AURORA'S POV

I stood under the shower with my eyes shut. The water just ran through the length of my body, from the compartments of my hair strands, through the division of my ass down to the toes. I felt at peace at that moment.

For the past thirty minutes, I was standing at a place. I just enjoyed the feeling the running water carried with it. Or maybe I was simply trying to knock off the thought that was fast rising in my head.

"Mate!"

The voices of the triplet brothers echoed in my head. It had been echoing through my thoughts since that moment. This was the last thing I wanted.

I didn't want any of it. I had thought luck had come through for me. Who knows, the moon goddess could have sent the thunder to distract them and give me the means to run for my dear life. But no!

She had other plans for me, something more cruel. Why would I get mated to those three? The intensity in their eyes was not something to talk about.

If I was mated to them, it was clear they would make me a play tool. It didn't seem like any of them could love. It was even weirder to think that I had no idea how I got to that place.

"Think! Think!" I said loudly in frustration as I threw my eyelids apart.

Not only that I had no idea how I got to that place. It was worse that I could not say what my name was.

Did I not have a name? No way! There was no one alive who didn't have a name. But no matter how much I tried to think of something, I just was not able to flesh out any idea. In the end, I gave up trying to think.

I would simply accept the reality I found myself in. Perhaps, someday I would be able to remember what my name was, where I came from, and how I got myself chained up in the presence of those three.

"Moonlight pack," my lips muttered out of reflex.

I thought of the pack and what it meant to those brothers. They took me to be a spy which I was not. And if out of all packs, they mentioned that one, who knows, it could lead to finding my true identity.

After spending a few more minutes in the bathroom, I grabbed a towel I found there and wrapped it around my body without drying the wetness all over me. The towel was short and did just little to cover me up.

It barely hung on my boobs and went just a little below my ass. My thighs were entirely out. Well, there was nothing to be worried about. After all, I had been given a room of my own. If not for any other thing, I was grateful that I had the opportunity to keep my life.

When I pulled the door open, my jaw dropped and I felt like I had been injected with a paralysis poison. Standing right in my room, just a few feet away from the bathroom, were the three brothers. What the heck were they doing in my room?

Their colorful eyes retained the same level of intensity it had in them back then. I was screwed this time. On seeing them, I became conscious of my body. I realized that I was not wearing anything, just a towel.

"What…what…are you people doing here?" I stuttered.

No response came from them. The looks in their eyes remained the same. Their faces had no expression on them. At this point, it felt like they were going to eat me up alive. But they were not cannibals!

Another thought flew to my mind. The one called Kaidon had said something to me about a different kind of eating people up. Shit! The thought of it sent shivers through my legs.

"Why…why are…you people here?" I stuttered again.

But they said nothing. Rather, they took calculated steps toward me. Each of their steps moved in perfect rhythm. It was as if they were not just triplet brothers based on looks and time of birth.

Those three seemed to know what was in each other's heart. If not, why would they move in that manner? I could feel my whole trembling with every step they took towards me. I traced my steps back till the wall behind stopped me. But they would not stop.

"Have you accepted the mate bond?" Kai asked me. Although he maintained his calmness, his words still had a mean energy about them. Maybe the mask was the reason for it.

I nervously shook my head. "No," I replied. "I don't want to have anything to do with you people."

Keiran chuckled loudly. "You don't have a say in the matter, do you?" He asked me.

Of course, I did. It was in my place to decide if I would gladly accept them. I had the willpower to make decisions.

"I do," I stood my ground. "You can't force it on me."

"The moon goddess chose for us," Kai pointed out. "Not me! And not my brothers!"

"But I can choose to accept it or decline it," I remarked. "That's in my place to decide if I will accept it or not."

Kaidon laughed hysterically and took a step closer to me. "You are really tough, aren't you?"

I said nothing. I was just looking for a way to make it out of this place without harm.

"So, you are saying you have what it takes to reject us," Kai said.

Kaidon lifted my jaw with his index finger. "The tough ones give great experiences, you know. I like your lips."

What was he thinking? The tough ones give great experiences. Was he trying to flirt with me or what?

"All wet and inviting," Keiran chipped in.

Before I could speak, Kaidon dragged the towel off my body. I clutched both breasts with my hands while crossing my legs to shield my vagina.

"What.. what do you think you are doing now?"

They said nothing. They simply looked at me from head to toe.

"Let's see how juicy you are," Kaidon said with a knowing smile.

"You can't do—" Before I could finish off the statement, he shut me up with a mind-blowing kiss. Our lips locked completely.

I fought against him but could not prevail. I could feel myself almost relaxing. But no! I would not. The next move was not expected. He lifted me like he had done a while ago and threw me to the bed. Then, he started kissing my neck and my lips again. I was slowly losing my mind.

"Give us everything," the voice of Keiran echoed in my ear, sending multiple vibrations to my core.

Damn it! These guys were out for me. Keiran ran his hands all around my nipples in a playful manner that invited me more and more. I still had the will to resist but I couldn't speak.

My lips were all in Kaidon's mouth. There was no freaking way I could say anything to protest their actions. My breathing was only getting heavier as pleasure ate me up. My body was beginning to move in rhythm with their touches.

Someone's hands got to my legs and thighs. That had to be Kai! He moved them apart and struck his tongue into my vagina, giving me the sensation of going crazy.

"Urghhhh!!" I moaned loudly in pleasure as Kaidon released my mouth.

I couldn't control myself. Without knowing it, I arched my back even more to give him all of me. But then, without any prior warning, they granted the wish I had earlier on— they left me.

I pushed myself up. "Why did you stop?" I queried in a pitiful tone.

They exchanged looks and burst into taunting laughter. In that instant, a wave of shame swept across me.
