Semua Bab THE TRIPLET ALPHAS’ HUMAN MATE : Bab 31 - Bab 40

AVA’S POV. “What’s the problem, child?” Mrs. Brown asked while I was washing the dishes at the packhouse. Their scent still lingered in the kitchen, making it hard not to think of them.“Nothing,” I replied, shaking my head frantically.“Are you sure? You’ve been staring at the same plate for over five minutes,” Mrs. Brown said, lifting her brows toward the plate.“Huh… nothing… I’m fine,” I answered, rinsing off the plate.“Okay, but if you need someone to talk to, I’m here for you,” Mrs. Brown said.I nodded. “Thank you,” I said.I wondered if it was safe to talk to Mrs. Brown about it, especially now that it had become increasingly hard for me to trust people who were not secretly against me. But Mrs. Brown was like a warm presence in my life, and I felt like I could trust her. She was like a mother figure to me, plus I was also deadly curious.“Uh… is it okay if I ask you a question?” I began shyly.“Of course, child. You can,” Mrs. Brown said, turning her attention to me.“Uhm…

DANTE’S POV. I grunt and pant as I punch the punching bag with force, exercising all my anger into it. What did my father think I was going to do? Accept a girl I do not love or care about? I was the family’s disappointment for a reason, and I was not going to accept a stupid marriage.My father has always been one who desired nothing but more power and attention. Growing our pack’s territory and making it more powerful was all our dad cared about; it was next to the love my dad had for my late mom or maybe higher. Moonlight pack has always been stronger than the rest; our soldiers have taken down at least three fully transformed werewolves while still in our human form. So naturally, we were sought out by everyone; everyone wanted an alliance with us because that meant they were also untouchable. But while we were stronger, we also lacked the resources that my father deemed right for our pack. So Tiana’s father was a good business partner. We offered him the protection that he lack

KRIS’ POV.Forty five minutes had dragged by since I arrived, I glanced at my watch for what felt like the hundredth time, cursing under my breath at Tiana's Lateness. Papa had insisted on this date, hoping it would help us bond and strengthen our relationship. He had spared no expense, booking us a table at one of the city’s finest restaurants. Tiana's phone beeped and there was a message from Justin that she had saved with a kiss emoji, a name I was familiar with. I frowned at the thought. I told myself not to go through the message that it was an invasion of privacy, but my curiosity got the better of me and I opened the chat. My jaw clenched as I read through the message, they were flirting with each other and there was a text where she made fun of me. I heard her coming and I left the phone on the table. “Hi Babe,” Tiana smiled and spun around. “How do you like my new look?”“I love it,” I said, forcing a smile. I always suspected Tiana wasn’t keeping her end of the deal. The

AVA’S POV. I arrived at the pack house and immediately dove into my work, trying to distract myself. However, my mom’s words kept echoing in my mind. She was right; I should have told her about my mate earlier. I hesitated because I felt too embarrassed to admit that my mate did not want anything to do with me. They were bullies, and I believed there was little chance they would ever like me. I don’t blame my mom, though. It’s Tiana whom I blame. She exploited the weaknesses in my relationship with my mom and used them to manipulate her. Tiana is way ahead in this game, and I need to find a way to expose her lies. I was still cleaning the hallway when I heard the front door open. Instantly, panic set in because I knew who it was. It was Kris. The triplets shouldn’t be here during my working hours. I racked my brain trying to figure out where to hide. Not knowing what else to do, I ran into the next room. It was only after I entered that I realised I had made a grave mistake. This

AVA’S POV.I pretended to be asleep just so I could avoid looking at Kris after I had practically embarrassed myself in front of him. What was I even thinking? One little kiss, and I had been ready to throw myself at him completely.Once I was sure he was asleep, I carefully lifted his arm off my waist and slipped out of bed. My clothes were scattered across the floor, and the sight alone made heat crawl up my neck again.God. I had practically offered myself to him.For one reckless moment, I had wanted him to mark me as his mate, wanted it badly enough to forget everything else. But of course he couldn’t because of some werewolf obligation my human brain could barely understand.I quietly opened the bedroom door and peeked into the hallway, my heart hammering as I checked if anyone was around. When I was sure the coast was clear, I tiptoed through the pack house, clutching my heels in one hand like a criminal sneaking out after a one-night stand.Humiliating.I was almost at the fro
