Liya's POV

School

Ding-Ding-

I could hear the glory bells setting off in my ears as I had rushed into the classroom. I was a sweating, panting mess but I didn't care, I was just glad I made it just in time.

I wished I had not rushed in so blindly because I had ended up colliding with Connor.

His icy blue orbs that had once lit up in excitement at seeing me, almost immediately darkened when I noticed Tiffany slithering around him while twirling her brunette locks between her fingers.

My eye twitched at the mere sight of Tiffany and I was just seconds away from sneezing at her obnoxious perfume. I had no idea why she loved such heavy perfume but I definitely knew it was more irritating than disgusting.

"Damn it!" I heard Connor mutter a curse word underneath his breath before taking a step away from me.

He was the Alpha heir of a neighboring pack that had allied with Wade's pack and a heartthrob for many girls. His beach blond hair that had wavy tendrils graze his forehead and icy blue eyes, along with a defined jawline was worth swooning over.

Sadly, he belonged to me and it was a secret that has existed between the both of us for about a year.

"Connor. you certainly don't want this filth rubbing off on you, do you? You don't want to be the guardian angel of this slut, do you?" Her sultry voice purred as she slid her finger down his chest.

Oh how ironic coming from a very famous slut! Talk about hypocrisy at its peak.

My eyes twitched yet again at the sight and so did Connor's. He was a germaphobe, who was extremely cautious of how he was touched, but apparently Tiffany wasn't getting the message and it was irritating me.

"Hey, hey, hey. looky what we have here."

My blood froze when I heard approaching steps accompany that awfully familiar baritone. I didn't need to look up to know it was them.

They towered over me before moving towards Connor, "what's in your arms, Connor?"

Connor arched a brow at them, "do I look like I'm hugging her? I don't like getting myself stained with dirt and you know that."

I peeked at them through my lashes, battling the heartbreak I was currently experiencing. I hadn't expected Connor to say that and it definitely stabbed my heart to see no iota of care no regret etched on his features.

"It doesn't look like it." Gunter sneered, eyeing me like I was garbage drenched in mud.

Connor didn't need them to say more.

The triplets were known to be very domineering, intimidating and dominating. Their father's hierarchy only added to their ego. so going against them was never a good decision.

Especially Connor, his father and the triplets' father are allies on the surface, but in reality, he is constantly suppressed. He cannot afford to offend the triplets, as it would bring catastrophic consequences to his pack. I know it, I understand it, although it really pains me.

Afraid of putting Connor in a difficult position, I immediately signaled him with my eyes to quickly push me away.

Casting a cold gaze down at me, Connor shoved me as hard as he could and I whimpered in pain when I stumbled backwards and my head collided with the wall behind me, making my head spin.

I was yet to recover from the effect of the collision when the teacher walked into the classroom, making everyone shuffle towards their seat.

The teacher arched a brow at the sight of me crawling towards my seat that was on the second row, because I couldn't stand up.

"Liya, if you're sick, just go home and never come to school again," the teacher threatened me with a cold tone.

The classmates in the classroom echoed, "Yeah! People like her shouldn't be in our class!"

I endured the pain, biting my lip to hold back the tears. No one helped me, so I stood up on my own and returned to my seat.

I turned when I felt a tap on my shoulder, sniffling at the raven-haired girl that passed me a piece of paper with a blank look on her face.

I collected it and gently began unfolding it with shaky hands, wondering what new insult it contained.

But my eyes widened in confusion when I saw Connor's neat writing.

[ I'm really sorry, I had to do it. Please don't remain mad at me and meet me behind the cafeteria after school, I have somewhere I want to take you tonight. I love you. ]

The corners of my lips lifted slightly. Of course, I knew he loved me. I never blamed him; the ones at fault were those three bastards!

Ding-Ding

Soon, in my anxious anticipation, the school bell rang, echoing through the vast space.

"Times up." The Teacher's stern tone had everyone groaning, with the exception of myself. I had finished a few minutes earlier.

The teacher began going around, collecting the scripts and when he got to my turn, I handed it to him, grabbed my bag and walked away as fast as I could, eager to get away from the gazes that bore into the back of my head.

I scurried down to the back of the cafeteria, wedging myself in the little space Connor and I used to hang out in school.

After a few minutes, he appeared with a guilty look on his face and immediately threw me into his arms, apologizing over and over to me, "I'm sorry, baby! I still can't protect you!"

His hoodie muffled my cries and his warmth offered me great comfort.

"Let's go, baby." He kissed my forehead and led me into his car.

Silence dominated the car as we drove.

I had my head leaned against the window, letting the breeze run through my hair, enjoying the soft music playing through the radio. I caught sight of trees lined up, the familiar smell of ocean breeze wafting through my nose.

Connor parked in a empty space and got out of the car. He jerked my car door open and I quietly slipped out. He pulled me into his arms, planting a kiss on my head as he led me towards a burger stand. We ordered two burgers and moved towards another stand to order two chocolate milk smoothies.

He took my hand in his and led me closer to the waters,and I could tell he was struggling to find the right words to say.

I detached my hand from his and lowered myself onto the wet sand with a sigh.

Connor sat beside me, tilting my head to lean on his chest. I had no idea when I let a tear slide down my cheeks, "I hate them so much, I just want to get away from here. I can't stand them."

Connor sighed and leaned into me, "I'm more with them than you are, and their fuck buddy, that fucking Tiffany. I envision myself wringing their fucking necks."

I shook my head negatively at him because I could feel his rage bubbling to the surface, "No, Don't do that. I just want to leave this shitty land. Take me away, honey."

Not long ago, Connor told me that he wanted to leave with me. He expressed his exhaustion at having to fake his actions just to maintain a position of power. We both decided to leave tomorrow evening.

"Of course, my dear. I haven't forgotten our vows. Everything is ready! We're about to start a new life!" His commitment instantly reassured my heart.

I smiled and nodded, making the same promise, "Uh-huh! Let's go start a new life!"

Liya's POV

Soon, the sun set, and Connor drove me back near the forest. However, we were quite late compared to the designated curfew time.

Connor parked and I jumped out, walking to the other side to give him a gentle kiss before sprinting off, running as fast as I could while silently praying that triplets wouldn't be back home.

Once I had arrived at the mansion, I climbed over the back gate, deciding to use the garden route instead. I arrived at the back door and just to my luck, it was unlocked. I slipped into the house, gently shutting the door behind me.

I sniffed the air, and my heart leapt because I couldn't perceive any scent – none of that three were around!

I was ecstatic, grateful that the goddess spared my life one more day. I walked down the hallway that led to the stairs and tiredly jogged up the spiralling steps.

I yawned while making the trip to my room. It's almost time to go. I need to take something with me.

But I paused when I walked past my room and heard the echoes of loud breathy moans and screams.

"Ah! Hunter! Gunter! Ryder! Harder!" The nasally voice was moaning the names of each triplet and my heart picked up pace, curious to know what was going on.

They brought other women to have sex in my bed! Their absurdity is unimaginable!

I turned and found the door half closed, giving me almost a clear sight of what was going on.

My eyes popped when I saw Tiffany lying on my bed, with Ryder standing over her, driving his cock into her mouth, Gunter licking her body while stroking himself and Hunter ramming into her life his sanity depended on it.

Hunter indeed wasn't a saint, just someone who didn't want to touch me.

For some reason, an uncontrollable twinge of jealousy surged within me for a moment.

Why was I feeling this way?!

But soon, I regained my composure. I stumbled backwards, overwhelmed by the embarrassing sight I had intruded on.

Ryder immediately turned, having noticed my presence and smirked.

I made to scramble out of the room but was paused my Gunter's clear command, "Do not even dare, you're going to stand there and watch us fuck her till we're satisfied."

I was rooted on the spot, burning red at the implications of his order.

It killed my eyes to watch them but the more I did and noticed how her moans deliberately became more sultry, the more I found an ache growing in-between my legs.

My eyes were rooted on Hunter's cock driving into her, his head tipped backwards while he groaned in satisfaction.

I shuffled between my feet, raising my eyes to the ceiling to combat the throb.

I felt so worthless and abused, standing there and watching them take turns on Tiffany. I wondered how she was able to keep up with their libido because she didn't seem tired, rather she seemed to be craving more.

After what seemed like hours to me, Ryder walked up to me, not minding his nudity.

He grabbed my head and pointed at the numerous condoms on the floor and rasped, "go pick them up and dispose of them."

I felt myself throw up on my mouth at what he was asking me to do. I couldn't believe how low he was putting me in front of Tiffany who seemed to be enjoying my misery.

"Really, you should be honored that you got to touch their sperm."

I heard Tiffany's cruel laughter and snarky comment, summoning every strand of restraint I could muster to refrain from snapping.

Taking a deep breath, I forced the tears away and quietly obeyed, moving towards their trashcan.

"Can I stay over?" I heard her purr while rubbing Hunter's arms, who's eyes remained on me, watching me like a hawk.

"It's late, start leaving." Hunter's cold reply, struck a nerve but she made the decision to press harder, "Baby, after all that we just did, I'm super tired."

On the side, Gunter chuckled and said, "Beauty, I advise you not to act cute with my big brother."

Sure enough, Hunter flared up, his brow twitching in frustration. "I SAID, LEAVE."

No extra words were needed, but it was enough to intimidate everyone.

Tiffany blinked at him, shocked by his irritated tone but decided to play it cool. She grabbed her clothes and begrudgingly began throwing them on while I was made to stand and watch by Ryder who was standing behind me.

When she put on her shoes, she strutted towards the door. Ryder had moved aside, making me equally move as well, so she could leave.

She shot me a deadly glare when she saw how Ryder's arm was still at my waist and leaned closer to whisper harshly, "Don't think of conquering them with your body! I AM the Luna of this Pack! And you will always be nothing but a shitty servant in the form of a step-sister. You don't even qualify to be a whore!"

She spat at me, making me gasp as the sticky liquid slid down my cheek. Tears stung my eyes at the impact of her words and I felt my anger grow.

Damn! Who does she think she is?! She crossed the line!

I quickly raised my hand, ready to strike her. But before I could, Ryder was faster. He grabbed my hand and shouted, "Stop!"

Hunter roared, "Get out!"

Only then did Tiffany give up her provocations, turned around, slammed the door, and left.

Once we heard the front door slam, I made to leave because I already felt humiliated enough.

Hunter grabbed my arm, his eyes burning into mine with such intensity as he growled, "Why are you just returning after school ended several hours ago, huh?"

His aggression terrified me, making me shake like a leaf when his hands wrapped around my neck. "Are you plotting some sort of rebellion, huh little one?"

I gasped, clawing at his hands for release because I couldn't breathe. Tears stung my eyes at his increased force but he didn't seem to care.

"Answer me!"

"N-no I swear, I had gone to get ingredients for dinner." I choked out, hoping he wouldn't pry further.

Gunter just sat there, contrary to his usual self, quietly watching the ordeal with squinted eyes.

Hunter tossed me aside, moving to fetch his briefs, having gotten tired of standing naked before me.

Ryder had began sniffing me suddenly, growling as his brows furrowed. He grabbed me by my hair, his nostrils flaring as he seethed, "Who were you with?"

"N-no one." I cried out in panic.

He tossed across the room, causing my body to collide with the wall.

I cried out, writhing as pain shit up my spin, making my head ache and a sharp ring to set off in my ear.

I looked up with tear-filled eyes, whimpering I saw the triplets standing over me with deadly eyes.

Gunter stood up, walked to me, crouched down, and with a mischievous glint in his eyes, threatened, "Hope you're not getting any funny ideas, Liya. Understand that you can only belong to us and no one else so if we by any chance discover you've been hanging around with some other male, best believe we'll kill him right before your eyes in the most brutal way ever. Understood?"

I nodded as quickly as I could, growing even more afraid by their menacing aura.

"Get out!" Hunter roared at me and I didn't need him to repeat himself.

I scampered out of the room, letting the tears fall freely.

Did they discover Connor?

No! It's impossible! The scene we played in the classroom today must have fooled them!

Moreover, even if they did find out, so what? We're leaving tomorrow!

I've waited so long; everything will surely go smoothly!

***

Hunter's POV.

I knew she was lying, and it irritated me even more than ever she had the audacity to lie to my brothers and I.

What was even shocking was that she was tearing up, and I believed it! Those fake crocodile tears.

Words could not explain how angry I was.

The silence in the dining room was deafening. We stared at each other blankly as we watched the food that was placed before us.

She cooked and served everything by herself.

The food was almost as good looking as her. She was beautiful, She was incredibly slim but still held such beautiful curves that drove me crazy. She had little ass to show and a decently shaped hip.

I only needed to measure it with both eyes to know that I could hold both of her boobs in one hand.

Her skin was flawless and beautiful, and one could compare the silkiness to that of a baby, and her curly ginger hair complimented it perfectly.

I loved how her eyes rolled back every time my younger brothers pleasured her, how her pink plumped lips bruised every time she bit her lips, and I loved listening to her moan.

My cock was hard from the first moment I saw her, and she didn't even need to be near me to awaken my desire. Inexplicably I just love watching her convulse uncontrollably as she gets fucked, watching her tearfully plead with me for help, it's even better than actually fucking a woman!

She was ours, yet she had the freaking guts to meet up with that bloody coward and lousy excuse of an heir-apparent.

"Hunter! Why did you stop me this afternoon! Should have killed that asshole man!" Ryder asked as soon as she became out of sight.

The anger I was trying so much to hold back bubbled back home, Ryder's tantrums seemed distant as I remembered as she threw herself into his filthy arms, crying and seeking comfort in his arms.

Those two were so fucking into it that they actually didn't even notice the three of us!

It's funny how she thought we wouldn't find out about it? His scent, which she tried to cover up with the earthly musk, was still all over her whole body!

The man even gave up protecting her at school! She really is a foolish person with no discernment!

I ran my hands through my hair, irritated. "Don't worry, the game has just begun."

Did she think she could escape by attaching herself to a so-called heir with no real power? This time, I will make her understand that she can never escape from us in her entire life!

"Hunter, it looks like you have a plan," Gunter said with a smile, looking at me.

"Of course, we GENTLEMEN wouldn't want to ruin our dear stepsister's plan, would we?" I replied as I rubbed my thumb on one of my knuckles.

Both of them looked at me with confusion, and I continued to explain, "Since she wants to leave, let her go. You see, falling from heaven to hell is what wakes a person up."

She needed to know who was in charge of her destiny!

Liya's POV

I had woken up bubbly today because today was the day I finally gain my freedom.

Yesterday, Connor told me about the recent news of a rogue breakout that caused a stir. All packs have heightened their security levels. But fortunately, the Werewolf Council organized a meeting to discuss the escalating rogue attacks. All Alphas and their mates would attend.

So, Connor could bring me to his pack. I was going to hide in his room, and once it was 2 am, we planned to run away with the supplies he had successfully gathered.

I had already made up my mind. Today, on this full moon day, I would give myself to Connor! It was my way of expressing my love for him, marking the beginning of a new life!

Now my only worry was the triplets but they had muttered something about going to hang out with friends till late in the evening. It's as if they made way for me on purpose. But I don't want to think about what they think right now. I was too giddy at the thought of giving myself to Connor.

He had requested we have sex a few times but stopped asking after I had refused each time, saying he'd wait. He always treats me with such respect.

Now I was ready and I just couldn't wait to see his reaction to my decision.

I kept glancing at the time, it was now late in the evening and the triplets weren't back yet.

The hour Connor was supposed to pick me up was drawing near.

With a small bag prepared, I poked my head out, ensuring that the coast was clear before running down the hallway, being careful not to alert the attention of the guards that were stationed outside.

I slipped through the back door, carefully scanned the area and once I saw that no one was around, I quietly ran as fast as I could, blending with the shadows.

I moved down the path that was lined with rose bushes because I figured the roses would help in masking my scent. Besides, it was the shortest route that led to Connor's pack and he was supposed to be waiting for me at the end of the narrow route.

I caught sight of someone standing outside the path and my eyes brightened. His sweet scent of Lavender and earth flooded my nose and I found myself quickening my pace.

"Connor!" I called out to him in a soft voice.

His eyes lit up when he was me coming and opened his arms for me to leap into it.

He kissed me and I gingery returned his kiss, smiling at him.

"Let's go!"

I nodded firmly.

He took my hand and led me through the clearing of thick, tall grasses. There was a little underground burrow that I had used several times to sneak into his pack and Connor didn't waste a second more in sending me down first.

When I landed on the thick stack of hay, he slid climbed through, landing almost next to me.

He moved to check the perimeter and once he was certain that it was safe, signalled me to follow him. We ran as fast as we could while ducked, hoping not to draw attention to ourselves.

Soon, he successfully brought me to his beautiful room that offered a lovely view of the mountain and the lake.

I dropped my bags and hopped into his arms, fueled by my adrenaline high that still had my heart palpitating.

"Darling, I can't believe everything went so smoothly!" After saying that, I initiated a kiss, excitedly deepening the moment!

I was thrilled and touched that he was willing to abandon everything just to be with me.

I threaded my fingers through his hair, loving how his throaty groan vibrated against my skin. His fingers dug into my ass as he tried to dominate the kiss.

We didn't care if we were both covered in germs. Connor might be a germaphobe but when around me, he wasn't as nitpicky or uncomfortable as he was with outsiders. I've always been different from others.

I felt his finger sneak underneath my shirt and I let him, raising my hands for him to do away with my shirt.

His surprised eyes didn't go unnoticed by me but it didn't seem to bother me.

"Connor. Come on,"

He tossed me on his bed, moving aside his packed bags to create more room for what we were about to do.

He stared at my bra clad breasts in admiration and muttered a curse word.

"Are you sure, baby?" He asked again, still surprised by my willingness.

"100% sure!" I nodded at him and his smile grew, taking resemblance like that of a five year old that got his desired toy delivered by Santa Claus.

He took off his shirt and leaned down to kiss me harder than before, trying his hardest to control his desire.

His hands found my buckled jean and I bit my bottom lip when he undid the buckle and began slowly sliding the material out from me.

I tugged on his hair, bringing his lips back to mine. They were so soft and tasted like raspberries, melting in my mouth each time our tongues danced.

My breaths became desperate pants that clouded my reasoning as his lips trailed down my neck.

I closed my eyes, enjoying how warm and gentle his lips were against my skin.

"Ah, Connor, honey!" I let out a quiet moan, being careful not to make noise enough to attract attention.

My back arched as Connor's lips found my left nipple, sending shudders down my spine, awakening goose-pimples on my skin.

My eyes subconsciously met with the clock hanging on the wall and my heart leapt when I saw the time.

12am.

This was it, a new life was officially beginning for the both of us.

I jerked when Connor nipped on my skin, busying himself with licking every inch of my delicate skin. His attraction to me drowned me, feeding me more pleasure as he took his time in getting familiar with every single inch of my body, making me wriggle and moan.

"Get into me, Connor!" I dropped all reservations and invited him. I wanted to completely become his woman!

Boom!

A loud noise shattered everything! Along with the sound, the door was knocked down.

Even more terrifying, the triplets stood at the door, full of murderous intent.

Our intimate position seemed to create a deathly atmosphere, thickening the air with tension.

My heart thudded dangerously in chest as I stared at them at a loss for words.

Where the hell did they come from and how did they know I was here?

Hunter growled with eyes turned a dark shade of silver, elongated canines and bared claws, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH OUR MATE?"

What?! Their mate?

Who are they talking about?!

Me?!
