CIARA
I became confused, who was the chosen one? I noticed all eyes on me and that was when I had the courage to glance up at the staff held above my head. I almost stumbled back in shock, it was glowing brightly with a light shade of green. But how is this possible ?
My mouth was left hung open in shock as some ladies threw menacing stares at me. Isabella was fuming right were she stood, I saw her leaving the gathering in a haste and I knew she was going to tell my aunt about this. I was screwed, my aunt would surely have my head for this.
Racheal on the other hand stared at me blankly, her expression was unreadable and I felt my heart thumping loudly in my chest. This might hurt her so bad. Why did I have to be the chosen one ?
As the screams and hisses increased, I couldn't help but glance at the Alpha's to get their reaction about this. Their gaze were narrowed dangerously at me and they all had, devilish smirks, playing on their lips. I felt my world crumbling, what did I just get myself into? I shouldn't have participated in this, I wasn't even expecting this in the first place.
The crowd began to disperse slowly after what transpired, I could tell that no one was pleased with the news. Racheal was about leaving too when I began rushing after her, but I felt a strong force pull me back.
I spun around only to find the triplets staring down at me with utter disgust and disdain.
“You are our chosen mate.” Joey stated in an icy tone, sending shivers down my spine. I felt my heart sink in despair, I never wished to be tied to anyone, especially not three dangerous Alphas.
They exchanged glances with each other and Jayson spoke up. “And we reject you, you aren't worthy of being our mate.” He mumbled, his tone dripping with digust as the three scanned through my shabby appearance.
I felt hurt and embarrassed by that insult. But I was confused, why were his words hurting me so deep? A lot of people have said worse thing than this to hurt me but I never allowed their words get to me. Why does it hits different hearing this from them?
“Not like I wished to be your mate either.” I mumbled, rolling my eyes secretly as my head remained bowed in embarrassment.
I heard them inhale and exhale sharply as I instantly glanced up, fear gripping me as tension rose.
Their gaze narrowed dangerously as their face twisted into a scowl, Jayden took a step forward, his eyes blazing with fury. “You don't have a choice, you're coming with us.” He uttered in a tone that seemed to command grace and poise. My eyes widened in shock as I took a step backward as fear gripped me.
Why ? They already rejected me, so what do they still need me for ? “What…why?” I couldn't help but ask as they all gave me piercing stares.
“Don't you dare ask questions!” Jayson fired, his voice almost sent me six foots into the ground as I gulped down nothing. I was feeling hot within, what the hell have I gotten myself into ? How do I come out of this alive?
Just then, my aunt, Jezebel rushed to the scene with Isabella behind her. They knelt down in front of the Alphas, worshipping them as a sign of respect as they all diverted their gaze to them, seeming totally uninterested by their act.
“My lords…she isn't worthy to be called your mate…she is a cursed witch…this is my daughter, you can take her instead.” Jezebel blurted out, my eyes litting up in suprise and shock.
Cursed witch…? Why did she have to embarrass me further in their presence.
“My lord, choose me instead, don't I look breathaking.” Isabella mumbled, throwing seductive winks at them to which they ignored. I felt excitement jolt within me at their non challant attitude towards them.
“First thing tomorrow morning….we leave!” The trio stated at the same time in a loud, thunderous voice, referring to me as they ignored my aunt and Isabella completely like they were a plague.
My aunt pulled me home as she reigned several beatings and curses on me as usual. Isabella kept yelling and slapping me hard across the face, venting out her anger because she wasn't chosen.
I cried out and pleaded for them to stop with the hellish torment but my pleas fell on deaf ears.

Early the next day, I sensed a figure hovering around me as I stirred uncomfortably in my sleep. My eyes suddenly fluttered open to find Isabella, holding on to a sharp silver knife as she made to stab me with it but I screamed out in shock and rushed out of my bed. I didn't waste any second in the cottage before scrambling out at once, not sure of where I was going.
Maybe it would be better if I left with the triplets? My aunt and her daughter, Isabella were ready to send me six feets beneath the ground. Should I just continue to live with them and allow them kill me one day ? But worse still, staying with the triplets wasn't an option either, it might trigger out my trauma. They made it clear that they were rejecting me….so what was their reason for still demanding I left with them ? Was I about to get sold into s*****y? My head spun as my lips quivered at the thought.
Unfortunately for me, I found myself on my way to the triplets mansion. I was surrounded by them as their aura seemed to choke life out of me. I couldn't stop this from happening….I was just a weak omega who had no other choice but to succumb to their desires.
We finally arrived at their territory as they drove into the huge mansion made of rich marble and pure gold as my eyes was left to marvel at the sight.
I was yanked out of the car as we approached the entrance, the door was opened by a stunning lady, her beauty was astounding and her shiny porcelain skin was milky and smooth.
I noticed her go still as she glanced at me and back at the triplets. “And who is she?” She asked, her tone laced with uncertainty.
“Our new slave!!”
