All Chapters of An Affair With The Triplets: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

ElaraEverything had gone to hell.An hour later, we were being escorted to the boardroom, and that was all I needed to know to understand that they considered me a threat. And maybe I was, but the situation felt humiliating.As we walked, the guards' footsteps echoed on the marble floor, a cold echo that felt like a sentence. My eyes fell on those of Aiden, Jayden, and Brayden.My mates were serious, avoiding any expression, but I knew very well that one wrong move or one wrong word and they would explode like an old nitrogen bomb.This was all fucking crazy.We walked quickly down the hallway, and I realized that they had already cleared everything out. There was no one around, and that somehow calmed me down. The look they all gave me before was bad, and I didn't feel like dealing with it. When we arrived, the door to the meeting room, a wooden door, opened, and as we entered, it was like walking into a trial.That hit me.I had a damn feeling of déjà vu, and I knew that this time

ElaraMy skin heated up after understanding what the Alpha meant.I frowned and refused immediately.“No,” I said right away, and my father was surprised. “He's not going to be near me.”“There are no options, Elara,” the Alpha said seriously. “You need escorts who won't despair over you.”The triplets growled.You don't need escorts, but they don't know that, Nira muttered humorously.“I'm sorry, but if I can kick his butt, he can't be my escort,” I said without hesitation. Theo opened his eyes in surprise and then growled at me. “Besides, I have a feeling he would finish me off before the others. He can't stand me, he hates me, and he doesn't respect me. I can't let someone like that watch my back.”“Theo is your brother, and—”“It's not,” I said firmly, and everyone looked at me in disbelief. "Let's get one thing straight here and take off the mask, Beta David. I am your biological daughter, but you and I have no relationship whatsoever. It's not me. When I got here, I was ready to

ElaraThe morning air the next day felt fresh and promising, a welcome contrast to the stifling tension of the previous day. After the revelation, the night had been a whirlwind of emotions and silences.Despite the gravity of my situation, the simple act of returning to the routine of the Academy gave me a sense of normalcy that I desperately needed. The triplets, under their father's strict orders, had made sure I arrived safely, but they left me with a promise to stay close.A promise that, after my explosion of power, I did not take lightly.And the novelty was the guards. I knew this because everyone noticed that they were following me, which is why people ran away from me as if I were a leper. I wasn't surprised. That's why I walked around campus aware of the stares of others.Then I saw her.“Elara! Beast of antiquity!” Louisa shouted, suddenly appearing from a berry bush, her blonde hair slightly tousled.She rushed toward me with an energy that managed to dispel the fog of my

ElaraKissing Jayden was so easy that it didn't surprise me.He really gave me a light that I rarely felt genuinely. It was as if I needed a little of his charm to come alive in a resplendent way, and then he did something that surprised me.Jayden stopped kissing me and caressed my cheek tenderly, a tenderness that disarmed me.“You are beautiful, and no matter what the prophecy or the world says, I am yours,” he said before kissing me passionately.It was an unbridled passion, different from what I felt with Brayden.This was more intense, but the love felt like a forest fire burning everything in its path. I was surprised, but then I felt a new barrier break, a different barrier, a barrier that completely isolated me from my mate.Jayden lifted me up in the water, then I wrapped my legs around his waist, and he grabbed the back of my neck firmly and then pulled me so close to him that I almost drowned, but with pleasure. I didn't know what we were doing until he carried me to a lar

ElaraThe academy guards were relentless in their investigation.Fortunately, they found no traces of poison in us, nor any obvious motives for murder.The official version focused on a heart attack or organ failure; the truth, aconite, remained hidden under a thick veil of secrecy from the public.The academy declared several days of mourning due to the professor's importance.I returned to the castle with my mates, feeling the weight of Master Albert's death as a physical burden. He had died for the truth, and I was the only one who knew the gravity of the matter.Three days later, the imposed tranquility was unbearable.I needed to talk, to vent the emotional poison. Just as my anxiety was reaching its peak, my bedroom door opened with a quick, familiar knock.It was Louisa.“I thought the future Luna needed some sunlight and less paranoia,” my friend declared, entering with a paper bag that smelled deliciously of bakery goods.I saw her and felt such deep relief that my knees almo
