An Affair With The Triplets

ElaraA beautiful sunset illuminated the Sacred Mountains of the North, whose peaks were covered with thick snow, an unmistakable sign of the particular snowfalls of the area. As we drove along the road, the orange color of the sky embellished a landscape worthy of a postcard.Everything seemed beautiful and idyllic until I was aware of the cold seeping hard through the car window. I pulled my coat tightly around me to warm my body. The guards up ahead paid no attention to me; they were just laughing at an anecdote about a rookie who had failed the guard exam.The fact that they were distracted was an advantage for me.I didn't need them to decide to study me.Anyone with a little expertise could understand that I was cold and that would never be common for the daughter of a Beta. I smiled wryly at that fact, but the reality was that I was freezing to death because I, unlike a common wolf who could withstand the coldest temperatures in nature, could not summon my beast for warmth.I s

ElaraIt took me exactly forty minutes to locate myself spatially in Arcadia before I arrived at the mansion. I didn't know how to get in, so I knocked on the gate in desperation, and after several minutes, someone decided to put me out of my misery.I had been trained for many things, but I had never been trained to endure humiliation. What the Mikaelson had done to me was that and more.I knew I had to be smart because of the mission I had, but it was impossible to put up with the whole family. The fact that my biological father did nothing in the face of the mistreatment was enough for me to know that he was not worth my time.However, I could not fail at the first attempt.I refused to fail, and I wasn't going to let the Mikaelson get in my way.I entered the house in a hurry but noticed the cameras I hadn't detailed before; they were strategically hidden around the corners of the living room.Liz, the middle-aged woman who was to serve the food during dinner, eyed me kindly.“Are

BraydenThe moon was at its highest point when I arrived home.And I didn't know if it was the effect of it or the fact that I had stumbled upon the most important discovery of my entire existence that had me upset. A part of me had emotions running high in a way that I had never felt before.Never in all my years of existence had I felt such a disturbance.I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or worry; I could only remember the shocking silver-gray eyes that had consumed me less than three hours ago. Those eyes were like a spell; I could think of nothing but them and their bearer, the beautiful young woman who had stolen my breath.She is ours, my wolf Bardou said excitedly.That in itself was a feat of extraordinary levels.My wolf was more even-tempered than I was; to feel him upset was something completely unheard of, and that left me confused. When I entered the house, I avoided the long hallways and the guards. I was in such a state of bewilderment that I didn't feel like talkin

JaydenTheo didn't come home, but Brayden's informant's summary was detailed.Aiden looked for more information among other witnesses willing to talk about it, and when he returned, he was furious. Normally he didn't bother with Theo; the two of them had a very good relationship. They had been friends since they were little and worked very well together.I didn't tolerate Theo because he was a jerk.He used to have a certain moral superiority that unhinged me.So when we grew up, I distanced myself from the common friendships I had with my brothers. I discovered at a very young age that most of them were too much of a bootlicker for my own good.It was all rooted in fucking interest, and Theo fit that mold, although he did show some brains and sanity at times.Lauren and Tracy were worse.The Beta's wife was overbearing, dismissive, and thought she was important because of the power she had.Tracy was an exact copy of Lauren; that's why she always sought attention from one of us, alth

Elara“Is everything all right, sons?” asked Luna Kate.That made the triplets stop looking at me with golden eyes and focus their attention on their mother. I got a good look at them and noticed more differences between them, ones that weren't so obvious.Aiden would tense his frown when he paid attention to something.Brayden would stare intently at the source of his attention.Jayden was nibbling on his lip, as if ready for a quick response.It wasn't too hard to figure out who each triplet was; after all, they were very different from each other.“No, Mom,” Brayden said. “Everything's fine; Elara's just having breakfast.”“That sounds great to me,” Luna said. “I want when she's done eating, one of you to take her to the velvet room; she'll be comfortable there.”I saw joy in Jayden's eyes, surprise in Brayden's face, and bewilderment on Aiden's.“The room that connects to ours?” asked Aiden with a frown.That made me turn to look at Luna Kate, in disbelief, gave me a big smile.“Y
