Offered to the Triplet Alphas

Chapter-26. Emotional barriers

[Xanthea]

"Luna candidate?" I mumbled to myself.

"Yes, the women in line to become the next Luna of the Prime Infernal pack. There are several potential Luna candidates. Each of my brothers has a woman they would want as their Luna. So, essentially, there are top three potential Luna candidates, and Nyssa is on top of them all, their number one choice."

I looked at Nyssa. She was bold, intelligent, independent and, above all, she was a strong alpha blood werewolf. I bet her demon wolf was stronger than the average in the Infernal pack. No wonder she was the top Luna candidate. Unlike me. I had none of those qualities. Not only was I just an omega, but I was also wolfless.

Even so, I felt a subtle dull ache in my chest as my heart sank under an uncanny weight.

I didn't need the constant reminder, but it was hard to ignore that a year was the most I had in my life if the triplets didn't decide otherwise.

But there were things I could not comprehend, no matter how deeply I thought about them.

Like, if the triplets needed heirs, then why did they marry mortal werewolves and they didn't even care if the mortal was alpha blood or not? They just wanted royal blood to bear their kids.

I was deep in my thoughts when Nesryn placed her hand on my shoulder.

"Hey, I hope what I said didn't bother you," she said.

I looked at her, confused.

"I hope my brothers have drawn clear lines of your relationship with them, right? You are just a breeder for them. I hope you know that they'll eventually have their lunas or a luna once the... well... when things go back to normal. And I say it just to save you from unnecessary future heartaches, because honestly, my brothers are not worth it, you know," Nesryn shrugged.

I had heard those words before, knew their meaning to heart, yet when Nesryn told them to me, my heart almost leaped out of my chest. I almost panicked, as if I had been caught doing something I wasn't supposed to do. I nodded, clearing the tightness that threatened to build in my throat.

"Yeah, yes. Uh... I know. They have made me well aware of my boundaries and limits. Of course," I said instantly, licking the dryness of my lips.

Nesryn's gaze lingered densely on me, and I cleared my throat with a quick gulp, trying to act as I normally did. But when Nesryn squinted her eyes, frowning slightly, I tried to change the subject.

"B-but if they needed heirs, then wouldn't a strong alpha female from the Infernal pack be a better choice than mortals?" I asked.

Nesryn looked at me as if I had said something taboo.

"If they haven't told you, I don't think I am in a place to say anything. But that's not important. What's important is since you can't have physical barriers against them, just create emotional barriers around yourself and don't let my brothers cross it, ok?" Nesryn looked at me with critical eyes.

"Yes," I nodded.
