Offered to the Triplet Alphas

Chapter-57. Embraced darkness

[Ezra]

Xanthea groaned, clutching her head as she struggled to recover from the impact of the realm jump. Her heartbeats turned more erratic. She glanced at me before turning her frenzied gaze outside the window as she scanned the roads of the Virgo pack for any sign of danger. Taking a tight gulp, she remained silent, her fists tightly clenched on her laps.

"Alpha..." she said, almost out of breath.

I didn't reply and kept driving.

Xanthea's hands trembled as she pressed them against the window, her breath turning into subtle gasps. She appeared more alarmed and paranoid, as though she firmly believed that her family and pack would attack her the moment they saw her.

"What's the most luxurious mall in your pack?" I asked, breaking the silence between us.

She kept peering outside the car window. I bet the voices in her mind were so loud right now; she couldn't even hear my voice. "Xanthea!"

"Huh!?" she gasped, snapping her neck in my direction.

"What's the biggest mall around?" I reiterated, lifting a brow.

"Why are we here?" she asked.

Straight to the point, huh?

"Shopping," I said.

"Are we?" she asked, staring at me..

I sighed.

"Don't you wanna know what happened to your family after the fire?" I asked with a stoic face, staring at the road ahead of me.

Stalling her breaths, she peered at me, but I could tell in one glance she was zoning out.

"No..." Her voice came out fainter than a whisper. "I don't want to know a thing about them. I-I just don't wanna go back to them. Please alpha, take me back to the Infernal pack, please..."

"But I want your family to know what happened to you. They are way too happy thinking you are dead-"

"I don't care what they think!" she raised her voice, shutting her eyes tightly. "I have been dead to them from the moment I was born. It doesn't matter what they think of me now. It's good that they think I am dead. I just don't wanna go back there. Please alpha..." My jaws clenched at her words.

I could only imagine the horrors they put her through for hell to become a better place than home. The same hell that mortals feared by their wits.
