, getting into bed.
My entire body warmed up, and I pressed my lips against Ryder’s, while Kai played with my breasts and Finn slid his hands into my panties. The feeling of hav“Ryder, fuck!” I groaned, trying to kiss Ryder, but then he pushed my face away.
“What the fuck? Get off me, weirdo!” He yelled, and then he fell down with a large thud.
This caused me to jerk up, opening my eyes to see myself on the bed with a blonde girl in uniform with her hair packed in a ponytail assisting Ryder, who had fallen off from the bed.
I had been dreaming, and it was an embarrassing one, which made me wish I could get swallowed by the bed, so I do not live the aftermath of the shame.
“Are you fine, boo?” she asked, rubbing his head. I felt a surge of rage in me, and my wolf growled, urging me to intervene and separate them.
ing all three of them make please me was overwhelming.
“Faster, Finn,” I demanded, as his fingers moved in and out of me.
“And who is this?” she asked, assessing me.
“No one important,” Ryder replied, drawing her closer to him, her breasts grazing his chest as he kissed her lips, sending a jabbing pain through my chest.
Bella:It was the first day of school, and I tried not to let Ryder or the Lycanthal twins bother me. When I put on my uniform, I stood in front of the mirror to check myself. The skirt was a little tight, highlighting my curves.“Where are you going, dressed like that?” Ryder asked, and I looked in the mirror to see him standing behind me, his brow wrinkled.“School?” I raised an eyebrow. “What is the big deal?” “You are not my mother.”“Yes, babe, what is the big deal?” The blonde girl asked, grabbing his collar, but he drew her hands away.“You have been placed in my care, and you will not leave this dorm in something so short!” He stormed away angrily, leaving the blonde staring at me with squinted eyes.After that brief encounter with Ryder, I ignored him and wore my skirt out of the room to the dining hall, using the scroll as a guide.As I walked down the hall, people looked at me, murmured, and pointed to their screens. Some made hand job gestures with their hands, while other
Bella:The day of the mating ball had arrived, and the school was abuzz with a mix of nerves and excitement. I lay sprawled on my bed, music blasting through my headphones to drown out the rest of the world—particularly Ryder and Fae’s incessant make-out sessions on his bed.I wasn’t just battling the heartache of my mate being with someone else; I was also swamped with school work, having transferred mid-semester. To top it all off, the entire school despised me, so the ball was the last thing on my mind.When my aching heart stopped, I knew they had finished, so I took off my earpiece and got to my feet.I needed to get away to breathe, so I went to the fridge, grabbed a bottle of water, and Fae appeared, smug as ever.“You might want to start looking for another place,” she sneered. “After tonight, Ryder will officially be mine, and as the future Luna, I cannot have you around.”Her words stung, but I held back my response. “Thanks for not gracing the ball with your presence,” she
Third person pov:“I can not believe the moon goddess would do this to us,” Ryder said, breaking the silence between himself and the twins.It had been hours since Bella fell from the roof, and they still had not gotten over it, let alone the fact that she was their mate.“I do not know how to feel or how to control my emotions. What if she dies, and we have to go our entire lives without a mate?” Kai said, pacing around the room, as Ryder and Finn looked at him. “We are horrible people, and we will live without mates. How will we carry out our duties if...?”“Kai, you are overreacting!” Ryder stated, and Kai paused to stare at him.“Overreacting?” He inquired in a raised tone. “Says the person who signed us up for this. It was your idea to bully her, and Finn and I agreed because we were supposed to be best friends; however, if she dies, we will throw away everything we have worked for, and...”“No one is dying, Kai,” Finn, who had been sitting calmly on a couch in the Alphas’ living
Bella:“Why didn’t you say something all this time?” Ryder asked in a loud voice, and I shrugged with a frown.“Are you going to yell at me for remaining silent after falling off a tall building because of you?” I asked, raising my brow.He was about to speak when the twins placed a hand on his shoulder and told him to calm down.I did not care because all I could think about was rejecting them, regardless of how many good things they did for me.“Look, Bella, we apologize for what we did and hope you can forgive us. I know it almost cost your life for us to apologize, and I sincerely hope we can move on,” Finn said, and I stared at him silently.Their words sound inferior to me because the last time Ryder attempted to apologize, he spilled the food, and they all mocked me. The thought of it caused untold pain in my heart, but I was not ready to talk about it.“Thank you for the gifts,” I managed to say, and everyone fell silent for a few moments.Someone knocked on the door, then ope
Bella:Seeing the triplets in pain pricked my heart, but I braced myself because they had treated me like an animal earlier.“This is very cruel of you, Bella, and—”“You know my name is Bella?” I cut Ryder short before he could finish his sentence.All this time, he had only called me names or, at best, my surname, but for once, he realized I had a name.I watched the three of them, fuming on their knees, trying to mask their pain with anger. A part of me prayed they would reject me too, and the other part feared how much pain I would go through when they did.“What are you waiting for? Too chicken to reject me?” I questioned, trying to push them to their limit.Ryder was about to speak when Finn grabbed his hand and stood up.“We know better than to reject you back, Bella, and that is the only way the mate bond can be severed. Even though we are in pain,” he paused, grabbing his chest with a frown as he tried to maintain a firm tone, “We won’t reject you.”After he finished, there w
Bella:I took Hazel back to the room as fast as I could, then I dumped her on the couch, returning to get a couple more sachets. After that, I went back to my room, got into bed, and decided to finish my snack of chilled blood sachets for the night.My mind pricked me as I looked at Hazel peacefully asleep, and I hoped that one day, when she found out, she would forgive me and know that what I did was right.“I came about thirty minutes ago, and I searched for her, but I couldn’t find her…”My mother’s voice trailed off.I pulled the sachet out of my mouth, tossing it under my bed, just as she pulled the door open.“Oh, she is here,” she said, ending the call and rushing towards me with a worried face.“Where have you been, Bella?” she questioned, placing her hand on my head to check my temperature, which was fine now because I had fed.“I’m fine. I had to get some fresh air,” I said, frowning.No matter what she said or did, she was the same person who wanted me dead.“Please do not
THIRD PERSON POV:Fae and Ryder lay side by side, his thoughts drifting back to Bella’s rejection. He hated his life at that moment, especially the fact he had to stoop so low for Bella’s attention.“Who does she think she is?” he muttered aloud, sitting up abruptly.Fae, lost in her own thoughts about what she had done to Bella, barely registered his words. She knew that once Bella spoke up, there would be an investigation, and there would likely be witnesses. That fear gnawed at her, but she kept her focus on Ryder.“I wish I could make her disappear,” Ryder said, flopping back onto the bed in frustration, his arm brushing against Fae’s chest by accident.The touch startled Fae, pulling her out of her thoughts. Seeing the frustration etched on Ryder’s face, she climbed on top of him, hoping to distract herself and him. She pressed her lips to his neck, but he stopped her, grabbing her hands.“What are you doing? We only have about thirty minutes before breakfast, and I don’t want to
Bella:I hated them so much, but why did it hurt again seeing him with Fae? She was the person who had attempted to murder me, and yet he showered her with love.“Fuck you!” I groaned, slapping my chest for the pain it felt.I walked as fast as I could to Hazel’s room.When I grabbed the handle, Hazel caught my left hand.“Bella!” she called out. I turned to face her with tears shimmering in my eyes. “You do not have to keep doing this to yourself, please, Bella,” she pleaded. I swallowed hard, pulled the door open, and threw myself onto the bed.She shut the door and walked towards the bed.“I’m fine,” I muttered. She tried to hold my hand, but I withdrew, because I was ashamed that she had to see me this way.I wiped away my tears, then I took a deep breath, turning off my emotions. I was a fool for switching them back on, and I didn’t care if I was running from my problems. This seemed better, and I had better things to waste my emotions than some boys who didn’t give two shits abo
