LOGINMelissa.The fact that Louis stood up for me even in his weak state made me feel even more indebted to him.He was barely strong enough to stand properly, yet he still placed himself in front of me without hesitation, as though protecting me was more important than his own condition.That alone stirred something deep inside my chest—Gratitude, guilt and warmth.Everything mixed together so intensely that I could barely sort through my emotions anymore.I was more than grateful to Louis.In fact, a part of me wished I could stay by his side and take care of him for the rest of my life, just to repay even a fraction of everything he had done for me.But reality wasn’t that simple.Louis already had a mate.That fact alone forced me to bury whatever dangerous thoughts tried creeping into my mind.I couldn’t be selfish.I couldn’t think only about my own feelings while ignoring the existence of the woman fate had already chosen for him.No matter how much comfort I found in his presence,
Cypril.“Don’t you dare kiss her!” Louis declared sharply, his voice cutting through the tense air like a blade.He stood over me with a fierce glare, his chest rising and falling heavily as he stared down at me. I was already on the ground from his earlier push, the impact still ringing through my body. What looked like a light shove on the surface had actually carried enough force to send me crashing down, leaving a dull pain spreading through my back and side.I slowly lifted my head, refusing to show weakness despite the position I was in.“And why shouldn’t I?” I shot back immediately, my tone filled with defiance. “She is my wife, asshole!”I didn’t care who he was anymore. Lycan prince or not, I was not going to let anyone stand between me and Melissa.The next second, Louis moved.He rushed toward me without hesitation, grabbed me roughly by the collar, and yanked me up before driving a punch straight into my face.The impact was brutal.Even though he still looked half-awake
Cypril.I kept walking, trying to ignore the strange feeling creeping slowly through my body, but then suddenly…an uneasy sensation settled heavily inside my chest.My steps slowed immediately.A deep pain spread through me without warning, sharp enough to make my breathing stagger for a second.It wasn’t the kind of pain caused by a wound—No, it felt worse and more suffocating, almost like the air around me had suddenly become too thin for my lungs.I pressed a hand against my chest instinctively as my brows furrowed deeply.What the hell was happening to me?I tried to steady my breathing, but the discomfort only worsened.And then it hit me—I didn’t have my wolf anymore.The realization alone made my jaw tighten bitterly.Without my wolf, even the slightest pain now felt amplified, raw and unfiltered.An Alpha wolf had always been stronger than ordinary wolves, powerful enough to suppress pain naturally without even realizing it.But now?Now I felt everything–every ache, every emo
Melissa.Regardless of the dull ache sitting heavily inside my chest, I still couldn’t bring myself to walk away.Louis clearly needed help.And no matter how confused or hurt I currently felt…I couldn’t ignore that.Five years ago, when everyone else either mocked me or treated me like I was nothing, Louis had been the one person who rescued and stood beside me.He had protected me and saved me from going through even worse pain after the triplets stripped me of my title and isolated me.So how could I possibly turn a blind eye now simply because his mate had appeared?No.Regardless of whether Maddy was his mate or not…I needed to help him.I closed my eyes briefly, fighting the countless thoughts battling inside my head before finally turning back toward them.The moment I did, Maddy’s expression darkened instantly.And immediately…I knew I had been right all along.Something was definitely wrong here.Louis was still breathing unevenly beside her, his gaze restless as if he was se
Melissa.I was still furious about everything that had happened earlier.The failed rejection, the triplets, Amelia and even Davian’s annoying face somehow kept appearing in my head and irritating me further.Everything felt overwhelming.And honestly, there was only one person I wanted to see right now.Louis.For some reason, being around him always made things feel less chaotic.Even if only for a little while.But then again…a certain woman suddenly crossed my mind—Maddy.I frowned instantly.After what I had seen earlier in the study, I wasn’t exactly eager to walk into another awkward scene involving both of them.Not that I was jealous, absolutely not. I was just…uncomfortable.Yes.That was the right word.I took a deep breath before heading toward Louis’ study first, but the moment I got there, the room was empty.“He’s not here?” I muttered quietly.For a moment, I hesitated, maybe I should just return to my room instead but somehow, my legs still carried me toward Louis’ ch
Amelia.Melissa was a snake, at least that was exactly how I saw her now. Every single thing she did earlier had been carefully calculate—the words, the reactions and every expression on her face.She had provoked me on purpose, and I knew it.Her entire goal had been to make me appear like the villain before the triplets while she acted like the victim.But unfortunately for her….I wasn’t stupid.And I definitely wasn’t going to fall into her trap so easily.In fact, I had every intention of twisting the situation around completely and making the triplets reject her themselves while I remained the caring and concerned one beside them.Honestly, I had almost succeeded.The thought alone made excitement crawl through me.Who would have imagined Melissa already knew the rejection wouldn’t work?She had merely been seeking attention all along, trying to shake their emotions, trying to make them panic and trying to make them realize they still wanted her.And for a moment, it had actuall
Caleb.“What the fuck did you just do?” My voice tore out of my throat, raw and vicious, louder than I intended.Amelia flinched like I'd slapped her, but I didn’t care, not in that instant, not when rage pulsed through me like wildfire.Without thinking, I grabbed her by the hair and yanked her cl
CAIN.I let out a low, frustrated hiss under my breath the moment the knock echoed from the door, sharp, ill-timed, and irritating as hell. Of all the moments someone could interrupt, it had to be now, right when the air between us thickened and my control trembled dangerously close to snapping.Fo
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 ha
Melissa.My legs weakened in defeat as he claimed my lips, his mouth pressing against mine with a bruising hunger that felt like punishment rather than desire. Every ounce of that kiss carried frustration, rage, and ownership. It flooded my senses, smothering what little strength I had left. My arm
