Bound to the Triplet Alphas

LUCIEN POV

The old book burned my hands.

I dropped it on the stone floor of the hidden library so quickly, with my heart pounding. My hands smoking from the magical fire that had erupted from its pages. The pain shot up my arms so fast like lightning, but I barely noticed. What I’d just read changed everything.

"There’s another way," I whispered to the empty room, with a mysterious glint in my eyes.

I’d been searching through the Elder Council’s secret files for three hours, ever since their message reached us. The Ancient Pact. The condition for all supernatural leaders to die. The horrible truth that we’d have to be killed by the people we loved the most; the same people we are mated to.

But buried in this lost book, I’d found something else; something that changes everything completely. It is a modification to the Pact that the Elders had never found.

I picked up the book again, ignoring the burning feeling in my hands. The words on the page glowed with ancient power: "The Pact may be altered by one who carries the blood of three, but only through the severing of bonds that cannot be remade."

Three families. I had them. Alpha blood from my father, Beta blood from my mother’s secret lineage, and something else—something no one else knew, not even my parent. I stumbled upon the knowledge by chance. Witch blood from my great-grandmother, hidden for generations.

The triplet tie I shared with Kael and Jaxon had always made me different. Stronger. But also more exposed. The bond linked our souls, our magic, our very lives.

And according to this book, breaking that link was the key to saving everyone.

I heard footsteps running down the hallway. Someone was coming to the library.

"Lucien!" Aria’s voice bounced off the stone walls. "Lucien, where are you?"
