A chill slithered through the air.

Not the natural kind that came with the Forgotten Sanctuary’s age, nor the damp cold that clung to its stone walls. This was different. Alive. Watching. Waiting.

Nicola felt it before she saw it - a ripple in the air, a shift in the space around them, as if the darkness itself was coiling inward. The pages of the notebook trembled in her grasp, a silent warning.

Lucas’ body tensed beside her. “Something’s coming.”

Elias stepped forward, his eyes narrowing. “Not something,” he corrected. “It.”

The force that had been lurking in the edges of her fate, the one woven into the ritual itself. The presence that did not just demand her sacrifice - it was born from it.

And it wasn’t going to let her leave.

The candlelight flickered, then vanished.

Darkness swallowed them whole.

A low, guttural whisper curled through the chamber, slithering along the walls like a living thing. Nicola’s breath caught as the air thickened, pressing down on her chest. It wasn’t s

  • Omega and Alpha Triplets   Chapter 158 : The Weight of Freedom

    A sound that was not a sound split the air.A cry, a scream, a wail of something ancient and enraged. The chamber shook violently, the stone walls groaning under the force of it. The darkness convulsed, writhing like a living creature as the blade tore through its essence.Nicola felt it - something ripping apart, something trying to claw at her one last time before it was unmade.The notebook on the ground burst into flame, the pages curling in on themselves as ink bled out, erasing words written in another lifetime. The symbols on the pedestal cracked, glowing briefly before crumbling into dust.The force screamed.And then - silence.Nicola gasped, stumbling forward, her knees nearly giving out as the darkness collapsed inward, folding into nothingness.Elias caught her before she hit the ground, steadying her. “It’s done,” he said, his voice low, steady.Lucas exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. “Holy shit.”The room felt different. Lighter. Freed.Nicola’s fingers s

  • Omega and Alpha Triplets   Chapter 159 : Hidden Pieces

    The whisper was gone.But the air still felt thick - as if something unseen lingered just beyond reach.Nicola’s pulse pounded as she tightened her grip on the dagger. The runes along its blade gleamed faintly, pulsing in a rhythm that felt disturbingly like a heartbeat. It wasn’t just an ancient weapon anymore.It was reacting to something.Something still here.She took a step forward.Lucas was immediately at her side, his hand darting out to grip her wrist. “Nic, stop. What the hell are you doing?”She barely heard him. The pull was stronger now - not a force, not a command, but an invitation. A whispering thread winding itself around her ribs, urging her forward.“There’s something else,” she murmured, barely aware she was speaking aloud. “Something beneath us.”Elias exhaled sharply, his voice a growl of frustration. “Damn it, Nicola. You already broke the ritual - you don’t need to go looking for more trouble.”But that was the problem.She hadn’t gone looking for it. It had al

  • Omega and Alpha Triplets   Chapter 160 : The Bond Calls Them Back

    Triplets POV The moment the bond snapped back into place, they moved.Damien, Dylan, and Dean had felt the agonizing absence of it for too long - like a phantom limb, a missing piece of their very existence. But now, it was back. Strong. Unyielding.And leading them straight to her.The Forgotten Sanctuary loomed ahead, its presence thick with ancient magic. When they first arrived, an unnatural weight pressed against them - oppressive, hostile, warning them away. Their wolves bristled, senses on high alert. It wasn’t just old power. It was something alive. Watching. Waiting.Then, everything shifted. Trembled. Like it was going to collapse.The darkness that had curled around them like claws withdrew. The air changed. No longer suffocating - now, it was something else. A quiet hum, a careful, measured awareness, as if the Sanctuary itself had recognized them. A silent acknowledgment.Relief flooded through their bond.Damien exhaled sharply. “She’s here.”Dylan’s wolf pushed forward

    Nicola held the book tightly against her chest, her fingers curling around its ancient leather cover as Damien’s powerful strides carried her forward.The Forgotten Sanctuary trembled around them - stones shifting, magic rippling through the very air. But she didn’t feel fear.She felt warmth.A deep, slow-burning warmth settled in her chest, unfurling like embers catching fire. It wasn’t the cold, consuming pull of fate or the sharp sting of destiny’s chains.It was something else.Hope.And something she couldn’t yet name.Damien’s muscles coiled beneath her as he leapt over a crumbling section of floor, Dylan and Dean flanking them with fierce precision. Elias and Lucas sprinted ahead, their silhouettes barely visible in the dust and shifting light.Nicola kept her grip firm, both on Damien’s thick fur and the book in her arms. She could feel it humming against her skin, as if the magic woven into its pages recognized her touch.As if it belonged to her.The moment they reached the

  • Omega and Alpha Triplets   Chapter 162 : Divine Meeting

    The Forgotten Sanctuary was no longer forgotten.The moonlight cast an ethereal glow on the sanctuary’s newly rebuilt walls, tracing silver patterns over the smooth stone. Even the vines, once shriveled and lifeless, coiled elegantly along the structure, like they had been waiting for this moment to breathe again.Nicola could feel it - something deeper had changed. The air had warmth now, a gentle hum of energy thrumming beneath her skin.This wasn’t just a place of the past.It was alive.Nicola tightened her grip on the book, its weight grounding her as she walked forward, entering the sanctuary once more. With each step, the sanctuary transformed - columns once cracked and broken knitted themselves back together, marble polished itself to a pearlescent glow, and the intricate murals along the walls restored their faded colors.Her eyes traced the images, and her breath caught. The Moon Goddess. Carved into the stone, her figure loomed above them, her arms outstretched, a silver ha

    Nicola’s fingers brushed over the book’s leather cover, the runes on it glowing faintly beneath her touch. She exhaled slowly, trying to steady her racing heart.A presence gathered around her, unseen yet impossibly close. Her wolf pressed forward, drawn to the call of something greater. Nicola’s breath hitched as a soft, silvery mist curled around her feet. It swirled, moving with a purpose, until it coalesced into a radiant figure before them.The Moon Goddess.She stood in a form both ethereal and solid, her gown woven from the very fabric of the cosmos, shimmering with shifting constellations. Her silver eyes, endless and knowing, settled on Nicola. A profound warmth washed over her, reverent and overwhelming all at once.Nicola sank to her knees instinctively, head bowed. The others followed, their expressions a mix of awe and quiet reverence.“Rise, my child,” the Moon Goddess’s voice resonated, neither loud nor soft, but carrying the weight of eternity.Nicola obeyed, swallowin

    The warmth of the meal still lingered in Nicola’s chest, but the weight of everything that had happened pressed down on her shoulders. The Moon Goddess had spoken to her. Blessed her. Given her a purpose greater than she had ever imagined.Now, standing in the vast, ancient halls of the restored sanctuary, she felt something she hadn't dared to in a long time. Safety.Dylan stretched his arms above his head, letting out a satisfied groan. "I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m about two bites away from passing out."Dean smirked. "Two? You’ve already eaten enough to put a normal man into a food coma."Dylan shrugged unapologetically. "What can I say? Near-death experiences and divine encounters work up an appetite."Lucas chuckled, shaking his head. “That meal was good, but what I really need is a real bed.”Damien shot a glance down the corridor. "Then let's find one. This place seems... aware of us. It wouldn’t surprise me if it already had rooms waiting."Nicola nodded, finge

  • Omega and Alpha Triplets   Chapter 165 : Dormant Bond

    Steam curled through the air as Nicola stepped out of the bath, wrapping herself in a thick, soft robe. The sanctuary provided everything they needed, and the water had been soothing, washing away the exhaustion and tension in her muscles.She had bathed quickly, knowing the triplets were waiting to talk. They had settled in their rooms, but the interconnected living space gave them an easy way to gather. As she stepped into the common area, she found them already lounging - Dean stretched out on one of the furs, Damien seated near the fire, and Dylan, as usual, restless, flipping a small dagger between his fingers.Nicola took a seat across from them, exhaling. “Alright. What’s on your minds?”Damien was the first to speak. “You, mostly.” His golden eyes studied her carefully. “You’ve had a lot thrown at you, and yet you keep pushing forward. We just want to make sure you’re actually processing all of it.”She gave a small, tired smile. “I don’t think I’ve had the luxury of processin

  • Omega and Alpha Triplets   Chapter 171 : The Path Ahead

    When with a deep groan, the far wall shifted. Stone scraped against stone, and slowly, an ancient engraving peeled away, revealing a hidden passage cloaked in shadow.A hush fell over the room.Nicola’s heartbeat thundered in her ears as she stepped forward, drawn by something deeper than curiosity - something primal, something written in her soul. The sanctuary was speaking. And it was time to listen.Lucas was at her side in an instant, his golden eyes locked onto the revealed passage. The triplets weren’t far behind, their wolves stirred by the shift in energy. Elias, ever composed, stood still for a long moment before exhaling quietly."Listen," her wolf whispered.A deep voice, not of this world, echoed through the chamber."The bonded protectors have been chosen. The path ahead is fraught with darkness, but you shall stand as one. The Moon’s power flows through you, but it is not enough. You must unlock the final truth of the sanctuary."Nicola swallowed hard, her fingers tighten

  • Omega and Alpha Triplets   Chapter 170 : Sealed by the Moon

    Nicola and Lucas came back inside and sat in one of the common rooms. The air in the sanctuary felt charged, expectant, as if the ancient walls were listening, waiting.Neither of them spoke for a long moment. Then, Lucas let out a slow breath."So... this is it, then," he murmured, his voice quiet but steady. "We’re not breaking the bond."Nicola met his gaze, searching for any doubt in his storm-gray eyes. But she found none. Only quiet acceptance.“No,” she said, her voice stronger than she expected. “We’re not.”The words left her lips, and the moment they did, something shifted.A sudden, invisible force rippled through the room, like the very air was inhaling. The flames in the fireplace flared high, throwing long shadows across the stone walls. A deep hum vibrated beneath them, resonating through the sanctuary itself, as if the ancient structure had awakened.Lucas tensed beside her, his fingers curling into fists. “What the hell...”Then the power hit.A surge of something - v

  • Omega and Alpha Triplets   Chapter 169 : Difficult Conversation

    The sanctuary was vast, stretching beyond what Nicola had initially thought. The deeper they explored, the more she realized this place held more than just history - it held purpose.The morning air was crisp as she wandered through the ancient corridors, sunlight streaming in through arched windows. Despite the newfound knowledge of their bonds, the weight of it still pressed against her chest.Lucas.Even though she had spent the last night discussing the truth with the triplets and him, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something about this arrangement was wrong.Not for her. For him.The triplets had each been chosen as her mates in a way that made sense. The connection between them was unshakable. But Lucas… he hadn’t been given a choice.Fated mates were meant to be everything to each other. They were supposed to build a life together, to love without hesitation.And yet, Lucas had been given a fate that denied him that chance.Nicola ran a hand through her hair, frustration b

  • Omega and Alpha Triplets   Chapter 168 : Wine Cellar

    Nicola wandered through the vast halls of the sanctuary, searching for the triplets and Lucas. The flickering torchlight cast long shadows along the ancient stone walls, and the faint echoes of her footsteps were the only sounds accompanying her. She had expected to find them in one of the training halls or perhaps in the great hall, but each room she checked was empty. The night was growing late, and an odd sense of urgency pressed against her chest.Finally, a muffled laugh drifted through the corridor, drawing her toward a heavy wooden door reinforced with iron. Raising an eyebrow, she pushed it open and descended into the cool, dimly lit space of the wine cellar. The scent of oak barrels and aged liquor filled the air, and there, gathered around an old wooden table, were the triplets and Lucas.The sight nearly made her laugh. Damien leaned back in his chair, a dark bottle of wine in his grip, smirking at something Dylan had just said. Dylan, ever the troublemaker, was in the midd

  • Omega and Alpha Triplets   Chapter 167 : New Reality

    Nicola POV The moon hung high in the sky, casting its silver glow over the sanctuary gardens. Nicola sat on a smooth stone bench, the ancient book resting on her lap. The scent of night-blooming flowers filled the air, blending with the crisp freshness of the restored sanctuary. Here, beneath the vast sky, she could breathe - yet her thoughts felt tangled.She traced her fingers over the runes on the book’s cover, feeling the pulse of ancient magic beneath her touch. The pages were filled with knowledge lost to time, wisdom hidden from those who had been caged by fate. Somewhere in these words was the answer to the bond with Lucas, and she was determined to find it.She flipped through the delicate pages, her eyes skimming over old scripts detailing the history of mate bonds. Most were simple - sacred connections meant to strengthen wolves and their packs. But then she found something different, something that sent a shiver down her spine."There are bonds woven by the gods themselve

    Lucas POV The air inside the sanctuary still carried the lingering scent of roasted meat and warm bread, but outside, the crisp night air held a different kind of energy - charged, restless. The stone corridors stretched in quiet elegance, their once-faded carvings now sharp and defined, almost humming with life.Lucas walked alongside the triplets, feeling the weight of their unspoken thoughts pressing against his back like a tangible force. The tension between them had not dissipated, despite the shared meal and the Moon Goddess’s blessing. If anything, it had thickened, an undercurrent of possessiveness laced with grudging acceptance.Dean was the first to break the silence. "You realize you still haven’t answered our question."Lucas kept his pace even. "Which one?"Dylan scoffed. "Don’t play dumb." He glanced at his brothers before turning his sharp gaze back to Lucas. "Why were you here? When Nicola and Elias arrived at the sanctuary, you were already waiting. That’s one hell o
