All Chapters of Chosen By The Alpha Triplets: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

"What… was that?"David's voice is no more than a whisper, and the fear written across his face is immense as he struggles to rise. I reach out toward him-my limbs all heavy and weak. But before I even touch him, the darkness around us shifts again, and suddenly we are not alone.A flash of movement catches my eye, but it's too fast to follow. Something sharp slices across David's arm, and he cries out in pain, stumbling back. My heart pounds furiously in my chest as I try to find the source of the attack, but there's nothing-no figure, no creature-just the eerie darkness swirling around us like a living thing.David!" I scream, my voice shaking in panic, as another cut appears on his shoulder, then another on his side. He struggles to defend himself, swinging his arms in all directions, but he is hitting nothing but air. The shadows appear to mock us, dancing in and out as if it's some sort of sadistic game."We're. trapped," he gasps, falling to his knees, blood running down his arm

We walked down the large halls of the ancient sanctuary, the echoes of our footsteps following the corridors deeper into the belly of the place, right into the heart of mystery. The air swirled around, thick with age-old magic, like a cloak of protection. Still reeling from the trials that had gotten us in here, the urge for a moment of levity couldn't be more dire.Daniel and I find ourselves at a quiet corner of the sanctuary, away from the main group. Serafine and David are catching up with Amara and Susan on what's to come, while Abigail has gone off to rest after the ordeal of the trials. There was tension, but Daniel seemed determined to break it.So, Serafine," Daniel says, a sly grin spreading across his face as he elbows me. "About those powers of yours."I laugh, knowing where this is going. "Oh, here we go. Are you going to tell her she's got the power to turn you into a toad?"Daniel bursts out laughing, having his back to the stone wall. "Nah, more like a rabbit. You k

We finally reach the hallowed lands. The air is thick with magic-the hum of it in the ground, a surge of it across the firmament. It's alive, this place. It watches and waits, waits for us to prove ourselves. There's a great stone arch before us, and through it, an ancient pathway leading further into the heart of the sacred lands.The voice booms from the arch, just as it had at the sanctuary. "There are five tasks to get through. You shall have three trials for each. Fail, and you shall be here forever."Those words send shivers down my spine, but I know there's no turning back now. We step forward, and the first task appears before us.First Task - The Family PuzzleThe ground in front of us shifts, and a huge stone slab rises, carrying a puzzle. The pieces are from polished marble, each one engraved with symbols of different family members. There were six pieces in all, each containing markings related to our family, symbols of wolves, magic, and elements of who we are. The p

"Stay here," I whisper, my voice low and tight as I clutch the blade tightly before stepping outdoors.The night is chilly, and the darkness weighs a bit heavier tonight. I scan the perimeter, and the back of my neck prickles as if warning me that something may be lurking in the dark. And then, I see a huge shape towering in the distance, getting closer.The creature steps into the moonlight, and my breath catches in my throat. It's a monster I have never seen, standing high above us, its thick, leathery skin looming with eyes that gleam with malice.Its limbs are twisted with razor-sharp claws at their ends that look like they can tear through steel. The earth shakes beneath its weight as it roars; its voice is deep and growling.Serafine emerges from behind me, her eyes widening in horror as she sees the beast. "What in the-?" she gasps, reaching for her weapon."I don't know," I reply, my voice barely steady, "but we're not facing it alone."Daniel and David are instantly at my

I still don't know whether I will go through with it, Mom echoes within my head as I sit alone under the bright moonlight glowing on the camp in a silver glow. The rare occurrence of the moon fills the air with almost electric energy, humming in the air and tingling on my skin. Thick energy surges all around me, and I almost feel it choking.The visions have been intensifying, and getting clearer, since we entered the sacred lands. It is as though the lunar event amplifies them, and no matter how hard I try, I cannot get away from them. If I shut my eyes, I find myself right back inside those visions-standing beside Lucian, being in command of what feels like unlimited power.I envision myself flicking my wrist and casting spells, calling fire and bending water without any hindrance at all, as Lucian's face beams with pride over my shoulder. The magic is coursing through my veins, and I am. Unstoppable. When I open my eyes, though, the truth clouds over me like thick fog. I'm no
