All Chapters of Claimed By My Triplet Alpha Stepsons: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Lucy's POVLater in the day, when the sky had gone dark and the moon had risen, Shaun came over to my bedroom again. I briefly thought about not letting him inside at first, but later decided against it. When he entered, he stood by the doorway, looking a little out of place before I gave him permission to step further inside. I slid into bed, watching him from under the bed covers, and waiting for him to join me.He didn't seem to understand my invitation, and instead went over to the couch by the corner of the room. “I understand if you still want to be alone. I'll be fine over here,” he said, taking off his shirt and lying down on the chair. In the dim lighting, I couldn't see his body, and maybe it was a good thing, because I didn't need it to haunt my sleep. I said nothing to him, but I didn't need to, because soon after that, a haze of sleep came over me, and I welcomed it.—In the middle of the night, I woke up to find myself drenched in sweat. My skin stuck to the bedshee

Lucy's POV“While I won't comment on what I think about you resorting to using a very outdated misnomer to address me, I also find it important to remind you that you are a widow, and a slave at that. It would be a wiser option to treat people like me with respect,” said Vladimir, narrowing his eyes at me. We had barely been in each other’s orbit for up to two minutes, and I already felt like I shouldn't have been there with him. I couldn't stand his guts already. If Daven had been suffocating, this man was oppressive.I took another sip of my wine, wishing that I had gone for something alcoholic to take the edge off the rough emotions I felt. “I very much like to give as much as I receive, Mr. Vinci. So to what do I owe this pleasure?”He lifted one wicked brow. “I only came to see for myself the woman that was causing so much . . . ruckus in Moongrowl. The maiden that stole my brother's failing heart.”So he had been aware of his brother's ailment? Interesting. “Stealing is putting

Shaun's POVUp and down I searched, but I found no trace of my brothers or my cousins. When I finally made my way to the main palace kitchen where food for the festival had been prepared, only then did it occur to.me that I should have come there from the very beginning.The place had been cleaned up, but there were still trays of food arranged on a counter. Untouched. I went up to them and sniffed a tray.I recoiled almost immediately when the scent reached my nostrils. It was faint, and not very obvious, which was why a werewolf could have accidentally ingested it, but what I could smell was no doubt Wolfsbane. Wolfsbane in an event for werewolves? Who was actually wicked enough to do such a thing?I bowed my head in disappointment. Once again, we had been outsmarted. First it was the poison attack on Lucy, and now this. We should have been more vigilant about something like that happening again, but could we have expected it to have been this widespread?This changed the course o

Lucy's POV The cliffs gaped wide open, waiting to swallow us whole. From the palace, I had always seen it from the palace. An endless, pitch-black abyss just waiting patiently for someone to fall straight into its maws. Never could I have imagined myself being right at its edge, close to meeting such an end.Back at the basement, Gert and Finn had taken Shaun and I captive with the use of silver knives, artefacts that had been banned from werewolf territory for years to protect us from those who sought to do us harm. Silver weapons were undoubtedly fashioned by humans, who had taken an interest in our kind, and often looked for ways to overpower us, which led to the rift between our races. Of course, as with all people, hearts were capable of treachery, and wolves would align with humans and vice versa every once in a while in order to achieve certain goals.Now, it appeared that silver weaponry was still very much in operation, which meant that even werewolves could gain access to t

Lucy's POVThere was so much blood. It sickened me to my stomach, but worse than that, was the feeling of dread that kept rising and falling like an ocean inside of me, crushing every other thing in its path. Seth had been fatally stabbed, and even from where I stood some meters away from him, I couldn't bring myself to watch the way the blood seeped out of his body slowly and painfully. There was a deep pain in my chest that only kept growing and growing like a wild weed. I hadn't felt this kind of pain since I found my own family murdered right in our living room.I tried to say his name, but all that came out was a messed up jumble of words. Nothing made sense. It didn't make sense at all that one moment he had been full of life, and now . . . he was . . .“Seth!” Shaun screamed, summoning power deep from within and breaking apart his bindings. The ropes around him snapped like they were made of mere rubber, but I knew better. The shock of seeing his brother in such a state had li
