Offered to the Triplet Alphas

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Ready to Begin

“If you’re going to be such a wimp about it, I’ll say it,” Leo announced, breaking the tense silence that had fallen over us.

Callum sighed, shoulders slumping in defeat as he said nothing.

I glanced between them, confusion growing. “Say what?”

Leo rolled his eyes dramatically. “There have been reports of a certain blonde vampire lurking around near Emberfang territory.” His voice dripped with disdain. “Thought you should know, considering it’s your wedding day.”

My stomach dropped as the realization hit. “Cassandra?”

Lucas, Liam, and Levi tried sending out search parties to sift out the remaining members of the Vox Solis in the last month. Leo helped to identify them. However, among those found, dead or alive, Cassandra wasn’t one of them.

I looked at Callum worriedly, searching his face for confirmation.

He nodded grimly, avoiding my eyes. “And as for your question, I think Kendra is coming too.”

“You think?” Leo scoffed, crossing his arms. “She’s your mate. How can you ‘think’ she’s coming and not know for sure?”

Callum ran a hand through his hair, messing up the careful styling he’d done for the wedding. “I’ve been avoiding her for the past month, okay? While I try to figure things out.”

“Figure what out?” I asked gently. “I thought you accepted that Cassandra wasn’t really your mate?”

“We didn’t mark each other,” Callum admitted. “But I still have feelings for her. It’s not as simple as attraction because of a fated—” he winced, “artificial bond.”
