Anastasia's pov
I did hear from my step sisters that the Lycan's Triplets' were a feast to look upon as they were the most beautiful creatures to walk the land of earth, but I had thought they were over exaggeratingI couldn't believe men who were cruel and evil could look any more than horrendous pigs and ugly, scarred monsters, but standing before then now, my whole being froze at the sight of them, sitting behind their large table, their eyes, piercing and cold staring right into my soul.Damien.He was the eldest of the Triplets'. He was a large figure exuding a dominant aura that filled the room and weaneed my knees from where I stood. His jet-black hair cascaded down his broad shoulders, framing piercing cold blue eyes that seemed to hold a thousand memories and souls of his past victims. His chiseled features were accentuated by a prominent deep scar that ran across his cheeks.Draven was the middle brother. He possessed an air of enigmatic allure. He had this sexy, play boy aura to his dark, immese demeanour unlike Damien's who aura was cold and mature. Draven had sleek, silver hair that cascaded down his own shoulders framing intense blue eyes. These features were in great contrast to his skin, dark as fine marble. He looked the most Ethereal and beautiful, yet his eyes hiring into mine were cold and unsettling.Darius was the youngest of the three but had a formidable presence exuding an aura of primal power. He had wild raven dark hair cut shirt to his neck accentuating sharp, piercing eyes, one blue and the other a teal color which was quite enchanting and mesmerizing, a unique feature of his that was hard to miss.With faces ardoned with stubble and Greek like features too beautiful to look real, these men shared a common need of power and ruthlessness. Their appearance alone was enough to to break whatsoever will I had built up earlier, and I could feel my hands shaking as I stepped in, hearing the door click shut behind me.It felt not like I had entered hell and these men were the devil's incarnates.The Lycan Devil Triplets"Is this some kind of a joke? A prank?" Darius spoke up first, a scoff leaving his lips as he glared hatefully at me"This thing is supposed to bear our heir? The heir of Belthemore; our future child?" Draven's voice was cold, and the hatred in his deep voice resonated in the whole room .I felt my stomach clutch with fear as the men's eyes only seemed to grow colder. My wolf whimpered and withdrew.I didn't know why, but the distaste, displeasure and disappointment on their faces hurt me- I felt so embarrassed as I pulled the robe tighter around me.Damien picked a file sitting on the desk Infront of him and flipped through it, levelling his eyes with the file and my figure.He looked the most intimidating even though he was yet to say anything."Anastatia Ember. Daughter of Alpha Gregor and her mother Luna Ashena...""Stepmother." I cut in instinctively before my eyes widened when he glanced up sharply and I realized what I did."What?"I swallowed shakily, not knowing what to say."I believe you were asked a question, princess ." Draven coldly reminded me."S- she's not my mother. My mother is dead." I replied softly before lowering my eyes."It doesn't change the fact that you're weak. I can smell your wolf, but she's just too weak. Can you shift?" Darius asked this time, leaning forward on both elbows to impose a hardened stare on me.Shift?It's been a while I shifted. I couldn't even If I wanted to. Due to malnutrition and abuse, my wolf was so weak that sometimes I was no less than an ordinary human.In shame, I shook my head, lowering my eyes again."Are you sure she's his daughter? Or did they bring the wrong one to make a fool out of us? Did they think we wouldn't notice she's an imposter. I doubt she has her Alpha's blood. She's pathetic."My heart felt like It was being strangled at their words. I've heard so many hurtful things from people for so long that I had built a thick skin towards their spiteful words, but right now, It's like their words could tear through the walls I had built up right into my heart.For the first time In a long time, I hated myself."No..." I raise my eyes to meet Damien's eyes again. They were intense and intimidating, yet I can't look away. There was a sudden confusion in his eyes but it quickly disappeared like I hadn't seen It. "She's Anastasia. She's the one the Late Lycan King stated on his will before he passed away. She's our mate. "Mate?I was confused but too speechless to say anything."I feel nothing towards her. My wolf has been a lot quieter since she walked in. Other than resentment, nothing. This has to be a mistake." Darius snapped coldly."He could have picked anyone else. Why someone so weak that she could be passed off as a human. We are the Lycan Kings of Belthemore. We are feared amongst even the most powerful Vampires and witches, and yet, a mere being has been fated to bear our heir?" Draven's voice sent chilled feelings running down my spine.I was fated to them? By their late father, the Lycan King? But how? Why? Why me especially? And why do the Triplets' sound like they had no choice? I'm not surprised they'd want to reject me but they're not doing it. It seems like they had no choice.Damien pulled a drawer close to him and pulled out another document before setting It down. The entire time, I had not moved from my spot, scared to even go another inch close to them. They knew better than to even want to get any close to me given by the disgusted looks on their faces.I didn't want this. I want a mate who would love me and show me endless happiness. Not one who would hate me. Am I truly cursed to never receive love ?"It doesn't matter. As far as she can bear our heir, there's no reason to complain any further. We have to obey our father's will or like the shaman said, we might never get an heir. She's our only choice " The last sentence was spoken with difficulty and resentment but I swallowed, saying nothing as he continued. "The contract will ensure she keeps to her own part of the agreement and we'll do the same- for the sake of our future child."That being said, he looked like he wanted to invite me over- probably to sign the contract, but all of a sudden, Draven cut in with two cold words that had blood draining from my face."Strip. Now"Damien's pov I looked at the girl, noticing how her eyes grew wide in shock. We both locked eyes and I could instantly tell she was scared. I wasn't surprised. It's been a normal way of life since our existence; feeding off the fear of people in our presence. We thrived on them and Anastasia wasn't any different. She looked like any other she wolf we've encountered - nothing special there. I've seen a lot more beautiful women. But green eyes. Now that was something to catch my attention. Only witches had green eyes and they were rare. I had never seen a she wolf with green eyes before and certainly not an emerald green shade that looked like jewels- like the pendant of the jewel around her neck. That amulet looked so familiar - It exuded this aura around her that made It impossible for me to even access her inner and thoughts. I doubted she knew the power of the amulet around her neck. Her weakness disgusted me and got me furious. As the eldest, I dreamed of having an heir from
Anastasia's pov I was shaken in tears and shame from what I had just gone through, but Dante was towering over me now as my teary eyes read through the contents of the contract, and I knew he had only come to my room for one purpose and It as to get the contract signed We're th Lycan Triplets so repulsed by my body that they couldn't even bear to stand the sight of me anymore? I'm disbelief, I read the contract;Contract for Anastasia ElyonThis agreement is between Anastasia Elyon (Contractee) and the Lycan Triplets, Damien, Draven, and Darius Valerian (Contractors).The Contractee, • Agrees to be bound by the terms of this Contract for a period of one year, commencing upon the signing of this agreement.• Shall provide intimacy to the Contractors during the contract period. The Contractors shall have the right to request and engage in intimate activities with the Contractee at their discretion, with the understanding that consent and mutual respect shall always be upheld no
Draven's POV I could hear the soft whimper leaving her lips the moment I parted her legs with my knee and held her down on the bed with the other at her side. I wanted to get this over with and have her leave. I was bothered at how cautious I was being because she looked so fragile any slightest movement and I could crush her. In contrast to my skin, hers was ghastly pale. However, her eyes, enchanting as It may were staring up at me in horror and utter fear. Her entire body language was screaming for comfort. "Look, I'm not going to hurt you. The earlier we do this the better," I growled, keeping her quiet so she just lay there staring at me. "And I can't do this If you're this tense."She took in slow breaths and I smirked when she had her eyes cast down, trying to relax. She really didn't know what was going on did she? Did she think we were going on some rollercoaster ride? "You done?" With a cocky ark to my brow I leaned down with both hands still at her sides to hold up my
Draven's pov I stood there, watching as a slow lazy smile spread across her face before she finally turned towards me. I was already standing right behind her at the edge of the bed, a furrowed brow in my face as I frowned deeply at her. Vixen was trouble when it came to telling her what to do. Considering her father was a respectable Alpha King of a well to do influential pack, she had pride. And she was my concubine. My Second concubine but she was my favorite. She had this fire in her that would never be subdued unless you challenged her head on. "Come on, are you seriously going to choose her over me? You know you're mine on Thursdays and Fridays. Will that all really change because of her." The word 'her' leaving her lips was venomous and hateful. "I don't wish to be disturbed tonight Vixen." I sign as she reached up on her toes to curl her arms around my neck, drawing in closer. She had on a see through Satin night gown that hugged her curves perfectly and exposed her cleav
Anastasia's pov I woke up feeling drowsy, my eyes groggily open as warm sun sunlight seeped into them. I squinted for a bit, trying to adjust to the bright light before getting up, feeling my whole body ache. Everywhere hurt so badly that I could barely even stand. "Why does my head hurt..." I groaned to myself, rubbing my head, hoping the numbering pain would go away. "Good morning Luna Anastasia." I heard two people say simultaneously and was stunned when I raised my head to see two maids standing in front of me with bright smiles on their faces. For a minute, I was so confused that I had forgotten about the aching pain in my head. I just sat there, one hand holding my head as I looked at them in shock. "G- good morning." Did they just call me Luna. "I'm Estella and this is my twin sister, Jessica and we were given the honor of serving you." They both bowed and I turned flustered when I understood the situation. "Please rise. That's okay." I say awkwardly and attempted to st
Anastasia's pov I felt all the blood in my face drain as I read the contract papers over and over again in my head until I grew sick with fear and disgust. The words seemed to blur before my eyes as my mind struggled to process the magnitude of what I had just read, my thoughts racing. "No." Mustering all the willpower in me, I faced the Alpha and his family as I said, not even flinching under their hard, cold glares. "I'm not doing It.""You don't have a choice in this. You never did." The Alpha's face was full of scorn and wrinkled lines as he frowned at me, ignoring the look of horror on my face. "The arrangements have already been made in prior to the agreement."I could feel my heart pounding hard against my chest, my vision glazed over and the papers dropped from my hands. I had been sold to the Lycan Triplets as their breeder. Not even a wife or a concubine, a breeder. The Lycan Triplets owned and ruled over the largest pack in the werewolf territory. They were known to be
Anastasia's pov As the car drove past the large golden gates leading into the Lycan Triplets' main mansion, I felt the butterflies in my stomach turn to angry moths, flapping and struggling to tear through and escape their confined space. I closed my eyes and steadied my breathing, hiding my shaky fingers under the small bag I had with me which contained my things.Not that I had much to pack anyway. I had a few change of clothes and my mother's things; the ruined journal, some of our pictures, which fortunately was still intact, a locket with our picture inside and an amulet with an emerald green jewel which I always wore, not only because It matched my eyes but because It was the last gift she had given me before she died and I promised myself never to take It off. It was the most expensive thing I owned and many times, my step family had tried to forcefully take It to sell but I didn't let them, even If it meant getting hit. I protected the amulet with my life and will continue
