Semua Bab Claimed By The Alpha Triplets : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Naeris's POV I look back at him and narrowed my eyes. "What do you mean?"He lifted his head up from my neck, and spun me around so I faced him. His hands rose to my temple, where he brushed a stray hair from my face. He wrapped his free hand around my waist, and my breath hitched. "Do you see her looking at him like this?" He murmured, his voice a low rumble. My heart was stuttering like a broken jukebox. "Like what?"He leaned in closer, his eyes glowing very softly. "Like he means the whole world to her," he said quietly. In that moment, all I could see was him. My brain had gone silent, only replaces by the familiar feeling of comfort I felt only when he was around. I swallowed, but shook my head regardless. "I think she's too hot headed for that," I said, raising an eyebrow. Aeron smiled, then it broke into a chuckle. I smiled softly too, then giggled. "Yeah, that's right. But it's beyond that. I've never liked her, even after she stayed so long with Nyxion. It felt like she

Nyxion's POV Naeris shifted uncomfortably, avoiding my eyes. The room fell silent after Draven's words, and we were all waiting for what she would say. Low key, I was waiting for what she'd say too. Our last encounter wasn't exactly on good terms, and I thought this was a chance to make things right. Regardless of the way I felt about where she came from. Naeris exhaled and nodded. "Yeah, I'll do it," She said softly. She was so soft spoken that sometimes it hurt to hear her speak. A part of me felt happy that she agreed, but another felt conflicted. How would I survive 3 days to a week of being around her all the time without losing my mind?******"It was insane. You needed to see how fast we ran. I don't think I've ever been that scared for you," Aeron said, chuckling softly in the room. It was noon now, and I was with him and Varek, discussing....well, what brothers discuss. "That's very unlikely. Remember when she died? I thought he was going to kill himself," Varek chimed

Naeris's POV When I looked at him again, I didn’t understand what I saw. “I… you’re not ready yet,” he whispered, his voice breaking like he wasn’t even sure of his own words. My brows furrowed, but I let it be. He kissed me on the forehead, whispering soft things about how his day would be packed, and that he just wanted to see me before he left. “Don’t get too battered or beaten,” I teased, the earlier weight in my chest completely gone. He nodded, humming softly. “You’ll take care of me either way, won’t you?” I swallowed the nervous lump in my throat. “I mean… what choice do I have?” He chuckled, that soft gravelly sound that always did strange things to my chest. He kissed me once more on the forehead and let me go, disappearing down the hall like nothing had just happened. I stood there a while longer, my heart caught somewhere between calm and confusion. Everything was shifting too quickly. The mate bond. Nyxion’s strange apology. The way I was already falling for Ae

Nyxion's POV The room fell heavily silent after she left. Avery, Varek, and Aerila were still in the room, all staring at me with concerned eyes. “I’m alive. You guys can rest easy now,” I muttered. I felt a bit too uncomfortable with how they were paying all their attention to me. Aerila still had her hands wrapped around my head, cradling me like I was an egg about to crack. “We need to find out what this stupid poison is. I can’t lose you, Nyxion,” she whispered brokenly, running her slender fingers through my hair. For a second, I allowed myself to lean into it. For another, I wanted to forget about her. And for the third, I realized I couldn’t, and this was pointless. The hallucinations I had seen were strange, but not abnormal. What I didn’t understand was why they looked similar to Naeris. Or was it my wolf being annoyed that I refused to reach out to her? I couldn’t tell. But the second it seemed like I saw her in the room, I pushed myself to get up. She didn’t acc

Nyxion's POV A week. That’s how long it took to stand without feeling like my legs were made of stone. The poison had left my muscles stiff, my chest sore, but I’d be damned if I stayed in bed another day. I was Alpha, not some fragile old wolf waiting for the end. So yes, I pushed myself out of bed and started my duty before mutiny happened. The council room smelled of parchment, ink, and the faint musk of wolves who’d been in meetings too long. Varek stood near the far table, leaning over the map of Talon’s territory. Aeron was on his right, arms crossed, his jaw locked in that way that told me he was either uninterested in what was going on here, or just tired. Draven, of course, looked the same as always; unreadable yet slightly intrigued. “We’ve discussed this before. I don’t get why we’re still at it. We hit from the middle,” Varek said, tapping a spot on the map with his finger. “It’s their weakest point. The flanks are guarded, but the center—” “—is a chokehold,”
