The Triplets' Alpha Hidden Mate

Kylie

"But when exactly, Jason? I've been patient enough," I heard Selene say.

A million questions flooded my mind. What was Selene doing here?!

"A little longer, sweetheart. Remember the doctor already confirmed that you cannot carry a pregnancy. I'm just waiting for that omega bitch, Kylie, to give birth to my heir. Once that's done, you will take the child. And then we can dispose of her, dump her in the trash where she truly belongs."

My knees grow weak. I could not breathe. Suddenly, the world began to spin, and I got the overwhelming urge to throw up.

No, no, no. This can't be happening to me. I stood frozen at the door, tears filling my eyes as I struggled to make sense of what I'd just overheard.

My chest was so painfully tight that I could hardly breathe. Bile had risen to my throat up to the point where I felt like I was going to throw up.

As I stood there in a daze, I questioned if this was truly happening. If I was truly hearing my best friend discussing my downfall with my fiance.

A fat tear slid down my cheek. Selene, who I thought I could trust with my life, was with my mate all along. And Jason was in on it? Jason was cheating on me with my best friend.

A sob almost broke from my throat, I had to muffle it by putting a hand over my mouth. My whole body trembled as I stood outside Jason's study having a breakdown.

I couldn't believe this was happening to me. I thought…I thought Jason loved me. I thought he truly cared about me. He had been good to me, he had stuck by me, he had been supportive. Finding out that he had been faking his love for me this entire time was the most heartbreaking thing I had ever experienced. I wanted to collapse to the ground and sob till my throat felt raw.

Only minutes ago I was filled with joy at the thought of seeing Jason, I had counted myself as the luckiest girl in the world. Now my entire life was crashing down right in front of me. Tears ran down my cheeks as I cried quietly outside the door.

Why would he do this to me?! Why would Selene do this to me?! What had I done to deserve this from the two of them?! My heart felt like it was going to break.

For a second, the pain resentment built so high in my chest that I wanted to barge right in and confront them. My fists clenched shakily as I stood in front of the door, my heart pounding.

But then I thought better of it. This whole conversation was a plot against me. Jason was planning to use me as a breeder, to bear an heir for him and Selene, and from the look of things, he was planning to do it by every means possible. If I revealed myself to them now, it would only make their plans easier to execute.

So, with pain in my chest and tears still spilling from my eyes, I hurried out of the room and headed back outside.

Just before I came into view, I wiped my eyes and tried to shake off the feeling. I just wanted to ignore the drama and go my way without drawing attention to myself.

"So…how did it go? What happened?" Thomas, my other friend that I asked to bring me here so I could give Jason a surprise visit asked me.

He was still seated in the car when I arrived, but he climbed out when he saw me.

I almost burst out crying again but I held myself back. "Nothing," I answered casually. "Jason isn't home right now. I'll just come back another time."

"Oh..damn, sorry we had to come all this way. Are you sure you're okay?"

I nodded. "Of course. Let's go."

I was seated in the passenger seat of Thomas's car as he drove down the highway, the wind blowing in my hair, Christmas lights twinkling all around us, and the warm sun shining on my face. Just a few hours ago, I thought everything was falling into place—getting married to Jason in two days filled me with joy, especially because it was the Christmas period. Weddings during this time were always the talk of the town, with everyone back in the pack for the holidays and ready to celebrate.

Not only that but I had just gained admission into my dream college, and soon, I would be marrying the love of my life—Jason, the man who had made the last few years of my life worth living. All the good things I could ever wish for were happening back-to-back. It was truly a blessing, one I did not want to celebrate alone. Which was why I headed to Jason's palace halfway across the city to give him the good news .

One of the reasons why I'd fallen for him so fast and so hard. He never made me feel small or less or myself. I couldn't help but feel like literally the luckiest girl in the world. Even though I was a low-level omega and an orphan, he never treated me like trash.

On the contrary, he was always kind to me. How could I resist falling for a man like that? And when he accepted me as his mate, I was so overwhelmed with joy that I cried.

I was such a fool.

Thinking of all this now made me realize how stupid I had been to think that Jason actually loved me. My eyes blurred with tears again. I was still trying to calm myself down when suddenly, the car made a powerful impact.

"AAAHHHH!!!"

A piercing scream tore from my throat when suddenly an speeding car appeared from the side, heading straight for our car.

"Fuck!!" Thomas swore. I watched in fear as he swerved the car in the other direction just in time, avoiding the speeding truck by a few inches.

My heart was pounding in my ears when the car stopped. "Are you okay?!"

Thomas nodded.

Through the side mirror, I saw that the stupid car that had almost hit us was parked at the side of the road. My fear turned to boiling anger faster than lightning, and I found myself climbing out of the car and heading over to the other side of the road. The driver of the car had not come out and that made me angrier.

Everything was already fucked up. Jason, Selene, and now this dumb person of a driver.

"What the fuck?! Don't you know this is a highway? You just sped out of nowhere like a madman. You could have killed us! I'm talking to you! At least have the decency to step out and check for damages, you bloody jerk!"

The car door clicked open and a young man stepped out. My breath hitched in my throat at the sight of him. Holy fuck of all things good. He was…gorgeous.

For a second, I almost lost my composure. The tall, dark haired guy, handsome as sin, towered over me, a smirk tilting the corner of his lips, and those icy blue eyes seemed to stare into my soul. For a long moment, I almost faltered. But quickly, I regained myself.

They had almost killed us! This was not the time to stare at him.

"Are you listening to me?! You almost killed us, why the hell why are you driving like that?!"

The handsome stranger still did not respond. At the same time, the driver's side of the car clicked open, and another guy walked out, his face scrunched into a murderous frown. I was taken aback by the resemblance between the driver and the guy I'd been yelling at.

"What the fuck is your problem?" The driver hissed, walking closer to me. "You think I don't know what this shit is? You're looking for excuses so we can pay for damages, right? You good-for-nothing gold-digger," he hissed.

Hot anger rushed through my veins. This bastard thought I wanted anything to do with him or their money?

I looked him straight in the eyes. "Since you don't have the common sense or decency to see that you're in the wrong here, I'll give you something else." Slipping my hand into my pocket, I took out a dollar bill from my purse and shoved it into his pocket. "There. Use that to get a coffee because it's obvious you need to chill."

The guy glared at me, his fists clenching. "The fuck did you say?"

Just then, the back door of their car swung open and a third guy barged out. All three of them surrounded me, and instantly felt my heart drop to my stomach. But still I refused to back down. I was about to yell at them again when I felt myself being yanked backwards.

"Kylie…" Thomas's voice whispered urgently in my ear. I looked up, still seething, to see him holding onto my arm and pulling me away from the three guys.

"Hey man, sorry about that. I apologize for the way she spoke to you. We don't want any trouble, please," Thomas apologized to the guys. I whipped around to face him, still shocked. But before I could counter, he was already dragging me back towards our car.

"Why did you do that?!" I hissed at him when we were back in the car.

He gestured to the guys who were now getting back into their car. "Look at the logo on their sweatshirts. They're obviously students of Lythmore Academy. And you know that means they are all from rich and powerful families."

I was barely listening to him. "And so?"

Thomas started the engine of the car and started to drive. "I felt their aura from a good distance away, Kylie. Those are not ordinary boys. Their auras are like an Alpha's; very strong, very powerful."

I sighed and said nothing for the rest of the ride. "Are you sure everything is okay?" Thomas asked gently. "You've been acting unusual. Did something happen at the palace?"

His question made me so sad that I couldn't help bursting into tears. "I…Jason and Selene, they've been seeing each other. I overheard…"

Through tears brimming in my eyes, I told him everything I'd heard, adding in the part about Jason wanting me to bear for him before he discards me.

"I'm so sorry, Kylie."

I shook my head. "I just…why would he do this to me?!"

My voice broke, and I found myself crying silently. Thomas waited by my side, patting my back and trying to calm me down. Once I felt better, I wiped my eyes and stood, my mind made up.

"I have to leave. I have to run away. I can't let myself become a slave, never."

Thomas raised an eyebrow. "Surely you're not thinking of leaving everything behind and running away.."

"That's exactly what I want to do. I can't stay, Thomas. After everything…" another lump formed in my throat. "I can't…I have to leave."

"But Kylie, that's another issue. Your wedding to Alpha Jason is in two days'. And you know what would happen to the Alpha if his bride didn't show up on his wedding day. That would be a huge scandal, and he might not take it lightly."

I scoffed, shaking my head. "I don't care, Thomas," I said, trying not to cry. "Jason will just have to find a way to sort himself out. That's the only option I have right now, and you know it. Jason would never ever let me go if I asked."

Thomas sighed, rubbing his temple. "I still don't think this is a good idea. Where would you go? Jason is an Alpha. There's nowhere you could go where Jason won't find you if he wanted to. Maybe you should just relax for now. Maybe there is a solution to this, at least before you get pregnant we will find a way around it—"

"What solution? I can't do it. I cannot get married to a man who is in love with another person. I can't. I have to leave."

Thomas said nothing. I felt myself getting teary again. I walked up to him. "Thomas, please, I need your help. You're the only person who can help me escape without Jason ever finding out. Please, Thomas, I'm begging you. I can't live a life like this. Please…"

Tears rolled down my cheeks but I didn't bother wiping them. I was too tired, I just wanted to leave this place.

Finally, Thomas sighed. "Alright. Meet me at the roundabout tonight. Pack light, okay? So your luggage won't wear you down."

I nodded, thanking him profusely, although my heart was heavy.
