My Enemy My Mate

The Billionaire's Secret Triplets: Mom's Revenge

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

Ivy's Pov.

"Today, we gather to offer our final allegiance to the Night Walker pack for the continuity of peace and love," the eldest pack elder intoned, his voice a gravelly mix of reverence and finality. Around him, the crowd roared their agreement, their shouts ringing in my ears like a death knell.

I didn't join in. Instead, my eyes darted over the sea of faces, searching for Aiden. Dreading the possibility he'd come, yet selfishly hoping for one last glimpse of him.

The news of my betrothal had hit like a dagger to the chest, but how could I tell him? How could I face the boy who owned every inch of my heart and tell him it was over-not because I wanted it to be, but because I had no choice? My throat constricted at the thought of his shattered expression.

Don't look for him, Ivy. He deserves better than you.

I turned to the man I was to marry, his imposing figure all sharp edges and grim authority. His face was a mask of indifference, but I swore I could feel the disdain rolling off him. My stomach churned. The ache in my head from hours of crying hadn't lessened, and my swollen eyes burned with fresh tears threatening to spill.

This wasn't how my life was supposed to be. Forced into a union I didn't want, all for the sake of the pack's safety. My father's dream, my mother's insistence, the council's demands-it all merged into this moment. A moment I wanted no part of.

The Alpha called his second-in-command, his low voice barely audible over the buzz of the crowd. The beta, lean and efficient, disappeared and returned moments later carrying a calabash and a gleaming boline knife.

The elders from both packs assembled, ready to bind this union in blood.

I didn't flinch as the blade bit into my palm, warm blood pooling into the calabash. When it was the Alpha's turn, he extended his hand without hesitation, his stoic expression unchanging as the knife pierced his skin.

Of course, he didn't flinch. Brave, just like Mother said. Brave enough to ruin lives for the good of his pack.

Our palms met, blood mixing between us. His grip was firm, commanding-just like every other part of him. It sent a shiver down my spine, though not the good kind. The rest of the ritual passed in a blur, the chanting of the elders melding with the roaring in my ears.

It was done.

The Alpha's people divided the blood, sharing it between packs, sealing the alliance that would cost me everything. My home. My freedom. My love.

The crowd erupted in cheers, but I barely heard them. My gaze fell on my mother and sister, standing behind me with faces streaked in tears. They were mirrors of my own grief, yet their expressions were expectant as if I were supposed to march into this new life with grace and duty.

Instead, I crumbled.

"Mother," I choked, throwing myself into her arms. She caught me tightly, her embrace a fragile island of comfort amidst a storm of despair.

"My Princess," she murmured, her voice breaking. "Go and make your father proud. Show them he lives in you."

Proud? My stomach turned over. She'd known. She'd known all along that this was coming, yet she'd let me fall in love. Let me fall into bed with Aiden, spinning dreams of a future we'd never have.

The cruelest lie of all.

Tears blurred my vision as I whispered, "He wouldn't be proud of this." My voice was thick with rebellion, but I knew it didn't matter. Nothing I said would undo what had been done.
