All Chapters of MATED TO THE ALPHA TRIPLETS: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Hannah POVAfterThe crowd slowly faded until it was just us.The open ground felt larger now. Quieter. The kind of quiet that settles after something important has ended.I stood where I was, staring at the fresh earth. It didn’t look like enough. Nothing ever would.“She would be proud of you.”Lucien’s voice came gently from beside me.I didn’t turn immediately.“I don’t feel like I did anything,” I said.“You did,” he replied. “You showed up. You honored her. That matters.”I let out a small breath.Maybe he was right. But it still felt like something was missing.Time.More time with her.More words left unsaid.“I thought it would feel different,” I admitted.“How?” he asked.“I don’t know… lighter, maybe. Like I’d have closure.”He was quiet for a moment before answering.“Sometimes closure doesn’t come all at once. Sometimes it comes in pieces.”I nodded faintly.That sounded true.We stood there a little longer before Kael spoke from a few steps behind.“We should head back.”

Hannah POVRebuildingThe peaceful moments didn’t last forever.Not because something bad happened again.But because reality slowly returned.And reality was impossible to ignore.Three days after the burial, Kael asked me to join them for a council meeting.At first, I almost refused.Not because I didn’t care, but because I still wasn’t fully used to being involved in things like this. A part of me still felt like an outsider sometimes, even after everything.But then I remembered what I told myself at my mother’s grave.I was going to live.Not hide.So that morning, I got dressed and followed one of the maids toward the council room.The palace halls were busier than usual. Guards moved quickly through corridors carrying reports. Servants whispered quietly to one another while preparing supplies and food for different parts of the territory.Everyone was working.Trying to fix what Selene had destroyed.As I approached the council room, I could already hear voices inside.Kael’s

Hannah POVSeenWord spread quickly after the eastern village visit.Faster than I expected.By the next morning, almost everyone in the palace seemed to know about it. Servants whispered about how the villagers welcomed us. Guards spoke about the rebuilding efforts with more optimism. Even the council members looked slightly less tense during breakfast.It was strange seeing hope return little by little.Not because the kingdom was fully healed.It wasn’t.But people were finally starting to believe it could heal.And apparently, I had somehow become part of that belief.I still wasn’t sure how I felt about it.“You’re thinking too hard again.”Lucien’s voice pulled me from my thoughts.I looked up from my untouched tea to find him sitting across from me in the dining hall. Kael and Riven were nearby discussing something quietly with an advisor.“I’m not thinking too hard,” I lied.Lucien gave me a look.“You’ve been staring at the same cup for five minutes.”I glanced down at the te

Hannah POVRumorsThe morning after our outing, I woke up happier than I had in weeks.And honestly, that alone felt strange.For so long, waking up meant remembering something painful immediately. Fear. Grief. Chaos. Loss.But this morning…I opened my eyes and the first thing I remembered was laughter.Lucien glaring at Kael across the dinner table.Riven quietly exposing everyone’s embarrassing secrets.The sunset.The stars.The way all three of them looked at me like I truly belonged beside them.The memory warmed my chest instantly.Then reality returned.Because apparently, privacy did not exist in Alesia.At all.I realized that the moment I entered the dining hall.The room went strangely quiet for half a second before everyone quickly pretended they weren’t staring.I slowed slightly.“…Why are people looking at me like that?”Lucien, who was already seated, immediately looked far too amused.Kael sighed.Riven didn’t even bother hiding his expression.My eyes narrowed.“Wha

Hannah POVThe Quiet OneIf Lucien was warmth and Kael was strength…Then Riven was silence.Not cold silence.Not empty silence.Just the kind that observed everything carefully before speaking.The kind that noticed things other people missed.I understood that more now.Especially after spending the last few weeks getting closer to all of them.Riven wasn’t emotionally distant because he didn’t care.He was careful because he cared deeply.And somehow, that made every small thing he did matter more.That morning started quietly.Too quietly.Which should have warned me something was wrong.The palace usually carried noise now. Servants moving through halls. Guards reporting updates. Advisors constantly searching for one of the Alphas.But today, something felt tense again.Not dangerous.Just… unsettled.I noticed it immediately during breakfast.Kael was reading reports with a deeper frown than usual.Lucien looked irritated about something.And RivenRiven looked exhausted.Not p
