Lahat ng Kabanata ng MATED TO THREE, DESPISED BY ALL. : Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

Melissa.“Trust me, Melissa, it’s not what you think it is.”Louis’ voice pulled me out of my spiraling thoughts instantly.I blinked slowly, forcing myself back to reality as I stared at him. The intensity in his eyes only made my chest tighten further, and suddenly, I desperately needed to change the topic before I completely embarrassed myself.I plastered a smile onto my face.One that hopefully looked natural enough.“You probably haven’t eaten dinner, right?” I asked suddenly, my voice softer than intended as my gaze wandered everywhere except his face.The walls, the hallway, just anywhere but his eyes.“Yes, I haven’t,” he replied.Then, before I could even think of escaping the conversation again, he grabbed my shoulders gently, forcing my attention back to him.My breath hitched instantly.“Do you mind joining me?” he asked, a mischievous smile slowly spreading across his face.And gosh…that smile should honestly be illegal because I wanted to stay upset, at least for a lit

Caleb.I felt uneasy the moment Melissa approached us.Something about the determined look in her eyes immediately put me on edge. I knew her well enough to recognize when she had already made up her mind about something, and right now, every instinct inside me screamed that she was up to no good.But never, not even for a second did I expect her to ask for a rejection.Was she insane?The mate bond wasn’t some meaningless connection that could simply be discarded like trash. It was sacred, powerful and dangerous.There could be consequences.Severe ones.Yet there she stood, speaking about breaking it like it was nothing.My jaw tightened instantly.Earlier before she asked for a rejection, images flashed through my mind against my will.It was that of Melissa kissing Davian.The memory alone sent something ugly twisting inside my chest again. Earlier, when I saw them together, all I wanted was to punish her a little for daring to kiss my cousin so openly.So I kissed Amelia instead.

Caleb.My heart was beating far too fast.The moment my brothers arrived and stood before me, fuming furiously, reality hit me all at once.What the hell had I just done?I swallowed hard as Cain and Cypril glared at me with expressions so dark it made tension crawl down my spine instantly.Even the air around us suddenly felt heavy.My palms became sweaty despite how cold the evening breeze was. The chill in the environment should have cooled me down, yet my body only grew warmer with panic.Because for the first time, I was afraid. Afraid that I was really going to lose my mate this time, all because of my foolish ego.Shit.I had only been trying to spite her, trying to prove a point, trying to show Melissa that she couldn’t simply throw us away like we meant nothing.I wanted to watch her beg, and tell me she was just bluffing.But now?It wasn't what I expected because now everything felt dangerously out of control.My gaze shifted toward Amelia instantly, and honestly, it took e

Cypril.Caleb was definitely stupid.Because it was painfully obvious that even he did not truly want to reject Melissa yet somehow, he always spoke before thinking.Always acting impulsively without considering the consequences of his actions.“Rejecting her is only giving her the luxury of whoring around, Caleb!” Cain snapped instantly.The irritation in his voice was impossible to miss and honestly, I knew that anger wasn’t directed only at Melissa, most of it was for Caleb because right now, he was making an already terrible situation even worse.But Caleb only scoffed proudly.“Then let us give her the freedom to officially earn the label of a whore,” he said coldly, his lips curling into a smug smile as he folded his arms against his chest.“Once she becomes a REJECT,” he continued, “let’s see who dares to accept her as a mate.”I immediately rolled my eyes internally at how unbelievably dumb he sounded.Did he seriously think no one would want Melissa?Was he blind?Completely

Louis.I was right about one thing—the moment Melissa found out the triplets were staying here for longer, she completely lost it.And honestly, I couldn’t even blame her.The look on her face earlier had said everything—the shocj, frustration and desperation.She hadn’t even bothered replying to me before turning away and walking off quickly, leaving me standing there feeling completely helpless. And I had no choice but to return to my room.I ran a hand roughly through my hair before sitting down heavily on the bed.The room suddenly felt unusually quiet.“What do we do now?” I asked my wolf internally, hoping for some sort of suggestion.Anything, because at this point, my thoughts were completely muddled, and nothing made sense anymore.My wolf on the other hand remained silent, and somehow, that silence unsettled me more than anything else.He was conflicted too, I could feel it clearly—the possessiveness, the fear and the sudden appearance of our fated mate.It was all becoming
