Bonded to Her Triple Alphas

97

Kaya’s POV.

“Kaya,” my ears pick up on eerie voices, sinking into my head. A furrow wrestles on my face as I awaken to reality, and suddenly, I gasp when I feel the intensity of the voices when they call again. “Kaya.”

My head snaps to the front, and there are three women at the end of the bed. They are in robes with the hood covering their faces, so I have no way of knowing if I recognize them or not.

That aside, the aura they release sends chills down my spine, shaking me to my very core.

“Who are you?” I ask with the nerves around my neck poking out.

The women speak with raspy voices, an intent of darkness lurking behind each word. “You have seen our presence, great witch, because you made yourself come to our attention. Await your doom, for we shall come for you. And we do; the curse shall be back. You haven’t paid the right price, and we shall come for what is ours.”

“Who are you? What do you want?” Although they dress entirely black, at the left chest area of their robes, I see a mark there, one that I have seen before.

My brain reels deep to recall it, and then, my eyes widen as I gasp even louder. “You’re the witches who curse the triplets.” They are the witches who misused the old religion and made nature ban it until my mother held its power.

And to make an evaluation, I did come to the conclusion that, because of them, my powers took a long time before they showed themselves. Because of them, I suffered.

“You are evil. You spoiled the faces of witches in this world. You destroyed our trust in nature. I’d be damned to allow you to reign.” I shout at them, disregarding the fact that my body is quivering on the inside in fear of what these witches can do.

Although I am not as scared of them because I’ve been able to reverse their curse on the triplets through the intimacy we shared the previous night, I am definitely sure I can fight back.

“Count your days, young witch.”

“We shall see.” I dare, staring directly into the hood, even though I am unable to see their faces. Then, I speak, “me ad vitam revoca.”

Instantly, gravity ruffles the entire atmosphere, an invisible breeze blows at my face, sprawling my hair, and I open my eyes back to reality.

Kade is directly in front of me, waving his hand, while Kyle is shaking my shoulders. “Oh, fuck, I think she’s having a lucid dream.”

Kade snaps to his left, at Kieran, “hurry with the water, Kieran.”

Then, blinking repeatedly, as I regain myself, I glare at them. “I didn’t know you cared this much.” My tone is playful, and Kyle huffs, poofing the air onto my face.

“You were talking in your dream, Kaya.” For a second, when Kade complains, I want to tell them what I saw, but then, I keep my mouth shut, as I am not sure of what those three witches mean.

I remember the dream intricately. Something lingers in their presence, a sort of power that I could feel in its brilliance. It scares me at the realization that they must be very powerful, and I’m left to wonder why they have come for me.

I thought the witches were destroyed by Chester, according to all that I’ve learned, and if they were present all this time, why haven’t they destroyed the triplets until now?

A ringing sparks into my head all of a sudden, and I take a sharp look at each of the men before me. Kade, Kyle, and Kieran are still gazing into my eyes, watching with a stunned demeanour.

“You are alive! It worked. You’re alive.” My voice heightens in the air, hitting the triplets hard in their ears, and before they know it, I pull the three of them close to me.

The relief inside me instantly made me forget about the dream.

“That’s right…” Kade’s voice trails off as he stares down at his hands and thighs before he and his brothers exchange a long gawk contest.

“We are freakishly alive. How did it happen? Today, we mark thirty. We are supposed to die.” Kade questions with utter disbelief. It always surprises me when he gasps, seeing as he forgets that he is the collective and calculating one.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Wait, I don’t understand. All we really had to do all this time was do the mating ceremony and fuck Kaya?” Kyle makes an ouch sound when I beat him on the arm. “Do you ever use plain words?” I take a break before I add, “I planted a protective spell, but yes, what really broke the enchantment was love. It wasn’t sex, dollop-head,” my eyes dart over to Kyle, who chuckles.

“Dollop-head. Now, that’s hilarious.”

Kade helps me alight the bed when I trip, and I mouth a thank you. My hands are tightly brawling into a fist, and my legs feel like jelly. I can feel a weakness in my stomach, as though I cannot entirely connect with my energy, but I don’t pay much attention, as in my mind, I assume it is just the protective shield. It must have taken much of my energy, anyway.

“We hadn’t prepared anything for the celebration today. We thought it was going to be the end for us. There’s nothing I can say, Kaya, but thank you. You changed…” I place my index finger on Kade’s lips, halting him from continuing his words.

“You really need to stop all the accolades. I appreciate it, but yeah, I know my worth. And I know how much you appreciate me.” I tell him, and he nods.

“Yes, surely, you do.”

My legs take a couple of steps to the middle of the room, as my finger places itself under my jaw. “So, we should think. What surprise can we still make come true today?”

As I ask, blackness surges past my vision like a flash or something of the sort. I can’t control my body anymore, and I fall to the ground. The last thing I remember is the ray of the sun reflecting into the room.

When my eyes open and I try to sit up, Pete’s hand stops me from doing so, and at the same time, he speaks. “Your highness, you still need to rest more.”

“What happened?” I ask as my vision comes to accommodate his frame. “How long was I asleep?”

“Long enough for me to understand where your weakness comes from.” Pete flashes a smile at me, then he states, “I’ll leave you to take care of her for me. She’s all right. All she needs is more rest, and she’s back to normal.”

As Pete walks out of the room, I sit up, disregarding his clinical advice, and face the triplets. Kade is the first to wrap me in his body scent, filling my nostrils with the fragrance of the fresh forest and a fruity smell that I can’t really define but smells sweet. “We have enough surprises for the day, Kaya.”

“What’s that?”

“You carry a child again. Maybe, who knows. It could be a twin like the last time.” Kade stops out of the blue when he sees the change in my eyes.

Tears brim the surface before I snatch my hands back to my stomach while I fight to hold back from sobbing. “I can’t. There’s no way…”

Unable to bring myself to spill the words, Kade stands up and says. “Fuck this. Kyle helped to prepare something, and I think you will love it. Come on.” Kyle hums a scoff in response.

Having cleaned my tears, Kade carries me in a bridal style out of the room. We continue moving with Kyle and Kieran behind us, their hands rooted into their pockets.

Within the next couple of minutes, we are outside the castle on a street surrounded by woods on either side.

Then, finally, the carriage stops, and Kade carries me once again up the valley until a small cabin-like building appears. It’s small, elegant, beautiful, and astounding in its creativity.

I have never seen such a building before. It’s rectangular in shape and made entirely out of reflective glass instead of timber.

I can see inside from outside, and every piece of furniture is painted white. It makes everything look so fantastic and magical-nothing that anyone has ever made before, nothing that I have ever seen or heard of before.

My eyes fixate on Kyle, “how did you come up with this?”

“When it comes to impressing my lady, I have a lot of ideas. That’s basically what I’m built for.” He sounds solid.

“Idiot.” Sort of like a murmur, Kieran chimes in.

“From henceforth, this place shall be our sanctuary. I’m sure you’d love it.”

Picturesquely pleasing to the eye.

“Well, let’s get inside already.” I’m already soaked with thrills, and the brothers chuckle, as we head inside.
