โLennoxโฆโ I moaned, my voice barely a whisper, yet laced with desire.
Warm hands slid up my thighs, spreading heat in their wake. My skin tingled, hypersensitive, as soft lips brushed over my collarbone, followed by another mouth pressing reverently against my wrist. Every touch was precise, worshipful. I gasped as a hand tangled in my hair, pulling my head gently back, exposing my throat.
A low growl sounded in my ear, unmistakably Louis. โYouโre ours, Olivia.โ
My heart fluttered wildly as Levi kissed down my stomach, his tongue leaving a trail of fire. Lennoxโs voice, deeper and darker, hovered just above mine. โSay our names again, little mate.โ
I whimpered, my body arching. Fingers gripped my hips, holding me steady as the triplets took turns driving me insane. Each sensation was overwhelmingโLennoxโs mouth against my pulse, Louisโs hands kneading my thighs, Leviโs teeth scraping lightly against my ear.
It was too much. Too good. My entire body trembled as wave after wave of pleasure coiled tightly inside me. โLennoxโฆ Louisโฆ Leviโฆโ I breathed, lost in them.
Then, a sudden chill. I blinked. The ceiling above me came into view. My breath caught in my throat.
I was in my bed, in my room. The scent of pine and musk still lingered faintly in the air, a cruel reminder, but the warmthโtheir touchโwas gone.
I sat up, my heart pounding. And froze.
All three of themโLennox, Levi, and Louisโstood at the edge of my bed, eyes wide, brows furrowed with concern. They must have heard me. My cheeks flamed with embarrassment.
Oh, Moon Goddess. They heard me moan their names.
For a moment, none of us spoke until Levi broke the silence. โHow is your head?โ he asked.
My brow furrowed, and I remembered what had happened. I remembered hearing loud voices, walking back into the study, and finding Levi and Louis fighting. I remembered being scared they would hurt each other, stupidly trying to separate them, and getting struck by both. That was the last thing I remembered. It seems I went unconscious.
I looked at the three of them, narrowing my eyes. They seemed worried, eager for my response. I was fineโฆ although I still felt a slight headache from the impact of their blows, but I was fine.
I looked at them, and a silly idea came into my head. I tilted my head. โWhereโs my husband?โ
The room froze. Their expressions shifted instantlyโas if I had slapped each of them. Louisโs brows knitted together, Lennoxโs arms dropped to his sides, and Leviโs jaw clenched so hard I heard it crack.
โWhat?โ Lennox said, his voice low and dark.
โI asked where my husband is,โ I blinked slowly, my tone soft but insistent. โGabrielโฆ where is he?โ
โYouโre joking,โ Levi said tightly, his frown deepening. โTell me youโre joking.โ
I gave them a confused look, pulling the blanket tighter around myself. โWhy would I joke about that? Heโs my mate. My husband. Heโll be worried about me.โ
Lennox stepped forward, fire burning behind his eyes. โYouโre not mated to that bastard.โ
I flinched at the harshness of his voice, acting scared.
Louis held out a hand to stop his brother. โShe hit her head, Lennox. Sheโsโmaybe sheโs disoriented.โ
โIโm not disoriented!โ I snapped, my voice sharp and desperate. โI donโt know who you areโฆ any of you. But I know Gabriel. I need to get back to him.โ
Louisโs face turned ashen. Levi turned away, running a hand through his hair, as if disbelieving what he was hearing. Lennox looked like he was barely holding himself back from punching a wall.
A tense silence settled over the room, thick and suffocating.
Then I whispered, โPleaseโฆ just take me home.โ
None of them spoke. This was getting interesting.
I kept my expression wide-eyed and confused, trying not to smirk as I watched their reactions spiral from confusion to disbelief, then rage.
โGabriel always made me tea when I had headaches,โ I murmured wistfully, pressing a hand to my temple for dramatic effect. โHe used to hum this silly songโฆ something about the Moon and her warrior. Do you know it?โ
โOlivia,โ Levi growled, his voice thick with warning. โThis isnโt funny.โ
โWhatโs funny?โ I looked him dead in the eye, tilting my head like I was studying a stranger. โWho are you again?โ
Leviโs nostrils flared. โUnbelievable,โ Lennox muttered, pacing the room, his hands balled into fists.
Louis, the calmest of them, crouched beside the bed. โOlivia, itโs us. Lennox. Levi. MeโLouis.โ His voice was gentle, coaxing. โYouโre our mate. Youโve never been mated to Gabriel.โ
I widened my eyes innocently. โI think I would remember being mated to triplets. That soundsโฆ excessive.โ
Louis blinked. Levi cursed under his breath. Lennox snapped. โOlivia, there is no Gabriel.โ
My lips twitched. It was getting harder to hold back my grin.
โI think you have me confused with someone else,โ I said sweetly. โIโm Luna of the Shadow Pack. Gabrielโs Luna.โ
โYou are our Luna,โ Louis hissed, his composure beginning to crack. โOur mate.โ
โIโm not!โ I yelled, staring at them with frightened eyes. I acted like they were frightening me.
โTell me, are you men Gabrielโs enemies? Did you kidnap me?โ I asked, sounding terrified, my eyes already filled with convincing tears.
โI want to go home,โ I whispered again, letting my lower lip tremble.
Levi dragged a hand down his face and turned away with a groan. Lennox swore and punched the wall so hard I heard the wood crack.
I pressed my hand to my heart and took a shaky breath. โWhat do you want from me? Money? My packโs loyalty? Did Gabriel do something to you?โ
They all snapped their eyes back to me at once. I recoiled dramatically, as if their stares scared me. โPlease donโt hurt me. If you let me go, I wonโt say anything to anyone.โ
โOlivia, stop it,โ Louis pleaded, his voice breaking. โYou know us. You know me. Donโt play games like this. Itโs cruel.โ
I blinked, acting confused and scared. โIs that your name? Louis?โ I glanced between them. โAnd you twoโLennox and Levi? Are you brothers?โ Lennox cursed again, storming away from the bed. โSheโs messing with us.โ
โSheโs not,โ Levi muttered, eyes narrowed on me. โWe hit her head hard. She thinks this is real.โ
Oh, if only they knew.
I almost smiledโbut I didnโt. Not yet. Not until I was done.
โIโm not lying,โ I said, letting my voice break into a sob. โYou kidnapped me. Youโre trying to make me believe something that isnโt true. I just want to go home to my mate.โ
Then I buried my face in my hands and began to cry. Fake tears, of courseโbut convincing. Iโd always been a good actress.
Suddenly, the door pushed open, and I lifted my head to see a healer walking in.
Shit!
