Cameron pov 

“MATE!” Killian, my wolf screamed. 

“What do you mean Killian?” I questioned.

“MATE! She’s our mate!” Killian repeated. The conviction made me echo my thoughts. “She’s my mate”

“No, she’s my mate!” Carson counter attacked. While I so desperately wanted to get in a fight with Carson if he was pulling my legs; I noticed Cadel stood in his tracks as silent as ever. 

“She’s your mate too, isn’t she?” I state as a matter of fact rather than a question. From the way he didn’t respond, my thoughts were confirmed. 

How was my brother’s mate mine? What was the moon goddess planning?. It wasn’t something unusual nor was it something unheard of. 

As triplets, it was only normal we shared the same destiny but this, this was unacceptable.

I pulled Cadel and Carson to the side. “What should we do?”

“I’m not giving her up” Cadel replied strongly. It wasn’t as though he was selfish, his reason was completely understandable. 

While Carson and I were given mates; although we’d rejected then, Cadel wasn’t given. He’d lived his life thinking he didn't have a mate and had nearly lived as a lone wolf. 

He spent his days either in the hospital or elsewhere; he was barely ever home. 

“Then I guess the decision is up to Carson and I” I turned my gaze towards at Carson, “This is ridiculous. The way I’m seeing her, she’s a wolf of chaos who is going to come between the three of us. It’s best we reject her”

Carson scoffed, “You can go ahead and do that but I won’t”

“What?” Cadel questioned, as if he’d heard wrongly. His tone was so harsh that I could tell that he was ready for a fight. 

“You heard me right” Carson repeated. “As the eldest of us three, it’s only right I claim her, right?”

Cadel launched himself quickly at Carson but luckily I seperated them just in time, “You! You’ve just always wanted what was mine, haven’t you? Ever since we were young. I’m pretty sure you want Anna because of your greed!”

“Yeah, you’re right!, It’s because of greed. So what are you going to do about it?” Carson cut in sharply. 

“Stop it right this second!” I shouted, pushing them farther away from eachother; obviously furious over their squabbling. Turning to face Carson, I demand, “Why do you wish to covet what isn’t yours?”

“I deserve to have her as I’m to be the alpha of this pack. It’s my right!”

Cadel scoffed, “Really? Then your ‘right’ remains over my dead body”

Taking my hand, Cadel and I moved to where Anna stood. Words didn’t need to be uttered for I knew why he’d brouyme to her. It wasn’t for an introduction but for a rejection. 

Flashing a polite smile at me, she bowed, “Hi, I’m Anna. It’s nice to meet—”

“I’m sorry” I say softly before uttering those words, those necessary words I dreaded but had to say, “I Cameron Lakeshore of starlight pack hereby rejects you Anna Marion as my mate”

A loud wailing filled the forest as Anna clutched to her chest, slowly falling to the ground in pain. Tears flowed down her cheeks like an endless river. 

Cadel scrunched down beside her; taking her into his arms and comforting her the best way he could, “It’s okay, you’ll be fine” he repeated over and over again. 

I turned back to look at Carson and the f*cker was gone. I guess he was serious about claimit Cadel’s mate as his. 

One thing I was sure of was that this was definitely going to start a war between us.

When Anna seemed to be doing fine once more, Cadel and I walked side by side as we made our way out of the forest; Anna had given us a headstart. 

“Let’s try convincing Carson one more tim—“I started but Cadel cut me off. 

“Don’t mention his name to me ever again”

Taken aback; I questioned,”Are you serious?”

Cadel fac d me with a deadpan serious look written all over his face, “Do I look like I’m joking to you?”

I shook my head as I chuckled nervously; thinking about how to change the subject, “Anyways, it’s good to have you back home”

Who knows, this big twist could have been the moon goddess plan in bringing Cadel home? 

“I’ll still be clocking in to the hospital once in a while”

Now, did he really have to go killing the mood?. “I know, you workaholic!”

Cadel let out a deep hearty chuckle as he released himself from my arms. “I hope you’ve been training the pack warriors”

“Well, whenever Carson and I have a good fight, Lucas sure fills up that part nicely”

Cadel smacks the back of my head. “I knew you’ve been slagging around”

“Then you should have been around more often” I counter attacked. 

Cadel feigned shock “Your mouth has sure gotten sharper”

“That’s as a result of constant bartering with Carson” I shrugged. “I can’t help it”

Cadel let out a short laugh. “Whatever”

As we almost reached the entrance of the forest; I questioned, “So we are really doing this?”

“We?”

“You are definitely not going to talk to Carson for a long long while over his decision”

“Yes, but what does that I’ve to do with you? You aren’t entitled to pick sides”

“You might not realize this but I am because I’m stuck in the middle of you two. So tell me, are you seriously going to do this?”

“Yes”

“Any second thoughts?” I questioned. I really needed Cadel to be fully aware of the gravity of the situation.  

“No. And you?”

Rather than voicing my words for assurance, I just shook my head instead because to be honest, I wasn’t sure if I could handle being in the middle of their fight or choosing sides. This is all because of Carson. 

I hear a whinnying sound and search around looking for who was in pain but to my surprise, it was Killian. 

“What’s wrong?” I questioned. 

“I feel bad for our mate, why did you have to reject her?”

I rolled my eyes, “Get over it, I can always get another one”

“Are you sure?” Killian questioned but it sounded more of a threat to me. 

I’ve heard of cases where one wolf remains mateless for the rest of their lives after being given many chances by the moon goddess but that won’t happen to me…right?

  • The triplet alpha's rejected mate    Hell out

    CAMERON’S POVI shot out my hand just in time to catch Cadel’s arm as he lunged toward Dexter, his expression a storm of fury. I knew my brother was itching to confront the arrogant wolf about that infuriating wink—a gesture that felt both flirtatious and downright threatening. We might possess the strength of titans, but we were still outsiders in this pack. Guests who the true Alpha of Black Moon had handed an ultimatum. They didn’t need us now; if anything, our goodwill had come back to haunt us.“Let it go, bro,” I urged, pulling him back as we watched Dexter revel in his victory, the embodiment of arrogance. I could almost feel Anna’s horror radiating from the balcony as he stomped on Marcus’s blood, a grotesque display of dominance.“We have to keep an eye on that bastard,” Cadel muttered through clenched teeth. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s in league with the Brothers of Vengeance.”“Yeah, but we need to get the hell out of this godforsaken place,” I countered, trying to red

  • The triplet alpha's rejected mate    Set determination

    Cadel’s povThe sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the training grounds as the pack gathered for the duel. The atmosphere was tense, a palpable mix of anticipation and anxiety. Whispers echoed among the pack members, speculation swirling about the candidates for the Alpha position and what this duel might reveal about the pack's future.I stood beside Carson and Cameron, watching the scene unfold before us, the weight of the tragedy of previous days pressing heavily on our shoulders. “We need to stay vigilant,” I murmured, scanning the faces in the crowd. “If the Brothers of Vengeance intend on following through with their plans, they will likely have spies around, watching us closely.”“Agreed,” Carson replied, his jaw set in determination. “We must keep our eyes peeled.” Soon, the competitors entered the arena, and a hush fell over the crowd. Dexter strode in confidently, his posture radiating arrogance and experience. The other candidate, an elder named Marcus

    Anna’s PovI was a hundred percent certain that the writing in the leather-bound notebook did not belong to Bryan. After all, we had been mates before Cecilia brought the chaos. I could almost swear that the handwriting was hers. But what use would that information be now that she was gone? I knew I couldn't take back my earlier statement.“It doesn’t belong to Bryan?” Cadel furrowed his brows, confusion etching his features. “We found it among his belongings.”“Think carefully, love,” Cameron said gently, approaching me and placing his hands on my shoulders. “Are you absolutely sure the writing isn’t his?”“I swear on my life,” I replied, resolute in my claim, which earned an amused chuckle from Carson.“There’s no need to swear on your life, darling. Let’s first see what we can find regarding the contacts in the book before we worry about who it originally belonged to.” Carson gently took the notebook from my hand and returned it to the table.Just then, Nicole knocked and slipped i

  • The triplet alpha's rejected mate    Uprising

    104-CARSON’S POVThe council was summoned, and the elders gathered, their faces etched with annoyance at being pulled from their slumber. Some appeared barely interested in what my brothers and I had to convey, while others looked outright skeptical. Bryan’s recent feral episode had cast a shadow on his reputation in their eyes. Yet, the harsh truth had to be revealed.“Your Alpha is dead,” Cadel’s voice sliced through the murmurs, ringing out like a clarion call before the elders could even settle into their seats. His proclamation was met with a crushing silence, a stillness that hung in the air like a prelude to an impending storm. The weight of unanswered questions enveloped us, and I could feel the accusatory glares from the older wolves directed toward us.“What do you mean by dead?” one elder roared, rising angrily to his feet. “He was just alive a few hours ago! He was practically in the arms of your mate! You and your brothers took him to his room, and now you tell us he’s d

    Cameron’s POVAs Cadel rushed from Bryan’s room, he collided with Carson and Lucas, who were hurrying to find the source of the disturbance.“What’s going on,?, You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” Carson attempted a joke, hoping to lighten the atmosphere taut with dread. But Cadel remained silent, his face pallor and grave as he clutched the bloody death threat he'd snatched from the feathered arrow. His hand quivered slightly, the horrific image of Bryan’s lifeless body replaying mercilessly in his mind.“Cadel?” Lucas stepped closer; concern etched deeply across his brow. “What’s wrong with Bryan?”“He’s dead,” Cadel replied, the words flat and devoid of emotion, his eyes distant.“What do you mean dead? He should be sleeping!” The disbelief in Lucas’s voice echoed in the hallway as he moved around Cadel, urgency etched on his face. Carson followed closely behind, the tension thickening the air around us. Moments later, they emerged from the room, their expressions mirroring Cadel'

  • The triplet alpha's rejected mate    Heavy on shoulder

    - CADEL’S POVI despise disloyalty. I can’t stand insubordination. Traitors are a scourge in my eyes. Yet nothing weighs heavier on my heart than witnessing the sadness of my mate. I hate it when tears flow down her cheek. Every challenge to my authority enrages me, but the sight of Anna in pain cuts deeper than anything else. I was resolute in my decision to end Bryan’s life for daring to touch her, to punish him for his unforgivable actions. However, her tears and desperate pleas doused the flames of my thirst for revenge. Anna's compassion continues to astound me, reminding me of the power of love and the strength it takes to choose empathy over anger.My brothers and I found ourselves on the first floor of the packhouse, watching Bryan pour his heart out in Anna’s embrace. A flicker of jealousy stirred within me, but I quickly reminded myself that he was utterly broken and in need of the comfort only Anna could provide—a solace that none of us could offer.“So, what’s the plan now
