MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL. 202. Why did I... ?
Davian.The sudden impact of the floor against my knees barely registered. All I could feel was the soft, desperate press of Ann’s lips against mine, her warm breath mingling with the frantic, ragged air in my lungs.I should have moved. Every instinct of a noble Alpha screamed at me to spring back, to pull away instantly, to apologize for losing my footing and tearing down her boundaries yet again.But I couldn't. I was completely paralyzed.My arms remained locked on either side of her head, bracing my weight, but my gaze was trapped, anchored entirely to her face. Her dark eyes were wide, glittering with a dangerous mix of shock, hurt, and raw vulnerability. Our mouths were still touching—a fierce, accidental collision that should have felt wrong, that should have made me retreat in horror.Instead, it felt forbidden in a way that made my blood run hot. The soft, undeniable warmth of her lips sent a sharp, electric jolt straight down my spine. My heart thudded violently against my
MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL. 201. Resolve.
Ann.I stood in the doorway of my room, staring at Davian as his desperate, rambling words spilled into the quiet hall.He looked at me with those wide, earnest eyes, pleading with me like a man who genuinely thought he’d just cracked the code to my anger. ‘If you want to play around... if you want to joke... I’ll play along.’A cold, heavy wave of disgust settled right in the pit of my stomach.I felt sick. I felt sick, bitter, and utterly exhausted. Just minutes ago, sitting on the floor of my dark room, I had wept for him. I had felt a agonizing pang of regret for the way I shouted at him, for the pale, heartbroken shock that had washed over his face when I told him to stay out of my affairs. I had worried that I’d cut him too deep, that I’d been cruel to a male who was only trying to be good to me.And yet, here he stood.He still didn't get it. He didn't get it at all.In his head, my anger wasn't about my self-respect or the unbearable sting of his mixed signals. It was just a g
MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL. 200. Don't be mad at me!
Davian.The heavy wooden door of my room slammed shut behind me, but it did nothing to drown out the roaring silence in my head.I stood in the near darkness, my chest heaving as if I’d just run miles through dense forest. My knuckles were bruised, bleeding slightly where I’d cracked Frederick across the mouth, but I couldn't feel the physical sting. All I could feel was that terrible, sharp hollow in my ribs where Ann’s words had sliced right through me.‘Stay out of my affairs.’I dragged a hand down my face, pacing back and forth across the cold stone floor like a caged animal. My face was still pale, my heart hammering against my ribs in a frantic, erratic rhythm. I couldn't wrap my head around it. Why had she looked at me like that? Why had her voice been so full of venom and disgust?I was a visiting Alpha, that I know, but I am her brother Louis’s best friend. I’d come to this pack to help stand by Louis and keep order in the middle of all this chaos. So when I saw Frederick

Ann.The cool night air hit my face as I steered Frederick toward the small bench near the corner alcove. He was leaning heavily against my shoulder, groaning softly as he dabbed a handkerchief against his bloody nose and swollen lip."Thank you, Ann," Frederick mumbled, his voice raspy and slurred behind the cloth. He looked up at me through swollen, tear-filled eyes, a small, pathetic smile touching his mouth. "Thank you... for choosing me back there, and for standing up to him."I stopped dead in my tracks, pulling my arm away from his side so quickly he almost wobbled. I looked down at him, my brow furrowing into a tight, irritated line."I didn't do it for you, Frederick," I said flatly, my tone dropping into a cold, uncompromising wall. "And I certainly didn't choose you."Frederick blinked, his hand freezing on his bloody handkerchief. "What? But... you defended me against Davian, I mean you told him to leave us alone.""I told him to stay out of my affairs," I corrected sharpl

Davian.The heavy exhaustion of the night was finally catching up to my muscles as I stepped away from the medical wing. I had left Louis to stand guard outside Bella’s door, I headed down the quiet, dimly lit corridor toward my own quarters, needing nothing more than a few hours of shut-eye before the sun fully rose.My mind was still spinning with everything that had unfolded. The sight of Gamma Donald holding his daughter’s hand, the look of utter relief on Melissa’s face, and the lingering shadow of the triplets lurking in the background had kept my nerves on edge for hours.I turned the corner into the east wing, my boots slapping quietly against the stone floor, when two figures standing near the alcove brought me to a dead stop.It was Ann.A quiet knot in my chest loosened for a fraction of a second at the sight of her, but as my eyes adjusted to the dim light, my gaze shifted to the male standing uncomfortably close to her.Frederick.The moment I recognized his face, an exp
MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL. 197. Mark me!
Louis.The paperwork scattered across my dark mahogany desk might as well have been written in a dead language.I leaned back in my heavy leather chair, rubbing the bridge of my nose as the silence of my study pressed in on me. The hour was late, the rest of the pack draped in heavy shadows, but sleep was the last thing on my mind. Every time I closed my eyes, my thoughts drifted right back down the stone corridors to the medical wing.To Melissa.I knew she was exhausted. I had seen the bone-deep weariness etched into her face, the quiet tension held tight in her shoulders as she tended to Bella and sat beside Gamma Donald. But I also knew her mind was spinning too fast for peace. After everything she had endured—the years of abuse, the grief, the sudden shock of Bella’s return—there was no way she was getting a sound sleep tonight. Every small creak in the floorboards would probably make her jump. Every shadow would feel like a threat.I let out a low, frustrated breath, tapping my
