All Chapters of The Triplets' Regret: Bowing to Their Luna: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

"The dreams," Thad realized aloud. "That explains why we kept having those vivid dreams. Why we felt an agonizing pull to her right after being cruel. Every single time we struck her or insulted her, our own souls screamed in agony.""The psychological programming has been decaying," Jaren stated with grim satisfaction. "It has been failing for years. That is exactly why our mother kept escalating the abuse. That is why she recruited Evelina to keep us distracted and aggressive. She knew she was losing her grip on us, but she could not figure out how to fix it.""And now the blindfold is off." Kaelen sounded terrifyingly calm. "We know the whole truth. Now we have to figure out how to survive it."The three men fell into a suffocating silence. I remained frozen against the wood of the bookshelf. My mind spun in violent circles.A true mate. A triple mating. A sacred destiny my parents had uncovered, which ultimately cost them their lives. I was not a stray. I was not a burden taken in

The weeks following the council meeting felt like a violently held breath. The pack had tasted blood during the trial. The accusations hurled at the Duchess, the brutal exposure of Evelina's scheming, and the undeniable evidence of crimes spanning two decades could not be buried. The truth was loose. It roamed the corridors of power like a starved wolf, changing the way people looked at one another.But freedom, I was quickly learning, was not the same as victory. Victory was still a distant, blood-soaked horizon.Kaelen, Jaren, and Thad had given me the space I demanded. They no longer cornered me in empty rooms to beg for forgiveness or offer messy explanations. Instead, they simply watched. From the balconies, from the edges of the courtyards, from the shadows of the dining hall, their silver eyes tracked my every movement. The weight of their stares was a physical pressure against my skin. I pretended not to notice. Eighteen years of survival had made me an expert at ignoring pred

"What is the test?"She pulled a small leather notebook from her medical bag and tore out a page. "I have a patient. An elderly omega suffering from chronic, agonizing joint pain. The commercial remedies have entirely stopped working. Even my own strongest tinctures only give her an hour of relief. Visit her tomorrow night. Treat her. Do not charge her a single coin.""And if my remedy works?""Then we discuss a permanent partnership." She turned toward the door but paused, glancing back at me with a heavy look. "Be careful, Cassia. People in this territory thrive on your invisibility. The moment you step into the light and show actual strength, you become a threat. Do not make yourself a target before you have the fangs to defend your territory.""I have been a target my entire life, Doctor. At least now I am choosing the battlefield."Helena stared at me for a long, quiet moment. She gave a single, approving nod and vanished into the dark.The following evening, I stood before a mod

Then I read it a third time, searching for the hidden teeth.My instincts screamed at me. Something was profoundly wrong.I spent the next hour ignoring my herbs and digging through my mother’s old records and memory logs regarding the merchant district. What I pieced together about the Crescent Moon Apothecary made my blood run cold.The company was real. They operated a massive storefront in the center o

"I mean men who have enough wealth to make entire families disappear without a trace," Helena corrected sharply. She handed the letter back. "You are building real power here, Cassia. You are building a reputation built on actual results and integrity. That is a direct threat to people who rely on monopolies and deception.""How do I fight an entire syndicate when I sell soap and willow bark?"Helena fell silent. She watched me for a long moment, evaluating my resolve. Then, she opened her medical bag and pulled out a thick, leather bound journal. She held it out to me."This is a master record of every single patient I have treated over the last fourteen months," Helena explained softly. "It contains their names, their exact ailments, and the specific treatments I prescribed. If you ever need hard evidence to prove that Crescent Moon or anyone else is poisoning their clients, this book will give you the ammunition to destroy them."I stared at the leather book in her hands. "You are
