Chapter 28
Gina.
The next morning, I woke up to find myself wrapped up in Devon’s arms, and I couldn’t help but smile beautifully as I watched him sleep like a newborn baby.
Last night with Devon was astonishing; I had so much fun speaking with him; he came just when I needed company; and we stayed up until midnight.
When he wanted to leave, I asked that he spend the night with me because I felt so comfortable around him. It felt so natural to be with him, unlike his two other brothers, who make me think of having s*x all the time.
Secondly, I wanted him to stay the night because I was a little scared of spending the night alone.
My maid will be at the staff quarters and won’t be returning until the morning.
As soon as we hit the bed, there was this little spark of s****l tension between us. He had asked to k**s me, and I willingly obliged.
His k**s was gentle, as he took his time exploring every inch and curve of my mouth with his tongue.
Even though it didn’t last long, it was so peaceful and totally enjoyable. By the time we were done kissing and cuddling lightly, we were both already feeling tired and sleepy.
He whispered sweet nonsense in my ears as I allowed myself to be cuddled up in his warm, firm arms before sleep took over my eyes.
Waking up now to stare at him makes me wonder how on earth a man could be blessed with such beautiful long lashes.
Being with him felt almost as if I were with his brother, Denver. Only he seems like the calmer and more romantic version of his brothers.
“Good morning, babe,” he said in a husky voice, opening his beautiful sleepy eyes to stare into my pretty spotless chubby face.
“Good morning,” I said, admiring what a beauty he was in the morning.
“How was your night?” He questioned, pulling me closer to press a k**s on my lips.
“I’m good. Did you sleep well?” I said.
He was about to answer when we heard a knock on the door. My first guess would be that it was my maid at the door.
So, I made to stand up to go open the door, but he held me back, and before I could ask why, his lips were crushing on mine. Almost at the same time, the door opened and Denver and Derrick walked in.
The moment was so awkward because I was stunned as to why Devon would want his brothers to see us kissing.
Not that I was exactly angry at his actions, but it just felt so weird.
My eyes subconsciously went to the two brothers standing and resting their backs on the wall.
Their gaze on me was icy; not that I feared them or anything, but there was something about their stare that made me very uneasy.
I felt I was unclad before them with the way their eyes roamed my body.
“It seems we interrupted something,” Derrick finally said, while his eyes scanned the bed as if imagining what could have happened between Devon and me.
“No, it’s fine,” I said, avoiding looking at any of them in the eyes and wishing I could somehow hide my cheeks, which had turned red by now.
“You were not in your room all night? I came to check on you,” Denver said to Devon, who was still relaxing on the bed.
“Yeah, I slept here; she needed company, and since I was the only one available, I kept her company all through the night,” Devon said to Denver, with his hand now softly stroking my bare hand.
“We can see that, and it is why we came here to talk and straighten out some things,” Derrick said as he walked over to where he stood to sit down while Denver remained standing.
“Gina, like you, already know, you are our mate. All three of us have to figure out a way to spend time together, so we don’t start having issues with ourselves. We will have to take turns visiting you and spending the nights if need be,”
“What if I want to avoid seeing one of you?” I asked, staring him straight in the eye.
I can’t believe his guts; he was the first to disrespect the bond by sleeping with Gwen, and now he is talking about sharing equal rights with his brothers.
“You talk it out with all of us; if one of us gets out of line, we should be able to talk about it and figure out how to move past it. We are brothers, and I don’t want us to have issues spending time with you.
And also, we would rather not compare you to pick one out of us when it is obvious that we all want you. I know it must be difficult for you to try to understand us, so I beg that you give us some time and an opportunity to show you how much we truly love you,” Derrick said.
I don’t know whether it was the words or the way he said them, but I found myself forgiving them and having a guilty conscious for spending more time with Devon instead with all three of them.
Also learning of the fact that they might have already stated having issues because of me, made my heart ache.
“I’m sorry if I have been unconsciously letting you guys have some sort of dispute; it was never intentional, I said to them with my eyes down.
“You did nothing for you to apologize, some people can’t just help but be silly,” Devon said lifting my eyes to eyes.
His words and action made one of his brothers growl silently but he completely ignored the threat as he stood up from the bed.
“We would be going hunting this afternoon, and we wondered if you would want to come with us,” Derrick said, feeling a little cheerful now that Devon was out of bed.
“No, I am not, have you forgotten that I am yet to get my wolf?” I said dismissively, not liking the that it act that I was embarrassed by my being wolfless.
Standing up from the bed and walking over to the wardrobe to throw on a robe.
I couldn’t help but notice how their eyes were intensely fixed on my a*s as I moved.
“How about we go clubbing tonight, then,” Devon suggested.
We will go hurting and after which we will all go clubbing, Denver stated, with his eyes now resting on me for seconds.
His voice seemed to conclude whatever everyone else had on their mind.

Third-Person Narrative.
Gwen woke up the next morning feeling soured around her neck. She wouldn’t have believed in a thousand years that Denver would dare to lay hands on her.
The reason she didn’t tell her father right away, was that she was a bit embarrassed stating the reason she got the scar. After taking her breakfast, she decided to take a walk around the palace.
She saw some servants preparing and carrying the things the triplet alpha usually takes with them for hunting into the triplet cars.
She asked them why they had brought out those things, and she was told that the triplets were going on hunting.
Just then, she saw the triplet coming from the direction of gina’s house, she immediately sensed that they were with her that morning.
Seeing Gina laughing with the triplets made Gwen super jealous as she glared at them.
Even though she hated to admit it, gina was looking different from what she remembered of her. She couldn’t help but wish that she had the same fuller curves that Gina had.
She watched them enter the triplet car, completely ignoring her.
She was hurt that she wasn’t informed, she had always gone out with the triplet whenever they were going out on a hunt.
The fact that they were not asking her to come only meant that they looking forward to spending so much time alone with Gina.
Out of annoyance, she picked up her phone to call her father.
”Dad, I don’t care how you get rid of her, I just want her gone,” Gwen sobbed to her father over the phone.
Her father who at that time having a meeting with some elders based on the alpha king’s instruction tried to place his daughter to calm down.
But Gwen felt she had had enough and was going to do what it took to get rid of Gina.
She was still trying to get past what happened between Denver and her last night. Even though she knew he had never really shown interest that he liked her, she wouldn’t have guessed that he would dare raise his hand at her.
And instead of blaming and fighting Denver, she found herself putting all the fault on Gina. She so much believed that none of what had happened would have happened if Gina was out of the way.
“My darling princess, I am working out something, just a little patience is all I ask, please,” her father pleaded.
But she was having none of it as she kept ranting about her father.
They are liking and accepting her more as each day passes by, and you ask me to calm down dad, I don’t even get to see them again, they all spend their time with her and I feel like I have turned into a piece of furniture here in the palace, she ranted, angrily dropping the call on her father.
Then, suddenly, it struck her that if she couldn’t touch Gina, she could talk to or threaten Gina’s parents and ask them to ask her to stay away from her mates.
She went back to her room, got dressed, and took one of the cars that had been assigned to her, and she drove down to the commoner section.
Her presence in the commoner section seemed to confuse the omegas as they whispered among themselves wondering why the Luna to be was there.
She was finally shown Gina’s parent’s house, and she came down from the car, visibly disgusted by the house and the people that. We’re coming out from different angles to peep at her.
Gina’s parents, wondering why there was a noise outside their compound, decided to go and see who it was.
On getting there, they were surprised to see that it was Gwen looking glamorous dressed in one of her expensive dresses.
“My princess, what do we owe this visit,” Gina’s mother asked as soon as she saw that Gwen was looking angered.
To think that for a second there, I was wondering why you would be so desperate to charm my mates into claiming your useless daughter as theirs. I can now understand the extent of poverty that you are suffering and the need to look for a solution. And that is what brought me here, you tell your daughter to leave and stay the hell away from my mate, and in return, I will give you all the wealth you can ever imagine, she said proudly sizing up Gina’s parents with her an evil glance.
“I’m sorry, my daughter, we…”
Will you shut the hole you call a mouth, how dare you call me your daughter? Do you forget who is standing before you? I was born by one of the strongest alphas in the kingdom, I am no daughter of some weak poverty-stricken omega, know your place peasants” she said with her voice laced with so much disdain.
I want you both to loosen my mates from the spell that you gave your daughter because if you don’t and the alpha king finds you out. Furthermore, I will personally see to it that you all burn in hell where you belong, she said, angrily returning to her car.
She drove angrily out of the commoner section, not minding the fact that she almost hit some kids who were admiring the car she was driving.
