"Tonight, is the coronation ceremony of the Alpha King's sons. Rather than presenting you as an option for their mate choice, your twin sister will be presented, instead.” My father spoke coldly to me. Every fiber of his being expressed hatred for me, and while I was a little used to being treated that way, it was painful that as the older twin sister, I was skipped for an opportunity like this. When the ceremony started, we all stood as a family, with my sister dressed really pretty, and waiting for the Alpha King's sons to meet us. But the moment I noticed them walking towards us, my heart skipped a beat and my whole body charged up with adrenaline as I realized one thing. They were my mates. Not just one, but triplets. Alyssa is an omega in the family and pack of betas, and was treated as a nobody by her father, sister and the pack, when her mother died. But as vibrant soul, she endured all she went through in their hands until she met her mates who were triplets. While she was happy to have finally met the ones whom she felt would show her love and care, little did she know that it was the beginning of worse misery in her life that led to her desiring revenge. As time goes on, she would find secrets that would break her soul. Would Alyssa torture every single person that made life worse for her or would allow love to ease her grieving heart?

“Mother!” I screamed out loud in tears as I watched my mother being torn apart by a rogue.
Other children and mothers ran off with fear in their hearts and they were all screaming, except for me, whose mother was stuck in the hands of a rogue.
Tears rolled down my eyes uncontrollably, and my heart ached in so much pain as she also cried out, trying to shield herself from the rogue’s claws. But he was too strong for her. As he slammed her to the ground, she looked towards my side with tears in her eyes.
“Run!” She urged me with every strength in her.
“Mother!” I cried again, and tried to stand with the excruciating pain I was feeling at my back.
Right when the attack had started, I tried to also attack the rogue, so it wouldn’t hurt my mother, but he hit me across the wall, and something sharp scratched my back, but was a little deep. I fell right to the floor in tears and my mother tried to run to me, but the rogue grabbed her back.
I immediately rose to my feet and tried to run towards the pack house to call father for help, but at that moment, I saw my father and his warriors rushing towards us. My heart beamed with joy that my mother would be saved, but as I turned back to look at her, I saw the rogue rip out her heart while her eyes were still open and on me.
I fell right to the ground in shock and my mouth gaped open. This couldn’t be. My mother possibly couldn’t be dead. No way.
My father pounced on the rogue and also tore him apart, then he held my mother’s body and growled out loud in pain.
“Lyra, no!” He shouted at the top of his voice as tears strolled down his eyes.
That was the first time I ever saw my father cry even when I had witnessed him suffer deadly wounds and attacks. Never did he cry because of the pain. He was already stained all over by mother’s blood as he hugged her tight like he wasn’t ready to let her go. But she was gone.
Minutes later, other guards went close to him, and separated him from his dead wife, and he buried his face in his palms after they took her from his arms.
Then I walked up to him while crying bitterly as I wanted to pacify him too.
“Father.” I called to him softly.
But instead, he rose to his feet with his eyes burning with anger.
“You!” He raised his voice at me, and the back of his hand struck mercilessly across my face.
“Ahh!” I screamed in pain.
The swat of his hand was hard on me that I fell to the ground. His claws had teared from my left eye and across my nose bridge to part of my cheek. I felt blood streaming down from my face and the pain stung me deeply.
“Father.” I whimpered in fear.
“You are the reason she died, and you wanted to run away. I always knew that you being an omega would cause issues. You have just proven to be nothing but a useless weakling.” My father spat those words at me in an angry manner.
His words were like a dagger to my little heart, and I only stood, watching him dumbfoundedly.
“Take her away and lock her up in her room with no food to eat!” He ordered his guards and they bowed before they took his order.
The guards grabbed my arms and one of them swung me over his shoulder as they headed back home. I couldn’t struggle to set myself free or anything, because it was all going to be for nothing.
On getting home, I was thrown into my dark room and they locked the door. I cried out so hard and began to hit my fist against the door. I wanted to see my mother for the last time, but no one heard me.
“Why did this have to happen?” I said with so much pain in my heart.
If only I didn’t bug my mother to take me to the playground, no rogue would have taken her life today, and father will never be this angry with me.
After for what seemed like a few hours, my door opened and Ingrid, my twin sister walked in.
“Ingrid.” I uttered with tears in my eyes as I rose to my feet.
Tears were also in her eyes and she seemed very angry with me. Before I knew it, she also raised her hand and slapped me right across where father had clawed me.
“Ouch! Ingrid!” I voiced out in pain.
“It’s because of you mother met her demise. Because of you, pain and sadness has struck our family, and I will never forgive you for that. For always taking more attention from mother, and leading her to her death before I could enjoy as much love as I want from her. Mark my words, from today on, you will regret you were ever born.” She threatened and then walked out of my room, then slammed the door shut.
More tears streamed down my face all through that night until the next day when I was called out to attend my mother’s funeral. Everyone cried and said a lot of good things about her. And even when they were done with the funeral rites, people joined in groups to have conversations while I went somewhere secluded to cry out my eyes.
“Mother, I miss you. I’m sorry.” I sobbed and continued to wipe my tears.
“Hey.” I heard a soft voice call out to me and I immediately cleaned my tears and raised my head up only to see one of the Alpha Princes standing before me with a flower in his hand. “Here.” He said, handing over the flower to me.
I received the flower and looked at it while more tears streamed down my face
“Don’t worry, your mother will always be with you. I’m Reece.” He said with a gentle smile, and hugged me tight before he walked away.
As he walked away, I stared at him and cleaned my tears while looking at the flower, and feeling my mother’s love. In a few minutes, my father and Ingrid were walking towards me with a scary look.
From that moment, I knew that my horrible life without my mother had just started.
203Alyssa’s POVThe pain came slowly at first. A dull twist in my stomach, then sharper, spreading like fire under my ribs. I curled up on the cold floor beside my bed, one hand pressed to my belly, the other clutching the edge of the blanket like it could anchor me to the world.I had pushed the cup away, had spilled most of it, but a few drops were all it took. I could taste it still at the back of my throat, bitter and wrong.I wanted to cry but no tears came. I felt too dry, like my body was squeezing itself from the inside out.A small sound slipped out of me, half a whimper. I pressed my lips tight, afraid someone would hear. If Ingrid knew I was still alive, she would try again. I had to be careful.My head spun. I tried to stand but the pain doubled me over again. I held onto the bedpost and squeezed my eyes shut.“Tara,” I breathed. “Please… Tara.”I didn’t know if she would come. I didn’t know if she was even close. But the room felt too small, too silent, and I couldn’t do
202Alyssa’s POVI didn’t sleep well after Ryan left. I lay there in the dim hush of my room, the blanket pulled tight under my chin, the faint taste of him still warm on my mouth. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw his; that flicker of softness that turned to steel the second he pulled away.No. The word echoed in my head like a ghost.No, he had said, to me, to himself, to whatever fragile thing we might have let slip between our ribs if we’d been braver.When dawn finally slipped through the cracks in my shutters, I pushed myself up. My body ached from yesterday, the shovel, the dirt, the climb out of my own grave. But more than that, I felt hollow. Like someone had scooped the warmth from my chest and left nothing behind but frost.I dragged myself from bed. The floor was cold under my bare feet, but I didn’t flinch. I pulled on my plain grey dress, the one with the patched elbow and the tiny tear near the hem that I never found time to fix. I combed my fingers through my hair and
201Ingrid’s POVI saw him before he saw me. Ryan slipped out of that wretched little servant’s room like he was a thief in the night, boots tracking filth across my polished floors, shirt wrinkled, hair mussed in a way that made my stomach twist. He didn’t even bother to straighten it before stalking down the hall like something was burning behind his eyes.He didn’t look my way, but I saw enough. I saw the way his hand flexed at his side, fingers brushing his lips like he could wipe her taste from his mouth.I felt heat crawl up my neck, a flush of rage so sharp it made my teeth ache. So that was it, then. That worthless little shadow had wormed her way under his skin too.Regardless of how alluring I was, they always still had a soft spot somewhere for her. Sweet, meek Alyssa who didn’t even know how to stand up straight unless someone pinned her to a wall.“Tch!”I turned on my heel before Ryan could glance back and see me watching. Let him think I hadn’t noticed, let him think he
250~Sabrina’s POVI stared at the ceiling, my fingers clenching around the edge of the blanket. I hated how everything in my life had become this waiting game, waiting for news, waiting for control, waiting for the moment I could finally wipe that smug innocence off Bella’s face.Bella.I rolled my eyes just thinking of her. Sweet little Bella, all soft edges and tragic tears. The precious puppet Alex now kept at his side.I used to be the one he touched like that. I used to be the one who got his attention.Until he tossed me aside.A toy that had lost its charm.Now he had her.And I was done watching her win.My phone buzzed on the nightstand, slicing through my rage like a knife. I reached over and snatched it without hesitation. A message from my private investigator.Finally.I tapped it open.Apologies, Sabrina. Correction from my earlier message. The man connected to Bella is actually named Richard, not Victor. That was an error on my part. Bella’s father is Richard. Just got
191Alyssa’s PovA few days had passed since I came back fully to the pack, and those days went by with Tara encouraging me to stay strong and patient. Truly, I hoped that things would change for me, but it was getting difficult to wait.“Just when exactly will I be happy?” I said as I stared into blank space.I glanced towards the window, looking at my favorite shape of the moon; crescent. But it didn’t make me feel hope or good like it usually did.“My strength is waning already, moon goddess. You’ve got to do something.” I urged, wishing so hard that this was the prayer she would finally answer.I took in a deep breath and let it out before I rose to my feet. I stretched and did a little exercise before I walked towards my door, opened it and headed off to Tara’s room.On getting to her door, I knocked gently, waiting patiently for her to open up. In no time, the door clicked open and she poked her head out. Her face looked tired, and her lips were dry and cracked.“Do not tell me
190Tara’s PovI felt his sincerity deeply, and a tear fell down my face. He hated children but was willing to take mine because of me. His gaze fell to my lips, and he kissed me slowly.I hadn’t realized how much I had missed his touch until his hands found me in the right places, and my longing and desire for him flared up like the flames of a fire engulfing a pan with heated oil.We kissed for minutes, our hands roaming over each other, although mine was more careful. I crawled onto his bed, and in seconds, our clothes were strewn across the floor as we gasped and made sounds of pleasure as we filled each other with the delight and longing we had wanted for long.No words were exchanged and we had sex all night. Whenever we got tired, we lay down breathing heavily only to get aroused and start again as if trying to make up for the days in which we had missed each other, and by the time the sun came up, we were lying exhausted under the covers.There was a knock on the door, and I j
