All Chapters of Claimed by Three Alphas, Fated to One: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Audrey’s POVThe Unity Oath ceremony hadn’t even finished properly. Everyone was pretending it was a success, acting like the packs were united, but it wasn’t unity. It was panic. Elders cutting things short before blood was spilled. Wolves itching for a fight but forced to swallow it. Hunters lurking in the dark like sharks circling a cage.And me, standing dead center while my wrist decided to glow.Not a faint shimmer, and it was not something I could hide anymore. Actual burning light crawling across my scar like someone had shoved fire under my skin. People saw it. They definitely saw it. That was the part I couldn’t scrub out of my head. The whispers, the stares, the way every face in the crowd turned toward me at once. Like, oh, she’s the problem. She’s the reason this whole thing’s about to blow up.By the time Monday hit, the entire damn town knew.Walking into Ravenfalls High felt like walking straight into a glass box. People didn’t even pretend to be subtle. Heads turned,

Audrey’s POVThe fallout from the stupid dance list hadn’t even cooled before things got worse. By the time gym rolled around the next day, half the school had decided it was open season on me. I heard whispers trailing me down the hallway, girls laughing behind their hands, and guys making dumb comments like, “How’s she gonna dance with three at once?”And then there was Caleb.He didn’t wait, and he didn’t even give me a second to breathe after Coach barked out the warmup drills. He was already there, leaning against the bleachers with that cocky grin like he’d been planning it since breakfast.“Partner up, princess,” he said, ignoring the fact this wasn’t a partnered activity. He dragged his hand through his dark hair, all smug and shiny with sweat from the earlier laps. “Figured we should practice for the ball. Because I don’t want you stepping on my shoes in front of the whole town.”I rolled my eyes so hard I swear it hurt. “We’re in gym class and not dance rehearsal.”“Exactly

Audrey’s POVThe moment Adrian’s voice cut through the ballroom, low, cold, and dangerous, I knew something was about to crack. He didn’t just say it. He declared it, like some king making a decree. She’s with me. Loud enough that every stupid pair of ears in that glittering ballroom turned toward us. And I felt my entire body lock because, what the hell? No one was supposed to claim me like that. Not here, and not in front of everyone.“Back off,” Caleb snarled first. His hand was still wrapped around mine, heat burning, and I could feel the tension in his shoulders like he was two seconds away from tearing the whole place down.Derek moved next, stepping in between like a storm ready to rip open the ceiling. “Don’t start this shit here,” he growled at both of them, voice low but carrying, because people were already whispering, and heads were twisting.Adrian didn’t even blink. His mask caught the chandelier light, but his eyes, gosh! his eyes cut straight through the stupid lace an

Adrian’s POVI shouldn’t have brought her here. That thought pulsed in the back of my mind the entire walk out to the edge of town, but I shoved it down, the way I always did when my gut told me something and my ego told me the opposite. I had to, because if anyone was going to make her face the truth, it sure as hell wasn’t going to be Caleb with his growls and Derek with his moody silences.It had to be me.The chapel loomed out of the woods. The stones were blackened at the edges, moss climbing up the cracks, the roof patched badly decades ago. Hunters didn’t build this chapel for comfort, they built it for survival, and this place had been the beating heart of their oath for longer than Ravenfalls had even been on the map.Audrey slowed when she saw it, her hand twitching at her side like she wanted to reach for mine but didn’t trust herself to. Or maybe didn’t trust me.“What is this place?” she asked in a low voice, like someone might be listening.“You know what it is,” I sai

Caleb’s POVI didn’t even think before I made the move. I just grabbed her and dragged her, her wrists still raw from the silver ropes, her legs stumbling because she was still half in shock. Derek’s roar shook the walls behind us, the crash of claws against steel, hunters screaming like animals who didn’t realize what kind of monster they’d cornered.“Move!” I barked, shoving Audrey toward the back door of the hideout.Her eyes was wide open in surprised, like she didn’t even know if she was awake or still trapped in some nightmare, she looked at me“ What about Derek?”“I said move!” I didn’t let myself look back. If I looked back, and I saw him fighting alone, I’d break, and I couldn’t break right now. Not when she was still in my hands, still trembling under me.The door burst open under my shoulder, spilling us into the night. The air outside felt wrong, and too cold. I could smell blood. Hers. His. Mine.We ran, crashing through weeds, down some slope that led into the trees. M
