"Three mates," Aria laughed, but there were tears in her eyes. "The universe must have a twisted sense of humor, giving an omega with trust issues three overprotective alphas." "Or maybe," Alexander suggested quietly, "it knew exactly what we all needed." Dr. Aria Bennett has built her life around helping others, working tirelessly as an emergency room resident despite the prejudices against omega wolves in medicine. But when false accusations from her former pack force her to flee, she never expects to literally fall into the arms of not one, but three mates - the legendary Stone triplets. Xeros, Alexander, and Carlo Stone aren't just any alphas - they're the most powerful trio of brother-alphas in wolf history. When they find their destined mate bleeding in the forest, their protective instincts surge. But Aria carries dark secrets, and trusting others has only led to betrayal before. As ancient poisons and modern dangers threaten to tear them apart, they must decide what matters more: the safety of walls built from past pain, or the risk of opening their hearts to an uncertain future. In a world where being an omega means being at the bottom, can Aria learn to stand as an equal beside three of the most dominant alphas alive?

‘I’m in t-trouble,’ I could see the fear in the eyes of my twin sister as she ran into my room and crouched down beside me.I had to drop the puzzle I was deeply engrossed in, giving her my full attention.
‘What’s wrong?’ I asked.
‘He is coming. I’m so scared. I didn’t mean for it to happen’ she let out the statements in short breaths and I needed no soothsayer to tell me that she was referring to my uncle.
I placed my hands on her shoulder, ‘don’t worry, you’ll be fine’
‘I won’t’ I watched her lips tremble in fear as she let out those words. And almost immediately we were startled by a loud sound as the door to my room was flung open.
My uncle stormed towards me and grabbed me roughly by my arm, my heart threatened to burst out of my chest as his fingers pressed against my skin, turning it reddish. He pulled me up harshly and dragged me towards the doorway. He then stopped and turned to my twin sister, ‘you! Wait here till we return. Take a step outside this room and you will regret the day you were given birth to’
‘Uncle…’ I could tell my twin sister wanted to mention that she was the person who committed the crime but I gestured to her—a sign she understood so well—that I was fine taking the punishment.
We were so identical, uncle never found out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few days later,
‘What is it?’ I mumbled groggily, I had just retired to bed a few minutes ago, when I felt taps on my leg.
‘Wake up! Hurry!” I heard my sister’s voice, once again laced with fear. She pulled my duvet and dragged me by my arm, leading me down the hallway and to the front of our uncle’s office.
I gave her a look of confusion. I wondered why she led me here knowing fully well that uncle gets riled up just by laying his eyes upon us.
My confusion heightened further w hen she pushed the door apart and motioned for me to be quiet, placing a finger in front of her lips, before walking further into the office.
She led me behind our uncle’s office desk and my eyes widened in horror when I saw uncle laying on the ground with blood oozing out of a large slit across his neck.
‘I-i don’t know what I’ve done, ' she let out in a whisper. And my gaze darted to the small pocket knife, stained with blood, on the ground just beside our uncle.
I crouched down, with my heart beating rapidly against my chest, I picked up uncle's arm which at that time was already cold. I knew deep down that there was no way he could survive that much blood loss, but I still hoped for a pulse. A sign that he was alive.
I couldn’t bear the thought of news getting out that uncle was murdered by his own niece, my sister. That was the only reason I hoped he was alive—just that.
But, just as I had expected, he didn’t survive it.
************
I could feel the gazes following my every movement as I strode down the cobblestone walkway that led to the ancient looking building where I was headed. It had been five years, I bet I hadn’t changed that much because these people could still recognize me even after such a long while.
I could hear hushed voices, I knew they were talking about me. The chatters came from the few wolves who lined the walkway that led to the pack house. They were probably surprised that I was back after the incident that led to my disappearance.
I kept a straight face and continued my journey down the walkway with my head held high and my back straight giving off the impression that their acts had little to no effect on me— which was true because in the years I had been away I had managed to work on myself to an extent where I wasn’t deterred by things like this.
My time in the human world was well spent. I saw my life crumble before my very eyes when I was exiled to the human world. I never imagined that I would be able to survive this long. Till I found a purpose there, a reason to keep on going and one that led me to gaining so much respect in the human world.
I became a doctor and that is what I did till I found a reason to return here. I spent my last few days in the human world gaining a broad knowledge of werewolf medicine.
I took the turn that led to the deserted road which signified that I was getting closer to my destination. I walked further, and soon the voices of the merchants faded away and all I could hear was the soft howling of the wind.
The chilly breeze raised goosebumps on my skin and I rubbed my palm against the pocket of my jeans as I was suddenly hit with a memory of one of the many nights I spent outside the pack house— a form of punishment issued by my uncle.
And here I was, five years later making my way into the pack house. I waited in front of the huge bronze gate. And a few minutes later the gate was opened. My grandmother’s dying wish was to see me one more time. I’m sure they were all aware of that.
I entered into the pack house and the first person I spotted was Sage, my twin sister. It had been five years, five long years. I walked up to her with a sober smile on my face. She must have been aware that I would be arriving today too.
I tried to embrace her but I was taking aback when I felt a strong force that threw me to the ground. Sage had just pushed me away, “don’t come near me, you this criminal!” She said, a hint of disgust in her tone.
I couldn’t hide the expression of hurt on my face, “Sage?” I had to call again, because I couldn’t believe my sister would treat me this way. It was impossible for her to forget me, the resemblance was so striking.
“Don’t mention my name. And don’t you dare look for me or come close to me or I will call the guards on you. I wouldn’t want to be seen associating with a criminal” she issued a firm warning before walking away.
“I can help you find your way” I heard a deep voice. I raised my head and saw his arm outstretched towards me. I grabbed his arm and helped myself to my feet.
“I’m Lucas, the alpha’s son” he said, sparing me a glance for a moment before turning his back, “follow me”
My heart warmed at the display of kindness from Lucas. And it didn’t help that he was also really handsome, which added to my admiration.
He led me to my grandmother’s room and walked away.
During the evening gathering organized for my grandmother, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the instinctual scent that I knew belonged to my mate. And I felt the urge to trace the scent.
It could only mean my mate was around. This could end my suffering. I traced the scent and found that it was stronger when I got close to Lucas and I even felt a strong feeling of attraction to him.
I got closer to where he stood and took his hands in mine, causing him to turn his attention to me, “you are my mate” I declared confidently.
I couldn’t miss the look on his face as he withdrew his hands from mine. “I am not your mate. I would rather have your sister as my Luna, you really don’t know your place” he thundered. “I reject you as my mate. I was only nice earlier because I needed to show you the way around. Don’t mistake my kindness for something else” he issued a warning. I felt a deep pant as I heard the words ‘reject’
“But, it just has to be” I tried again, there was no way I could be wrong. The connection was so strong.
It was at that point I realized that almost everyone present had their gazes on me and they threw me looks of mockery and disgust.
“Guards!” Lucas shouted and in a few seconds we were surrounded by a few pack guards, “Arrest her and lock her up in the prison.”
Aria's POV I decided to take the initiative this time. I wrapped my hands around his neck and kissed him giving him permission towards me. He didn't waste time in leaning towards the kisd and deepening it. His hands roamed around my body as we continue to kiss. It got intense and I could feel the heat coming from the both of us. We wanted each other and that was so true. It's even this bad now that I have my wolf that constantly wants to be with her mate. We found ourselves laying on the bed with his top off. I ran my hands through his toned body while his lips move around my neck giving me kisses, and then back to my lips again to continue the kiss. I was completely lost in everything and hoping this would go further until he stopped, hearing that someone coming from the door. I almost forgot we were in the living room I'm not even in a private space. If this house belonged to them his brothers might also walk in on us doing this and they probably won't be happy knowing they're le
Aria's POV Diane spent the whole day on her knees while I was made to watch her. I told the brothers I wasn't interested in watching her but they told me I could supervise her so she wouldn't do anything. So I told her to meal down in my room and I've been watching her since then. It's actually surprising to see that they would abandon her overnight just based on what I said to them. I don't care if they hate her or not, the main thing is that this would be able to subdue her for now. I'm just tired of having to deal with her all the time. If she's not going to listen, then she could continue to suffer this way until she comes to her senses. She looked very tired and weak, which made me a little bit confused. She used to be so energetic, but now it seems like mentioning her parents has taken away all the energy from her body. She just looks completely dejected. It's not completely over, though. Who would have thought torturing her would be much better than killing her? Would she t
Aria's POV Her parents? Of course I'm not going to do anything to them but I'm not going to guarantee if they'll be safe since she wants to kill me. I'm not a good person and so is she so we shouldn't pretend as if this is the first time one of us is lying against the other. Since she likes to play the victim so much, I'm just giving her a taste of what it feels like to pretend to be the victim. If she thinks she's more wicked than I am, she's completely wrong. Maybe I used to be very kind to people but now I am the exact opposite of what I used to be. When the brothers came back, I knew I had to do something to help myself even if they are going to find out that I lied to them later. What are they going to do about it? Their cousin just can't hold herself and stop bothering other people which is why I have to take care of her before she completely runs rampant. I stayed in the living room, holding my head like I had a headache. The moment they entered, they saw me, and I had alre
Diane's POV It hurts so much. My face hurts so much and it's all the fault of that bitch! I feel like my entire body is in pain while I'm trying to remember what happened last, and how I managed to get back to my room like this. It's not even my own room but still the maid's room that she forced to me to live inside. I tried to get up realizing that I couldn't remember much but I know she attacked me for talking to her. I'm going to make sure she pays for everything she's doing to me so far and I will make sure she doesn't become the Luna. She doesn't deserve it how could they even think of making her their Luna? What is going on in their heads exactly? Is it because she has something on them or is this just a reflex out of stupidity? I honestly don't know what to think about my cousins anymore. I feel like they are not the people I used to know, and they are now all under the influence of Aria. "Have you finally woken up or do you need more time for it?" I heard Carlo's voice. T
Aria's POV I could hardly sleep throughout the night from all the excitement. It was the first time in my life that I got nervous and excited at the same time. When I graduated from medical school, I wasn't even this excited. Now that I think about it, that was a difficult time for me. I looked forward to getting back home and didn't think of anything else other than pleasing everyone so my life could be so smooth. I looked forward to seeing my sister, thinking she missed me but couldn't come to see me for years. Only to find out that I was completely wrong. All that hope got shattered the moment I arrived. She never came because she just hated my guts and nothing more. She wanted me to suffer even though she made me pay for the crimes she committed. My uncle was troublesome and could have gotten his karma elsewhere. Now I know everything was planned by her from the beginning. I was just a pawn used by her. Either way things would have been this way if she didn't meddle with my li
Diane's POV I've been doing everything to obey that bitch, no matter how much she treats me badly and makes me feel like I'm useless, but I haven't disobeyed her because of the pain that I might feel when I do.I worked so hard all day, and I feel so tired. Yet I still follow her here because I didn't want to hear her get an excuse of complaining about my incompetence and anything. I even wanted to find something to use against her, which was the main reason I was following her around. But now she actually made me stay at the hospital to watch this idiot. What has whatever happened to him got to do with me? I don't even know what happened to him, but I'm guessing my cousins did this to him just to teach him a lesson.I felt so sleepy and unhappy, yet I couldn't do anything about it. I wanted to call my parents, but I knew they would complain about me being a disgrace and everything else. I only want to call them when it's a complete emergency and I have nowhere else to go.
