Melissa.

I sat quietly in the room, my thoughts a tangled mess of anger, hurt, and frustration.

The event that had just happened kept replaying in my mind over and over again.

They had already chosen someone else over me.

Why do they keep acting like that?

I clenched my hands tightly on my lap.

Beside me, Ann gently patted my back.

The gesture was comforting.

At least, it was supposed to be.

"It's alright, Melissa," she said softly, her voice calm and reassuring. "I'm glad you aren't going bac

    Cypril.I sat lazily on the edge of my bed, staring blindly at the cold stone floor of Cain’s quarters.My head throbbed with a dull, persistent ache, but my mind was stuck in a loop, replaying every single detail of what I had witnessed in Louis’s study last night.I remembered the scene vividly. Louis, standing tall with his hands resting possessively on that female’s shoulders—Maddy—and the way she stood her ground, bold, unbothered, and completely comfortable in his space despite his roaring Alpha aura. They looked like two people wrapped up in their own private, chaotic world.When Louis had turned his sharp, untrusting glare onto me and demanded to know why the hell I was lurking outside his door, I hadn't pushed the issue. I had kept my mouth shut, swallowed my bruised pride, and lied straight to his face, telling him I was just walking past on my way back to my room.Before stepping into that study, my mind had been completely made up. I had been ready to crawl to Louis, hand

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    211. I will be.

    Ann.I woke up to a room bathed in bright, unforgiving morning light.The bed beside me was empty. Melissa had obviously slipped out quietly while I was still asleep, likely heading back to the medical wing to check on Bella. I sat up slowly, my head throbbing with a dull ache from hours of crying, my throat feeling dry as sandpaper.I looked down at my wrinkled dress, then at the spot on the rug near my wardrobe where Davian had pinned me down. The humiliation, the heartbreak, and the lingering taste of his forbidden kiss flared up in my chest all over again.But I didn't cry. The tears were gone, drained out of me completely during the night. In their place was a cold, iron-clad resolve.I stood up, stripped off the wrinkled clothes, washed my face with ice-cold water, and pulled on a fresh tunic. I smoothed down my hair, steeled my heart, and walked straight out of my bedroom.I wasn't going to sit in my room acting like a fragile victim waiting for him to barge in again. I wasn't

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    210. ... pretty bad!

    MELISSA. The soft morning light filtered through the thin curtains of Ann’s room, casting a warm, golden glow across the floor.I blinked my eyes open slowly, my muscles feeling stiff from sleeping hunched over in the heavy armchair beside the bed. My glance immediately shifted to Ann. She was curled up on her side, buried deep under the blankets, breathing in slow, heavy rhythms. The chaotic storm of heartbreak and tears from earlier had finally given way to a deep, peaceful sleep.I didn't want to disturb her. After everything she’d endured with Davian down the hall, she needed every second of rest she could get.Carefully, I slipped my feet to the floor, holding my breath as I stood up so the chair wouldn't squeak. I tiptoed across the rug, gently adjusting the blanket around Ann's shoulders before making my way to the door. I turned the brass latch with utmost care, slipped out into the quiet corridor, and closed the door behind me without making a sound.The heavy stone hallway

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    209. A second chance with...

    Caleb.My heart slammed against my ribs as I spun around, my mouth snapping tight.Cain was marching down the stone corridor toward us, his broad shoulders squared and his face set in a dark, dangerous scowl. Even hollowed out by our defeat, Cain still moved with that rigid, commanding presence. And I knew, better than anyone, where he stood on the pack seal.Cain would burn this entire Pack to the ground before he ever let anyone touch that token. To him, the seal was sacred—an ancient, untouchable boundary. If he found out for a single second that Leonard was whispering in my ear about handing it over, he’d rip Leonard apart with his bare hands and lock me in the dungeon himself.Panic surged through my veins, hot and frantic. I had to cover this up right now."Cain," I said quickly, my voice higher and tighter than I wanted it to be. I took a step away from Leonard, trying to make the space between us look completely casual. "What are you doing out here?"Cain didn't answer right a

    Caleb."No," I muttered, shaking my head violently, my hands pressing harder against my temples. "No, I'm not crazy. I know what I saw." I paused. "He was either the one hiding something, not me hallucinating." I thought inwardly."Caleb, you need to lie down," Leonard said, his voice soft, almost patronizingly gentle, as he took another small step toward me. "You’ve been through hell the last two days, and I am sure your mind is playing tricks on you.""Shut up for a second!" I barked, shoving past him.Refusing to believe that my own mind was betraying me, I began checking every single corner of the hallway. I rushed over to the heavy velvet draperies hanging near the courtyard arches, yanking them aside so violently the metal rings shrieked against the rods. Nothing. Just bare stone and dust motes floating in the faint morning light.I bolted toward the courtyard door, throwing my weight against the heavy iron latch. It groaned, locked solid from the inside. I bent down, staring fr

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    207. Think Black Hood...

    CalebThe suffocating quiet in Cain’s room was driving me out of my mind.I couldn't sit there anymore. I couldn't stare at the floorboards, listening to my own ragged breathing, while the crippling weight of guilt crushed my chest into dust. Every single time I closed my eyes, all I saw was Melissa—the sheer, unadulterated terror in her eyes, the tears streaming down her pale cheeks, the way her hands had trembled every time one of us stepped into her space.We had broken her, and we had terrorized her, treated her like trash, and dragged her through absolute hell under the pathetic guise of our supreme Alpha authority.And now, as the dust finally settled and the nightmare of the truth came crashing down, the guilt was eating me alive from the inside out. I was restless. My skin felt like it was on fire, every nerve ending screaming at me to do something, anything, to make it right.I didn't care about our pride, I didn't care about the pack leadership or our disgraced name.
