HUNTER'S POV

I woke to someone shaking my shoulder.

"Get up. Dawn meditation starts in ten minutes."

I opened my eyes. Brother Marcus stood over me, already dressed in white robes.

"Dawn what?"

"Meditation. Everyone attends. You're everyone now." He dropped a folded white robe on my chest. "Put this on. Leave your other clothes here."

He left before I could argue.

I sat up, looking at the robe. Plain white cotton. Simple. Nothing like the clothes I'd worn my entire life—clothes that marked me a

  • Puck Destiny : A Triplet's Claim   127

    Hunter's POV My wolf went quiet. Even he understood we'd fucked up badly enough that groveling was required.By the time I had fifteen bundles stacked, my arms ached and my hands were bleeding from splinters. The sun was high overhead—almost noon.Now for the hunting and gathering.Hunting would be easy. I was built for it. Trained for it. My wolf lived for the chase.I shifted despite Elder Thaddeus's suggestion to stay human. Found a deer trail quickly. Tracked the scent. Found a young buck drinking from a stream.The kill was clean. Quick. I shifted back to human, hoisted the deer over my shoulders, and carried it back to the designated area near the sanctuary.That part felt right. Felt natural. Felt like what an Alpha should be doing—providing meat, protecting, hunting.Then I picked up the basket and headed toward the berry patch.Gathering berries.I stood at the edge of the blackberry bushes feeling ridiculous. The basket looked absurd in my hands. The white robe was already

Nothing like the clothes I'd worn my entire life—clothes that marked me as future Alpha, as Blackwood, as someone important.Seth groaned from the other bed. "Please tell me he didn't just say meditation.""He did." Zane was already changing, practical as always. "When in Rome.""This isn't Rome. This is some kind of werewolf monastery." Seth held up his white robe like it might bite him. "Do we really have to wear these?""Elder Thaddeus said no special consideration. We follow the rules like everyone else." I stood and started changing. "That means white robes."I

    ZANE'S POV The bread timer went off. I checked the dough. It had risen properly this time. "Shape it and put it in the oven with everything else." I shaped the loaves—still blobby but better than before—and slid them into the oven. Thirty more minutes until everything was done. I leaned against the counter, exhausted. "You're doing well," Inka said. "I've made mistakes at every single step." "But you kept going. You didn't give up." She slid off the counter and touched my arm. "That's what matters." The mate bond hummed at her touch. Warm. Right. "What if the food is terrible?" I asked. "Then it's terrible. But you made it yourself. Put in the effort. Tried something you've never done before." She smiled. "That counts for something." "Tell that to everyone when they're spitting out burnt chicken." "It's not burnt. You put foil on it. Eventually." "I ruined the skin." "The inside will be fine." I hoped she was right. The final timer went off. Everythin

    ZANE'S POVI stood outside the kitchen door, staring at the assignment sheet in my hand.(Dinner preparation for the entire community. Menu: herb-roasted chicken, root vegetables, fresh bread, berry compote. Report to Sister Leah at 3 PM. Meal served at 6 PM.)Three hours to cook a meal I'd never made for fifteen people who'd been eating Sister Leah's excellent cooking for weeks.This was going to be a disaster.Behind me, I heard Hunter and Seth laughing in the guest quarters. They'd both finished their assignments for the day—Hunter's morning of firewood gathering and berry picking, Seth's afternoon teaching the children.Both had been humiliating failures, according to them.Now it was my turn.I pushed open the kitchen door.Sister Leah was already there, ankle propped up on a stool, ingredients laid out on the counter. She looked up when I entered."Ready to cook?""No. Absolutely not. I'm going to poison everyone.""Not with that attitude, you won't." She gestured to the ingredi

    SETH'S POVLunch was almost over when Elder Thaddeus approached me."Seth. This afternoon you'll be teaching the children."I looked up from my meal. "Teaching what?""Reading, writing, basic mathematics. Sister Leah needs to rest her ankle. You're taking over afternoon lessons.""I've never taught children before.""Then you'll learn." Elder Thaddeus walked away, conversation over.Across the table, Hunter smirked. He was covered in dirt and scratches from his morning assignment—firewood gathering and berry picking. "Good luck with that.""How hard can it be? They're just children.""You have the patience of a starving wolf. This should be entertaining.""I have plenty of patience."Hunter's smirk widened. "We'll see."---After lunch, I found the children gathered in the learning area—a covered outdoor space with benches and a chalkboard.Seven children. Ages six to twelve. How difficult could seven children be?Very difficult, apparently.The twins, Liam and Lucas, were throwing ro

    After breakfast, Elder Thaddeus announced work assignments."Hunter, you're with Brother Marcus in the gardens. Heavy labor. Tilling, planting, hauling soil."Hunter nodded."Seth, you're with Sister Claire. Laundry and cleaning."Seth's eyebrow twitched but he didn't argue."Zane, you're with Ruth. Medical supply inventory and organization."Zane glanced at Ruth, who looked like she'd just been sentenced to torture."Inka," Elder Thaddeus continued. "You'll continue your regular schedule. Meditation with me. Cooking lessons with Sister Leah. Time with the children.""I don't get to work with them?""No. They're here to prove themselves to the community, not just to you. You observe. You watch how they handle service, humility, contribution. You don't help them."It felt cruel. But I understood the logic.I spent the morning in meditation while Hunter sweated in the gardens. I could feel him through the bond—frustration, physical strain, determination.Brother Marcus didn't go easy on
