" Mine" I thought I heard them say. Or maybe it was the aftermath of the alcohol. These men were devilishly handsome and alike! “ Hey handsomes, how about a night with you all? I am clean and can pay you too,” I bargained, my words coming out in a slur. It's better to lose it to these hot dudes than scumbag Anderson. “ You are drunk, little girl,” One of them reprimanded. “ I am drunk with the desire to make you all mine!” I uttered, grabbing his neck as I placed my lips on his. “ Don’t regret this!” I heard his groan, his hands gripping my butt. Regret? I would have regretted it if I had given myself to that bastard, Anderson. Then he added, “ Once you are ours, you can never escape. You will be ours for eternity.” Weird…what was he talking about? Nevertheless, I wanted them already. “ Deal!” I hastily agreed, placing my lips on his. Regret? Nayyy, this was simply three times the joy I bargained for! ** I woke up the following morning with a pounding headache, a clear sign of a rough hangover. When I attempted to shift, I felt a heavy hand resting on me. Turning to my side, I was taken aback by the sight before me. Three handsome guys lie out on the bed, sound asleep. I instinctively leapt off the bed, hitting the floor hard and praying I wouldn’t wake them up. I was completely naked, and so were they… what did that imply? Oh no! Did I just have a wild first night with three dudes? Memories of the previous night flooded back, and I recalled everything that had happened between us. My body felt sore and the tingling sensation from last night lingered. “ I can't believe I gave myself to not just one stranger, but three!” I muttered, biting my lower lip. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would find myself in such a situation. Curse the alcohol and curse Anderson. I couldn’t shake off the embarrassment. I wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole, feeling like a complete mess and utterly ashamed. I swiftly wiped away the tears that were on the verge of falling and began to look for my clothes, nearly stumbling as I did so. Suddenly, a voice echoed in my mind. “ELISE, COME TO THE BORDER!” It was Mira. What could have happened? Did those ruthless Alpha Triplets finally grew impatient and started a war? I rushed to put on my clothes, feeling guilt wash over me. How could I have forgotten about the impending war in our pack? Mira sounded so anxious. I clutched my shoes tightly, hoping to slip away without drawing any attention. The men were still deep in sleep and I felt the urge to kiss them deeply. “ Dammitse! Get yourself together,” I scolded myself. Once outside the club, I quickly shed my clothes, transformed into my wolf form, and ran straight toward the border. My mind was filled with the memories from the previous night, making it difficult to concentrate. Upon reaching a distance away from the camp, I quickly transformed back to my human self. I noticed everyone was in a panic. I rushed towards Alpha Kingston to find out what was going on. However, a slender figure blocked my path. It was Lisa, biting her lower lip as she approached me. She wore a secret smirk as she got closer to me. It took all my willpower not to punch her in the face. “ Elise…” We had been friends, just like Anderson, who I now realised had been betraying me behind my back. I could never treat her the same way again. The image of her with Anderson was buried in my mind, and I couldn’t shake it off. “Stay away from me, Lisa! If you don’t, I swear I’ll end you myself!” With a hateful glare, I walked up to Alpha Kingston. I saw the sneer on her face slowly transforming to raw fear. Another glare at the bitch and she sauntered away. Alpha Kingston was drenched in sweat, looking as if he were on the brink of a panic attack. I quickly took his hand and guided him to a safe place to sit. “Uncle Kingston, what’s happening? It’s complete chaos everywhere, and…” I barely finished my sentence when I noticed two familiar figures from the other side of the border. “ Who are these men?” I asked, panic written all over my face. My heart sank, and disbelief washed over me; it felt like I was trapped in a nightmare. “ These are the triplets of the Blood Trinity Kingdom. The one with golden hair is the second son. The other one is the last,” I overheard Alpha Kingston say. I clenched tightly at my foster uncle's hands, unknowingly. These were two of the infamous bloodthirsty triplets known for their brutality. They always destroy every kingdom together with the brutal Alpha Prince, the eldest of them all. Including mine… If the Alpha King was ruthless, then the Alpha Prince and the infamous duo were monstrous and bloodthirsty. These men left no survivors in whichever pack they raided and had remained mateless for years. Rumour had it they would take women until they passed out, then discard their bodies in the woods for rogues to feast on. These men looked very familiar to those men of last night. The ones that saved me. I shook my head as these men couldn't have been them. They wouldn’t have saved me if they were indeed the infamous triplets. Besides, there were three men last night, not two. “ The Alpha King sent them here to take our people hostage because we ignored his message,” Alpha Kingston added. Just then, an oppressive aura seems to envelop everyone. Even the wind seems to obey the presence of the mysterious person. I felt my uncle trembling as his eyes locked on a familiar figure walking towards us. With a gasp, my eyes widened at the figure as my worst fear lay bare before me. Indeed, these were the same men! The same ones I just had a wild night with. My heart was beating so fast, I couldn't even control it. What was I thinking when I allowed myself to get drunk like that! I desperately hoped they wouldn’t recognise me; that would surely spell my doom. The last thing I needed was for anyone to bring up anything from the previous night. I could practically feel the shame suffocating me. The other men around the duo made a bow, “ My Prince!” My legs wobbled, realisation dawning on me. “ Brother, don't scare her” the infamous duo said, their eyes still fixed on me. I swallowed hard at their words. I was doomed even before the war began. I can’t believe I just slept with the brutal Alpha Prince of the Trinity pack alongside the bloodthirsty duo. The infamous triplet of the Blood Trinity Kingdom. I thought I was miserable enough, until I heard his next words. Surely, the moon goddess hates me! I was surely doomed.Elise’s POV I woke before sunrise, feeling weird. Something didn't sit right with me, not in the least. My last encounter with the triplets left me depleted, especially from Damon.Still cruel as ever. And I still hated him as ever too!Clutching the blanket, I let out a growl as I desperately reeled my thoughts away from that monster who was obviously a replica of his murderous father, Alpha King Gomez. At the thought of the king, my eyes snapped open as if something invisible had reached into my dreams and dragged me upward, tearing me away from the last remnants of sleep.A cold shiver crawled down my spine. Something felt… wrong. This time, it was obviously...too wrong. The aura was dangerous, not immediately dangerous. But it was shifting...changing and awakening.Like the entire palace had inhaled sharply while I slept… and now held its breath, waiting.Waiting for me.I pushed the blankets aside and sat up slowly, letting the morning light stain the floor in faint gold lines.
Alpha King’s POV “My sons are fools.”The words reverberated through the empty ceremonial hall, rising and falling like a death sentence whispered into the bones of the palace itself.The hall was massive—high ceilings, towering black pillars, ancient carvings of wolf gods—yet tonight, it felt suffocating.I stood before the obsidian throne, hands clasped behind my back, the cold marble reflecting the steel in my eyes.“Three alphas. Three heirs. And all it took was one girl to shake their foundations.”My voice carried a controlled power, but beneath it lay something far more dangerous:Frustration.And the faintest hum of fear.Not fear of Elise.No.Fear of what her presence threatened to unleash.“They were trained to lead armies,” I muttered.“To conquer kingdoms.To spill blood without hesitation.To be unbreakable.”Yet a humorless laugh slipped from my throat.“And now they quarrel like pups… because of her.”I ran a hand along the carved wolf head of the throne’s armrest, th
Derek’s POV I felt it, deep inside. It felt calm yet it was wrong. It wasn't wrong in the way chaos alerts you, like shouting, running, and crashing.No.It was just too quiet, even the wind ceased to make it's usual sound. Rather, it was swallowed by a slow, creeping and suffocating quiet.A quiet that pressed against the walls, slithered across the floors, seeped into the marrow of the palace like a warning.A quiet that felt alive. The kind of silence that happens right before a monster opens its eyes.I walked with deliberate steps through the corridor, my boots cracking against the marble in a rhythm too calm for the storm I felt brewing beneath everything. Every guard I passed bowed too quickly, too stiffly. Their eyes darted, nervous, sensing something they couldn’t name.But I could.Elise.She was the shift in the air. The change in the temperature. The tremor humming through the stone. And while Damon and Drake were unraveling her, I was observing.Damon was all wildfire, a
Damon’s POVThe morning hit like a blade.Sharp.Unforgiving.Too bright for the mood tearing through the palace.Even the walls felt wrong—too still, too aware, like they were listening to every breath. The air tasted of metal, tension, and something else…Fear.Mine?No.Theirs.Servants avoided my gaze. Guards wouldn’t meet my eyes. And the palace temperature felt off—colder, as if the building sensed the storm gathering in the bones of the royal family.I hadn’t slept.I couldn’t sleep—not with her voice still echoing inside me, curling like smoke around my ribs.Drake.She said his name like a sin. Soft. Sweet. Dangerous.That whisper was poison—and I swallowed every drop.I ground my teeth.She hadn’t whispered my name.Not Derek’s.Just his.The wolf inside me prowled restlessly, snapping and clawing like a beast trapped in a too-small cage. Every breath felt thick, hot, suffocating.She had infected me.I took the stairs slowly, each step louder than it needed to be, letting t
Damon Pov Everything tasted wrong.The palace was quiet, but not the peaceful kind of quiet—this was the type that stretched, thin and wired, like a bowstring pulled too tight. Tension hummed through the corridors, clinging to the marble, settling in the shadows.And the source of it?Drake.My brother had always been reckless—easily amused, easily distracted, easily charmed. But tonight, something pulled at him so hard it nearly tore the bond between us. I felt it the moment he jolted awake—shock, lust, confusion all twisting together like a serpent tightening around his throat.I didn’t go to him.I didn’t ask questions.I watched.Quietly.Always quietly.From the doorway of my own chamber, hidden in the darkness, my senses stretched toward his room down the hall. His emotions were a storm—raw, unguarded, stronger than anything I had ever felt from him before.That alone alarmed me.Drake didn’t lose control like this. Not unless provoked.And only one person in this entire palace
ELISE POVThe training hall was dim, lined with weapons and polished floors designed for combat. I stepped inside, letting my fingers graze the cool stone. What i didn't tell Damon was that Mandy was already waiting for me with my training suit." My princess, you can change over there," Mandy pointed out.A moment later, as soon as I came out of the changing room, Derek appeared through the opposite door... silent as smoke.He looked at me with those unreadable silver eyes, his expression the same calm mask he always wore. But his pupils dilated the second he saw me. Just a fraction.But enough.“You want something,” Derek said.I smirked faintly. “Good morning to you too.”“You won't come here unless you need something.”He stepped closer, circling me slowly. His version of studying a puzzle with too many missing pieces. Even the body suited training pants and top couldn't stop his predatory eyes.Perverts...He added, biting his lips.“And something about you changed last night.”My
