  • Owned by the triplet   The Private Booth

    The restaurant was tucked away down a quiet side street where the lights were dim and yellow. It looked like an old house that had been turned into something special. There were no people waiting outside, and the windows were covered with thick curtains.Emma stepped out of the car first, looking around the street before she held the door open for me. As soon as my feet hit the ground, Alaric was there, tucking my arm into his. Killian and Silas followed close behind, their eyes scanning every shadow.Inside, the air smelled like roasted garlic and expensive wine. A man in a suit met us at the door. He didn't ask for a name; he just bowed and led us toward the back. We walked past a few tables where people were talking in low voices, but we didn't stop until we reached a corner that was completely hidden.A heavy curtain was pulled back to reveal a large, round table inside a private booth. The seats were covered in soft leather, and the table was already set with plates

    The hour was up, and I was finally ready. I stood in front of the mirror, wearing a simple cream-colored dress that didn't rub against my healing ribs. I heard a light tap on the door, and Emma walked in. She looked me up and down, gave a tiny nod, and opened the door wider."They’re waiting," she said.When I reached the top of the stairs, I didn't even get to take the first step down. Killian was already there. Before I could say a word, he tucked one arm under my knees and the other behind my back."Killian! I can walk," I laughed, holding onto his shoulders."I don't care," he said. He started walking down the stairs as if I weighed nothing at all. "You've done enough walking for the month. Today, you don't touch the ground unless I say so."At the bottom of the stairs, Alaric was holding my long black coat open, waiting for me. Silas was already at the front door, holding it open with a wide grin."Is all this really necessary?" I asked as Killian set me

    By the time a week had passed, I was finally starting to feel like a person again. The bruises on my face had turned a light yellow, and I could breathe without my ribs sending a sharp pinch through my side. The best part, however, was that I was finally allowed to leave the bedroom without three men acting like I was made of thin glass.I was sitting at the small table in the kitchen, enjoying a piece of toast, when the triplets walked in. They were all dressed in casual sweaters and jeans, but they had that look on their faces—the one that meant they had been planning something behind my back."Good morning, Elena," Alaric said. He walked over and kissed the top of my head. "You look like you slept well.""I did," I said, looking at the three of them. "What’s going on? Why are you all looking at me like I’m a surprise present?"Silas grinned and leaned against the counter. "Well, we’ve been talking. Now that things have calmed down, we want to make sure you stay sa

    The medical room was quiet, except for the soft hum of the heater in the corner. I was propped up on a pile of pillows, feeling a bit like a doll that had been through a washing machine. My ribs were taped tight, and my face felt puffy, but I was alive.Alaric was sitting on the edge of the bed, carefully peeling an orange for me. Silas was at the foot of the bed, rubbing my feet with a calm look on his face, while Killian sat in a chair right next to my head. He hadn't stopped staring at me since we got back inside. It was like he was afraid I would disappear if he blinked."You need to eat the whole thing," Alaric said, handing me a slice of the orange. "The doctor said you need the vitamins.""I can feed myself, Alaric," I said, reaching for the slice."I know you can," he replied, but he didn't let go until I took it from his fingers. "But I like doing it. Let me have this."A soft knock came at the door. I expected it to be the nurse, but when the door pushe

    The air outside was cold. It was that early morning chill that gets right into your skin and makes you shiver. We walked toward the center of the square, and I could see the crowd already waiting. There were hundreds of them, maybe thousands. They were quiet, which was almost worse than the shouting. It felt like everyone was holding their breath.Alaric stopped at the edge of the open space. He turned to me and grabbed my arms. His hands were warm, but his face was like a mask."You don't have to do this," he whispered one last time. "We can leave. We can just go.""We talked about this, Alaric," I said. I tried to keep my voice from shaking. "I have to."Silas leaned down and pressed his forehead against mine. "Just remember what Jax told you. Don't try to be stronger than her. You aren't. Just be faster."Killian didn't say anything. He just squeezed my hand so hard my bones popped, then he let go. The three of them stepped back, taking their places near the f

    The walk back to the house was the longest of my life. My legs felt like they were made of lead, but the triplets were worse. They didn't speak a single word until we were behind the heavy front doors. As soon as the locks clicked, the silence broke."No," Killian said. His voice was a low growl that filled the hallway. "Absolutely not. I am going back out there and I am ending this right now.""You can't, Killian," Alaric said. He looked tired. He was rubbing his face with both hands, his skin pale under the hall lights. "If you kill her now, the pack will see it as a cover-up. They’ll think Elena really is too weak to lead. It would start a riot.""I don't care about a riot!" Killian shouted. He turned and kicked a heavy chair, sending it sliding across the room. "I care about her! Cora is a killer. She’s been trained to break bones since she could walk. Elena is a human!"I stood by the wall and watched them. It felt like I was watching a movie of my own life. Sil
