LOILA. “Oh yes, don't mind me. Of course, I will keep you updated. Yeah, you too.“ I ended the call with a smile on my face, as I carried my luggage to the other side of the road. Maryam's call had just come in immediately I climed down the plane and turned my mobile phone on. I shook my head as I let out a puff of air through my nose and mouth, while waiting waiting for a call from Alpha Felix. He had promised to send someone over to pick me up at the airport immediately our plane landed, and I would have given him a call or at least texted him to know that I was now ready to be driven home, but I knew he would be keeping tabs on me. I sighed when my phone went off with a notification. I swiped the notification button down, and read the message that he sent. 'A red Ford is coming to pick you up. We are waiting for you sweetheart. Can't wait for you to finally come home.' Smiling like a two years old girl, I turned off the light on my phone and crossed my hands, my mouth forming into a thin line. My mind gradually went down my memory lane. I could remember vividly that after my father passed away, Alpha Felix and his Luna had treated me with love and care, as if I was their biology daughter. They did everything they could to make me happy but one thing they had no idea about is the fact that I didn't receive that same treatment from their sons. It seemed like their sons were from an entirely different planet from their parents. Where Alpha Felix and Luna Angelina would be sweet and caring, his sons were arrogant, bullies and idiotic fellows. They made life miserable for me but I had no guts in me to report to their parents, knowing that they would never change and that it would only increase their bullying. I tried shutting my mind off, not wanting to remember any piece of my past especially the fact that running away from them caused me a lot more trauma than their bullying had. Tears stuck in my eye gland but I refused to let them fall because I knew the moment I allow a single tear to fall down my face, that I wouldn't be able to control the outburst of the dam which is already full. My breathing hitched as I tried to control my nerves. I was doing okay back there in the states. No, I wasn't. I know it and I am not ready to deny anything. I know the reason why I came back is to find a healing somehow but then, I think I have made a mistake of my life because it wasn't going to be possible with those boys around the house. What if they make me another object of their bullying? No, I wouldn't allow them get to me this time around. No, I am going to stop them from ever getting to me again and somewhere at the back of my mind, I hoped they had really changed. That all of them would have matured by now and not bother me once I got back home. “A penny for your thoughts.” A rough voice snapped me out of my musings, and I turned, wide eyed, at the man standing before me. It took me a moment to recognize who it was. My left hand immediately clamored over my mouth, stifling the loud scream that was threatening to come out. It was none other than Romeo, another part of the triplet's lives that wasn't a demon. Although he isn't all saint himself, but he's a far cry to what those devils really are. My face broke into a pleasant smile as I ran into his outstretched arms. I wiggled my body against his, and I could feel him shuffling my hair. I pulled away and snapped his hand off, making sure that I had my best stern look on. “No touching of air, dude. I'm no more a freaking little girl. I'm a grown arse girl right now.” His eyes roamed over my body, seeming as though he was eye stripping me. He had this cute smile on his made that made him look more handsome. But not more handsome than the boys. Oh f**k! What's wrong with me? “Ah, I can see that for myself.” He teased, showing his nice set of teeth. “I can see that all that package is right in shape.” I rolled my eyes and poked at his chest. This was the part where I said he was not innocent as well. He would always tease me whenever he deemed it okay. And don't ask me why he never stopped his cousin's bullying on me. No one knew what I went through under those devil's hands. To the world, I was their little baby sister but when we are alone, I am nothing but a rag doll. “Keep your eyes to yourself right now, or else I promise you that you would be going back home with only one of them working.” I threatened, pointing my finger at him. He watched me for a while longer before finally laughing. “We all know that isn't possible, right? Come baby girl, we better start heading home now before Alpha Felix cuts off my innocent little man, thinking the worst had happened.” “Wait, are you the one to pick me up?” I had thought it was pure coincidence that we managed to meet. I never knew.... He nodded his head with a smug look on his face. I looked behind him to see it was true. There was in deed a brand new red Ford sitting nicely not far from us. I turned back to look at him to find him appraising him. I would have snapped his head off his neck right now if not for the look in his eyes. There was only admiration for me and not desire, and for a splitting second, I was disappointed at the fact that he didn't see me as more than his sister. Not like I wanted him to. “Eyes on the road dude,” I punched his arm lightly. “Not up to thirty minutes since I arrived, and you are already behaving like you can't wait to get your hands on me.“ He made to catch me but I moved back immediately, sticking my tongue at him. We filed into the car and we spent the next two hours chatting before finally arrived at the pack. I noticed the little crowd in front of our house. Alpha Felix and his Luna stood side by side, as though they had been waiting patiently for our arrival. An emotion that I had not felt since I left the pack surged through me in waves. I grabbed tightly onto the car seat to get myself together. I don't want them seeing me like this. My eyes skittered to the other side of the road, and I felt a jolt pass through me, seeing the three devils smiling brightly in my direction. Of course, it was all a show. They were only trying to show their parents that they were happy to see me again and I knew once I went up to my room, that I would be getting a stern warning from them. And I knew this wasn't something that I couldn't actually stop from happening, but I made a promise to myself to never let them get to me again. I felt a hand on my knee, and I turned to find Romeo's concerned face watching me. He opened his mouth to say something but I raised my hand to stop him. “No, let's go down.” I climbed down from the car and started walking towards where the Alpha and his Luna stood beaming with smiles. And as I passed them, I perceived three delicious scents that I already knew belonged to the triplets. And that was another strange thing that I hated about them. No matter how much bullying I received from them, I was always drawn to their tantalizing scents and I never understood the reason behind that fact. Not then, and definitely not now. “Greetings Alpha Felix and Luna Angelina.“ I bowed slightly, watching as their smiles faded away. “Loila....” Luna Angelina started but the alpha grabbed her hand, and shook his head. I knew what she was going to say but I wasn't going to think about it. Actually, the two of them had really wanted me to be addressing them as mom and dad when we finally bonded, but his sons were the problem. They wouldn't have it especially Mario. He always seemed to have a problem seeing me with his parents so I thought not to cause any more problems for them than I had already, I should keep addressing them with their title. “Come, let's go in.” Luna Angelina finally got her voice, she seemed hurt and I felt guilty for causing her so much pain when all they had done was take care of me. But I knew I couldn't show any emotion towards them, knowing their sons were possibly glaring daggers at me.
