"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.
69Ingrid’s Pov“Who are we to see and why do I have to be careful?” I asked him out of curiosity.“Well, that’s because… Look, the woman who can leas us to the priceless gem is a granny to a man who has my face. Fortunately, he is currently not in the city, so I can act like him. I have gathered my research and know just all the things I need to know. The woman is a granny right now and she played the role of a mother and did all she could do for the man with my face when he was younger. She was there for him in every way that he needed someone to be there.”“Okay…” I urged him to continue.“So, she’s back in New York City and she wants to see you and me. You know that she has definitely gotten the hang of the whole marriage thingy. Obviously, she would want to find out who is the lucky woman. But she doesn’t know the marriage isn’t real.”“Oh, I understand. That’s great. But why do you look a little weird regarding this?”“Well, she can be a little weird and all. Just be fine.”“Alr
68Ingrid’s PovFor the past few days, my health has been a little discomforting. I came down with a cold and it didn’t seem to go away quickly even with the medicine that was provided. Maybe I was just missing Reynold and Ryan and wondering if they weren’t spending too much time with Alyssa.Days seem to go by differently here, so I hope they haven’t spent too much time over there without me.I wrapped myself with my thick bed covers and sniffled as I reached out for my phone to check out what was going on on the internet and that’s when I heard my room door open.“Hey, you’re awake already.” Reece said with a smile on his face.He was holding a tray with a glass of water and medicine.“Yes.” I replied and adjusted myself on the bed.When he got close to me, he sat at the edge of the bed and placed the tray on the bedside desk.“How are you feeling this morning?” He asked me and placed his palm on my forehead.“I’m a little better. At least, the fever is gone.”“That’s good news. Hav
67Alyssa licked her lips, nodding her head in approval of how delicious the food was. If she could have more of this for lunch and dinner, she would feel like she was in heaven on earth.She also couldn’t deny the fact that the food and the notes which Ryan gave to her, made her feel better than when she just woke up this morning.Now that Alyssa was done, the room fell silent and it started to feel boring to her.“What should I do today?” She asked herself as she got down from the bed.Then her mind went to her bedside desk. She had brought a book along with her to reach during boring moments, but ever since she got here, she didn’t really have a boring moment.“Let’s see how interesting you can be.” She said as she pulled her desk drawer out and picked up the book.Alyssa smiled and went back to sit on her bed, leaned against the headboard and covered from he waist down to her feet with her bed cover. Excitement bubbled in her heart as she felt it was going to be an interesting rea
66Ryan was with Reynold in Reynold’s room when Reynold decided to speak up.“To make things smoother for us here, regarding Alyssa, we have to do what we thought we would never do.” Reynold uttered.“What do you mean by that?” Ryan asked, out of curiosity.“We have to try to be soft to Alyssa, so she doesn’t push herself close to anyone that would make it difficult for us to lay our claim on her. You know, they could ask why we are being so protective of a maid. Rumors could start too.”“oh, that’s right. We definitely have to do something about that.”“But it’s just for this period. Can you do that?”Although, Ryan was still feeling annoyed towards Alyssa, but he had to let it go for that period.“Alright.” He agreed.~The next day, Alyssa woke up with her mood sour. What had happened yesterday wasn’t something she could easily get off her mind. She also hoped that she wouldn’t have to remember how the triplets always seemed to use her the way they wanted and leave her with hurtful
65Alyssa’s PovReece was running towards us and the look on Daniel’s face said a lot about his shock. He didn’t expect that Reece would find us.“Shit!” He cursed out loud and released me.As he released me in the deep, strong water, I yelled out to him.“Hey!” I yelled out as he was the only one who could hear me quickly.But he didn’t care enough to look back at me. The current was beginning to sweep my body away and I shrieked, trying to swim away and get to shore, but it was proving difficult to do that especially as the force of the water was really strong.Why would a man be this wicked all for a low that can never be profitable?“Help me!” I yelled out in fear, but Reece had not gotten close enough to hear my light voice. “Shit!” I cursed boldly as I continued to try swimming fast and strong.What if the current becomes more forceful and makes the water sweep me away swiftly and moves me far from reach?What if I got to the middle of the water, and a big sea creature jumps up
64Ingrid’s PovMy eyes widened and almost popped out due to the shock I felt. I blinked my eyes to be certain that I was seeing the right person and the same face was still before me.He had a smirk on and my heart continued to beat fast and faster like it was going to explode any minute from now. So, when he had told me that he understood the fact that we were married, he didn’t have it in mind to back out.All he wanted was to get Reece to himself and seeing as he had already said he was going to get rid of me, he probably meant death.“Please. Please don’t kill me.” I pleaded with so much fear in my heart.My legs were feeling wobbly and I also felt doomed that I had met my end already.“There’s no way I’m letting you go since you’ve been proving stubborn.” Daniel uttered devilishly.“Please.” I pleaded with a shaky voice as tears filled my eyes up.Then he dragged me by the collar.“If you scream, I’m going to kill you straight away before anyone would get here and I’ll get away
63Ingrid’s PovI put my phone under my belly and closed my eyes, pretending to sleep. At least, If I didn’t click on the message, the blackmailer won’t know that I have seen his message or that I’m not asleep.I opened my eyes again and my eyeballs kept drifting left and right as I scanned the room as well. Even as I had not checked the message, I felt disturbed about it. What if he could see me or he knew that I wasn’t asleep?Just then, I sat up and sighed in frustration. I picked up my phone again and opened the text. I let out a sigh and smacked my lips.“Alright, where?” I sent a text, and stared at the phone intensely.“The back of this hotel.” He informed me.Regardless of how scared and terrified I might be right now, it’s just best for me to step out to avoid more troubles. Besides, nothing can happen to me. Ingrid, you can do this. Don’t be scared.I slowly got down from the bed without making any noise as I didn’t want Reece to wake up from that. I reached for my jacket wh
62Ingrid’s Pov“I… I don’t understand what you mean by that, Reece. What is it that I could be hiding from you?” I said, turning my eyes away from him.I also had a feeling that he was probably talking about the way I have been acting all this while. I guess he has been noticing that I’ve been acting strange or he probably feels that I might know something about the reason the blackmailer came into the hotel room.“You should know what I’m talking about, Ingrid. I feel there’s something you’re hiding from me. If it’s something that’s so difficult to say, you can decide to tell me that there’s something you’ll like to tell me, but you need time to process it. I’ll understand.” Reece urged me.I was so tempted to tell him what was going on or to even give him a sign that I had something to tell him, but each time I remember when the blackmailer sent me a text about him having a gun, I become mute.I just can’t risk my life and Reece’ so it’ll be best for me to stay calm and know what e
61Alyssa’s Pov“Uhm… Alphas, is there anything wrong?” I asked, out of concern and anxiousness.I didn’t know if I had done something wrong that they were really angry about and I hoped that just wasn’t it.“No, there is nothing wrong. Except that you have work to do.” Ryan said as he walked up to me and pushed me on the bed.My towel came loose, but it wasn’t revealing my body and I was about to tuck it in back, but Ryan grabbed my hands and pulled me to sit up.“Please did I do something wrong? Forgive me.” I whimpered with my voice shaking.“You will do something wrong if you get me irritated, so shut the fuck up and sit calmly.” He raised his voice at me and I nodded.Suddenly, a knock came on the door and both Ryan and Reynold glanced towards the door.“Go get the door now.” Ryan said to me sharply and I nodded immediately and got up on my feet and walked to the door.I wished so much that this interruption was going to be one which would make them leave because they were making
