"Mama, do you think she will ever wake up...this is the week of..."

I heard the voice of a little girl, just before she was cut off by her mother, piercing through the thick fog of darkness coating my entire being.

"Shush...we will talk outside. Considering her vitals and her chi's rehabilitation, it is possible that she won't be asleep for so long now. Come, let us go towards the kitchen. Your father will be coming back anytime soon."

Dimly, I watched the mother take the little girl, whose height I couldn't determine due to the haziness. They hadn't noticed that I was awake.

As they walked out of the room, I tried to open my eyes fully and put my limbs into motion, but I was greeted with an onslaught of pain and agony, which reminded me of the events I had last recalled.

The beating. The triplets. How was I still alive?

I attempted once again to open my eyes fully, but the stinging pain forced me to close them just slightly. I would have to settle for a minute fraction of sight.

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   not mates

    So this was what it meant to be intimate with your mate. I opened my eyes slowly, languidly, as though my body had forgotten urgency.Pleasure still hummed beneath my skin, a low, satisfied thrum that made even breathing feel indulgent. My limbs were heavy, loose, pleasantly sore, as if every muscle had been stretched and claimed and then carefully set back into place.I turned my head slightly, the sheets whispering against my skin, and a soft sound escaped me before I could stop it—half sigh, half memory.Heat curled low in my belly again, uninvited but welcome.The intimacy replayed itself without mercy. Adam’s strength. His relentless focus. The way his restraint had finally shattered, the way he had said my name like it was both a prayer and a curse. It hadn’t dulled with time. If anything, it had sharpened. Being lifemates had made it worse—better—more consuming than it had ever been when I had been Maya.My breath hitched as the memory crested, and I pressed my lips together,

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   lifemates iii

    ADAMI felt her before I ever stepped into the room. Before she herself crossed into the quarters.The bond—if that was what this was—tightened like a living thing beneath my skin, undeniable. It had been there even when she was gone, faint but persistent, like a distant echo I could never fully silence.Now, standing here, it was overwhelming.I faced the wall, my back to the room, my palms braced against stone I barely registered. I had come here with purpose—had told myself I needed answers, needed to confront her privately, needed to look into her eyes and demand the truth.I wished I hadn’t come. Especially when she entered the space, especially when her voice reached me.Because if I turned around, I wasn’t sure I would stop myself.Her scent filled the room, saturated the air, crawled into my lungs and settled there like a claim. My wolf surged violently, recognition slamming into instinct, into hunger, into something old and irrevocable.Mine.The thought wasn’t conscious. It

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   lifemates ii

    “Isla, get out here or I am going to leave you behind.” My voice cut through the house, sharp enough to sting. It was already past noon, sunlight pouring through the windows in lazy sheets, and my patience was long gone. Guards had arrived earlier in the morning and hauled most of our belongings away to the new location. All that remained was us. Or rather—her. For some infuriating reason, Isla was still not ready.I stood in the sitting room, arms crossed, jaw tight, already knowing without checking exactly why she was taking so long. She had a date. Again. With the same werewolf she had been seeing for weeks now, sneaking glances and soft smiles like this was some harmless romance.I exhaled through my nose. I hoped—fiercely—that she hadn’t been foolish enough to fall in love.Werewolves had mates. Fate-bound, irreversible mates. And when a true mate appeared, everything else became irrelevant. Promises, affection, history—it all vanished. Isla would be discarded without hesitati

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   lifemates

    SAGEOnce, I had wondered what it felt like to have a mate.Not in the abstract way people talked about it—bonded, chosen, destined—but in the visceral sense. To know a mate. To smell them and have something deep and raw inside you recognize the truth before your mind ever could. To understand the pull that made people reckless, foolish, brave.I had felt a sliver of it once. As Maya.That first time with Adam, years ago, in the caves, there had been something there—something tentative and fragile, like the first note of a song that never quite found its chorus. But time had eroded it. Betrayal had ruptured it. Distance had finished the work. Eventually, even the longing had died.Or so I had thought.Now—I shut my eyes as his voice carried through the door, threading its way into the room as though walls were merely a suggestion.“Sage?”The sound of it made something inside me twist.Lifemates.The word rose unbidden, heavy and dangerous. I held back an incredulous scoff.Lifemat

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   back to the plan

    I stood miles away from the boundary.The invisible line separating the lycan region and its colonies from the rest of the world shimmered faintly to my senses, not with sight but with power—wards layered upon wards, old magic braided with newer ones, humming like a living thing. I could feel it pressing against my skin, familiar and unwelcome all at once. Wards made to keep mostly humans away, except they came around with a guard, someone with a keen eye to the supernatural.This was where I was supposed to be. Not some mountain. In the stage of my plan, this was where I was supposed to be.And yet, for the first time since I fled the mountains, doubt crept in, even without El’s troublesome voice in my head. I paused on a ridge overlooking the land, the wind tugging at my clothes, carrying scents I recognized too well—wolves, earth, smoke, blood old and new. Home, if such a word could still apply to me. Or a cage, depending on how one looked at it.To my left lay the direction of

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   escape

    SAGEI didn’t think I would ever get used to it.I stood before the mirror, unmoving, my reflection staring back at me with a calm confidence I possessed. The room was quiet, dawn creeping in slowly from the edges of the world, and still I couldn’t look away.The wardrobe had offered me only dresses—flowing and elegant, meant for bodies like this one. I wore one now, pale and soft, the fabric clinging in places it never used to, skimming curves I hadn’t fully accepted as mine. My wig rested in my hands, familiar, grounding.My real hair fell down my back in a long, silken cascade—white as snow, but no longer purely so. Gold threaded through it now, fine streaks catching the light whenever I moved, as though sunlight itself had decided to live there. The same gold ringed my eyes, encircling the irises in a thin, unmistakable halo that marked me for what I was.Ancient. Half Ancient, or thereabout.The mark on my forehead had deepened too. It was no longer something faint, no longer ea
