Semua Bab An Affair With The Triplets: Bab 21 - Bab 30

ElaraAfter I left the store, I didn't know how many blocks I walked. I only carried the bag with the dresses in my hand, while my heart was beating with a silent rage for the humiliation I had received.The reality was that shame and anger were mixed in a bitter cocktail in my throat. I felt like screaming, crying, and cursing at the same time. I didn't know how to really feel, and it was throwing me off.I finally walked until I came to a small park. I sat on a bench, dresses at my side, taking deep breaths, and tried to calm the storm raging inside me.“You don't usually feel like this,” I told myself to get a grip.After a while, the triplets' van pulled up in front of the park. Brayden and Jayden got out of the car with serious faces but full of concern. Jayden approached me very calmly, as if testing the waters. His eyes met mine, and he said nothing, just offered me his hand while his brother waited patiently.“Let's go home, Elara,” Jayden said in a tone of voice so soft it di

ElaraThe tension was suffocating the four of us, but it was Jayden who bravely broke the spell. His eyes returned to their normal color, though an intense gleam remained in them. With a soft smile, he stepped forward and extended his hand toward me.“May I have this piece, Elara?” asked Jayden in a whisper I could barely hear over the music coming from the ballroom. “I would be honored to be your partner in crime tonight.”The phrase made me smile, but I can't keep my eyes from moving to the other triplets, Aiden and Brayden. They both nodded in agreement with the invitation. Their faces reflected the same silent admiration, and they politely smiled back at me.It seemed to be a mixture of support and pride.A warm feeling spread throughout my body, from my fingers to my toes.It was the kind of warmth that melted away fear and insecurity.I accepted Jayden's hand, letting him lead me into the ballroom. His fingers intertwined with mine in a simple gesture, but one that meant everyth

ElaraBeta David's hand was still holding me tightly so that I remained seated next to him, and anger bubbled in my veins like lava. I had to control my whole body not to attack him.So I remained seated, my eyes fixed on a point beyond them, thinking of all the ways I could get Tracy to Theo, but waiting for the wave of tension to pass at once so I could get the hell away from the table.Theo's and Tracy's laughter quickly dissipated, and finally silence took over the table again. Lauren started talking about things I had no idea about, so I ignored it all. After a few minutes, I tried to get up again.Beta David's hand tightened on my arm again, stopping me in my tracks.I looked at his fingers in disgust and then looked him in the eye angrily.“I can't even go to the bathroom, Father?” I asked sarcastically, my voice low but laden with venom.My gaze challenged him directly, defying his control over me.Tracy, who had been watching me with a cruel smile, sneered.“Of course you can

ElaraThe tremors in my hands were slow to stop, and although I forced myself to take a deep breath, the air entering my lungs felt very heavy. The anger had faded, leaving a hollowness that fear filled completely.I struggled to answer Aiden's question; the words stuck in my throat, and I felt like, if I tried to speak, the fear would spill over in a torrent of tears.The truth was that I was not well.My heart was still beating with the force of a drum, and the memory of Adrik, of his face, was stressing me out. Adrik had hurt me in ways much deeper than I wanted to bury. He was to blame for my not feeling my wolf. His betrayal was not just a deception; it was an attack on my essence, a wound so deep it made me doubt who I was.My she-wolf's voice, once so sure and strong, had become a distant whisper, and the fear of never feeling her again haunted me day and night.I would never be okay, and seeing Adrik again confirmed it for me.Part of me wanted to tell Aiden, to confess to him

Elara“It's okay, Father, I was just working out with Elara,” Brayden said, and the Alpha arched his eyebrows.The man looked at his son in a way that surprised me; it was as if the Alpha Kaelen was telling him something, and maybe he was, but I felt uncomfortable. In contrast, Jayden didn't wait for the Alpha to speak.Jayden's face was a mask of restrained fury; his eyes shone with a disappointment that broke my heart. And I didn't understand why he had that attitude. Without a word, he turned and walked quickly away.His silence was more deafening than any scream.I didn't understand why the sneer on his back left an emptiness in my chest.Aiden, on the other hand, approached Brayden quickly. Unlike Jayden, Aiden's look was one of serious disapproval. He didn't yell at him, he didn't scold him, he simply put a firm hand on his brother's shoulder and led him out of the room.It was easy to deduce that his expression told Brayden everything he needed to know.When the triplets left,
