Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 29: Ceremony

Chapter 29: Ceremony

Olivia's POV

I sat before the dressing mirror, combing my hair, but my thoughts kept wandering. I couldn't get my mind off the kisses I shared with Louis in the woods and Lennox in my room. I knew I shouldn't think about it—that I should take my mind off it—but I couldn't. The memories wouldn't fade, and my wolf kept purring softly in my head, making it impossible to wipe them away.

A soft knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Come in," I said.

The door opened, and the two new maids the triplets had assigned to me walked in. Unlike the others, they seemed respectful—perhaps because they had only recently been employed.

"Good morning, Luna," they greeted with a bow, and I forced the best smile I could manage. These days, I had almost forgotten how to smile.

"Luna, we're here to prepare you for the ceremony. It's almost starting," Nora, the younger maid with short blonde hair, said.

I turned away from the window, confusion evident on my face. "A ceremony?" I asked.

"Yes," Lolita, the older maid with curly black hair, replied, swallowing hard. I could see the hesitation in her eyes, like she was struggling to say what needed to be said. After a moment, she spoke, her voice low and uneasy. "Today, the Alphas are taking Miss Anita as their concubine."

I froze, my fingers gripping the comb tightly as Lolita's words sank in. So soon? The triplets were really doing it? They couldn't even give it time—they were taking Anita as their concubine just three days after our marriage?

My wolf let out a furious growl in my head, and I clenched my jaw to keep from letting the sound slip out. My chest ached, and my hands trembled slightly, but I forced myself to remain composed.
