Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mated To Three: Claimed In Sin: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 5

ANNIKAThe first thing I saw when I opened the bedroom door was my husband buried between another woman's legs.I had felt something was wrong right from the moment I stepped into the house. It was too quiet, and a perfume hung in the air. It wouldn't be the first time he was changing his scent without telling me, though. I had never heard of any Alpha who hated his real scent until I met Alpha Felix.I frowned and locked the front door behind me. "Felix?"No answer. That was odd. My husband had texted me less than an hour ago, claiming he was home. I dropped my purse onto the console table and kicked off my shoes."Felix?"Still nothing. The knot in my stomach tightened. Maybe it was instinct or the Moon Goddess trying to warn me of what was ahead. Whatever it was, every step I took deeper into the house made my heart skip.Then I heard it: a woman's laughter coming from upstairs. I froze for a second, simply unsure of how to proceed.I had to listen again; the sound of my aching hea

"Annie."Jonas' voice called out the moment the door opened. I had actually been standing in front of the familiar door for minutes before I knocked.My breath caught as I stared at the sight before me, frozen. Four years and somehow nothing had prepared me for this day.The last time I saw Jonas, he was twenty-one. Now at twenty-five, four years shouldn't have made such a difference. Yet somehow, they had."Annie." His voice came again, roughly this time, as though he hadn't slept properly in days. Maybe he hadn't.I swallowed hard. "Jonas.""You came."The words were simple. Yet something about them sent other meanings to my head. Of course I came. Father was gone. How could I not? Before I could answer, though, another voice drifted through the hallway."Who is it?"My pulse immediately spiked. The footsteps that followed nearly stopped my heart. A second later, Julian appeared. He stopped so abruptly that I thought he might have run into the wall. For several seconds, he simply st

"Nothing,” I lied, though the word barely made it past my lips. “He didn’t do anything.”“Annika.” Jonas’s voice went low enough that only the four of us could hear. “Don’t lie to us.”“I’m not.” I lowered my eyes to the polished toes of my shoes, unable to meet any of their gazes. “It’s just… It’s complicated. And today is Father’s funeral.” My throat squeezed painfully. “Can we please not do this here?”“You’re shaking,” Jakob said quietly.“I’m not,” I argued.“You are,” Julian replied, watching me with disturbing intensity. His fingers gripped the glass in his hand until I thought it might shatter. “And that bastard keeps looking over here like he owns the place.” His jaw flexed. “He’s acting as if he owns you.”The way Julian said it made my stomach twist.It wasn’t an ordinary concern. It wasn’t simply the protective instinct of an older brother. No, there was something else under it. Something that scared me almost as much as it comforted me.Before I could find the words to an
