The Alpha's Unwanted Genius Triplets Second Chance Mate
NathanSunlight streamed into my father's lavish sickroom, lending false vigor to his gaunt features against the plush pillows.I prayed the dawn's radiance portended hope, not a cruel irony. Father had lingered languidly near death's door for weeks as his mysterious illness wasted his body relentlessly away, always rallying just long enough to kindle fragile hope before the next precipitous decline.But now, miraculously, in the scant handful of days since Terra's arrival, that dreaded pattern seemed to have reversed. No longer did Father lie motionless but for labored breaths, the stillness of a tomb except for the pestilent stench of decay permeating the heavy velvet drapes around his four-poster bed.Now he could sit upright unaided for short periods, lucid enough to hold fragmented conversation or sip broth and weakened tea. The pallid tinge to his skin showed early signs of healthy pink renewal. Even his silver mane and beard gleamed brighter, as if reflecting an inner vitality
The Alpha's Unwanted Genius Triplets Don't Touch Me
TerraThe scent of woodsmoke and crisp night air welcomed me as I slipped outside, escaping the estate's suffocating press of old ghosts and memories. My nerves sang with relief feeling open sky above instead of brooding antique woodwork and cloying velvet drapes shrouding the corridors.I sank gratefully onto the worn garden bench tucked against the rear veranda, angled to overlook the moonlit forest rolling unbroken to the distant sawtooth mountains.Out here I could breathe. The stifling weight of the past eased just slightly under vast stars winking down as they had my very first night fleeing this place heartbroken so long ago. Their celestial light remained untroubled by earthly turmoil.How foolish I had been, believing myself free of this torment. One imploring word from Nathan, and here I was again, willingly walking back into the lion's den. I should have known his earnest vows were temporary manipulations. Once I outlived my usefulness, he would discard me as coldly as befo
The Alpha's Unwanted Genius Triplets Wounded
TerraGolden dawn light filtering into the solarium made the crystal vials on my worktable glint and shimmer beautifully. But the radiance only darkened my brooding mood further. I should be feeling accomplished finalizing treatment plans today, my task here nearly complete.Instead, melancholy clung more suffocating than the estate's heavy velvet drapes. Each day brought me nearer to farewells I now dreaded making, despite resolve setting me on this course.A brisk knock interrupted my gloomy thoughts. At my call to enter, Derek stepped inside. I frowned slightly, registering his stiff posture and concerned frown. Something more than routine summons had brought him here."My apologies for disturbing you, Miss Terra." Derek ran a hand through his cropped hair, seeming uncharacteristically agitated. "But your...assistance...is required rather urgently."I tensed, chest constricting. Given the unspoken tension since my violent outburst, only one dire situation would warrant my direct ai
The Alpha's Unwanted Genius Triplets Old Friend
TerraThe morning sun streamed in through the open window, warming my face and coaxing me gently awake. I stretched lazily under the plush down comforter before rolling over to check the time. Nearly nine o’clock already.After the long night attending to Nathan, I had slept like the dead.Speaking of Nathan, I should check in on his recovery. I slipped out from under the covers and shuffled over to peer out the window overlooking the central gardens.Sure enough, I spotted a familiar tall, broad-shouldered figure slowly pacing the graveled path below. Even injured, Nathan was never one to stay idle in bed.I shook my head in amusement and slight exasperation at his stubbornness. At least the limp in his stride seemed less pronounced than yesterday.After quickly washing and braiding back my unruly waves, I threw on soft jeans and a rose peasant blouse before making my way to the east wing kitchens.The sprawling mansion was largely deserted this Sunday morning. With Nathan on the men
The Alpha's Unwanted Genius Triplets He Was Going Through a Lot
TerraFor the past days Lily has been taking me out, catching on old times.Like yesterday we went out today too.The setting sun cast an ethereal golden glow across the sky as Lilly and I strolled slowly back into town after our fun-filled day together.Despite the autumn evening chill setting in, warmth blossomed in my chest. Spending these precious hours with my dearest friend again after so long apart felt like a gift.Lilly chattered away happily, filling me in on the latest happenings around town and her family. I was content to simply listen, interjecting now and then with a laugh or question. Being around her lively, upbeat spirit never failed to lift my own mood.As we ambled down the quiet lamp-lit streets, our conversation drifted to reminiscing about carefree childhood adventures we once shared.Like the summer we were convinced we could fly, so we climbed up on the barn roof with makeshift feathered wings tied on. Thank the goddess our foolish eight-year-old selves only e
The Alpha's Unwanted Genius Triplets The ceremony
TerraThe entire penthouse was filled with the crème de la crème of werewolf society. Alphas from packs across the country had flown in to celebrate Nathan's 20th birthday and his official crowning as the new Alpha of our pack.I felt completely out of place among all these powerful, glamorous people. As an orphan without a family, I didn't have the fine clothes or fancy upbringing like the other girls here. But Nathan never cared about any of that. He had always treated me as his equal, his best friend, and now, his girlfriend.I glanced around nervously as I entered the party, hoping none of Nathan's snobbish relatives would give me a hard time tonight. A few of them shot me dirty looks, whispering behind gloved hands. They had never approved of Nathan's attachment to a poor stray like me. I lifted my chin, refusing to let their contempt shake my confidence. Nathan loved me, and that was all that mattered."Terra, you look beautiful!"I turned to see Lily, Nathan's cousin, waving at
The Alpha's Unwanted Genius Triplets Making her his
TerraI hummed to myself as I fried up bacon and eggs, the sizzling and popping of the oil providing a cheerful rhythm. Nathan's arms wrapped around my waist from behind, and he nuzzled into my neck."Smells delicious, babe," he murmured.I leaned back into his solid chest with a content sigh. "Only the best for the Alpha. Sit down, it's almost ready."We had been mated only two days, but it felt like we had always been together. I loved caring for Nathan, making sure he was well-fed and happy. Our small home glowed with newlywed bliss.As we ate breakfast, Nathan told me about the visiting Alpha couple from the Nightshade Pack he had to see off this morning. Important political obligations kept intruding on our honeymoon phase, but I didn't mind. I was proud to stand by my mate as he took on his leadership role."I wish I didn't have to rush off," Nathan said apologetically as he rinsed his plate. "But duty calls. Will you be alright on your own today?""Of course! Lily already invit
The Alpha's Unwanted Genius Triplets Another mate
TerraThe bell on the café door jingled as another customer walked in. I plastered a smile on my face, willing myself to get through another shift."Welcome to Sunbeam Café, what can I get started for you?" I recited in a chipper tone.The man rattled off his order, oblivious to my inner misery. I nodded politely and got to work making his latte. Just six more hours until freedom.I still couldn't believe this was my life now—slinging coffee and pastries at Moonbeam Café in the tiny town of Willow Creek. A far cry from my days as Luna back home. Here, no one knew who I was or cared about my tragic fall from grace. I was just Terra, the quiet new girl who kept to herself.And that was exactly how I wanted it. After Nathan so cruelly chose his mate over me, I had shifted into wolf form and run until I collapsed, desperate to escape the excruciating heartbreak. When I finally shifted back two days later, I found myself near the outskirts of Willow Creek, hundreds of miles from the Cresce
