Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 427: She Took Everything

Selene’s POV

Frederick frowned. "I have no idea what's wrong with you," he spat as he rose from the bed and swiftly pulled on

his clothes. Where | stood, | turned away, my wolf howling inside my head for him, but | ignored her and kept my

eyes fixed elsewhere. When the door finally slammed shut behind him, | released a shaky breath | hadn't realized

| was holding. | told myself this wouldn't happen again. | told myself | was in control. But the fire he lit inside

me... | hated it. | hated him. And most of all, | hated myself for giving in.

Before | could steady my racing heart, a sharp voice cut through my head.

"Selene."

| froze. The mind link. The triplets.

"We hope you're not trying to betray us."

The words landed heavy in my mind, my frown deepened. Betray them? Why would they even think that? Of

course, they didn’t trust me, not when their precious mate must have soiled my nto them. My frown

deepened. | hated her. | hated her perfect life.

We shared the sbloodline—both of us great-granddaughters of Hailee, yet it was her who was chosen. She

was given the special abilities. She was marked by fate, adored by everyone, worshipped even. And me? | was

left in her shadow, forgotten.

And if that wasn’t enough, she had them. The triplets. Three powerful Alphas who would tear the world apart just

to protect her.

All of that should have been mine.

The abilities. The power. The love.

But the Moon Goddess handed it all to her, like she was worthy of everything and | was worthy of nothing.

When | was little, | showed signs of something rare. | could mix herbs and make remedies. | could cure fevers,

heal wounds that should have taken weeks, even ease the pain of a wolf's shifting.

Father saw it.

He had always been obsessed with the prophecy—the one that spoke of Hailee’s bloodline, of a great-

granddaughter chosen by the Moon Goddess to rise above all others. So when | displayed my gift, he thought it

was me. He looked atwith pride. With admiration. With love.

For a while, | believed it too.

He treatedso well. Better than anyone else. | was his star, his chosen. His voice softened when he spoke to

me. He told the pack | was special. The one destined to change everything.

| basked in it. | clung to it. Because for once, | wasn’t invisible.

But then... everything changed.

As | grew older, the truth becclearer. My gift was rare, yes—but it wasn’t the power. It wasn’t the fulfillment

of the prophecy. | wasn’t the chosen one.

It was her.

Olivia.

The other great-granddaughter of Hailee.

The day Father realized, | felt it. His eyes onchanged. They no longer shone with pride—they grew cold. The

warmth vanished. The special meals, the words of encouragement, the hand resting proudly on my shoulder... all

of it disappeared.

And just like that, | was nothing again.

The pack whispered about Olivia even though they had never seen her. | overheard mocking whispers—how |

wasn’t worthy enough, so the Moon Goddess had granted another... a female younger than me. In our pack,

Olivia beca subject of reverence even though they never met her, never laid eyes on her. She had done

nothing for them, while I, the one healing them with herbs and remedies, becthe mistake. | becthe

other great-granddaughter.

My wolf growled low inside me, the pain of those memories clawing at my chest.

That was the day | learned to hate her.

Not just because she took my father’s and the pack’s admiration. Not just because she was chosen. But because

she had everything | had once dreamed of—everything | believed belonged to me.

The abilities.

The power.

The love.

All of it... hers.

And mine?

Nothing.

| let out a slow breath and pushed back against the link. "You think I'm betraying you?" | sneered.

There was a long pause. Then Lennox’s sharp voice cthrough. "You have been acting strange. Why should

we trust you?"

| smiled, but it was a small, hard smile. "Do you think | chere to make friends?" | answered. "Do you think

I'm cozying up to him because | fell in love with him?"

"No," Louis said, suspicious. "Then what?"

"For the sreason you broughtin," | said, and my words were slow so they could not twist them.

"Revenge. A chance to take what was stolen from my family." | let that settle in their minds. "You forget one

thing. I did not chere because you three askedto. | cbecause | want him dead—because he took

fromwhat he had no right to take."

Levi's voice hummed in my head. "So why flirt? Why act like you are into him?"

"Because to get close to him | had to be close," | said plainly. "Because if he smells a trap too early, we fail. If |

act distant, he will never drink my blood. If | act warm, he trustsmore. That is the plan. Have you forgotten

the plan?"

Silence answeredfor a moment. Then Lennox warned, "We will be watching."

"Good," | said. "Watch. But don’t think I'm here for you. | am here for myself. To avenge my mother’s death." My

wolf snarled in my bones, torn between my revenge and the mate bond.

"If you think I will betray you," | added, voice low, "then you can cdo it yourself. | am your weapon. Treat me

like one, or | will remind you why you needed me."

The link went quiet again. | could feel their minds circling, trying to decide if they trusted me. It was easy to tell |

had rattled them.

| didn’t let them speak as | ended the mind link and sucked in a deep breath, feeling exhausted and worn out

from the pleasurable sex. | collapsed on the bed, closed my eyes, and covered myself with the blanket. I rolled

onto my side, curling under the blanket. My body still hummed with the leftover heat of what had just happened,

but my mind was restless.

I hated him.

| hated myself more.

And yet, when | closed my eyes, the picture that ctowasn’t of my mother, or of my father’s cold face. It

was of him.

Lord Frederick.

My fingers curled in the sheets as my mind betrayed me, conjuring images | had no business thinking about—his

mouth, his hands, the way his body moved against mine.

| squeezed my eyes shut. No. Stop it.

This was the enemy. This was the man | was meant to destroy.

But the images kept coming, hotter, deeper.

And then—

A sharp sound snappedback to reality.

Loud voices downstairs.

| sat up quickly, my wolf pricking her ears. The murmur rose into shouting, then broke off, replaced by the thud

of footsteps. Something was happening.

| pushed the blanket off, swinging my legs over the edge of the bed. My heart pounded, the haze of my fantasies

scattering like smoke.

"What's happening?" | muttered under my breath, moving toward the door.
