~CASSIAN

All of the amusement that once drummed through my body was instantly shut down as my eyes fixed on that one door.

It was funny how I had kept it for so long. Yet no one knew about it. Not even my very own brothers.

—Even if I never put too much work into keeping it hidden. I chose the most oblivious of places, yet no one knew.

The only one who had come close enough to find out about it was Nyra.

“That little spitfire,” I whispered, a small, sad smile playing on my face.

Somehow, her presence had actually created a sort of balance between all of us that I had not noticed until now.

Rylan was suddenly able to stand up to Sylver’s bullying and she—well, she clawed out Sylver’s beast and still managed to slap him without dying in the process.

She was truly our mate. Small meaningless human or not, she was special, and her presence was doing good.

But, I still had business with my prisoner. Just as I had noticed the good Nyra’s presence was doing, I also noticed the small little t

  • MY TRIPLET HYBRID STEPBROTHERS WANT ME   111. THE ANCHOR OR THE BEAST

    ~ NYRACassian held me like I was something precious. Like I wasn’t this monster I feared I’d become.His arms were strong and warm, and the longer he held me, the less I trembled. My tears still fell, thick and fast, but inside, something fragile and exhausted began to settle. My shoulders felt lighter, like a heavy burden had been lifted off them.How was it possible to feel so loved and so terrified all at once?“I’m sorry,” I whispered into his chest. “I didn’t want to be like this. I didn’t ask for any of this.” My cheeks were flushed. Shame curled around my words like thorns.His arms only tightened around me. “I know,” he said, his voice barely above a breath. “But that doesn’t change what you are to me.” Cassian’s voice was low and reassuring. “I know it’s still you inside. Still Nyra.”A sob shook my chest. I didn’t know how to thank him, how to make him understand that his words were saving me piece by piece. I wrapped my arms around him and sobbed harder into his chest. The

    ~CASSIANDinner was unusually quiet.Forks scraped softly against porcelain, water glasses clinked with a delicacy that made the silence even heavier, and the tension at the table sat like a fog I couldn’t brush off.I glanced around. Everyone was here—everyone except peace.Lyora sat directly across from me. Her hair was pinned up neatly as always, her movements graceful but restrained. She looked like a portrait of composure, but her eyes—those eyes told a different story. They always did. Even when she smiled, guilt clung to her like perfume she couldn’t wash off.She wouldn’t meet my eyes. Not even once. I passed her a plate of food after taking my share.“Thank you.” She received it. Her voice was strained, confirming my suspicion. Something was happening.Her right index finger trembled on the fork.Her gaze flickered between her plate and Nyra—careful, guarded, as if she were waiting for something to go wrong. Again.I was still watching her when I felt a sudden sting in my che

  • MY TRIPLET HYBRID STEPBROTHERS WANT ME   109. THE MONSTER WITHIN

    ~NYRAMy eyes flew open with a gasp.Sweat clung to my skin like a second layer, and my lungs felt like they had been scorched from the inside out. My heart pounded wildly in my chest, the rapid beats echoing like war drums inside my ears.For a moment, I couldn’t remember where I was. The dream, the whispering voices, the blood… Rylan—My body jolted upright.Had I hurt him? The faint taste of blood lingered on my tongue, indicating it had happened.Oh gods, please, no.My hands trembled as I looked down at myself. I was still dressed, but my lips were swollen and tingling. My heart sank lower. That couldn’t be a good sign. I remembered kissing him, remembered fangs… remembered the taste of his skin.“No… no, no,” I breathed, clutching the sheets like they were my last tether to reality.I turned in panic, eyes scanning the dim room—and there he was.Rylan.Lying beside me, shirtless, with the softest smile painted on his face like moonlight had touched his soul. One of his hands rea

  • MY TRIPLET HYBRID STEPBROTHERS WANT ME   108. VISITED BY DARKNESS

    ~RYLANAs I returned to my room, I couldn’t sleep.It felt like a veil was over my head—suffocating and slowly stifling any hope of rest. And surely, there was a veil.Not a physical one, but a veil of thoughts—dark, overwhelming, and relentless—that I couldn’t stop turning over in my head.I couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened during the day. Or more precisely, what had almost happened to Nyra.She could have been gone forever.She could’ve disappeared from my life completely, stolen by that bastard, Lyon, and I would never have been able to find her.I would have never seen her again. Never held her again. Her sweet familiar scent—which always calmed the storm inside me—would have been gone forever.“I can’t let that happen,” I growled to myself. Just the thought of losing her…The image of her being dragged into darkness, beyond my reach, made my rage spike like a flare bursting through my veins.Lyon had done this before. He wouldn’t stop. Not on his own, at least.He h

  • MY TRIPLET HYBRID STEPBROTHERS WANT ME   107. THE CRIMSON DREAM

    ~ Nyra “You look so beautiful when you smile like that,” Rylan whispered as he slowly pulled away from me. His eyes sparkled with emotions so thick, I felt the jolt deep within me. It felt like something warm, something a little too intimate—something I wasn’t ready to name. “I don’t know what I’ll do without you,” he continued. His voice had this quiet drawl, so laced with affection that it settled around my heart like a blanket I didn’t know I needed. I blinked slowly, processing him. I wanted to take in his nearness—the heat of his skin still lingering on mine—and the sexy way he gazed at me. “Have I shown you the second stanza of my poems?” he asked suddenly, a lightness breaking the intensity as he stood from the bed. His footsteps were soft against the floorboards, but I could still feel the space he left behind. I blinked again, my lips parting slightly. “Second stanza?” He walked over to the side table and pulled out his diary, the worn leather cover bending beneath h

    ~ DANIELLEMy vision was completely red as I glared at Lyora.There was something dark hovering around her. I couldn’t see it, but I could sense it.It was a dangerous form of darkness that shouldn’t be in the possession of a human… but that was if she was even human to begin with.Yet even as I glared at her, another thing didn’t make sense—how was I able to detect this energy in the first place?“Lyora,” I called calmly as she turned to face me.She visibly jumped, but before I could make out her expression, she composed herself and laughed nervously.“Danielle, you scared me. What are you doing here?” she asked, holding her heart.But the sound of her voice and the glint of tears in her eyes were too different to be true.“Why would I scare you?” I whispered, still glaring at her.The dark energy around her grew even stronger, gaining my full attention.“Is there something you’re doing that I should know about?” I added.But her nervous laughter echoed again. “No, of course not.
