(Mirabella POV)
“F*ck! No!!!” Tears rolled down my cheeks when another wave of heat hit me hard. I almost curled into a ball, but I couldn’t let it take over my body because I had to run away from this hellhole.
“Please, Moon Goddess! Just let me run away from this hellhole. I promise I will leave this country with my brother. I will never trust another person after this.” I prayed to the Moon Goddess, and after a few minutes, the pain finally subsided a bit. I wiped the sweat off my forehead with the back of my hand and slowly opened the window. Everyone was really busy with the Christmas night preparations, and I thanked the Goddess in my heart.
I didn’t have many belongings except my bag, and I also shoved some extra necessities in it which Professor Carson had provided me earlier. My bag was present just a few feet away from me, and I started waiting for the party to start. Just a few hours, and I would be out of this cursed boat. Just when I was about to climb onto the bed to take a rest, a few men kicked open the door. Fear crawled up my spine, and I shook my head in no.
“So, this little meek caused all this ruckus, right?” One of them sneered, but something dark and merciless made me shiver in fear.
“Yes, Alpha Jonathan!” The guard answered, and I thought I had heard this name somewhere before.
“Drag her out and let everyone have a taste of her sweet c*nt. I am sure Carson will not make a fuss over a used and broken doll, right?” He laughed, and my breath caught in my throat. F*ck! Alpha Carson went to attend an important meeting, that’s why they came here to take advantage of this situation… F*ck hell!
“Don’t you dare to come near me. I am Alpha Carson’s property," I warned them when the guards entered the room, and they hesitated after hearing my warning.
“No need to fear this weak sl*t. Drag her out of this room, or else I will invite every guest to have a taste of her in this room. I am sure all the f*cking predators on this cruise would love to tear you apart.” After hearing the words, my blood ran cold in my veins, and I looked behind them.
“Alpha Carson! They are…” I said, and their heads whipped in that direction. I quickly jumped out of bed and in just a few steps, I was out with my bag, running for my life again.
“F*ck! That lying b*tch,” I heard their curses behind me, and I dashed towards the far corner because at that moment I had only one… to jump into the cold, merciless water to save my dignity.
“Stop her… I want her alive,” I heard another shout, and suddenly my bones started cracking like I was about to change, but it wasn’t the right moment. If I slow down a bit to transform, they will cage me to use me. I know even in my wolf form… I wouldn’t be able to take down all of them.
Just when I was about to jump, something hard hit my head, and everything spun around me. My bag fell from my hands, and I turned to look at those monsters looking at my pale face with triumphant smiles.
“F*cking got you… B*tch! You are going to pay for all this,” I felt something dark and warm trickling down the back of my head.
“Go to Hell,” I cursed them and fell on my knees, but before I collapsed on the floor, something moved with lightning speed and picked me up bridal speed.
“You b*stards f*cking dare to hurt her… I am going to kill all of you.” The angry roar was so loud and powerful that it shifted the energy of the whole cruise. All the hungry monsters who were so smug a moment ago fell on their knees, and I tried to keep my eyes open but all the blood loss made me dizzy.
“Sleep, My Bella! You are safe now,” He said, and I caught a flash of fangs and red eyes.
“V-v-vampire,” I thought, and with this, I lost consciousness.

“She endured so much in the past two days,” I heard Professor Carson’s voice, and someone groaned after hearing his words.
“I know! You have no idea what happened to my heart when I noticed all the blood oozing out of her head. I have to kill these b*stards with my bare hands to vent my anger,” Another one answered, and the moment his fangs and red eyes came to my mind, I got up with a jerk, and the scene in front of me confused the hell out of me.
“Professor Carson?” I asked them, but instead of one… There were three. I touched my head to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating.
I looked at their faces again and again, but failed to recognize who was who. Slowly, a smile crept on one of them.
“Yes, Sweetie! I am Professor Carson. How are you feeling?” He asked, but the tone and style were different from Professor Carson’s usual style. I shook my head in no.
“You are not,” I answered, and he was taken aback by my answer, but quickly recovered.
“Yes, bella! How are you feeling?” The second one stood up, and I nodded my head in yes.
“Yes, I am feeling fine, Professor Carson,” I answered, and he nodded, but I caught a hint of a smile on his face.
“Who are they?” I pointed towards the replicas of Professor Carson.
“His name is Ashton Carson,” He pointed towards the flirty one, who just tried to prank me.
“And he is Dominic Carson,” He pointed towards the other one, who was looking like the most violent one of all.
“And you can call me Marcus instead of Professor Carson,” He said, and I furrowed my brows in confusion.
“So, all of you are triplets… right? And all of you are Carson, hmm?” I asked, and he nodded in yes. Ashton burst into laughter after hearing my question.
“She is so cute and a little spitfire. I am going to love her company,” He announced, and Marcus pursed his lips in answer, but didn’t answer, while Dominic just rolled his eyes like he had had enough of his shenanigans.
“We have ordered some food for you. Have you taken your supplements today?” Alpha Marcus asked, and before I could answer, I felt a rush of liquid towards my core. I tried to clamp my thighs shut, but it was too late. I was so nervous about running away that I forgot to take my suppressants.
“F*ck! Her scent is driving me insane,” Ashton said, and grabbed the handle of his chair so tight that his knuckles turned white. All three of them started struggling to control their wolves, but now it was too late… My heat started hitting me wave after wave. I started writhing with heat and pain. Their eyes started changing colors, but the strange thing was… their eyes were different in color, unlike their features and physique.
“P-p-please… help me…” I begged them, and Marcus cursed under his breath. I felt like someone had put my body on fire, which I will not be able to extinguish. It was my first heat and the most ruthless one because I was delaying it with the suppressants.
