Mia’s POV:After they closed the store for the day, Glenda and I sat with cups of coffee. The sun had set a long time ago and the stars were out.“So that's one of the legendary Triplets who's your mate?” Glenda asked after she had taken a sip.MiIa nodded. “I’m still surprised that he didn't recognize me.” The thought gave her some semblance of peace. She would never be found here unless she wanted them to.But thinking that Jaxon must have been searching for me, broke my heart a little. He didn't look that good and there was a hint of a shadow under his eyes. Something was stressing him.Before he left the cottage, he had asked me where the nearest gas station was. I didn't know so Glenda had to come talk to him.‘Can you see how much he wants you?’ Cassey asked, finally speaking up after such a long time. I expected her to be agitated and to pressure me to go back. But strangely, she had been at peace. I attributed it to the magic of this place.Glenda hummed a response. “Your coff
EVELYN'S POVI wished I was dead.Maybe that was a little too much but, it wasn't too far off. I wish my life was different. I wish I had my mom and my dad, and everything was how it used to be.But it can't be. That life is gone.Most days, I wonder how people could be so happy. They seemed to have everything: perfect lives, perfect families, perfect loves. For me, nothing was perfect. My life was nothing but a series of unfortunate events.It was like the moon goddess herself had cursed me. Some days, I believed she had. As if she’d looked down from her silver throne in the sky and decided to take whatever joy I had left, one piece at a time.What was even worse was that I thought I deserved it. Maybe it was some twisted kind of repayment for everything that had happened over the years. I had no one to blame except myself.“We're almost there, ma'am,” I heard the taxi driver say.He snapped me back to reality and I caught him staring at me through the rearview mirror. I looked away.
EVELYN'S POVI closed the door behind me and locked it twice but, I didn't really trust the old locks. I kept an ear out for any suspicious movements but the feeling of being watched was gone.I stared at the note and the letter. The letter said my parents didn’t die in an accident.The words were burned into my brain already. It had been years since anyone had mentioned my parents’ death. Everyone had moved on, assuming it was an unfortunate accident. I had never truly believed it. Well, not entirely and now, someone else seemed to know the truth. But who?The second letter was just as confusing. It was an employment offer from the Lycan King's mansion, requesting me to serve as one of the housekeepers. I remembered vaguely applying and knowing I wouldn't get the job because of my conviction. But, I was surprised. I didn't know who sent it but the letter had an official seal and, a formal signature. There were precise instructions about when and where to go when I arrived.Everything
Evelyn’s POVI opened my eyes to the bright lights shining so bright in them and was forced to shut back. My head hurt so much and my neck wasn't accepting. It felt as if I had been hit by a heavy stone, rendering my body useless.A groan pulled out of my lips as I turned to the other side of the bed with my arms stretched.The bed is too big and wide, not like what I remembered. I don't ever get the opportunity to sleep on a big bed. Even in my formal city, Settle, I had a small mattress, even in jail, that was the worst bed I had. Andy's new home is not any better.Sensing I was in a different room other than my new, ruined room, I forced my eyes open, ignoring the sharp pain in my head, and sat up. I was indeed in a different room.I was the only one. Was I kidnapped or did I go into the wrong house?I looked around and it started coming back to me. I had shamelessly seduced a man and went into a room with him. The rest of the memory was a blur. I couldn't remember what happened w
EVENLY’s POVI pulled out a groan from my lips as I forced my heavy eyes open. I was in my room and not a strange place I had woken up to, yesterday.I had a dream about seeing a man who was stalking me. Or was it not a dream? In my dream, I had collapsed and lost consciousness outside when I had an encounter with him.How the hell did I get back inside?My mind was playing so many games with me I don't know if I had a dream or if it happened, cause it felt so real. Well, some bad dreams feel like that. And for the stalker, maybe it was because I thought about him last night.I groaned and rubbed my tired neck, but got a sharp sting. "Ouch!" I cried and pulled my hand away, only to see blood.My eyes widened, as I jumped out of the bed and ran to the window. It was there. It wasn't a dream after all. It was just as I remembered. I got marked by that stranger.My heart skipped a beat. This is a disaster. No, it can't be. How could I let this happen to me? Marked to a total stranger? Th
We both stared at each other for a moment before he took his gaze to the man holding me. He was the same man I had laid with at the club. The man who marked me. "Let go of her, Damien. She is not one of your women." Jared instructed but Damien laughed and shook his head."Since when do I receive orders from you loser?" He retorted and made his grip on my wrist, tighter. I tried to wiggle my way out, but his tight hold wouldn't bulge. "I said, let go of her!" he growled but Damien remained still, not moving a bit or showing any sign of fear.I was standing among the Lycan brothers. The men I should avoid and be far away from. The two of them share a history with me.One, Jared, is my ex, and the other, is the man I seduced and marked me. Surprisingly, the mark was still there and that meant he was my mate. And I think he is also the stalker who has been going after me since I arrived in the city."You came too late brother. I am not letting her go now." Damien said out, still having
Author's POV:In the courtyard of the massive packhouse, two men sat side by side. One was Alpha James, the leader of the Silver pack, and the other was Beta Hudson, Mia's Ex husband.Alpha James was busily discussing the project they had at hand - a new and bigger orphanage for the area.But as Alpha James spoke, he noticed that his Beta seemed lost in thought.Concerned, Alpha James turned to him and asked, "Hudson, what's going on? You seem distracted"Hudson, taking a deep sigh, replied, "James, I... I got divorced from my wife."James' eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected revelation. The news hit him like a bolt from the blue."What? When?!" He asked, his voice echoing in the entire courtyard of the pack house.Hudson sighed tiredly and relaxed in his chair, "It's been like, a week now" he informed and James stared at him like he grew an extra head.James couldn't contain his curiosity and asked again, "Why did you divorce your wife, Hudson? And how come I didn't know about
Author's POV:Hudson who was observing the entire club couldn't help but ask James again,"Tell me more about this Triplets" he said.James chuckled over the soft music."Well, there isn't anything much to know about them. But Let me tell you, Hudson," James began, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "The Triplets Alphas are not to be taken lightly. They are not only the strongest individuals in the country but also considered by many to be the most handsome. It's like they were blessed with both brawn and beauty."He paused for a while and chucked his whiskey to the back of his throat."These Triplets were born into a life of privilege and wealth. Their parents, who were immensely proud of them, had nurtured them to be the epitome of success. From a young age, the Triplets were groomed to excel in every aspect of their lives, whether it was academics, sports, or their social standing."He continued and Hudson's eyes shone in surprise."But here's the thing, the Triplets are not just kno

Author's POV:Jackson flipped the desk, shattering it against the wall with a growl. There were claw marks on the walls as well. “Where is she?!” He growled furiously.Jaxon sat there, his legs crossed, watching the scene unfold. The longer they were away from Mia, the more they went insane. With each passing day, Jaxon was growing obsessed with finding her. Initially, he had been wary of her.She had been so powerful to make each of his brothers lose control of their senses. He was always the calm and collected one but the moment he had found her, he had felt this animalistic side of him come alive.He wasn't as excited to find a mate anymore if this was the power she had over him.Jackson on the other end was furious. He grew angrier and angrier every day. Angry at the wolves who couldn't find Mia and angry at her for running away. All that anger was finally causing him to burst.Neither Jace nor Jaxon stopped him from tearing through this room.Jace was sulking with a broken heart.
Author's POV:It had already been a week. Jackson and Jace joined the search. They managed to track down her scent to the town two hours away but after that, her scent just vanished, like she never existed.It put the Triplets on edge.They created a reward for anyone who had information on Mia, thousands of dollars were offered up. The Alphas of smaller packs joined the search as well. They wanted to one-up each other and get on the Triplet's good side. They would do anything and now, their one chance was to find Mia.The Triplets didn't disclose why they wanted her. They figured that if their enemies found out that she was their mate, they would try to use her as a weakness.Every day, wolves reported back a futile search to them. It didn't matter how skilled they were, they couldn't find her.“Mia doesn't want to be found and she's doing a good job about it,” Jaxon said exasperated as he sat in his office with his brothers. Jackson and Jace had just returned from their search. Each
Author's POV:“WHAT DO YOU MEAN GONE?!” Jaxon barked, unable to control his anger.Melanie was startled, taking a step back. “I mean she left. When I got home yesterday, she wasn't back and there was a note by my bed,” she said, bringing out the note from her pocket. She handed it over to Jaxon who read it and passed it to his brothers.“I knew it. We shouldn't have come off on her like that.” He growled, standing to his feet and causing the chair to scrape on the ground loudly.“She's run off?” Jace asked, being the last to read the note. “But why? We were polite, we told her that we would wait for her to think about it.”“It’s the f*cking ex-husband,” Jackson growled. “She’s been so hurt by the little turd that she can’t move past it and let us love her.”“What do we do?”Jaxon was silent and they could tell that the wheels in his head were turning. He was thinking about what they were going to do next. Before they could fix this, they needed to find her first.“We need to find her.
Mia's POV:Talking to Glenda was easier than I thought. She had this calming and free spirit about her. I almost forgot the reason I was here in the first place until I was done with my meal. And it was an incredible chicken stew.“You want seconds?” Glenda asked, picking up our bowls.“No, thank you,” I said, waving my hands in front of her. “I'm good.”“Hmm,” she said thoughtfully, looking at the pot, “I thought I perfected the recipe. I guess it's not any good then. Oh well.” She dropped the plates in the sink.“No, no, that was the best stew I've ever had. I mean it. I'm just full or I'd have helped myself to the whole pot.” I chuckled, nervously.“Oh great then, we can open tomorrow.” She said cheerfully. “I've been trying to make the best stew this town has ever tasted for the past week. Thankfully, you came in at the right time to taste my final recipe.”I offered her a smile. “Glad to help.”“So, what were you saying, child?” Glenda asked, fixing her attention on me. I swallow
Author’s POV:Mia didn't know where she was going. All she knew was that she walked over to the small apartment she shared with Melanie and parked a few of her things. Melanie was sleeping at the orphanage tonight for a night shift with the younger kids.She couldn't just leave and make her worry. Instead, she grabbed a sheet of paper and wrote her a message:Melanie,I’m sorry to do this but I need some space. Staying at the orphanage means that I have to see the Triplets again. I don't think I want another mate, Mel. I won't put myself in a situation like that again.I don't when I'll be back but don't look for me. Tell Jennifer that I quit. Take care of yourself.Love,Mia xxx.She folded the note and kept it by her bedside table where she was sure Melanie would see it when she came in to sleep.Getting one last look at the house, Mia locked the doors and took the bus to the next town. She didn't know anyone there but maybe She could start a new life. Without the burden of her past
Mia’s POV:“What?!” I exclaimed in disbelief. I saw Hudson and Alpha James standing a few feet away. My eyes lingered on my ex-husband for a few minutes, reawakening the feelings and hurt that I had buried for so long.“You heard him,” one of the Triplets added, taking my attention back to them. He was the one called Jackson, “You're our mate.”“Is this some kind of a joke?” I scoffed, folding my hand across my chest.The Triplet wearing the blue t-shirt and khaki coloured trousers approached me, raising his hands. “We mean no harm. It’s the truth. You must have felt it.”I scoffed. I did feel something when I looked into their eyes. But it wasn't enough. Hudson is my mate, was. There was no way that the moon goddess would give me another mate, talk less of three after all that I've been through.It sounded too cruel. It's like she's trying to play a joke on me and put me through hell. I was burning with rage.“Do you think you can just come in here and say whatever you want? Is this
Author’s POV:The Triplets couldn’t think of anything else except to find where that scent was coming from. It drew them in, calling on them like a sweet melody. They were enthralled by the scent. Nothing mattered anymore.“Upstairs?” the manager repeated, a little confused.“Are there any workers left inside the orphanage?” Jaxon asked as Jackson took a few steps forward, sniffing the air.The manager gasped as she saw the color of the Triplets eyes. It was the red color of Alphas. Something was happening.She tried not to stutter as she replied. “A few of the workers stayed with the smaller children who couldn't come out to welcome you.”“Take us to them,” Jace ordered, surprising himself as a low growl slipped out.“That won't be necessary,” Jackson said, “I have the scent.” The Triplets took the staircase up, followed closely by the manager who instructed everyone to wait. Alpha James and Hudson entered the orphanage to follow them.Jackson walked straight to the children's playro
Author's POV:The excitement outside the orphanage was contagious. The workers and older children waited outside for the arrival of the Triplets. Melanie joined a coworker with ginger hair who stood out front with a great view.In a matter of minutes, the Triplets made their entrance. They were followed by an entourage of black cars, including the Alpha of the Silver Pack and his followers. From an upstairs window, Mia watched the cars as they parked, forming a long line.Guards filed out of the cars and walked over to three other black cars. Mia guessed that it must belong to the Triplets. After all, it looked much more expensive than the other cars lined up. But just as the front door was being opened, a little kid pulled Mia's hand asking for her attention.“Oh, what's wrong?” She asked, following after him and leaving her view at the window. One of the Triplets stepped out.“It’s Alpha Jackson,” one of the workers muttered.Jackson was the first to step out. He wore an impeccable
