The crowd is silent. I don’t know if I am just feeling weirded out but their eyes are looking at me…like everyone is looking at me today in the library. My pants are exceptionally hanging into my waist while my black cotton shirt is simply tucked. Because I don’t have any friends, my favorite place in the library is right under the corner, where no one will be going to disturb me.
“We’re waiting for you.”
“ Too much mind linking is an abuse of power, Alpha.” I mocked Alpha Nicholas before I found him staring into me as I passed by the center of the library. There he was, comfortably seating while his twin is reading too many books. My first instinct is to not be seen but I wasn’t successful.
“ We reserved you a seat,” he said before my eyes widens when I saw what he’s referring to. This brute has a placard with my name on it, situated at one of the vacant chairs in their table. He’s happily watching my reaction and he seems proud about it.
My limit is reached. “The heck?!” He only grins at my reaction before he signals me to come into their direction. I turned around and was ready to leave the place when suddenly, Alpha Nicholas is hovering in front of me and looking deadly. The silent crowd became more silent and terrified..anticipating what he might do to me given our history.
“ Sit over there, now.”
He’s an asshole and arrogant Alpha. His voice is too brutal and serious that it sent me to the edge, wondering if he’s really my mate or not. I was trembling, that’s a given because this is how he talks to those who pissed him before. My hand is shaking when I placed my bag on the table and look at Alpha Antonio for help. But he wasn’t looking at me.
“ Ehrrrmm.”
Failed. He didn’t notice that I am staring at him for help. Alpha Nicholas snaps his fingers and the crowd continues their own things to do, not attempting to look in our direction.
“You’re making us obvious,” I hissed when I read the title of the books that Alpha Antonio is reading right now. Trio mate, History of a rare phenomenon, The curse of the moon goddess.
He only looked at me before he continues to jot down words. “Anton!” Someone hissed and that is his twin brother. “Alpha Antonio for you, little brat,” he snapped before I can feel his hands crawling into my legs under the table. I looked at Alpha Antonio for help but he didn’t seem to notice what his brother is trying to do.
His cold fingertips reached just beneath my skirt and suddenly Alpha Antonio snatched me to his side before he planted a kiss right into my lips which made the whole crowd gasped. “Listen, everyone.” Alpha Nicholas tried to protest but Alpha Antonio didn’t give him any chance because he’s at the top of the table and getting everyone’s attention.
“ Devon Creed is my mate, anyone who dares to do anything to her, you will have the pit of hell as your new home.”
He growls. A kind of growl that means a threat to anyone but I was too beyond shocked because of his possessiveness. He never dares to go against his brother or do anything like emphasizing his power to our pack but this is something…something that I don’t know about him.
“ Cabin, 10:00 p.m sharp.” Those is his last words to me before he gathered all of the books and strode out of the library. Alpha Nicholas slowly clapped his hands, grinning but there is a visible line of irritation in his eyes.
“ Got him wrap into your fingers, huh?” he whispers before he got up and slowly walk outside, trailing his brother. I can see the curious and annoyed stare of the crowd. Some girls are whispering about how lucky I am and about how I don’t deserve someone like their Alpha Antonio but no one dares to defy his threat.
Gladly, I spend my free hours in the library before I looked at the clock and notice that it is almost 10 in the evening. I gathered all of my things and quietly walked to my dorm before I was hit by something. It’s a piece of paper, crumpled and dirty. I looked around the dark hallways to saw who throw it but no one is around. It was just me and the darkness of the night.
“I know about your secret.” That is what’s written in the paper. My lips tremble when I read about it. I clutched the paper and looked around, one more time. However, there is really no one, not even the person who throws this paper.
Is this a threat or a warning? I don’t know but nevertheless, it makes me nervous about the consequences. Being in a trio mate is one thing but having a curse that was bestowed by the moon goddess itself is a sign of betrayal to the pack. They will isolate the three of us or worst they will kill us.
“ There you are!”
My body winced when Beta Xander spoke behind me. He’s smiling but then when he saw that I am beyond terrified, he looks curious all of a sudden. “You okay?” he asked before he looked around than looking at the crumpled paper in my hands. Immediately, I put in my bag before I tried to put on a smile.
“ I’m waiting for you,”
“ Huh?” shocked, I asked.
“ I mean, that’s Alpha Nicholas’s message for you. He sends me to make sure that you’re okay because he can’t mindlink with you earlier.”
Now, he looks more curious. “Trouble in paradise?” he asked. “Alpha’s Nicholas mind linking game is too strong and this is the first time that he can’t do it to someone,” he stated with his curious voice.
“ Who are you?”
I was a bit bewildered by his question but I continue walking faster.
“ You don’t know me?” I scoffed because he’s also Alpha Antonio’s beta and I am hanging with him around.
“ Are you really Alpha Antonio’s mate? Or are you Alpha Nicholas mate?”
His voice seeks answers that made me stopped my tracks.
“Or perhaps, you’re…both?” His brows wiggle like he’s just waiting for me to accept his traps.
I gulp to stop myself from stuttering. “That’s absurd haha.”
He watched me as I began laughing because of his point but there’s a part of him that tells me, he didn’t buy it.
“Absurd, huh?” he whispers before my eyes landed on the two-person who’s waiting right outside my dorm.
Alpha Antonio is furiously knocking on my door while Alpha Nicholas is leaning to the wall, with his pocket in his hands and cigarettes in his teeth.
Beta Xander smirked. “I don’t think so,” he teased before he disappears in the air leaving me wondering about what the heck does he know about us.
Alpha Nicholas gripped my neck and choke me hard before he slams me to Alpha Antonio’s body. He growls before catching me as I fall into his laps after his twin just chokes me.“Nicholas!” Alpha Antonio stopped his twin before he can attack me once again. “Are you fucking nuts?!” he asked before glaring at his brother and looking at my neck, checking if I was bruised.Alpha Nicholas only laughed after he slammed himself to the sofa. “She smells like Beta Xander,” he snapped.So that was it, I am holding my neck and inhaling my breath as I glare at him. “ You instructed him to send me your message!” I didn’t mean to raise my voice to my own Alpha but he’s really pissing me off. They dragged me here into our cabin and accused me of things when he smells his beta into my body.“ Did you?” Alpha Nicholas asked his twin who only shook his head before looking at him. They both hissed
Loud howls of pain escaped from the lips of both Alpha’s as I am terrified while holding both of their hands. “What the heck happened, Devon?!” My brother asked as he is pacing back and forth while looking at the two bodies in the bedroom of the cabin. He's sporting a man bun because of how long his curly hair is. I looked at the ground because I didn’t really have any idea what is happening. “I’ll check them.” My hand immediately stops him in his tracks. Aaron isn’t a normal wolf doctor, he’s captivated with myths and the secrets of nature, the moment that his hands will land on them while their guard is down, he might know…about our secret. “ I needed to do something about them .” “ No!” “ Then, why the heck did you even call me here in the first place?!” We continued in bickering like animals before both of the Alphas started groaning more and more as Aaron opens the curtain. The reflection of the moonlight directly hits the twin’s
That was awkward. The air seems to produce an awkward potion, poisoning all of us and luring us into the deep hole of awkwardness. We are fully clothed and just avoiding each other’s gaze while sitting far from each other. Personally, I don’t have any idea what happened and how should I perceive what happened. I enjoyed giving myself to them last night, and that thought bothered me. Yes, we are trio mates and we are cursed but what happened is too fast. And magical, they ended up trembling into the floor and as soon as they drank the herbs, it started to take effect on their body…thus in my conclusion, the root of what happened. “ Devon…” Alpha Antonio said, not looking at me but from the distance, I can see how his eyes shed from tears. He hides it by turning his back on us. Alpha Nicholas cleared his throat. “I’m sorry..” I wasn’t expecting that. Not from him. Closing my eyes, I remembered all of my principles in life and how I value m
“ Devon… I’m sorry. I needed to do this.” Sweats formed at my soft palm and my mind seeks for answers, the man appeared in front of me but he was all shadow. Both of my hands automatically wanted to reach him, but he only shakes his head and walk away before everything went black. “DON’T GO!” The blood pounded into my ear, causing it to be nothing but red. My feet tingle and my body is hyperventilating from the intensity of the dream that I just had. Yes, dream because when I open my eyes, I saw myself laying on top of a familiar bed. It’s mine, with a set of hands holding mine firmly. I squint my eyes. “A-Antonio,” my voice quivers recognizing his face, leaning into the soft bed and silently snoring. A footstep was heard into my dorm. “You’re awake!” Alpha Nicholas joyfully said before putting me in a tight embrace. “I thought..I lost you,” he added before unconsciously planting a kiss into my half-open lips.
“ Fuck!” He chuckles when he heard me cursed as I struggle to lift myself up from the ice-cold water to catch my breath. Our clothes are all soaked and so as our body but he didn’t felt any remorse as if he dragged me more to the depth of the streams. I felt the goosebumps. “ It’s freaking cold!” But what he did makes my insides felt the turmoil. His hands slips through my clothes and ripped all of it away from my body, leaving me naked with nothing but my brassiere. He did the same to his clothes while locking his eyes on mine. He stops and stole a quick kiss. “ You look so wet…beautifully mess,” he said before diving into the water and swim across the streams, edging into the rocky formation. He whistles and waves his hands, calling upon my name. “ Devon!” However, my eyes is fixated at his smiling face. “ Come here, kitten,” he added and when I didn’t move any single inch, he swims forward and caught my legs underwater before enveloping me
The night is still young when we reached the borderline of the remote area that we’ve just visited. Alpha Antonio needed to make some conversations with the mountain people before they let us pass and enter one of the dangerous mountains in the eastern country.Yes. Most dangerous and mysterious because of the old-wives tales that have been circulating for over a century now. My mom used to tell me not to cross into this mountain alone and without enough strength to defend myself. She warned me and yet, here I am walking further into the darkness, trying to figure out what this land is trying to hide from the realm of the world.Green leaves from the sturdy trees provide a shed and cold atmosphere for the mountain. Or maybe it was the high altitude that brought the windy and moist effect of the air. Nevertheless, Alpha Antonio’s jacket is embracing my body, protecting me from the cold.He stopped from walking and survey our location. One more kilomet
“You must be kidding me, right?!”Alpha Nicholas shouted at his twin brother before slamming the book at the top of the table making a supple sound against the shear wood. The young girl gave me the book, sneaking into the window and looking scared as hell. At first, I thought it’s something not until we discovered that it contains nothing inside, not even a single ink of pen.I looked at them, grimaced. “There’s no one who can remove the curse for us,” I said, having no hope for our situation. My heart longs to live a normal life without the fear of the consequences with being entangled in this weird situation.“ We can try and search for another witch,” Alpha Antonio said. I shake my head and was ready to leave them at their office when the door suddenly opened, revealing Beta Xander. He recognized our awful faces and his eyes automatically landed on the book at the table which I quickly picked and hide behind my
The man in the photo looks serious with his mustache and muscular build, a piece of vintage metal tobacco on the line between his fingers and his round lips. The way he look on the camera tells me that his pose is nothing but domination.“You look exactly like him,” I said before my eyes wanders at the two Alpha’s in front of me, sitting at the top of the study table in this old office of their father while drinking from the beer of can. No wonder that this man in the picture is none other than Gerri Gibbous, their late father and the founder of the Gibbous pack.His history wasn’t well known by wolf of our age but my mom told me about him when I was young. The Gibbous pack wasn’t those old civilization of wolves past from generations, Alpha Gerri Gibbous himself founded our pack in the middle of the war between the coalition of the wolves in this area. She told me that Gerri Gibbous was once an Alpha from an old pack in a far away l
