Offered to the Triplet Alphas

Chapter-80. The first day

[Xanthea]

"Ezra has set up and customized the laptop and phone for you. You know how to use a phone, right?" Raven asked while driving me to Helxton as I scrolled around the phone. I nodded quickly and fumbled with the phone, accidentally turning on the music that boomed through the speaker. Startled, I quickly turned it off, glancing nervously at Raven. He shot me a side-eye and let out a subtle, exasperated sigh.

"You'll have to learn and adapt to things quickly. Others in your batch are already months ahead of you. You need to catch up to them by taking extra classes after your normal classes. You can access and manage your schedule through the Helxton's fast course tracker. My number is already saved on your phone. Call me when necessary," he said.

Pressing my lips together, I glanced at the three contacts saved on my phone: Asher, Ezra, and Raven.

"Don't think you are going to get any special treatment here just because you are soul pacted with the demon lords. Most won't even know you are pacted with us. So, you'll have to work harder than anyone else and I will not settle for anything less than perfect. So don't waste your time on that cat or on making useless friends. Focus on your studies, finishing the fast course and getting the healer's license as soon as possible," Raven said, parking the car near the gate outside the college campus.

I knew my time was limited, but even within its boundaries, I had the chance to live a life way beyond my wildest imagination. A life that I couldn't have ever dreamt about.

Sliding the phone in the pocket of my jeans, I hugged the backpack that had the fit-it-all carry bag, the laptop, and the journal Ezra had bought for me. I could feel my heart pound faster against the bag as we got closer to the university. "I understand! I won't give you a chance to complain," I said in a bit too excited tone, which made Raven furrow his brows.

"We'll see about that... your first lecture starts in fifteen minutes... your course tracker app will take you to the lecture hall. Now, get going."

I nodded once and was about to step down from the car when Raven held my wrist. I looked at him, wincing as he tightened his grip.

"Here, you are the mortal forbidden fruit that will draw a lot of attention..." he whispered in my ear, his breath tingling against my skin. "And there will be many wanting to have a taste. So stay alert. Don't eat, drink or smell anything others give you. Don't go to isolated areas all by yourself. Boy or girl, doesn't matter. Don't trust anyone because consent is not a popular concept among demons. It's in their nature to just take what they want."

His words made me tighten my grip on my backpack. Gathering my courage, I lifted my gaze to meet his unforgiving eyes.

"I know..." I said, holding his gaze. "Perhaps better than anyone else."

I don't know if it was anger or irritation, but something dark flashed across his eyes.

I stifled a yelp when he grabbed my arm and yanked me closer, his face inches away from mine.

"I don't want affairs and scandals. In short, stay away from men. I don't want to hear even fake rumors about you being involved with any other guy... do you understand?"

"Unwilling though it may be, I have sworn my loyalty to you and your brothers, and it's not going to change until the day I die or the day you kill me. And I am not foolish enough to spare a second on men and think it's going to be worth it," I said.

His eyes darkened, danger flickering within them. With a swift, possessive motion, he pulled me closer until my lips almost touched his.

"Aren't we late because of all the seconds we spent fucking this morning because you were too horny to stop? I guess it must have been an utter waste of your time, little omega. But you seemed to have enjoyed every second of it. So I don't know if I should trust your words or not," he whispered in my ear.

I glanced towards the backseat at our companion, Lana, who eyed Helxton with suspicion. Lana was the healing partner Raven had chosen for me.

Making some distance between Raven and me, I averted my gaze.

"Don't look at other men," his voice was low but held a serious depth. "Don't look at them with these challenging eyes. Don't look at them at all. And don't let them look at you the way we do."

His words did something strange to my heart, and it began pounding harder. I knew his words were a warning, but for some insane reason, they didn't feel like a threat.

I could feel the heat in my body rise with unholy thoughts burning slowly into my eyes and then flooding my mind all at once. Controlling the hitch in my breath, I lowered my gaze.

"Good girl," he said before letting go of my arm.

Drawing in my brows, I slung the backpack over my shoulder and stepped out of the car.

"You can't stay for the night classes," Raven said.

"I know," I said, taking a deep breath, my back facing him.

Getting back my composure, I cleared my throat and opened the door of the backseat. Lana gracefully got out of the car.

Lana Leferve, eleven years old, was the princess of a small faerie tribe. She had dual tone greenish black hair that flowed down to her small but exquisite glimmering translucent wings that looked like a beautiful mess of green, yellow, and black galaxies.

She wore a golden diadem around her forehead with a glowing green crystal at its center.

She had been quiet ever since Raven introduced us. All I knew about her was she was a prodigy as a healing faerie.
