Elowen’s POV

The world was dark when I woke up. My head throbbed, and my body felt heavy, pinned down by an unseen weight. Slowly, I opened my eyes to see faint light streaming through the cracks of an unfamiliar ceiling. My breath hitched. Where was I?

I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain in my side forced me to stay down. The events from earlier slammed into me like a tidal wave—Alaric’s betrayal, Lisa’s cruelty, Ranon’s confession, and the rogue attack. My heart ached as if someone had torn it out and crushed it beneath their heel.

The door creaked open, and a figure stepped inside. It was Theron. His shirt was torn, blood smeared across his arms, and his face was etched with worry.

“You’re awake,” he said, his voice filled with relief.

I didn’t respond. My throat felt raw, and the words I wanted to say were trapped behind the storm of emotions swirling inside me.

Theron knelt beside the bed, his eyes searching mine. “Elowen, are you okay?”

I blinked at him, unsure if I

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   A wolf saved me.

    Elowen's POV As the wolf remained crouched, its presence oddly comforting, my sobs gradually quieted. My breath came in ragged gasps as I wiped my face with trembling hands. The forest was silent again, save for the occasional rustle of leaves and the distant hoot of an owl. The wolf took another tentative step forward, its golden eyes gleaming in the dim moonlight. I didn’t flinch this time. Instead, I just stared at it, my exhaustion outweighing my fear. “What do you want from me?” I whispered, my voice hoarse. It tilted its head, studying me like it could understand the weight of my question. “I’m broken,” I continued, my voice cracking. “I don’t know who to trust anymore. Everyone I thought cared about me…” I trailed off, shaking my head as fresh tears threatened to fall. The wolf let out another low whine, its ears flattening slightly as if it could feel my pain. I sniffled, wrapping my arms tighter around myself. “I’m not strong enough for this. I never was. They a

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   I....I am a she-alpha??

    Elowen's POV The forest was silent, save for the soft rustling of leaves in the wind and the distant howls of wolves. I stood there, my knees trembling, as the golden-eyed wolf I’d come to trust and depend on transformed before my eyes. His powerful form shifted, fur melting into skin, muscles rippling as he stood up straight. The air around him shimmered with an energy that was unmistakable. And then he was standing in front of me, not as a wolf, but as a man—a breathtakingly handsome man. His features were striking, sharp jawline, chiseled body, and eyes that burned with an intensity I couldn’t look away from. His hair was wild, a mix of dark brown and gold that caught the moonlight, making him seem almost ethereal. But it wasn’t just his appearance that stole my breath. It was the way he held himself—confident, powerful, yet somehow gentle. He looked at me with an expression that spoke volumes—one of recognition, longing, and something deeper, something I couldn’t yet place. Hi

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   My mother? Alive?

    Elowen's POV I stared at the man standing before me, his golden eyes watching me with a mix of intensity and patience. He had told me things I couldn’t comprehend, truths that felt too big, too impossible to be real. My mind raced with questions, doubts, and fears. “How do I know you’re telling the truth?” I asked, my voice shaking. “How do I know this isn’t some cruel game like everything else in my life?” His gaze softened, and he took a step closer. The moonlight cast a glow over his features, highlighting the sincerity etched into his face. “I know you’ve been hurt,” he said, his tone steady. “I know betrayal has left its scars on your soul. But I swear to you, Elowen, I have no reason to lie. Your mother’s love for you runs deeper than anything you’ve ever known. And she’s waiting to prove it to you herself.” My knees felt weak as his words washed over me. My mother? Alive? The idea was too much to grasp. For years, I’d carried the weight of her loss, the guilt of being pow

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   Meeting my Mother.

    Elowen's POV We traveled through the dense forest, the trees towering around us like silent sentinels. Kael moved with purpose, his every step sure and confident, while I trailed behind, my thoughts a chaotic mess. The air grew colder as we ventured deeper into the woods, the moonlight barely penetrating the thick canopy above. Finally, Kael stopped in front of a small, hidden cabin nestled between two massive oak trees. “She’s inside,” he said, turning to me. “Are you ready?” I wasn’t. How could I be? But I nodded anyway, my heart pounding in my chest. Kael pushed open the door, and the warmth of a crackling fire greeted us. The cabin was cozy, with wooden walls adorned with simple decorations and a faint scent of lavender lingering in the air. And then I saw her. She was sitting in a chair by the fire, her back to us, but I’d recognize her anywhere—the curve of her shoulders, the way she held herself. My breath hitched, and my legs felt like they would give out. “Mom,” I w

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   Now they’ll face the consequences.

    Elowen's POV I stared out the window, the once calming view of the forest now just a blur to my burning eyes. My heart ached, but it wasn’t the tender ache of longing—it was the searing pain of betrayal, twisting and consuming me from within. My wolf stirred uneasily, but I silenced her. Right now, I didn’t want comfort. I wanted to feel the full brunt of my anger. I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as memories of Alaric’s smirk flashed through my mind. The way he had humiliated me in front of everyone. How he had called me pathetic, a mere pawn in his cruel game. My chest tightened as his mocking words echoed in my head: "You’re nothing but a weak omega."Weak. A bitter laugh escaped my lips. They thought I was weak, didn’t they? Alaric, with his manipulative games and that smug, calculating expression. Ranon, with his fake smiles and empty promises, pretending to care while plotting behind my back. And Theron…the brothers destroyed me piece by piece. “I hate t

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   Did she finally move on from Alaric?

    Elowen's POV The next morning, the academy buzzed with an energy that was both palpable and unsettling. I walked through the gates, my head held high despite the whispers that followed me everywhere I went. But today, there was something different—a presence beside me that commanded attention. Kael strode confidently by my side, his movements fluid and purposeful. His tall frame and sharp, chiseled features made him impossible to ignore. The way his dark hair fell over his forehead, slightly tousled, gave him an air of effortless charm. But it was his piercing silver eyes that caught people off guard, as if they could see straight through to your soul. The gossip started the moment we stepped onto the grounds. “Who’s that with Elowen?” “Isn’t he a rogue?” “They look… close.” “Did she finally move on from Alaric?” “No way. An omega with him?” My wolf growled softly in the back of my mind, but Kael remained unfazed, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. He se

    Elowen’s POV The library doors creaked softly as we pushed through them, the hushed atmosphere a welcome reprieve from the chaos of the hallway. My thoughts, however, were anything but quiet. Ranon’s words kept echoing in my head, his sneer, his derision, and Alisa’s mocking laughter slicing through my composure like a knife. “Don’t let them get to you,” Kael murmured beside me, his voice steady and calming. He placed a reassuring hand on my lower back as we walked further into the library. “I’m trying,” I whispered, gripping the strap of my bag tightly. “But it’s hard. Ranon... Alaric... Theron... they were supposed to be my mates. They were supposed to...” “To protect you,” Kael finished, his voice laced with quiet anger. “Instead, they’ve only caused you pain.” I bit my lip and nodded, feeling tears prick the corners of my eyes. “It’s like every time I think I’ve hit rock bottom, they find a way to dig me in deeper.” Kael stopped and gently turned me to face him, his si

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   How could she be so calm?

    Alaric’s POV The academy buzzed like a hive of gossiping bees, the whispers louder than ever as I made my way through the courtyard. My wolf was restless, pacing in my head, growling low and dangerous. I didn’t need to ask what everyone was talking about; I already knew. Elowen. And him. The moment I spotted her, walking through the crowd like she owned the place, my blood boiled. She was with him again—the newcomer. Kael. His presence was like a dark cloud hanging over everything, and the way he hovered protectively at her side, his body language screaming possession, made my wolf want to rip him apart. There she was, calm as ever, her chin held high, her expression serene like she didn’t have a care in the world. Like she hadn’t just walked out of the storm I created for her, unscathed. How could she be so calm? “Look who decided to grace us with her presence,” I called out, my voice dripping with venom as I stepped out of the shadows. Elowen froze, her posture stiff

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   Midnight wanderings can lead to beautiful discoveries.

    Elowen’s POV We sat like that for a long time, our hands clasped across the cool wood of the kitchen table, the silence a comfortable tapestry woven with unspoken affection and shared understanding. The gentle ticking of the grandfather clock in the hallway marked the slow passage of the late hour, each tick a quiet affirmation of the peaceful intimacy that enveloped us. The moonlight continued its silent vigil through the arched window, bathing the deserted kitchen in a soft, ethereal glow. Alaric’s thumb continued its slow, soothing strokes across the back of my hand, a simple gesture that spoke volumes of his quiet tenderness. His silver eyes, still softened by the late hour, held a steady gaze, a silent reassurance that transcended the need for words. In that moment, the complexities of our lives, the ever-present awareness of the triplets’ possessiveness, the weight of the Academy’s scrutiny – all of it seemed to recede, leaving only the profound connection between Alaric and m

    Elowen’s POV The remainder of the evening passed with a renewed sense of quiet solidarity. The brief intrusion by Lysander had served as a stark reminder of the outside world’s perception of our unconventional bond, but it had also solidified the unwavering unity between the triplets and me. Ranon’s possessive hand never left mine, Alaric’s protective arm remained draped across my shoulders, and Theron’s occasional sardonic remarks were now laced with an extra layer of territoriality. Later, as the common room emptied and the Academy settled into its nightly quiet, we retreated to the triplets’ suite. The familiar comfort of their shared living space, the scent of their combined pheromones a soothing balm to my senses, eased the lingering tension of the day. Ranon had built a roaring fire in the hearth, the flickering flames casting dancing shadows on the stone walls. Alaric was meticulously cleaning his blades, the rhythmic shick-shick of the whetstone a familiar sound. Theron was

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   Sharing is caring, isn’t that what they say?

    Elowen’s POV The night with Ranon was a whirlwind of raw sensation and possessive tenderness. His touch was demanding, his kisses branding, each caress a silent claim. Yet, beneath the fierce exterior, there was a surprising gentleness, a deep-seated need to connect on a level that transcended mere physicality. We lost ourselves in each other, the cool stone of the gazebo a stark contrast to the burning heat of our bodies entwined under the watchful gaze of the moon. When dawn finally broke, painting the sky in soft hues of pink and gold, I awoke nestled in his arms, the lingering scent of our passion clinging to the air. He was still asleep, his dark hair tousled, his strong arms wrapped protectively around me. A sense of deep contentment settled within me, a quiet understanding of the intricate tapestry of my relationships with the triplets. Each connection was unique, each filled a different part of me, and last night had been a powerful reminder of the intense, undeniable bond

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   Let’s find somewhere a little more… private.

    Elowen’s POV The rest of the day at the Academy passed in a blur of lectures and drills, each moment punctuated by the subtle awareness of the triplets’ watchful gazes. Ranon’s hand never strayed far, a possessive warmth against my skin. Alaric’s silver eyes followed me with a quiet intensity, a silent promise of unwavering support. Theron’s sharp observations and sardonic remarks were always directed my way, a constant, teasing reminder of our intertwined lives. The undercurrent of the morning’s events lingered, a subtle shift in the way the other students interacted with me. There was a newfound respect, tinged with a healthy dose of fear, in their eyes. Caelum’s defeat at my hands had clearly sent a ripple through the Academy’s hierarchy. As dusk began to paint the sky in hues of fiery orange and soft violet, we found ourselves in the training gardens, a secluded sanctuary tucked away behind the main buildings. The air was fragrant with the scent of night-blooming jasmine and da

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   Hope you don’t bruise easily, Caelum.

    Elowen’s POV The air in the Academy’s combat hall, a vast chamber usually echoing with the clang of steel and the grunts of exertion, crackled with a palpable, almost electric tension even before Professor Lyra’s crisp voice sliced through the anticipatory silence. I sat wedged between Alaric and Theron on the long, polished wooden bench that lined the edge of the expansive sparring floor. Ranon, ever the sentinel, hadn’t allowed me more than a few feet of breathing room since the charged intimacy of the rooftop. His calloused fingers, possessive and reassuring, grazed the back of my hand every few heartbeats, a silent, tactile reminder to both himself and anyone watching that I was still within his orbit—still his. But the moment Caelum stepped onto the gleaming sparring floor, a ripple of altered energy spread through the room, a subtle shift in the students’ collective focus. He moved with a predatory grace, his tall, muscular frame encased in black training leathers that seemed

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   Who you calling sunshine, grumpy one?

    Elowen's POV Second Round – Alaric. Alaric was already waiting in the center of the mat, rolling his broad shoulders, his dark hair pulled back in a tight knot, his jaw set with a focused determination. His silver eyes were locked on mine – not intense with possessiveness like Ranon’s, not teasingly sharp like Theron’s. Just… intensely focused, a silent promise of a challenging but fair fight. “You okay, sunshine?” he asked softly, his voice a low rumble that only I could hear, even as we began to circle each other, the tension between us a palpable thing. “I’m always okay, Alaric.” The automatic response felt hollow, even to my own ears. “You don’t have to be, you know.” His gaze softened for a fleeting moment, a hint of the gentle soul beneath the stoic exterior. Before I could formulate a response, he struck, his movements fast and powerful, each blow precise and calculated. Alaric fought like a controlled storm – a whirlwind of disciplined chaos. And he always, always pushe

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   That was decidedly rude, Theron.

    Elowen’s POVThe morning sun, a brazen intruder, spilled through the expansive glass windows of the Academy’s combat arena, painting the polished stone floors in streaks of gold and illuminating the raw tension that already thrummed beneath the surface of the bustling room. The air crackled with a palpable anticipation, a familiar energy that always accompanied combat drills, especially those involving the top-tier Alphas – the triplets.But this morning felt different. The usual undercurrent of excitement was thick with a new layer of scrutiny, a palpable curiosity that had intensified ever since the stolen kisses – Ranon’s desperate claim on the rooftop, Alaric’s gentle solace in the rain-soaked gardens, Theron’s fiery promise in the quiet of his room. Every stolen glance, every shared secret, had seemingly been magnified under the Academy’s ever-watchful eyes.Whispers, sharp and insidious, clung to the edges of the walls like grasping shadows, their hushed tones carrying the weigh

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   Let her pick her own poison.

    Elowen’s POVThe morning light, sharp and unforgiving, sliced through the tall arched windows of the Academy halls, illuminating the usual early-hour bustle of students shuffling to classes, their hushed whispers and the rhythmic thud of training boots echoing off the ancient stone walls. But this morning, the familiar weight of the Academy’s ever-present scrutiny felt different, amplified by the lingering sensations of the night before.I walked into the classroom, the ghost of Ranon’s calloused hands still imprinted on my skin, the phantom warmth of his possessive grip a constant reminder. The echo of his desperate, hungry kiss still lingered on my lips, a secret fire that threatened to betray the tremor in my hands. It was a different kind of awareness that accompanied me now, a knowledge shared in the darkness, a boundary crossed under the silent watch of the stars.He sat near the back of the spacious classroom, his chair tilted back at that characteristic, precarious angle that

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   Feeling his desire swell and harden with each passing moment.

    Elowen’s POV “Ranon,” I breathed, my voice a ragged whisper, a plea that echoed the desperate yearning in the depths of my soul. The question in his burning golden eyes needed no verbal answer; the overwhelming need within me was a language all its own. In a single, fluid movement that spoke of his inherent strength and a sudden, fierce urgency, he swept me off the cold stone wall, his powerful arms cradling my weight as if I were no more than a feather. My legs wrapped instinctively around his waist, a silent, primal claiming, a desperate embrace that mirrored the magnetic pull between us. He carried me with a focused intensity to the center of the rooftop, where a small, timeworn stone bench sat nestled against the crumbling outer wall, a silent witness to countless nights under the watchful gaze of the stars. He lowered me carefully onto the smooth, flat surface, the ancient stone instantly cold against my heated skin, a stark contrast to the inferno raging within me. He stepped
