MELISSA.

“Arrrrrrrrrghhhh!”

The scream ripped out of me the moment the door slammed shut behind him. It wasn’t graceful, it wasn’t quiet, just raw pain twisting out of my chest like a blade being pulled free.

My knees nearly buckled. My lungs burned like I’d sprinted for miles. I clutched at my hair, pressing my palms to my temples as if I could hold my skull together.

What kind of fate was this?

What twisted joke had the Moon Goddess carved for me?

Why me?

Why must everything, every humiliati

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    111. A Villian.

    Melissa.The figure standing right in front of us was Ann.The moment my eyes landed on her, my entire body went still. My heart dropped instantly, a heavy wave of dread settling deep in my chest. And then, as if that wasn’t enough, I noticed the look on her face.It wasn’t just surprise, It was something more. Something that twisted painfully in my chest as realization dawned on me.She liked Davian.I didn’t need anyone to tell me that. The way her eyes lingered on him, the way her expression faltered despite her attempt to stay composed, it was all too obvious. And that look… it only confirmed everything I had unconsciously suspected before.Guilt crept in immediately.How was I supposed to explain this?How could I possibly make her understand what she had just walked into?And to make matters worse…Davian wasn’t helping, not even a little.Instead of stepping back, instead of creating distance or even showing the slightest hint of concern, he remained exactly where he was. His ha

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    110. Control.

    Melissa.Davian was such a pain in the neck, and at that point, I couldn’t help but wonder what exactly I had gotten myself into. From the moment I dragged him away, he hadn’t stopped talking. It was one story after another, random, unnecessary, and completely uninvited.And yet, I had no choice but to endure it.I nodded at intervals, offering small, automatic responses just to give the impression that I was listening, even though my mind had drifted far from whatever he was saying. It was exhausting, keeping up the act, but interrupting him felt like opening a door I wasn’t ready to deal with.Then, suddenly…He stopped.The shift was immediate.The playful tone he had been using all along disappeared, replaced by something heavier… something serious. It was so abrupt that it pulled my attention back to him completely.“Melissa, you are driving me crazy.”My breath caught slightly at the change in his voice.Before I could react, he reached for my hands, his fingers wrapping around

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    109. I hate losing.

    LOUIS.“Maddy… what are you doing here?” I asked, forcing my voice to remain steady, calm, anything but what I was actually feeling.Inside, nothing about this was calm.“Come on, Louis,” she replied smoothly, her lips curving into that familiar, knowing smile. “I followed my brother to ensure business goes well.” She paused, her gaze lingering on me for a second longer than necessary before she stepped back, moving with effortless grace as she sank into the chair beside Leonard. “Whereas I missed you.”I rolled my eyes almost immediately at that last part, unable to hide my reaction.Missed me?That was rich.I had never liked Maddy. Not even a little. In fact, if I was being completely honest with myself, I had been deeply disappointed the day I found out she was my mate. It had felt like some kind of cruel joke, one I wasn’t in the mood to laugh at.Because if there was anyone I had wanted…It wasn’t her.A flicker of frustration passed through me as the thought surfaced again, unin

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    108. It was her.

    Louis.Davian’s question had caught me off guard for a brief moment, but it wasn’t what lingered.It was Melissa’s reaction.That was what unsettled me the most.The way she froze, the way panic flickered across her face before she acted, it wasn’t something I had expected. And then, without hesitation, she shoved her hand into Davian’s mouth, stopping him mid-sentence in the most absurd, impulsive way possible.I blinked, still trying to process it.From the look of things, it seemed like she had a rather… close relationship with him. Close enough to act without thinking, close enough to touch him so freely, without restraint or hesitation.Something about that didn’t sit right with me as a strange discomfort settled in my chest, quiet but persistent. It wasn’t loud enough to name, but it was there, unwelcome and impossible to ignore.Still, I didn’t allow myself to dwell on it.I couldn’t.Because if I did… I wasn’t sure what thoughts would follow.So instead, I turned away.Without

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    107. Embarrassment.

    Melissa.For a brief, fleeting moment, I thought it was Louis.The way my name echoed behind me, sharp and urgent, made my heart skip instinctively, hope rising before I could stop it. My steps faltered, and I lifted my head, almost too quickly, almost eager.But the moment my eyes landed on the figure approaching me, that fragile hope shattered just as fast. Disappointment clung to me like a second skin, heavy and suffocating.It wasn’t Louis.It was Davian.Of course, it was.A quiet sigh slipped past my lips, irritation bubbling up almost instantly. What does he want again?At this point, anyone related to the Stone family felt like nothing but trouble, endless, unavoidable trouble. And Davian was no exception.I couldn’t help it, as my eyes rolled on their own.“Melissa, baby,” Davian called again, his voice smoother this time, almost coaxing as he closed the distance between us.Before I could react, before I could even step back, his hands were already on me, sliding around my w

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    106. He did regret.

    MELISSA.“Why are you sorry?” I asked, the words slipping out before I could stop them, my voice edged with confusion. His apology had caught me completely off guard, leaving me momentarily unbalanced, unsure of how to process it. My brows furrowed slightly as my thoughts began to race.Did he not enjoy kissing me?Or… was it just a moment of impulse for him? Something he acted on without thinking—only to regret it the very next second?The thought stung more than I expected.“Asshole,” I muttered under my breath, the word barely audible, yet heavy with the frustration building inside me.Almost instantly, a dull ache spread across my chest, slow and suffocating, like something was tearing me apart from the inside. It wasn’t sharp or loud, it was worse than that. Quiet. Persistent. Lingering in a way that made it impossible to ignore.“I—I… You were crying, Melissa!” he said, his voice uneven, as if he was struggling to keep up with everything happening between us. He paused, draggin

    Melissa.The moment I stepped into the hall, the atmosphere shifted.I could feel it instantly.Dozens—no, hundreds—of eyes turned in my direction the second I crossed the doorway. Conversations that had been flowing freely moments ago slowed, then faded into curious murmurs as people openly stared

    Cain.The crack of the final lash still echoed in my ears as I stepped down from the podium.It rang sharp and clean, like wood splitting beneath a blade. The sound refused to fade, rebounding against the walls of my skull, threading itself through the steady rhythm of my heartbeat.“Punishment com
