All Chapters of CONSUMED IN THE TRIPLET ALPHAS' HEAT : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

KainGuilt crashed through me as I watched Lira walk away. She clutched her torn dress around her body and moved carefully. Every step showed the evidence of what I had done to her against that tree, like an animal.What had I just done? I had lost all control. I had taken her like a beast, with no gentleness, no care.I had gripped her hips until bruises formed under my fingers. I had slammed into her against the tree while the bark scraped her skin. I had pulled her hair, bent her, used her like she was nothing more than a vessel for my lust.Did I hurt her? The question tormented me. She had said no, but did she mean it? Or was she too afraid to tell the truth, too conditioned to please, too frightened to admit pain?I had never been that way with anyone. Not even with Elora, where I had stayed controlled and careful. But with Lira, something primal took over. My wolf demanded to claim her, mark her, own her completely. I became nothing more than a wild beast.She brought it out in

Lira Kain's body curved around mine. His arm lay heavy across my waist and made me feel warm and safe."How was your day?" I asked."Long," he said simply."Tell me."He sighed as though talking was a burden. "Boring stuff. Preparations, security details, ceremony protocols for the Primus ceremony."I felt him tense behind me. "Are you nervous?"Silence stretched. Then he said quietly and honestly, "Terrified."That startled me. I never expected Kain to fear anything. "Of what?""Everything," he admitted. "Being challenged during the ceremony and losing like my father did. Being found unworthy. Not strong enough. Not good enough to lead."I turned in his arms to face him. "You're the strongest person I know." I touched his face and meant every word. I loved him. I realized it fully in this moment. The love was different for each brother, but it was real for all three.He looked at me. "Sometimes you don't talk like an omega."I froze.Oh goddess."You're wise and articulate. With time

ZuriAthena led twelve young girls in afternoon devotion to the Goddess when I entered."Athena," I called without waiting for the prayer to finish. "I need to speak with you."The worshippers turned and stared. Offense and scandal marked their faces. Athena finished the prayer calmly and dismissed the group before turning to me."Should I be worried that someone who has never been devout has visited the temple twice in a row?" she asked once we were alone.The last time was weeks ago. I'd confided about Lira and the bonds. That was when Athena told me the devastating truth. Lira was fated to all three brothers."I found something about Lira," I said. Desperation crept into my voice despite my effort to sound controlled. "She has no background. No records at all from Blackwood."I showed her the letter, the search, the complete absence of history. "That's suspicious, isn't it?"Athena's response was careful and measured. "Perhaps she's simply from somewhere else and not Blackwood.""Sh

LiraJax reached behind and grabbed an ice cube from a cup he'd prepared earlier. Then he pressed it to my clit without warning.I gasped. My hips buckled from the cold against the heat of his fingers. It was overwhelming, confusing, perfect. His thumb circled my clit as the ice melted. Cold water ran down. I came hard, biting my lip to keep from screaming. My body shook against him.I trembled from the orgasm, from the cold, from everything. His shirt was open from me pulling at it. I saw the tattoo on his chest. Bold letters spelled "LIRA" right over his heart."What is that?" I gasped and touched it, half expecting it to be fake."My tattoo," he said with an unbothered grin."Please tell me that's not permanent," I begged."It is." He laughed and pulled his shirt fully open to show the full design. My name in beautiful script, surrounded by subtle wolf imagery."You can't just ink my name onto your chest and expect the world to fall in line," I protested. "What if you regret it? Wha

LiraTova appeared from down the hall. She'd been watching in silence. She'd seen everything, heard everything. She rushed to me.I started crying. I couldn't hold it anymore. "This is what I was avoiding all this time.""This isn't love," I sobbed. "This is possession. They'll start all over again with the fights and the competitions. It's just crazy.""Should we go out and avoid them all?" Tova suggested. "Just leave for the day?"I nodded. "Yes, I need to get away."I went to my room to dress and leave with Tova. But my wolf ached with physical pain in my chest that pulled me toward Riven.It was like my wolf could sense he was hurt and needed me. She wouldn't let me leave without checking on him first."I need to check on Riven first," I told Tova. She nodded with understanding. "I'll wait."I found him in the library, hunched over papers spread everywhere. Ancient texts, pack histories, charts, diagrams. All about the Blood Oak and its decay and its meaning.He looked even more pa
