The Triplet Alphas Are My Mates! のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

AXELI followed her scent before I even realized I was moving. The moment I caught that faint trace of her, it was like my body stopped listening to my brain.She’d left the council building in emotion, and none of us had been able to calm her. Zade wanted to chase after her first, but Roman stopped him, saying she needed space, and I had agreed at the time. But the longer she was gone, the more something inside me twisted.And then I caught another scent.Cassian’s.My chest tightened instantly. He was near her again.So I ran faster.The lake appeared through the trees soon enough. Ava stood by the edge, her hair moving with the breeze. She looked small, almost fragile, staring into the water like it was showing her something only she could see.Cassian was across from her, on the other side.He had his hands in his pockets, he looked calm as ever, and his posture was too relaxed for someone who had no business being near her.“Step away from her,” I called out sharply.Cassian didn

AVACassian stepped forward before I could speak. His calmness was unsettling, and it was almost as if he’d been expecting this.“Blake,” he greeted smoothly, extending a hand. “It’s been a long time.”Blake smiled, though it didn’t reach his eyes. “Too long.”Their handshake wasn’t friendly. The air around them filled with tension until Cassian quietly said, “The past must remain buried.”Blake’s grin shook a little. “Of course. We’re all here for peace now, aren’t we?”Cassian didn’t answer. He only turned to me, his expression turning softer. “Shall we?”I followed him up the marble steps, trying not to think about Blake.***The summit hall was bigger than I imagined. Rows of seats circled a raised platform where members of the Council sat. Cameras were set up in the corners of the room, and every whisper felt too loud.Cassian led me to the front, walking confidently. He wasn’t too fast or too slow. He just moved in a way that made everyone’s gaze follow him, and by extension, me

AVA“I didn’t sign anything.”That was the first thing that came out of my mouth, and it was loud enough to echo around the whole place.Every head turned to me. Cassian stood calmly in the center, holding the document high. He didn’t even flinch at my outburst.“Miss Ava,” one of the elders said carefully, “your signature is clearly here.”“It’s not—” I moved closer and shook my head so hard it made my vision blur. “It’s not possible. I never signed anything.”Cassian lifted the document between two fingers, smiling faintly. “And yet, here it is.”He walked forward and handed it to the elders. My name was written in clean, bold letters at the bottom. It was my handwriting, and it was perfect, down to the little loop I always made at the end of the “a.”My heart pounded.Roman stepped up beside me. “You’re lying,” he said to Cassian. “You forged it.”Cassian didn’t look offended. If anything, he looked bored. “I don’t forge,” he said simply. “I simply negotiate.”Zade walked forward n

AVAI stood there, half-dressed, half-ashamed, my heart pounding so loud I was sure Cassian could hear it. He leaned against the doorframe casually, like walking in on that moment hadn’t been the most humiliating thing that had ever happened to me.“Get out,” I said, my voice breaking even though I tried to sound strong.Cassian didn’t move. His eyes moved over the room, lingering on the rumpled sheets, the triplets’ glares, and then me. Then looked into my eyes and spoke softly. “I apologize. I didn’t mean to intrude.”I almost laughed at how calm he was while I was falling apart inside. “You didn’t mean to intrude? You just—“Roman cut me off, stepping in front of me. “You heard her. Leave.”Cassian tilted his head slightly. “Of course.” He looked at me once more before turning away. “Forgive the interruption, Ava. You must know that I don’t take pleasure in your discomfort.”And then he was gone.The door shut behind him, and for a second, all I could do was stare. The sound of his

AVAThe flash of cameras overwhelmed me the second I stepped into the ballroom. It felt like walking into a thousand suns. The light bounced off the golden chandeliers, catching every jewel, and every sequined dress. My whole body was tense, but I forced myself to smile.Cassian stood beside me, his expression calm in a way that made me both angry and weirdly comforted. His suit was dark and perfectly tailored.“Smile,” he murmured without looking at me.“I am smiling,” I whispered back through clenched teeth.“Convincingly,” he added, his lips twitching slightly.If anyone else had said it, I might have laughed. But with him, every word carried something hidden underneath.Around us, voices filled the air: whispers, gasps, and the occasional too-loud comment about “the Queensblood and her envoy.” I could feel the jealousy dripping from some of the female nobles and the envious curiosity from the men. They wanted to know what I was and what we were.The Council had made sure the worl
