96Kaya’s POV.“Has anyone never been mated to three werewolves before?” I ask Luna Olivia, and she tsks in disagreement right before she glances at my reflection through the mirror.Olivia begins with a laugh, which results in a fixation of cease on the skin of my forehead. “Truth be told, a fidelity of love you are. I may be a Luna, but I learn a lot from you. I, for one, would have rejected three mates. It’d be a fucking confusion for me.”She isn’t being offensive, though. For the past few hours, we have been having a conversation about how I manage to accept the triplets, but for me, I just can’t say. I think it all has to do with love. Well, they say love is blind, so perhaps that is what I am.Perhaps unlike her, I do not see them as three beings but rather as one, and so far, each time I see the triplets, my inside runs with my heart beating fast. They make my hormones anxious, and my stomach erupts with blue butterflies.It is an intoxicating feeling.“But today is a big day,
97Kaya’s POV.“Kaya,” my ears pick up on eerie voices, sinking into my head. A furrow wrestles on my face as I awaken to reality, and suddenly, I gasp when I feel the intensity of the voices when they call again. “Kaya.”My head snaps to the front, and there are three women at the end of the bed. They are in robes with the hood covering their faces, so I have no way of knowing if I recognize them or not.That aside, the aura they release sends chills down my spine, shaking me to my very core.“Who are you?” I ask with the nerves around my neck poking out.The women speak with raspy voices, an intent of darkness lurking behind each word. “You have seen our presence, great witch, because you made yourself come to our attention. Await your doom, for we shall come for you. And we do; the curse shall be back. You haven’t paid the right price, and we shall come for what is ours.”“Who are you? What do you want?” Although they dress entirely black, at the left chest area of their robes, I s
EPILOGUE ~A Few Years Later~ Following the sound of Kaya’s footsteps up the stairs, Yara and Nala snap their eyes open. Their sense of hearing is super heightened for seven-year-old pups, and knowing that their mother is coming for them, they jump out of bed. For Yara, she focuses on making the bed. Hurriedly, as she hurls the bedsheets into the air with such precision that the sheets fly in mid-air in their square shape, she hurries about gathering the pillows. Gravity makes the sheet fall, letting it settle back on the bed. Hastily, she has tucked it into the sides neatly with no roughness to be seen, then she places the pillows back on the bed. On Nala’s side, after she has run to lock the door, she’s using her legs to kick up their dirty clothes from the floor and her hands to pick up other dirt as well. Within a few seconds, she had finished cleaning the floor. The both of them smile at each other, two young wolves yet very powerful. Close to the room, Kaya senses the door
Kaya’s POV.“Good morning, sister!” The door barges open, and my ears pick up the sound of someone’s footsteps stomping into the room.I can’t be more annoyed until the blankets fly away from my body. My hands are still rubbing my eyelids as I rise halfway up.“Wake up!” screams William’s voice again, and my eyes snap open this time around.“What is wrong with you?” I shout at him as my brows furrow together in annoyance at his deep-rooted voice. “It’s very early in the morning, and you’re annoying me already.”Today is supposed to be a beautiful morning, until he decides to ruin it.He crosses his arms and looks away, which makes me shake my head at him and finally get out of bed.“Well, maybe if your father wasn’t destroying the whole room, I wouldn’t have come in here to disturb you. Don’t you have some witchery thing to say to him to make him stop?” He informs me, and I groan inwardly.“Our father.”“Didn’t you hear the other things I said?” His morning voice is the worst—croaky a
2Kaya’s POV.The smell of their fresh blood in mud...the sound of their screams...the look of shock in their eyes...the unbearable pain of a dagger piercing their heart...the welcoming of death!“No!” I recall my own scream of shock, and right before the guards take me away.Wait, the guards took me!My eyes snap open, and my eyes shift around the dark space that I’m in. I can sense I’m sitting on metal space, which gave me the hint that I’m in a cage of some sort and my hands are tied with a rope.My heart is spiking heavily as I think of what is to happen to me. I’ve never been so sure in my life that I can’t die. I have to avenge the deaths of my father and brother.Out of the blue, the noisy movement stopped, and one of the guards opened the back, sending in rays of heavy beams of light.It hurts my eyes that I snapped it close for a minute.I am inside a carriage, but before my brain can decipher the other things happening, the guards pick me up and throw me to the ground.“Argh
33RD POV.The triplets and Kaya are in media.Kyle’s finger rakes through his hair as he releases a heavy breath.His face is positioned earthward with his shoulders slouching, before he picks himself up and walks over to the small bar inside the room where there’s alcohol.Just as he pours himself a glass of gin, his brothers enter the room, and he groans.“It’s been almost thirty minutes since I called for the both of you.” His voice is tight, showing that he is annoyed at their lateness.Kieran scoffs before he snatches the drink from Kyle and says, “Come on, bro. Say what you have to say. I don’t have much time. I’ve got to get back to mother’s ceremony.”Kyle smacks his own forehead and shifts his gaze to Kade, who, on the other hand, has his hands inside his own pocket, looking at the both of them.“All right. Fine. I know you guys would think that I’m crazy...”“Hm-mh.” Answers Kieran. He has never been the calming one.Kyle shakes his head but continues. “But there’s a witch
43rd POV.Kyle, Kieran, and Kade are in media.The brothers go to their study room, left stunned by the effect that a common girl, and a witch at that, had on them.From recollection, the way their hearts had taken a beat, something that hadn’t happened in a very very long time. One can say they’ve even forgotten what it means to have adrenaline or other anxiety hormones run through their veins. It is distressingly for them.A glass cup slams onto the table, raising Kieran’s and Kyle’s eyes at Kade. It is rather surprising that they’d ever see Kade in a non-collected way for the first time.He’s only had everything figured out, calculated, and his facial expression is blank, but tonight, the side of his eyes wrinkles as his frown deepens and his fingers are twirling around the top of the glass cup. His brows are deeply furrowed with a wrinkle at the sides of his eyes, his jaw twitching from sides to sides. He remains lost in thought.“Kade, are you okay?” Kyle asks and changes his po
5Kaya’s POV.I wake up to my senses informing my brain of a pain in my neck as I ruffle on a strange bed that I can’t remember when I climbed.It is indeed morning, and the sun has settled into the room, beaming in heat, causing me to yank off the duvet from my body.And just then, my brain reels back to what happened yesterday.I gasp as my face lights up in fear and my body involuntarily falls off the bed. It is as though time stopped for a second, ensuring that I remembered the horrors I’ve faced so far in this place.Grabbing myself with my palms to sit up, my eyes wander around the room, finding it all strange and simple.The interior decor isn’t anything too fancy, seeming like that of a dormitory for the royal college Werewolf kids.Standing in the middle of the room, accessing all that my eyes can scan, the hair at the back of my head stand at the sudden sound of the door opening.Snapping my head there, my breathing hitches as a figure walks in but when I see that it’s Melis
