All Chapters of Her Three Wicked Mates: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Elara'S POVMy world had been turned upside down, again, as I sat with Xavier, Lysander, and Kaelen in the formal dining room and listened to MRS. HOLT’s lawyer. MRS. HOLT had packed up and vanished last night, not one for long goodbyes. Surprisingly, she was the only one to leave. The rest of PENUMBRA was set on getting their revenge on 5TH CIRCLE.“This is not a will, since MRS. HOLT is alive and well, but she left me with some legal instructions,” the professionally dressed redheaded beauty seated before us said. She set her briefcase on the table and opened it to retrieve a thick stack of papers.MS. JOHNSON perched a pair of delicate framed reading glasses on her nose and said, “These are the instructions left to me by MRS. ELIZA HOLT.”I squinted at her. Either she was human, or the glasses were for show. I couldn’t tell which.“First order of business, I have all the paperwork for most of PENUMBRA’s legal holdings, including the title to this house, all of which I’m to turn ove

Elara'S POVThe wolf taking up the rear, who I recognized as Aya, scurried through the opening right on Lysander’s heels. A blast of magic hit her from behind and her body slammed into Lysander. The door in the ward closed with a visible ripple of magic. The next spell hit the barrier and dispersed.I dropped my shift and sprinted to Aya’s unmoving form. Lysander, human and nude, crouched at her other side. We both watched as Aya transformed. She groaned.“Are you okay?” I scanned her for an injury.“Fine.” She sat up and winced. “The spell just knocked me on my ass. Fuckers.” She glared up at the flying witches who continued to assault our ward.I followed her gaze. There were six of them on broomsticks, diving and swooping, trying to break through the barrier. I was relieved to find it held up under their attack. Let them hack away at it—they would only expend their energy and weaken from the effort.“Fucking bastards,” Lysander said. “They knew we’d be out hunting on the full moon.

Elara'S POV“My lords, miss, this… arrived.”Jace set the square box on Xavier’s desk and stepped back.“I placed a force field around it, just in case. It was dropped off outside the ward near the front entrance sometime early this morning. No one recalls seeing who left it there. It’s addressed to Ms. Vance.”My pulse sped and my palms grew clammy. Whoever it was from, it couldn’t be good. Boxes that showed up for me were never a good sign. And this one had a strange, dark discoloration on the bottom like whatever was inside had leaked.I reached to open it when Xavier said, “Stop! It could be a bomb, or a curse, or any number of vile surprises.”He had a point. I grabbed my wand. I would open the package while it was still surrounded by Jace’s protection charm. Using magic, I sliced through the tape and opened all four flaps on the top, then waited.Nothing happened.My three mates and I surrounded the box and peered inside. I recoiled with a shriek.“Jace,” Xavier said. “Get this

Elara'S POVMaking Forrest wait, chained and secured in the dungeon, was my first act of torment. I was in charge now, and I wanted his thoughts manifesting scenarios of what I was going to do to him once I deigned to go down there. I wanted him to sweat. This was going to be a long, long game that we played together.With only a few hours left until dawn, I desperately needed a shower and sleep. My mates and I were gathered in the parlor, having a stiff drink after our night of shenanigans. I set down my empty glass, the ice cubes rattling together, and studied the three bosses who each owned my heart. Maybe I wasn’t that tired. I was in the mood to celebrate.I stood, catching their attention.“I’m going to shower, in that enormous bathroom, in our bedroom. If anyone wants to join me…”Leaving that invitation open, I started down the hallway to my room. Three heavy pairs of footsteps sounded behind me and I grinned.While I’d moved into our new room, none of the others had joined me

Elara'S POV“Boss,” Ash said, and it took me a minute to realize he was speaking to me. He had his phone in hand, but his gaze held mine. “Just got a text that we have company upstairs. A bunch of hybrids, apparently.”I turned away from Forrest’s bloodied face.“Okay. Claire, he’s all yours.”“Thanks. Don’t worry, I’ll keep him warm until you get back.”She hit him with a jolt of magical electricity and Forrest jerked. Ash remained at his spot near the door, watching and keeping guard.I passed him on my way out.“Make sure she doesn’t kill him. He hasn’t suffered nearly enough yet.”“You got it, boss.”Making my way through the basement corridor and up the stairs to the main floor, I jerked to a stop in the hallway’s brighter light. My hands, forearms, and clothes were covered with blood. Claire and I had gone at him hard, and I could only imagine what the rest of me looked like. I cringed. As much as I wanted Forrest to bleed, I didn’t want his fluid coating me.Suddenly, I felt ta
