Carlo's POV

The music played loudly, echoing around the pool as the party went on. Women giggled and clung to me like they always did — desperate for a little attention. I leaned back on the chair, sipping my drink slowly, my golden eyes fixed on one person.

Aria.

I expected her to glance my way — to feel jealous seeing me surrounded by beautiful women.

But she didn't.

Instead, she walked away like I didn't even exist.

My jaw clenched.

What was wrong with her?

Every woman in this pack wanted to be close to me. They fought for a second of my attention... but not Aria.

My mate.

She didn't even spare me a single glance.

I watched her from afar as she changed direction, smiling and talking to some of the pack members like I wasn't even there. The sound of her soft laughter reached my ears, making something burn inside me.

How could she ignore me so easily?

I clenched the glass in my hand until it almost broke.

I needed to get away before I did something I'd regret.

I stormed into the rest

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   CHAPTER 24

    Aria's POV I stared at the ceiling of my small room, replaying yesterday's events in my head.I shouldn't have asked Carlo to reject me.It was a mistake — an impulsive decision born out of anger. I think I completely lost my mind yesterday. Now I had made another enemy in this pack.I sighed, turning to my side.I came here seeking protection... not trouble. But somehow, trouble always found me. I got out of bed early, trying to push the thoughts away.The hospital was the only place I could feel useful — even if everyone hated me there.When I arrived, the judging eyes were already waiting for me.Whispers followed me like shadows."Criminal...""She must have seduced the Alpha...""How could someone like her be a doctor?"I pretended not to hear them.It wasn't the first time — and it wouldn't be the last.I kept my head down and went straight to the changing room, putting on my white coat.The day dragged on with nothing unusual. I cleaned wounds, prepared medicines, and checked

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   CHAPTER 25

    Aria's POVThe coldness of the dungeon walls pressed against my back as I sat on the hard floor. The silence was deafening, only broken by the faint sound of water dripping from somewhere I couldn't see. My heart was heavy, and my mind was restless. I wanted answers, but all I could do was wait.Alexander stood in front of me with his arms crossed. His dark eyes stared at me without saying anything. The way he looked at me made my skin crawl. I didn't know what he was thinking, and that made me anxious. The silence stretched between us like an invisible rope, pulling at my nerves.Why wasn't he saying anything? If he wanted to torture me like this, he was doing a great job at it.Finally, after what felt like forever, he spoke."Tell me everything that happened... five years ago."I blinked in surprise, not expecting that question. I thought he would ask about the hospital incident—what happened with the poisoned girl. But instead, he went straight to the past—the past I tried so hard

    Xeros's POV"What? Aria is in trouble?"The moment I heard that Aria was imprisoned, a wave of anger rushed through me. My hands clenched into fists, and my claws threatened to come out. I couldn't believe they locked her up—after everything she did to save my life."Where is she?" I asked in a low, dangerous voice.Beta Liam stood in front of me, his head lowered in respect. He knew better than to test my patience right now."In the dungeon, Alpha.. Alpha Carlo seems to be the one who gave the order."Carlo.Of course, it was him. My brother's always making things difficult for me when I'm only trying to make things good for us. We already found our mate and we should be protecting her despite the odds. Why is he and Alexander doing this?Without wasting another second, I stood up from my chair."I'm going to see her."Liam quickly stepped aside, knowing better than to argue with me. But before I could take another step, Carlo appeared at the door with that annoying smirk on his fac

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   Chapter 27

    Sage's POVI walked slowly through the long hallway, my heels clicking against the cold marble floor. My heart was racing with excitement, but I kept my face calm. Today was finally going to be the day Aria disappeared from this world—just like she should have five years ago.I pushed the heavy door open and walked into Lucas's office. He was sitting behind his desk, sipping from a glass of whiskey. His sharp green eyes flicked up at me, filled with curiosity."You're late," he said in his usual cold tone.I smiled sweetly, walking closer to him."I had to make sure everything was going as planned."Lucas leaned back in his chair, his gaze locked on me."And?""It's done," I said proudly. "I already sent someone to deal with her. She thinks she's safe in that pack, but they'll get rid of her soon."A dark smile spread across Lucas's face as he swirled the whiskey in his glass."Good."Hearing that word made my heart swell with satisfaction. Finally, Aria would be gone, and I would no

    Alexander’s POVXeros and I returned to our pack, our minds heavy with what had happened. The confrontation with Lucas had not gone as expected. He had not admitted to harming Aria, but his words and arrogance made it clear that he was involved somehow. Now, we needed proof—real evidence to show who was behind this setup.The moment we arrived, I wasted no time."Gather the hospital staff," I ordered our warriors. "I want every nurse, doctor, and worker who was there when the little girl was poisoned."Xeros stood beside me, his expression cold."They will lie," he said. "They will say whatever they have been told to say."I nodded. "Then we’ll make them tell the truth."Soon, the hospital staff arrived, standing in a line before us. Their faces were filled with fear, but not for the right reasons. They weren’t afraid of the lie they had told. They were afraid of being caught.I stepped forward, my voice calm but firm."You all know why you’re here. We are investigating what happened

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   Chapter 29

    Aria's POV The cold stone walls of the dungeon had become my only companion in the past few days. The damp air smelled of rust and mold, making it hard to breathe. My wrists were sore from the heavy chains, and my body ached from the cold floor I had been forced to sleep on.I kept telling myself I had to be strong, that I couldn’t break. But deep inside, fear gnawed at my heart. Would I ever get out of here? Would Xeros or Alexander even believe me?I heard the sound of footsteps outside the cold prison walls, and my body tensed. I had been told that Xeros and Alexander would be coming to see me today. I thought maybe they would finally listen to me, hear my side of the story. But when the heavy door swung open, I was met with rough hands grabbing me instead."Get up," a guard barked, yanking me to my feet.I struggled to my feet, my limbs stiff and weak. The chains rattled as I moved."Where are you taking me?" I asked, my voice hoarse from days of silence.They didn’t answer. Inst

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   CHAPTER 30

    Aria’s POVA soft breeze brushed against my skin, and I stirred, my body aching as if I had been trampled by a pack of wolves. My head throbbed, my limbs felt heavy, and for a moment, I couldn’t remember where I was. My eyelids fluttered open, and I stared at the unfamiliar ceiling above me. The room smelled of herbs and something faintly metallic—probably blood.Was I… dead?No. The dull pain in my body told me otherwise.I turned my head slightly, and my breath hitched when I saw someone sitting beside me. Not Alexander. Not Xeros.Carlo.I stiffened.Why was he here?My last memory was of Xeros and Alexander arriving at the execution grounds, stopping the elders from sentencing me to death. But now, instead of either of them, it was Carlo, sitting there like he belonged.“What the hell are you doing here?” My voice was hoarse, but my anger was sharp.Carlo smirked. "Good morning to you too, mate."I scowled. "Don't call me that."He leaned back in his chair, completely unbothered b

    Aria’s POVThe night was quiet, the air thick with the scent of pine and earth. The dim glow of the moon barely lit the path ahead as I walked silently through the packhouse halls. My heart pounded against my ribs, each step feeling heavier than the last.I knew this was dangerous.But I had to do it.After everything that happened, I couldn't just sit back and pretend like I was safe here. Not when I didn’t even know who was behind my suffering. If Sage and Lucas were the ones who set me up, I needed to find out the truth myself.Xeros wouldn’t let me go if I told him.That’s why I had to sneak out.Dinner with him earlier had been tense. He had requested I eat with him, and I knew better than to refuse. I sat at the table, eating in silence while he watched me with his usual unreadable gaze. He didn’t ask anything, didn’t say much—just told me to eat.It was as if he knew I was planning something.But he didn’t stop me.And now, here I was, slipping through the shadows like a thief.

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   Chapter 78

    Aria’s POV The sunlight peeked through the long curtains and fell softly on my face. I opened my eyes slowly and blinked a few times. For a second, I forgot where I was. Then I remembered… I was in Xeros’s room. His scent was still strong in the room, that familiar mix of clean soap and something dark that always made me feel strange inside.I turned quickly to the side. His bed was empty. I sat up straight. The sheets were cold, meaning he had left for a while. I ran my fingers through my hair and got out of bed. I was still in the same clothes from yesterday. Everything that happened kept playing in my head—Sage, my grandmother, Alexander, Lucas… and Xeros saving us.Where did he go so early?I left the room, thinking I’d check outside, maybe the training field. On my way back down the hallway, I bumped into someone. I stumbled a little and looked up.“Carlo?”He gave a small smirk and crossed his arms. “Well, you look surprised to see me.”“I didn’t expect you here.”He tilted his

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   Chapter 77 

    Aria’s POVI turned around an indeed my guess was right. It was Xeros who came to rescue us. He looked powerful, standing tall in his dark clothes, his eyes glowing like fire. But I noticed something—his arm was bleeding. He was holding his side tightly. He was hurt. Badly hurt. But he didn’t show it on his face.My heart jumped in my chest the moment I saw him. “Xeros…”He looked at me and gave a small smile, even though I could see the pain behind it. How did he even manage to find us and how did he get hurt again? Lucas stepped back in shock. “You… you’re supposed to be dead.”Xeros smirked. “You’ll have to try harder next time.”I saw the way Lucas looked at him. His face twisted in confusion and fear. He didn’t expect Xeros to survive. He looked like he had just seen a ghost.Xeros slowly walked forward, the wolves surrounding us like a protective wall. “You tried to kill me,” he said, his voice low and dangerous. “But now I’m alive… and I promise, Lucas, you will pay for it.

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   Chapter 76

    Aria’s POVI stared straight at Sage.She was sitting on the floor, tied up and weak, but when I said those words, her eyes widened like she’d seen a ghost.“Why did you try to kill Xeros?” I asked again, slowly this time.For a moment, she didn’t say anything. Just kept blinking like she couldn’t believe I’d asked her that. Then her mouth opened.“What?” Her voice was high and sharp. “You think I tried to kill him? Are you out of your mind?!”I didn’t answer. I just kept looking at her. Her face looked pale, but her eyes had that usual fire. The fire she always used to cover up her lies.She started shaking her head fast. “No! No! That wasn’t me! I didn’t— I would never—”But I wasn’t sure I believed her. Maybe she was telling the truth. Maybe she was just scared, and it really wasn’t her.But my heart… it wasn’t ready to trust her. Not after everything.I took a deep breath and looked down. My hands were shaking a little, but I clenched them. “You knew he was getting close to the tr

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   Chapter 75 

    Aria’s POVI followed Alexander quietly, staying close enough to not lose him, and also so he wouldn't lose me. My heart was beating so fast in my chest. I didn’t know what exactly I would find, but something inside me kept warning me that I was going to see something painful.The night air was cold. I felt a lot of Goosebumps trying to walk around. My feet made soft sounds as I stepped on dry leaves, but I didn’t stop moving. I just needed to know what was going on. I needed to see it with my own eyes.We passed through some bushes and took a sharp turn. That was when I saw it. This wasn't where we're supposed to stopped but what am I looking at?My legs froze on the spot. My breath stopped.There, in the middle of the quiet garden behind the old house… was my grandmother. She was lying down on a wooden bench with a thin cloth over her. She wasn’t moving. Her skin looked pale and dry. Her lips were cracked.And standing beside her… was Sage.My heart burned with so much anger that I

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   Chapter 74 

    Aria's POV I knew Alexander was up to something, but I didn’t quite know what he wanted to do. I was trying to figure it out, so I pretended to have gone back to my room. I knew he was watching me, and the only way he could be sure was if I was settled down in my room. Now, I needed to follow him to find out. I know they asked me to sit down and stop being nosy, but I just can’t stop myself. If he’s going to put himself in danger because of me, I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep at all.And just like I thought, he was going out of the pack without anyone. More like he was sneaking out because he didn’t want the guards to see him or follow him, because he might attract attention, which is something he’s probably trying to hide from me. Let’s say this is something he and Xeros planned.I carefully followed him out, and I saw he was going in the direction of my pack. I was so scared and didn’t know what to do because I was too worried to go into that place alone. And most importantly,

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   Chapter 73

    Alexander’s POVI walked quietly into Xeros’s room, the door clicking shut behind me. He was sitting up now, the covers pulled to his waist, a glass of water in his hand. The pale sunlight spilling from the window made him look even more fragile than I remembered. His body was still weak, but his eyes were sharp—too sharp for someone who just survived poison.Aria was sitting beside him, holding his hand and whispering something I couldn’t hear. When she noticed me standing at the door, she turned to look at me with a faint smile.“I’ll give you both some space,” she said softly and stood up.“No,” I said quickly. “I actually need to speak with my brother. Alone.”Her eyes narrowed slightly. She hesitated, like she didn’t want to leave, but she gave Xeros a gentle pat on the shoulder and left the room without saying another word. I waited until the door clicked shut behind her. I even walked over to make sure she wasn’t standing behind it like last time.Xeros raised an eyebrow. “You’

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   Chapter 72

    Xeros's POVThe soft glow of morning light streamed through the curtains, touching my face with warmth. It was gentle, yet it made my eyes flutter open slowly. My whole body felt heavy like I had been carrying a mountain through my dreams. But the weight on my chest… it wasn’t just pain. It was the memory of everything that happened.The arrow. The poison. The argument with Edgar. The darkness I fell into.I blinked a few times and turned my head. Sitting by my bed was someone I didn’t expect right away—Carlo. His arms were crossed, and he looked tired, like he hadn’t slept much. But when he saw me move, his eyes widened and he leaned forward.“Hey… Xeros?” His voice sounded cautious, like he wasn’t sure if I was fully awake or just imagining things.I cleared my throat. “Yeah… I’m awake.”Carlo let out a shaky breath and ran his hand through his hair. “You scared the hell out of all of us. I thought we were going to lose you.”I tried to sit up, but pain stabbed through my side, maki

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   Chapter 71

    Aria’s POVThe ride back home was completely silent.No one said a word.Alexander was beside me in the car, looking out the window like I wasn’t even there. Carlo sat in the front seat, also quiet. I kept staring at my hands, playing with my fingers nervously because the silence was loud. So loud it felt heavier than their voices.I already knew what they were thinking.I already knew they were disappointed.But I didn’t regret sneaking out. At least, not yet. I needed answers. I couldn’t just sit still while everyone else decided what was true or false. I had to know things for myself, even if it meant doing something reckless.When we got home, the second we stepped through the door, Alexander finally turned to look at me.His expression was calm but cold. Too calm, and that scared me more than if he had yelled.“Why did you do it?” he asked, his voice low. “Why would you sneak out after everything we told you?”I swallowed hard, looking away. I didn’t want to lie anymore. I was ti

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   Chapter 70 

    Aria's POVI wrapped my hoodie tighter around me as I tiptoed out of the house, careful not to make a sound. My heart kept beating fast with every step I took, afraid that someone might notice I was gone. The security had been tighter than usual lately. Ever since Xeros was brought back home, things became harder. I guess they really don’t want me to step outside again. But I have to do this. I need answers, even if no one else wants me to investigate.The cool night breeze touched my skin, and I shivered, not from the cold, but from nervousness. I looked back once more to make sure no one was following me. Then I turned toward the usual hidden path near the garden. That’s where Edgar told me to meet him.I saw him standing in the shadows, arms crossed, his usual smirk sitting on his lips like he wasn’t worried about anything in the world. When he saw me, he raised his brows and whistled low.“Wow. You actually managed to sneak out,” he said, walking towards me.I rolled my eyes. “Of
