Silas POV

The jewelry store was just the start. I could tell Elena was still inside her own head, thinking about secrets and things I wasn't ready to talk about yet. I needed to change her focus. I needed her to understand that being a Blackwood wasn't just about surviving attacks or dealing with my crazy father. It was about power.

Instead of going back to the estate where Isabella was lurking like a bad smell, I told the driver to head to the city center.

  • Owned by the triplet   Blood combat

    Elena POVThe shadows in the woods were thick, moving like living things between the tall trees. A woman was running ahead of me. I couldn't see her face, but her dark hair was flying wild behind her as her bare feet slapped against the cold dirt. She was panting, her breath coming in ragged, terrified gasps. Behind her, the deep, terrifying growls of giant wolves echoed through the dark night. They were hunting her, closing the distance with every single second. One giant black wolf leaped out from the bushes, its white teeth bared, jumping straight at her throat."No!" I screamed, my voice tearing through the quiet room as my eyes snapped open.I sat up fast in the large bed, my chest heaving up and down as I pulled the blankets tightly against my front. My heart was thumping violently against my ribs, and my forehead was wet with cold sweat. The dream felt so real, so vivid, that I could still smell the wet dirt and the scent of wild animals lingering in the air.

  • Owned by the triplet   The Watchtower border

    Elena POVThe freezing air bit at my cheeks as Killian’s motorcycle tore through the narrow dirt tracks of the northern woods. I wrapped my arms around his broad waist, burying my face into his back to block out the flying mud and ice. After the drama of the gala and the confrontation with his father, my mind had been spinning. Killian must have felt it through the bond, because an hour after the guests left, he tossed me a warm black sweater and told me we were going for a run."Just a little further, sweetheart!" Killian shouted over the roar of his bike.The trees grew thicker, their branches heavy with snow. We were miles away from the estate, approaching the edge of the territory where the mountains began to rise.The sky turned a dark purple, and a blinding winter storm hit us. The wind howled through the trees, blowing thick sheets of ice across our path. The bike fishtailed on a patch of slick mud, but Killian kept his massive arms steady, planting his boots

  • Owned by the triplet   Audacity in the Garden

    Elena POVThe heavy noise of the ballroom was starting to give me a headache. After the fight on the dance floor, everyone kept staring at me, whispering behind their hands every time I walked past. I needed a break from the heat and the bright lights. I slipped out through the side glass doors, stepping onto the quiet stone path that led into the estate gardens.The night air was cool, carrying the sweet scent of the large rose bushes that lined the walkway. The weight of the gold gown made it hard to walk fast, the metal threads clicking softly against each other as I moved further into the darkness. I finally stopped near a large white bench, letting out a long, tired breath as I rubbed my temples."You have a lot of nerve running off into the dark alone after what you did inside," a cold, harsh voice called out from the shadows.I straightened my back, turning around slowly. Alpha Malikai stepped out from behind a tall hedge. He was leaning heavily on his cane, h

  • Owned by the triplet   The Flash of Amber

    Elena POVThe grand ballroom was packed with people now. Hundreds of Lycans dressed in fine suits and long dresses filled the space, their voices creating a loud hum under the bright lights. The heavy gold gown I wore felt like a solid weight on my shoulders, every step I took requiring a conscious effort. I could feel all their eyes on me. Some looked curious, some looked respectful, but many looked at me with cold disapproval. To them, I was just a weak human girl who had somehow trapped their three Alphas."Just breathe, Elena," Silas whispered in my ear as we stood near the edge of the large wooden dance floor. His hand was warm against the small of my back, right over the heavy gold threads. "You are doing perfectly. Look at them. They are completely captivated by you.""They look like they want to tear me apart, Silas," I said quietly, keeping my smile fixed for the crowd."They wouldn't dare," Killian growled from my other side. He was dressed in a sleek black

  • Owned by the triplet   The golden Gown

    Silas POVThe grand ballroom of the estate was completely ready. I stood by the long banquet table, adjusting the small silver candle holders and checking the placement of the heavy plates. Tonight was the night. I had poured millions into organizing this gala, and nothing was going to ruin it. Elena was finally being presented to the entire Blackwood pack as our undisputed Queen."You are making a massive mistake, Silas," a cold, rough voice boomed from the doorway.I didn't even have to turn around to know who it was. My father, Alpha Malikai, walked into the room, his gray-bearded face twisted into a bitter frown. He leaned heavily on his cane, his eyes scanning the golden decorations with total disapproval."She is a human," Malikai spat, stepping closer to me. "The council expects a purebred Lycan heir to secure our bloodline. You and your brothers are throwing away our family's reputation for a girl who doesn't even know our history."I turned slowly, fixin

  • Owned by the triplet   The Performance

    Elena POVThe heavy silence returned to the room as soon as Emily finished checking her messages. She set the phone down on the small table beside her bed, her movements slow and careful because of her bad shoulder. I sat perfectly still in my chair, the folded piece of paper inside my pocket feeling heavier by the second.I needed to ask her. The triplets would be back soon, and I couldn't let them walk in while this secret was still hanging between us."Emily," I said, my voice quiet but steady.She turned her head to look at me, her blonde hair falling around her pale face. "Yeah, Elena? What's wrong? You still look really tense."I reached into my pocket and pulled out the typed note. I didn't hand it to her right away. I just held it up so she could see the clean white edges of the paper. "I found this in your jacket pocket when I went to look for your phone."Emily froze. The small, tired smile completely vanished from her lips. Her eyes widened, her ga

  • Owned by the triplet   The Secret Baby Hint

    I woke up in my own bed, but I didn’t remember getting there. The last thing I remembered was the sound of rain hitting a tin roof in Killian’s arms. Now, the morning light was peeking through my thin dorm curtains.I sat up, my head spinning. I looked at the door. It was locked from the insi

    I stayed in the library until the very last second before closing. My phone had been buzzing in my pocket for hours, but I refused to look at it. I knew what was waiting for me. Missed calls from Silas. Texts from Killian.I just wanted to be a student again. I had a huge midterm in Constitut

  • Owned by the triplet   The Golden Cadge

    I was sitting on the edge of my bed, staring at the large black box that had been delivered to my dorm an hour ago. It was heavy, and the ribbon was real silk. I didn't have to guess who it was from. I pulled the small card out of the envelope and felt my heart skip a beat.Wear this at seven

  • Owned by the triplet   Academic Discipline

    I woke up with a start, the sunlight hitting my face much later than it was supposed to. I scrambled for my phone and groaned when I saw the time. I was late. Not just a little late, but "Professor Blackwood is going to kill me" late.I didn't even have time to think about Killian or the weir
