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

    Liya's POVI could clearly see the questioning looks on the maids faces as they led me out of the car and into the mansion. They looked from the departing form of the triplets back to me huddled in the car, trying to put two and two together.I was certain I could pinpoint the exact words running through their heads on seeing me in the backseat of the triplets' car. This did not come as a surprise to me, especially since the entire pack was aware of the triplets' hatred for me. Not only was bullying me their favorite hobby, they had also given room for the other pack members to make my life a living hell as well.But I knew the maidservants would ask no questions. If they were friends with me they would have bombarded me with queries. But they were all too proud to do such a thing, so I knew they would settle with gossip.Regardless, I led them lead me away, struggling to walk from all the pain I was feeling. I did not feel as terrible as I did the first day, and despite the doctor's

    Hunter's POVLiya was a literal fucking vision to behold. After the heated argument we just had with Father, my brothers and I sought comfort in the presence of our mate. And when we walked into her room to see her curled up in a ball and sleeping peacefully, my wolf howled in contentment.The primal urge to mark her right there and then along with my brothers tortured me greatly. But with father's threats and warnings and even Liya's own restrictions, I knew we had no choice but to wait. So I decided I would make do with just watching her silently.The thought of the bastard Connor flashed through my mind, sending unresolved rage through me and making me clench my fists. Every time the image of him about to claim Liya flashed through my head, my anger multiplied tenfold. For the umpteenth time since we returned to the pack house, I wish we killed that bastard! His abrupt disappearance was a mystery that still niggled in the back of my mind. And since his whereabouts were unknown, the

    Liya's POVI jumped from my bed at the sound of my alarm blaring through the room. Big mistake! I gasped from the pain that shot through my spine, taking a few seconds to recover. It had been four days since my transformation, and I couldn't believe my bones were still aching. Did it usually happen like this? I was already dreading my next transformation. At this rate it would kill me!Shuddering at the thought, I hopped out of bed and hurried into the bathroom. It was a school day, and against my will I would have to attend. I had no choice whatsoever. Left to me, I was not keen on being the victim of bullying both at the pack and in school. It was the main reason why I detested the four walls of that school so badly. But what could I do?The answer stared right back at me in the face; absolutely nothing.Groaning, I turned on the shower and proceeded to scrub myself clean. This bathroom was also an upgrade from the last one. The first thing I checked once I started using it was that

    Liya's POVThis had to be the longest school day I had ever had! Coupled with the drama with the triplets from earlier today and the taunting and bullying I received from my classmates, I could hardly wait for the day to end. Although it occured to me that I would not have a moment's rest even after returning to the pack, I decided that it would be better there anyway. At least the triplets had eased off on me for whatever reason. Even if it was a prank I was determined to enjoy it while it lasted.It took all the strength and self discipline I had to crawl into my next and final class for today, my most dreaded class; P.E.I had always hated this class because I was not good at sports, being very weak and fatigued from overworking, and each time I tried to work with a team, they would never let me participate, and would instead make a fool of me to make everyone else laugh.But still I was not excused from the class. It was compulsory.Lazily, I walked to a hiding place and changed i

    Liya's POVThe sharp throbbing in my head jerked me out of my unconscious state. I groaned, clutching at my head in pain. I wasn't exactly sure how long I was knocked out cold for, but when I finally awakened, I found myself in the back of a moving vehicle. I was so startled that I jerked up, forgetting about the terrible state of my wrists and ankles. The pain was unbearable, but I bit down on my lip to keep myself from hissing in agony.The reality that I was being abducted dawned on me as I sat upright and tried to recognize my surroundings. My eyes darted to the two men who were seated in front of the car, one driving while the other leaned against his seat lazily. I could not see their faces because they had pulled off the rearview mirror."Who are you?! Where are you taking me to?!" I demanded, trying to sound bolder than I actually felt.The atmosphere in the car was eerie, the men not as much as even paying attention to me. I tried again to push and ask questions but all my qu

    Liya's POVMy heart pounded erratically in my chest as I stared up at the men who hovered over me with lewd intent in their eyes. My stomach churned in discomfort, tears welling up in my eyes as I wondered what they were going to do to me. Why was I here? What had I done to get abducted? I didn't harm anyone, I didn't cheat or steal from anyone, so why?!The thought of the triplets being the mastermind behind this flashed through my mind once more. But I thought back to the banquet I clearly heard Alpha Wade urging them to attend, and it made me unsure. I had also borne the brunt of their harshness and been subjected to their bullying for long enough to know that this was not their style. I knew they would have come on their own instead of sending these strange men. Which begged the question; who on earth was after me.I wanted to try screaming for help again, but the men had gagged me and secured my lips with a piece of tape. I shook my head violently, trying to get away, but this on

    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.

    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!
