Alaric's POV.My body and head were definitely not ready for what has just been happening since. “How in the world is Zelda and missing? Noel too?” I thought to myself, completely dejected.Ajax suddenly sighed loudly and that caught my attention.“What is it?” I asked, red-eyed at this moment.“I know who took Zelda and Noel.” Ajax suddenly declared.With my head on my hands, and me being in deep thought, I had not been a part of the conversation that was going on.“Not when I finally told her my feelings. Not now.” I kept thinking.I felt it was my fault in a way, but I couldn't decipher how.I suddenly stood up from my seat and darted towards Ajax, ripping the letter away from his hand and reading its content. Apparently, our mother had known that the king was going to die, and she had a list of suspects mentioned in her letter. There were two critical pieces of information in her letter.
Noel’s POV I opened my eyes and everything that had happened felt like a dream except for the pain that I felt as I watched my father lifeless on the floor. I took a deep breath and stood up to start the day, my dad had always said that dying at his age was no big deal, and I knew it was time I took his words seriously.But now I have no real family and I felt more lost than ever, I decided to go meet the people close enough to be called family. I met a guard on my way, and he handed me a letter that was meant for the princes. “There is a letter for you three,” I informed them as I sat beside Zelda. I handed it over to Alaric and he opened it. “What does it say?” I asked him, but he didn’t say a word and just handed the letter back to me. I cleared my throat after reading it. “Well, it seems like the king left his son one last gift.” I declared. “What do you mean?” Ajax asked. “A solution to the bizarre situation of sharing a mate. Turns out it was quite an easy one.” I expl
Zelda’s POV Noel exited the room and I looked at Alaric, who was now looking me straight in the eye.“I will be in my room,” I said and slowly walked away, but he was following me and just when I held the door knob to enter my room, he held me back. “You just publicly chose me in front of everyone, you don’t think I’m just going to let you go into your room, right?” He asked as I turned around to look at him. Before I could say anything else, he pushed me inside the room and pushed me to the bed. He suddenly looked like a beast ready to devour me whole, and that excites me. He pulled down his trousers and I looked in between his legs with my eyes open, but I instantly pulled myself together. “You want me now after how badly you have treated me?” I said while sitting up, as I tried hard to stop myself from jumping on him that instant.“You don’t want me?” He asked seductively, and I smiled mischievously.I gestured for him to join me in bed, and he looked at me for a while before
Zelda Pov’sWind 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
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
