76: THE THIRD WHEELER

LUCIEN

Years Ago,

The moon was red tonight. Probably as red as my bleeding heart. Tonight, my best friend was getting mated with the woman I was in love with. Talk about cruel fate. It hurt me knowing that they were mates. And I was just the outsider. The third wheeler. But I trusted Alden. I knew how aggrieved he was, knowing he'd broken my heart. We'd drunk our hearts out a few hours ago, aware that tonight was the night that would change everything.

I was standing in the Hall of Ancients, the torches flickering as Anessa knelt before the altar. She wore white instead of the usual ceremonial red. White was her favourite colour.

Daxton was late. And that was strange, considering the fact that we'd just been together not too long ago.

Finally, he arrived, wearing white too. I hate to admit it, but he was too good-looking to be real. It was easy to see how easily he'd captured Anessa's heart.

He stepped into the temple, and the shadows followed him like loyal hounds. His eyes wer

  • The Tribrid Alpha’s Nemesis    78: MERCY AND KINDNESS

    ARYA I helped Daxton into a black shirt, sliding it gently over his feverish skin. His chest rose and fell in shallow breaths, and though the colour had started to return to his face, he was still far from steady. I brushed his hair away from his forehead, my fingers lingering for a few seconds. He leaned into my touch, just slightly. Then he caught himself and straightened. "You should rest," I said softly, afraid my voice might crack if I spoke louder. "Postpone the meeting." He didn't look at me. "I can't," he said, his eyes fixed on some invisible point beyond me. "That idiot is going to think I'm afraid of him." I scoffed, amused. Clearly he was feeling better if he still cared about his ego. But then, when he rose to his feet, his knees wobbled. I caught him by the arm, worried. He masked the weakness quickly, lifted his chin and pulled away from my grip even though I could clearly see his struggle. "Daxton—" "No," he cut in with a hoarse voice. "I'm fine." H

  • The Tribrid Alpha’s Nemesis    77: TOO TIRED TO FEEL

    ARYA I wept. Not just for myself but for Daxton, who'd carried such a suffocating weight since Anessa's death. I couldn't imagine how he was feeling. Everything he'd believed about her death had been nothing but a lie. A lie conjured by that two-faced bastard, Theron. I heaved into the toilet bowl again at the thought that I'd kissed and slept with him in ignorance. I felt dirty and undeserving of Daxton. If I could peel off my skin, I would. And Lucien... Gods, how broken he must be. If he hadn't given Daxton that drink...we could have avoided all of this. And yet, he'd been among the people who'd dragged Daxton to his ruin. I hated him. But, at the same time, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He was just a pawn after all. Just like me. I struggled to my feet, flushing my mess. I grabbed some mouthwash, gurgling absentmindedly. My mate must be in so much pain. Almost everyone around him had either been used against him or betrayed him. My heart hurt for him. This was

  • The Tribrid Alpha’s Nemesis    75: THE FRAGILE ONE

    DAXTON I tucked her in gently, brushing her hair away from her beautiful face. Then I leaned over to press a gentle kiss to her forehead. I didn't know what exactly had happened that made her pass out. But it was a relief to know that she wasn't in danger. It was also a bigger relief to know that the walls between us had come crashing down. So much that she'd been willing to let me feed on her. I let my gaze roam over her stunning features. Her long lashes were wet and she looked so vulnerable... too small for all the wars she'd fought and the ones still coming. Gods, I wanted to climb in beside her. But my mind was still hazy from bloodlust. She needed rest. So, I slipped out of the room and shut the door behind me, quietly. My study smelled like old books and burning sage. I hadn't been in this house for almost a year. Soren was waiting by the window, gazing at the night sky, sipping something from my favourite mug. "You're drinking from my 'I bite' mug." "Well, you pret

  • The Tribrid Alpha’s Nemesis    74: MY OTHER HALF

    ARYA My hands shook violently as I traced my fingers along the scars hidden underneath his tattoos. I couldn't stop the tears. He just sat there, watching me grieve, his eyes filled with pain. So much pain. "Does it hurt?" I whispered, and he gave me a sad smile. "Not right now," he replied, and my heart sank. "Why? It doesn't make sense that I would do something so inhumane to you unless...unless you were my enemy..." I croaked. "You didn't have a choice. You weren't strong enough. You were just a pawn in his hand," he told me and I looked up at him, blinking back my tears. "Who? Theron?" He stared at me for a few seconds as though he was worried that I wouldn't be able to bear the truth. "It was him," I uttered, my voice laced with utter disbelief. I pulled away from him, tears running down my cheeks. Right then there was a knock on the door. Daxton rose to his feet and unlocked the other cuff on my wrist. "She's here," he said, and I frowned, confused. Just then

  • The Tribrid Alpha’s Nemesis    73: THE SAME SCARS

    ARYA I awoke with a loud gasp, jerking upright, only to freeze when the cold bite of metal dug into my wrists and ankles. I was cuffed to the bedposts. What the hell? Panic kicked in, only to double when I saw him. Daxton. He was curled up beside the bed, his head resting by my side like he belonged there. His eyes were closed, his breathing slow and even. The bastard was asleep. My heart pounded against my ribs. This had to be a joke. It was clear that he'd kidnapped me. Bloody hell, I'd been stupid to nearly get swayed by his sugary words. I'd unexpectedly met Theron at Maren's place. Apparently, she called him because she couldn't reach me. I couldn't believe I'd turned off my phone for this blue-eyed jerk. Now here I was, shackled like some villain's pet project while he slept peacefully beside me. Unbothered. Smug. Still infuriatingly gorgeous. There was no way in hell I was going to let him enjoy that nap. So, I decided to be noisier, yanking at the chains r
