Three's a Charm; Mated to the Alphas
So here's the thing about being adopted by a junkie sex worker: you learn real fast that nobody's coming to save you, and the world doesn't give a shit about your potential. I got out and got a scholarship to some fancy boarding school where rich kids pretend they're better than you because their parents bought their way in instead of fucking their way through.
Silvercrest Academy; prestigious, elite and completely fucking weird.
Like, weird enough that my roommate has fangs and my lab partner's eyes glow in the dark and the three hottest guys on campus won't leave me alone for reasons I can't figure out.
Dante—the golden boy who looks at me like I'm a problem he's trying to solve. Jax—the TA who tried to intimidate me until I put him on his ass, and now he follows me around like an angry cat that hasn't decided if it wants to be pet or bite me. Elias—the too-pretty rich boy who asks too many questions and looks at me like I'm the answer to something he's not saying out loud.
I thought I was here to study genetics, turns out I'm the genetics.
Aether bloodline that is believed to be ancient and extinct except apparently not, because I'm standing here with gold in my hair that won't dye out and an allergy to silver that makes no sense and power I don't know how to use sitting under my skin like a loaded gun.
Someone's trying to kill me for it and through it all, three wolves telling me I'm their mate—which would be flattering if I wasn't too busy trying not to die to figure out what the fuck that means.

Chapter: Putting him downKAI'S POVI made it back to Northcrest Hall without getting lost this time. Small victories.Camille was waiting outside my door with her arms crossed and an expression somewhere between amused and concerned."What the hell was that stunt you pulled?" She didn't wait for me to unlock the door. "You challenged Dante Ashford in front of the entire freshman class. Are you insane?""Probably." I unlocked the door. She followed me in."This is Silvercrest, Kai. Not your public school where you can say whatever you want and face minor consequences. Here? Here you just painted a target on your back."I dropped onto my bed. "He was being authoritarian. Someone needed to call him out.""No. Someone needed to shut up and learn the rules before breaking them." She sat on Riven's desk chair. "Dante isn't just a student council. He's—" She stopped. "He's important, powerful, well connected and you just humiliated him publicly.""He grabbed me first." I retorted."Because you challenged him! What d

Chapter: Getting in troubleKAI'S POV I didn't knock before entering.Seriously, Why would I? It was my room too so I don't think knocking was any good. The door was unlocked so I walked in and immediately regretted every decision that led to this moment.My roommate, sorry Riven was hanging upside down from the ceiling beam literally with his feet hooked over the wood, arms crossed, eyes closed like this was totally normal behavior."What the fuck?" The words came out before I could stop them.His eyes snapped open and they were red then blinked and went back to that too-light gray."You're supposed to knock," he said calmly like he wasn't defying gravity."You're supposed to not be a fucking bat." I yelled. "I was meditating." He shrugged. "stop acting like a scaredy cat."Yeah, I was supposed to be all smiles when I come across a human dangling from the ceiling. "Upside down?""It helps with blood flow." He unhooked his feet, dropped to the floor and landed without a sound. "And you interrupted.""I—" I sto

Chapter: First DayKAI'S POVThe bus ride took fourteen hours.Fourteen hours of staring out the window at scenery that went from urban sprawl to farmland to mountains to forest so thick it looked like the trees were trying to eat the road. Fourteen hours of Mrs. Chen's advice playing on repeat in my head.Easy for her to say. She wasn't the one with split knuckles and an assault charge that may or may not be waiting for her back home. She wasn't the one going to some fancy boarding school where everyone would take one look and know exactly what I was: poor, displaced, didn't belong.The acceptance letter said the scholarship covered everything. Tuition, room, board, even a monthly stipend for "incidentals." I didn't know what incidentals were but I'd been sending half of it to my old foster siblings anyway. The ones still stuck in the system. The ones who didn't get lucky.Luck, that's what everyone kept calling it. "You're so lucky, Kai." "What a lucky break." "You must have a guardian angel."I did

Chapter: FIRST DAYKAI'S POVThe last thing I needed on my last day of this shithole school was MARCUS THORNE and his jackass friends waiting for me in the parking lot.But there they were. Marcus front and center, looking like someone had shoved a stick so far up his ass it poked out his mouth. TYLER and BRAD flanking him like discount bodyguards who'd learned everything they knew about intimidation from straight-to-streaming action movies.I kept walking, pretending I didn't see them. Maybe if I ignored them hard enough, they'd disappear. The universe owed me one miracle, right?Wrong."Morrison." Marcus's voice. "We need to talk.""No we don't." I adjusted my backpack—everything I owned from my locker shoved into a bag that was barely holding together. "Move."Tyler stepped in front of me. Six-foot-two of pure mediocre genetics and protein shakes. "You got us detention for three weeks. THREE WEEKS. My dad is pissed.""Then maybe you shouldn't have shoved that freshman into a locker hard enough to giv
