Carlo's POV

The music played loudly, echoing around the pool as the party went on. Women giggled and clung to me like they always did — desperate for a little attention. I leaned back on the chair, sipping my drink slowly, my golden eyes fixed on one person.

Aria.

I expected her to glance my way — to feel jealous seeing me surrounded by beautiful women.

But she didn't.

Instead, she walked away like I didn't even exist.

My jaw clenched.

What was wrong with her?

Every woman in this pack wanted to be close to me. They fought for a second of my attention... but not Aria.

My mate.

She didn't even spare me a single glance.

I watched her from afar as she changed direction, smiling and talking to some of the pack members like I wasn't even there. The sound of her soft laughter reached my ears, making something burn inside me.

How could she ignore me so easily?

I clenched the glass in my hand until it almost broke.

I needed to get away before I did something I'd regret.

I stormed into the rest

    Aria's POV I stared at the ceiling of my small room, replaying yesterday's events in my head.I shouldn't have asked Carlo to reject me.It was a mistake — an impulsive decision born out of anger. I think I completely lost my mind yesterday. Now I had made another enemy in this pack.I sighed, turning to my side.I came here seeking protection... not trouble. But somehow, trouble always found me. I got out of bed early, trying to push the thoughts away.The hospital was the only place I could feel useful — even if everyone hated me there.When I arrived, the judging eyes were already waiting for me.Whispers followed me like shadows."Criminal...""She must have seduced the Alpha...""How could someone like her be a doctor?"I pretended not to hear them.It wasn't the first time — and it wouldn't be the last.I kept my head down and went straight to the changing room, putting on my white coat.The day dragged on with nothing unusual. I cleaned wounds, prepared medicines, and checked

    Aria's POVThe coldness of the dungeon walls pressed against my back as I sat on the hard floor. The silence was deafening, only broken by the faint sound of water dripping from somewhere I couldn't see. My heart was heavy, and my mind was restless. I wanted answers, but all I could do was wait.Alexander stood in front of me with his arms crossed. His dark eyes stared at me without saying anything. The way he looked at me made my skin crawl. I didn't know what he was thinking, and that made me anxious. The silence stretched between us like an invisible rope, pulling at my nerves.Why wasn't he saying anything? If he wanted to torture me like this, he was doing a great job at it.Finally, after what felt like forever, he spoke."Tell me everything that happened... five years ago."I blinked in surprise, not expecting that question. I thought he would ask about the hospital incident—what happened with the poisoned girl. But instead, he went straight to the past—the past I tried so hard

    Xeros's POV"What? Aria is in trouble?"The moment I heard that Aria was imprisoned, a wave of anger rushed through me. My hands clenched into fists, and my claws threatened to come out. I couldn't believe they locked her up—after everything she did to save my life."Where is she?" I asked in a low, dangerous voice.Beta Liam stood in front of me, his head lowered in respect. He knew better than to test my patience right now."In the dungeon, Alpha.. Alpha Carlo seems to be the one who gave the order."Carlo.Of course, it was him. My brother's always making things difficult for me when I'm only trying to make things good for us. We already found our mate and we should be protecting her despite the odds. Why is he and Alexander doing this?Without wasting another second, I stood up from my chair."I'm going to see her."Liam quickly stepped aside, knowing better than to argue with me. But before I could take another step, Carlo appeared at the door with that annoying smirk on his fac

    Sage's POVI walked slowly through the long hallway, my heels clicking against the cold marble floor. My heart was racing with excitement, but I kept my face calm. Today was finally going to be the day Aria disappeared from this world—just like she should have five years ago.I pushed the heavy door open and walked into Lucas's office. He was sitting behind his desk, sipping from a glass of whiskey. His sharp green eyes flicked up at me, filled with curiosity."You're late," he said in his usual cold tone.I smiled sweetly, walking closer to him."I had to make sure everything was going as planned."Lucas leaned back in his chair, his gaze locked on me."And?""It's done," I said proudly. "I already sent someone to deal with her. She thinks she's safe in that pack, but they'll get rid of her soon."A dark smile spread across Lucas's face as he swirled the whiskey in his glass."Good."Hearing that word made my heart swell with satisfaction. Finally, Aria would be gone, and I would no

    Alexander’s POVXeros and I returned to our pack, our minds heavy with what had happened. The confrontation with Lucas had not gone as expected. He had not admitted to harming Aria, but his words and arrogance made it clear that he was involved somehow. Now, we needed proof—real evidence to show who was behind this setup.The moment we arrived, I wasted no time."Gather the hospital staff," I ordered our warriors. "I want every nurse, doctor, and worker who was there when the little girl was poisoned."Xeros stood beside me, his expression cold."They will lie," he said. "They will say whatever they have been told to say."I nodded. "Then we’ll make them tell the truth."Soon, the hospital staff arrived, standing in a line before us. Their faces were filled with fear, but not for the right reasons. They weren’t afraid of the lie they had told. They were afraid of being caught.I stepped forward, my voice calm but firm."You all know why you’re here. We are investigating what happened

    Aria's POV The cold stone walls of the dungeon had become my only companion in the past few days. The damp air smelled of rust and mold, making it hard to breathe. My wrists were sore from the heavy chains, and my body ached from the cold floor I had been forced to sleep on.I kept telling myself I had to be strong, that I couldn’t break. But deep inside, fear gnawed at my heart. Would I ever get out of here? Would Xeros or Alexander even believe me?I heard the sound of footsteps outside the cold prison walls, and my body tensed. I had been told that Xeros and Alexander would be coming to see me today. I thought maybe they would finally listen to me, hear my side of the story. But when the heavy door swung open, I was met with rough hands grabbing me instead."Get up," a guard barked, yanking me to my feet.I struggled to my feet, my limbs stiff and weak. The chains rattled as I moved."Where are you taking me?" I asked, my voice hoarse from days of silence.They didn’t answer. Inst

    Aria’s POVA soft breeze brushed against my skin, and I stirred, my body aching as if I had been trampled by a pack of wolves. My head throbbed, my limbs felt heavy, and for a moment, I couldn’t remember where I was. My eyelids fluttered open, and I stared at the unfamiliar ceiling above me. The room smelled of herbs and something faintly metallic—probably blood.Was I… dead?No. The dull pain in my body told me otherwise.I turned my head slightly, and my breath hitched when I saw someone sitting beside me. Not Alexander. Not Xeros.Carlo.I stiffened.Why was he here?My last memory was of Xeros and Alexander arriving at the execution grounds, stopping the elders from sentencing me to death. But now, instead of either of them, it was Carlo, sitting there like he belonged.“What the hell are you doing here?” My voice was hoarse, but my anger was sharp.Carlo smirked. "Good morning to you too, mate."I scowled. "Don't call me that."He leaned back in his chair, completely unbothered b

    Aria’s POVThe night was quiet, the air thick with the scent of pine and earth. The dim glow of the moon barely lit the path ahead as I walked silently through the packhouse halls. My heart pounded against my ribs, each step feeling heavier than the last.I knew this was dangerous.But I had to do it.After everything that happened, I couldn't just sit back and pretend like I was safe here. Not when I didn’t even know who was behind my suffering. If Sage and Lucas were the ones who set me up, I needed to find out the truth myself.Xeros wouldn’t let me go if I told him.That’s why I had to sneak out.Dinner with him earlier had been tense. He had requested I eat with him, and I knew better than to refuse. I sat at the table, eating in silence while he watched me with his usual unreadable gaze. He didn’t ask anything, didn’t say much—just told me to eat.It was as if he knew I was planning something.But he didn’t stop me.And now, here I was, slipping through the shadows like a thief.

    Aria's POV I couldn't sleep the entire night because I couldn't stop thinking of what happened to me yesterday. I kept turning around the bed. It was a bit embarrassing to see how I kept acting like a child and crying my eyes out because I got hurt. But maybe it worked?Xeros casually told me he loved me which was something I didn't expect. Maybe I'm just too stupid to see the signs around me. They started to care more about me than they usually would. Carlo even changed from his usual ways because of me and we've been having nothing but a slow burned romance. Now that Diane is here, things wouldn't be so easy for me. I think it's time for me to take matters into my own hands. I dressed up, ready to go to the hospital early. But looking at myself in the mirror, I realized why Diane might also be looking down on me. Maybe because I also didn't take myself seriously. I went to the door to open it, only to find Xeros waiting for me at the door. Memories of how we acted yesterday floo

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   Chapter 95

    Aria’s POVI stayed in the room without moving for hours. The silence felt heavy. My body was tired, but my mind was louder than ever. Everything that happened kept playing over and over again. Diane falling, her fake tears, her fake pain, her fake voice when she said I pushed her. And Xeros… the look in his eyes when he asked if it was true. That question hurt more than anything else.Why did he ask? Why did he need to ask? Didn’t he know me? Didn’t he trust me?I pulled the blanket around me tighter. My chest felt sore from crying, and my eyes were heavy. But sleep wouldn’t come. Not when my heart still ached this much.At least Carlo believed me. At least someone did.When I finally got the words out, when I told him everything, he didn’t question me. “She said I pushed her,” I mumbled into his chest. “But she was the one who pushed me. She just missed. And now… now it looks like I did it.”Carlo didn’t move. “Did Xeros believe her?”I didn’t answer.That silence was enough for hi

    Aria’s POVI never expected her to actually try it.One moment I was walking back to my room, still groggy from sleep and hoping to get a glass of water, and the next moment Diane was standing right in front of me at the top of the stairs—eyes wild, voice sharp, body full of bitter anger like she had been waiting just for me.What is she even doing home? I thought she was supposed to be at the hospital.I blinked at her, too tired to process anything right away. I didn’t even say anything at first. I just moved aside slightly, hoping to avoid any drama. I was still half-asleep, and my head was pounding from everything that happened the day before. But of course, Diane didn’t care about that.I was trying so hard to avoid her but she's not one to give up easily. No matter how I tried to push her away, she always continued to bother me. Telling me to pack my bags like she owned the place. Instead of staying at the hospital to help at a time like this, she chose to come home to exhibit

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   Chapter 93

    Diane’s POVI was still fuming from earlier. The way Alexander spoke to me… like I was just some extra they could send on errands while their precious Aria got to rest at home like a queen. It was ridiculous.I'm their cousin! I'm supposed to be the family they've known for a long time and they're defending that bitch over me?They defended her like their lives depended on it, like she hadn’t done anything wrong. She came into the picture unwanted! And now, I was the one being sent to the hospital.Why me?Even if I studied abroad to be a doctor, I still didn't think my precious skills should be used on a bunch of peasants.The moment I walked through the front door of the pack hospital, I wanted to turn around and go home. The place reeked of sickness and sweat. Nurses were running up and down, patients were groaning, coughing, wheezing. Some even looked half-dead. It was disgusting.I covered my nose with a silk handkerchief and walked fast through the hallway, keeping my eyes stra

    Alexander’s POVThe moment we saw her, I could feel my heart settle for the first time all night.But it didn’t last.She looked too calm. Like nothing happened. Like she hadn’t just disappeared without telling anyone where she went. Like we hadn’t spent the whole night tearing through Edgar’s pack, worried she had been hurt or taken.“What were you thinking?” I snapped before I could stop myself.Xeros stepped forward too, his arms crossed tightly over his chest. “Do you have any idea how worried we were?”Carlo didn’t even say anything at first. He just looked at her, like he couldn’t decide whether to yell or hug her.Aria stood there, blinking fast, as if she was trying to process all three of us coming at her at once. “I… I was going to come back,” she said quietly.Xeros laughed, but it wasn’t funny. “Yeah? do you know I almost completely lost my mind after we couldn't find you anywhere?”“I didn’t mean to fall asleep,” she said quickly, stepping back a little. “I finished chec

    Aria’s POVThe drive to Edgar’s pack was quiet.I sat in the front seat, staring out the window, arms crossed, and mind filled with thoughts. The road was mostly empty, and the silence between us grew heavier with every passing mile.I shouldn’t have come.That thought kept repeating in my head. Not because I didn’t want to help the sick—but because being around Edgar again made everything feel strange. Wrong. Complicated.But when we finally entered his pack land, I forgot all about my awkward feelings.Because what I saw shocked me.There were people everywhere—sick, coughing, lying on stretchers, some even placed in tents outside what looked like a crowded clinic. The air smelled like strong herbs and sweat. People moved around in a rush, doctors calling out instructions, nurses trying to calm crying children.It was like walking into a battlefield.“This is worse than I imagined,” I whispered under my breath.Edgar parked and got out quickly. I followed him, keeping my coat tight

    Aria’s POVI didn’t know what to feel in that moment. Should I be scared or should I be relieved since he didn't hurt me the last time we were together?I'm supposed to trust someone like him who goes in and out of this pack like it belongs to him. I don't even know what he's planning in his mind or what is going on in his head. Let's not forget the fact that he almost tried to hurt Xeros. I mean, he would have done something if Lucas didn't. “You shouldn’t be here,” I said finally, standing up slowly. “I told you never to come back. We told you. All of us.”His eyes didn’t shift. He looked the same—maybe a little more tired, but still him. That quiet, unreadable calm.“I know,” he said softly. “But I had to see you.”My brows pulled together. “Do you have any idea what could happen if Alexander sees you? He might actually kill you this time. And honestly, I won’t stop him.”Edgar looked down for a second, then stepped closer.“I’m not here to fight anyone,” he said. “I’m here becau

    Aria’s POVI shouldn’t have spoken to them like that.As soon as I walked into the surgery room and closed the door behind me, my chest felt heavy with regret. I leaned against the wall, letting out a long, tired sigh.Xeros and Carlo had come to see me earlier. I could still see the look on Xeros’s face when I told him to leave me alone. I could still hear Carlo calling after me with that worried tone in his voice.They didn’t deserve that. I was just angry, hurt and frustrated. But not at them.It was Diane. She only came not too long ago and she already made sure that she almost made my life a living hell. And I was so mad that I let her words push me to act like she was the one meant to be with them.But she wasn’t.They were mine. The Moon Goddess chose them for me. Not her. And yet I let her get under my skin again.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I would apologize when I got home. I would explain everything. No more misunderstandings. No more pushing them away.I would

  • TRIPLET ALPHAS' CINDERELLA DOCTOR   Chapter 88

    Xeros’s POVThe sun was high above our heads as Carlo and I walked around the pack. The heat stuck to my skin, and the dust from the ground clung to my boots.We had been hearing a lot of news lately. Strange news. About a sickness spreading through the pack these past few days.It wasn’t normal.Werewolves didn’t get sick like this. Even if we caught something, our bodies healed fast. Faster than humans could even imagine.But now?Now even the strongest wolves were lying in bed, sweating and coughing, looking weak like they’d been poisoned.Carlo pulled his shirt over his nose as we passed by another house where someone was sick.“This is getting worse,” he said quietly to me.I nodded, feeling a knot in my chest. “Yeah. It’s spreading faster than anything I’ve seen before.”We checked every house. Listened to every family.Most of them were scared. Some of them were hiding it, pretending they were fine, but we could see the fear in their eyes.“We’ll find a solution,” I said to one
