Back and forth. “You imagined it,” I muttered under my breath. “It was the lighting. The music. The champagne.” But the memory burned too clearly, the purple light. It wasn’t symbolic, it wasn’t imagination. It was the mark of the mate bond. Visible only to the bonded pair. I wasn’t supposed to see it. Unless… “Ugh!” Frustration ripped out of me as I dragged both hands through my hair. Maybe this was another one of their games. The triplets had always been dangerous in their own way. Charming when they wanted something. Ruthless when they didn’t get it. Maybe this was some elaborate psychological trap, a cruel manipulation designed to destabilize me.

In one of the conversations she had with her friends at their previous lunch, One of her friends, Martha, kept bragging. “My son’s wedding would be the talk of not only the state but the country. We plan on having it on for a week; the first day would be a welcome dinner at a scenic outdoor venue for all our guests; the second day would be rehearsal dinner; and the…” Celia cut in. “Oh, that would be lovely, but when is this wedding?” Celia asked; she knew she was lying.

, Amy says and I give a small wave pulling my chair and taking my seat. “This is John, Liam and Hugo”, she says posting at each one of them. “Nice to meet you,” Liam says offering me his hand to shake. I shake his hand and before I have the chance to pull away he takes my hand to his lips and kisses my hand. I feel my cheeks burn as everyone starts laughing and making jokes about us. “Arya and Liam sitting on a tree, K I S S I N G”, Amy sings and John laughs with her while Hugo stays serious looking at us. What the hell is wrong with this guy?

he mouthed, "Can't wait till I rip that dress off." Only with those words, he made me go pink. I bit my lower lip, unable to hold back a smile. Pieces of last night's memories flashed through my head. The sex was unbelievably thrilling. He made sure I enjoyed every part, every detail of his touches, everything. My friends were teasing me and congratulating me from all sides. Although it wasn’t official yet, the whole pack knew that I was the next Luna as I'd been Ryder's girlfriend for three years. I was just waiting for Ryder to make a toast and make the announcement.

Who gets to lead? Who gets remembered? It's meant to test strength, yes—but not just of the body. Of bloodline. Will. Loyalty. Ruthlessness.” He looked at me now, fully. “It’s not a game, Aubrey. It’s war, staged with gowns and gold and a smile that knows how to tear your throat out.”

“You are it.” Xanden sat up beside me, brows furrowing. “I’ve never felt anything like this before. And I’ve fought beside seers, priestesses, even starborn warriors. But this bond? It’s alive.” He reached for my hand. I let him take it. The moment our fingers touched, a shimmer of light spilled out—moonlight and shadow, entwined around a core of ocean-blue energy. I gasped. “Althea…” Cassian knelt in front of me, eyes locked on the magic now rising from our bond like mist. “There are only three known triadic bondings recorded in supernatural history. And all of them ended in war. Or coronation.”

Olivia stood back and looked at me. “You want to talk Bash?” she asked me and I stared into her beautiful eyes. I didn’t, I was over this and I was over having to share her. I looked down thinking for a minute, if I stopped this it means I would have to give up Olivia and that I certainly didn’t want to do. If I had her I had to share her with Blake, it killed me and all I wanted was Olivia to be mine, completely mine. We had been a threesome for the last year and it was clear I was the only person with the problem. I think I would feel even sicker if I had to watch her be with Blake and not me. Me and Blake had been best friends since we were kids, we had shared a few women and Blake had gi

“Thanks, Higgins. Higgins, let me ask you something.” “Shoot.” “Are you a triplet?” His brow furrowed. “Yes, Barry, as a matter of fact I am.” “Did you know that Dianna is also a triplet?” Wrecked as his face was, it could not conceal the shadow that surfaced. “No, Barry. I did not know that.” His throat tightened, voice falling significantly in volume as he supplemented, “But I know Maya is . . . ” “What is this?” Ritter said.

That day also happened to be the end of the three-year limit. The moment I arrived home, Mom and Erica both rushed toward me. "Quick! Swap these disgusting scars onto yourself!" "Give me your SAT scores!" They spoke at the exact same time. Mom's eyes widened in annoyance as she turned to Erica. "Sweetheart, didn't we agree this time would be my turn?" Erica rolled her eyes, completely unapologetic. "You already waited three years. Can't you wait another three? The SAT determines my future!
