Offered to the Triplet Alphas

Chapter-13. Sickness

[Xanthea]

Taken aback, I gaped at the woman sitting in the wheelchair in her pristine aura - the High lady of the house and the triplet's mother.

Lady Demetria was dressed in a flowing, pure white gown. Her eyes were covered with a white blindfold. Every strand of her silky long hair was as white as snow.

But it was the contrast in her body and face that caught my attention instantly. The time seemed to have affected just her body. Her face remained youthful, bright and beautiful, as though completely untouched by time. Meanwhile, from her neck and her skeleton thin finger, I couldn't even imagine how old she was.

Two women walked behind her. They, too, were dressed in pure white gowns. From a glance at them, it was difficult to tell their age, but from the age range of my realm, they looked to be in their forties, both body and face.

I dissolved somewhere in the background and that's where I wished to remain as the Xipher family came together.

"Nesryn, so good to see you, darling. How have you been?" The woman on the left with hair a beautiful mix of white, black and gray stretched out her hands towards Nesryn for a hug.

"Mother," Nesryn walked into her embrace as they shared a warm hug.

"Cedric, did you get another piercing in your ear?" The woman standing on the right side of the High lady walked to Cedric and pulled his ear to look at the piercing.

Her hair was completely black, and she looked the youngest of all the three wives of the previous alpha.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Mom! It hurts."

"I told you to stop getting holes punctured in your body, didn't I?" Lady Alessia twisted Cedric's ear. His new piercing started bleeding again.

"Mom!" Cedric groaned as he struggled his ear out of her grip.

"You get another piercing and you'll go straight back to your torture school," Lady Alessia said.

"As much as I would love to go back there, I need to finish this assassination course with the bright colors of my brothers' blood and prove to them I am better than them!" Cedric said, using a handkerchief to stop his ears from bleeding. I looked towards Nesryn's mother, Lady Letitia, who was updating herself with Nesryn's life.

"I know being a spy is your expertise, sweetie. But I am your mother. How can I not spy on you? I am worried about you and your well being. Is it a crime for a mother to make sure by all means possible that her baby girl is alright?"

"Of course you can, mother. Just don't kill all my ex-boyfriends. What if someday I wanna return to some of them?" Nesryn shrugged.
