2 - Trio's warning

[Svetlana’s pov]

I wanted to move away from them but coming to the house and refusing their so-called warm gesture was not something I could afford. Reluctantly I nodded and walked with the trio towards the left arcade. Why would the triplets offer to walk me towards my room? Something was definitely not right and I could not trust them with anything. 

Just as we walked towards the end of the arcade and were out of the sight of everyone else. A strong arm grabbed my wrist and twisted it behind my back. I was caught off guard and could not even utter anything. What the heck was happening? My arm was tucked above my butt when Raihan pushed me against the wall.

“What are you doing?” Somehow I managed to speak with my trembling lips but the confusion was written on my face. Raihan moved closer and placed his one leg between mine and forcefully spread them. I could feel my heart thumping in my ears upon seeing how dangerously close he was. Absolutely hot too!

“What do you think you are doing?” His assertive yet sexy voice rang in my ears and I felt like they would soon bleed. My eyes reflexively travelled towards the other two brothers. To my surprise they both stood there with arms folded and enjoyed the show. Zuhan was leaning against the wall with one leg tucked. 

Whereas Sahan stood there with an amusing smile as if he was mocking me. How could the guys shift their attitude like this, like chameleons? I was still in a daze when Raihan clutched my wrist more which made me wince. My attention again drifted to him and I stared into his icy cold blue eyes. He was throwing spades of anger at me. 

For some reason I could feel something in my gut for the first time. Was I feeling those notorious butterflies which girls talk about? “What…what do you mean?” My voice stumbled as Raihan’s glaring eyes continued to look at me. I was already on the verge of breaking with that unusual feeling when he bent over even more.

Raihan lifted his other hand and smashed it on the wall with force. No matter how hard I tried to appear confident and unafraid of the trio I could not. My body jolted with fright when he pulled me closer to the point that my breasts were tucked with his hard chest. My anxious eyes stared into his eyes when Raihan’s lips grazed over mine. 

“Do you really think we wouldn’t see through this sweet facade of yours?” His voice held a visible anger and resentment towards me. However, I had no idea what he was talking about but it seemed something serious. “You cannot fool us with this pretty face of yours.” He traced his knuckles on my cheek, making me gasp.

Sahan and Zuhan kept quiet as they both perhaps waited for me to say anything. Meanwhile I was stunned at his audacity and the accusation of unknown matter made me numb. “I have no idea what you are talking about. Please leave me.” With a futile attempt I tried to push him away but couldn’t as Raihan pulled me even closer.

“Leave you?” This time Zuhan spoke while Raihan lifted me and shifted the position. Zuhan walked up to me and placed both of his hands over my waist. “We didn’t hold to leave you, stepsister.” I couldn’t help but wonder why he stressed over the addressing. Now I was sandwiched between both of them when Sahan also jumped in the picture.

What were these alpha brothers intending to do with me? Sahan walked to my right side and turned my face towards him by holding my chin. “Now that you dared to actually come and be a part of our family. You cannot leave this city without our permission, not without receiving your punishment.” What were they even talking about? 

“But I didn't even want to come.” Why was I giving explanations to them? I tried to shake Zuhan and Raihan who were holding me. I could feel the warmth of their bodies and their crotch touching my body. The awkward position was making everything difficult. “What punishment? I was against this whole idea. It isn’t my fault, talk to your dad.” 

I burst out in anger because how could I let those 3 bully me once again. However, having no clue what was going to come ahead I boldly dared to offend all of them. “You! It hasn't been an hour and you are already showing your true colours. Turning us against our father, huh?” Raihan’s grip around my wrist tightened, making me wince loudly.

“What? No…I….” My words were left in between when I heard Alpha Zaro’s voice. He was walking towards the same arcade, when the boys heard him they immediately left me. My sniffles came up as my eyes got filled with tears with the pain in my wrist. But the boys were still not merciful when Raihan grabbed my jaw and glared.

“If you dared to say a word, Svetlana, I will make sure your stay here becomes hell.” He threatened while the other two moved away from me with a smirk. Alpha Zaro appeared in the arcade and I hid my wrist behind. “Oh? Your mother and I have decided that today we all are going to dine out. All of you should be ready by eight.” 

Somehow I managed to control my tears and smiled when Alpha Zaro looked at me. “We want to welcome you properly, Svetlana. This is for you, welcome to our family.” His tone was genuinely warm and I couldn’t help but wonder what bad I had done to the trio. Nonetheless, the alpha went away and I rushed towards the other corridor.

Running in my own thoughts I bumped into Saikus who appeared out of nowhere. “Watch out, sis.” He held me by shoulders and stared with affection. I wanted to blurt out everything to him just because he was my brother. Despite my tries I couldn’t do so because till the time I was there I needed to stay good. Affording a beef with the triplets wasn’t a good idea. 

“Let me show you the room. Since we are going to dinner tonight and you might not have anything to wear on such occasions; mom has already set your wardrobe.” I could hear Saikus speaking but his words seemed not to reach me properly. I was in my own thoughts recalling what just happened and it made me feel uncomfortable. 

Clutching the hem of my shirt I gulped down my fears knowing that I had to stay away from the trio as long as I was there. “Here….be ready at eight sharp. See you later, sis.” Saikus dropped me to my room, my mom’s room along with the office and dining hall were to the left. While the rooms of all children were in the right wing of the villa.

Something unsettling filled me knowing that the triplets could always approach me. However, I walked inside my room which was decorated just how I might have liked it. Not super teen stuff and not boring like an elderly lady. Pushing my body inside I closed the door and slumped in the bed. Not knowing when did I fall asleep due to tiredness. 

Waking up after a few hours I had no idea that only 10 mins were left till eight. “Oh, shucks!” There was no time to change so I hurriedly towards the attached washroom and washed my face. Combing hair I cleaned the smudge or my eyeliner when a knock occurred on the door. “Coming!” I yelled while applying lipstick hurriedly. 

As soon as I opened the door Zuhan was standing, more like leaning against the door. He stared at me from head to toe with no expression on his face. “That soon?” What? I couldn’t understand his obvious meaning. Zuhan lifted his hand and held my chin, leaving me off guard as to what was coming. Oh my goodness!

I could feel his heated stare on my lips while being oblivious to what his intentions were. Maybe I knew but didn’t want to admit it. Zuhan traced his thumb beneath my lower lip, only if I knew he cleaned the lipstick underneath. “Perfect!” His blue eyes met mine with satisfaction as he went away. I couldn’t help but shake my head in irritation. 

Nonetheless, I headed out towards the main ingress and saw everyone  there. “Come, Svetlana. We were waiting for you, Saikus will go with us, you should be aboard with the trio.” Alpha Zaro informed me as I glanced at the triplets who stood in front of a posh vehicle. Mom, alpha Zaro and Saikus were going with a driver as Saikus was underaged to drive.

I could sense that they wanted me to get along with the trio as we had a visible tension between us. “Oh, sure.” Forcing a smile on my face I headed towards the triplets and Sahan opened the door for me. As soon as I seated myself in the back Zuhan came from the other side. Raihan was driving and the whole way all of them ignored my existence. 

We reached the desired high end restaurant and the brothers walked towards the entrance. I was left alone in the vehicle assuming that this time someone will open the door too. “Shucks! I forgot the alpha isn’t here at the moment. Hah! Why would they bother with ethics?” Getting out of the car I walked towards the ingress when a woman pushed me.

“Watch out you bum!” An arrogant yelling in a fake accent resonated behind me. I immediately turned around only to see a brunette dressed in money from head to toe. Before I could respond to her she went inside leaving me speechless. Reluctantly I walked inside shaking my head. Hoping that the dinner won’t be bad enough.
