Cain.

The crack of the final lash still echoed in my ears as I stepped down from the podium.

It rang sharp and clean, like wood splitting beneath a blade. The sound refused to fade, rebounding against the walls of my skull, threading itself through the steady rhythm of my heartbeat.

“Punishment complete.”

The elder’s voice had carried across the trial ground without strain, calm, resolute, unquestionable. The crowd had gone still at once. No murmurs. No protests. Only the heavy silence that fol

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    102: MATE!

    Fredrick.I had only stepped out for a moment.Just briefly, long enough to get something Amelia and I could eat. It wasn’t meant to take time. I had even quickened my pace on the way, mindful of how particular she could be with her meals.Amelia didn’t like cold food.Not even slightly.And my parents had made it clear, more than once, that I was to take proper care of her. Their words still lingered in my mind as I made my way back, firm and expectant.So I didn’t delay.But the moment I got to the room and pushed the door open…She wasn’t there.I paused, my grip tightening slightly on the tray in my hand as my gaze swept across the space.Empty.Completely empty.A small frown formed on my face as realization settled in almost instantly.There was only one place she could be.The triplets’ room.Of course.I let out a quiet breath and turned immediately, my steps quickening without hesitation. If she was there, then I needed to get to her quickly, before the food got cold, before sh

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    TASTE.

    Cain.I stood there, unmoving, as everything unfolded right before my eyes.It all happened so fast.One moment, we had all stood here, taking to Melissa, before she was taken away by Louis and the next… it had turned into chaos, with Caleb's and Davian's fists flying.A heavy breath slipped past my lips as I watched the scene, a strange unease settling deep in my chest.Things were slipping.And for the first time, I couldn’t shake the feeling that whatever had been broken between us… might never be fixed again.Most especially with Melissa, I could feel the defiance emanating from her. It burned through her like wildfire, unrestrained, unapologetic. There was no hesitation in her anymore, no fear, no submission.Just anger and I really couldn’t understand it. My brows furrowed slightly as my thoughts spiraled.Why was she this mad at us?We only punished her back then.That was all it was supposed to be, a punishment. A correction. Something temporary.So why…Why did she look at us

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    100. Say that again!

    Caleb.The metallic taste hit my tongue before I even realized what had happened. It was thick, warm and bitter.I spat it out instantly, watching as droplets of blood stained the ground beneath me, dark and accusing. My jaw tightened, a dull throb pulsing along my cheek where her hand had landed moments ago.Damn it.I dragged the back of my hand across my lips, wiping away the remaining trace, but the sting refused to fade. It lingered, not just on my skin, but somewhere deeper.My chest.My pride.“What a bratty bitch…” I muttered under my breath, the words slipping out harshly, laced with frustration more than anything else.But even as I said it, something twisted uncomfortably inside me. Because that slap…It wasn’t just anger, it wasn’t just defiance.It was everything she had been holding back for five years and I had felt every bit of it.My fingers curled slowly into fists at my sides as my mind betrayed me, replaying the scene over and over again. Her standing there, unshake

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    99. Don't you dare?

    MELISSA.“And what does it look like I am doing?” I shot back, my voice edged with defiance as I turned to face him fully. My expression hardened, every trace of hesitation gone. “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that, Caleb?” I continued, my brows knitting together as anger flickered across my face. “How dare you barge into my room?”The words came out faster now, fueled by the frustration tightening in my chest. This wasn’t just about the interruption, it was the audacity of it. The entitlement.“Come on, spare me that!” Caleb snapped, his tone rising as he took a step closer, his presence imposing, suffocating. His eyes burned with something fierce, anger, disbelief, maybe even something darker. “You are still my wife,” he added, each word deliberate, almost accusing. "How can you go about kissing another man… and not just any man, but my cousin?”His words hit the air like a challenge, like a claim he still believed he had the right to make.I let out a quiet, humorless scoff.“M

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    98. Does She...?

    Melissa.I had barely gotten to my room when I saw Davian and Ann running toward me like children, their footsteps echoing lightly against the floor as if nothing else in the world mattered at that moment. There was something so carefree, so unguarded in the way they moved, that it caught me off guard.A small smile tugged at my lips before I could stop it.For a brief second, I allowed myself to feel it, the warmth, the familiarity, the strange comfort of not being alone. But just as quickly, reality settled back in. My body felt heavy, my mind even heavier. I needed rest. I needed silence. I needed to prepare for everything the day might bring.Hopefully, the triplets would be gone for good by noon.“Melissa, come save me!” Davian yelled, his voice bright and full of energy as he rushed toward me.“Don’t, Melissa….you aren’t going to choose him over me, are you?” Ann added quickly, her tone carrying a playful edge, though there was something beneath it, something sharper, harder to

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    97. Just ask.

    Cypril.Melissa was a totally changed person. She had always craved my touch and melted into my embrace, and now she wouldn't even let me kiss her.I stood there, frozen and stunned. I was unable to move as I watched her walk away from me like it was the easiest thing in the world.My chest felt… tight, it was not a sharp pain, neither was it something I could easily name or understand.Just this heavy, suffocating pressure, sitting right where my wolf used to be, gone and empty.And somehow… she made me feel that loss even more.My fingers curled slowly into fists at my sides, the tension building without release as my eyes remained fixed on her retreating figure.Step by step, she moved farther away.Each one widening the distance between us, her pace was steady and unhurried. Her back straight, her shoulders squared like nothing could bend her anymore.And just like that… she felt completely out of my reach.“Melissa…” The name slipped past my lips before I could stop it, soft, poi

    Melissa.The moment I stepped into the hall, the atmosphere shifted.I could feel it instantly.Dozens—no, hundreds—of eyes turned in my direction the second I crossed the doorway. Conversations that had been flowing freely moments ago slowed, then faded into curious murmurs as people openly stared

    Louis.I had paced the length of the room so many times that the polished floor beneath my boots might as well have been worn thin.Back and forth.Back and forth.Restless energy coiled tightly in my chest, refusing to let me sit still for even a moment. Every few seconds my gaze drifted toward th
