Offered to the Triplet Alphas

Chapter 0002

[Xanthea]

I left my apartment in the afternoon when the sun gently hid behind the mammatus clouds. I grew Forget-me-nots the whole year for my mother's death anniversary. Picking some of the most vibrant flowers, I tied them in a blue ribbon.

I put on the best formal decent gown I had and set off for the graveyard. I got down from the bus a stop before my actual stop because the roads ahead were out of bounds for the public. There was some inter-pack car drifting competition organised by Nikolai.

I knew I had to hurry before the event began, so I decided to walk to the graveyard since it wasn't too far.

The road was the fastest way, but maybe I shouldn't have taken the road.

I had walked a few metres ahead on the road when I heard the roaring of engines and several cars zoomed past me at a speed that made them look like mere glowing lights flying by.

One of those cars stopped at some distance and started driving in reverse. It was a brand new grey supra.

Lowering my gaze, I increased my pace.

"Want a lift, sis?" Nikolai put his elbow on the window, patting his car. He drove the car slowly, matching my pace. "You know, an omega shouldn't be here at this hour. Alphas from all the packs will be here tonight. What if someone kidnaps you? Or does something worse?"

A shrill laughter came from the passenger seat.

"Come on, brother! They might just run their cars over her ugly face of hers. How could someone look at such an abomination and not want to crush it?" Nathalia sniggered, rolling the chewing gum across her mouth.

"Now. Now. Lia. Don't be so harsh, or she'll start crying again. Like good old days," Nikolai stopped the car. They exchanged some glances, and Nathalia and Nikolai stepped out of the car.

Keeping my eyes low, I tensed up when they approached me. Clenching the forget-me-nots, I hid them in my gown's fabric.

"How rude of you? Ever since you left the palace, you didn't even come to visit us once. How ungrateful can a bitch get?" Nathalia hit my shoulder, and I stumbled back.

"Woah! Calm down. It's been a while since we saw her. Go easy on her," Nikolai's gaze darkened as it ran over me. I dug my fingers into my flesh as I clenched my trembling fist. "Going on a date, sis?" I shuddered as his aura thickened. The threat behind his words held me in a chokehold. Restlessness built in my chest as I instantly shook my head.

"Then where are you going with flowers in your hand and dressed so prettily? You might not be living with us anymore, but you are, unfortunately, linked with the royal family. And if you were to stain our reputation by acting like a slut then as you brother, it'd be my responsibility to put you in your place?" He growled, towering over me, and I cowered.
