Mag-log inLouis.I was right about one thing—the moment Melissa found out the triplets were staying here for longer, she completely lost it.And honestly, I couldn’t even blame her.The look on her face earlier had said everything—the shocj, frustration and desperation.She hadn’t even bothered replying to me before turning away and walking off quickly, leaving me standing there feeling completely helpless. And I had no choice but to return to my room.I ran a hand roughly through my hair before sitting down heavily on the bed.The room suddenly felt unusually quiet.“What do we do now?” I asked my wolf internally, hoping for some sort of suggestion.Anything, because at this point, my thoughts were completely muddled, and nothing made sense anymore.My wolf on the other hand remained silent, and somehow, that silence unsettled me more than anything else.He was conflicted too, I could feel it clearly—the possessiveness, the fear and the sudden appearance of our fated mate.It was all becoming
Ann.Everything felt overwhelming at the moment.The emotions crashing inside me were already too much to handle, and the dull ache spreading painfully across my chest only made things worse.It felt suffocating, more like something heavy had settled inside me, refusing to let me breathe properly.And honestly, what annoyed me the most was the fact that Davian probably still thought I would stay back to play with him after everything that happened.Play?I almost laughed bitterly at the thought.I didn’t want to play with Davian, not anymore, I wanted to…“Arrrrrrgggghhh!”I screamed loudly inside my head in frustration, trying desperately to stop my thoughts from spiraling further.Because the truth was painfully simple, and I really did not want to see Davian anymore.Not after the way he had acted so carelessly with my feelings.He could go to hell for all I cared.Right now, all I wanted was to lock myself inside my room and cry until my chest stopped hurting this badly.I tighten
Cypril.Caleb was definitely stupid.Because it was painfully obvious that even he did not truly want to reject Melissa yet somehow, he always spoke before thinking.Always acting impulsively without considering the consequences of his actions.“Rejecting her is only giving her the luxury of whoring around, Caleb!” Cain snapped instantly.The irritation in his voice was impossible to miss and honestly, I knew that anger wasn’t directed only at Melissa, most of it was for Caleb because right now, he was making an already terrible situation even worse.But Caleb only scoffed proudly.“Then let us give her the freedom to officially earn the label of a whore,” he said coldly, his lips curling into a smug smile as he folded his arms against his chest.“Once she becomes a REJECT,” he continued, “let’s see who dares to accept her as a mate.”I immediately rolled my eyes internally at how unbelievably dumb he sounded.Did he seriously think no one would want Melissa?Was he blind?Completely
Cypril.I honestly could not understand what exactly had gone wrong.The moment Melissa started the rejection earlier, panic had completely taken over me. After everything I had done to avoid this exact moment, it still happened anyway.And honestly…I was annoyed at Caleb’s stupidity.Couldn’t he ever act on his own for once?Why did he always have to involve all of us in everything?If he had simply kept quiet, none of this would have escalated to this point.Yet despite the chaos surrounding us now, one thing still brought me relief.The rejection hadn’t gone through.Thank the Moon Goddess.And strangely, the only question echoing repeatedly inside my head was…Why?Because the moment Melissa started speaking earlier, I had already prepared myself mentally to reject her rejection immediately.I was ready and yet somehow…nothing happened.“What did you do?” Melissa suddenly demanded, her voice sharp with fury as she stared directly at us.I quickly masked my confusion behind a smug
Caleb.My heart was beating far too fast.The moment my brothers arrived and stood before me, fuming furiously, reality hit me all at once.What the hell had I just done?I swallowed hard as Cain and Cypril glared at me with expressions so dark it made tension crawl down my spine instantly.Even the air around us suddenly felt heavy.My palms became sweaty despite how cold the evening breeze was. The chill in the environment should have cooled me down, yet my body only grew warmer with panic.Because for the first time, I was afraid. Afraid that I was really going to lose my mate this time, all because of my foolish ego.Shit.I had only been trying to spite her, trying to prove a point, trying to show Melissa that she couldn’t simply throw us away like we meant nothing.I wanted to watch her beg, and tell me she was just bluffing.But now?It wasn't what I expected because now everything felt dangerously out of control.My gaze shifted toward Amelia instantly, and honestly, it took e
Melissa.Honestly, I couldn’t help but lie through my teeth.At that moment, I was utterly disappointed by Amelia’s response.All that fake concern in her eyes, that soft voice pretending she cared about my wellbeing, it irritated me more than anything else.She could keep it to herself.I wasn’t interested.“Don’t keep me waiting, Mr. Stone,” I said firmly before glancing briefly at Caleb and then at Amelia. “We’ll be waiting for you at the garden.”My tone carried finality as though the discussion was already over. I was ready to turn around and leave them there but then…Amelia’s eyes suddenly lit up with joy.The reaction was brief, but I caught it instantly and it made my stomach twist in irritation.‘Hypocrite,’ I muttered bitterly under my breath.Of course she would be happy.If the bond broke, she would finally have them completely to herself without my existence becoming an inconvenience anymore.The thought alone made me scoff internally.I had barely taken two steps forward
Melissa.The sharp crack split the air the moment I stepped into the perimeter of the dungeon, and I knew that sound too well. It was the unmistakable snap of a whip slicing through space before meeting flesh. My breath hitched instantly, my feet slowing on instinct as dread crawled up my spine.I
MELISSA.I kept running, my feet pounding hard against the cold stone floor as I forced myself not to look back. Looking back meant hesitation, and hesitation could cost me everything. My hands shook as I pulled the black scarf tighter around my head, wrapping it securely, hiding my face as best as
Melissa. The window was finally pulled open with a sharp, splintering crack, the sound slicing through the thick silence of the room. I heard it clearly, felt it, even, but I kept my eyes shut, lashes pressed tightly together as if that alone could make whatever was happening disappear.Instinct s
CYPRIL.I pushed the door open without hesitation, the hinges creaking softly as the room came into view. The first thing I saw was Melissa.She lay weakly on the bed, her body unnaturally still, chains wrapped tightly around her wrists and fastened to the bedframe. Her face looked pale, almost lif
