Serafine's POV
I reached the study and saw Isabella race out of the study in tears. She glared at me in anger as she passed me.
I looked up and saw Daniel staring into space with his fist balled up.
I was about to leave and maybe come another time, but I was frozen to a spot.
He was boiling in anger, he turned and was about to kick the table when he yelled at me.
“I thought I told you to get out!” He yelled and I flinched.
I turned and was about to leave when I heard him call my name softly.
“Serafine?” He called.
I turned to him slowly, and he walked up to me.
“I am so sorry, I never knew you were the one standing there.”
I nodded at him, and he held my hand and led me inside the study.
He pulled out a chair for me and made me sit on it.
“Thanks,” I said as I tried to avoid his gaze.
He took his seat and closed his laptop as he pushed the table aside and faced me.
I looked up at him and noticed that his anger was gone, and he had a calm look on his face.
I looked away again. I couldn't stand to stare at his face now that we were alone.
“Serafine,” he called softly.
I looked up at him and said, “Hmm.”
“Why are you avoiding my gaze?” He asked.
The deep tone in his voice sent shivers up my spine. I gulped and locked my gaze on his.
“Why are you here?” He asked.
Why am I here? I asked myself.
I couldn't stay in that room all alone, I had to go out and that was when I found myself there. I didn't even know this was a study.
“Ermmm… I…” I stuttered as I tried to find words.
He chuckled, “Are you shy?”
I looked down and pursed my lips.
“Where are you from? Where did David bring you from and how did you get here again?”
He had so many questions. Where do I start answering from?
I can't tell him what Silas had done to me and how Sir David saved me from him.
I wet my lips as I looked back up at him, “Well, I am from the Fiery Fang pack. Sir David saved me from danger, he brought me here with his good heart… I ran away because I was both scared and confused…. I met up with an accident and then, this morning, I found myself back here.”
He stared at me in awe as I spoke.
“I searched everywhere for you, Serafine. You shouldn't have run away… thank goodness you are unharmed and Damien brought you back to us.”
Why did he search for me?
Does he care about me?
I asked myself these questions as I searched for his heart through his eyes and all I could see was love and affection, unlike when I first entered the study, and he had a pure fire of rage in his eyes.
“As we speak, David is still out there somewhere looking for you,” he said, and my jaw dropped.
“What?” I asked as my eyes bulged out and I cupped my mouth.
“Yes, Serafine, that is how endearing you are to us… I don't know about Damien, he can be cold at times,” he shifted out of his chair and stretched out his hand, he took my hand and squeezed it into my lap.
With his eyes locked in mine, he continued, “Serafine, you are ours… you belong to us, and you are our mate. We will love and cherish you forever… promise me you will never try to escape again.”
How do I make such a promise?
How do I trust these triplets, after Silas has broken my trust in my pack?
How am I sure I am safe with these strange men in a strange pack?
I squeezed my hands further and I looked down.
He used his other hand to lift my chin, as he didn't want to break eye contact with me.
“Promise me, Serafine.”
I blinked at him, and it felt like I could see right through him like a mirror. I knew I could trust him.
But…
“Common Serafine,”
I was taken aback when I heard Pearl, my wolf speak to me.
She had been silent since we broke our bonds with Silas. I knew she was hurt and in pain from the separation.
“We have suffered for too long, this is our chance to know how it feels to be loved and pampered, Serafine.”
I gulped and closed my eyes. Deep down I knew Pearl was right, my mates could be a blessing from the moon goddess to soothe my bleeding heart.
“I know you can feel the bond, I can feel it too… I know you love him, why are you taking too long to accept them,” Pearl said.
I opened my eyes and saw Daniel squatting in front of me. He took my blonde hair behind my ear and I gasped softly as the top of his finger brushed my skin.
“I can't promise you the world, but we are three… we can give you all the love and care you truly deserve.” He cupped my face with one of his hands and his other hand held my hand on my lap.
I tilted my head and shut my eyes unconsciously at his touch, I felt his hot breath brush my lips, followed by his thumb.
“I’ll take that as a yes,” he said, and took my lips in his and kissed them passionately.
I parted my lips, and he pressed his tongue inside my mouth, looking for my tongue.
He twirled his tongue around mine as he pushed my head closer to his.
He paused and pulled back from the kiss, “I am sorry… I should have asked before I kissed you,” he said, and stood up to his feet.
He faced to the other side and scratched the back of his head.
I swallowed hard as I gasped for air.
That kiss was hot…
I wish I could tell him to kiss me some more, but I am too shy to say that.
I licked my lips and said, “It's fine.”
He turned to face me and I looked out the window, avoiding his gaze.
I noticed a white car driving towards the mansion. It was the same car that had hit me yesterday.
My heart throbbed as I guessed that Damien must be in the car.
Daniel described him as cold. Is he scary?
Daniel followed my gaze and turned to the window. He saw the car approaching, and he said, “Alpha Damien is here.”
I gulped as my heart skipped, he just confirmed my guess.
Daniel walked up to me and offered me his hand, “Let's go and meet him.”
I stared at his hand in front of me and then at the car.
Shivers ran down my spine as cold gripped me.
What will he be like? I asked myself.
