Offered to the Triplet Alphas
Chapter 23
Chapter-23. Burning memories
[Xanthea]
Raven stopped the car outside the narrow street. That was as far as a car could go. The alleys leading to my home weren't broad enough to accommodate a car. We had arrived in the Virgo pack in the Earthly realm.
My head was still giddy because of the realm jump that Raven's car made. A few seconds ago, he was racing his car on the roads of the Infernal realm. In the air, I saw a flash of light and it seemed as though we were sucked into a whirlpool. I felt as though my guts had been turned upside down.
The demon lords were about to get down from the car when...
"Alpha!" I called out, and the three of them looked at me. Ezra narrowed his eyes while his brows were raised in annoyance.
"What?" Raven asked coldly.
I lowered my gaze, nibbling my lower lips.
"Umm. Can you please wait in the car? I-I can bring everything you need to you if you just give me some time," I said, and they exchanged glances at one another.
"Very smart! But I don't want to go through the wasteful trouble of trying to hunt you down if you try to run away," Ezra said, opening the door.
"I won't run!" I blurted. "I promise. I know there is nowhere in any realm where I can run and hide from you."
Ezra scoffed.
"So why do you wanna go home alone? Oooooh~ Got a lover? Going to give him a final goodbye kiss, huh? How romantic." "No... I lived alone."
"Of course, you did. Your lover could be your neighbor, dumbo!" Ezra grunted, trying to get out of the car.
"Please! I promise I'll just go back to my house, get the books and diaries, and come back. Nothing else. I promise," I insisted.
"Xanthea, why don't you want us to come to your home?" Asher asked. "If it's just about getting the books then, you can do that with us, right? We could even help you carry them."
I felt my eyes turn misty as I lowered them, fidgeting with my fingers.
"It's... it's just... the place..."
"Are you embarrassed to show us you lived?" Raven said and my body tensed up.
"What? Had your undies scattered on the floor, or did you not clean up after your last sex in this realm? Oh wait, you were a virgin when we married you, so I suppose it isn't the second one," Ezra mocked. "You don't have to be embarrassed about anything. There's nothing about you we haven't already seen."
"No... that's not-"
Before I could say a word more, the three of them got down from the car.
Ezra squinted at the narrow, dimly lit, empty alley.
Taking a deep breath, I got down from the car. The ill feeling in my stomach grew with every step I took closer to my home, with the three of them silently walking behind me.
Ezra took out his handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose.
Although my mother's house wasn't in the slums, it was quite close to it. It was nighttime so most people were sleeping in their patched up houses. Even the ground we walked on was uneven.
