Anna pov“Please help me!” I cried, sobbing profusely as I walked into the hospital strolling behind the stroller that carried my father. “Where’s the doctor?” One of the four men by either sides of my father questioned the first nurse that had rushed up to them. “Most of the doctors are already in the surgical room. I’m afraid we do not have any available doctors”While the nurse and the men contemplated on how to save my father’s life, I couldn’t help but shiver in fear and imagine the worst to come. “This is all my fault” I mutter over and over again as tears rolled down my cheeks, convincing myself that my father was dying because of me. And why should I not? My mother had died during childbirth while bringing me into this world. I was too big that I’d occupied a lot of space in her womb. When I, Anna Marion; a sleezy, worthless omega was born, my mother breathed her last. Father had always hated me ever since then.And to be honest, I couldn’t blame him either. I equally ha
Cadel pov “Good work, everyone” I said with a smile greeting the nurses around me as we stepped out of the operating room; Another successful operation. I thought with smile spread across my face. “Doctor, this is bad” One of the nurses says rushing up to me. The way her voice shaked, the evident trembling in her vocal cords made me know that this wasn’t a little issue at hand. “What is it?”“A patient was brought in earlier and now…”“And now?”“He just passed away. His daughter can’t stop crying”“What do you mean, he passed away?” I’d questioned, wide-eyed. “Didn’t any of the doctors attend to him?”The nurse shook her head. “All the doctors were performing a surgery”“Take me to the patient”. The nurse nodded her head as she rushed up to the reception, whilst I followed suite behind her. As we neared the reception, my senses heightened as my nose began to tingle. ‘What is this?’ I thought as the most enticing, sweet scent I could ever perceive began to fill my nose. I craved
Cameron pov “MATE!” Killian, my wolf screamed. “What do you mean Killian?” I questioned.“MATE! She’s our mate!” Killian repeated. The conviction made me echo my thoughts. “She’s my mate”“No, she’s my mate!” Carson counter attacked. While I so desperately wanted to get in a fight with Carson if he was pulling my legs; I noticed Cadel stood in his tracks as silent as ever. “She’s your mate too, isn’t she?” I state as a matter of fact rather than a question. From the way he didn’t respond, my thoughts were confirmed. How was my brother’s mate mine? What was the moon goddess planning?. It wasn’t something unusual nor was it something unheard of. As triplets, it was only normal we shared the same destiny but this, this was unacceptable.I pulled Cadel and Carson to the side. “What should we do?”“I’m not giving her up” Cadel replied strongly. It wasn’t as though he was selfish, his reason was completely understandable. While Carson and I were given mates; although we’d rejected the
Cadel povI breathed out as soon as I got to the hospital. The one place where I got to work and not overthink, the right place I needed to just now. To my greatest surprise, I caught my mind wandering around. My thoughts were ceaselessly going back to what just happened at the pack, a new feeling of anger overwhelmed me again."What is wrong with Carson?!" I slammed a desk beside me, attracting the attention of some nurses around.They looked at me and wondered if I was crazy. At this point I didn't care about them, I just left them confused.I sat on the bench outside and it reminded me of Anne. How we sat on this very bench, how I met her, the feeling I got when I realized she was my mate. That was the best feeling ever. And now Carson wants to take that away from me. I balled my fist as anger struck me once more."I'll fight for her," I mumbled.I grabbed my lab coat and rushed back to the pack. Aside from being very unproductive at the hospital, there were no patients in need of
CARSON’S POVIf I wasn’t angry before, I was fuming mad right now. Cadel just has a way of fucking with my mind. Ever since we were children, I have been very jealous of him, as he seemed like the best one out of us three. Cameron did not seem to bother about it since he was the most reasonable among us. I know that I can be too much to handle most times because of my arrogance, but I can’t help it. Especially towards Cadel. I want to do everything I can to spite him. To make his perfect façade drop. I wanted to see him vulnerable. Maybe I’d get over my obsession of trying to beat him at everything. It started when we were still young, I had walked in on my parents talking about him and praising him in front of other alphas. I have never forgotten the smile and look of pride they had on their faces. I was the first child out of the trip, and I thought then that I deserved more praises than him. I know its childish, but I still have not gotten over it yet. I’ve been told that I was
CADEL’S POVI walked into my room this morning after having a rough night. I didn't sleep a wink as I occupied myself with work. Sorting out documents that were not even necessary. My wolf was restless too which made me even more stressed. I hated it when I had issues with my brother. I know it was inevitable since he seemed to have it all out for me, but I tried to avoid situations if I could.I stripped out of the clothes I had on the other day and I caught a whiff of the scent of my mate which made me smile. At least, there was already something good in my life. Quickly taking my bath, I dressed up and walked out of my room, towards Anna's.It took everything in me not to go into her room and have her sleep in my arms. I knocked twice, before opening the door then looked around the room and saw her walking out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body. I didn't hide fact that I was staring at her though. She looked like everything I had ever imagined and more. Trying
ANNE’S POVIf I was not worried before, I was now. Immediately Cadel walked out or more of stormed out of my room, I knew there was going to be a great problem.I paced in front of my bed, fidgeting and clueless about what to do. I woke up this morning feeling good and nice until I smelled the scent of Carson. I thought it was a dream. A beautiful dream at that. He was smiling widely at me in the dream, something I had never seen him do. He had this look of content on his face, and in the dream I was with three of my mates.When I woke and felt him surrounding me, I felt content. I didn't want to get out of bed. I still don't know how to deal with the fact that I have three mates. Now two mates since Cameron rejected me already. I still felt the pain from the broken bond and an emptiness somewhere. It doesn't make sense to me. I feel attracted to the trio, but only Cadel cared for me. He made me feel wanted. After the situation I had with my dad for years, I felt like I was not en
ANNE’S POVWalking around the mansion aimlessly, the thoughts of what happened in Carson's office ate up my mind. I still couldn’t get over the fact that something sexual almost went down between us.And the sick part of all this was that, if it had gone further then I would not have stopped it. After walking around the whole house, I went into the kitchen last. Since I got here, I've not stepped my feet into the kitchen. Funny though, because I loved cooking. As I walked in, I stopped at the entrance in awe. I was surprised at how big the kitchen actually was. There were maids running around trying to get things in order. And it seemed like there was feast going on since everywhere was bustling."Luna." Someone said suddenly. I whipped my head to face the person. It was like that person called the attention of everyone and they all stopped what they were doing to bow to me. If this was not a new and strange feeling, tell me what was, I thought to myself. I liked it though. I felt
Epilogue Anna’s POV: We were married for two and a half years. I lived with the brothers and our kids in one house, while Nicole and Lucas had their own homes nearby. I had a son with Cadel, a daughter with Cameroon, and was expecting a baby with Carson. But when the time came for the baby to arrive, something went wrong. The brothers waited outside the medical center, worried. Carson, especially, looked really concerned. An hour later, we got the sad news that the baby didn't make it. Carson couldn't hold back his pain and let out a howl of sorrow. Carson was devastated for months after we lost the baby. Cadel and Cameroon allowed us the time and space to heal. They didn't mind that I was spending more time with Carson than them. They didn't even mind that they had to look after the kids most of the time. Nicole did help us out a lot with looking after her nephew and niece. Slowly, Carson and I found comfort in each other's company. After a while, our intimacy rekindled,
Anna's POV:Inside the Alpha quarters, in the confines of the large living room, only three of us remained: Nicole, Lucas, and me. We hoped those who went after Cecilia's killer would return any moment, having faced little challenge in capturing him. But we were wrong. A primal roar shattered the silence around us twice. Nicole stood up abruptly. “That must be Bryan.”I joined her. “He's calling for his pack.”“What could have possibly gone wrong?” Lucas asked as he rose too."Let's go after them!" I declared.Lucas nodded, and we left the house, heading towards the forest. As we went after Bryan and the others, more pack members joined us, all responding to the Alpha's call. As we reached the edge of the forest, the scene before us made my blood run cold. Bodies lay strewn across the ground, the metallic scent of blood mixing with the earthy smell of the forest. The moon cast an eerie light over the carnage, illuminating the torn remains and the still forms of bodies.Nicole gaspe
Carson's POV:We moved swiftly through the pack house grounds, slipping back into the dense forest where the killer had disappeared. The night air was cool, and the scent of wet wood and damp earth filled my nostrils. Each step sent jolts of pain through my body, but I gritted my teeth and pushed on."Where did you last see him?" Collins asked, his voice low but urgent.I pointed towards the slope where the spears had shot out. "Down there. He triggered the trap and vanished."Cameroon led the way, carefully going down the slope and each of us descended after him. As we reached the bottom, I paused, sniffing the air."He's close. I can still smell him," I said, my voice a growl.“Isn't that strange?” Collins mused.“What is?” I asked. “If I killed my Luna, I wouldn't be lurking around still,” Collins said, with a thoughtful expression. “What if we are working into a trap?”Pausing briefly, I replied, “Well we outnumber him five to one. I say we get this son of a bitch, regardless.”W
Carson's POVCameroon and I chased after Cecilia's killer. He was fast, agile, and remarkably skilled at evasion. Just as my hands dove to catch him, he leaped over a massive log, and I ended up crushing an unfortunate firefly instead. I tossed it away in frustration.Cameroon lagged behind me, making me wish Cadel were here to assist in the chase. As we tore through the forest, which grew steeper with every step, the killer only seemed to get faster. We approached a particularly treacherous section of the forest, where he slid down a slope and pulled a lever. Suddenly, pairs of spears shot out, several piercing my body.“Argh, damn it, it hurts,” I yelled.“Whoa, whoa, whoa, careful!” Cameroon sang the last word, spreading out his arms to balance himself as he screeched to an emergency stop.I scanned the slope, but the killer had vanished after triggering his trap.“Wolfsbane,” I groaned. “The spears—”“It’s okay, I got you. I got you.” Cameroon pulled me back. “We need to head back
Anna's POV:Returning to my pack stirred up more trouble than I anticipated. Cecilia's disdainful remarks since our arrival only fueled my desire to leave. Yet, despite the ease of saying the words, I found myself lingering. Was it the twisted satisfaction of witnessing Cecilia and her mate's conflict over me that held me back?Alpha Bryan's decisive action, slamming the door on Cecilia, sent a strange thrill through me. I shouldn't feel this way; I didn't care for Bryan. Yet, his defiance of his Luna for hosting us made me feel oddly important."Hey, Anna, lost in thought?" Cadel's touch on my elbow brought me back."Yeah, just thinking about tomorrow." Damn, did I just lie to Cadel?He looked at me, towel hanging loosely. "What's happening tomorrow?""We won't be stuck in the alpha quarters forever. Eventually, we'll venture out, and I'll face werewolves who share Cecilia's resentment.""They can't all hate you. Collins and Bryan seem to support us.""Yeah, tell me about it."Cadel
Cadel's POVAfter Nicole's brash confrontation with Cecilia, the room fell into a thoughtful silence. Cecilia's eyes flickered with suppressed emotions as she briefly avoided meeting our gazes, perhaps acutely aware of the rift her actions had caused.Nicole, on the other hand, remained stoic, her expression guarded as she picked at her food, seemingly unfazed by the lingering hostility in the room. The tension between her and Cecilia stewed beneath the surface, threatening to spill over at any moment.Cecilia's fingers drummed impatiently on the table, her jaw still clenched with frustration. Finally, unable to contain herself any longer, she spoke, her voice sharp and cutting."You think you can come into my home and tell me how I should behave?" Cecilia's eyes blazed with defiance as she locked gaze with Nicole. “You came here unannounced and it's taking every fiber of my being not to kick you sorry lot out. So, while I begrudgingly extend my invitation, you all would do well to re
Carson's POV:As we stepped into the dining room, a space illuminated by mostly candlelights, Cecilia set a tray of potato fries on the table causing them to bounce with a soft thud. She pulled out the nearest seat and settled onto it, legs crossed in an ankle style. The hem of her silky nightdress revealed a tantalizing glimpse of her thighs. My gaze unintentionally lingered on the faint impression of her nipples against the fabric. “Hey, babe,” she purred, adjusting her dress as Bryan approached. “I’m really craving a proper massage after dinner.”Bryan slid into a seat beside her with a smirk. “Sure thing, I can be your masseuse. I just wished you'd pay me for it.”Cecilia playfully lifted her leg, resting it on his lap. “Oh, honey, I do pay you – just not in cash.”“Ceci, now is not a good time, please put your sexy creamy leg back down.”Cameroon and I shared a knowing look before settling down at the table, joined by Nicole, Lucas, Cadel, and Anna. With a coy smile, Cecilia
Cameroon POVSeeing my Uncle, Ben, had terrified me to a great length. He was easily the strongest werewolf I've ever met. I know this because I've seen him overpower even the strongest of adversaries with ease. His sheer strength and ferocity were unmatched. Even if my brothers and I were at the peak of our strength, we wouldn't have stood a chance against him, especially with five other werewolves backing him up. While grappling with Uncle Ben, we communicated through our mind link with Lucas, asking him to seek help in case we couldn't win. If we failed, the girls would be in need of rescue. Yet, I never dreamed we could stall Uncle Ben for so long. The Uncle Ben I knew, at his most aggressive, could have overwhelmed us within minutes.Was he growing weaker, or had we grown stronger? Regardless, he had us when it counted, but then Uncle Ben abruptly halted his assault and fled. Was it a change of heart, or did he detect a more pressing threat? His sudden departure left me both sur
Anna's POVThe forest trees blurred past us as Nicole and I ran for our dear lives. The sounds of growls and snarls echoed behind us. My heart pounded heavily in my chest, and dread enveloped me tightly as I stole a glance over my shoulder, catching sight of Uncle Ben and his pack tearing into the Alpha brothers ruthlessly. Was this going to be how I lost my mates? So much for going back home with three Alphas as mates. Please, moon goddess, don't let them die! "Nicole, why is your Uncle trying to kill us?" I gasped out between breaths, as we dodged between tall trees and bushes, hoping to escape our attackers. Nicole's expression was grim as she glanced at me. "Uncle Ben's desire to kill us comes from a deep-seated belief in the purity and superiority of the family bloodline. We come from a long line of werewolf alphas, with a family history steeped in the purity of our bloodline. Our father was only half werewolf, breaking the purity, and Uncle Ben, being full-blooded, resents us
