Again, the crowd in the hall erupted in loud chattering and pandemonium. I would have thought this was all a big joke if not that I felt the same warmth spread that consumed my entire being from their touch, and I was left as confused as everyone else in the room.
What crazy trick was the moon goddess playing on me today?
I stood transfixed in the spot, my eyes never leaving Alpha Phineas. I had Heard a lot about this alpha. He was known as the "Fun Loving Alpha." He was a towering figure, standing at 6'4" with broad shoulders and a muscular build. He had chiseled features, with a strong jawline and piercing grey eyes that seemed to sparkle with mischief. His hair was a rich, golden blond, styled in messy spikes that gave him a carefree and devil-may-care appearance.
Despite his tough exterior, he wore a permanent smirk on his face, giving off an aura of confidence and playfulness. A mischievous glint never left his eyes, as if he was always up to something fun and exciting, even though he did not fully understand what was going on in that moment.
I had heard he was a man of many interests and passions, with a zest for life that was contagious. He loved the outdoors, and could often be found surfing, snowboarding, or rock climbing. He was also a talented musician. He had been playing the guitar and singing with a soulful voice that captivated everyone just before I fucked up the engagement party.
But above all, he loved to have fun and make others laugh. He was the life of the party, always cracking jokes, telling stories, and playing pranks. He had a quick wit and a sharp sense of humor, and was never afraid to be the center of attention. He was always the first one on the dance floor, moving to the beat with an energy and grace that left everyone else in awe.
Despite his carefree and playful demeanor, the Fun Loving Alpha was also fiercely intelligent and driven. He was a successful entrepreneur, having started his own company from the ground up, and was always looking for new challenges to tackle. He had a natural charisma and charm that made him a natural leader, and people were drawn to his positive energy and can-do attitude.
One of the things that made the Fun Loving Alpha so irresistible was his unwavering confidence. He exuded an aura of self-assurance, and was never intimidated by anyone or anything. He was always willing to take risks and try new things, and his fearlessness inspired others to do the same.
Despite his many talents and accomplishments, the Fun Loving Alpha never took himself too seriously. He was always humble and down-to-earth, and had a genuine interest in the lives and well-being of those around him. He had a heart of gold and a selfless spirit, and was always there for his pack when they needed him.
He seemed to have snapped from his trance as he stood from where he knelt and dusted his knee.
“How is that possible? How does the bitch have three mates? She must be into sorcery,” Ingrid grounded out, an ugly scowl marring her face.
I gasped at the accusation. “No. Never. I am not into sorcery.” Then I fell to the floor, head down in a pleading manner. “Please Alpha, spare my life. I am only but an omega who dare not match your standards.”
The three alphas regarded me wordlessly for a while until Alpha Lance boomed. “Everyone leave. Now.”
Alpha Lance was in disbelief as he watched everyone leave the room, including a confused Ingrid. He was still trying to wrap his head around the situation and understand how I could be the mate to all of them.
As I sat quietly on the floor, waiting for the hall to get empty, my mind raced with thoughts and questions. I wondered how possible it was for one wolf to have three mates. It hardly ever happened in a thousand years.
Alpha Liam closed his eyes. He looked like he was trying to focus his thoughts. After a while, he opened his eyes and focused those brown orbs on me.
“We need to get to the bottom of this. There is no way this is possible.” He said.
“Agreed. I can’t share my mate with any other. And I especially can’t be mated to a weak omega who is an outcast.” Alpha Lance scowled at me.
I was taken aback. The alpha knew who I was?
I took a deep sigh and responded. "I do not understand what is happening here either," I said. "I never thought that I could be the mate to multiple people."
“We could check our forearms for the truth.” Alpha Phineas suggested and the three alphas proceeded to roll their sleeves back.
I studied them intently as they scouted the bare skin, except it was not bare anymore. There, on their forearms, was I.Z my initials, embedded in their flesh.
They looked to each other, confusion masking their features.
“I do not still believe it. Excuse me, miss, may I ask your name?" Alpha Phineas asked, his voice low and smooth.
I looked up at him and swallowed the bubbles that lodged in my throat. I could not reveal my true identity yet. It would land me into even more trouble than I was in. So I lied, “Inez. Inez Zane.”
Alpha Phineas’ pupils dilated. Alpha Phineas looked skeptical about my answer but did not ask me any further questions. But no one would just take my word for it. They still needed to be sure.
"Lance, I need you to do something for me.” Alpha Liam said.
Alpha Lance responded. "What is it, Liam?"
"I need you to call our pack seer. I need her to communicate with the moon goddess and find out if Inez is truly our mate. Only she would unravel this mystery for us." Alpha Liam proposed, his voice filled with determination.
“That is what we should do.” Alpha Phineas agreed.
Alpha Lance nodded once and a guard hurried into the room. The alpha must have sent him a mindlink.
“Summon the pack seer. Her presence is needed here right now,” the alpha ordered and the guard hurried away to do his bidding.
While we waited, the alphas kept pacing while I sat in the corner, wondering what my fate would be. What explanation would the seer have for this? Would she also reveal my identity in the process? If that happened, then I was as good as dead.
I was not sure how many minutes had gone by, but the seer soon waltzed in. She was a young woman, about my age, known for her ability to commune with the spirits of the earth and the moon.
Some said she was blessed and chosen by the moon goddess herself when she was born. Some believed she was immortal. She lived alone in the dense part of the forest and was known for her beauty, kindness.
She was gifted with the ability to see visions and was considered a seer. The pack would often seek her advice and guidance, for they believed that her visions were the will of the moon goddess.
She was the one who had confirmed Alpha Lance’s position as the alpha of my pack, and he trusted her completely. She was the one who made me the pack’s outcast. I would not be surprised if anything she uttered was not in my favour.
The seer took one look at me and asked. “What am i needed for?”
Alpha Liam took the liberty to explain the situation to her and she agreed to commune with the moon goddess. We all stood in silence, waiting for her answer. It felt like an eternity before she spoke up again.
“She is a universal mate and the mate of all three of you."
My eyes widened in shock and she looked at each of them in turn. "But how is that possible?" I asked the seer.
"Universal mates are extremely rare and very special to the moon goddess," said the seer. "They are the mates of multiple individuals at the same time. It is a rare bond that transcends the boundaries of traditional mating."
We were all quiet for a moment, taking it all in. "I never thought that this could happen to me," I whispered. "I never thought that I, an omega, could be the mate of three alphas."
The alphas nodded in agreement.
“It can’t be possible. I can’t mate with her.” Alpha Lance maintained.
“Well, you do not have a choice, Lance.” The seer scowled at him and the alpha frowned at her for regarding him with just his name.
“After checking Inez’s aura, I confirmed that she is indeed your mate and that you three have found your signs from the moon goddess. However, I have also received a vision from the moon goddess about Inez and a prophecy about your fates.” The seer continued.
At the sound of that, my ears perked up. I also had a special prophecy from the moon goddess. Could today get any more eventful?
“What did the moon goddess say?” Alpha Liam asked.
“The moon goddess had revealed that Inez is destined to have you all. But she only gets to pick one amongst you.”
My pulse quickened as all the alphas turned their gaze to me.
“Now an omega gets to pick from alphas? Talk about disrespect. I will not be disrespected in such a manner.” Alpha Lance sneered.
The seer ignored my alpha. “She has until her next birthday to pick her match. The goddess warns that a wrong mate would lead to all your deaths. Choose wisely. Their lives is in your hands, Inez.” And with that, the seer walked out.
I was both shocked and overwhelmed by the prophecy. I did not know how to choose just one of the alphas, for they were all so different and yet so special in their own way.
What do I do now?
Inez had never felt so relieved to see everyone leave the hall, even if it was under such uncertain circumstances. She felt like she had been holding her breath for far too long, and now that she could finally breathe, the air tasted sweeter than ever before. However, her relief was short-lived, as the three alphas were still staring at her, their expressions a mixture of confusion, disbelief, and anger.She wanted to explain herself, but her mouth was starved of words.Her heart was pounding in my chest, and her hands were trembling with fear. She had to keep her cool and play it safe, at least for the time being.Now, they stayed in the room with only the seer, all feeling unsettled by the message she had delivered. Alpha Lance took a deep breath and turned to her, trying to keep his voice steady."What do you mean, Inez is the one I am destined to mate with and also, share with the two Alphas? I already have a fiancée that I want to marry, moreover, I can’t marry an omega.” Alpha La
The only thing that kept me awake was the dirty water dizzily from the wooden ceiling. The cold was becoming unbearable and there is nothing I could do. My flimsy clothes wouldn't even get my body warm.I shouldn’t have followed Agnes no matter what she had said.I sat back down, my eyes lurking around the dark hallway, hoping to hear a footstep. But again, there wasn’t anything that I can do to get myself out.Alpha Lance made his decision to keep me here and I am sure the two other Alphas will support him. Birds of the same feathers flock together.I bit my inner lips, as I shiver. The damn place should be warm at least. “Fuck.” I cursed, pushing my fingers into my ginger hair.I had put it up in a ponytail with the help of Agnes and now, I find it very much comfortable. With a swift hand movement, I got the band holding the hair together and threw it across the room. It wouldn’t be of use anymore. If only my father is around, then I wouldn’t have been in this tight situation. Or
Alpha Lance’s POVI walked into the dimly lit room, the air thick with tension. The two Alphas were seated at a long, oak table. Liam was seated at the end of the table, his eyes darting between Phineas and me.I couldn't help but notice the way Liam's muscles tensed as soon as I entered the room. I knew something was amiss, and I was determined to find out what it was."Sit," Liam said, gesturing towards an empty chair.I took my seat, my eyes scanning the room. The walls were adorned with old paintings, the colors faded with time. The room was quiet, the only sounds coming from the ticking grandfather clock in the corner."Liam," I began, my voice cutting through the silence. "I have reason to believe that your feelings towards Inez are not entirely platonic."I watched as Liam's face turned red, his jaw clenching. "What are you talking about?" he spat.I leaned back in my chair, a sly smile on my face. I couldn't have Inez falling for him. He is the easiest amongst us and he has a
My eyes adjust to the dim light filtering through the small window high up in the wall. As my vision clears, I realize that I am not alone. I am chained to the wall, my wrists secured by a heavy, rusted iron chain that seems to be fused into the wall itself. I tug at the chain, but it is unyielding, as if it has become a part of me.I try to remember how I got here, but my memories are hazy. Then it all came rushing back to me, the party, the seer, Alpha Lance accusing me for everything and ordering the guards to lock me up.As I look down at my wrists, I notice the chain that binds me. It is unlike any chain I have ever seen before. It is as thick as my thumb and made of a strange, shimmering metal that seems to shift in the dim light. It is not rusted like the rest of the dungeon, but instead, it glows with an otherworldly sheen.I can feel its weight pulling at my wrists, and I can't help but wonder what sort of magic has been woven into this chain. It is as if it has a life of its
ALPHA LIAM'S POV.After the little talk with Lance, I walked out of the room and went straight to the dungeon. My blood boiled as I watched the whips strike into Inez's body. Each strike felt like a stab to my heart, and I couldn't bear to see the pain etched on her face. I clenched my fists so tight that my nails dug into my palms, and my muscles felt like they were ready to snap. This is the second time she is getting beaten up by Lance’s men.I wanted to scream at them, to demand that they stop this madness. But I knew it would do no good. Lance had made up his mind, and there was no changing it. Inez was trapped, just like we were.I walk out of the dungeon and into the cool evening breeze, taking deep breaths to calm my raging anger. I couldn’t stand there for any more seconds and watched as they whip her up.How could he do such a thing to her? I had suspected that Lance had some sort of nefarious plan for Inez, but I never imagined he would go this far.As I walk towards the r
INEZ'S POV.As I slowly opened my eyes, my heart racing with confusion and fear, I couldn't help but notice that I was no longer in the dungeon. The first thing that caught my eye was the room's stark white walls, almost blinding in their cleanliness. The floor was a polished marble that shone like a mirror, reflecting the bright overhead lights. There was a large window on one wall that allowed the sunlight to stream in, and the curtains were drawn aside, letting me see the outside world.The room itself was much larger than any of the cells I had been kept in before. There was a large bed in the center, with crisp white sheets that seemed to have been ironed to perfection. A small nightstand was next to the bed, with a vase of freshly cut flowers sitting on top. Across from the bed was a row of cabinets and shelves, all of which were filled with medical supplies, neatly arranged and labeled.There was a single door leading out of the room, and it was made of a heavy, dark wood th
ALPHA PHINEAS'S POV.I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Lance was giving us an ultimatum - either we leave the pack or Inez continues to stays in the dungeon. We went through a lot to convince him to let her out first before we reach a conclusion. How could he be so cruel? Thinking about it led me to greater complexities but there was nothing we could do other than dancing to his beat.He had the leverage because he was the Alpha here, but he was acting more like a dictator. My blood boiled at the thought of leaving Inez behind, but I knew that we had to come up with a plan fast.I looked over at Liam, who had a stern look on his face. He was just as angry as I was. We both knew that leaving the pack was a very bad option. We couldn't just walk away like that. We also couldn't leave Inez in the dungeon. She was our mate, and we had to protect her no matter what.I took a deep breath and looked back at Lance. "Alpha, please reconsider. Inez is our mate. We cannot just leave her be
INEZ'S POVI woke up feeling sore all over my body. My eyes were heavy with sleep, and as I yawned and stretched, I squinted around the dimly lit room. For a moment, I couldn't see anything, and the panic started to rise in my chest. It reminded me of the dungeon, where I was left alone in the dark for days on end.But as my eyes adjusted to the dim light, I saw that I was in the small room with plain, bare walls. I heard some knocks on the door, but I was too scared to respond. The memories of the dungeon were still fresh in my mind, and I didn't want to face any more trauma. However, the knocking persisted, becoming louder and more persistent with each passing moment.Eventually, the door opened, and a guard walked in. I recognized him as one of the men who had whipped me in the past. My heart began to race as I tried to shrink back into the bed, hoping he wouldn't notice me.He was a tall, broad-shouldered man with a stern look on his face. He wore a black uniform with the emblem
