Elowen's POV

It was midnight.

He was sleeping.

I was looking at him.

The moonlight spilled through the sheer curtains, casting silver shadows across Ranon’s face. His usually sharp features had softened in sleep—his jaw unclenched, his lips parted slightly, and his lashes fluttered against bruised skin. A scrape marred his cheekbone, still red and raw. Bandages were wrapped tightly around his left hand, the stark white of the gauze standing out against the golden tan of his skin.

He looked peaceful. Vulnerable, even. A rarity in someone like him—so fierce, so proud.

But tonight, he had bled for me. Fought for me.

I couldn’t sleep. My thoughts kept spiraling, replaying everything that had happened. The confrontation, the blood on his knuckles, the fury in his eyes. The way he’d tried to hide it from me. The way he winced when I touched his hand.

Quietly, I leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss to his forehead. His skin was warm beneath my lips.

“I’m sorry,” I whispered, though I wasn

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   Finally. Let’s see the infamous Ranon in action. The golden boy.

    Elowen's POV The energy in the training hall was a suffocating weight. It hummed, vibrated, thrummed with a palpable tension, sharp and insistent, like the very air just before lightning rends the sky. I could feel it the moment I stepped into the arena, a prickling awareness on my skin. Whispers, light as dust motes but sharp as obsidian shards, followed me, a relentless, pervasive hum that seemed to thicken the air around me. It wasn’t just about sparring today—it was about them. About me. About the Triplets. About Caelum. About the new, unsettling heat in the academy’s ancient bloodline war, a silent, volatile conflict that had suddenly erupted into the open. And now, Ranon was stepping into the ring. Each deliberate scrape of his boots across the polished stone floor echoed in the sudden, expectant silence. His academy shirt, usually so pristine, clung to his powerful body, damp with sweat from the preceding drills, the crisp white wrap around his right hand stark and angry-loo

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   Afraid of what true power looks like, untamed.

    Elowen's POV Next day the air in the training hall was different. It crackled, thick with an almost palpable tension, sharp with an unspoken energy. It was like the oppressive stillness just before lightning cleaves the sky, or the drawn-out breath before an explosion. I could feel it, a prickling sensation on my skin, the moment I stepped into the vast, echoing arena. Whispers, light as dust motes but sharp as obsidian shards, followed me like an invisible trail. Whispers about the triplets, about Caelum, about the rooftop kiss, the scandalous intimacy. My name, once so singularly my own, felt now to be on everyone's lips, no longer belonging solely to me, but fragmented, claimed. I wasn’t just “Elowen” anymore. I was hers—the girl with the dangerous blood, the one who attracted trouble like a moth to flame. I was theirs—the triplets’ shared obsession, their precious charge. And I was his—Caelum’s enigmatic interest, his destined flame. It depended entirely on who you asked, on w

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   I’m trying not to fall too fast, Elowen.

    Elowen's POV The moment the instructor’s sharp, resonant voice dismissed us, the training arena, previously a crucible of focused energy, erupted into a flurry of motion. Students scattered like leaves caught in a sudden gust of wind, their earlier discipline dissolving into a cacophony of excited chatter and hurried footsteps. The air, still thick with the lingering scent of scorched earth and sweat, hummed with residual heat and raw energy, but I barely registered it anymore. My own heart was still thundering, a furious drumbeat against my ribs—though not from the physical exertion of the combat itself. No, it thundered from the way Theron had looked at me during the fight, his eyes a brewing storm of possessiveness and fear. It thundered from the way Caelum had watched me from the shadows, his gaze unnervingly familiar, hinting at secrets I couldn’t yet grasp. And most acutely, it thundered from the way Alaric hadn’t said a single word through it all, his usual measured calm hol

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   We don’t air our dirty laundry for the entire academy to see.

    Elowen's POV The training arena buzzed with a primal energy, a low, vibrant hum that permeated the very air. The scent of scorched earth from previous sessions mingled with the sharper tang of sweat and unspent adrenaline, a heady mix that both grounded and excited me. Students lined up in various pairs, some already engaged in rigorous sparring, the rhythmic clang of practice blades filling the space, others stretching, their movements fluid and practiced. Their chatter was a low murmur, but it was charged, thick with an unspoken anticipation, a collective sensing that something was simmering just beneath the surface, poised to erupt. And I knew precisely why. Alaric, ever the watchful strategist, stood rigidly to my right, his arms crossed over his formidable chest as he observed the warm-ups with narrowed, analytical eyes, missing nothing. Theron, a smoldering, silent force, leaned against a thick support post directly behind me, his presence a palpable heat at my back. And Ran

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   But you in my bed, Elowen, wearing my clothes?

    Elowen's POV Morning sunlight, filtered through the heavy, velvet-lined curtains, cast a soft, golden hue across Ranon's private chambers. It wasn't the harsh, unfiltered brilliance of a new day, but a gentle, almost timid glow, washing over the intricate carvings of the wooden furniture and warming the very air. I blinked slowly, my eyelids fluttering open, nestled deeply beneath the luxurious warmth of thick blankets and something infinitely stronger, more comforting—someone. Ranon. His powerful arms were still wrapped around me, one draped protectively over my waist, the other tucked carefully beneath my neck, cradling my head. His breath, warm and steady, stirred the fine strands of hair near my ear, a peaceful, rhythmic whisper. I could feel the steady, resonant rhythm of his heart beating beneath my palm, the slow, reassuring rise and fall of his chest, anchoring me completely to this perfect, fleeting moment. The subtle scent of him—wild mint, clean linen, and something uni

  • The Triplet's Bullied Mate   I closed my eyes, feeling the gentle rise and fall of his chest beneath me.

    Elowen's POV And as I slipped back into Ranon’s room, the hushed quiet of the mansion felt like a stark contrast to the storm that still raged within me. The moonlight, now streaming unobstructed through his large window, cast long, silver streaks across the polished wooden floorboards, illuminating the subtle dust motes dancing in the air. The faint scent of cedar and his own unique, invigorating aroma—wild mint and damp earth—filled my lungs, a familiar comfort. I found him awake. He was lying on his side, one powerful arm tucked loosely beneath his head, his golden eyes wide open and fixed intently on the door, as if he had been waiting, every fiber of his being tuned to my return. His gaze found me instantly, dark and stormy, swirling with a raw, unadulterated mix of relief, anger, and an aching, profound longing. All of it swirled just beneath the surface, a turbulent ocean of emotion barely contained. “You left,” he rasped, his voice rough, hoarse not just from sleep but from
