All Chapters of The triplets who claimed me : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Soyera POVSilas led us through the winding corridors of the fortress, deeper into the earth than I'd ever been. Jax was still leaning on me, his weight a comforting presence against my side. Lucius walked ahead, his hand never straying far from his sword. Silas moved with purpose, his magic casting a soft blue glow that illuminated the narrow passageway."What did you find?" I asked, my voice echoing off the stone walls.Silas didn't answer immediately. His jaw was tight, his eyes fixed on the path ahead. Whatever he'd discovered, it had shaken him."You'll see," he said finally, "but I need to warn you. It's not... it's not going to be easy to look at."I felt a chill that had nothing to do with the cold. "Just show me."The passage opened into a chamber.It was massive, far larger than I'd expected, with vaulted ceilings that disappeared into darkness above. Stone pillars lined the walls, carved with symbols I didn't recognize, and in the center of the room, illuminated by Silas's

Soyera POVI woke to the sound of voices.For a moment, I didn't know where I was. The ceiling above me was low and rough, made of wood and stone, nothing like the grand halls of the Estates. The air smelled different too, earth and pine and the faint tang of old smoke.Then I remembered. The safe house. The resistance fighters. My mates.I sat up slowly, my body aching from the previous day's exertions. The cot beneath me was narrow and hard, but it had been a luxury compared to sleeping on the forest floor. I looked around the small room, taking in the rough-hewn walls, the single window covered by a heavy curtain, and the door that led to the main chamber.My mates were already awake. I could hear their voices through the door, low and serious. They were planning, strategizing, doing what they did best.I stood, stretching my sore muscles, and made my way to the main room.Elara was there, along with a handful of other resistance fighters. They were gathered around a large table co

Soyera POVI felt the tears coming then, hot and sudden. I blinked them back, refusing to let them fall. Jax reached up with his good hand, and his fingers brushed my cheek."Hey," he said softly. "I told you I was going to be fine.""Liar," I managed."You are the liar," he said. "Remember? You are the one who said you were not going anywhere."I laughed, wet and shaky. "I'm not.""Good," he said. "Because if I die, I am glad it was fighting beside you."I leaned down and kissed his forehead, feeling the heat still there but less intense now. "You are not dying," I said firmly. "I will not let you."He smiled, a real smile this time. "I know. That is why I am not worried."I sat there holding him, watching the wound continue to heal. The others moved around us, gathering supplies and preparing for the night. But my focus stayed on Jax, on the steady rhythm of his breathing and the way his hand stayed wrapped around mine."We need to be careful," Silas said eventually. "The silver poi

Soyera POVThe words hit me like a punch to the chest. Vulnerable. Weak. Almost human.In the middle of a war, with hunters tracking us and enemies closing in, I'd have to make myself completely defenseless."There has to be another way."Silas shook his head. "I've been reading this journal for hours. The Rogue Uncle was thorough. He made sure there was only one way to undo what he'd done. He didn't want any Blackwood escaping his vengeance.""Then why write it down at all? Why not let the curse destroy the bloodline and be done with it?"Silas stared at the journal, his expression unreadable. "I don't know. Maybe he wanted someone to know. Maybe he wanted to be remembered. Or maybe..." He trailed off, frowning."Maybe what?""Maybe he didn't write this part." He flipped through the pages, pointing at the handwriting. "The first part is one hand. This part is different. Same ink, same style, but more careful. More deliberate. Like someone was copying what the Rogue Uncle wrote.""Who

Soyera's pov The shout came from the gatehouse just before dawn."Someone at the gates! Single rider!"I was already awake. I hadn't slept much anyway. The decision about the marking still sat heavy in my chest, even though I'd told Lucius I was leaning toward yes. My body was tired but my mind wouldn't shut up.I pulled on my cloak and went to the battlements.Below, at the main gate, a figure slumped in the saddle of a horse that looked ready to drop. The rider was wrapped in a tattered cloak, face hidden. Snow had piled on their shoulders. They weren't moving."Open the gate," I called down."Lady Soraya, we don't know who""I said open it."The guards hesitated, then obeyed. The heavy iron bars rose with a groan.I hurried down the stairs, my boots slipping on the frozen stone. By the time I reached the courtyard, the rider had slid from the horse and was lying in the snow. Guards surrounded them, weapons drawn.I pushed through the crowd.The figure on the ground was a woman. He
