Liya's POV

"What?!"

I could hardly comprehend what I'd just heard Gunter say. His face hardened as he stared into space, leaving me to fully digest the weight of his words.

I'd heard countless times about his mother's death, but I never knew exactly how she died. Now that Gunter revealed that it was from wolfsbane poisoning, I began to see the possibility of a pattern here. The only reasonable conclusion that would piece all this together was just one; there was also a witch in this pack!

I turned to Gunter to see if he thought the same. The pain etched on his face at his mother's memory made me feel sorry that we had to discuss this in the first place. But I said nothing, giving him the chance to regain his composure. When he finally spoke, the words pierced through me like a silver blade.

"She was poisoned."

I took a deep breath, recalling just how hard I'd taken it when I saw my father's corpse lying helplessly in front of me.

"We never found the culprit, but Father mentioned on ma

    Ryder's POVI wanted to break something.All the nerves in my body were tight with tension as I regarded Liya with something akin to anger. I wanted to reprimand her but at the same time I wanted to kiss her senseless. How could one person be so fucking infuriating?!I wanted to yell and lash out, but the mate bond held a sort of leash on me. As I watched Hunter yell at her, the vivid image of her and Gunter kissing in the hallway only a few seconds ago burned right through me, sending another rush of anger through my entire being.I obviously was not in agreement with Gunter forcing Hunter and I out of the room earlier. But I only agreed to it because we reasoned that he could probably talk some sense into her.But, no! That fucking traitor!Somehow he'd gotten Liya to warm up to him. And he did a pretty darn good job at it too. So good that she did not once hesitate or pull away from the kiss."Answer me!" I barked at Liya, glaring at her as my fury multiplied tenfold.She looked aw

    Liya's POVMy body was throbbing weakly, still extremely sensitive, and my wolf had gone quiet, but it was worth the satisfaction I felt seeing their faces instantly turn gloomy. Even in the semi darkness, I could see their faces redden in annoyance as they glared at me.I knew exactly where to hit them that would hurt the most, and I did exactly that. For their fragile egos, being told that they would never match up to their brother was a huge hit. I knew they would take it very badly, and be constantly reminded of it for a long time. So it was perfect.I adjusted myself on the bed, using the sheets to cover myself. And then I folded my arms around my chest and watched them both. Hunter looked like he was about to burst into flames. But before I got a chance to gloat for hitting him very hard, he let out a guttural growl and jumped at me on the bed.His fingers wrapped around my neck and he squeezed tightly, cutting off my oxygen supply."What the FUCK did you say, bitch?!"Suddenly,

    Liya's POVMorning came faster than I would have liked, and I barely got enough sleep after being sandwiched between Hunter and Ryder all night. As soon as the sun peeked through the curtains, they roused from their sleep and immediately turned to face me.After being satisfied that I had not run away in the dead of the night, they both jumped out of the bed and threw their clothes on."Freshen up and get ready," Hunter commanded. "If you're not down in an hour, we will come get you ourselves, whether you like it or not.""And before you think of doing something stupid, there are guards stationed outside your chambers and down at the gates. So kill off any thoughts and go get dressed."Just as Ryder finished, a knock sounded at the door. Gunter walked in and froze on seeing his brothers here. But his surprise was quickly hidden."What's going on?" He asked, looking between his brothers."The mating ceremony will be held today, in an hour. So if you have any plans, cancel."Gunter cock

    LIYAHunter took my other hand in his and started to drag me towards the bedroom that was now decorated. I wanted to scoff at the fact that these people thought that by decorating their bedroom in advance for tonight that I was going to like them a bit…I had to give it to them, they were very relentless.I didn’t have any time to take a moment as I suddenly felt a push from behind, I fell on my knees on the bed.A frown settled on my lips as I looked back at them, I could see the desire igniting fire and my wolf was trying to break free but I wasn’t cut out for that.I stood on my feet, facing all three of them, my eyes were leveled with them as I was bent on forfeiting the rest of the night.I had already done their wishes and done the while ritual with them, I was sure I could skip this part.I took a step forward and they took one towards me.I frowned.“ I don’t think, this part is necessary” I said but Ryder chuckled.Hunter took a step forward and the next thing I knew, his fin

    Liya's POVAs my body spasmed violently, sending me sprawling to the floor, I threw my head back and let out a piercing scream. The voice sounded nothing like my own. Instead it was deeper, more guttural, and sounded more like a roar.I let out another scream as a painful zap of electricity buzzed through my body. My bones cracked painfully, and I was blinded by the bright bluish light that seemed to illuminate in a circle around me.One last zap frazzled every nerve in my body and I felt my bones cracking once more as I shifted to my human form."LIYA!!"Through the chaos and the daze I was still struggling to take myself out of, I could still recognize Hunter's voice. I heard footsteps as the triplets picked their way through the disarrayed chambers.But as soon as they were a foot away from me, my body flung upright. Without even meaning to, my body shifted into the defensive.Hunter reached out to touch my arm and I flung my hand away, meaning to just shove him away from me. But i

    Liya's POVI knew the journey to the academy would be long and difficult, but I hadn't anticipated just how exhausting it would be. Most of the first few hours was spent snapping my head back and forth and hiding in between trees and in rocks for fear that I was being followed.After all, it was very possible that the triplets might have awoken and were coming after me. I was ducking after every few steps and waiting for a while before jumping out of my hideout.As expected, it grew tiring, and I focused on the dreaded journey. At some point, I had to dredge through rivers and streams to get past. My clothes were wet and heavy after all of this. At some point, I even considered giving up. I could not imagine myself moving on, but somehow I got past it and pushed through.I didn't need to be told when I arrived at the academy. I looked exactly like I'd imagined; a formidable beige mediaeval castle. It was so huge and stood out so much that I wondered how I'd never heard of this place.

    Liya.My jaw hung slack, mirroring the open bathroom door. The steam from the shower still clung to the air, swirling around the impossibly broad figure standing before me. It was a man, not the tidy female roommate I'd envisioned, but a man, clothed only in his bathing suit.He was tall, with lean yet powerfully built muscles. His eyes, the color of a moss-covered forest floor, held an intensity that sent a shiver down my spine.Not that it was the first time I had seen a man, but this one seemed different. There was a lingering darkness inside of him, I could sense it by looking into his eyes. But strangely enough, I wasn’t frightened by him, instead I was drawn to him like I was a bee and he was fresh honey.“Are you just going to stand there thinking of all the ways you’re going to jump my bones? When I’m right in front of you?” He spoke in hushed tones, his voice could make one swivel with desire.“What…what are you doing here?” I managed to mumble, still wondering why he made no

    "Sorry." I apologised to the guy I'd just bumped into, cursing while straightening my bag and chiding myself."Watch where you're going." He groaned before disappearing into the crowd.I was walking to class but I had been absent minded. I was thinking about him, my roommate and it surprised me because I wasn't the type to always fawn over guys but there was just something about him that had me thinking. Was it because of his shredded abs and ruggedly masculine features, or the way his blue eyes roved over me, or the way his deep voice instantly calmed my nerves, I couldn't tell.Chiding myself, I reminded myself that I had a mate before hurrying to the lecture hall. I walked into the throng of students and slipped inside before making my way towards an empty seat towards the back before setting my bag down with some relief. I settled into my chair and opened my notebook, but that was when I heard the conversation behind me.A group of girls were speaking excitedly among themselves ab

    Liya’s Pov.Ever since Gunter saw me with Hunter and Ryder, he has been acting weird around me. Although, we had talked, I could tell he was still walking on egg shells around me.How could he even think I wanted just the two of them and not him? It was both funny and absurd at the same time.I decided to look for him, so I could speak to him and clear his doubts.Where could he be? My eyes scanned the room to see if I would be able to catch a glimpse of him, but everywhere I turned to was filled up with strange faces.I kept walking, trying by best to avoid contact with anyone. I walked until I stumbled Into a room, immediately closing the door and banging my head on it showing just how frustrated I was.It did not take long before I started hearing moans. It seemed l has barged into a room with people having sex."Sorry," I said trying my best to tender an apology and then trying to open the door.

    Gunter’s POVLiya's smile, though small and heartbreaking, was the last flicker of light before she succumbed to the very darkness she had eradicated.The glow of her fur was dimmed, and it slowly disappeared as she allowed it to swallow her whole. Panic clawed at my throat.This couldn't be it. Not after everything we'd been through. “No. No. You can’t fucking leave us Liya! Not now, not ever!” I growled, holding her limp wolf form in my arms.My wolf felt disoriented, it was as good as death. Why was fate so cruel? Why would it take her from us again? Especially now, when everything was fine.It was depressing that my mate had to sacrifice herself, so others would live. My wolf howled within me, a loud and sad sound that reverberated the grief I felt within.We were a mess. Rage and despair twisted our features, a sight that chilled the onlookers to the bone.We snarled like cornered animals, ready to rip apart anything that dared approach Liya's still form.We'd fought tooth and na

    Liya.Jafar's grin was a chilling sight, a cruel reflection of the devastation he'd unleashed.The cages groaned open, spilling forth a tide of snarling, monstrous figures. My heart hammered a frantic rhythm against my ribs, fear a cold weight in my gut.The monsters were too much. I paled as I recalled the ones outside, currently killing more people. If these ones were to get out, it would be a disaster. It all had to end, here and now.We formed a tight circle, backs pressed together, silver weapons gleaming in our hands.I was in between Gunter and Ryder, who was beside Hunter. “We need to kill him first.” I muttered under my breath.Jafar watched us, his amusement evident. "Pathetic," he drawled, his voice dripping with venom. "Preparing to fight against your own kind. This is what happens when you mess with a vampire's vengeance."I mentally rolled my eyes. Like the vengeance wasn’t unfairly directed towards us.“The only way to kill a vampire is to stab his heart with a wooden s

    Jafar.The world spun as the weight of his words crashed down on me. Executed? My beautiful Charlotte, gone? The air in the cage seemed to thin, making it difficult to breathe.I roared continuously; a sound laced with a primal grief that echoed through the damp stone walls.They snarled at the cage, fangs bared and claws extended. Laughter, cruel and mocking, filled the air. My vision blurred with a mix of rage and tears, a dangerous mix that simmered within me.Days bled into weeks, then months. The damp, dark dungeon became my new reality. They threw scraps of food at me, barely enough to keep me alive. But that wasn't their worst torture.One day, a lean werewolf with a nervous glint in his eyes entered my cage. He was the pack "doctor," tasked with experimenting on me. He shoved vials filled with strange, glowing liquids of different colors into my mouth.The concoctions were vile, some burning my throat like molten fire, others leaving me with a metallic tang that lingered for d

    Liya.The air around me was heavy with tension as I approached the triplet’s tents. I could hear them bickering and it gave me intense joy. It was fun to watch them argue like children, especially when it came to matters concerning me.Ever since I was attacked by the vampire, they’ve been acting like my parents, always hovering around me and dictating what I should and shouldn’t do. However, unlike before, this time they were more open to what I wanted and what I didn’t want.I stood by the entrance of their room and was about to enter when I saw Gunter leave the room angrily.The argument must have been pretty serious for him to leave like that, he didn’t even spare a single glance at me.The room suddenly went silent as I strode into the tent, everyone staring at me like I had grown a second head.“Liya, what are you doing here?” Hunter asked, his eyes piqued with curiosity.“Nothing, Uhm.. you see… well, I came to pay you guys a visit.” I stuttered.“A visit?” Ryder repeated, furr

    Jafar’s POV“We met under the full moon. She had just transformed, and I was hunting for dinner.” I started, my heart constricting with the grief that had aged in a matter of a few months, more than I have in the thousands of years I had lived.The irony of it all still stings. Hunger had led me to her clearing, an unexpected encounter that would rewrite my entire existence. But fate, it seems, has a cruel sense of humor.She was breathtaking under the moon's glow, her fur shimmering silver, eyes glowing with a primal energy that both terrified and enthralled me.Our fight was brief, more of a ruffle, and intentional physical contact than a true battle. When I finally pinned her down, expecting the usual snarls and threats, I was met with wide, curious eyes and a hesitant question."Why are you hunting in our land?" she'd asked, her voice a melody that resonated deep within me.I should have fled then, vanished into the night before the truth could complicate things. But something hel

    Liya’s POVOver the next few days, the triplets were very reluctant to leave me. They’d come up with one excuse or the other each time I wanted them to leave.Some of them made sense, while other were just so ridiculously bizarre, they’d leave me speechless. One time, I wanted to soak in a bath, but they said they’d stay with me, in case I drowned.“There’s no way in hell I’m letting you stay with me while I soak in a bath.” I had told them, with a slight scowl on my face.“Good thing we are not in hell then.” Hunter had retorted. I looked between them, wondering what they were up to.If I was to soak in a bath, I’d be fucking naked. I was not ready for that kind of sexual tension. It’s bad enough as it is – when we work together in their study. Alone.The days were somewhat peaceful, but we all knew that there was danger lurking. Those few days were just the calm before the storm.And sure enough, the storm came. Raging and unapologetic.One of the guards in charge of the border patr

    Liya’s POVThe forest floor felt welcoming beneath my throbbing back, the cool night air a balm on my sweat-slicked skin. But the triplets wouldn't hear of it.Apparently, a near-death experience with a vengeful vampire wasn't enough to convince them I was perfectly fine.Note the extreme sarcasm.I knew I was a bit weak, but I was fine. It was nothing serious.I had to remind them I had been doing fine on my own before our paths crossed again, but I knew that would start a war I wasn’t ready for. So I just let them do what they want and played along with it."Hospital," Ryder declared, his voice leaving no room for argument. "Now.""Guys, seriously," I groaned, pushing myself up to a sitting position. "I'm fine. Just a few scratches and a bruised ego, courtesy of Mr. Fangs-a-lot."Gunter knelt beside me; his brow furrowed in concern. "Scratches? Liya, you were wrestling a vampire! You could be internally bleeding, and we don’t know what he could have done to you!"“We also need to ma

    Liya’s POVI could feel the sting of his fangs, they were about to enter my skin, but then, a jolt of energy surged through my body. The bright light that represented the moon wolf power surged through me.This time, it was hot and fast, you could say like lightening, but slightly slower.My guess is that it felt that way because it was repelling or neutralizing whatever little poison that had entered by body through that little pinch of Jafar’s fangs.He recoiled with a hiss, his hand flying away from my throat as if burned.Confusion battled with the pain throbbing in my chest. I clawed my way to my hands and knees, gasping for breath. My lungs burned, and a metallic tang filled my mouth."What… what was that?" Jafar snarled, his voice laced with a newfound tremor. "Why are you not turning?"Slowly, painfully, I pushed myself to my feet. My body ached like I'd been hit by a truck, but I was still standing. Still breathing. Still me.Ha-ha!
