Chapter 4

Mia's POV:

Leon, his father, and my mother looked at me, Luis, and Liam after we gasped.

"Mia, I know you might be afraid of the triplets, but they will treat you nicely," Mom said, holding hands with Alpha David.

Luis and Liam stood up, abandoning their meals, as they said, "Excuse us, Dad. We'd like to have a word with Leon."

Their father scowled and replied, "Finish your meals first before you go out for any conversation. You heard my love say that she put in a lot of effort to prepare the meal, so sit back and finish it."

Luis and Liam frowned and sat down, their expressions frosty, while my mother looked at them with concern.

"It's okay, babe. You can let the boys chat," Mom said softly, but Alpha David shook his head in rejection.

"No, my love. I know these two rascals better than you do. They want to confuse Leon so he won't accept you as his stepmother," Alpha David said, his eyes glaring at Liam and Luis.

"What?! Hahaha!" Mom laughed, and I smiled, understanding that Alpha David knew what his sons were up to.

"Fine, Dad. We'll finish the food before going out to discuss," Luis said, sitting back in his chair next to me. I tensed as Luis extended his left hand and pinched my right thigh.

"Ah!" I groaned, and everyone at the table looked at me in concern, except for Luis.

"What's the matter, Mia?" Mom asked worriedly. She hastily stood up and rushed over to me, as if she was scared something had happened to me.

"Mom, Luis pinched me just now!" I pointed at Luis, who acted indifferently, and his father frowned.

"Is that true, Luis?" Alpha David asked, and Luis said, "She was rejoicing at us, so I only punished her."

"Apologize," Alpha David insisted sternly, and Luis frowned.

"Father..." Luis tried to refute.

"Now!" Alpha David commanded, emitting a chilling aura. Luis turned to face me, his eyes narrowed, and his thin lips mumbled, "I'm sorry, Mia. Happy now?"

"Yes," I said, and my mother smiled before returning to her seat beside Alpha David.

"The wedding will be held next Saturday. No more excuses, and the four of you will learn to get along," Alpha David stated, looking at me and his triplet sons. He left no room for negotiation.

However, Mom looked at me with concern, and I smiled.

"Don't worry, Mom. I accept the wedding. After all, the Triple L won't bully me again if Alpha David can protect me like a dad," I said, smiling, but the triplets frowned and looked away.

"You're right, Mia. If any of my sons offend you, you should report them to me, and I'll have them punished. You are my daughter, and I'll treat you with all the privileges of a princess. I know your father is still alive, but I'm not going to replace his love for you. I'll only fill his absence in your mother's life here in the White Hills Pack. Alright?" Alpha David said, peering at me lovingly.

"Okay, Alpha. It's nice to have you as my dad," I replied, and Leon kicked my left leg under the table. However, I didn't react to his kick. I smirked at him, knowing they respected their father and wouldn't dare hurt me.

After dinner ended, Alpha David stood up to use the restroom. "My love, come and show me to your room. I'd love to spend the night here and use the bathroom," he said softly to my mother before shifting his gaze to Leon.

"Leon, once you're done, you three can go home if you don't like it here. I had a hectic day at the office, and I can't wait for you three to graduate so I can spend more time with my lover, Lucy," Alpha David said, kissing my mother's left cheek before she rose from her chair.

Mom blushed and looked at me to see if I was worried.

"It's fine, Mom. I like Alpha David. He's so nice. I see why you like him; he's just like Dad," I said, and the mood in the living room shifted at the mention of my dad.

I knew my father hadn't remarried. He was just doing his research abroad and promising Mom he'd be back, but it had been a long time.

"Don't worry, Mia. I'm not going to take Rafael's place in your life, but I swore to treat your mother better," Alpha David said calmly, full of respect for my mother as he crossed his right arm over her shoulder.

"Alright, Alpha. Goodnight," I said, and Alpha David smiled while my mother led him up the stairs. I was left in the dining room with the three bad boys.

"Mia, right? I see you're happy to have our father as your new stepdad?" Luis said after his father left with my mother, as he marched toward me. I moved back to the wall and glared at him.

"If you dare come any closer to me, I'll scream and report you to your father," I warned Luis, and he laughed while the others stayed silent.

"Let her be, Luis. She doesn't know that she belongs to us. She's clueless," Leon chimed in, his gaze lowered as he sat back in his dining chair and pulled out his phone, typing on it.

I looked at Leon's face in shock, wondering how I belonged to them.

"I can't belong to you all. Get that mindset out of your damn brains. If you think I'll ever kneel, bow to you three bad boys, and worship your dïcks, only in your dreams!" I yelled, and they looked stunned, their yellow eyes peering into mine with a glint.

I marched up to the dining table to clear it as the three of them watched me quietly. They watched as I gathered the empty plates to take them to the kitchen.

"Mia, what if you end up doing that—and not just kneeling and worshipping our dïcks, but sucking them too with your mouth and taking it in your cunt?" Liam replied ruthlessly, and my body trembled with a jolt of current as my face turned red.

"Fụck you three! I will never do that! You are all my stepbrothers now, so get those silly thoughts of me sleeping with you, like those gullible girls at the academy have done, out of your brains!" I yelled and cleared the table. However, my mother's concerned voice startled me as she appeared at the top of the stairs.

"Mia, what's wrong?" Mom asked from the balcony upstairs.

"Nothing, Mom," I replied, smiling at her. "We're just discussing academy stuff."

"Alright. Just keep your voice down and show Triple L to the guest rooms if they want to sleep here tonight. Goodnight, boys, and don't do anything silly to your little sister. She can be mean, but trust me, Mia is a sweet girl," Mom said, smiling at us, and the Triple L looked at me.

"It's okay, Chairwoman. We'll take care of Mia and not trouble her," Leon replied, while Mom smiled and wished us goodnight.

"Be a good girl, Mia, and return to your room after showing them to the guest room. Okay?"

"Okay, Mom," I forced a tight smile as my mother went to her room. I then cleared the plates to the kitchen and washed them, trying to waste time and avoid any conversation with the boys. However, I could hear their magnetic voices in the dining room.

"She’s our mate, Leon. How can you accept our father marrying her mom? Dad will not approve of us being with her when the time comes," Luis said, his voice filled with anger.

"The earlier we break up Dad from marrying her mother, the sooner we have her as our mate and mark her," Luis added sharply, making me shiver in the kitchen.

What do they mean by making me their mate and marking me? And how do I belong to them?

I craned my ear further and heard Liam’s response, "Luis is right, big brother. We can't accept Mia as our sister. She has to bear our pups. She knows nothing about our kind, and the earlier we stop that wedding, the sooner we have her under us."

The sponge fell from my hands as I staggered back, trying to understand what Liam and Luis meant by having me under them.

"No way! They can't be thinking of sleeping with me, right?" I muttered, feeling my legs tremble at the thought of it.

I covered my mouth and waited to hear Leon’s response. He said, "She’s listening to us because I can hear her increased heartbeat. She doesn’t like us, and we have to start by making her fall in love with us. That way, we can get her not to reject us and to bear our pups."

"No way! I will never be your slaves or bear your pups. Got it!" I rushed out of the kitchen after yelling at them in the dining room. They frowned, but Leon smiled at me and said, "We’re not in a hurry, Mia. When you turn 18, you’ll be the one to beg for our cóck. Show us to the guest room, little sister."
