Owned by the triplet のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

It had been a few days since the big brunch and the pile of furs. Things in the house felt strange. On the surface, the triplets were being better than ever. They were always there, always touching me, and always making sure I had everything I needed. But there was something underneath it all that felt off.Alaric would sometimes stare at me for minutes without saying a word, and when I caught him, he’d just blink and give me a sad smile. Silas wasn't as bouncy as usual, and even Killian seemed quieter, like he was brooding over something he couldn't fix. I noticed it, but I didn't push. I figured they were just stressed about the council or the guards. I let it slide because I was finally feeling like I could breathe again.That peace didn't last long.I was sitting in the small living area near the front of the house, reading a book, when the front doors swung open with a bang. I stood up, my heart starting to race. I thought maybe we were being attacked again, but whe

The second I smelled her phone on the laundry room counter, I knew we were in trouble. I didn't just feel it; I felt my wolf roar inside me like he was being burned alive. Elena was gone. She had left her phone, her only link to us, and vanished into the night."She’s gone," I roared, slamming my fist into the wall. The drywall cracked under my knuckles. "She left the phone. She’s out there in the dark with no protection!"Alaric came running down the hall, his face going from pale to ghostly white. Silas was right behind him, his eyes already glowing a bright, angry blue. The estate turned into a war zone in seconds. Guards were shouting, cars were starting up, and the rain began to pour down in thick, heavy sheets."Find her!" Alaric screamed at the guards. "If a single hair on her head is touched, I will kill every one of you!"But I wasn't waiting for the guards. I ran out the back door and shifted before my feet even hit the grass. The change was painful and fas

Silas POVThe jewelry store was just the start. I could tell Elena was still inside her own head, thinking about secrets and things I wasn't ready to talk about yet. I needed to change her focus. I needed her to understand that being a Blackwood wasn't just about surviving attacks or dealing with my crazy father. It was about power.Instead of going back to the estate where Isabella was lurking like a bad smell, I told the driver to head to the city center."Where are we going now?" Elena asked, touching the diamond collar I had just locked around her neck. "Silas, I’m tired. I want to go home.""Not yet," I said, leaning over to kiss her cheek. "You’ve seen the house, and you’ve seen the pack lands. But you haven't seen how we actually run this world. Welcome to Blackwood Industries."The car pulled up to the tallest building in the district. It was all glass and steel, reaching up into the clouds. Every person walking by on the sidewalk stopped to look at the c

I decided to take the short way. I was tired of feeling like a ghost in the hallways of my own home. Alaric stayed close to me, his hand resting on the small of my back, while Emma trailed a few steps behind us. We reached the library doors, and I could smell that heavy, floral perfume again. It was thick enough to make my head swim."I have to check on something in the study," Alaric said, pausing at the door. "Will you be okay for five minutes? Emma is right here."I looked at Emma, who gave me a calm nod. "I'll be fine, Alaric. Go."He kissed my temple and walked away. I took a deep breath and pushed the heavy doors open. The library was huge, with walls covered in books that went all the way to the top. Isabella was sitting in a large chair by the fireplace, sipping tea. She didn't look up when I walked in, but I knew she knew I was there."You have a lot of nerve walking around like you belong here," Isabella said. Her voice was smooth, like honey with a hidden

Killian POVThe estate was starting to feel like a cage for all of us. After the stunt Alaric pulled at the university, I knew I needed to get Elena out into my world. Not the world of finance or jewelry stores, but the world where I could actually breathe."We’re going to The Den," I said as we all piled into the large black SUV."The biker bar?" Elena asked, looking a bit nervous. She was wearing a simple pair of jeans and a dark shirt, her hair pulled back. The diamonds Silas bought her were tucked under her collar, but I knew they were there."It’s not just a bar, sweetheart," I said, starting the engine. "It’s my clubhouse. My men are there. It’s loud, it’s messy, and it’s exactly what we need."As I drove, the city lights began to fade behind us, replaced by the industrial edge of the docks. Elena was quiet for a few miles, staring out the window. Then, she turned her head and looked at the three of us."Can I ask you guys something?" she said. Her voic
