Lahat ng Kabanata ng An Affair With The Triplets: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

ElaraThe smell of antiseptic surrounded me, and I frowned.When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a ceiling, white and lifeless. That made me react quickly, and I finally woke up, my heart racing and my body shaking.A strange mixture of anxiety and pain consumed me voraciously.The last image I remembered was Theo, my vomit on his damn expensive shoes.That made me sigh, and then the memories stirred like turbulence in my brain, and I quickly felt panic.I jumped up.At that moment, I realized that the room I had been brought to was a cubicle in the academy infirmary. I checked outside, and there was no one there; not even Louisa was nearby, although I couldn't say for sure because the antiseptic meant I couldn't smell anyone.I sighed, but it didn't help. Fear settled in my stomach again.I couldn't stay at the academy another minute. The truth was, I was afraid to see my mates. I was afraid of going crazy and my body reacting in ways I couldn't control.I was afraid of m

ElaraThe air on Monday morning felt fresh and clean, very different.For the first time in days, I didn't have a lump in my throat, and that felt good.Sunday, the day I feared most, had passed in a silence that was not uncomfortable but one filled with a strange peace. The triplets hadn't come to my room, hadn't knocked on my door, and had given me time to digest my discomfort.They had no real idea what was going on with me, but something must have been said to them by Aiden that finally made the three of them decide to give me the space I deserved.That's why I felt more relaxed that Monday. I was ready to go to the academy, and when I left my room, Luna Kate was waiting for me in the hallway. I was surprised to see her, and she smiled.“Good morning, Elara, Are you ready?” she asked calmly.“Good morning,” I replied respectfully. “I'm ready to go. Is something wrong?”“No,” Luna said immediately. “Nothing's wrong; it's just that my children had to leave early with their father, a

JaydenThe tingling sensation of anger had settled in my fists and jaw, and I found myself in one of the side hallways, trying not to lose my damn mind. My friends didn't stop at confronting Elara, but Iris tried to approach me at the lockers after that.She didn't take no for an answer.“You're being an idiot,” she said, and I looked at her with annoyance.“I'm doing what I have to do,” I said firmly. “For someone who loves madly, you seem incapable of understanding what my damn problem is.”“I love Sammy, but I'm not blind because I don't have a damn bond that I have to share with my brothers,” Iris said, and I growled. “Don't get upset because I'm telling the truth. It's reality, and I think maybe Dan is right, and Elara could take advantage of it.”“You don't know my mate, you don't know shit, and I think it's awful that you, being as open-minded as you are, turn out to be so narrow-minded,” I said disappointedly. “If you're smart, you won't come near me, and you'll make sure no o

ElaraAiden discovering us only meant he was in trouble.But she wasn't stupid. If neither of us opened our mouths and admitted what we were really doing in the area, we could get away unscathed.“I think we'd better go to the library and—”“Come into this room,” Aiden said. “Come on.”We went in at his request, not out of fear; really, we just wanted to calm him down.I took a seat and my friend sat down next to me, then he looked at us as if we were little girls.“I already told you I'm not an idiot,” Aiden said, and I smiled, just to annoy him. “What were you doing in that area?”“We were just walking, gossiping, and talking. Is that bad?” Louisa asked cleverly.“Don't play dumb,” Aiden said. “Talk.”“Nothing's going on,” I said firmly.He can smell you, he can sense the changes in your body, and if you lie to him, so be more confident and distract him. If he sees you flirting with him, he'll stop thinking so much about questioning you, Nira said.You're brilliant.I know, that's w

Elara“That decision is stupid,” he said in a way that I found insulting. "The fact that you decide about us is an absurd, foolish decision and something I will never understand. The point of being soulmates is that we can not only know each other but also support each other and, more than that, be each other's pillar. The fact that you have three pillars you could lean on, but you don't want to lean on them because you're afraid of what some damn old book says... it's disappointing."“You can't judge me for being afraid that you'll die. Don't you understand that?”“Yes, I understand that, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still disappointing to realize that you wouldn't risk everything, when I'm sure that my brothers and I would do so without hesitation,” he said with a severity that made me open my mouth in disbelief.“I can't believe you're taking this attitude.”“I can't believe you're the one giving up without checking the facts,” he said so angrily that I could see the
