Zelda POV’s
Two 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 King is sick.I navigated around the corridors of each room, then I finally gathered the courage to approach a door, my hands hesitated and I inhaled deeply then I slowly knocked on the door but I got no response. I sighed and I pushed the door opened walking in.I got into the room, peering into the darkness. My heart pounded in my chest as I took a tentative step forward."Mum?" I called as I stated into the darkness.My hands trembled as I reached out, groping for a light switch. But my fingers found only empty air. I froze, suddenly paralyzed by fear. The darkness closed in around me, like a shroud, and I felt as if I were being swallowed whole."Mum," I called again, this time around I was scared to my wits.Suddenly I felt someone me from behind, as I tried to scream, a hand suddenly covered my mouth."Who are you?" I asked in a muffled breath as I tried to reach out, to grab onto something, anything, but my arms were pinned to my sides. A hand clamped over my mouth, muffling my screams. I could feel a hot breath on the back of my neck, and a whisper in my ear."Be quiet," The voice said, "Or you'll regret it." He added, I was so scared. I didn't know what was going to happen, or what I could do.I knew it was definitely one of my mates because I could perceive his scent, but I didn't know who the exact person was.Suddenly I felt his hands going to my breast level and my breathe hitched.I couldn't believe this was happening. I had been trying to stay away from them, to do as the Lycan King had asked,"It's Aiden, you don't have to be scared, you came here on your own right? It means something doesn't it?" He asked as he tried to get his hands into my dress.I was too scared to fight back. He was so much stronger than me, and I knew he could easily overpower me. I was terrified of what he might do if I tried to resist."Please stop, I also belong to your brothers," I said and he scoffed."I'm the eldest so I should have you first!" He said and he slammed his lips on mine, immediately all the defense around me broke. His hands went around inch of my body.This was a whole new feeling for me, I haven't done or experienced such feelings in all my existence.He nibbled on my lower lips as his hand did justice to my breast, pinching my nipples while I moaned in his mouth.We both fell on the bed and he removed my trousers and his hands trailed from my thigh to my undies, as he tried removing it, the door barged opened and the light immediately came on. With Ajax standing st the middle of it."How dare you!" Ajax growled in anger and he quickly rushed to Aiden and he pulled him away from him, punching him hard on his face.Aiden didn't back out either, he also punched Ajax and they both rolled on the floor.The two brothers were fighting, sounds of groans and fist punches could be heard. Their raised voices ringing in my ears. I felt trapped, like a caged animal. I didn't know what to do. My heart was racing, my breath shallow, and my palms were sweating. I just wanted it all to stop."Stop please… I said stop," I said, but my voice came out subdued, I couldn't even hear myself."What the fuck is going on here!" A men manly voice yelled, I turned around and I saw Alaric running into the room.He got to them and he pull them away from each other and I inhaled deeply, happy someone came at the right moment.Now, I just had to get away from here, my heart always betrays me whenever I'm with them.'i can't believe you guys are fighting over this thing, you fools!" Alaric yelled, glaring at me.Not wanting to face the insults, I hurriedly wore my trousers and I ran out of the room.I felt disgusted and embarrassed of myself. Why me? Why would I be a mate to triplets. Why!"I have just the king's orders, what do I do? How do I face him?" Unanswered questions filled my head.I was about to go to my room when I saw Alaric walking towards me, I wanted to run but I felt my legs rooted to the floor. My heart beat increased as I stared at him."You should know I despise you, Zelda and the next time you'll pull such stunt you did, I swear with my mother's corps, I'll kill you!" He said and I flinched, but my stupid heart didn't see any of this as a threat. Instead I didn't know when I smiled heartwarmingly."You're smiling? Who do you think you are? It seems you think you're special because my brothers are fooling themselves just to be buried inside of you? Let's see how long you can take," He yelled.Any normal human being would have struggled or ran, but I wasn't normal, my heart and the mate bond works more than my mind. I did the unexpected as I followed him quietly.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
Aiden's POVWas she joking with me? Or did she think she has a choice? I wanted nothing than to mould those luscious lips so they could shut the fuck up. The moment hung in the air like a suspended breath, a profound stillness that belied the seismic shift that was about to unfold. For so long, I had held the belief that I could shape her destiny and that my decisions would be the guiding force in her life. But now, as her gaze met mine with unwavering resolve, I felt the ground beneath me tremble, and the certainty I once clung to began to unravel.A rush of emotions surged within me, a tidal wave of surprise, disbelief, and a hint of admiration. It was as if I had encountered a force of nature, an unexpected tempest that threatened to upend the carefully laid plans I had constructed."Feisty, right?" I asked, smirking as I walked closer to her. I wanted to shut that mouth up, seriously."I love feisty, Zel..." I added, licking my lips. I watched her gulping and I smelled her arous
Zelda's POVI can't believe Aiden would think he can actually force me into what I don't want to do. How could he be so selfish?As he held me close to himself, I could feel my treacherous body reacting to his touch. I knew he could smell the arousal. Even my wolf couldn't hide her excitement at the touch of my mate.Or rather one of my mates. In that heart-pounding moment, my instincts kicked into overdrive as I struggled against the unyielding grip of Aiden's hand around my wrist. Panic surged through my veins like an electric shock, sending my heart into a frenzied rhythm that matched the rapid pace of my thoughts."I want him, Zelda..." That was my wolf, unable to control the urge coursing through us. But Aiden wasn't my priority right now. I was still trying to wrap my head on the fact that I was mated to three hot dudes, although one was... evil. "Not now! Don't even start with me," I told her, shutting her off.Every fiber of my being screamed for escape, my body tensing as
