“What do you mean, love?” Levi stepped forward, gently grabbing my hand. His voice was soft, tender—but his grip was trembling.

“Look into my eyes and tell me that,” he said, searching my face, hoping to find the Darren he once knew.

I couldn’t.

I turned my gaze away. Because if I looked into his eyes-those beautiful, soft eyes.I would crash. I would break. And I couldn’t afford to.

I steadied myself, took a breath, and pushed his hand away.

I needed to play this perfectly, or they’d see through me. They’d realize I wasn’t their Darren. They’d know something had changed.

“I… I need to ask something important,” I said, trying to sound fragile but firm. “How do I know all three of you are not here because of what I am? Because of what my blood can do for your packs?”

I touched my chest—Darren’s chest—and felt it beat wildly.

“How do I know you're not just here for power?” My voice cracked, just enough to sell it. “I’m sorry, but I can’t risk it. Not like this.”

Ryan’s eyes narrowed. “Darren…”

And then Caden broke in, voice like a whip. “Darling, what are you saying? You’re talking about our future. Your future. With me.”

I was surprised they hadn't started fighting yet—but I could feel the energy shift. Ryan turned to glare at Caden, teeth clenched.

“This isn’t you,” Caden growled again. “Darren would never say that. He would’ve chosen me without hesitation.”

And he was right.

Caden was the one who’d won Darren’s heart in the original story. But this wasn’t his story anymore. This was mine.

“I want all three of you,” I said again, louder this time. “I don’t want to choose. I want all of you.”

Silence fell like thunder.

Ryan staggered a step back, like I'd struck him. “That’s not possible,” he hissed. “What are you saying, Darren? We’re all Alphas. Three Alphas in one relationship? You want to marry all three of us?”

Caden’s jaw clenched as his nostrils flared. Ryan tried to make sense of it, holding back his rising temper. I could see it, feel it—the tension, the jealousy, the possessiveness. and weird enough I'm loving it.. Author's doesn't describe these feelings enough

Then the idea sparked.

“Okay, fine,” I said, lifting my chin. “If choosing now is too sudden… give me one month.”

They all blinked.

“In one month, you’ll each show me how much I mean to you. Show me love. Show me real love. Not just power plays. Not just fate.”

My voice rose, full of conviction. “And at the end of that month, I’ll choose.”

Then

Caden snapped.

He roared and flung a table across the room. It crashed against the wall, splintering into pieces. His wolf was there—in his eyes, in his shaking hands, in his aura. Barely held back.

“What the fuck are you saying?” he growled. “You think this is a game, Darren?”

Ryan looked like he wanted to join him. His own Alpha instincts bubbling beneath the surface but he reined himself in with effort. Barely.

Levi… Levi was calm.

Surprised, yes. But calm.

And then he said the words that made my heart flutter:

“I’m in.”

All heads turned to him.

“I’m ready to show you how much I love you,” he said softly, stepping toward me. “And if they’re not, that’s their loss. I’ll be here every day—every damn day—proving that it’s you who drives me crazy.”

I swallowed. Hard.

Then Cayden stepped forward again, eyes still blazing with fury but beneath it, there was something desperate. Something… real. I can feel it.

“No,” he growled. “I’m in too.”

His voice echoed through the hall, firm and dangerous.

“I’ve already shown you how much I love you, Darren. I don’t know what the hell got into your goddamn head, but if I have to prove it again I will. I’ll make you remember. I’ll make you feel it.”

I could barely breathe.

And then Ryan, who had stood in silence, finally spoke.

Just two words.

“I’m in.”

Simple. Steady. So Ryan.

He didn’t need to say more. His confidence was quiet, but it was cutting. He believed—no, he knew that I would choose him.

And maybe in another life, I would’ve.

But this wasn’t that life anymore.

I lifted my chin, heart thundering. “It’s done.”

“Elena!” I called out, and she burst through the doors like she'd been holding her breath the whole time. Her eyes searched mine wildly, the question already in them.

“Which one?” she asked breathlessly.

I smirked.

She blinked. “Which one, my Lord?”

And I smiled, sharp and slow.

“All three.”

She looked at me like I had just unleashed a curse. Her eyes darted to the alphas, who stood stunned tension thick in the room.

Levi was the one who stepped in.

“She’s given us one month,” he explained" A chance to prove our love to her.”

Elena’s hand grabbed mine. She dragged me out of the room, closing the doors behind us.

“I thought you were going to pick Alpha Cayden,” she hissed. “You said”

“I was,” I lied smoothly. “But now… I’m not sure. I need to know who really loves me. Who’s here for me not just the title, not just my blood.”

She narrowed her eyes. “Are you sure about this, Darren? One month? Do you know the pressure you’re under? The people”

“Let them wait,” I interrupted coldly. “I need time.”

“You’re not just a lover anymore, Darren,” she whispered. “You’re the Moon Chosen. You belong to the nation. one of the three packs. They expect you to pick a pack you'll bless today. "

I looked her dead in the eyes.

“I’ll pick. Just… not yet.”

I turned, stepped back into the hall, and raised my voice to the three Alphas.

“Cayden,” I said, locking eyes with him. “You’ll be first. I’ll spend a week in your pack, by your side.”

He exhaled sharply, jaw clenched.

“After that, Ryan,” I continued, “I’ll spend a week with you.”

Ryan didn’t even flinch he only nodded.

“And then, Levi. You’ll have the third week.”

Levi gave me a soft, proud smile.

“And the final week?” Caden asked, folding his arms.

“I’ll use the last week alone,” I said. “To think. To choose.”

Silence fell.

And then Cayden smirked, stepping forward and towering over the other two.

“One week with me?” he said, his voice low and dark. “You promised me forever. I’m not giving up just because the game got harder.”

He glanced at Ryan and Levi, a warning in his eyes.

“And I will win you back.”

    *~Caspian POV~*Standing in front of Cyrius with Hazel unconscious beside me.. My heart thudded hard in my chest, my eyes darting around in a frantic search for her babies—but they were nowhere in sight."Hello, brother," I said, my voice calm but edged with steel.His eyes..dark, almost void-like..were locked entirely on Hazel. The wolfsbane-coated arrows in his hands glinted faintly under the dim light."Shift," he ordered, his tone dripping with venom.I raised my hand before he could come closer, the air between us thick with tension. "Stay away from her. Where are the babies?"He didn't answer. His grip tightened on the arrows, his knuckles whitening.Before he could lunge, Aurora's voice rang out like a whip. "Versa!" In a flash, she pounced, knocking him back. Wolves erupted around us, snarls filling the night air."Go find the babies. I'll handle these," Aurora barked, cracking her knuckles with a dark grin.The moment she mentioned the babies, Cyrius's eyes widened. He bolted

    *~Hazel's POV~* Before I could even process these strange emotions..or decide what I should do next—the sound of wheels crunching on sand pulled me from my thoughts. Cyrius' carriage was coming down the path toward us. He hopped down, eyes alight. "I managed to get a priest… but he's not coming today. Don't worry…tomorrow, right here, we'll come back and get married. And then we live…" He leaned closer, voice dropping into a promise that made my stomach twist. "…we live happily ever after." My stomach growled, but it wasn't hunger—it was guilt. The image of Caspian flashed in my mind. I had promised him forever too. The weight of it sat heavy on my chest. I could only nod. Cyrius didn't notice—or pretended not to. He sat me down and began feeding me pieces of fruit from the basket he'd packed, one by one, like it was the most natural thing in the world.

"You should allow me in," I snapped, voice cracked and desperate. "Why are you doing this to me, Hazel? Why are you so damn unfair?"She didn't answer, but she didn't need to. Her silence felt like betrayal."They took everything from me," I snarled. "They took my throne. Now they've taken you. Why? Why do I always lose? Why are they always the ones who win?"Her voice came out softer this time, barely a whisper. "No one is taking me away from you, Cyrius."But I shook my head violently. "You don't get it. I'm never yours," she added.Wrong answer.My voice rose, cracked with fury and pain. "You are literally my mate! You are literally the only woman who makes me feel like this. Who drives me mad!

    Tyler's POVI know I'm making either the dumbest decision of my life… or the worst.I should be heading home, maybe calling Eric and trying to salvage whatever's left of that friendship or at the very least, lick my wounds. But instead, here I am. Sitting in a cab, heading straight back to the reason Anne and I cracked open in the first place. Back to his place.

  • Greedy Me Wants All Alphas to Myself    The craving

    Han's POVThe Calm, The Crack, The CravingThe silence after the storm was heavy. Not peaceful just heavy. The kind that draped over everyone like wet fabric, suffocating and slow. I leaned back into the couch, legs crossed, eyes half-lidded as if bored, but truth be told I was absolutely thriving. Drama? Delicious. Violence? Entertaining. Secrets? Addictive.I hadn't even handed Tyler the damn one million I had prepared. Not that I could, now. The air had shifted too much. It would be out of place to pass him a neat envelope of money after he just almost broke his best friend's jaw for impregnating his girl.Or… ex-girl.Tyler sat down heavily, like his bones couldn't carry the weight of what had just happened. Anne emerged from the bathroom, her face pale, her mascara slightly smudged but her voice? Her voice was steel."I'm not planning to have this child with you, Eric. Or with anybody else," she said.I blinked. Oh? Bold of her. She glanced at all of us like we were shadows in th
