Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 144

144 Kidnapped

Olivia’s POVO

I woke up with a pounding headache and a foggy mind. Darkness surrounded me, and as I tried to move, I realized my hands were tied behind my back–my legs, too. Panic surged through me. I opened my mouth to scream, but something was shoved between my lips, turning my cry into a muffled, useless sound.

The surface under me was hard, shifting as if I were inside a moving car. And then realization hit me! I was in the trunk of a vehicle. My heart raced as I heard soft crying next to me. Turning as much as I could, I saw three other girls tied up like me. Their scared eyes

locked with mine, and I knew they were just as frightened as I was.

I struggled against the ropes, but they held fast. My mind raced, trying to piece together what had happened. I remembered the guards, the cloth pressed to my nose… that sweet scent–and then… nothing. Damn it. I’d been kidnapped.

144 Kidnapped

The car hit a bump, jolting all of us. One of the girls whimpered, looking at me like I might somehow save us. But I couldn’t. I was just as helpless. I didn’t even know how I’d ended up here.

Suddenly, the car stopped, and I heard footsteps outside. Before I could process it, the trunk flew open, flooding the dark space with bright sunlight. I blinked, trying to adjust, but before I could react, four large

men began pulling us out. I struggled, trying to break free, but a sharp slap across my face made me freeze.

“If y

you try that again, I’ll make you regret it,” one of the men growled, his voice sending chills down my spine.

We were dragged inside a building, pulled through a large room, and then up some stairs. The men shoved us into a small room, and I hit the cold floor hard. Wincing, I looked up and realized there were other girls here too, their eyes empty, staring at me and the other three girls.

The men untied our hands and legs but left the strange collars around our necks. “Make a sound, and you’re dead,” one of them warned before locking the

door behind them.

I sat up, my heart racing. The other girls in the room looked broken, like they had already given up. Fear twisted inside me. I reached out to my wolf, hoping she could help me, but… nothing. My wolf was silent.

“My wolf,” I whispered in panic, trying to connect with her again, but it was useless.

A quiet laugh broke the silence. It sounded dry and a little angry, coming from the far corner of the room.

“First time?” a girl said. Her voice scratched through the air like it hadn’t been used in days. I turned my head and saw her–maybe a year older than me, or maybe she just looked older from everything she’d seen. Her clothes were torn and stained, one eye swollen, but she held herself with a kind of grim awareness the others didn’t.

“What–what do you mean?” I asked, voice hoarse.

She tilted her head, revealing a metallic band around her neck, just the same as mine. “That collar on your neck? It’s not just for show. Blocks the bond. Your

wolf, your mind link, any chance of help… gone.”

I thought she was done but then she whispered. “But that doesn’t mean you won’t go on heat. Remember today’s is the full moon.“”

My stomach dropped. I touched the collar, feeling its cold metal against my skin. How could I have forgotten? Today was the full moon and I will be on heat tonight!

My fear and worry intensified.

“What do they want from us?” I asked, my voice shaking.

The girl sighed, her eyes looking tired. “In a few hours from now, they’ll sell us. Auction’s in a few hours. Virgins to the highest bidders, the rest… to whoever wants a disposable toy.”

Her words hit me hard. I looked around at the other girls, some silently crying, others staring into space. Tears burned my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. I had to stay strong. I had to find a way out of this place.

The girl saw the look on my face and shook her head.

“Don’t bother. People have tried to escape, and it

never ends well. This place is guarded, and we’re powerless with these collars on.”

The blood drained from my face.

“You’ve got the look of someone important,” she added. Her eyes flicked to the faint markings on my neck. “Pack ties?”

I hesitated. “I’m… mated. To the triplets of the Full Moon Pack.”

That made her sit up straighter. “Well. That makes you valuable. And very dangerous. Don’t let anyone know this, if they do, they will use you as a pawn to get to your mates.”

I swallowed hard, feeling the collar like a heavy weight around my neck. Without my wolf, 1 was weak, no different from a human. And without it, I couldn’t communicate with the triplet, at least to ask for their help. I knew I always wanted to leave them, but not like this… not to be kidnapped and sold off as a slave. Tears fell uncontrollably down my cheeks as I thought

of my mother. She would be heartbroken. What if we never get to see each other again? I was the only one she had left. I thought of the triplet as I wondered if they had noticed my absence. Are they even searching for me? I wonder what they might be thinking…

perhaps that I ran away.

Goodness, who could have done this? I knew it was definitely not the triplet. Yes, they hate me, but not to this extent of selling me off. If not them, then who could it be? Anita? Yes, it has to be her! But How? How did she get those men to dress in the guards‘ uniforms? How were they able to sneak me out?

I was still trying to process everything when suddenly the door opened and three women marched in, each holding a long whip in their hands.
