ADAM

The walls between the banquet hall and this smaller reception chamber weren’t thick enough to block the noise of celebration, but they blurred it into something distant and strange—laughter reduced to a muffled hum, music softened into a ghostly echo.

The air was heavier here, warmer, carrying the sweet bite of wine and the lingering scent of roasted meats. A faint curl of smoke from the hearth reached me, earthy and familiar.

I lounged back in the high-backed chair, one ankle crossed over my knee, goblet balanced in my hand. My fingers traced the polished stem slowly, over and over. The firelight danced in restless shapes, licking up the blackened logs, and I found myself watching it the way one might watch a dangerous animal—entranced and wary.

The flames reminded me of her.

Dora. A false name, but it was all I had of her.

Dora. Reckless. Bold. Infuriating.

I could still see her as clearly as if she were standing in the room now—chin lifted, voice carrying through the great ha

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   dome

    ADAMI woke up with a shout lodged in my throat.The dream clung to me like rot.Sage stood before me, cloaked in darkness so thick it swallowed the world. She pointed at me, her mouth stretching into a laugh that echoed too loudly, too wrong. Then she was Maya—bleeding, broken, slipping through my fingers as I begged her to stay. Then Dora. Always Dora. Her eyes wide with betrayal as my hands closed around a blade already buried in her chest.They all died in my hands. Again.I jolted upright, breath tearing out of me, my heart slamming against my ribs like it wanted out. Sweat slicked my skin. My fingers dug into the sheets as I tried to orient myself, tried to remember where I was, when I was.I dragged a hand through my hair, tugging hard enough to ground myself. That was when I realized that I was alone. Where was she?The space beside me was cold. Empty. No warmth. No scent. Like we hadn’t even happened. How… Did she erase the scents with magic? Why?Did she not want the matebo

  • 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,

    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
