CALEB.

I left the room with a heaviness in my chest I couldn't shake off, a sour weight pressing down on my ribs with every step I took. Regret bled into me slowly, stubbornly, like poison seeping into veins.

Why… Why was I feeling like this?

Nothing about this situation made sense.

We—Cypril, Cain, and I—wanted Amelia. We chose her, we agreed she was the one, even before the whole engagement.

And yet the bond inside me, ancient, stubborn, relentless, seemed to scream something entirely differe

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    91. SMART.

    CHAPTER 91: SMART.Melissa.I rolled my eyes the moment Amelia came into full view.Of course. The drama queen had arrived. The air itself seemed to shift, as though her presence alone could pull tension from every corner and twist it into something messy, something unavoidable. I knew, immediately, that things were about to take a drastic turn.Cain, who had been holding me close moments before, instantly released his grip on my waist. The sudden absence of his warmth left a small, hollow ache behind, and I pulled away from him just as quickly, instinctively trying to hide the way my body had betrayed me, hardened nipples pressing against the fabric, unwanted evidence of sensation I didn’t want anyone to see.Hell with it.Hell with the way my body kept reacting to their touch, no matter how much I tried to control it. I couldn’t help the memory that flared unbidden, that reminded me of the earth-shattering climax Cypril had given me five years ago. The memory made my chest tighten a

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    90. EXCUSE.

    Melissa.“And what makes you think we would do that?”The voices came at the same time, cold, firm and unyielding. I didn’t need to turn immediately to know who they belonged to.But I did anyway, slowly and deliberately.Cain and Caleb stood a few steps behind Cypril, their presence filling the space like a storm that had been waiting for the right moment to strike.Of course.They couldn’t stay away.A scoff slipped from my lips as I shifted my attention fully to them.“Tell me,” I said, my voice calm but edged with steel, “what exactly is stopping you from doing so… Mr. Stone?”The title landed just as sharply as before and just like Cypril they reacted…only slightly, as there was a flicker in their expressions—a brief pause.Something unspoken passed between them and then it was gone, masked and controlled.As if it never happened.Cain’s gaze hardened, his jaw tightening as he stepped forward just enough to close the distance between us.“Are you that eager?” he asked instead, hi

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    89. RESPONSE.

    Melissa. I woke up slowly, my body stretching lazily against the softness of the bed.A quiet breath slipped past my lips as I rolled slightly onto my back, staring up at the ceiling for a brief moment, letting the calmness of the morning settle over me.It had been… exhausting.Yesterday alone felt like it had drained every ounce of energy from me.From accompanying Louis around the hall, greeting guests, maintaining composure, answering questions, to dealing with Amelia’s perfectly crafted drama…I closed my eyes briefly.A faint scoff almost escaped me, of course she would choose a public setting, of course she would perform.Everything about it had been predictable.And yet… still tiring.I pushed the thoughts away and sat up slowly, stretching my arms above my head. My muscles protested slightly, reminding me just how long the day had been.“Just one quiet morning…” I murmured to myself.That was all I wanted, nothing complicated, nothing dramatic…just peace.I slipped out of bed

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    88. Collect it.

    AmeliaI was still leaning against them when we moved away from the entrance, their hands steadying me as if I might collapse at any moment.If only they knew.The only thing threatening to collapse was the mask I was struggling to keep in place. Inside me, something was boiling, raging and burning so fiercely I could almost feel it clawing its way up my throat.How did it turn up this way?The worst part of it was that stood there…calm, composed and untouched.It infuriated me.That wasn’t how this was supposed to go.I had expected her to lose control, to react, to embarrass herself in front of everyone, just like she always did back then.To remind them all of the weak, pathetic girl she used to be but she didn’t, she didn’t even look affected, she stood there like she was above us.Above me.My fingers curled tightly at my sides as they helped me walk.What I wanted…What I truly wanted…Was to run back there….Grab her….Slap her hard across the face and wipe that calm, superior look

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    87. Memories.

    Cypril.I had lost my wolf in order to save her.That alone should have meant something, It should have counted for something but as I stood there, watching her turn her back on me without a second glance, it didn’t feel like sacrifice.It felt like failure.A complete, crushing failure that settled heavily in my chest, making it hard to breathe.My fingers curled slowly at my sides as her retreating figure disappeared further into the crowd, her hand firmly held by Louis, her posture straight, her head high.She didn’t look back, not once and somehow… that hurt more than anything else she had said.My jaw tightened.A dull ache spread through me, deeper than anything I had felt in years.Then…the memories came, uninvited and unstoppable.They crashed into my mind with such force that for a moment, I wasn’t standing in a grand hall filled with powerful Alphas anymore.I was back there.Back on the training field.The sun had been bright that day, casting long shadows across the ground

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    86. MISSED YOU.

    Melissa.I was still smiling, the corners of my lips lifted in a soft, genuine curve, when Louis leaned closer. His presence pressed just slightly against my side, his voice dropping to that low, intimate murmur that made me shiver despite myself. I let out a soft, quiet laugh, the sound barely above the music, but it was filled with amusement, a gentle escape from the formality of the hall.For a fleeting moment, everything felt effortless. Light. Easy. Like the weight of the entire evening had vanished and all that remained was the simple connection between us.We had just finished greeting a handful of the most important guests, powerful Alphas, influential figures, people who carried themselves with authority and expected the same from us. They were polite, formal, respectful. And I had handled each interaction with practiced grace, answering questions with calm precision, offering polite smiles, nods, and gestures where appropriate. Louis, of course, carried the weight of thei

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    43. I am back.

    Melissa.The breakfast was finally over.That single thought echoed in my head as I remained seated, my back stiff, my hands folded neatly in my lap like a well-trained servant awaiting dismissal. I had learned long ago that rising too early was considered disrespectful. I had to wait, wait for eac

    Melissa.I stayed curled on the floor for what felt like hours, my tears soaking the fabric of my wedding dress , my chest heaving with each sob. The silence of the room pressed down on me like a weight I could barely bear. But somewhere deep inside, beneath the shame, the grief, and the exhaustion

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    38. Alone.

    Melissa.I lay there, trembling, my body screaming in pain, the echoes of Fredrick’s blows still ringing in my head. The room was silent except for the faint sound of my ragged breathing. I wanted to curl up, to disappear, to let the world forget I even existed.And then… the door creaked open.My

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    40. NOT NEGLECT.

    Melissa.I pushed myself off the floor slowly, every movement sending a dull ache through my body. My legs felt weak, but I refused to stay down any longer. I had cried enough. The room still smelled of humiliation, of raised voices and broken dignity, and I needed air, space, anything that wasn’t
