Semua Bab THE TRIPLET ALPHAS’ HUMAN MATE : Bab 21 - Bab 30

AVA’S POV.I felt like my heart had been scattered into a million pieces as I walked along the quiet, dark road. The betrayal from Lisa felt like a sharp stab to my heart. I loved her sincerely, and I knew they did not care about her. They were just friends with her to piss me off. Gripping the almost empty bottle tightly, I took another swig of alcohol, numbing the pain momentarily but worsening the nausea churning in my stomach. I cursed myself for not accepting Tiana’s offer to take me home.“Hey dear, wait up,” a voice called out.“Brian! Thank goodness.” My heart leapt with relief at the sound, thinking it was Brian coming to my rescue. But as the figure drew nearer, I realised it was not him.“Who are you?” I asked, my senses dulled by the alcohol.The stranger approached with an unsettling grin, his outstretched hand making me recoil in fear. I tried to maintain my composure, but the unease in my gut only grew stronger.Before I could respond, he insisted on taking me home, his

AVA’S POVStudents were whispering and pointing at me as I entered the hallway, the whispering grew louder as I walked further into the hallway . What was it this time?My breath caught in my throat when I saw it. Hideous caricatures of me were plastered across the hallway walls, exaggerated sketches of my face beside copies of my drawings. Red paint was splashed across them with cruel words written in bold letters.Worthless Artist.Trash Drawings.Low born.Unclaimed stray.I stood frozen as laughter echoed around me. My vision blurred instantly, tears burning behind my eyes. It felt like someone had ripped my heart out and pinned it to the walls for everyone to destroy.I let out a shaky breath before ripping one of the posters off the wall violently.Then another.And another.I tore them down frantically while tears streamed down my face. I didn’t even care that everyone was watching me break apart in the middle of the hallway.Eventually, my knees gave out beneath me.I collap

AVA’S POV.Kris turned toward me, his eyes widening in shock when he realized I had seen everything. He immediately let go of Tiana and took a step toward me, like he wanted to explain himself, but I turned away before he could say a word and hurried out of the shopping mall.“Ava, please wait… " It’s not what it looks like,” Kris pleaded as he ran after me.I ignored him and walked faster, refusing to listen to another lie.“Ava, please,” he said again, and this time I stopped abruptly.“What?” I snapped, spinning around to face him.“I can explain,” he pleaded desperately.I folded my arms and raised an eyebrow. “Then explain.”Kris shifted nervously from one foot to the other. “I… uh…” he stammered helplessly.I let out a hollow laugh and nodded slowly. “That’s what I thought.” My voice cracked slightly despite my effort to sound cold. “There’s nothing for you to explain to me. We may be mates, but we are not in love.” I took a shaky breath. “I’m just confused about one thing. Why

AVA’S POV.I held my coffee cup close to my skin. The warmth of the coffee was the only sensation I could feel right now. I could not believe I had been so stupid as not to see this coming. I wanted to cry, to scream, to punch something, even to destroy something. But here I was, sitting in the coffee shop next to the person who had made a fool out of me.Tiana tried to hold my hands, but I withdrew.“When were you going to tell me?” I asked. “I was going to tell you, but I was worried you were not going to like it,” Tiana said shyly.“At least you got one thing right,” I rolled my eyes, staring at the passersby moving along the street.“Look, I never chose any of this. My parents thought our union would bring unity among our pack and make us stronger,” Tiana explained. “I have been betrothed to Kris since the day I was born, and I grew to love him.”I scoffed. “Is that supposed to make me feel better? You lied to me, Tiana. You acted like you were my friend, and I trusted you.”Tian

COLLIN’S POV. I hung out in the lobby, waiting for Ava to finish her class so I could chat with her. I held onto the flower I had picked along my way to school. Glancing at my watch, I realised she would be out in just three minutes. I stole a quick glance at myself in the mirror, making sure I looked presentable, and checked my breath, wanting everything to be just right when she arrived.Ava finally emerged from her class, looking as beautiful as always. Excitedly, I waved and called out to her, “Hey, Princess! How was your class?” But as I approached her, I noticed she did not seem quite pleased to see me.Ava responded coolly, “Oh, hey. Class was fine.” She gave a small smile, but it didn't reach her eyes.“Is everything okay?” I asked.Ava hesitated before replying, “Yeah, everything’s fine. I just… I have to go.” she said, excusing herself from my presence.I stood in front of her, “Are you mad at me?” I pouted. Ava sighed, crossing her arms. "Even if I am, why does it matter
