Samarah's Pov
When I came out of Ash's room, I saw Zack and Owen, who were standing in front of the door while looking at me with those gossipy looks.
"What did he say?" Zack asked with a gentle and soothing voice, probably guessing that my emotions were turmoil.
I let out a heavy sigh and massaged my temples. "Didn't the two of you hear it?"
For sure, these two were eavesdropping but were trying to act like they didn't.
Owen rolled his eyes. "We couldn't hear it. After all, Ash's room is soundproof. Even if the two of you would f**k each other like you did back then, we wouldn't hear it."
Embarrassment creeped into my cheeks and at the two of them who were laughing. "Shut up! If you said that Ash's room is soundproof, why did you know?!"
"We guessed it, but who would have thought that you would bait the trap?" Zack said while chuckling, making me glare at them again from embarrassment.
I suddenly forgot my anger from earlier because of them.
It seemed that they were deliberately doing this to ease my emotions. I was grateful to them for doing that, but that doesn't mean I wasn't embarrassed that they knew!
Back then, when I accepted their hand and followed them to their pack, that night was also my head since I had been turning eighteen at that time.
Suppose that, during our heat, our mates would accompany us, but my mate happened to be a scumbag and there's no way that I would have s*x with that scum even though my wolf, howling painfully, tried to call her mate.
And during that time, my heart felt uncomfortable again, the same feeling when I saw that scum having s*x with my half-sister, so I was guessing that he was having s*x with someone else again during my heat period.
At that time, I wasn't that familiar with these three Alphas, so I went to my own room and locked myself.
I even tried to pleasure myself hoping that it would relieve my heat, but who would have thought that it didn't? I almost wanted to faint at that time because I didn't want to mate with someone nor deal with the heat.
However, I underestimated the power of the heat that only occurred once when we reached our age. I vaguely remember what I did that time and unlocked the door and went out.
It happened that Alpha Ash was there who was about to help me and with me, being clouded in intense pain and pleasure, craving physical interaction, I grabbed Ash's wrist, pulling him inside my room and then...
It all happened.
When I woke up, I was covered with hickeys all over, while Ash's back was covered with scratches from my nails while his neck was covered with teeth marks.
He didn't even leave in the morning, making me even more embarrassed. I would have preferred it if he left after doing it with me, but he stayed while looking at his tablet, reading some documents with his glasses on.
"What are you three standing here for?"
I snapped back to reality when I heard Ash's voice. I almost hiccuped and averted my gaze at him.
"Pfft..."
I glanced at Zack and Owen who were, sneaking while looking at me, making my cheeks heat up and give them a death glare.
If they say something that could make this awkward right now, I would really hunt them to death.
However, it seemed that they had understood my gaze, so they faked their cough and looked at Alpha Ash with a serious expression, as if they weren't the person who were teasing me earlier.
"What was it all about? The atmosphere seemed to be serious." Owen calmly asked with his hands both inside of his pockets, looking casual.
Alpha Ash's eyes looked down at him and calmly said without fluctuations. "Ready all our weapons, we're going to help the Wilsey's Pack."
Hearing him mention Wilsey's Pack, I pursed my lips and secretly clenched my fist. If it was my command, I wouldn't have helped that traitorous pack!
Who cares if they fall down or get attacked by those rogues? Who cares if they die? If they die, then it means that they were weak!
Anyway, weren't they the ones who told me that if I was bullied and died, then it was my fault for being weak, since this world is survival.
Zack's brows furrowed and looked at Ash. "Are you sure that you want to help them? You know about what's going on with Wilsey's Pack and Sammy, right?"
Owen also frowned and nodded his head, supporting Zack. "Right! How could we help them? Who cares if they die? Anyway, if they die, then that means that they are weak."
Ash sighed and coldly looked at them. "That's why we established this pack to help the weak and, besides, they offered a large sum of money plus other favorable benefits, so I can't deny it. Also, I thought I already said it before that when we work, there should be no feelings attached."
I watched as Zack frowned, clearly disagreeing with Ash. "But what if our baby Sammy gets hurt again? What about her feelings?"
Seeing the two of them trying to defend me, I felt warm. However, just like what Ash had said to me earlier, I should confront them, and it's not like I'm guilty either, so why would I hide from them? They should be the ones who should hide from me all the things that they have done towards me.
I stopped Zack and Owen, who were about to disagree with Ash again, and shook my head. "Although I am reluctant and disgusted to see them, I can't just continue to run away from them as if I were a sinner. Anyway, I haven't done anything wrong and, besides, I want to let them see that I am doing well. That I am not the Samarah that they used to make fun of."
Zack looked at me with worry. "But..."
I gave him a reassuring smile. "It's fine and, besides, I have you three, right? I'm confident that you three won't allow them to trample on my dignity again."
Owen and Zack nodded their heads. "Of course not! There's no way that we will let those bastards who wronged you hurt you again!"
I couldn't help but chuckle after hearing it.
Meeting them was my lifelong blessing.
I felt a large warm pat on my head, making me raise my head and look up at him.
I heard him say with a smile on his face, "See? We won't let our only princess get hurt again."
I was about to nod my head again when I couldn't help but hiss.
My brows furrowed and irritation creeped into my body as I felt those stinging sensations again.
Damn it. Having that scum as my mate is a curse!
"What's wrong?" I heard Zack's warm voice asking, filled with worries.
A bud of sweat had formed on my forehead. No matter how many times I felt this pain, I still couldn't get used to it, but the painful cry of my wolf made the wound on my heart sting even more.
Damn it!
"f**k. It's about your mate again?" Owen cursed.
I raised my head and weakly smiled at them. "It's fine, I'll have to get used to this shit."
Ash's eyes squinted and I felt the atmosphere drop. "I'll give that scum a beating." He said while gently patting my back to comfort me.
I couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.
I looked at them gratefully. "Thank you..."
You three didn't just help me develop my strengths, but also developed a new version of me.
If I didn't meet them, who knows what I am right now? I may still be the same Samarah who easily gets bullied and who was still weak and couldn't even kill a single fly.
Fortunately...
I snapped back when Ash patted my head. "Take a rest first. We'll go there once you're fine."
"But..." I looked up at him and said, "...didn't they want us to go there as early as possible? I don't want to delay our mission because of me."
Although I don't want to go there and could also use this as an excuse, part of me wanted them to see me, doing well and standing up on my own without them. I want them to know that the Samarah that they knew before only exists in their heads.
Owen and Zack scowled. "So what about it if we arrived there late? It is up to us what time we will get there."
Both of them were clearly saying that they didn't care if we arrived there with their corpses lying on the ground.
Ash chuckled and suddenly carried me in his arms, making me shriek as I instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck.
"It doesn't matter if we arrive there late. Anyway, it is Wilsey's heir's fault for delaying us anyway." He coldly said as he carried me to my room and gently lay me on the bed.
I looked at him and asked," weren't you the one who wanted to help them very much?"
"I am only after the benefits and the money. I thought you knew that." He chuckled and flicked my forehead.
I pouted and covered my face with the blanket. "Aren't you afraid that I will use this as an excuse for not helping them?"
I felt him latter my head. "You won't."
I bit my lower lip as my eyes quivered.
I heard him say again. "Rest for a while, we will be tidying up the weapons."
I felt something touch my head, but I ignored it and took a brief nap to calm my emotions and the disgusting pain around my heart.
