Chapter 5

Tonia's POV:

I pulled the bedsheet to cover my chest as Alpha John stood at the door and shut it heavily. His brown eyes glared daggers at me. He strode to my bed to meet me, while I shifted back, afraid that he was going to strangle me to death.

"What hold do you have on my brothers and me? Make it stop!" he growled at me, but James stepped out of the bathroom, tying my towel around himself, and ordered his brother, "Cut it out, John. She is not to be accused. Just let her be. I believe when we find our mate, it will end. If you don't want her, you can leave."

I was supposed to feel better, but hearing James mention finding his mate hurt me. I wanted the three of them to pleasure me alone, to become their Luna. Why couldn't they choose me? My lips trembled as I tried to croak out the words, "Why can't I be your mate?"

John's expression darkened, but James laughed and walked up to pick up his shorts. As he dressed up, he looked up at me on the bed and said, "You're not befitting to be our Luna. You're nothing but a maid."

Tears slipped from my eyes, and I tried to muster up courage as I said, "I want to be a physiotherapist. I never wanted to be a maid, but my parents couldn't sponsor my education."

James's expression darkened as he said, "Even though you're a physiotherapist, you do not expect my brothers and me to make you our Luna. It's not possible. John will have a separate mate to be Luna, while Julian and I will have our own separate mates. You're only a plaything to us, so stop dreaming about becoming our Luna. This is not a fantasy, but our reality, Tonia. You're our sex slave, so stop daydreaming."

James buckled up his shirt, unaware of how deeply his words had broken me.

John stood speechless, watching James dress up.

"I don't want to do this anymore. You and Julian have to stop coming here after today," John said, his rut becoming worse. His sèxual pheromones made me wet on the bed.

"Got it. Probably we should sack her, because if Julian comes here to sleep with her, I cannot help but want to take her too," James said, once he was done dressing up in my room as he buttoned his shirt.

Alpha John nodded and said, "I will settle it. Inform Mom and Dad that I went to take care of something. I need to get this done with her." His eyes shifted to look at me as his rut had taken full control of his brain. I wanted to get away from them, to go to the bathroom and cry my eyes out, but Alpha John caught my arm and pulled me back to his chest.

"Where are you going?" he asked, his eyes watching me as he towered over me. He was an identical triplet to his brothers, except for his brownish hair color compared to his brothers' dark hair. His hand held mine, and I tried to croak out words, "I want to bathe."

"Mmm," he hummed and said, "Why are you crying?"

His hand raked my face as he wiped off my tears and said, "What do you want? To become the Luna?"

I raised my head and looked up at Alpha John's face. His voice was soft as we were left alone in his room. What was he up to? Why was he speaking to me softly?

"I…" I tried to reply, but I didn't know what to say to him.

"Answer me," he ordered, but I didn't know what to say to him.

Before I could respond, Alpha John carried me and placed me on the bed. "You shouldn't dream of what is not yours. Just this once, Tonia, and we will end it, alright."

I couldn't say anything. His lips claimed mine, kissing me more than before, like it was the last kiss I would be getting. He trailed his lips on my neck, my shoulder, my arms, and settled on my chest. His lips worked on my nìpples, kissing me and licking all over my body like it was treasure.

After that, he settled for my intimate area, despite his two brothers having taken turns with me. Alpha John took his time, slowly, as his tongue worked magic on my honeypot. He sucked on it and licked me to climax.

I forgot my pain for a moment. I forgot the painful words that he and his brothers had said about not making me their Luna. I forgot that Alpha John didn't like me. When he was done, he ordered me to sit on him and ride him like a cowgirl.

I obeyed him; he was handsome, hot, and I wanted to please him. I wanted to be next to him since he was the oldest Alpha, but he didn't want to keep me. His eyes were distant, like he was filled with troubled thoughts.

I crossed over him on my bed, settling on his masculine body and his waist. He angled me and thrust into me, riding me in his room as we moaned to the climax.

Alpha John wasn't done; once he climaxed, he placed his mark on my neck, just like his brothers had. Though he said I wasn't his mate, that didn't stop him from marking me too.

Once he was done, he didn't push me off the bed like he always did. He held me to his chest like he didn't want to part from me, like he didn't want this to end, but he whispered into my left ear, "It's for the best, Tonia. Don't hate us. My brothers and I would have kept you if we weren't Alphas. But it will be wrong for us to keep you as our sex slave and make another woman the Luna. Do you want money to move on? I can give you any amount that you need."

Tears flowed down my cheeks as I sat on Alpha John's thighs. "I don't want to leave you guys," I cried, but he pushed me off the bed and said, "We cannot continue doing this. I will write you a check for 5 million. It's more than your salary with its 100,000 monthly. Take it and leave, unless you will end up getting hurt. And don't think that you can threaten my brothers or report us to our parents. You will only end up in jail. So do what's right." He said this as he walked away from me and went to the bathroom to wash himself.

I sat on my bed crying, as I didn't want to leave them. I wanted to be their mate, their Luna, but Alpha John came out, put on his clothes, and said, "I will send Madam Penelope to give you the receipt. Let today be the last day that we mate, Tonia. Leave."

Alpha John finished buttoning his shirt and left my room. I sat on the bed crying, knowing that I had dreamt foolishly of being with them.
