All Chapters of Puck Destiny : A Triplet's Claim: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

HUNTER'S POVI woke up naked in a bed that wasn't mine. My head felt like someone had cracked it open with a sledgehammer. My mouth tasted like I'd been chewing on dirt and my whole body felt wrong in a way I couldn't explain.I sat up too fast and the room spun. Had to grab the headboard to keep from falling over.Where the hell was I?The room came into focus slowly. Hotel room. Cheap one based on the worn carpet and the water stains on the ceiling. Definitely not the compound.I looked down. No clothes. Nothing. Just a sheet that smelled like perfume I recognized but didn't want to.Victoria.The door to the bathroom opened and there she was. Fully dressed. Hair perfect. Makeup done. Looking at me with this small smile that made my stomach turn."Good morning," she said. "How are you—""What the fuck did you do?" My voice came out raw. Rough."Hunter—""What did you DO?" I was on my feet before I knew I was moving. Had to grab the wall because my legs didn't want to hold me. "Where

INKA'S POV I was still in bed even though the sun was up and I could hear Zane moving around downstairs making breakfast. Seth had finally fallen asleep next to me after staying awake most of the night watching me like I might break apart if he looked away. I picked up the phone. Unknown number. The photo loaded slowly. At first I didn't understand what I was looking at. Just shapes and colors that didn't make sense. Then they did. Hunter. Shirtless. In a bed I didn't recognize. His eyes half-closed like he was barely conscious. And Victoria. Right next to him. Smiling at the camera like she'd won something. The timestamp at the bottom: last night. 2:47 AM. Exactly when the pain in my chest had been at its worst. I stared at the photo. Kept staring like if I looked long enough it would turn into something else. Something that made sense. Something that didn't feel like someone had reached into my chest and ripped everything out. A text came through under the photo. (Thought

INKA'S POVThe car finally stopped after what felt like hours but was probably only thirty minutes.I'd spent the whole drive trying to think of ways to escape. Watching for landmarks. Trying to figure out where we were going. But Derek had taken so many turns on back roads I didn't recognize that I'd lost track completely.We weren't on pack territory anymore. That much I knew. The pull of the pack bond had faded miles ago.Derek got out and slammed his door. A second later he opened mine."Out."I didn't move."I said out." He grabbed my arm and pulled. I had to scramble to keep from falling face-first onto the gravel.I looked around. We were in a parking lot behind what looked like an old warehouse or industrial building. The kind of place that had probably been abandoned for years based on the broken windows and graffiti covering the walls.But there were cars here. A lot of them. And I could hear music and voices coming from inside."Where are we?" My voice came out smaller than

INKA'S POV I looked at the bright neon sign. 24-hour diner. We went inside and sat in a booth in the back. Tyler set his phone on the table. "Okay. Time to call someone. Who should it be?"I stared at the phone.Seth and Zane would come get me in a heartbeat.But then I'd have to explain everything. The photo. Blocking Hunter. Running away. Derek.All of it."I don't know," I said."You gotta know someone who'd want to know you're safe."I did. I knew exactly who would want to know.But calling them meant facing everything I'd been running from."Can I just sit here for a minute?" I asked. "Just until I figure out what to do?"Tyler studied me for a long moment. Then nodded."Yeah. We can do that."The waitress brought us coffee.I wrapped my hands around the warm cup and tried to figure out what the hell I was supposed to do now.**The coffee was getting cold.I'd been staring at it for like ten minutes without taking a sip. Just watching the steam rise and disappear into nothing.

Author's POV Victoria stared at the pregnancy test in her hand, watching the second pink line darken. Positive. Just like the three others she'd taken over the past two days.She set it down on the bathroom counter next to the others, all lined up like evidence. Like proof of something that would change everything.Her reflection in the mirror looked pale. Tired. She'd barely slept since that night with Hunter. Since everything had gone exactly according to plan.Well. Almost according to plan.She hadn't expected to feel this way about it. This strange mixture of triumph and something else. Something that felt uncomfortably close to guilt.She pushed the feeling away and focused on her reflection. Practiced her expression. Shocked. Uncertain. A little scared. The kind of face a girl made when she found out she was pregnant unexpectedly.Perfect.She'd been staying in the guest wing for almost a week now. Miranda had insisted she remain at the compound despite Alpha Graham's initial
