Chapter 65 — Scent Changes
publish date:
2026-07-29 14:00:52Ayla's POV
The walk back from the lake felt warmer than it should have.
Ryker had been complaining since we left the water's edge, dragging the fishing gear behind him with the energy of someone who had genuinely suffered.
"I almost died," he said, for the fifth time.
"You were standing in waist-deep water," Soren said.
"It was freezing."
"You deserved it."
Ryker pointed at him. "You laughed."
"You screamed."
"I did not scream."

The Triplets' Silent Mate Chapter 66 — Heat
Kael’s POV"She's in heat," Fenrir said. "This time it won't pass on its own."I didn’t want to discuss it then—especially not when it took everything in me to keep him at bay.I knew it would eventually come. I had noticed the changes in her scent over the last couple of days, but I never really took them to heart.Why would I? I thought the change was because she was slowly accepting us.Besides, there were so many other things that needed my attention.But when we got there, I finally understood what was happening.Over the last couple of days, there had been moments when her lovely berries' scent became stronger and even overpowering in small, warm doses.I knew it was only a matter of time.Ayla didn’t even notice the first waves; Soren and Ryker were oblivious to it. Their senses were good, but not as sharp as mine.I reminded myself I needed to keep control, so I busied myself with o

Ayla's POVThe walk back from the lake felt warmer than it should have.Ryker had been complaining since we left the water's edge, dragging the fishing gear behind him with the energy of someone who had genuinely suffered."I almost died," he said, for the fifth time."You were standing in waist-deep water," Soren said."It was freezing.""You deserved it."Ryker pointed at him. "You laughed.""You screamed.""I did not scream."Kael walked ahead carrying most of the fish without comment, entirely removed from the argument the way he always was when he'd decided it wasn't worth entering.Tala hummed softly. "This feels nice."She was right, and I was slowly running out of ways to argue with that.The cabin wrapped warmth around us the moment we pushed through the door. Snow melted from our boots, smoke and cedar were thick in the air, and the fire was still going from the morning.Ryker
The Triplets' Silent Mate Chapter 64 — Thin Ice
Ryker's POVIf someone stayed cooped up in a mountain cabin long enough, eventually someone lost their mind.Today that someone was me."I'm bored," I announced.Soren didn't look up from his book. "You said that twenty minutes ago.""Because I'm still bored."Kael sat at the table cleaning one of the hunting knives with slow, methodical strokes. "Then go do something.""I'm trying to.""No," Soren said, turning a page. "You're trying to drag everyone else with you.""That's the whole point."Ayla was curled near the fireplace beneath one of the thick blankets, a mug between her hands, watching the fire. She looked calmer today—not fully relaxed, but the tight, guarded quality she'd arrived with had eased by degrees.Duke stretched. "Her scent has changed."He was right. Since we'd arrived, it had shifted—softer, warmer, less like someone braced for impact.I shook the thought away
The Triplets' Silent Mate Chapter 63 — Survival Lessons
Kael's POVThe storm stopped sometime during the night.I noticed the silence before I noticed anything else—the absence of wind against the cabin walls, the stillness where there had been constant movement for hours. I stood on the porch in the early grey light and looked at what it had left behind.The valley was buried. Every surface was covered, every angle softened; the world was reduced to white and shadow and the dark lines of trees disappearing into the distance.Fenrir watched the tree line through my eyes, his attention methodical. "It's quiet today.""Too quiet?" I asked.He considered it properly before answering. "No. Just winter."For once, I almost believed that.Inside, Ryker was still asleep on the sofa beneath a blanket he had clearly stolen from Soren at some point during the night. Soren had noticed. He hadn't acted on it yet, which meant he was either being generous or saving it for the right moment.
The Triplets' Silent Mate Chapter 62 — Settling In
Ayla's POVThe cabin sounded different from the packhouse in the morning.Not loud or busy — alive in a quieter way. Wood was creaking softly under the weight of the storm outside. Wind brushing against the walls in long, easy sighs. The fire crackling steadily somewhere below, finding its rhythm.I lay beneath the blankets for a moment longer, looking at the wooden ceiling above me.Warm.It was not the polished warmth of the packhouse; it was something rougher. More honest. The kind of warmth that came from a fire actually doing its job rather than a thermostat set to the right number.The room smelled of cedarwood and old smoke. Pale light came through the curtains in thin strips across the floor.Tala stretched lazily. "I like it here. Much better than your room back at the packhouse."Comfort felt dangerous lately. I almost said that. But my chest was quieter here than it had been in days, and I couldn't argue with t
The Triplets' Silent Mate Chapter 61 — Relocation
Kael's POVThe movement in the trees wasn't my imagination.Ayla had seen it too—I'd caught the moment her eyes found it, the way her hand had pressed harder against the glass. She knew. She just didn't know what it meant yet.I didn't tell my brothers. If I had, Ryker would have been through the door and into the tree line before I finished the sentence, and whoever was out there would simply disappear the way they always did. They were too practiced at it. Too patient."This isn't connected to the photos," Fenrir said. "This is something else entirely."I agreed. Whatever was circling us wasn't a jealous teenage girl working out a grudge. It moved differently. It thought ahead. It knew how to be seen only when it chose to be and how to vanish before anyone could respond.That wasn't desperation. That was strategy.Ryker didn't question the cabin decision—he was already moving before I'd finished speaking, pulling out con
The Triplets' Silent Mate Chapter 6 – The Chase Begins
Ayla’s POVThe forest is quieter this morning, as if everything is holding its breath, watching me flee from this miserable pack.I ignore the feeling and keep moving.I’ve only taken the basics—the clothes on my back and the money I saved from working at the coffee shop. It isn’t much, but at leas

Ryker’s POVI’m awake before I should be and groan out loud as my eyes flicker open. My head still spins from too much eggnog last night.I press my hand against my head, trying to stop the feeling. I lie there for a second, staring at the ceiling, trying to figure out what pulled me out of a soundl

The Triplets' Silent Mate Chapter 1 – The Girl No One Sees
Ayla’s POVSnow falls in a slow, quiet drift all around me—not in the kind of way that makes it look magical.It just looks endless, a dull color of white and cold. It settles over everything—the trees, the ground, rooftops—as if trying to cover things up. As if, if it piles high enough, no one will
