The Triplet Alphas Abused Mate

Chapter eight

Chapter eight

Jasira Sanders POV

°°°

I'll do anything to protect my brother and keep him safe

My words are playing in the back of my head. There are no familiar faces as I make my way to the Alpha's chambers. I don't feel invisible for the first time walking through these walls. From having memories of running around these walls with my mother, to getting bashed by my stepmother. My memories fill my eyes, leaving me bittersweet.

The Dark Moon Pack has already conquered our pack and all of my pack members must be thrown in the basement, held captive by the Triplet Alphas. I don't know whether they will give us shelter in their pack or have them find home elsewhere in the neighboring packs. I don't know what will happen to my family, but I do know that they will be fine.

And family, the word itself feels like a tough pill to swallow.

I recall how Bertha turned her words against us, and lied.

But I have finally gotten a chance. This is a do-or-die situation for us. Because there's no way we can escape.

Beta Rowan was clearly angry, even if we are turned rogues, he can hunt us down and hurt us. There will be so many like him who have been waiting for a chance to hurt us.

How long can you hide when your enemies are thirsty for your blood?

As soon as I enter the alpha's chambers, my eyes meet Oliver Crestwood.

The alpha, who is known to be cruel and wild. His dark golden eyes stares mine as he stands far, yet it feels like I am trapped in his gaze, and he's watching me close.

It's a feeling, the way my heart just skips a beat staring at him.

My eyes travel to Leonardo, an arrogance in his look, like he has got what he wanted.

And now, I have scraped myself for his demand.

I swallow the way I feel trapped between the two. But then I saw him.

Adrian Crestwood.

He's the alpha I shouldn't be looking at. But he's intriguing my thoughts. Unlike his brothers, he holds a mystery.

However I know nothing about these three, so what am I even talking about?

“I'm here to beg for each of your mercy, alphas.” I speak out as I bow my head.

In respect.

I prepared myself mentally to come here and hold my ground. However, now I feel clueless. However, I have a purpose to be standing here.

“I still stand by my words, which are the truth. However, I have no evidence to prove them to you in this trial.” I continue, as I keep my eyes down.

Then…

“Look at me…”

I slowly lift my eyes as I hear a rustic growl that leaves me shaking…

It's Oliver, who's moved closer to me. Yet, he's still far.

“Speak now.” He orders, his eyes staring at me like he's watching me.

And I nod.

“I will work hard and do anything to repay your favor, if you would let me and my brother walk away with no punishment. Because we aren't murderers. Every coin has two sides, every story has two perspectives.” I speak out as I look at Oliver Crestwood.

“Repay us?” Oliver questions…

And my eyes go wide, unsure.

“I'll work in your pack house. No matter how many years it will take, I'll do everything in my power to repay you all.” I add, trying to resonate better.

Thinking this is a monetary conversation.

But again… I'm interrupted as Leonardo speaks out.

“You think we are interested in getting some free workers?” He questions.

“We pay all our pack members generously, and we don't have any slaves in our packs.

It's forbidden and illegal in the Dark Moon Pack to have any other fellow pack members or humans as pets or slaves or anything that involves abduction, slavery and forced s****l advances. We believe in unity and harmony while focusing on the rights of women and children, which are dealt very seriously.” Leonardo speaks out.

An authoritative tone that just straightened my spine.

And I nod.

“I didn't mean to offend you. My due apologies, alpha. I was only trying to make a point that I'll work harder to repay your trust” I lower my voice as I look at Leonardo.

“Why are you demoted to an omega when you are the alpha's daughter?” Leonardo questions, without wasting a second.

And I feel a weird sense of defeat in me.

I knew this question would come my way…

But until that date, I didn't have an answer that has made me accept this all.

Why else would an alpha daughter be mistreated in the pack she was born to rule?

“My mother was killed in a rogue attack while attempting to save me. She was the most loved person in the pack.

But once, when everyone learned that she had died in an attempt to keep me alive, they just hated me.

My father wouldn't look at me. I didn't shift, I have no wolf, which was the last straw for my father.” I speak out the truth, knowing if I'm unable to convince them, we will be in trouble.

“You don't have a mate?” Leonardo asks as he walks up to me.

I feel dizzy, like the room's spinning.

He comes to stands in front me.

And I look at him, he's tall, larger than life that I feel so little in front of his presence.

He holds the control here.

And I shake my head.

“I don't have a mate, and I don't wish for one.” I speak out, without even thinking.

Maybe I said too much. But that's the real truth. I feel haunted and no one would want me as a mate. I have no wolf, and my main priority will always be my brother, which will take most of my time to just make sure he's fine.

So instead of wishing for a mate and then getting rejected, it's better that I convinced myself I didn't need a mate. After I found out that I am wolf-less, I have been convincing myself about that. I don't want anyone else to hate me or mistreat me.

I don't want a mate because I'll surely be a disappointment to anyone.

Now I have made peace with the fact that I'll never have someone to call my mate, the person who will see my soul. But sometimes, life is hard that way.

Not all of us are blessed with mates who will fight for us, accept us for who we are, or let us be who we want to be.

“Well, we have some things in common. What do you think, Oliver?” Leonardo brings his hand as he lifts my jaw.

His thumb tracing my skin as he looks down at me.

“I don't. Understand.” I breathe out the word as I feel the warmth of his skin.

But Leonardo pulls back.

“You have two options in front of you, Jasira Sanders.” Leonardo speaks, a sudden shift in his tone.

And he walks back towards where Adrian is.

I'm left in the middle, my skin still feeling his warmth, while there's Oliver who's staring at me like I'm his feast for lunch.

“One, you go rogue along with your brother carrying the accusation of a murderer.

Or."

I wait, I wait like my life is online as Leonardo settles down next to Adrian, who has been a silent witness to it all.

“Or… You become the bride.” Leonardo speaks out loud and clear, there's no don't in his tone.

His words take me back to my surprise.

And I looked at him, like I didn't hear him right.

“Bride?” I repeat his words… Like it's still a question in my head.

“You heard him right.” Oliver grits out like he's running out of patience.

And hearing his deep growl, I flinched back.

He notices my reaction and slams his hand against his thigh as he turns around and walks towards Adrian.

And he settles down.

I look at the way the triplet alphas appear like the kings who are seated in front of me. This is their deal.

Yet, I'm blank as I stand alone.

“Yes, you will be a bride for a year.

So you can birth the heir to the Crestwood Family.” Leonardo speaks out as he looks at his brothers, who are staring at me.

Like they are not only trying to hold my captive but also steal my soul.

“You want me to marry you?” I repeat the words, my words barely making out loud as I look at the three men.

The most powerful strangers I have ever seen.

“Jasira…”

Adrian.

He takes my name, and I'm suddenly gasping, a weird feeling in me.

“What Leo is saying is, he wants you to be the bride.

For all of us.” He speaks out, his voice still echoing in my head.

And his words come like hot water against my body that I am bewildered.

I freeze, unable to process the things that've been spoken.

“We want an heir and for that, we are willing to share a mate. But that will purely be in terms of agreement.” Leonardo continues where his brother stopped.

And I feel like I'm still dreaming.

This can't be happening.

“You have a choice to make now.” Adrian announces…

And I felt shocked, I wanted to pinch myself to see if I was doing fine.

The Triplet alphas want me to be their bride?

And they want to share a mate?

Leonardo also mentioned this was going to be purely an arrangement. So, what does he mean by that?

But wait.

Kelsey.

Adrian already has a mate. Then why me?
