Chapter: HERE WE ARECHAPTER 139LilyThere was a different kind of peace I felt as I finally went home. It was more than nice to see Lila like that. In a position where it looked like she was begging. In a position where she was begging for her freedom. Nothing could be compared to that. I pushed the door open, and I was more than glad when I heard my mom in the kitchen. She had returned before any of us. It was a shame that Lila didn't see that the person that had brought her up was also involved in what was causing her pain. As I headed upstairs, I hurried straight to the mirror, with a smile on my lips. I was already glowing. Who would have thought that Lucien's mom was a bad bitch? The whole thing was her idea. I didn't know what she stood to gain, but she was the one who brought up the idea of abducting Lila. I couldn't help but agree to it. That was literally my fantasy this whole time. A giggle escaped my lips. As soon as I slipped my clothes off, I heard the doorbell go off. I frowned, quickl

Chapter: TO PLAN IT ALLCHAPTER 138LilaI might have fallen asleep sometime. Because my the time I woke up, my eyes were blindfolded again, and I could hear footsteps. My sense of hearing was the only thing that I depended on. My sense of smell was almost useless. The only thing that I could smell was the latex of the cloth that the person wore, and the dust and metal rnyat was already there in the room. And I knew where that one came from. “Good morning, Lila,” my abductor said, and a shiver ran through my spine. It was morning already. People had to be out searching me. In my head, I could make our the kids crying, and asking where I was. Olivia can only lie so many times that I had work. But even she had to be worried. I didn't have my phone on me, and my hands were still tightly tied behind my back. “Please, just let me go. I don't know what use I am to you.”“I've told you before,” the person said. “You will be og use when you're gone. When. The people who are close to you cry. And then, they would

Chapter: JUST FROM HERECHAPTER 137LilaMy head was hurting as I woke up. It was hard to even open my eyes. I sniffled, waiting to smell the fuel that wouh have poured out of the car. There was nothing. Only dust. There was a ringing sound in my ear, and my head was bent to the side, making my beck hurt. I groaned as I opened my eyes, taking my surroundings. I tried to raise my hands to press my head, but it was bounded to my back as well. What the fuck?My eyes were slowly adjusting to the dim light. I was sitting on a wooden chair that seemed more than sturdy. My feet were also bound together. I managed to raise my head, crying out from the pain. The room was huge and dark. Furnitures at the end of the room was covered in white cloth. The door was metallic, and I could smell the rust iron. I almost gagged. I recognized the place more than anything. It was Lucien's mother's basement. I remembered when they were purchasing the house. She made sure that she had gotten a huge basement. It was on the top o

Chapter: THE DARKCHAPTER 136LilaMy whole body was shaking as I scanned through the documents. He was being adopted from an orphanage that was close by. The address, date, name and everything was there. I could barely believe what I was seeing. Was that why she wanted to kill him? Because he wasn't hers? Because she wanted to property that came with his death? But… the kids were there. Were they going to be the next victims. A shudder ran through my spine. If she could try to put an end to the person that she practically raised, then who were the kids that she wouldn't try to end. No wonder she wanted Lily as her daughter-in-law. She knew that the both of them had almost the same vision when. It came to things like this. I would have never supported something like that. I tried to stand up, but my legs betrayed me, and I fell back down on the chair. I needed to get to the orphanage first. Thankfully, it wasn't even far from here. I tried a second time, as I managed to find my way downstairs. The

Chapter: THE ADOPTED CHILDCHAPTER 135LilaImmediately I woke up the next day, the first thing I did was get the kids ready for school. After I dropped them off, I headed straight to the one place that I couldn't stop thinking about. I was definitely stressed out, but there wasn't much that I could do after all. I could at least try to contribute to finding the person that wanted to put an end to Lucien. My fingers were wrapped so tightly around the stirring wheels, that my knuckles turned white. I was staring right at Lucien's mother's house. The last time I was there, she was literally accusing me of hiding her son's child. She wasn't wrong. And this time, I was hoping that she could confess to what she had done by herself. If she wasn't, then I could at least find something that I could use against her. I stepped out of the car, ringing the door bell. Within seconds, I could hear footsteps on the other side of the door. The door was suddenly pushed open, and I came fade to face with Lucien's mom. There

Chapter: JUST LIKE A PILLOWCHAPTER 134Lila My mom finally stopped the car in front of Henry's place, and I took breathing exercises before I even made my way out of the car. I didn't know how I was supposed to react about anything just yet. I was between crying and smiling. Depends on whatever was in that chip. My mom held my hand like she knew that I was going to be overthinking. “You don't have to worry about anything, Lila,” she whispered again, abd I nodded at her. “Everything that we need will be there, right?” I asked, and she bit her lips. Thwre was no sure answer. But it didn't matter. We weren't going to sit in that car forever. “Why don't we get in the car and find out?” She asked, cocking an eyebrow. I have her a small nod as I got out of the car. That was when I noticed how.mucb my knees were shaking. If I was somehow found guilty, I didn't know how I was going to feel about myself. She pushed the door open, and we managed to locate one of the many small doors that belonged to Henry. She knoc

TORN BETWEEN THE THREE
Rhea was nothing—an orphaned omega, forgotten in the shadows of Crescent Shadow Pack. She was bullied, ignored, and born into a world that never wanted her. Her only warmth came from Lyra, the Beta’s radiant daughter—a girl Rhea worshipped like the sun, the one blessed by the Moon Goddess herself.
Rhea lived for Lyra’s light.
Until the Goddess turned her gaze.
On her twentieth birthday, Rhea is thrust into the center of a destiny she never asked for—fated mate to the Alpha’s triplet sons. Three brothers, one throne, and a bond that will crown her as Luna. But only one mate can ascend. And the others? They may destroy her before they let her choose.
Cassian, the wild heir who once loved Lyra and now hates Rhea for taking her place.
Lucian, the perfect firstborn with ambition in his eyes and loyalty that cuts like a blade.
Dorian, the soft-spoken charmer with a secret fire and a desperate hunger to matter.
As power swells and envy brews, Rhea must rise from the ashes of who she was. The Moon has chosen her, but the pack? They will not kneel easily. Especially not when her bond pushes Lyra—the sun she once lived for—into shadow. Will Lyra accept becoming the shadow or will she come back for the light that was hers?
In a world ruled by legacy and ambition, Rhea must decide if she is a girl surviving fate—or a Luna shaping it.

Chapter: FINALLY HERE WE AREChapter 166Author's POV Cassian felt the weight of the world fall on his shoulders as he walked the steps. His eyes found hers, they were glistening with tears and he couldn't help his smile. She was the reason he was here today. He faced the elder at the altar again. The man held the crown in his hands, the oath by his left and the throne by his right. It was time to make his vows and keep them. He closed his eyes and accepted his faith. He could feel both his brothers inside him. Lucian's excitement and Dorian's satisfaction. He was glad they were there. He had doubted how it would feel but now he liked it. If they had been separated, none of them would have been happy had the other taken the throne. But now, it was all three taking it and he felt relieved. He smiled at himself at both of them. He closed his eyes and let it dawn on him. The elder began to speak and Cassian listened carefully. His position as king and alpha would be very different from what his father's had bee

Chapter: NOTHING AGAINChapter 165Author's POV Before Nerena could think too hard, she closed her eyes and let the power coursing through her take her. She knew that Rhea had been possessed and wanted to go wherever Rhea was at that particular moment. The girl had to be found, she had to take control again. The power that had lain in wait would fully consume and then shut her out if she didn't come back now. She felt herself go weightless, her soul lift from her body. And then she wasn't on earth again, her body had ascended into a different dimension. It was now a bright light that surrounded her. She could hear the voices of so many lost souls, she could feel them either lurking or searching and Rhea was one of them. The girl stood at the other end. Nerena found her staring at the emptiness, looking down at something. As she went closer, she wondered what she would say and where she would start explaining from but she would anyway. “Rhea" Nerena called out. Rhea turned around and their eyes met. Th

Chapter: YOUR PRETTY BODYChapter 164Author's POV Nerena could feel it. The girl wasn't just normal but she hadn't expected this power.Rhea glowed brighter under the moon, eyes blue and sharp. She glared at Lucian with an intensity he had never seen on her. “Stay away from me" she warned, her voice was dark, hard and warning to him. He moved back, scrambling on his feet. He didn't want to dare her, something told him he couldn't. Just then he felt a cold and sharp piercing pain in his heart. He could feel something fighting against him. He wanted to run as far away from it as he could but there was no choice. Maybe he needed to stop the ritual indeed. He looked at his brothers, both of them tied up and began to regret a few things. The look of agony on their faces was his fault. It should have been his father suffering. His eyes went to the palace and he took a deep breath, letting the cool air flood his lungs at the thought that his karma had come for him inside there. By now Justin would have attacked

Chapter: HER GLOWChapter 163Author's POV Rhea could feel the power suddenly. Like it was too much, storming and causing her head to ache. She looked at Nerena who was in the middle of casting the spell and Lucian who was on his knees. Her eyes went to Cassian, she couldn't help but feel her heart call out to him. She called out again to Nerena, unable to hold back. At that very moment, she felt like she could do anything to stop the ritual, “Stop it now!" She cried out, managing to look at Nerena through hooded eyes. Nerena looked at Rhea, the wind blew in her hair, making her look like a different entity. The blood moon was having an effect on the girl. It was bringing out the powers that Nerena had suspected she had hidden. “Stop it! He is not the vessel" she heard Rhea cry out. Lucian looked up, to see who she was screaming. The blood moon bathed her in red, the colors changing her into something else. At that exact moment she wasn't just Rhea, there was someone else inside her. He wanted to

Chapter: FOLLOWED YOUChapter 162Author's POV As Rhea followed lucian, she knew she had to do something. It couldn't happen. She didn't know the entire story but one thing she knew was that whatever was happening was wrong. It wasn't supposed to happen with Lucian. She could see though that he was determined. He had set his mind on making sure that the souls were in him instead of anyone else. Rhea had to stop that from happening, yes the souls would be merged but only into the vessel it had been destined to do so with. Lucian could feel the victory just beyond his reach. It tingled, his hands shook. The steel pot was the first of it. Even if her normal blood wasn't as potent, the blood moon held the rest of the power - it would be enough. He couldn't wait. Already he could feel the power that this merge would bring to him. When he had all three souls in him, their strength as well. Nothing would be able to stand in his way. He would also make Sure Rhea remained his. They continued to walk and he led

Chapter: IN HIS SIGHTChapter 161 Author's POV Rhea shook her head in disbelief. She read it in his eyes, desperation, need and want. But she wasn't sure what it was. Was it for what she could give him or for her? Something told her it was the former. The lies, she read all of them now in his expression. “You lied about everything. You brought me here for something" it was the moonlight, as if playing on her team that shone some light on the steel bowl at the corner of the room. Lucian looked at it and realized his mistake. He had made it by putting it there. Just then, he heard the bamg of the door. He turned to see that Dorian was trying to break it open. His eyes went to the pot and they watered. He didn't want to do this. It was the last thing of all things that he wanted. He didn't want to hurt her but his hands clenched around the handle of the knife and his resolve hardened in his heart. There was no other choice. "I'm sorry” he said but before she could react, he had a hold on her and the kn
