All Chapters of Claimed by Three: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Rhydan’s POVThe moment the bond answered—everything went wrong.A force slammed through the cabin hard enough to shake the walls.Not outward.Inward.Like the entire room had just been pulled toward a single point.Rhydan grabbed Aurenya instinctively before she hit the floor completely.“Aurenya!”But her body arched sharply in his arms, a broken gasp leaving her lips.The mark along her skin was glowing now.Not faintly.Fully.Like something underneath her flesh had finally stopped hiding.Kaelor swore under his breath. “The merge accelerated.”Rhydan snapped his head toward him. “Then stop it!”But Kaelor didn’t answer.Because outside—the presence had disappeared.Not gone.Moved.Too fast to track.Arinya stumbled backward suddenly with a sharp cry.Rhydan reacted instantly, reaching for her—but Lyssara caught her first.The younger twin wrapped both arms around her sister tightly, silver-blue eyes glowing faintly in the darkened room.“Don’t let go of me,” Arinya whispered

Aurenya’s POVThe moment Arinya screamed again, everything inside me snapped into motion.“No—”I tried to push forward, but Rhydan caught me instantly, holding me back like he already knew I would break myself trying to reach her.“Aurenya, you can’t move,” he said sharply.“I can hear her,” I whispered, breath shaking. “She’s right there—she’s scared—”Kaelor’s voice cut in, tense. “It’s not distance. It’s resonance.”Draven didn’t look away from the window. “The bond is using her as a signal point.”That sentence made my blood run cold.Lyssara’s voice flickered again inside my mind.Soft.Too calm.“The lines are opening.”Rhydan’s grip tightened. “Stop listening to it.”“I’m not trying to—” My voice broke. “It’s inside everything.”Another pulse hit.Harder than before.The cabin lights—what little remained—flickered violently. Wood groaned under pressure that didn’t belong to the physical world.Outside, the presence stopped moving.For a second.Then—it tilted its head.Like i

Lyssara’s POV The moment the bond opened— everything became louder. Not sound. Feeling. Thoughts brushing against each other too fast to separate. Fear. Anger. Pain. Love. Mama. Lyssara stood near the bedroom window, small fingers curled tightly against the fabric of her sleeve while silver-blue light flickered softly beneath her skin. Outside the house— something waited. Not fully visible. But watching. Always watching. Arinya moved in front of her instantly. “Stop looking at it.” Lyssara blinked slowly. “It’s looking back.” “I don’t care.” Arinya’s golden eyes glowed brighter again as another pulse shook the walls. A crack spread across the ceiling above them. She didn’t even flinch. But Lyssara felt it— the fear underneath her sister’s anger. Not fear for herself. Fear for everyone else. “The line is thinner now,” Lyssara whispered. Arinya turned sharply. “Can you stop saying creepy things for one second?” Normally Lyssara woul

Rhydan’s POV“You finally feel it too.”The words stayed in Rhydan’s head long after the presence stopped speaking.Because the worst part was—it was right.Something had changed.Not emotionally.Physically.Like a thread inside his chest had suddenly become visible.Connected.Alive.And pulling.Rhydan stepped back instinctively, jaw tight. “Get it out.”Kaelor frowned. “What?”“This,” Rhydan snapped, pressing a hand against his chest. “Whatever it just did.”Draven’s expression darkened slightly.“It didn’t do anything.”Rhydan looked at him sharply.Draven held his gaze.“You were already part of it.”Silence hit the cabin again.Aurenya closed her eyes briefly like the sentence physically hurt.Outside—the presence remained near the broken doorway now.Not forcing entry anymore.Waiting.Like it knew panic would do the work for it.Aurenya’s POVThe bond felt different now.Before, it was unstable.Now—it was connecting.Every emotion moved too fast between us.Rhydan’s ange

Rhydan’s POVThe moment Lyssara spoke again, the air changed.Not just colder.Heavier.Like the room had stopped belonging to them.Rhydan shifted instinctively in front of Aurenya, even though she was still barely conscious in his arms. His instincts were screaming at him now—loud, sharp, impossible to ignore.The twins weren’t just involved anymore.They were part of it.Kaelor was already moving, hands raised, trying to stabilize the collapsing containment lines.“It’s not just reacting to the bond,” Kaelor said tightly. “It’s syncing with it through her.”Draven didn’t look away from Lyssara.That alone was enough to make Rhydan uneasy.“What does that mean?” Rhydan snapped.Draven’s voice was quieter now. “It means she’s a conduit.”Arinya wiped blood from her lip where the backlash had hit her earlier, still standing even though her knees were shaking.“I don’t care what that means,” she said sharply. “Fix it.”Rhydan almost smiled at that.Almost.Because the way she said it—
