Zelda Pov’s
Wind bustled through the branches of the trees, making the leaves howl in their symphony.Walking along the gravel path in the woods.The crunch of the leaves underneath my feet, the wind whistling through the trees, or the smell of damp wood after rainfall.I was just coming back from the court training, it is strictly for Omegas like myself in order to enhance our skill, that way we'll be able to defend ourselves from the rogue wolves.On getting home, I was shocked when I saw the Lycan’s king convoy outside our hut. My eyes dimmed and my mouth opened in awe.“What is the Lycan king convoy doing here? Did my mum do anything to offend him? What was her crime?” I asked no one in particular as I felt the funny thud in my chest which was beating rapidly.I was scared, really scared of any chances that my mum did something wrong.I've heard many tales about him, he's a no-nonsense man, said to be evil and cruel.I didn't even know what to do at the moment, but I knew I had to protect my mum from him, so I ran into the hut.“Mum!” I screamed, but my voice bounced back to me when I heard the voices of chatter and giggles embracing the environment.“Zelda you're here,” Mum smiled at me, while I smiled, wondering what was going on.“Wow, is she the one you were telling me about?” The Lycan king asked my mum and she smiled, nodding her head.“Welcome Zelda,” He smiled,confusing me the more. On a normal circumstances, I would have been on my knees now, greeting him. But right now he was the one welcoming me.“Mum, what's going on here?” I asked and she smiled.“I know you have a lot in your head right now, but with time you'll understand,” She replied and I scoffed.I wanted to yell and scream for her to tell me the truth, because all this is obviously insane.“I'm getting married to your mum!” The Lycam king dropped the bombshell.“What!” I yelled, not believing my ears, the king marrying my mum who is just an omega? clearly despise and insulted by the pack. That was why we had to live deep in the woods.“Zelda dear, he's my mate,” My Mum added and I had to hold on to the wall in order to maintain my stance.“M mate?” I slutterred as my eyes moved around them, waiting for them to say something.“You remember the story I told you about a Lycan king and a omega wolf?” She asked and I slowly nodded, wondering why she was asking me about something she told me a long time ago.“It was all about me dear, everything I told you was the history between us,” She said gently and I blinked my eyes, pretending unwanted tears from coming out.I didn't know my mum was telling me all her life story all in the name of saying a bedtime story, I thought their love story ended in a sad way, but I was wrong.My mum and the Lycan king were once lovers back in time, but they couldn't get married since my mum was from a lower ranking pack, An omega.In order to protect his throne, he had to marry a rich princess. I didn't want to go into much details, thinking about what my mum suffered. Though my Dad managed to love her unconditionally, but he didn't last long. He died.“What about the queen then? I wouldn't want anything to harm my mum,” I said and he smiled.“I guess you didn't hear the news, the queen died tragically last week,” He replied calmly. With the look of things I knew he had no love for the queen.I could recall when my mum told me he promised to come back for his omega mate, but would he?Now I think he's back to claim his long-lost childhood sweetheart. Love is something unexpected as they say.“I bless your union mum, I know you wanted this, and Dad would be really happy too,” I said, and she stood up, pulling me into her arms.“I love you, Zelda, thanks for supporting my decision,” She said and I smiled, pulling away from her warm embrace.“Umm Zelda, I already packed your bag, we're moving out,” She said avoiding my gaze, and I grinned.“Fine mummy, whatever you say,” I responded and she laughed.“You’re now my princess, Zelda,” The Lycan King said and I smiled. By now the guards were already taking our things out, putting them inside the convoys.“We have to leave now, it’s already getting late,” He stood and the guards held his regalia as he walked out of our small hut.As I closed the door, I stared at the place where we relocated after being called an outcast, insulted, and disregarded. Perhaps this was a new beginning for us, now we’d have to learn to feel among.With all these thoughts, I slowly walked away and got into the convoy, then it drove off. I was leaving all my ugly memories behind.Two hours later…We were already in the palace as I waited for my room to be fixed. I didn't bother staring around like a lost puppy because I've actually been to the palace once, though as a cleaner.“Hey, I'm sorry for keeping you out here when you should be resting. I guess the maids got the room order on short notice,” The King said and I smiled. This was the full meaning of do not judge a book by its cover.I was expecting the king to be mean, but it was the other way round.“The room has been fixed,” A guard announced and a maid came to me, she'd be the one taking me to my room.“Have a good night's rest Zelda, I'll introduce you to my sons tomorrow morning,” He said and his words resounded in my brain.“Sons?” I couldn't help but ask.“Yes, they're triplets,” He replied, and my jaw dropped.“What the heck! I'll have three guys as my brothers?” I mentally asked as I trailed behind the maids.“Darn it! I'm in a deep shit!” I mumbled.Zelda POV’sIt was time for breakfast and the maid led me towards the dining room. To be honest, I have been on my toes when I heard about my new brothers. I wondered how they would look like and how they were going to treat me.Would they accept me just like their father or would they ignore me seeing their father married my mom barely a week after their mother's death? I was still deep in thoughts when I got to the dining room. I felt my heart pacing in a fast-paced rhyming pattern. My wolf which had remain silent since we moved here sprang out. It howled loudly in my head, calling out something that felt surreal. My eyes moved all over the place until it began to rest on the faces of the most handsome young men I had ever met. Cold, hot and lively personalities filled the air.Wait.... it couldn't be what I was thinking, was it? "Mate!" I and the triplets screamed as we stared at each other with our mouths widely opened.Silence lurked around the dining room, shocked expressions
Zelda POV’sTwo weeks later…For the past weeks, there had been lots of drama lately around me and the triplets. But I tried to get away from all of them at the best possible way. I didn't want their troubles.I woke up late at night and felt like speaking with my mother. My eyes darted around the room, trying to locate my mum’s room. I know she was somewhere nearby, but I couldn't pinpoint her exact location. I felt a growing sense of frustration and anxiety, as the minutes ticked by and I still couldn't find her. My heart began to race, and I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself.I didn't want to end up running into the triplets because we've been avoiding ourselves just as the Lycan king said. Except for Aiden who's been trying to disobey orders.My mum and I have been pretty much close since she was the only one I knew in here, though she usually comes to my room, but she hasn't been to my room for a day now and I'm worried. And I know she isn't with me because the Lycan Kin
Zelda POV'sMonths later…It has been a hectic month for us all, since the Lycan King has been terribly sick which also affected my mum, I guess it was because of the mate bond.My triplets mate wasn't actually showing any attention towards me, it was all about their sick Dad. I and the rest were cool, except for Alaric who loathed me, the same person who took my virginity though he refused to mark me.It was a bitter sweet experience for me, though I could still recall the words he said to me which brought shivers down my spine."This should be between us Zelda, the moment you tell anyone about this. I'll kill you,"His words rang severally in my head, and for months I couldn't tell anyone, I was afraid of telling anyone so I just let it sink in.I was actually in my room when the guards started playing drums. From my own understanding any time this occurs, it means a great person has fallen."Who could it be?" I was still thinking when I heard a loud howl. I knew who had that voice.
Zelda POV's I sat in my room as I began to panic. I didn't know why but I was worried about what had happened to Ajax, and I was afraid for his safety. Suddenly I heard a commotion outside, and I rushed to the window. I saw Ajax being released from the guards' grasp, looking disheveled and angry. I knew Aiden must have tortured him, but I couldn't bring myself to hate him.I smiled knowing Alax was alive and well, and I breathed a sigh of relief. But my relief was short-lived, as I knew that the conflict was far from over.Suddenly I and Ajax’s eyes met, and we shared a look that said more than words could ever. There was understanding there, and a bit of forgiveness. We both knew that the events of the day had been difficult, but we were both willing to put the past behind them. A flicker of hope sparked in my heart, and I felt a sense of peace wash over me. But I knew that there was still much to be done before things could be truly right again.Suddenly I was startled to hear Aj
Zelda’s POVWith Ajax gone, I remained in the palace with Alaric, who I still have no idea why he loathes me despite being my mate. And Aiden? That one walks around the palace in victory. Victory of whatever battle he thought he had won.I opened my window to stare at the empty garden of the palace as I let out a heavy sigh. I thought about what was to come and I can't help but miss my mom more than ever. I could really use her guidance right now."Mom… I miss you… miss you more than ever," I gushed out in pains, kept deep in my heart. I have become more lonely with each passing day, and the fact that I have no one to share my worries and fears with makes the palace feel less like home.Should I move out? Can I bear the separation from my mates?I was lying on my bed, facing the wall of the room. I kept thinking of Ajax, wondering where he could be and what he was doing now. I wonder if he thought about me like I do and if he was ever going to come back for me like he promised. "How
Zelda’s POVI stared at him, my eyes searching his face for an explanation. His gaze was unwavering, his expression calm and confident. I couldn't help but notice the way the light played across his features, highlighting the planes of his face. The longer I looked at him, the more aware I became of my surroundings. The air was thick with anticipation, and I could feel my pulse quickening in response."What's going through your mind right now?" he asked, his voice low and husky.I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out.I knew I needed to put as much distance as possible between us, but I couldn't seem to make my feet move. My thoughts were racing, my mind spinning in circles. I was caught in a storm of indecision, paralyzed by my fear and uncertainty.What if I ran and he followed me? What if I never escaped his clutches? I felt trapped, my mind and body frozen in place.The silence stretched on until it felt like it would swallow me whole. I had to do something, anything, t
My heart quickened its pace, pounding in my chest as if trying to escape the confines of my ribcage. Each breath felt shallow, and a lump formed in my throat, making it difficult to find my voice.The sudden arrival of the person filled the room with an aura of mystery, their intentions hidden behind the mask of a closed door. My mind raced with questions, and the fear of the unknown gripped me tightly. I felt like a vulnerable prey, aware that any wrong move could invite danger."You could at least show yourself! Hiding in the shadows wouldn't make you any scarier than you already are," I said, getting fed up with the fear eating me up.At that moment, the door became a barrier—a thin veil that separated me from whoever was at the other end and yet, it felt like a barricade protecting me.As the seconds turned into minutes, the tension in the air grew thicker, almost palpable. I felt like a deer caught in headlights, unable to move, speak, or discern the person's true intentions.In
Zelda's pov Yes, I needed to see him to clarify the issue in my heart. Sometimes, I wonder if there was a meaning to what the moon goddess was doing to me.Why would I have three mates? How can I know who my heart actually beat for? By the way, my heart beats for them all but then I feel there would be someone who should be the 'actual one'. As I walked down the corridor, my heart was beating fast, again. I wasn’t sure if it was right to go inside his room but I had no choice. I needed to meet him and confront him in my way. Not just him but also, confront my heart's feeling for him. The walk through the hall was gloomy and the light was dimmed which made the path dark, I finally made it to the front of his door and I sighed audibly. I could feel my legs wobbling in... fear? I don't think so.It wasn't Alaric. Alone him can make me afraid yet yearn for him too. "This is it, Zee" I encouraged myself.The decision to enter this room had been made with a certain spontaneity, a willin
