Ayla's POV

The room emptied slowly.

The nurse left first, her quiet "rest" hanging in the air behind her like something meant to hold. The door closed with a soft click—the end of one kind of chaos, the beginning of another kind of quiet.

My hand was still in Ryker's. Neither of us moved to change that.

His thumb traced slow loops over my knuckles—unhurried, undemanding. A language that didn't need words and wasn't asking for any.

  • The Triplets' Silent Mate   Chapter 48 — Aftermath

    Ayla's POVThe room emptied slowly.The nurse left first, her quiet "rest" hanging in the air behind her like something meant to hold. The door closed with a soft click—the end of one kind of chaos, the beginning of another kind of quiet.My hand was still in Ryker's. Neither of us moved to change that.His thumb traced slow loops over my knuckles—unhurried, undemanding. A language that didn't need words and wasn't asking for any.Kael stood against the far wall, arms crossed, having watched the nurse work without speaking. I could feel his anger through the bond—controlled, buried beneath layers of composure, but burning underneath all of it. He remained steady, cold, and patient, a demeanor that was more frightening than heat.Soren stood beside him, rolling his shoulders once, the tension in his frame fully refusing to release. More contained than Ryker. Already thinking three steps ahead — I could feel it in the f

  • The Triplets' Silent Mate   Chapter 47 — Held

    Ayla's POVI didn't remember when he picked me up.One moment I was against the wall, and then I was here and held against his chest, the world moving past at the edges of my vision while his heartbeat filled my ear. Loud. Real. Steadier than anything else.I didn't move. Too sore for that. I just listened to it—to the life in it—and tried to stay inside that sound instead of anywhere else."I've got you," Ryker said.The words reached me late, like sound traveling through water. My mind caught them and held them tight."About time someone carried you for a change," Tala said softly. No sharpness in it. Just quiet.Then the memory hit.My body tensed before my mind caught up with why.A hand around my arm from behind, hard, no warning, yanking me sideways into the locker room. The door slammed shut. The sound of it final and total.I looked up.Troy.My stomach dropped so fast it took my

  • The Triplets' Silent Mate   Chapter 46 — Too Late

    Ryker's POV"Coach Jackson, you wanted to see us," Kael said as we filed into the small sports office at the end of the building."Yeah, get in here, boys." The coach waved us toward the chairs. "Have a seat."We sat. Coach started talking about the upcoming game, training schedules, and formation changes. I heard maybe a third of it.Duke shifted inside me, restless and low. A cold feeling crawled down my back.Through the window, I could see students streaming out of the building. School was ending."Ayla is waiting," Duke said."She'll be fine for a few minutes," I told him.Coach kept talking. The longer he went, the tighter the coil in my chest wound. My knee bounced under the chair, a restless energy with nowhere to land."Something feels wrong," Duke said, his attention pulling sharply toward the far side of the building.I lost the thread of what Coach was saying entirely. My eyes stayed on the window, on the emptying grounds, on the cold sensation twisting deeper in my gut wi

  • The Triplets' Silent Mate   Chapter 45 — After

    Ayla's POVThe hallway felt different when we stepped back into it.Quieter, but not empty. Never empty here.I walked between them, the space around me careful and unspoken, a buffer that none of us acknowledged but all of us maintained, like we were each afraid of what would happen if it broke.Eyes found us immediately. Some looked openly, others tried not to, and a few didn't bother pretending. Stares dug into my skin like cold pinpricks, the hunger of people wanting a story they hadn't earned. Whispers followed in our wake — low and quick, slipping into the cracks before I could close them.I kept my eyes forward. One foot, then the next. The scrape of shoes on tile. Rhythm over everything else.We turned the corner, and Ryker was there.Waiting near the stairwell with the coiled stillness of a storm that hadn't decided where to land yet. His eyes found us immediately—found me—then dropped to my clothes. The new ones. The ones that weren't covered in sauce and humiliation.The ai

  • The Triplets' Silent Mate   Chapter 44 — Control

    Kael's POVI felt it before I walked in. The drop in temperature that had nothing to do with the weather, the kind that meant a room full of people had collectively decided to hold their breath. I pushed through the cafeteria doors, and my gaze found Ayla in under a second.She was sitting exactly where she'd been left.Sauce drying on her cheek. Spaghetti sliding from her hair in slow, deliberate humiliation. Steam still curled from the mess spread across the table and the floor around her feet.Everyone else was frozen, staring. The whole cafeteria was watching.And Ayla sat in the center of it like none of it touched her. Hands flat on the table. Back straight. Face blank and still as carved stone.A chill moved through me, deep and cold, settling in the pit of my stomach.I forced my breathing level. Locked my anger down hard.Soren stepped in beside me a half-second later, and I felt the moment he registered it. The sharp intake of breath he didn't quite manage to suppress, the w

  • The Triplets' Silent Mate   Chapter 43 — Corners

    Ayla's POVSchool felt tighter today.Not louder — just closer. Like the walls had crept in overnight, squeezing the air from the hallways, from my lungs, and from the space between my shoulders where tension had taken up permanent residence.My skin prickled with the weight of too many bodies, too many eyes that lingered a beat too long. I kept moving, head down, bag pressed against my side, steps measured. Just another student. Just passing through.Between classes the hallway filled fast.Bodies crowded in from every direction, a tide I couldn't fight. Noise erupted around me: laughter, shouts, and the sharp slam of lockers cutting through everything else. I pressed to the edge, waiting for a gap to open so I could slip through.Almost.Then the impact, hard and sudden, my shoulder slamming into the lockers with enough force to send a shock down to my fingertips. Metal biting through my sleeve. The world narrowed instantly to the ache in my arm and the ringing in my ears.I caught

  • The Triplets' Silent Mate   Chapter 1 – The Girl No One Sees

    Ayla’s POVSnow falls in a slow, quiet drift all around me—not in the kind of way that makes it look magical.It just looks endless, a dull color of white and cold. It settles over everything—the trees, the ground, rooftops—as if trying to cover things up. As if, if it piles high enough, no one will
