Bonded to Her Triple Alphas

Kaya's POV.

"Good morning, sister!" The door barges open, and my ears pick up the sound of someone's footsteps stomping into the room.

I can't be more annoyed until the blankets fly away from my body. My hands are still rubbing my eyelids as I rise halfway up.

"Wake up!" screams William's voice again, and my eyes snap open this time around.

"What is wrong with you?" I shout at him as my brows furrow together in annoyance at his deep-rooted voice. "It's very early in the morning, and you're annoying me already."

Today is supposed to be a beautiful morning, until he decides to ruin it.

He crosses his arms and looks away, which makes me shake my head at him and finally get out of bed.

"Well, maybe if your father wasn't destroying the whole room, I wouldn't have come in here to disturb you. Don't you have some witchery thing to say to him to make him stop?" He informs me, and I groan inwardly.

"Our father."

"Didn't you hear the other things I said?" His morning voice is the worst-croaky and gross.

I am now seated on my dresser, and my ocean blue eyes dart over to his reflection as my lips twitch in a curl.

"You know, I'm starting to think maybe you're just jealous." As I begin, the skin on his forehead wrinkles. "You know, you're jealous over the fact that our father, even though he's a human, has a lot of intelligence, and our beloved late mother was a witch who could do powerful things with just her mind, and well, here I am, too, born as a witch. But you're there, having taken Father's gene, yet you've got no brain cells for intelligence or innovation. It's such a pity now that I think of it."

I smile when I finish packing my long, dark hair into a ponytail. I know that he will be mad, and he is indeed.

He used to be the one who annoys me so much by insulting me about my inability to grasp my witch powers yet, and this is just my payback.

Even though I haven't been able to reach those powers, however, I have read lots of spells in my mother's book, and I've learned many ways to make herbs from the woods not far from this cottage.

Williams and I walk outside, and when I reach the dining room, I stop there to pick up a piece of bread and, with my fingers, slowly break it into crumbs that I chew lightly.

"See the ruins." He tells me as he shifts to the left, away from my sight, so I can see father.

"Oh, goodness." My eyes wander around to see what the living area has become. "Father." My tone is one of questioning with a hint of curiosity about what he could be creating with his technology, as he likes to call them to have destroyed the furniture.

"Kaya, you're here. You won't believe it." As he climbs down from a ladder, he comes to grab both my shoulders and glare into my eyes. My eyeballs pop in shock. "I had a dream overnight. I saw a new age. I'm going to make something that I shall name radio. It's going to be the dawn of a new age."

"I think you need to rest." I shift my gaze to Williams, who's behind father, and he shrugs his shoulders at me. It made me roll my eyes.

"Nonsense. I am fine. I woke up healthier than ever before. It's going to be born out of transmission. It's going to be lit with a mixture of lightning in the form of what I call electricity and another entity, a powerful material from nature that attracts both the north pole and south pole together. Something I name magnet." His face is so lit up, I could tell he hasn't been this happy in ages.

I take a deep breath and tsk at him. "I don't know about this, but you're destroying the house."

Just as I finished talking, something gurgled in the machine, and father went straight to touch it right before a small explosion occurred.

"Father!" Both Williams and I ran over to him.

There's a cut in his wrist, and it's close to his veins.

"I'll go and get some herbs for him. Keep him safe." I tell Williams before I get out of the house.

The cottage rests on a valley, which gives it the most beautiful view, and again, today, I am mesmerized. I watch as the sun beams into the mountains in the far distance, giving them a wonderful scenery, and the greenery that the woods provide not only causes me to awe every time but to praise nature as well.

I dive into the woods, and once I see the herbs I need, my thoughts drift me into the past.

The world has always hated witches, and that was because of the werewolves. They change the mentality of their followers, making them think that we are nothing but evil. Just because they can't understand how our powers work doesn't mean that we want to hurt people, but it is futile to explain.

I was ten when my mother died in the cause of protecting us when we were rooted out by one of the villagers, and father brought us here to this outskirt, far away from where anyone could come looking for us.

For another ten years, we've been staying here and living fine.

I grew up to be a witch, and Williams is a human just like father. And even though father never let me learn what it means to be a witch, he didn't stop me from gaining the knowledge. Williams, too, on the other hand, never felt cheated, which made him the best brother ever.

"Oh, I've been here for a while." I smack my own forehead and turn to head back to the valley, but my feet halt.

That didn't happen with my consent. I look down to the ground and see a root tearing out of the ground to hold onto my feet.

"Strange." I think to myself and untangle the root before I continue walking.

A few seconds later, another root stops me in my tracks.

"Is the wood trying to tell me something by stopping me?" My voice is audible, and I am talking to myself yet again.

I release a hum, my lips tugging downward as I bat my eyes around, before I finally proceed to leave.

A smile creeps up my face at the thought of what happened earlier. Maybe, alas, I can communicate with nature.

Walking up the valley, a growl pierces my ears.

Werewolves.

Oh, no.

In a haste, I hide behind the rocks and watch as a guard drags father and my brother out of the cottage.

In my mind, a train of thoughts wheel past. My heart is thumping hard, and my eyes are brimming with tears. I have no idea what they could do to them, but if there's one thing father has always prepared us to have in mind, it's to always stay hidden when that day comes when he gets taken by these monstrous beasts.

Father grunts as they throw him into the mud while Williams is locked on his knees.

"Where is the witch? Where have you hidden her?" The guard asks, and my hands clutch my mouth.

Are they looking for me?

How did they know who I was when I've never practiced witchcraft before, except for the knowledge that I have?

"There's none here." Father says with a breezy voice.

One of the other guards behind the huge one comes to speak. "Sir, they are lying. Our source confirms that she lives here."

"Where is she?" The huge guard asks again, this time low and dangerous.

His tone is menacing. I swear, my soul jumped out of me for a second.

"You will never find her, you beast." Williams blurts out, flaring his eyes at the guard.

"So, she is alive then. Men, I've got a witch to find as it is. Kill these ones." Says the huge guard, who seems to be their leader.

My mind wants me to release myself so they can live, but my body remains hooked. I don't know what to do.

I lost it all within the blink of an eye when Williams heart got punged by a dagger out of the blue. His eyes pop out in shock at it, and his body loses its sense of control before it falls to the ground.

"No!" I couldn't help but scream and run towards the guards. I have no idea what I can do, but I know I am angry and burning inside of me.

At the same time, father's heart too met the same fate. They killed both of them.

My eyes bleed as I watch them fall to the ground.

"No." My voice is little. "NO!" My voice grows, and I cast, "I command the wind to crush your lungs."

But it didn't work.

I am powerless.

I couldn't save them.

My tears run free as the guards pick me by both arms before one of them hit me on the forehead, and I lost my consciousness.

Kaya's POV.

The smell of their fresh blood in mud...the sound of their screams...the look of shock in their eyes...the unbearable pain of a dagger piercing their heart...the welcoming of death!

"No!" I recall my own scream of shock, and right before the guards take me away.

Wait, the guards took me!

My eyes snap open, and my eyes shift around the dark space that I'm in. I can sense I'm sitting on metal space, which gave me the hint that I'm in a cage of some sort and my hands are tied with a rope.

My heart is spiking heavily as I think of what is to happen to me. I've never been so sure in my life that I can't die. I have to avenge the deaths of my father and brother.

Out of the blue, the noisy movement stopped, and one of the guards opened the back, sending in rays of heavy beams of light.

It hurts my eyes that I snapped it close for a minute.

I am inside a carriage, but before my brain can decipher the other things happening, the guards pick me up and throw me to the ground.

"Argh..." My throat released a grunt from scraping my knees. They don't care, but they hold me back on my feet and begin to force me to move.

"No, where are you taking me? Tell me!" My voice is high-pitched, and their leader suddenly grabs me by my hair and pushes it downwards so that I can look into his eyes.

"You're lucky that you aren't dead like that wretched father of yours, and that's because we've got orders. So, shut up, or that beautiful face of yours won't save you anymore." His eyes shift away from me to look at the two other guards behind us, and he adds. "There's a festival held for Queen Mother Emilie in the kingdom. Take this cheap whore to the maids' quarters. They'd find a job for her there."

After nodding at their boss's order, they manhandle me and take me away. My mind is reeling from different thoughts. I want to understand what that guard meant, but everything seems coarse to me.

The adrenaline pumping into my blood is even blocking any sense that comes in.

After a while of walking through rooms, the guards finally stop in front of one, and one of them opens it before they walk me inside and remove the rope used to pin my hands together.

"Hey, you." They call a woman who looks to be in her forties, and from the way she's dressed, I can tell she's a maid.

"I have a name. It's Melissa, and I am the head of all the maids in the kingdom. I deserve respect." The woman fights as she crosses her arms over her chest, but the guards only find it sarcastic.

"Yeah. Yeah. Get a job for this new maid. She's a slave now." After the guards say, they walk away, leaving me alone in the room with the woman.

Her orbs keep gawking at me for a minute before she yells at the top of her lungs. "Well, go and get clean and dressed up. There's a bathroom down the room, and you'd find the maids' clothes in the dresser. I need a helping hand anyway. We'd know if you can do it."

My forehead wrinkles at all the events that have unfolded right in front of me without my having a say. I am a being who has rights, not a toy.

"No, I must get back home. My father and brother were just killed by those monsters. I must find their bodies and bury them. I'm not a maid." My voice is brisky as I glare at the maid, but her lips twitch to the side, and before I know it, her hand is in my throat, grasping tight.

"I don't know who the hell you are, but you do, as told here. Everybody does so. The only people here who control us are Queen Mother Emilie, Lord Jared, and the Triplets. Go and get ready, or you'd be finding them in your afterlife." The woman tells, leaving fear in me, and I hurry to do as told.

Melissa asks one of the maids to stay with me throughout the time I use to get dressed up. When I finish, I change into a gown that's got an apron stripped to it and stroking down my body.

Afterwards, the maid and I move to the kitchen, where Melissa says she needs me, and just as I get there and she sees me, she asks that I place a tray of food and follow her.

"Where are we going?" I ask when we reach a hallway. At the end of it, my senses pick up the sound of the crowds, but I don't pay attention to it.

"There's much you must learn. But if you want to live longer here, don't ask questions. Just..."

Before she can finish the sentences, I do. "do as told." I complete, and she nods her head.

"Smart of you."

And right after, the doormen let us inside a ballroom filled with...

My goodness.

My eyes widen at the sight before me. The enormous space of the ballroom is one that I have never seen but read about in books before. I am left stunned and with my jaw on the ground.

"This is beautiful." I catch sight of the decor laced with sandalwood and striped with gold materials.

"Don't gawk too much. Focus on your duty." Informs Melissa, and that's when it all died down inside me.

I'm in a room filled with werewolves, and they're all chattering and laughing like they didn't just cause the death of my family.

My jaw twitches, but not a second later, Melissa points to a distance and says, "There. That's where you're taking the food. Be at your best. Trust me, that's an advice you want to hold dear." And she leaves afterward.

My eyes scan each axis of the room, darting for any incoming danger as, wobbly, my legs take me further inside.

Melissa had pointed to the end of the room, where I saw a few young men chattering with heavy bags under their eyelids. I can tell they're drunk and feeling at the top.

I arrive there and bend my head in a bow. Maybe that would save me.

"Um, your order, sirs." My voice is like a whisper as I drop the tray and turn to leave when one of them grabs me by the elbow and pushes me back.

"You don't know who I am, do you?" He asks as his eyes bore into mine.

Batting my lashes at him, I make a hm-mh sound and shrug my shoulders. Is he a royal?

"Wow. I never knew it'd be rejuvenating to know someone doesn't fear me because they don't know me. You're a new maid, aren't you? And I'm sure you haven't gone through any training." It feels more like he's having fun.

Apart from my heart thumping at my throat, I find the man very handsome. He's got the youngster face, his black hair gelled to the back, beautiful hazel eyes that sparkle like the sunlight, and his milky, lightly tanned skin, mesmerizing to my sight.

His presence causes a different emotion inside me that isn't one of fear.

"Leave me alone!" My body suddenly feels threatened as I yank my elbow off of his clasping, and he chuckles.

Of course, he thinks I'm as weak as everybody else here thinks.

"There's no way I can do that, beautiful. My eyes are now on you." That is the last thing he tells me as I run away.

I have to get out of here.

Melissa isn't around, so scanning the room, I see that everyone is busy, so I hurry to the door, and when that is successful, I make my way down the hallway till there is no one around anymore.

My legs speed up the pace when I see a garden ahead, but then, just as I get to the end, my shoulder hits a figure that entered the hallway from the outside out of the blue. The person doesn't look back, so I couldn't see his face.

And then, getting to the end of the hallway, another figure appears to my left. Now, my mind isn't settled anymore. Something is off, but I can't tell what it is.

Then, to my right, as my face shifted there, I saw the man from the table earlier.

"My eyes are now on you."

His words hit me at the back of my head.

He gets closer. They all get closer. Are they going to kill me?

Ahead of me is the wall of the garden, where I could have escaped.

"Who are you?" I ask the question that's been bothering my mind ever since I met this young, mysterious man. The others freak me out as well.

In a flash, the one coming from my left drafts me to the wall of the hallway, where he has me pinned with his hand on my neck.

"I can't...breathe...stop!" His face is tainted with fury, and anger is boiling inside him.

"That's not the question. The question is, who are you? A witch?"

Oh, no! These are the triplets. I see their faces now. And if they know that I'm a witch, this is my end.

3RD POV.

The triplets and Kaya are in media.

Kyle's finger rakes through his hair as he releases a heavy breath.

His face is positioned earthward with his shoulders slouching, before he picks himself up and walks over to the small bar inside the room where there's alcohol.

Just as he pours himself a glass of gin, his brothers enter the room, and he groans.

"It's been almost thirty minutes since I called for the both of you." His voice is tight, showing that he is annoyed at their lateness.

Kieran scoffs before he snatches the drink from Kyle and says, "Come on, bro. Say what you have to say. I don't have much time. I've got to get back to mother's ceremony."

Kyle smacks his own forehead and shifts his gaze to Kade, who, on the other hand, has his hands inside his own pocket, looking at the both of them.

"All right. Fine. I know you guys would think that I'm crazy..."

"Hm-mh." Answers Kieran. He has never been the calming one.

Kyle shakes his head but continues. "But there's a witch in the kingdom."

Kieran scoffs and wants to leave, having waved his hand as a gesture that he's not interested in this rubbish of Kyle's.

"I mean it. She's new. She must be brought back here by one of the platoons that just arrived back in the kingdom." Kyle's eyes squint at his brothers.

"You're saying that there's a witch in this place that's full of werewolves. She would have been dead the moment she stepped inside here. I'm not in the mood for this." Kieran's patience is running thin as he taps his feet on the ground.

"Well, leave then since you're so insufferable to listen." Kyle says this and crosses his arms over his chest.

Kieran's facial expression changed, his brows coming to a knot and curving downward. In the next few minutes, he's in front of Kyle. "You just disrupted my plan to enjoy a feast by telling me what doesn't matter, and you think I'd be fine with it?"

"Won't you talk?" Kyle's face turns to Kade, who's found himself a seat on the northern side of the room.

"I need silence." He replies, his voice sounding nonchalant. "I'm trying to connect with the platoons, mind-linking to find the one who brought a witch to the palace." Then, his eyes shut for a second further.

Not a while longer, a guard walks inside and bows instantly at the triplets.

"Tell me, why did you bring a witch to the palace?" As Kade asks, he stands up and walks closer to the guard.

The guard turns his face to the ground and answers. "I mean, no worries, sire. I had received an order from Master Kyle to bring the most beautiful lady I could find to my quest..."

The guard shuts his mouth at Kade's order, who then turns to Kyle. "What is this about?"

The guard turns his face to the ground and answers. "I mean, no worries, sire. In my quest, I had received news from Master Kyle to bring along any beautiful girl I could find, so when I did find the girl, I didn't hesitate."

When the guard finishes speaking, Kade groans lightly and turns his eyes over to Kyle, who raises his hand in the air. "Don't you guys act innocent. We all need a new sex toy; those old mistresses are getting expired. You all know..."

Kyle's words stop mid-sentence when Kieran rushes over to where he is and pins him at the neck against the nearby wall.

"And you just had to use this trick on me. I'm not at fault that there's a witch in the kingdom."

"We have to spread out and find her. Where last have you seen her?" Asks Kade, his eyes narrowing at the guard.

"At the kitchen, master Kade. She was serving..."

"Then we go there first. Brothers, come with me." With Kade's calculative voice, Kyle and Kieran follow behind him.

Within a short time, they arrive at the kitchen and look around for the girl, but they can't find her. Kieran is already boiling inside him, impatient of when he'd have to kill the girl, as he's the mayhem-seeker amongst the brothers.

While Kyle would like to tease the witches with his cunning manners, Kieran would love to tear off their heads from their necks, and Kade would watch them perform their childish act.

"Do you know where she is?" Towering over the head of the maids, Kade demands, his voice cold and authoritative.

"I have no idea, my Lord. I knew she was bad news, but I never thought she could have done you wrong within her short time here, Master Kade." Pleads the head of the maids as she arches her back fully in a bowing position. Her body jerks out of fear.

Kade isn't in the mood for games. He's the calculative, ruthless, and emotionless one, and most especially, the Alpha of the triplets. He'd be the one to observe the situation before he acts further.

"Let's spread out. Link your minds with mine, so we can see through each other. It'd be fast to find the girl that way."

The brothers spread out, and soon they had the girl in their hands.

Kade touches Kieran's arm and nods at him when their eyes meet, which makes Kieran release his grip on Kaya. Her back hits the ground, and her hands go to touch the spot while she inhales deeply.

Her hair swipes down her face, keeping her recognition in check until, slowly, Kade uses his infex finger to shift the wet strands to the back of her ears. His ears pick up on the sound of her heart thumping so much that it could fall off her sternum.

He notices that she's very scared of them, and she hasn't performed any witchcraft as a form of response to their presence.

"What is your name, girl?" Kade asks her with a flat voice. He doesn't sound bothered by her current situation. He has his reasons and what he's noticed so far.

The girl shakes up, the veins on her neck poking out. "Kaya. Kaya. Please, I didn't do anything."

"You..."

"Hush." Kade snaps at Kieran, to which he shuts up instantly. "I didn't say you didn't do anything either. Are you facing your conscience? Did you do something offensive?"

Kaya's eyes flare at the question. "My father and brother were killed today because of your people, your guards. If I did something today, it was because it was worth it. I wouldn't have any of my conscience beating at me. I wish I was even able to hurt anyone of you all."

Kaya's eyes dart from Kade to Kyle as she speaks, but she receives a smirk and a wave of his hand before looking at Kieran, who glares at her and then gnashes his teeth.

"Kaya, there's something about you. I could ask my brothers to finish you here and now, but you're different from the other witches I've met." Kade pauses and smells her skin for a moment. "You cannot perform witchcraft, but it didn't leave you worthless or powerless, did it? No. You're important instead." His words are confusing to Kaya, causing the skin of her forehead to squeeze in defeat to his quizzical path of conversing.

"Give me a moment. I shall like to speak with my brothers."

Kade calls Kyle and Kieran, knowing for sure that Kaya can't run away; his Alpha aura has made sure of that.

"She's special. I'm sure you all can feel it."

"All I feel is to kill her." Kieran speaks without grasping for another way out.

Kyle, however, picks at his short goatee beard and bites his lower lip. "I felt a pump in my blood. I thought it was some witchcraft thing."

"No. She's our mate." Kade informs the others, which makes them flare their eyes. He points out his hands in a gesture to tell them to relax before he continues. "Now, I have no idea why that whore on the moon has decided to give us three to one lady," Kyle chuckles right there with a glint of flirt in his eyes," but whatever the reasons are, they might not be as bad. Brothers, I can see well. My sense of sight functions appropriately, and I think it's because of her."

Kieran shakes his head, not wanting to believe they won't kill Kaya. "We've always sought to kill the likes of her. You remember what they did to us. She's not to be exempt."

"Except she already is." Kade finalizes and pauses when Kyle gasps.

"I can. My sense of smell works too."

"See? I have a plan, and it's Kyle's." Kyle chuckles at Kade's words.

They go back to face Kaya, and Kade places his hand on both sides of the wall, hooking her in. "You have two choices here. It's either you become our slave or you die. Pick."

"The last thing I'd ever do is become your slave and serve the ones who killed my family. I want never a thing to do with the likes of you." Kaya yells at Kade's face, to which he finds amusing.

"She has ambitions, except this wasn't a choice from the start. Kaya, you're ours." That remains his last word before a guard appears in the room and Kade orders further.

"Take her to the slave's quarters for now. We'll know what to do with her afterward."

As the guards pick up Kaya, manhandling her to the slave's quarters, she screams to the top of her lungs. "I swear on my life; if you do not kill me off now, when I have my powers, I'd kill all of you."

Kade's demeanor remains normal before he turns to his brothers. "Whatever this is, we need to understand it."
