Melissa.

I stayed curled on the floor for what felt like hours, my tears soaking the fabric of my wedding dress , my chest heaving with each sob. The silence of the room pressed down on me like a weight I could barely bear. But somewhere deep inside, beneath the shame, the grief, and the exhaustion, a tiny spark of defiance flickered. A part of me refused to remain completely broken.

Slowly, painfully, I forced my trembling limbs to move. My hands pressed against the cold floor, pushing, strugg

    Ann."What's going on here?"Fredrick's voice echoed across the garden, instantly cutting through the tense silence that had settled between Amelia and me.The moment she heard him, Amelia reacted almost immediately.She sprang to her feet without the slightest hesitation and hurried straight toward him.Before he could even ask another question, she threw herself into his arms.Tears streamed down her cheeks as though someone had turned on a faucet. Soft sobs escaped her lips, as she buried her face against him, trembling pitifully.I couldn't help staring at her.That was...incredibly fast. One second she had been glaring at me, and the next, she had transformed into a helpless victim.Now I finally understood why so many people found her believable. It wasn't merely the words she spoke, it was those tears.Those perfectly timed crocodile tears that seemed capable of appearing whenever they benefited her.They flowed so naturally that anyone unfamiliar with her tricks would undoubte

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    167. Over tea

    Ann.I had already made up my mind.That girl, Amelia, needed to be taught a lesson.She had caused Melissa far too much trouble, and I wasn't about to stand by and pretend not to notice.Melissa was simply too kind, and too soft-hearted. She always chose patience when she should have chosen retaliation.As her sister-in-law, I couldn't just watch someone continue to take advantage of her gentle nature.If Melissa wouldn't deal with Amelia...then I would.Without another thought, I lifted my hand and subtly motioned toward two nearby servants.They immediately understood the signal and hurried over before lowering their heads respectfully."My lady.""I need you to bring Amelia to me," I instructed calmly, as my tone was pleasant, almost gentle. "Tell her I'd like her to join me in the garden for a little chat."The two servants exchanged a brief glance before bowing once again."Yes, my lady."Just as they were about to leave, I stopped them."Oh, and one more thing."They immediatel

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    166. Never changes.

    Melissa.Without the slightest hesitation, I followed Louis out of Cypril's room.The heavy door clicked shut behind us, cutting off whatever emotions still lingered inside that room.For a few moments, neither of us spoke.The hallway stretched quietly before us, and only the sound of our footsteps echoed against the walls.I walked beside him in silence, my thoughts still tangled in everything I had just heard.The conversation with Cypril refused to leave my mind. They continued to swirl endlessly inside my head.Unable to hold it in any longer, I suddenly stopped walking.Louis noticed almost immediately, as he slowed his steps before turning to face me. A puzzled look crossed his face as his eyes settled on mine.I looked back at him, my emotions a mixture of anger, confusion, and curiosity.There was one question that had been bothering me ever since he interrupted the conversation.One question I desperately needed answered.“Why didn't you tell me about it?” I asked quietly.A

    Maddy.“Arrrrghhhhh!”The scream tore out of my throat before I could stop it.I spun around to face my brother, my entire body trembling with barely restrained fury. Every muscle was tense, and my hands were clenched so tightly that my nails dug painfully into my palms.“Can you see what's going on, Leonard?” I asked through gritted teeth, my voice thick with annoyance and frustration.My breathing came in short, uneven bursts as I stared at him.How could he expect me to remain calm after everything that had happened?“Relax, Maddy. You know the reason why we came here,” Leonard replied, meeting my furious gaze without flinching. His voice remained steady, almost annoyingly calm. “You can't act rashly. Control your emotions.”“To hell with that, Leonard!” I yelled, throwing my hands into the air in exasperation.Nothing about this situation deserved calmness.“Louis is my mate!” I shouted, my voice cracking with emotion. “I haven't rejected him yet, so how could he possibly choose s

  • MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL.    164. She was with me.

    Louis.I was already growing restless, as very passing second felt unbearably long.Melissa had been alone with Cypril for far too long, and the longer they stayed behind those closed doors, the more impatient I became.I couldn't sit still anymore.My thoughts refused to settle, each one worse than the last.What if Cypril was trying to manipulate her?What if he was using her emotions against her?Or worse...What if he tried to take advantage of her while she was vulnerable?The mere thought caused my jaw to tighten.No. I couldn't allow that to happen.Melissa was already mine—she belonged by my side, not theirs.A small smile almost tugged at my lips as another thought crossed my mind.I really couldn't wait for us to discuss and fix our wedding date. The sooner we got married, the better.Once the ceremony was complete, those triplets would have no reason to keep hovering around her.They would finally have to stay far away.As strange as it sounded, I almost felt grateful for t

    Melissa."Get hold of yourself, Melissa!" The words echoed loudly inside my head, drowning out everything else. "Do not be deceived by his sweet talks."I squeezed my eyes shut for the briefest moment, repeating those words to myself over and over again.Yes. That's right.I couldn't afford to let my heart waver now.If everything he was saying was true...If it had always been me...Then why?Why had I been the one forced to suffer?Why had I spent so long watching him—them choose someone else?Why had everyone around us believed Amelia was the one he truly cared about?None of it made sense.His words had to be lies—beautiful yet dangerous lies."It has never been me, Cypril!" I yelled, my voice trembling with anger as I forcefully removed his hands from my shoulders.The moment his touch disappeared, I took a step backward, putting some distance between us."I am not blind," I continued firmly. "And neither are the people in the pack."My chest rose and fell rapidly as I struggled t

    Melissa.The sharp crack split the air the moment I stepped into the perimeter of the dungeon, and I knew that sound too well. It was the unmistakable snap of a whip slicing through space before meeting flesh. My breath hitched instantly, my feet slowing on instinct as dread crawled up my spine.I

    MELISSA.I kept running, my feet pounding hard against the cold stone floor as I forced myself not to look back. Looking back meant hesitation, and hesitation could cost me everything. My hands shook as I pulled the black scarf tighter around my head, wrapping it securely, hiding my face as best as

    Melissa.My legs weakened in defeat as he claimed my lips, his mouth pressing against mine with a bruising hunger that felt like punishment rather than desire. Every ounce of that kiss carried frustration, rage, and ownership. It flooded my senses, smothering what little strength I had left. My arm
