Ann.

Davian’s grip on my waist was ironclad, his fingers digging into my hip through the thin fabric of my dress like he was trying to leave a permanent mark. He didn't move an inch, his broad chest pressed right up against mine, his dark eyes flashing with a terrifying mix of wounded Alpha pride and dark possessiveness.

"Take it back, Ann," he repeated, his voice dropping into a low, dangerous rumble that vibrated straight through my ribs. "Take those words back right now."

I gritted my teeth,

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    204. Pathetic Apologies.

    Ann.Davian’s grip on my waist was ironclad, his fingers digging into my hip through the thin fabric of my dress like he was trying to leave a permanent mark. He didn't move an inch, his broad chest pressed right up against mine, his dark eyes flashing with a terrifying mix of wounded Alpha pride and dark possessiveness."Take it back, Ann," he repeated, his voice dropping into a low, dangerous rumble that vibrated straight through my ribs. "Take those words back right now."I gritted my teeth, ignoring the painful, chaotic thudding of my heart. I glared directly into his eyes, refusing to give him the satisfaction of seeing me flinch. "I'm not taking anything back, Davian. You're an arrogant, self-centered bastard, and I meant every single word.""Ann—" he growled, his hand tightening even further, pulling me so close there wasn't a breath of space left between us.Before he could say another word, the heavy brass latch on my bedroom door clicked.The door swung open without warning.

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    203. Hormones.

    Ann.I sat there on the cold wooden floor, my lungs burning as I fought to catch my breath.My heart was still pounding a wild, frantic rhythm against my ribs, but the lingering heat of the kiss vanished in an instant. All it took was one look at Davian.He was cowering against the wardrobe, looking at me with a face pale with sheer terror, his hands trembling as he wiped his mouth as if he had just swallowed poison. He looked horrified. He looked like a man who had just committed an unforgivable crime, staring at me not with passion or affection, but with absolute regret and chaotic panic.The harsh, cold reality slammed into me like a bucket of freezing water.A wave of pure humiliation burned through my veins, turning every ounce of fragile hope I had felt a second ago into bitter, toxic ash. I scrambled backward, using my heels to shove myself as far away from him as possible until my back hit the foot of my bed."Get away from me!" I spat, my voice shaking with raw, violent fury

  • 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

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    199. Mixed signals.

    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
