Liya's POVA blinding headache slicing through my skull roused me out of my slumber. I let out a whimper, my hand coming up to clutch my head. But the pain in my wrist was equally as excruciating. My eyes were still not open thanks to the terrible headache, and I clutched at the space beneath me to steady myself, only for my fingers to graze a wooden object that felt like a bed frame.I was laying on a soft mattress. How?! My head throbbed as I tried to recall what had happened in the last few hours before I fell unconscious. When I recalled Tiffany and the two men who had tried to assault me, my body jerked up on reflex."Don't touch me!" I yelled out, flailing my arms as I finally opened my eyes."Liya! You're safe, you're safe…relax."A pair of strong arms wrapped around me gently and tried to steady me. When I looked up, I realized it was Ryder. That was when I remembered everything that came after; my almost painless transformation, the exploding power of my wolf and how I had sh
Alpha Wade's POVMy eyes narrowed as I watched my sons storm out of that omega's room and down to the courtyard, bitter expressions on their faces. Anger sliced through me at this ridiculous display. I had been watching them ever since they revealed to me that the dirty seed of Hana's was their fated mate. Just the thought of it made my skin crawl in disgust.But I knew to be watchful, so I kept a close eye on them. My hopes that they would be smart enough and toss her aside like they usually did when they bullied her, were cast away when I saw that they were being nice. Even going as far as pleading for her forgiveness, saving her, and even sitting in her room whilst she slumbered!What nonsense?!!I flexed my fingers at the urge to hit something. My once powerful, no-nonsense sons were nothing more that meek fucking pups when they were around her. The mate bond had such an influence over them, there was no denying that soon they would be wrapped around her fingers and rendered usele
Liya's POVIt felt like a figment of my imagination at first when my body roused from a deep sleep, but when I heard the light squeaking of my door as it was slightly pushed open, I jumped to alert. The palpitation of my heart filled my ears as my fingers clenched the sheets beneath me. I wondered if it was the triplets again, trying once more to convince me to warm up to them. Or could they be here to drop their charade and continue their bullying once again?I kept quiet, not even daring to breathe.My mind raced with thoughts of what to do, of how to fight back if they tried anything, but I was helpless like ever before. I blinked hard, trying to adjust my eyes to the night. Instead of the three tall figures I was expecting yet dreading to see, my eyes fell on the figure of a woman.It took only one sweep of my eyes to realise who it was."Mother.." the word left my lips as I stared at her in surprise.Her eyes met mine and she gave me a weak smile and inched closer to my bed, her
Luna Hana's POVI shut the door to my daughter's room, swallowing back the sobs that threatened to spill from my lips. I walked away, fatigued and exhausted, but still careful to be fast enough so I wouldn't get caught outside by Wade. I had learned his schedule by now, and so I knew he would be in his study downstairs for about thirty minutes more before he headed back up.I stepped up my pace, hurrying up the stairs. He had been in an exceptionally dark mood since he found out his triplet sons were mated to my daughter. That too was also as shocking and disappointing to me, but I knew he did not consider my own feelings. Needless to say, I tried my best to keep a good distance away from him to avoid incurring his wrath.Liya's words still reverberated in my mind as I moved. It stung, more than I could ever explain or describe. Was I really a bad mother? A terrible person to let my daughter continue suffering in the hands of these evil men? Maybe I was. There wasn't a day that passed
Liya's POVI was not fully healed when dawn came the next morning, but I wasted no time in hopping out of bed at first light. My limbs moved at the speed of light as I jumped into the shower and pulled on my clothes afterwards almost an hour earlier than I usually did. My reason for this was to avoid any sort of drama today. If possible, with the moon goddess on my side, I would get through the day without getting involved in any sort of drama.There was still so much to process after the terrible day I'd had yesterday. As I packed up my bags and books for school, I thought back to being saved by Ryder, and the forehead kiss Gunter had planted on my forehead. I shuddered at the thought.Maybe I was just imagining it. Maybe it was all just an effect of the herbs that were administered to me.After I programmed my brain to believe this, I flung my messy hair into a bun and raced down to the kitchen. The head maid was still yawning, getting ready for the day when she saw me."Why are you
Liya's POVI had no idea what was happening to me. But there was one thing I was certain of; I did not want it to stop.As I pressed myself up against the stranger and felt his strong fingers graze over my skin, I let out a soft sigh and threw my head back. Heat like none I had ever known coursed through my veins, spreading over my skin down to my fingertips.My core tightened with nerve wracking pleasure as he spanned my waist and leaned into me, whispering into my ears. "Wanna get out of here?"My lips parted to blurt out a refusal, but I found myself nodding instead. My head spun as he pulled me away from the rowdy party and the disco lights, and dragged me up to a dimly lit room. I was too weak to notice anything else other than the bohemian aesthetic of the room and the queen sized bed that sat in the centre.Now away from the crowd, the stranger spun me around, his hands roaming over my body as he trailed kisses down my neck."Ah..." a soft moan escaped my lips at that motion th
Hunter's POVMy eyes darted swiftly across the wide bedroom as I walked in. Cursing under my breath at Liya's absence, I made do with pacing around the room in anticipation of her arrival.She should be here, for fucks sake! Where the hell was she?!I had searched high and low for her throughout the mansion but she was nowhere to be found. Which meant that she was probably still at school. If that was the case, there was nothing I could do.But that didn't stop the anger from bristling within me. I picked up a random object from her dressing table and stared at it absentmindedly as memories of the night I fucked Liya resurfaced. I could feel my cock throbbing and stretching out through my pants as I tried to relive that night.My wolf howled hungrily, also stimulated by the thoughts running through my head.'Where is our mate?!’ He growled almost painfully.“I don't know either. But I sure as hell hope she'll be here soon.”Gritting my teeth, I lowered myself down into her bed, sprawl
Liya's POVI didn't even have the chance to comprehend the ecstasy of having Hunter's lips on mine when I heard the door swing open. At first, I was not sure how to react. I panicked, wondering why I'd let myself be so taken by Hunter. He was usually the absent and silent one, so seeing him so visibly drawn to me was not something I ever pictured.And I hated myself for eating it up like an idiot.The tingles running through my body were still raging when Ryder yanked me away from Hunter and pulled me behind him. I shrunk back at the fury emanating from Ryder and Gunter's wolves. They were so angry, I feared they would tear down the room to pieces! And that was going to raise a lot of consequences and put me in trouble!My eyes darted around as I wondered what to do. If Alpha Wade got wind of this, he would surely blame me. I shut my eyes and said a short prayer to the moon goddess to keep me free from any trouble. With nothing left to do, I shifted my attention back to the triplets.
