Liya’s POV
“This tastes like shit!”
I jolted at the Alpha Wade's sudden thunderous voice that boomed, sending fear down my spine in the form of heavy shudders.
Throwing my eyes down to gawk at the floor while cowering by a corner, I noticed his dark gaze on me and it was every bit as distasteful as his tone depicted.
I had spent almost all evening in the kitchen, preparing dinner, rather than remaining in my room, resting from another detested day at school.
I wasn't sure if to feel extremely saddened by it or just ignore it. But I can be sure that right now, I can only lower my head and remain silent, even trying to breathe as lightly as possible. Once I make any sound, it will only bring about more dreadful consequences.
Without even lifting my head, I know that at this moment, my mother, just like me, is beside him, bowing her head. It was always like this, Alpha Wade'd say what he wanted to me and she wouldn't even move a muscle.
I figured she felt that doing all that would help her pretend like she wasn't witnessing anything, and that might help ebb the guilt.
And I also have to learn to face everything on my own, even if all efforts go in vain, to try not to let my heart shatter, and most importantly, to refrain from shedding tears.
“Get out of here!”
The roar sounded like my pardon. Without a second thought, I hurried out of the room, walking as fast as I could to my own room.
I gently closed the door and leaned against it, placing my hands on my chest, patting to soothe myself. It was only here that I dared to take deep breaths. 'It's okay, Liya. It will be over soon, just relax."
My life wasn't always this dreary, I was one the revered princess of Crimson lake pack, the daughter of the great Alpha Douglas.
But all that came to a harsh end on the night of my parent's anniversary.
(Flashback)
An attack was wedged by Alpha Wade and his triplet sons, and it took everyone by surprise.
My father died in battle, defending the one thing he loved and adored–his family.
I didn't play damsel in distress as per the wish of my father before he went out to fight, I had chosen to fight for my dying people and so had my mum.
I am Alpha's daughter, and it's impossible for me to be so weak that others would die for me while I survive!
But unlike fairy tales, bravery cannot conquer everything! I am just a girl who hasn't even acquired the traits of a wolf, not a match for seasoned soldiers.
Soon, I was knocked down, lying in a pool of blood.
At that moment, I had accepted my fate. At least, I would die in battle, a worthy Alpha heritress, making my father proud, right?
But the fate arranged by the Moon Goddess for me was far more tragic.
“Is she dead like this?“ A young voice echoed above me, slightly shocked, as if mocking my weakness.
Another, deeper voice said, “Whether dead or alive, take her back. She's the best trophy.“
Yet another, more frivolous voice chimed in, “Of course, a natural born whore.“
Three voices, similar yet distinct. Soon, I realized they were the triplet Alphas.
They approached, and hands quickly reached for my neck to confirm my life or death.
What should I do? They were going to capture me!
Just then, an unexpected voice came from nearby, “MATE!“
It was that damned intruder Wade's voice!
His second chance here? But... we had already relocated all the female tribe members. Only my mother and I remained.
Could it be...
No! Impossible!
“Ah, no! Let me go!“I don't dare think about it, but soon I heard my mother scream.
My god, how could this happen?!
The bastard's voice came, “You three, take that girl with you, come back with me!“
“No! Let go of my Liya!“ This was my mother's last attempt to protect me, but her command was useless. The triplets wouldn't see her as a stepmother, only hating her for replacing their mother, just like I hated their father!
But I had to swallow that hate, as I couldn't vent like them.
(Flashback Ends)
In this damn place, I was worse than a servant. Even my mother, she remained in eternal silence, ignoring all my pain.
I was worse than an orphan...
My room was my sole safe haven, a place where I could relax and let all the tension, anger and animosity roam free in the form of tears.
Stripping myself of my clothes, I grabbed my towel and headed into the shower, choosing to ignore my dreary reflection. I was incredibly pale with a few bruises and scars from all the bullying the triplets ensured I went through, both in school and at home.
My ginger hair was rough, lacking the shine it used to and my sea-green eyes were dull, having lost the vibrant edge they used to have.
I turned on the shower and stood under it for as long as I could with arms wrapped around my body, letting the sobs slip.
Only the four walls here understand my pain, only the warm water here can wash away my pain, my yearning for father.
“It's okay, Liya! We're leaving soon, very soon.“ I kept repeating this sentence, just like I did every day. But my tears were uncontrollable, and I hated myself for it. I couldn't understand why it had to be me! Why did the goddess punish me!
Long-forgotten fragile emotions invaded my mind and heart, causing me to lose track of time. I even didn't realize my hands had turned white and wrinkled from being soaked in water for too long.
It shouldn't matter, but here, everything I did was wrong. Even taking a longer bath was not allowed.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
“Hey! If you don't come out, we'll come in!“ Harassing voices came from outside, it was Gunter, the second among the triplets.
Damn it! They were here again!
I turned off the shower and grabbed my towel, wiping my body dry. “No! Don't come in, I'll be out soon!“
As soon as I shouted, the youngest Ryder's loud laughter came from outside. “Bro, you really understand women!“
They always enjoyed teasing me, never getting tired of it.
Opening my bathroom door, even though I was mentally prepared, I still felt my heart stop for a terrifying second.
Their eyes landed on me, the mischief swimming in them triggered my fight or flight.
I made to dash back into the bathroom but a strong arm around my waist stopped me and flung me against the bed in the next second.
My towel unfastened from my body from the effect of the forceful collision with the bed and my hair sprawled all over my face.
I scared looked up and found all three of them grinning at me with their eyes darkening as they dragged their orbs down my almost naked body.
I made to completely cover myself with the loosened towel but Ryder had leaned down and caught my hands while Gunter slid the towel away from my body, leaving me completely exposed to them.
“Damn, I could go all night staring at this.” The hoarse voice of Gunter as he leaned down to sniff my skin, had my body shuddering.
“So fucking sexy.” Ryder's strained tone caught my attention as I saw him keel in front of me, trying to pry my legs open.
“NO!” I struggled a little, despising how his touch lit my body ablaze and I would rather die than give him the satisfaction of knowing his touch affected me.
However, my struggle was in vain. I looked at the eldest of the triplets, Hunter, leaning against the door. He didn't come in but watched us with a serious expression, as if he was observing a serious fight.
He was always like that, never absent but never involved. At first, I thought he was different, believed he would save me, but that only proved how naive I was.
"What, you want Hunter's cock?" Gunter grabbed my chin, turning my face towards him.
I shook my head slightly, not wanting anyone. But now, I didn't know what to do; I was afraid of angering them.
Ryder, on the other side, echoed and mocked, "You think highly of yourself. Why would Hunter let a whore like you touch him?"
"Don't worry. We can fulfill your desires." Gunter said, and with that, he spread his legs, kneeling above me. His gray eyes were filled with desire, attempting to undo his sweatpants.
In an instant, fear engulfed me!
Why was this happening again? I was so close to being free! My savior was still waiting for me! I've truly had enough!
"Ah!!" I screamed with all my might, hoping that someone would hear and save me! "Help! Mom! Save me!"
I desperately wished for my mother to appear in time and shield me. Even that bastard Wade showing up would be better!
But there was no one.
"Stop them! Hunter! PLEASE! I'm begging you!" There was no choice; I had to appeal to the man at the door.
However, my voice seemed nonexistent to him. He just raised his eyebrow as if my plea was unbelievable.
It was useless. No one would save me.
I should have known...
Liya’s POVGunter, on the other hand, enjoyed my struggles and popped his thick cock out. I closed my eyes quickly, rubbing my thighs in an attempt to fight the arousal the image of his big fat cock, gifted me.Ryder had fixed himself beside me, noticing how distracted I was by Gunter's cock, seized the opportunity to latch on my left mound.I gasped, almost moaning at how electrifying his warm mouth was.I had no idea when I had let my guard down till I felt my legs get hooked around Gunter's neck and his warm kisses drag down to my dampened core."Ah!!" I moaned, unable to grasp where exactly the electrifying jolt of pleasure was coming from.Gunter swiped his tongue over my clit before saying, "Ryder, you see what I'm saying? She's a born whore."Damn it! I was getting wet again! I really don't know how I'm getting comfortable with their touch! I'm even questioning myself!He then invited Hunter, who was in the doorway, "Bro, sure you don't want a taste?"The room was quiet for two
Liya’s POVSchoolDing-Ding-I could hear the glory bells setting off in my ears as I had rushed into the classroom. I was a sweating, panting mess but I didn't care, I was just glad I made it just in time.I wished I had not rushed in so blindly because I had ended up colliding with Connor.His icy blue orbs that had once lit up in excitement at seeing me, almost immediately darkened when I noticed Tiffany slithering around him while twirling her brunette locks between her fingers.My eye twitched at the mere sight of Tiffany and I was just seconds away from sneezing at her obnoxious perfume. I had no idea why she loved such heavy perfume but I definitely knew it was more irritating than disgusting."Damn it!" I heard Connor mutter a curse word underneath his breath before taking a step away from me.He was the Alpha heir of a neighboring pack that had allied with Wade's pack and a heartthrob for many girls. His beach blond hair that had wavy tendrils graze his forehead and icy blue
Liya’s POVSoon, the sun set, and Connor drove me back near the forest. However, we were quite late compared to the designated curfew time.Connor parked and I jumped out, walking to the other side to give him a gentle kiss before sprinting off, running as fast as I could while silently praying that triplets wouldn't be back home.Once I had arrived at the mansion, I climbed over the back gate, deciding to use the garden route instead. I arrived at the back door and just to my luck, it was unlocked. I slipped into the house, gently shutting the door behind me.I sniffed the air, and my heart leapt because I couldn't perceive any scent – none of that three were around!I was ecstatic, grateful that the goddess spared my life one more day. I walked down the hallway that led to the stairs and tiredly jogged up the spiralling steps.I yawned while making the trip to my room. It's almost time to go. I need to take something with me.But I paused when I walked past my room and heard the ech
Liya’s POVI had woken up bubbly today because today was the day I finally gain my freedom.Yesterday, Connor told me about the recent news of a rogue breakout that caused a stir. All packs have heightened their security levels. But fortunately, the Werewolf Council organized a meeting to discuss the escalating rogue attacks. All Alphas and their mates would attend.So, Connor could bring me to his pack. I was going to hide in his room, and once it was 2 am, we planned to run away with the supplies he had successfully gathered.I had already made up my mind. Today, on this full moon day, I would give myself to Connor! It was my way of expressing my love for him, marking the beginning of a new life!Now my only worry was the triplets but they had muttered something about going to hang out with friends till late in the evening. It's as if they made way for me on purpose. But I don't want to think about what they think right now. I was too giddy at the thought of giving myself to Connor.
Gunter's PovI'm going to kill him!That's all I can think about right now. I'm sure no Alpha could endure a scene like the one I just witnessed as a man tried to undress my mate while my mate was still damn well cooperating with him!"Fuck you!" I roared, charging at Conner and kicking him over onto the ground."What are you doing?" He yelled.He's really not sober when he's dead in the water, how dare he yell at me after doing such a stupid thing.I reached down to him, and I saw as fear flashed in his eyes. I smiled with satisfaction and said, "Can't you see? I'm going to kill you!"I slammed my fist into his cheeks, and blood stained my fist. He covered his eyes and curled up on the ground, wailing. But it wasn't nearly enough.I've wanted to kill this obsessed asshole for a long time, but my law-abiding big brother kept stopping me. Now, I had no restrictions, I'm going to unload on him!I had only just stepped on his left shoulder and was about to push when a white, slender arm
Liya's POV"Connor!!" I was screaming, stumbling around aimlessly and snapping my head left and right vainly in search of him. He seemed to have disappeared into thin air right before my eyes. Or had the triplets done something to him?!The tears pooling in my eyes and streaming down my face like a waterfall blurred my vision, and the ache in my chest did not relent. Suddenly, I could not breathe. As though all the oxygen channeling to my lungs had been cut off."Help…" I tried to scream, but it came out as a whimper.Something was happening to me! My head spun wildly, sending my eyes rolling to the back of my head. Gasping, I fell to my knees. I was still in the process of piecing together the sudden changes going through my body when I felt a light breeze swirl past me. In the very next second, a soft feminine voice echoed in my head, nearly making me jump out of my skin."Just breathe…and no matter what happens, don't stop breathing. Go slow, steady."What on earth?! My eyes widene
Ryder's POVMy brows scrunched in confusion as I watched Liya yell at all three of us to get away from her. She was distraught, tears streaming down her face as she launched herself in the opposite direction. I was even more confused.Why?I did not understand why she was so intent on pushing us away from her. Hadn't we done enough? We had saved her for fucks sake! We saved her from the claws of that vermin, Connor! Good riddance if I do say so myself. I was a hundred percent certain that he was responsible for putting the foolish idea into her head.I shook with rage at the thought of it. That bastard! We should have killed him. But wherever he disappeared to, it would do him a lot of good to stay there, because nothing would stop us from teaching him a lesson if he ever came back.I turned back to Liya who was still intensely shoving Hunter away, her eyes brimming with tears. I didn't get it. She should be grateful, for all I knew. So why the repugnance towards us?Before I could vo
Gunter's POVFor the second time since we insisted on Liya's discharge from the hospital and helped her into the car, I glanced back at her. The pain my wolf was feeling radiated through my entire being as I shut my eyes tightly, angrily. I was worried, yes. But even more so, I was pissed.Pissed that she would not let us even an inch close to her without bursting into tears and screaming at us to get away. Even as we sat in the car together, with Hunter driving us back home on Father's orders, Liya had not uttered a single word. Ryder had apologized yet again, but trying to talk to her was a pointless feat. She sat curled up in the corner of the back seat, keeping a very far distance away from me.Despite all our attempts, Liya would not budge. Normally I would not have given two fucks about her, if she was willing to speak or not. But since my wolf recognised her scent as my mate, things were different. I was so drawn to her I could barely contain myself.The urge to mark her height
