Mia’s POV:

My eyes widened. Why were they here already? Did someone already inform them of my arrival? I looked out the window just in time to see them getting out of their cars. The guards stationed in front bowed.

Oh. It must have been them. They had seen me come in here and they must have informed the Triplets. Either way, they were here and I had to meet them.

I turned back to look at Melanie and Jennifer. “How do I look?” I asked, suddenly feeling self-conscious. I was meeting my mates for crying out loud and I was wearing what I considered a plain dress.

“You look decent. Now, go!” Melanie said, pushing me to walk back to the entrance. Just as she did that, the Triplets appeared looking left, then right until they spotted me.

Time seemed to stand still as they stared at me. Then, as if in slow motion, they walked towards me. My heart raced the closer they came.

'Mate,’ Cassey growled, excitedly.

“Um…” I started to say but I was lost on words. They were here and I didn't know wha

    Mia's POV:I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little floored by this gesture. There were enough flowers to start a whole shop outside my door and now, the driver.“Oh, yes!” Melanie squealed. “Look at you, you're so lucky.”I raised a brow at her. “What do you mean ‘me’? We're both riding to work.” I corrected her.Her face immediately flushed and she shook her hand in front of me. “Oh, no, I couldn't do that.” She chuckled nervously.“Well, I insist. Anywhere I go, you go.” I said sternly grabbing her arm and walking towards the driver. “And if the Triplets don't like that, then they're going to be disappointed.”Melanie and I took the car and the guards escorted us to the orphanage. It was a little overkill because it brought more attention to us than keeping us safe.“Thank you,” I said to the driver. He bowed and I lowered my head. He was older than me and I felt weird for having him bow at me. I watched him get back into the car and drive away.I let out a breath. “I think I'm

    Mia's POV:“From hair to nails, waxing to massages, the Triplets have booked the beauty parlor to attend to your every need.” She explained.“They booked the beauty parlor? You mean the whole thing?” I gestured at the large building behind her.She smiled. It wasn't mocking or anything. She seemed happy that I was getting this treatment for some reason. “Yes, the whole thing.”Why would they do that? Why would they want to change everything about me? Was I not good enough for them?It reminded me of Hudson. The only reason he paid for me to have my hair done or get massages was when he had important events. He needed me to be the trophy wife.I thought that he just wanted to doll me up but he specifically asked for my hair to be straightened because he didn't like my curls. I don't want the Triplets to do the same thing to me.“Don't look so worried. They asked me to get your permission first before anything was done. They wanted to make sure that you were comfortable and—” she paused

    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

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:It had been several weeks since the Triplets had attended to anything relating to the council. Their focus was on Mia and the council of wolves needed them to finalize decisions relating to their pack.Neither Jackson nor Jace, was in the right frame of mind to make any decision. Not even Jaxon himself. They were obsessed with finding their mate. Every waking hour was spent pondering where she had gone.It was almost like she had disappeared from the surface of the earth and it scared them to bits to think about it. What was worse was how Jaxon was feeling. After imagining the scent of her at that cottage, he seemed to have lost all the qualities that pointed him out as the leader of the Triplets.He still thought about that cottage but he had been wrong. He knew that she wasn't the one but his heart had said that she was the one. It had confused him and overridden his sense of thinking. Jaxon began to doubt his judgment.If he wasn't sound enough to tell people apart, h

    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

    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
