Riley’s POV

My hand trembled slightly as I pushed open the door to my room, my mind still replaying the unsettling conversation with Meredith. I’d expected the quiet solitude of my own space, a place to gather my thoughts and steel myself for whatever lay ahead. Instead, I found Damon. He stood by the door, his back to me, his posture—somewhat rigid, his very presence brought a feeling of unease inside of me. Surprise morphed into confusion, then a prickle of fear. I didn't know why, but my heart seem to beat faster seeing him standing here. What was he doing here?

I swallowed a spittle then opened my mouth, "Damon?" I called, my voice hesitant. "What… what are you doing here?"

He turned, his gaze meeting mine, and the breath caught in my throat. His eyes, usually warm and teasing, were now cold and sharp, like shards of ice. He didn’t answer, instead, he just continued to stare at me, his silence more unnerving than any angry outburst. He took a step towards me, and another, and the

  • Mated to the triplet alpha princes   Chapter 73

    Riley's POV The air still smelled faintly of smoke and blood, a grim reminder of the chaos that had swept through HornSide. A day had passed already, a long, agonizing day filled with hushed reports and the distant sounds of clean-up. The outlanders, by some miracle, had been pushed back, defeated. Our warriors, though battered and grieving, had held the line. HornSide was safe, for now. But the cost had been heavy.My own body ached with a deep, weary exhaustion, but it was nothing compared to the knot of dread that had tightened in my stomach ever since I’d seen Norman fall.Now, I stood beside Norman’s bed in the medical wing, a cramped, sterile room that smelled of antiseptic and lingering fear. The light was dim, softened by the heavy curtains drawn across the window. My gaze was fixed on his still, pale face. The slow, shallow rise and fall of his chest was the only assurance tha he was alive. That was all that mattered.Dr. Walker, with his tired eyes and steady hands, leaned

  • Mated to the triplet alpha princes   Chapter 72

    Norman's POVThe BANG that tore through the air was not a sound of celebration, nor a training drill gone wrong. It was the raw, brutal roar of war. My mind, still reeling from the devastating scene with Riley, snapped into immediate, terrifying clarity. I spun back towards Riley, who stood frozen in the training field, eyes wide. Her face was pale, streaked with tears, a mix of heartbreak and dawning terror. For a split second, my eyes locked with hers, and I saw the vulnerability there, the shock. My wolf gave a sharp, urgent whine. Despite the burning betrayal that still gnawed at me, despite the picture seared into my brain, the urge to keep her safe, to shield her from harm, was overwhelming. She was my mate. No matter what had happened, that bond, that instinct, was ingrained.“Riley! To cover! Now!” I roared, my voice cutting through the rising clamor, sharp and commanding. I didn’t waste time with words of comfort, couldn’t bring myself to. My hand, still trembling from the f

  • Mated to the triplet alpha princes   Chapter 71

    Norman's POVThe drive to HornSide was a grinding nightmare. Every mile felt like a hundred, every turn in the road a cruel delay.The few warriors in the truck were sensible enough not to engage in any conversation that might get me irritated. Their ability to keep shut is a clear evidence they knew something was boiling inside of me.The image was seared into my mind. Her face, tilted up. His lips, pressed to hers. The soft light of dusk. It looked… intimate. Consensual. It was a betrayal that ripped through me, tearing apart everything I thought I knew, everything I believed we had. The urge to hit something, to smash my fist through a wall, through anything, was a constant, vibrating tremor in my hands. When the truck finally pulled up outside the HornSide pack house, I barely registered the sounds. The greetings from HornSide warriors, the excited murmurs from my own troops, all faded into a dull roar. My vision was tunneled. My focus was singular. I stepped out, my boots hittin

  • Mated to the triplet alpha princes   Chapter 70

    Riley's POV With Zoey increasingly absent, drawn to Kirk’s glittering, fake charm, I found myself adrift. The troop was busy, preparing for the upcoming battles, and while I participated in discussions and planning, my 'light duties' meant I wasn’t out in the thick of the physical training. It gave me too much time to think, too much time to feel alone.It was during this time that I found an unexpected solace. Damon.He didn't make a big show of it. He wasn't loud or attention-seeking like Kirk. Instead, his presence became a quiet constant. After the daily planning meetings, when the other commanders dispersed, Damon would often linger. He'd find me poring over maps, cross-referencing my notes on outlander patrols, and he would just… be there.“Still analyzing, Riley?” he’d ask, his voice calm, without the condescension I was used to from other high-ranking wolves.“Just making sure we haven’t missed anything,” I’d reply, looking up.He wouldn't dismiss my work. He wouldn’t offer e

  • Mated to the triplet alpha princes   Chapter 69

    Riley's POV Pregnant. Norman’s pups. The thought, once terrifying, now sparked a surprising joy. It wasn't just a baby; it was his baby. Norman, the calm, steady presence, the one who had always seen past the 'runt' to something more. The idea of carrying a part of him, of building a future that wasn't just about fighting, but about creating, felt… revolutionary. Elation bubbled up, a feeling so strong it made my eyes prickle. It was a secret, a precious, fragile secret, nestled deep within me.I looked at Dr. Walker, a wide, almost goofy smile spreading across my face. “Pregnant?” I whispered, the word tasting sweet on my tongue. “Oh, Dr. Walker… that’s… that’s amazing.” I couldn’t help the grin. “You have to keep this to yourself, please. I want to tell him myself. When he comes back, when he joins the troop, I want to be the one to tell him.” The thought of seeing Norman’s face when he heard the news, the hope and love in his eyes, was a powerful, driving force. It made everything

  • Mated to the triplet alpha princes   Chapter 68

    Riley's POV The morning after we arrived at HornSide was a complete swirl of exhaustion, lingering pain. My throat still ached, a reminder of Alpha Nate’s murderous grip. He had tried to kill me, the supposed ‘runt,’ and only Damon’s swift action, prompted by his silent authority, had saved me. And then, there Damon’s words, “To get you.” They had echoed in my mind all night, a soft, unsettling whisper that defied everything I knew about my place in the world. I had to conclude it was nothing serious, maybe he was joking.But there was no time to dwell. Right now, I had to attend the meeting. Karl had communicated the details to me in a text message.The meeting hall was a large, utilitarian room, dominated by a long, rough-hewn table. Maps and diagrams of the outlander territories, rough sketches of their bases, and notes from our recent infiltration were already spread across its surface. The air was thick with the scent of old wood, dust, and the sharp, anxious scent of many wolve
