Leila

 

He began leaving the room so I could prepare for the ball. I was overjoyed, I felt some kind of pull and a weird sensation go through my entire body as I watched him leave. 

I had felt the same way with Elijah and even Liam too earlier. It was weird. Maybe it was all the excitement from getting to meet my mate soon.

 

I shook my head, and went back to getting ready for the ball. I put on the blue gown, and I also put on the shoes. I felt like I was a queen, I danced around my room. I failed to notice that someone had come to see me. 

 

I turned to see Amalia standing by the doorway admiring me as I danced around the room. She smiled and said. “You look magnificent, Leila.” 

 

I blushed with her remark, I replied to her with great joy in my heart as I kept dancing around. “Thanks Amelia, the Alpha gave me the dress. Elijah and Henry gave me the shoe and necklace.” 

 

I noticed her smile grew more, she got up and joined me in dancing . “Wow, well it’s normal since you have been with them since you were six. What did Liam give you?” 

 

I stopped dancing immediately when I heard Liam, I don’t know why but whenever I hear his name, my heart would skip a beat. I was secretly crushing on him, despite how he always treated me.

 

Liam read the expression on my face and she immediately knew what had happened. “You two had another fight? The two of you were inseparable as kids. I don't know what caused the rift between the two of you.” 

 

I sat on my bed, I took a deep breath. “He literally hates me and I don’t know why, maybe I should stop trying to make him like me.” 

 

Amalia patted my head and said to me, “Stop worrying yourself about that, he will come around.” 

 

“But today is your day, don’t let him ruin it for you. Now get yourself cleaned up, it's almost time for the ball.” 

 

I smiled, I felt whole once more I quickly got up and got myself cleaned up and put on the gown I got as a gift from Orion, I put on the shoe and necklace Elijah and Henry gave me. 

 

I looked at the mirror and I couldn’t see the weak crying seven year old that Orion found in the ruins of a village. I hardly couldn’t recognize myself. 

 

I felt the sensation once more and this time it was more intense than before, I could feel my entire body heat up. It was like someone was calling me. 

 

I shook it off and headed down for the ball, Amalia was waiting for me outside my quarters. I smiled as she admired my dress. I felt happy. We walked down to the ball and everyone was dancing. I looked across the hall and I saw Alpha Orion with the council of elders sitting by his side.

 

He looked at me then he gave me a wink, my confidence got boosted. I followed Amalia to where our little group of friends were dancing. 

 

“Wow, you look absolutely beautiful. I think I will be stealing the gown later.”  Becky said, admiring me as I danced with them. 

 

“Thanks for the heads up, I will probably sleep with it on tonight.” I replied, causing the little group to laugh. 

We were getting glares from different angles. It was the male wolves present, it was the full moon night, the one night that no wolf can control their urges but they fight to keep it at bay.

 

I looked across the dance floor to see Elijah and Henry, the two were discussing something as usual. 

Suddenly that sensation creeped up on me and it felt so intense. Their eyes caught mine and it was like I was in a daze. The distinct strong smell of Oak and another strong smell of dry earth blasted my nostrils.

I felt my entire body burning up, I felt my legs trembling and the two started walking towards me. 

 

I turned and tripped, almost falling to the ground but someone caught me and the moment his arms touched me, I felt the howl of my wolf.

‘Mate’

“What the hell?” He said coldly, throwing me back down like I was burning him. “You can’t be my fucking mate.”

 

His words stung me like a sharp arrow pierced my heart. He was my mate, the one the goddess chose for me but he had already indirectly rejected me.

My wolf howled in pain in my head and I couldn’t see anything again.

“What’s your problem Liam?” I heard Henry’s harsh voice as he tried to help me up but I flinched away from his hold. 

“Leave me alone,” I snarled. His voice seemed to calm my wolf’s rage but mine had taken over and the strong smell of oak was invading my senses, coming from him.

I dusted my dress as I stood to my feet just to hear a loud sickening crunch.

Elijah had punched Liam squarely in the face. “Show some fucking respect brother!” 

“You’re so dead!” Liam growled. He extended his claws to attack Elijah as he lunged at him but Elijah punched him back, snarling as bones started to break and they both shifted.

“Come here,” Henry said, pulling me into his hold and I heard it for the second time.

‘Mate’

My heart thudded as I looked up at Henry and he was looking down at me, our eyes locked and I could see he was as confused as I was.

How was this possible to be mated to two people?

“You’re my mate?” Henry said surprised.” You’re my mate. Oh goddess!” He sounded more excited as he hugged me tightly. 

His hands felt comfortable, like my safe place but something about the two Alpha wolves that were ready to tear each other to shreds over me kept pulling me.

Was it possible? That I was mated with all three?

  • Three Alphas, One Luna   CHAPTER 83

    Elijah povDawn settled over Crimson Moon with a pale promise. The mist curled through the pines like ghostly fingers, and the camp lay hushed before the day’s bustle. I wore no helm or armor, only simple leathers, when I crossed the training yard. Young wolves of the pack gathered there, yawning and stretching, weapons and shields beside them. Today, I would lead their lesson.“Line up,” I called, voice firm but gentle. I watched as a dozen boys and girls took positions, their faces a mixture of eagerness and nerves. Many had never held a sword before the war. Now, they believed themselves warriors and I owed them more than mere drills. I owed them hope.I cleared my throat. “Today, we practice defense, how to stand without fear. A shield is more than metal; it’s trust. You trust it to hold, and it trusts you to stand by it.”Their instructor, a veteran named Sariel, nodded behind me. I had learned from him in the battle’s heat, how to weave wards into bandages, how to steady a falte

  • Three Alphas, One Luna   CHAPTER 82

    Liam’s povI woke before the sun did. The camp lay quiet, save for the distant murmur of healers and the low moan of dying embers in hearthfires. My limbs feel heavy, though sleep has passed fitfully, dreams still crawling with steel and shadow.I pulled on damp boots, wrapped my cloak around me, and stepped out into the predawn chill. Every breath came visible, a reminder that I was alive and free. But free didn't mean my mind had stopped racing.The eastern gate gleamed dimly under dying torches. I paused before the aged wooden planks, rolling my shoulders. I’d patrolled these gates countless times, back when the pack still trusted me. Now they trusted me again. But trust was easy to take. Peace wasn’t.I checked the guard posted there, nodded good morning, and continued along the palisade toward the watchtower. The wood underfoot was slick with dew. Here and there, we’d set up simple wards, magical wards Henry had helped weave in protective cords. I pressed my hand against one of t

  • Three Alphas, One Luna   CHAPTER 81

    Leila’s POV The first light of morning filtered through the tall pines, painting the clearing in pale gold. I stood before the half-ruined walls of the old infirmary, rolling up my sleeves and stepping over broken tile and scattered bandages. Around me, Crimson Moon’s healers and builders, mothers and fathers, veterans and trainees, worked side by side, repairing shelves, scrubbing floors, and replacing shattered windows. For the first time in my life, I wasn’t a weapon, nor a prisoner, nor a prize to be claimed. I was here to help rebuild and to heal.I crossed the threshold into the ward, where gurneys and stretchers lined the walls. A faded tapestry of the Moon Goddess still hung where an entire wing had collapsed. With a deep breath, I knelt beside a wounded healer named Arin, whose arm had been broken in the final battle.“Morning, Arin,” I said softly, as he pressed his bound forearm against his side, wincing at the movement.He gave me a tired smile. “Good morning, Luna. I see

  • Three Alphas, One Luna   CHAPTER 80

    Elijah’s POV The night settled over Crimson Moon like a velvet cloak, soft and reassuring. The battle was won, the camp secured, and for the first time in many moons, the air was free of fear. I stoked the fire until the logs glowed, sending sparks dancing into the star-filled sky. Beside me, my brothers Henry and Liam and Leila, settled onto blankets spread in a loose circle. The crackle of the fire was the only sound for a moment, warm and steady, like the heartbeat of the earth. The flames licked the logs, casting shadows on our faces, dancing across the walls of the forest around us. It was late, moon high, stars clear, no threat in sight. For once, we were safe. No blood. No running. No fear.I took a deep breath, letting the warmth of the fire chase away the chill that always lingered after battle. Liam sat close to Leila, he leaned back against a rock, arms crossed, a small grin tugging at his lips, his arm casually draped across her shoulders. She rested her head against his

  • Three Alphas, One Luna   CHAPTER 79

    Leila’s POV The dawn light crept softly over the ridge as I sat alone by the edge of the stream, watching my reflection ripple in the clear water. The hush of early morning felt sacred, as if the world had paused to give me space. My hands hovered above the surface, but I did not touch the water. I was not ready to see my face yet, not when my mind was waking from the long fog of enchantment, the bonds that had held me like chains.I closed my eyes and let the memories come.First, the good. I remembered the day I arrived at Crimson Moon’s gates, frightened and alone and how Henry had knelt to offer me a cloak woven with moonlight, his eyes gentle with kindness. I recalled Elijah’s soft music in the moonlit garden, the way his fingers had lifted my trembling hands to teach me the first notes on a piano. I could still feel Liam’s steady grip when he had caught me as I stumbled in basic drills, his voice firm but caring as he corrected my stance. All those moments of warmth and trust,

  • Three Alphas, One Luna   CHAPTER 78

    Henry’s POV The morning sun climbed higher, chasing off the last shadows of dawn, when I found Elijah sitting alone by the riverbank. The camp was stirring ,healers packing their herbs, scouts cleaning weapons, cooks stoking the morning fires, but he sat apart from us all, shoulders slumped, gaze fixed on the silver ribbon of water that wound through the valley.I approached slowly, heart heavy. My brother had lost more than most in this war. He had lost the bond of their shared mate, Leila, his first love, his soul’s counterpart. Elijah and I had both felt the pain of severance, but he had carried his grief deep and silent, his heart still tethered to memories that no longer held magic.“Elijah,” I called gently. He looked up, eyes rimmed with exhaustion and sorrow. His wolf’s light was faint in his gaze, like a dying ember.I knelt beside him on the dew-wet grass. “Come back to camp,” I said softly. “They need you.”He shook his head, forceful and weary. “I’m fine here,” he said, v
