Lucy's POV

More and more werewolves dropped to the ground, their bodies making dull thuds on the floor of the hall. Some people fell atop tables, tipping them over and falling down the glasses and plates atop them. Glassware crashed to the ground, adding to the chaotic atmosphere.

My mind went to Tessa and Rosa and I searched around the hall with my eyes, trying to locate the last place I had seen her having fun with the Halflings. I didn't know what was causing people to drop to the floor unconscious, but I was deeply worried that they might have been affected too.

Rosa rushed to us, holding Tessa by the hand. Immediate relief washed over me, but Rosa's eyes were bloodshot. She looked more frantic than the last time I had seen her, and her hair that had been perfectly styled now had wisps sticking out at odd angles around her face like a bird’s nest.

Tessa wrapped her arms around me, and I could feel her trembling. Of course, such a scene as this was sure to frighten a little child.

    Scott’s POVAbout five minutes later, Katrina walked into the room, clipboard in hand, to conduct some final check-ups. She efficiently examined Marvela, checking her vitals and asking a few questions. In no time, she finished her examination and nodded in satisfaction."You're good to go, Marvela," Katrina said, tucking her glasses into the pocket of her lab coat. "Just take it easy for the next few days, and you'll be back to normal in no time." “Thank you so much, Katrina.” I replied, and with that, Katrina gave us a professional smile before turning to leave.After that, we all headed home together with Shaun and Lucy. When we arrived, I walked Marvela to my room, her hands brushing against mine as we walked side by side. The casual touch sent a subtle spark through me, and I found myself glancing over at her, wanting to unravel every part of her body as her familiar scent of jasmine and cinnamon, although now tainted with the smell of antiseptics, filled my nose.As we continued

    Scott’s POVI walked alongside Marvela, Darian secure in my sling, as we made our way out of the forest, heading towards my home for dinner. The atmosphere was relaxed, and I was looking forward to a peaceful evening.“So have you finally accepted me, or are you going to walk right past me when you see me tomorrow?” Marvela asked, her expression filled with worry.“If that was my intention, I wouldn’t have invited you for dinner.” I replied, and she went red.As we entered the training field, chaos erupted. One of the soldiers who was playing with a bow and arrow, even though they were all supposed to be long gone, got distracted and careless; he released an arrow without checking his surroundings.And that arrow……was heading towards me.Time seemed to slow down as I watched in horror, unable to move or react. The arrow hurtled towards me, its trajectory deadly and precise. All I heard were Marvela’s screams, and then she moved. With lightning-fast reflexes, she stepped in front of m

    Lucy’s POVI slowly opened my eyes, wincing from the bright light streaming through the curtains. As my vision adjusted, I realised I was draped across Shaun's chest, his arms wrapped tightly around me. He was still fast asleep, a peaceful expression on his face.I didn't want to wake him, so I carefully tried to extricate myself from his grasp. I managed to slide out of bed without disturbing him, but as I took my first few steps away, I froze, hearing his sleepy voice behind me."Why are you being so sneaky?" Shaun's voice was husky from sleep, and I couldn't help but smile. Guess I didn't succeed in being stealthy after all. I turned to face him, and our eyes met. He was watching me with a mixture of amusement and curiosity, his eyes crinkling at the corners.“Trying to run away already?” He smiled.And I felt a blush rise to my cheeks as his words washed over me and I rolled my eyes. "I was trying not to wake you or Rosa," I explained, my voice barely above a whisper. I didn't wan

    Scott’s povThe door swung open, and the maid walked in, Darian in her arms. His bright eyes sparkled as he gazed up at me, his face freshly bathed and dressed in new clothes. The sweet scent of baby powder filled the air, and I couldn't help but smile."All ready to go, beta Scott," the maid said with a warm smile, her eyes darting between Marvela and me. For a moment, she seemed taken aback by the presence of a strange woman in my room, but she quickly composed herself.As she handed Darian to me, Marvela intercepted, gently taking him from the maid's arms. "Let me," she said, her voice soft and soothing as she cradled Darian in her arms.Darian giggled and cooed, seemingly comfortable in Marvela's arms. The sight was unexpected, yet somehow natural. Marvela's eyes met mine, and my heart skipped a beat.After the maid left, we headed to the training grounds, the sun beating down on us as we walked. I apologized to the soldiers for my sudden absence when we got there, explaining tha

  • Claimed By My Triplet Alpha Stepsons   Chapter 105: Who is this woman?

    Scott’s POVI sat on the edge of my bed, rubbing my tired eyes. The memories of that day still lingered in my mind, but it was the dreams that had kept me awake. Dreams of her, the mysterious woman with brown eyes.As the man in charge of the soldiers, I knew my duties were clear: protect the pack, uphold the laws, and train to defend our territory. But the truth was, I didn't want to go to the training grounds today. I didn't want to face her. I recalled our brief yet heartwarming conversation in the forest, the way she made the world stop when I looked in her eyes.I just couldn’t face her, and the reason was simple: she had changed everything. The way I felt about my duties, even the way I saw myself. I couldn’t give her false hope; there was no way I could accommodate a mate after all I had been through. For the first time in my life, I felt like running away from my responsibilities because of a woman.It was a cowardly thing to do, and I knew it.As I sat there, trying to gather

    Lucy's POVFinally, Ken allowed me into his chambers and offered me a seat. He was still rubbing his neck in the spot where I had almost injured him, and even though I was well aware of his discomfort, I told myself that I wasn't going to apologize. It was his fault, after all. There was no need for violence in the first place. His chambers were small, for lack of a better word, but it was in surprisingly good shape for a room with little space. The floors looked freshly cleaned and the single chair by the entrance door looked freshly furnished. I sat down, and folded my hands on my thighs. I released a deep breath because I had been standing for so long that my legs were almost numb. “Thank you,”I muttered, making myself more comfortable in the chair. For something made completely out of wood, it had a nice feel to it.“It was made from one of the oldest trees in the territory,” Ken said, watching me from the other side of the room where he stood. There was a flame at the centre of
