All Chapters of Marked, Tamed, Owned by the Triplet Alphas: Chapter 131 - Chapter 136

LiraThe half-empty moonshade jar sat hidden in my closet, and I tried not to calculate how fast I was going through it. I had been careful with my dosage so it would last, but it was never going to be enough. That meant I would need more soon, which was a problem.Back at Blackwood, getting moonshade had been easy and accessible. Now that my mates knew Garrick had tried to use me, leaving pack territory felt risky. They would want to know why I needed to leave, where I was going, and who I was meeting. I could not answer any of that without exposing myself.I picked up the jar and turned it in my hands, watching the dark herb catch the morning light, then put it back where it was hidden.“Problem for later,” I muttered, setting it down.I found Tova in her room, curled into one of the oversized chairs with a book she clearly was not reading. She had been staring at the same page for several minutes.I dropped into the chair across from her. “So, my lady, how does it feel to be the Al

Lira I woke to cold sheets and silence.The space beside me where Kain had slept was empty, the indentation of his body already fading. He'd left early for Alpha duties. The sun barely crested the horizon, pale light filtering through the curtains.I stared at the ceiling, trying to hold onto last night: Three weeks. Just three weeks, and then it's done.Three weeks of pretending Tova was the woman he wanted.Three weeks of watching him touch her, smile at her, play the devoted suitor.Three weeks of lying.I pressed my hands against my eyes. I'd agreed to this. I knew what it would cost.I forced myself out of bed. The floor was cold as I padded to the vanity in the corner. My reflection stared back: tangled hair, shadows under my eyes, the faint flush still on my cheeks from last night.And beneath my nightdress, a faint glow.I pulled the fabric down. The triple mark sat just above my heart—three interlocking crescents that shimmered even in the dim light. It was brighter and wa

ZuriA guard appeared soon after and informed me the Alpha would see me. I was led into the main hall. Garrick and Selena sat at the far end in high-backed chairs, finishing business with pack members. When Garrick’s eyes found me, interest sparked.“Zuri,” Selena said, surprised. “You came all the way from Wild Fangs? That’s a long journey.”I shrugged. She gestured for me to sit. Minutes later, the hall emptied.“It’s good to see you again,” Garrick said. “I respect that you keep your end of agreements. That’s rare.”I forced a small smile.“So,” Selena said, leaning forward, “what’s new at the Alpha House? I’m hoping for something interesting.”“I wouldn’t know,” I said quietly. “I was exiled.”Their reactions were instant.“What?” Selena said. “Because of that omega brat?”I said nothing.“But why?” Garrick asked. “You’re family.”“Tell that to Kain,” I said. “He’s despised me since I questioned his judgment. Since he and his brothers started sleeping with Lira. She’s turned them
