LOGINAva’s POV
After the brothers left, Madam Margaret led me upstairs to their quarters. I knew I wasn't supposed to sleep in their rooms. The room I had back at my father's house was nothing compared to the room she led me to.
The room was a harmonious blend of opulence and serenity. Soft golden light poured through tall, arched windows draped with silk curtains in hues of ivory and royal blue. The ceiling, high and domed, was adorned with delicate frescoes and a glittering crystal chandelier that cast a gentle shimmer across the polished marble floor.
At the centre of the room stood a grand four-poster bed, its carved wooden frame gilded and its canopy cascading with sheer, embroidered fabric. Plush pillows and a velvet coverlet in deep jewel tones invited rest. Opposite the bed, a hand-painted fireplace flickered with warmth, framed by a pair of velvet armchairs perfect for private conversation or quiet reading.
An antique writing desk stood near the window, complete with fine stationery, a quill pen, and fresh flowers in a porcelain vase. Along one wall, a gilded wardrobe and matching vanity offered every comfort. Silken robes, perfumed oils, and a mirror trimmed in gold.
The air smelled faintly of jasmine and sandalwood, and every detail. From the softest rug beneath one's feet to the intricate crown moulding above, spoke of refined taste and generous hospitality.
“This room will keep you close to the Alphas, my lady.” She said. She immediately rang a bell and suddenly, three maids rushed into the room. I was stripped and although I didn't feel comfortable stripping and letting them touch me, I stayed still. I didn't want to make their work difficult. They led me to the bathroom where they pampered and washed my skin.
They lathered shampoo into my hair and washed it. I don't remember the last time I washed my hair. I had black hair that curled and reached my waist. After they finished, they dried my body and put a robe over me. Then, they led me to the room where various foods were waiting for me. I didn't want them to watch me eat so I asked to be excused.
“We'll be right outside. If you need anything, just ring the bell.” Madam Margaret told me. I nodded and they left. I sat at the table, staring at the food. I started eating, moaning at the taste of the chicken. The last time I ate was two days ago. And even that wasn't enough. I devoured the food until I couldn't eat anymore. When I finished, I pushed back on the chair and rubbed my tummy.
I wasn't comfortable on the chair anymore so I went to lie down on the bed. It was soft and comfy. I quickly settled down comfortably on the bed. Then my mind went to why the Alpha Kings didn't reject me. I was not at their level.
I didn't want an extravagant life. I wanted a life of peace but it seems like the Moon Goddess had other plans. Everything felt so foreign to me. Like I didn't belong here and I knew I didn't. The Alphas hadn't done anything to make me feel uncomfortable, but what if over time, they changed? What would I do then?
And there have been rumours that they had a lot of mistresses. Was that the kind of life I wanted? I knew that my step sister was Jake's lover. Would he stop seeing her now that he had found out that I was his mate? Or would they continue their affair while disregarding the fact that I was their mate?
I knew my sister well enough to know that once she believed something was hers, she would do anything and everything in her power to make sure that it stayed that way. I thought about things for a long time, and I didn't know when I fell asleep.
I didn't know how much time had passed but I woke up to a soft caress on my face. I opened my eyes and I saw three blue eyes staring at me. They had come to claim me completely, I was sure. I wanted to sit up but Jason pushed me down.
“Relax princess. We promise we'll make you feel good, okay?” Jake said and I found myself nodding. Every touch of their hands on my skin ignited a fire in me that travelled straight to my core. Jason took my mouth in his and started kissing me while Jake undid my robe. Then he palmed my breasts in both hands.
“So soft. Your body looks like an invitation to hell. Lucky for us, we're not scared to spend an eternity inside.” He said and it made my toes curl with lust. Jason was still kissing me and from the corner of my eyes I saw James' eyes darkening with lust as he slipped two fingers into my pussy. I hissed at the sudden intrusion. After a while, the pain subsided and pleasure took over as I moaned.
James was between my legs in seconds, spreading my legs so he could have better access to my pussy. He spread my pussy lips and took one languid stroke. If not for Jason still kissing me, I would have screamed because I felt like I was on cloud nine. Jake's mouth latched to one nipple while pinching the other.
Here I was, in a room with three strong Alphas, taking their time to worship my body. Jason's mouth left mine and trailed kisses down the slope of my ear. I shivered as he whispered sweet nothings into my ear. I didn't know what to concentrate on. And I was trying so desperately not to do anything that would ruin the moment.
I felt James pinch my clit and that was what it took for me to combust. After I came down from my high, I turned to see that they were already stripping out of their clothes. I was scared because it's my first time but Jason assured me that it would be okay.
“Will it hurt?” I asked them.
“You'll hardly feel it, love,” Jason said, positioning his thick dick at my core. I felt excited about the possibilities of this union working.
Ava’s POV“Why do I feel like you’re about to dump a load of advice on me, Lukan?” I asked. “Well, not particularly, but I have a couple of things to say and it’s pertaining to what you’ve just told me.” He said. The thing with Lukan is that there was no inbetween for him most times. So whatever was going to come out of his mouth was going to either be refreshing or hurt like a motherfucker, it was as simple as that and over time, I’ve gotten used to it. “Okay, fine. Tell me what it is.” I shrugged, mentally preparing myself for it. “You may not have acknowledged it but I’m quite certain that a part of you already knew that their promiscuous actions would hit close to home. I mean, if you saw Jake with Emily on the day of your engagement ceremony, do you think they wouldn’t have done worse before that? It doesn’t work like that, Ava.” Lukan began. I didn’t like where this was heading. It was making me feel self-conscious and I hated that feeling. “So what are you trying to say
Ava’s POV“I heard what happened at your apartment,” Lukan began, taking a sip from the glass of champagne in his hand. “What the—“ “Let’s go somewhere private and talk, Ava. There’s a lot of eyes on us and we don’t want the wrong person to eavesdrop on our conversations.” Lukan cut me gently as he guided me past the French doors and towards the balcony. The moon cast a silver glow over the landscape, its gentle light illuminating the night with a soft, ethereal radiance. In a tranquil garden below, the sound of a small fountain created a soothing melody, its gentle burble weaving in and out of the crickets' chirping.I figured that Renee had told him about what happened during my interview with the host because that was the only time I’ve seen them together for more than a few seconds throughout the night. “I hope you’re not angry with her, Ava? It’s your story to tell after all.” Lukan said as we stood on the balcony, away from the merriment happening inside. “Oh, no. Not at a
Ava’s POVThe day had started horribly for me and as it progressed, it got worse. Renee and Valerie had convinced me to take a short nap so I would feel better after the emotionally disturbing encounter I had with the Wayland brothers earlier on and I duly obliged. I took their advice and I woke up with swollen feet, a throbbing back, and the kind of mood that made me want to stay curled in bed forever but I knew that I couldn’t do that. I already made a commitment and I had to fulfil the obligation and bow out like I wanted to.The baby inside me kicked restlessly as if echoing my frustration, and to make matters worse, I’d spilled tea on the one dress I thought I could still fit into.I should’ve taken Lukan’s advice and gone shopping but I didn’t and my friends didn’t even bother telling me that I’d gained a couple of more pounds and I wondered if it was because they were worried about what my response would be or if they just didn’t want to say anything. I eventually found the
Ava’s POV“Ava, what happened at the door? Did they say something to you?” Renee asked.“If they did, you need to let us know so we can devise a plan to protect you from them and send them away for good. Your cousin would hate for anything to happen to you and if we don’t tell him if something is wrong, he’s going to be pissed.” Valerie added. “Have you ever been in a spot where you know something is bad for you, like really bad, but you’ve seen signs of change and you’re inclined to give it a second chance and when you eventually do, you end up realizing that you were right from the start. Because what is bad for you will always be bad, no matter how much rebranding it goes through? That’s where I am right now and I can’t help but curse myself for not trusting my gut and listening to my heart instead.”“So this has to do with something they did to you last night, right?” Renee asked. “I used to have an assistant when I was engaged to them, you know? I was going to be the Luna of th
Ava’s POV"I think you should wear black instead, it fits." She said. "Really?" I spared her a glance. "What? It is a good idea, you know." Renee shrugged her shoulders. “Okay then.” I nodded my head. “I’m sorry, Ava. But what’s going on? I don’t quite understand and while I’ve been waiting for you to explain, I’m not sure you’ve understood that I’m here because I need an explanation from you.” Renee said. I sighed and nibbled on my lower lip. It wasn’t that I didn’t understand why she was here but I had been hoping that she wouldn’t bug me with questions. It’s why I decided that I wanted to leave the apartment instead of staying here and subjecting myself to questions that will surely come. Before I could open my mouth, Valerie walked in. She took one look at Renee and I and she figured that something wasn’t right—she had a knack for knowing these kinds of things. “So what am I missing or better still, what have I missed?” She asked, looking back and forth between Renee and
Ava’s POV“I love you, Ava. We love you.” He said. “Don’t say that again! Don’t say you love me because you clearly don't!" I said, yelling.What else haven’t they told me? If they could keep this from me, what else were they hiding? And the main question was if I wanted to hear it and if I would be able to survive if I did. It seemed what I knew about them and what they did to me was only the surface. There was so much buried beneath that I was scared to delve deeper before I ruined what was left of my heart and I wasn’t sure I had the stomach for that right now. "I messed up, I know—we know and we want to mend things between us, Ava. We are meant to be together and we just want to prove that to you, just give us a second chance. Please, Ava. Please give us a second chance, that’s all we want and I know that’s why you asked us to come in the first place." He said while holding my hands.He had a sad look on his face, he was clearly in emotional distress and if it weren’t for the
