Enzo’s POV

The moon hung high above the trees by the time Thalia and I returned to the pack borders. Our fur still glistened with sweat and moonlight from the run. I hadn’t felt that light in years. Maybe not since before I took the title of Alpha. Certainly not since things fell apart between Thalia and me.

She didn’t speak as we walked back toward the stone path that led to the pack house, but she didn’t need to. Something had shifted between us. She had let me in. Even for just a night, that was enough.

The instant we crossed the threshold into the courtyard, the world reminded me I was still Alpha. And that peace was temporary.

Elder Madoc stood by the front entrance, hands clasped tightly behind his back, face pinched like someone had poured vinegar down his throat. Beside him, the other council elders—three in total—waited with stiff backs and even stiffer expressions.

Thalia peeled off toward the guest wing without looking back. I didn’t stop her.

  • Stepbrother’s Obsession: Claimed By The Triplet Alphas   Thalia POV

    The word lead echoed through my skull all night like a curse I wasn’t sure I deserved.The chamber was darker than usual, the torch in the hall burning low. I sat on the cot with the sword balanced across my lap, tracing the scars on the wood with bandaged fingers. My ribs ached every time I breathed too deeply, but it was the silence pressing hardest on me.I whispered the names again. Not to punish myself this time, but to remind myself. To hold them close, even if the weight cut me open.When the door creaked open, I was already on my feet.Not guards this time. Isabella.She didn’t enter—never did. She filled the doorway like iron poured into human form, gaze sharp enough to pierce through the dark.“Today,” she said, “you don’t fight alone.”The words slotted into me like a blade between ribs. My grip tightened on the sword.“I’m not ready,” I rasped before I could stop myself.Her expression didn’t change. “That isn’t my concern.”Then she turned. “Bring them.”---They shoved f

    The night before the fight stretched long and sharp, a wire pulled taut across my chest.I didn’t sleep. Couldn’t.The cot might as well have been a slab of stone. My ribs ached with every breath, my hands throbbed in time with my heartbeat, and the memory of the wooden sword clattering from my grip replayed over and over until it stopped being memory and became prophecy.Tomorrow, I would fall.The chamber was silent except for the occasional drip of water somewhere in the stone. The sword leaned against the wall within reach. My eyes kept drifting to it. Not because it offered comfort—it didn’t—but because it was proof. Someone had put it there. Someone thought I might still use it.That was the part that dug under my skin.Someone believed I wasn’t finished.I wanted to laugh at the thought, but my chest seized when I tried. The sound came out broken, jagged.So instead, I reached. My fingers brushed the hilt, tentative at first, then firmer. The bandages on my palms split a little

    The dirt clung to my skin even as the world slipped away. I didn’t faint so much as my body forced itself into silence, like shutting down was the only way to keep me from shattering.When I woke, the stone ceiling swam above me. My throat burned with thirst, my stomach cramped with hunger, and every inch of me ached as if my bones had been replaced with rusted iron. The cot beneath me was stiff, but it was still the first surface in days that wasn’t dirt or stone. The blanket tangled around my legs like a restraint.For a long time, I lay there. Breathing. Just breathing.My hands, bandaged poorly by someone who clearly didn’t care about the stitching of flesh, throbbed in sync with my heartbeat. The blisters had burst open again and again until my palms were one raw map of pain. Whoever wrapped them didn’t bother with ointment. The bandages smelled faintly of iron and sweat.The door creaked open before I could pull myself upright.Luca. Again. Of course.He leaned against the frame

    The shovel slid from my hands.The clang when it hit the dirt rang through the yard like a bell, sharp enough to turn heads. My arms dangled uselessly at my sides, muscles twitching with tremors I couldn’t stop. I wanted to pick the damned thing back up, to prove I wasn’t done, but my fingers wouldn’t obey me anymore. They curled into bloody claws, nails clogged with soil, palms shredded raw.Luca loomed nearby, arms crossed, waiting for me to collapse so he could sneer, I told you so.I didn’t give him the satisfaction. I braced my knees, forced my back straight, and stared at the half-turned ground. The sun had bled away, leaving streaks of purple and gold in the sky, and shadows stretched long across the yard. The air cooled, but inside my chest, a furnace raged.One more day. Tomorrow, I’d finish.A laugh carried across the training yard—one of the warriors, perched against the wall with his friends. “Look at her. Shaking like a leaf.”“Leaves don’t bleed like that,” another mutte

  • Stepbrother’s Obsession: Claimed By The Triplet Alphas   Thalia POV

    Sleep was a stranger.They’d shoved me into a small, stone-walled chamber near the barracks. No window, just a narrow slit where moonlight managed to slip through and paint the floor in a pale streak. A cot sat in the corner, thin blanket folded with military precision, but my body refused to surrender to it.Every time I closed my eyes, ghosts rose to greet me. Faces I’d buried. Names I’d never forget. Isabella’s voice—sharp, cold, laced with steel—echoed in my skull. You’ll never have what you once did.I didn’t deserve the cot, or the blanket, or the air filling my lungs. I knew that. Still, I sat hunched on the edge of it, hands twisted tight, listening to the faint sounds of the pack outside. Their laughter. Their footsteps. Their lives. Lives I’d poisoned.When the first cracks of dawn slipped through the slit in the wall, I rose. My legs felt like stone, but I forced them to move. Today was the day. Penance, she had called it. Punishment, I knew.The door slammed open before I

    The weight of my own words lingered in the air, heavy as stone. You’ll stay. The sentence should have felt like victory, like reclaiming power after years of betrayal. Instead, it sat bitter on my tongue.Behind me, I heard the faint scrape of Thalia’s boots as she shifted, uncertain whether she was allowed to breathe, much less speak.I turned slowly, eyes sharp as blades. “Don’t mistake silence for safety. You’re here because I’ve chosen to keep my enemy where I can see her—not because I’ve forgotten what you are.”Her lips parted, a fragile thing. “I understand.”I narrowed my eyes. “Do you? You’ll eat when I say, work where I say, and sleep under guard until I decide otherwise. My people will look at you and see a viper in their house. And if you so much as blink in a way I don’t like, I won’t hesitate to end this arrangement.”Her hands clenched at her sides, but her voice was steady. “That’s more than I deserve.”I hated her composure. Hated that she didn’t rise to my cruelty, d
