Chapter 26

Hayes’s POV

Pathetic. That was the only word I had for the situation I was currently in. We were all sitting at the dining table. Stella and Red were sitting at the right while Cole, Nick and I were sitting at the left with Father at the head of the dining table. Everyone was silent except for the occasional clinking of plates against each other and the tapping of Nick’s fingers against his keyboard.

Father had a gloomy expression on his face as usual. Stella was brushing her hair wi

    Chapter 28Harper’s POVI couldn’t sleep a wink. The thought of all I had said last night haunted me. My scalp was sore from constantly tugging at my hair. I sighed as I let my hair fall in waves instead of the usual bun. I woke up so early that I was sure no one was awake at the time, not even the triplets. It was still a bit dark when I snuck out. To my relief, Scott was standing outside the gate with two cups of coffee. “Thank goodness,” I muttered snatching the cup from his hands. I took a sip and sighed in delight.He raised a brow. “Well, hello to you too. You left me an emergency alert but I’m beginning to think you lured me out here for the coffee.”I shook my head amidst sips hoping not to burn my tongue. “Definitely not. The coffee was a plus but I’m genuinely in deep shit.”“What did you do this time Harper?” I proceeded to tell him everything that had happened. Aside from the kiss and subtle touches. By the time I was done, he had an amused look on his face. “What do yo

    Chapter 27Harper’s POVAnyone could tell they were not on good terms with their father. The cold replies, the harsh tones. I never would have imagined that the triplets weren’t cuddled by their father. Everyone had left the dining table except for me. It took me a…moment to properly collect myself. The maids were beginning to clean up the dining table. I saw a girl about my age reach for my plate. “Here, let me,” I muttered picking up the remaining plates myself. It was nice seeing someone of about my age. I was about to head towards the direction of the kitchen like the others but she stepped in front of me. She glanced around to make sure no one was watching before she gently grabbed the plates from me. She looked as if she were afraid. “It’s my job, Miss. There’s no need to help me with it.” She bowed slightly before hurrying towards the kitchen. I frowned. I could feel eyes on me but as soon as I looked up, all the maids looked away. Well, that was weird. I climbed upstairs tow

Everyone was silent except for the occasional clinking of plates against each other and the tapping of Nick’s fingers against his keyboard.Father had a gloomy expression on his face as usual. Stella was brushing her hair with her hands, her face covered in makeup, wearing a silk nightgown. She was hopeless. Anyone could tell she was experiencing real luxury for the first time. As for Red, she kept on following the movements of the maids like a lost sheep. Cole was on his second glass of wine for the evening. We were a sorry excuse for a family. The maids bowed in respect and took a few steps back waiting to be called upon if anything was needed. Father placed his napkin on his thighs and cleared his throat. “Let

  • Desired by fate   Finding out

    Chapter 25Allison’s POVThe wind whipped through my furs as I ran amidst the tall trees, whistling birds and clear sky. My bodyguard was close. He was also running behind me. He had a strict order from my father not to leave me alone for a second without protection. Doing that would get him fired. I wasn’t sure of the exact reason but it seemed he had gained another enemy. I wasn’t surprised. It has always been this way ever since I was a child. As the beta, the Alpha’s enemy was also his. And he was more of the target than the Alpha was because they thought they could get us. A position below the Alpha made us more vulnerable. But father made certain that we were not. I stopped running in front of the vast greenery where our house stood. They were security guards at each gate, well-trained and alert. Everyone was well-groomed in case of an attack. My bones snapped as I morphed back to my human form. I equally heard bones snapping behind me. I was a beta so I could shift without t

    Chapter 24Harper’s POVI scooped the ice cream into their cones and took them out to where they were seated. I had a strawberry sunset perfect for Cole, a chocolate chip cookie dough which seemed suitable for Noah and a mint chocolate chip for Hayes. He was the only one I knew who liked the mint flavour. I handed each to them. “How did you know our favourite flavours?” Hayes asked with a raised brow. “I just guessed,” I shrugged feigning ignorance. There was no way I was letting them know I had stalked them on any tabloid I could find that had as much as a tiny detail on their lives. “Well good guess,” Cole commended. I watched them hesitate for a while. “Aren’t you going to take a bite? Are you scared I'll spit on it?”Cole stared at me warily. “Would you?”“Why wouldn’t I?” I replied holding his gaze in defiance. “I cannot take you seriously with that silly hat perched at the top of your head,” Cole retorted. I involuntarily touched my hat with my hands.Hayes took a bite from

    Chapter 23Harper’s POVHer face was reddened with anger and shock. It was the most reaction I had ever seen her show in front of others. The salesgirl took the card from him. Whispers reverberated around us. That was all they could do. They knew better than to take pictures of the triplets. “Who is she?”“Where does she know them from?”“They really are as handsome and as generous as I’ve heard. Paying such a huge amount of money for someone like her.” Someone like her?Noah and Cole smirked. I internally scoffed. They were feeding off the songs of their praises. “Why…how could…why would you…” Laura stuttered in disbelief as words failed her. “Don’t you have somewhere to be?” Hayes inquired with a raised brow. Right. I didn’t as much as glance at any of their faces before dashing out. I rushed past the whispering people and didn’t stop till I got outside the mall. I texted Scott to assure him I was completely fine before heading towards the direction of the ice cream truck. It wa
