Triple Novels & Stories

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.

I needed to feel her and it was consuming my every thought. 'She is my mate.' Loki growled at River in our mind link. 'She is my mate." He growled right back at me. Well, fuck me silly. We both have the same mate. That probably meant she was also fated to Drake. It was rare for identical triplets to be born, but the few we read about some did share one mate. We knew it was possible, but we also knew the prophecy. Our mate would betray us and she would be the reason we failed in all we did.

"The prophecy never specified just two people. It speaks of balanced power – Alpha might and healing gift united, but never limited to a single pair." The revelation feels right, resonating through the newly forming bond between the three of us. I can feel both Alexander and Kieran's surprise, followed by dawning comprehension. "A triangle is inherently more stable than a line," Alexander says, echoing words he once spoke during our journey. "Three points create true balance." Kieran's eyes widen. "That's what Karina meant about acknowledging connections beyond traditional expectations." The silver web between us pulses brighter with each new understanding, growing stronger as we collectivel

“Yeah, the world’s a very complex place, man. There are couple that people call throuple.” “Throuple? And what does that mean?” “It’s three people in a committed relationship.” “Oh, damn. I didn’t know about that.” “Yeah, you’re still young and I’m judging based on your skin.” Tristan divulged. “How old are you again?” Tristan asked and I got nervous for a while. “Twenty. I’m twenty.” I ended up lying to him and I don’t even know why.

The guardian’s eyes glowed brighter. SOUL. POWER. DESTINY. The chamber shook. Ash flinched as another crack on his arm sealed shut. Arthur’s grip tightened until it almost hurt. The guardian lowered its head. YOU THREE NOW STAND AS ONE. A TRIAD. THE FIRST IN A THOUSAND YEARS. My heart stopped. Arthur whispered, “A… triad?” Ash closed his eyes, voice trembling. “A three-fold bond. One heart shared between three people. One power source. One fate. If one of us falls—”

She waved me over with the enthusiasm of a woman who definitely had gossip ready to burst. “Oh gods, sit. Sit, I have things,” she said, pulling me down onto the bench like we were back in high school. “Okay, so. Did you meet the triplets from Greynight yet? They’re healers and all three of them are stupid hot. Two are mated and the third is open. Like open open. I think she has her eyes on that broody weapons master you keep avoiding.” I cackled. “Tarin.” “What?” She smirked. “I just report the news.”

"He's been acting strange lately, and I feel...different around him, too." Her parents exchanged another meaningful glance while Luka's eyebrows shot up in surprise. Alpha Mick cleared his throat. "Lilly, it's extremely rare, but not unheard of for a wolf to have more than one mate. Especially for a particularly powerful wolf." Luna Harmony nodded. "It's called a triad bond. But we can't be certain that's what's happening here. Your wolf is awakening, and everything is new and confusing right now."

I felt the truth of it in my bones. But there was something else about it. Something really important. I examined the blade closer under the dim light. Saw three deep grooves carved in the handle. Three spaces where different hands could grip it at once. This weapon required three wielders working together. Three people all working as one to activate its full power. The trinity bond connection. Understanding hit me hard like a punch. The bond wasn't broken like we all thought it was. Wasn't damaged or weak at all. It had been testing all three of us this whole time. Making us way stronger. Making us learn to work together instead of fighting apart like we used to.

"They claim she's their mate. That you kidnapped her." "She's MY mate." "She can't be both." "She is both." I gritted my teeth as Selene probed the wound. "It's a triad bond. Illegal, unstable, and dangerous. But it exists." Selene paused. "A triad bond? I thought those were myths." "So did I. Until I saw the marks on her wrists." I'd noticed them while carrying her through the forest. Three thin lines, barely visible, marking her connection to three different males. "They've claimed her. Partially. But the bonds aren't complete."

The specific stillness that meant something had gone badly wrong and he was calculating the exact dimensions of it. "Lucian," Gavin said. Lucian turned the screen around. It was a text message. Sent to what I assumed was a private number because Lucian's expression said it should have been impossible to reach. The sender ID was blank, a string of zeros where a contact should have been. Three lines. I read them once and then read them again because my brain refused to process them on the first pass. THE PRESS WAS JUST THE APPETIZER. CONGRATULATIONS ON THE TRIPLETS.
