All Chapters of The Triplet's Bullied Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Theron’s POV It had been days since that encounter, and Elowen’s words still clung to me like a curse. I told myself I didn’t care—that her defiance was nothing more than a desperate act of rebellion from a weak Omega. But every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face, heard her trembling voice challenging me. My wolf hadn’t let up either. “You’re a coward,” he snarled, louder and angrier each day. “She’s your mate, and you’re running from her. Do you even realize the damage you’re causing?” I tried to drown him out, focusing on anything but the relentless pull of the bond. It was suffocating, clawing at my chest like a wild animal desperate to escape. But no matter how much I resisted, the bond refused to loosen its grip. And then it happened. I was walking through the campus courtyard, trying to clear my head, when I saw her. Elowen. She was sitting on the edge of the fountain, her face pale and drawn. She looked… fragile. Her scent hit me like a punch to the gut, and

Elowen’s POVThe air was electric, thick with unspoken tension as Alaric, Theron, and Ranon squared off against Cillian. My heart thundered in my chest, and I could barely catch my breath. Cillian’s smirk widened as he took a step forward. His casual demeanor only made the situation more unnerving. “You really think the three of you can protect her? She deserves better than the scraps you’ve thrown her way.” Theron growled low in his throat, the sound sending a shiver down my spine. “Say another word, and I’ll shut your mouth permanently.” Cillian ignored him, his steel-gray eyes settling on me. “Tell me, little Omega, do they treat you with the respect you deserve? Or are you nothing but their dirty secret?” I clenched my fists, my wolf howling inside me. “Don’t let him talk to us like that! We are stronger than this.”But I felt frozen, caught between the venom in Cillian’s words and the heat radiating off the triplets behind me. “You don’t speak to her,” Alaric said, his

Elowen’s POVThe hallway was quieter than usual, the shadows stretching long across the floor as the last of the students hurried to their destinations. I had stayed behind after class, hoping to avoid running into anyone—not Alisa, not her gaggle of bullies, and especially not the triplets.But fate had other plans.I turned the corner, and there he was. Ranon.His broad shoulders leaned casually against the wall, his dark eyes locked onto me the moment I appeared. It was as if he’d been waiting for me.My chest tightened, and I stopped in my tracks, my instincts screaming at me to turn and run. But his gaze held me frozen in place.“Elowen,” he said, his deep voice rolling over me like thunder.I swallowed hard. “What do you want, Ranon?”He pushed off the wall and took a step closer. “To talk.”I shook my head, already backing away. “I don’t have anything to say to you.”He sighed, running a hand through his dark hair. “I figured you’d say that. But we need to talk. You and me. Now

Elowen’s POVThe sun was setting, casting long golden streaks across the campus grounds as I walked back to my dorm. The air was crisp, a quiet calm settling over the evening. For once, I felt a sense of peace—no mocking voices, no sidelong glances, no triplets breathing down my neck. At least, that’s what I thought. I turned the corner, and there he was. Alaric. He stood leaning against the low brick wall near the path, his arms crossed, his dark eyes fixed on me with an intensity that made my steps falter. “Alaric,” I said, my voice barely a whisper. He pushed off the wall, his movements smooth and predatory, and closed the distance between us in a few long strides. “You’ve been avoiding me,” he said, his tone low and accusing. I glanced away, the weight of his gaze too much to bear. “I haven’t been avoiding you.” “Don’t lie to me, Elowen,” he said sharply, his voice softening at the edges. “I can feel it. The bond doesn’t let me ignore when you’re pulling away.” I

Alaric’s POVI stood there, watching Theron retreat, his words hanging in the air like a dark cloud. His eyes had burned with something I hadn’t seen from him before—something raw, possessive, and filled with a jealousy that felt out of place coming from him. I had always known my brother had a temper, but this was different. This was... something else. He had spoken to her like that. My mate. And I could feel the anger surging in me, my wolf snarling, furious at how he had dared to speak to her like that, to treat her like she was beneath him.“Don’t listen to him, Elowen,” I said, my voice more forceful than I intended. The need to protect her, to shield her from the darkness of our past, was rising to the surface. I reached out, gently cupping her cheek in my hand, my touch tender but firm. She flinched, just a little, and it stung me more than I’d care to admit. But I understood. Theron had a way of manipulating people, even those closest to him. And I knew that, deep down, Elow
