The next day, Alpha Dominic and the Luna called Alpha Damon, Damian and Kyle and me to have a conversation with us.

"After much deliberation, I have decided that Alpha Kyle cannot claim Lyra because she already has being mated to Damon and Damian." Alpha Dominic said.

"Unbelievable! They already rejected her because she is a weak Omega, why can't I take her since I already accepted her! This is partiality!" Kyle thundered.

"We met her before you and even if we rejected her, she is still our pack member and we decide if she goes with you or not." Alpha Damon said.

"Enough, since neither of you want to let her go, why don't we ask her to choose." The Luna said.

"Fine!" They all agreed and all eyes turned to me.

I wished the ground could open and swallow me, I was not used to such scrutiny.

"Lyra, tell us, who do you choose as your mate among the three of them?" Alpha Dominic asked.

I was confused as I did not know what to choose. Damien and Damon had already rejected me so they were out of the question, and as for Kyle, though he seemed nice, I didn't know him well enough to trust him and after what the twin Alphas had done to me, I was yet to heal.

"Are we going to use the whole day to wait for you? Speak now!" Alpha Dominic thundered.

"I..I... I... don't want any of them." I said in shaky voice.

I could see the look of disbelief on the faces of the twin Alphas and the look of hurt on Kyle's face.

I knew he was hurt but I was on no shape to be anyone's mate.

"Alright, Lyra has decided, so Alpha Kyle, you are not going with her and as to if she would be with my sons, that decision is mine to make." Alpha Dominic said.

Kyle flared up in anger.

"You have all made a big mistake, I will be back for my mate." He said and walked away.

"Well, good riddance!" The twin Alphas said.

"Enough you two," Alpha Dominic said, his voice laced with frustration. "You must acknowledge Lyra as your mate. This indecision ends now."

The twins' faces twisted in disgust. Damon was the first to speak, his voice cold and sharp. "I will not accept an Omega as my mate."

My heart clenched painfully in my chest. Every word was like a punch, each syllable dragging me deeper into the darkness that had been clouding my mind since the moment they first denied me.

"You don’t have a choice," Dominic snapped. His eyes were hard as he glared at his sons, daring them to challenge him. "Rejecting a mate is not only a disgrace but a risk to the strength of our pack. You know the consequences."

I stood silently in the corner, feeling more invisible than ever. I was a topic of discussion, yet no one was addressing me directly, as if my presence didn’t matter.

They were talking about me, about my fate, but I had no voice in the matter.

Damon clenched his fists, the muscles in his jaw twitching. "She’s weak," he muttered, his voice laced with contempt. "An Omega will never be enough to stand by our side."

Damian nodded in agreement, his face set in a scowl. "She would bring us down. I won’t do it."

Dominic’s gaze darkened, and the tension in the room spiked.

"You will acknowledge her, even if only in name. You don’t have to love her. You don’t even have to like her. But you will claim her as your mate to protect the pack’s reputation. Do you understand?"

My breath caught in my throat. The realization of what was happening settled over me like a heavy fog.

I wasn’t just unwanted—I was a burden, something to be tolerated for the sake of appearances. Only in name.

The twins exchanged a look, their expressions mirroring their frustration. But neither of them spoke.

The silence stretched on, thick with resentment and unspoken words.

"Fine," Damian said at last, his voice tight with anger. "We’ll announce it."

The announcement came later that day. It was brief, cold, and humiliating.

Damon and Damian stood in front of the pack, their faces hard and emotionless as they declared me their mate.

There was no joy in their voices, no affection, not even a hint of respect.

"Lyra is our mate," Damon said, his voice echoing through the packhouse. "But she will never be a true partner to us."

I felt the eyes of the pack on me, burning with curiosity and judgment. My heart shattered into pieces as the words hung in the air, and I could barely breathe under the weight of their cold indifference.

My fingers twisted together, trembling as I fought to hold back the tears that threatened to spill over.

Humiliation washed over me in waves, crashing down on me until I felt like I was drowning in it.

Every whisper, every glance from the pack members made it worse.

They were talking about me, pitying me, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.

I stood there, trying to make myself as small as possible, wishing I could disappear. But I couldn’t.

I had to endure it, had to stand there and accept the shame, even though it tore me apart.

That night, I was summoned to Alpha Dominic’s office.

My stomach churned with anxiety as I made my way to the room, my heart heavy with the weight of everything that had happened.

I didn’t want to face him, didn’t want to hear what he had to say, but I had no choice.

When I entered the room, Dominic was sitting behind his large desk, his eyes cold and calculating.

He didn’t offer me a seat, didn’t even greet me. He simply stared at me, as if I were something he had to deal with rather than a person with feelings.

"You need to understand something, Lyra," he said, his voice devoid of warmth. "As the mate of Alphas, you have a responsibility to this pack. You need to become stronger. An Alpha’s mate must be able to defend the pack, not just stand by and watch."

His words sent a chill down my spine. There was no concern in his voice, no genuine care for my well-being.

This wasn’t about me. This was about him—about his need for power and control.

"I… I don’t understand," I whispered, my voice barely audible.

"You will begin training tomorrow," he said, ignoring my confusion. "It will be hard, but you don’t have a choice. You are an Alpha’s mate now, whether you like it or not."

  • Mated to Three Alphas   Chapter Sixty-seven

    Damian’s POV The ford reeked of horse sweat and churned mud. Tracks crisscrossed the bank, too many to sort cleanly. My scouts fanned out, eyes sharp, but the trail bent in every direction. Damon had covered his escape well. I knelt and pressed my fingers to the damp soil. The earth still held the weight of her. I could almost feel it—her heartbeat echoing faintly through the bond, quick and frightened, pulling me east. “She was here,” I said. My voice was rough, low. Rowan crouched beside me. His face was pale, the way it always went when he feared to speak truth. “If Damon took her this way, he has hours on us. He knows the side routes. By dawn he could be in the Ashen Cliffs.” I stood, rage pushing up my spine. The Ashen Cliffs meant no return. Once he crossed them, the borderlands swallowed tracks like fire swallows dry grass. “He won’t get that far,” I growled. The bond burned hotter, pulling me. I hated it, hated how much it ruled me, but I needed it now. It was my

  • Mated to Three Alphas   Chapter Sixty-six

    Damian’s POV Word had reached me then that the Council had already sent a rider to the High Temple. Dominic’s men had moved fast. Their pace meant angle. They did not move like men who took something in anger. They moved like men who had planned the night. My anger snapped into a new edge. Not only had someone taken her, but they had done it with a plan. They had done it with pockets full enough to buy silence and speed. That meant an enemy who thought long and liked to cut from the inside. I thought of Damon. I thought of his hands on the ledger he had stolen in my halls. I thought of his quiet words when he said he would “keep her alive until he decided.” He had spoken like a thief who loved the sight of a prize. He had moved like a man who hid knives in smiles. He had taken her. I told myself not to be rash. A son’s rage could be a father’s mistake. The elders would turn if I stormed and proved nothing. Dominic would laugh and bind the pack tighter. Still, I made a choice in

  • Mated to Three Alphas   Chapter Sixty-five

    Damian’s POV I woke to a silence that smelled wrong. Guards had shouted once in the night, and then the keep had gone quiet like a held breath. I pushed myself up and listened. The war table sat under a single lamp. The maps had not moved. Still, something in the air told me the world had shifted. Rowan burst into my room before I could stand. He did not knock. He never knocked when the news burned. His face was pale and wet with sweat. “She is gone,” he said. His voice cut straight through the dark. I moved faster than the sleep wanted my body to move. I did not ask. I ran. My boots hit stone and I did not hear them. I ran past the halls where men slept in chairs, past the war table, out into the courtyard. The sky had not yet brightened, but smoke traced low in the east like a thin, black line. Lyra stood in the doorway of her room in my mind, as she had the night before—book loose, dagger at her hip, stubborn like a blade. Now she only existed as absence. Rowan met me at

  • Mated to Three Alphas   Chapter sixty-four

    Damon’s POV Rain came down like punishment. It soaked the roofs and turned the paths to mud. I liked the rain that night. It hid footprints. It softened sounds. It made men slower and less sure. I moved through the servants’ passages like a ghost trained to vanish. My men followed close, silent and ready. We kept our faces low beneath cloaks. The oil lamps guttered and the wind stole their light. Perfect weather for a theft. I had waited for the storm. I had let the keep settle into tiredness and false safety. I had bribed a pair of watchmen to stagger their patrols. I had paid for a stable boy’s silence and the key to a side gate. I had maps folded in my head. Each step had been paid for and planned, small coins spent on small men. Most men sold themselves cheap. I used that. Lyra’s power had changed the rules. She hit a priest and broke a ward. That did not make her predictable. It made her dangerous and clever. I did not want to drag a live wire into my hands without a soft

  • Mated to Three Alphas   Soxty-three

    Damian’s POV I slipped into Lyra’s room one evening while she read. She did not startle. She never did when I entered lately. Her eyes were tired, but they carried the raw thing that had held her through loss. She looked at me like someone who measured a man by the weight of his hands. “You should not be here,” she said. “You should not be alone,” I answered. She closed the book and put it aside. “You said you would protect me,” she said, quiet and sharp. “You said that before you buried Kyle.” I did not want to face the memory. My hands shook. “I thought I could keep you safe,” I said. “I thought keeping secrets would save lives.” She laughed once, bitter. “Secrets killed him. They killed him because you chose them for me.” Her words hit like a stone. I did not answer. I wanted to be a man who could stand in the light of truth and not flinch. Instead I had scavenged safety from shadows. “I had a dream,” I said finally. I kept my voice small. “My mother told me… she to

  • Mated to Three Alphas   Sixty-two

    Damian’s POV I dreamed my mother again. The dream came quick and hard, like a hand slamming a door. I stood where the old birch grove used to be. The air smelled like lavender and wet earth. Her hair was the same as in the stories—silver and heavy. Her voice had the sound of wind through dry branches. “Listen,” she said. Her eyes did not soften. They dug into me. “He means to wake it.” I asked who. The word left my mouth small and useless. She pointed without moving, and the ground under my feet shook. I saw a shadow under the Blood Fang mountains. It was huge. Scales like black glass slid inside the cracks. Eyes glowed like coals. Chains held it, thick and old, carved with runes that pulsed like a dying heart. “He will spill her blood,” she said. “The girl’s blood will break the seals. The beast will rise and it will not bow. You must stop him.” I told her she was dead. I told her the past was gone. Her face did not change. “Have I lied to you?” she asked. Her voice turne
