Forbidden entanglement; Torn between the triplet Alphas.

(Annalise)“My date for the prom night? It's Lucas Wayne! He'll be here in a few minutes.” The school belle, Miranda, squealed as her clique surrounded her, all dressed to the nines. Who didn't know Lucas Wayne? He was the coolest of the popular Wayne triplets, trended on the internet for weeks over drinking a glass of water. Lucas was the leader of his football team, and won a couple of awards effortlessly which earned him the title “ Soccer Alpha.”I walked past Miranda in my knee-length blue evening gown and tripped, almost landing on my butt. “Watch it, loser.” Miranda's soft voice echoed in the hallway as I steadied myself quickly, rubbing my sweaty hands on my dress. Ever since my first day at school, the nickname had stuck to my body like glue, pushing my real name aside. I never liked the name, but I never stood up to it. I simply ignored it. Like every other day, I ignored Miranda and walked forward, heading towards the hall for the p

AnnaliseEveryone once had their traumatizing moment, and mine was just about to begin. Leaning on the creamy, white hospital wall, I watched as my mother battled for her own life, connected to a series of tubes and breathing machines. She just lay there, eyes closed, skin pale and faintly purple, having to exist was so much pain for her. The machines made slight beeping sounds, and each time I remembered that she had to depend on them to survive, it was enough to crumble the remnants of my world. “Isn't there something you can do?” Rosie wrapped my shoulders as I stared at the doctor, trying hard to remain sane, “stabilize her condition for a few more weeks, I need to raise the money. Please.” Rosie forced me to stare at her, “how about you return home to relax, honey? Let Mr. Jones and I figure this out.” I shook my head, pushing her hands away. Something deep down told me they weren't telling the truth, it was written all over the doctor—

(Annalise)Walking across the hallway, I clutched my books to my chest and headed into the lecture room for my first class of the day. I didn't believe Landon's words until I got a call from Rosie that night. Just before I could thank him, he already left like he hadn't been there for the past half an hour. Rosie had told me the surgery was scheduled for the day after tomorrow which was perfect, I'd settle my school issues and spend a night at the hospital for the surgery. A single visit from Landon and I was smiling throughout the whole day. My spirit was lifted, I was in a better mood, it felt like walking on white, puffy clouds. I had my gaze fixed on my front seat, but even before I could pull out my chair, some sky heel stilettos were placed on it. Well polished nails, flawless skin and an anklet. Without raising my head, I could already guess who it was. Miranda. Pressing my lips together, I clutched my books and proceeded to find another seat,

(Annalise Pov)Fear exploded through every opening in my system as I stayed pinned on the wall. These weren't the normal college bullies I usually encounter. These ones were different. They looked more matured and deadly, and the thought of that sent chills licking down my spine. I began to mumble a few words of prayer, hoping to the universe that I don't get hurt. I couldn't scream as fear made the sound stuck in my throat. All I could do was plead, hoping they listened as I don't remember doing any wrong to them.“Please, don't hurt me, I haven't done anything wrong. I promise you, you've got the wrong person,” I pleaded, my voice coming out as a raspy whisper.The second one with a less bulky frame off a mirthless laugh. “And who said we have the wrong person? Of course it's you we came here for, loser.”More fear coursed down my system at his words, and I couldn't help but wonder what wrong I had done and who must have sent them as I am very certain that I had done nothing to the

(ANNALISE'S POV) After slamming the door on Lucas's face, I went into my room to blush really hard. He was good at flirting and his words always had an effect on me; I tried not to show it out there so he wouldn't think I was happy with him. He had promised to go warn Miranda, only to get there and rub the fact that he still loved her on my face. The awkward image of Miranda and the guys replayed in my head and I wondered for how long I'd be traumatised. The sight was so crude and it left me in shock. It was the first time I was stumbling on a guy's nakedness and it made my stomach churn. She could get so shameless with other guys but yet, claimed to love Lucas. And to think that was the price she had to pay, just to get those guys to bully me, got me wondering just how much she hated me. I had a quick bath and retired to bed, too tired to even glance through my books. Marie was not in the room and I knew she'd be with her side dick, Mark. She parades the campus with Mark as her b
