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?!

Gunter's Pov

I'm going to kill him!

That's all I can think about right now. I'm sure no Alpha could endure a scene like the one I just witnessed as a man tried to undress my mate while my mate was still damn well cooperating with him!

"Fuck you!" I roared, charging at Conner and kicking him over onto the ground.

"What are you doing?" He yelled.

He's really not sober when he's dead in the water, how dare he yell at me after doing such a stupid thing.

I reached down to him, and I saw as fear flashed in his eyes. I smiled with satisfaction and said, "Can't you see? I'm going to kill you!"

I slammed my fist into his cheeks, and blood stained my fist. He covered his eyes and curled up on the ground, wailing. But it wasn't nearly enough.

I've wanted to kill this obsessed asshole for a long time, but my law-abiding big brother kept stopping me. Now, I had no restrictions, I'm going to unload on him!

I had only just stepped on his left shoulder and was about to push when a white, slender arm wrapped around my leg and a pleading cry came from my feet.

"No! I beg you! Don't kill him!"

My head tilts slightly and it's Liya. She pleaded as tears stained her cheek.

Even in her disheveled state, she still looked pretty. She didn't realize that her pleading would only kill the man.

"I promise he didn't do anything. He is innocent. Please let go of him," The fear in her voice was evident as she tried to reach out to help.

I kicked her to the ground as well, "Heh, you're in no position to plead for him. This is all the result of your own sluttery ways! Do you think we don't know about your damn plans? You beg one more time and I'll stomp on his skull."

Ryder came over and draped his shirt over her, carried her away, and reminded her, "You know, Gunter never jokes about such things."

She shuddered in instant fear and closed her mouth, looking at me with her scarlet eyes, daring only to shake her head slightly.

The fact that she was feeling pity for this thing was annoying, and it only made me rage more. I dragged Conner by his hair till I pushed him against a wall till we could circle him.

His eyes were already smeared with blood, and he could only murmur and beg for mercy, "No... Don't kill me... Please. I didn't do anything."

Hunter lets out a cold grunt next to me, "Liya, is this the kind of man you like? Coward!"

"Don't bullshit him, just choke him to death." I don't want to waste my time on this kind of guy.

My hand had just been placed on his neck and was about to exert force when a scream came from outside the window, almost shattering our eardrums. Several of us all covered our ears with both hands and let out moans of pain.

I felt my entire body go numb. I turned to look at my brothers, and it seemed I wasn't the only one who was affected.

I heard another loud, painful shriek, and a burning pain travelled on my skin. It felt like I had been placed into molten lava. Instantly, another powder-like drug was dropped into the room, causing me to even feel my airways burning.

"Cough... cough... Are you guys okay? Ryder, how about Liya!" Hunter shouted, checking on our safety.

I managed to squeeze out a few words from my throat, "I... I'm fine..."

Not far away, Ryder also responded in pain, "We're okay. Liya is in my arms. We're all fine."

I struggled to open my eyes, but the powder in the room had not dispersed yet. I could only keep my eyes closed and feel around for Conner's original position.

But he was not there!

"Damn it! Where the hell did that bastard go?!" I shouted, my actions becoming more frantic.

However, at that moment, his voice came from behind me, and he was pleading with someone, "Please save me!"

I vaguely heard him say something I didn't quite understand, "I will... be loyal..."

Loyal? He was begging someone?

I turned around in the direction of the voice, just opening my eyes, but I only saw him being taken away by a woman.

"Don't go!" I instinctively tried to stop them, but a sharp pain hit my head again, unbearable this time. This pain was completely different, as if my wolf wanted to burst out of my body. The sensation was like my wolf urgently wanting to meet its mate.

Just as I thought about this, unsurprisingly, Liya's roar echoed, "Ah!!"

I turned my head over to her, and I saw her tiny figure splattered on the floor. She moved around in pain as her transformation finally began. She yelled again, and I saw her nails becoming longer. Hair is also gradually sticking out from all parts of the body.

And we as mate were affected by her, unable to control the wolf trying to break out of our bodies. It kept growling in my head, "Mark her! Tag our MATE! so she can never escape again!"

Right! We need to mark her now!

Ryder and I rushed over to her at full speed. My hands moved under her back, and I pulled her closer to myself.

She smelled good, and her body was warm. The moonlight glistened on her, and her body shone under the light. I let out a frustrated groan as I grabbed her neck.

Ryder placed a light kiss on her neck before he looked up at me. I just wanted to mark her. I wanted her now.

"Wait, not now!" Hunter's voice made me stop halfway to her neck.

I looked up at him with frustration layered in my eyes. I placed her back gently.

"What now?" I said through gritted teeth.

She groaned again as i ran her hands through her hair. I could feel all the pain she was going through.

"She's not even conscious right now, let's just leave, it's the best thing we can do." He said.

Not really wanting to admit it, but I had to say he had a point. Tagging her while she wasn't conscious was just mean.

Ryder didn't move, obviously not wanting to leave. I tapped him on the shoulder and bobbed my head to signal him to leave before he reluctantly followed Hunter away.
