Offered to the Triplet Alphas

Chapter-12. Family

[Xanthea]

We walked through the luxurious corridors of the castle that were in shades of gray, white, black, and golden gothic aesthetics. Black and golden mostly dominated the decor. Same as my room. The floor I walked on was mostly covered with black marble, with intricate golden patterns carved in them.

I kept my gaze fixed on the marble floor, for I could feel all eyes turn on me as I passed through.

There were tall, arched doorways that lead to various chambers or other corridors.

After a ten-minute walk and short guide and tour into the castle by Mavka, we reached the grand dining hall. There was a huge rectangular glass table in the middle of the hall surrounded by almost twelve chairs. Five chairs on either side and a chair, each at the head and foot of the table. Above the table hung the most beautiful and royal chandelier I had ever seen.

But no one was at the table yet.

"Remember, keep your gaze low as the family enters the hall. Don't look them in the eye. Speak only when spoken to and don't do anything else," Mavka whispered in my ear.

I nodded once.

The sound of rolling wheels caught my ears. I didn't have to turn around to see the source of the sound. A boy riding a skateboard skated around me in circles. His black jacket billowed behind him.

I could feel him analyze me. He was wearing a white hoodie, black pants and sports shoes. His fingers obscured his forehead, meeting his glasses. From his look, I could easily tell he was a teenager, eighteen maybe.

He stopped skating right in front of me. With a deft kick, he had the skateboard in his hand.

"You must be my new sister-in-law. I heard you did some pretty impressive job of pissing off my brothers," he chuckled, chewing a bubblegum.

I lowered my head even further.

"I am Cedric. Nice to meet you. I always try to piss them off. But nothing works on them. From bang! Shooting at them, poisoning them, stabbing them, bombing their cars. I have tried everything. Literally everything you can think of. But they never fall into my trap. Haha. But it hasn't even been a day since you arrived and you've done the job pretty well. You broke their unity. I like you already. Friends?"

Cedric stretched out his hand for a handshake as he laughed.

"We can both form an alliance and kill them together. What do you say? Then I'll become the alpha of this pack and I'll take you as my luna."

My eyelids fluttered as I peered at his hand blankly. I was honestly speechless. After hearing everything I did, I wasn't sure how to respond to him.

Had someone said those same words in the palace of a pack in the earthly realm, they would have been thrown into dungeons or killed on the spot.

"Cedric, stop plotting with their bride, will you? She herself is at their mercy, huh! Just because they haven't killed her yet, doesn't mean they won't." A woman's voice came from behind me.
