A Mate To Three Alpha Heirs

{Elira}

~**^**~

The walk to the dining hall felt heavier tonight.

My mind was still tangled in the earlier promise of change — the new lessons, the hope of ESA. And then... Regina.

She just had to show up now, to unearth my nerves.

When I stepped into the dining hall, Alpha Cyprus and the brothers had just arrived, too.

I dipped my head and greeted them softly.

Alpha Cyprus answered with his usual calm warmth, but something in his gaze felt clouded, like a quiet storm behind kind eyes.

And the triplets... Lennon’s brows were faintly furrowed; Rennon’s calm felt strained, and Zenon... well, Zenon had never once looked happy since I came here.

We all took our seats. The empty chairs beside me felt like gaps that could swallow air — until footsteps and laughter spilt into the room.

I lifted my head just in time to see Luna Gwenith walk in, a soft smile on her lips. And beside her was Regina.
