Viene’s POV

I avoided all three of them for the rest of that day. Nathan sent word through a guard that dinner would be held for me if I wanted it; I didn’t. Neil left a note under my door about a translation he’d finished; I didn’t read past the first line.

Nolan didn’t send anything at all.

Somehow that bothered me more than the others.

I couldn’t sleep after the training room. Around midnight I gave up trying and sat by the window instead, watching the dark line of trees at the edge of

  • Rejected by My Mate, Claimed by the Triplet Alphas    Chapter 66: Memory Work Begins

    
Viene’s POV Neil called the meeting himself this time, all four of us in the study, no secrecy left to hide behind. “I want to try directed memory exposure,” he said. “Not the disc from before. Something more controlled. I’ve found a technique referenced in the second file, a way to guide the Vault toward a specific fragment instead of letting it choose what to show us.” Nathan’s mouth tightened before he’d even finished the sentence. “Absolutely not.” “You don’t get a vote on this one,” I said. “Not after the training room. Not after everything you said about wanting me to stop hiding what scares me instead of hiding from it.” “There’s a difference between facing fear and walking straight into something that gave you a nosebleed the last time you tried it.” “The last time, I didn’t know what I was doing. Neil does now.” “You said that about the first file too. And the second.” “I know. I’m still choosing it.” Nathan didn’t answer right away, mouth working, and for a moment

Viene’s POV I avoided all three of them for the rest of that day. Nathan sent word through a guard that dinner would be held for me if I wanted it; I didn’t. Neil left a note under my door about a translation he’d finished; I didn’t read past the first line. Nolan didn’t send anything at all. Somehow that bothered me more than the others. I couldn’t sleep after the training room. Around midnight I gave up trying and sat by the window instead, watching the dark line of trees at the edge of the property, and let my mind do the thing it had been avoiding all week. I thought about Nathan’s hand on my shoulder in the corridor after the border collapse, steady in a way that had nothing to do with comfort and everything to do with wanting. I thought about the training room tonight, the space between us that neither of us had closed, charged with something I still didn’t have a clean word for. Then I thought about Neil’s voice in the archive, low and careful, reading a two-hundred-year

  • Rejected by My Mate, Claimed by the Triplet Alphas    Chapter 64: Alone with Authority

    
Viene’s POV The room Nathan chose wasn’t the study, or his office, or anywhere with a desk between us. It was the old training room, empty at this hour, mats still rolled against the far wall from whatever drill he’d run that morning. “Why here,” I asked. “Because every other room in this house has a table in it, and I’m tired of talking to you across furniture.” I didn’t have an answer for that, so I sat down on the low bench along the wall instead, and he stayed standing, arms crossed, like he needed the height advantage to say what he’d brought me here to say. “I want you to stop,” he said. “The memory work. The archive. All of it.” “That’s not why I came.” “I know that’s not why you came. I’m telling you anyway, because I’ve spent three weeks watching it take pieces of you and I’m done pretending I have to be quiet about it just because Neil found a channel first.” “It’s not taking pieces of me. It’s giving me answers.” “From where I’m standing, it’s taking something fro

  • Rejected by My Mate, Claimed by the Triplet Alphas    Chapter 63: Nathan Finds the Gap

    
Viene’s POV Nathan found out the next morning. Not by accident. He’d pulled the perimeter communications log himself, cross-referenced it against the archive access records, and traced an outbound transmission three weeks old back to a terminal only Neil used. By the time he came to my room, he already had the timestamps memorized. “Three weeks,” he said, closing the door behind him. “You’ve known about the Vantrell channel for three weeks. I found out this morning because I finally thought to check who’d been talking to a foreign archive without my authorization.” “That’s between you and Neil.” “It’s not, actually. Because you sat in that room with him last night reading pages I’ve never seen, and you didn’t tell me either.” “You made a rule about reporting. Go enforce it on the person who agreed to it.” Something moved across his face, there and gone, and I understood I’d just handed him exactly the direction he wanted to go. He found Neil in the archive twenty minutes late

  • Rejected by My Mate, Claimed by the Triplet Alphas    Chapter 62: Deeper File

    
Viene’s POV Neil got the second page three days later, late at night, and came to find me instead of waiting until morning. “It’s not everything,” he said, setting the folder down between us in the archive. “But it’s more than the first page. Once you’ve read it, there’s no version of not knowing it anymore.” “I understand.” “I wanted to be here when you read it instead of handing it to you alone.” I opened the folder myself this time. He didn’t stop me. The first section was less censored than anything I’d seen before, whole paragraphs intact, the handwriting different from the earlier pages — older, more formal, the ink darker like it had been preserved with more care. The Lock does not form around a single mate. This is the first misunderstanding every generation makes, and the one that costs the most to unlearn. It forms around a structure. A woman becomes the center point, and the pathways extend outward not to one man but to as many as the pattern requires to stabilize.

  • Rejected by My Mate, Claimed by the Triplet Alphas    Chapter 61: Report to Nathan First

    
Viene’s POV Nathan called the meeting before breakfast, which told me how little sleep he’d gotten after the archive. “New rule,” he said, standing at the head of the table instead of sitting. “Everything from last night, everything going forward — every file, every fragment, every reading off the Seal — comes to me first. I review it. Then I decide what reaches her.” “We already tried that,” I said. “It didn’t work.” “It worked well enough that I knew about the file before you did last time. This time I want it earlier. Before the session, not after.” I looked at Neil, expecting the same fight he’d given Nathan over the first file. It didn’t come. “I’ll report everything to you first,” Neil said. “Effective today.” I stared at him. “Neil.” “It’s fine, Viene.” “You spent a week arguing that information belongs to me as much as to him.” “I still believe that. I’m agreeing to the structure, not agreeing that it’s right.” His eyes flicked to Nathan, then back to me, something
