LOGINOn the day of my first shift, my Alpha triplet adoptive brothers weren't by my side for the first time ever, because their long-lost birth sister Scarlett had returned. My doting third brother Hunter abandoned me in a forest crawling with rogue wolves and made me walk back alone. My gentle second brother Ethan slapped me across the face for Scarlett, demanding to know why I was being so vicious. Even my usually level-headed oldest brother Mason told me to get out and never come back for his birth sister's sake, without even bothering to hear my side of the story. Scarlett's sweet facade fell away when we were alone. "So what if your parents sacrificed themselves to save my brothers? They are my biological brothers. You're just a mongrel with no blood relation. Even if I drive you out, my brothers will definitely take my side." I didn't say another word. I just grabbed my bags and left. They thought I was just throwing a tantrum and would be back in a few days. The three brothers even postponed their busy pack affairs to accompany their birth sister to patrol the Northern territories – to see the snowy tundra I had always dreamed of visiting. Many days later, when they returned to the pack, they suddenly learned that I had joined a Beta Wolf Enhancement Program that would last ten years, with no contact with the outside world. When they knew that I could never come home again, they fell apart.
View MoreI remembered that heavy snowfall from so long ago, the day my parents died. The not-yet-twenty-year-old Mason who had held me tightly against his chest, his own tears falling into my hair as he promised me I wasn't alone."As long as your brothers are here, Olivia, you'll always have a home."Years of memories, looking back, seemed like nothing but a distant dream—the good ones and the painful ones alike."I remember," I said softly, not even sure if he could hear me. "I remember when you three took me sledding at Wolf Ridge. And how you threatened Tommy Walker when he pushed me down at school."Mason's eyes filled with tears. He tried to nod."I remember how you read to me when I was scared during thunderstorms," I continued, the words coming unbidden now. "And how you taught me to drive, even though I crashed your new car into that fence."His face was ashen gray now, his breathing becoming increasingly labored. The nurse hovered nearby, clearly concerned by the numbers on the monito
As I straightened up, I glanced out the window and saw Mason, Ethan, and Hunter had stopped walking and turned back toward the house. They were just close enough to see me placing their gifts on the ground.Even from a distance, I could read their expressions—identical looks of sorrow and dismay crossed their faces before they quickly turned away, continuing their slow retreat.Hours later, as Derek and I were preparing for bed, the phone rang. It was nearly midnight—too late for casual calls.I answered, a sense of foreboding already settling in my stomach."Mrs. Blackwood?" an unfamiliar voice asked. "This is Crescent Moon Hospital. I'm calling about Mason Paine."My hand tightened around the receiver. "What about him?""He's been admitted in critical condition. His brothers asked us to contact you." The nurse's voice softened. "The doctors don't expect him to make it through the night. They wanted to know if you wished to see him one last time."I ended up rushing to the hospital, t
At thirty-seven, Derek and I became mates after years of working side by side in the research institute. Derek had always been protective of me, even more so after we mated. When we discussed having children, his brow furrowed with concern."Olivia, werewolf pregnancies are risky even for younger females," he said one night. "I can't risk losing you. I've watched you nearly die too many times during our missions."His eyes, usually so confident, held a vulnerability I rarely saw. I knew he was remembering the time a rogue wolf had nearly torn out my throat during a weapons test gone wrong."We have other options," I told him, squeezing his hand reassuringly.We visited several pack orphanages before we found her—a tiny newborn with silver-blonde hair and bright green eyes. "She's the one," he whispered. We named her Lily.When Lily turned three, I organized a birthday celebration. Nothing extravagant—just a gathering with other pack children, some fellow researchers, and Derek's fami
How long had it been since my brothers called me "Liv"?I couldn't remember.The people accompanying me saw the situation and left first.Derek gently patted my shoulder: "Olivia, I'll wait for you outside."I nodded.Turning around, I saw Mason, Ethan, and Hunter hastily walking toward me.At about two steps away, they seemed afraid to come any closer and stopped.I looked at them, followed by a long silence.Until Hunter spoke hoarsely: "Have you been well all these years?"I replied gently: "I've been quite well."Ethan struggled to contain himself, his eyes revealing immense pain and regret:"About Scarlett, we know everything now."Olivia, your brothers... we're sorry."My heart no longer stirred with ripples of emotion.I just calmly said: "It's okay. It's all in the past."Mason's face trembled. After a while, he carefully asked: "Could we... have a meal together?"I shook my head: "I'd rather not."The hope in their eyes instantly dimmed.I didn't linger any longer and turned t
