My Mates are Three Bullies

Chapter 3.

She grumbled, got up from the piano bench, and headed for the stairs while I murmured a curse under my breath that she could not hear. "Yes, Luna, they are the reason he went," I said in agreement.

"At long last, you are waking up! Before Steffan returns home tonight, I want to make all the necessary changes to his room. Place several lavender pots next to his bed—you know he adores the scent." Her eyes brightened with delight as she giggled to herself.

"Okay, Luna. I muttered something, then watched her go away before getting up.

I hurried to my room to change before heading to work, frantically running my hands through my hair. Luna sent me a white dress with flowers on it when I was about to give up after labouring for hours on end. It was not particularly noteworthy as she provides the same attire for every employee.

I was invited to assist in welcoming newcomers along with others as they began to arrive. My stomach was rumbling with hunger, but I knew it would get me into trouble, so I tried not to show it.

A gasp echoed through the room and reached me. Everyone applauded and took pictures of David and Joel's parents as they got out of the car.

I continued peering over people's shoulders, praying that Steffan, David, and Joel would not show up, and it appeared that my wishes had come true because I was unable to see them.

A tiny smile formed on my lips.

"It appears like they are still at odds. That brings me joy! I sincerely hope I never see them again.

Their parents and every other person in the crowd had sad expressions on them, and I could see it. Luna was searching for him repeatedly, and I could see that her fingers were shaking. Putting his hands around her waist, Steffan's father, The Alpha, reassured her that everything would be alright.

I could not help but grin at seeing everything. It all felt so good.

I grinned to myself and muttered, "Lavender is his favourite," as I considered how content Steffan's mother was and how she had instructed me to prepare for her son's return.

We all went inside because they did not appear. I heard the boom of cars entering the property just as I was going to close the door.

Three separate luxury vehicles were operating inside.

Many people gasped, and questions arose about who may have drove in. I was attracted, too, even though my emotions was trying to tell me otherwise. The automobiles' doors slowly opened, and I nearly lost my breath when I watched the three males walk out of the vehicles.

My hands, which were on the doorknob, hung helplessly by my sides as I said, "No, this can not be.""

I was seeing things at the time that I could not believe, so I shook my head gently.

Steffan, David, and Joel could not possibly be here.

I thought I was seeing things, did not I? Because it was impossible that the three haughty individuals I detested the most were in front of me! The roars and applause from the audience snapped me back to reality. I realised then that I was not dreaming or imagining anything since what I was witnessing was absolutely genuine.

When their eyes met, there was a chilly look on their features that told me they were still at odds. With heads lowered in respect, all the girls approached them at a sedate pace.

I was so stunned that I did not even realise I ought to lower my head in respect for them.

All of the memories I had been attempting to push away suddenly returned, and the cruelty and violence with which they had treated nearly everyone made me feel as though I might have a panic attack. I covered my hands with my lips and felt like I was about to pass out from stomach pain and bile coming to my throat.

I dashed inside and made my way straight to the toilet, where I puked. Relieved, I got up and ran to the washbasin to wash my hands, splattering water all over my face. I was going to duck my head and squirt water on my face once more when I glanced in the mirror. Nothing about me gave the impression that I was the same as everyone else. Nothing at all! My eyes looked like they had black circles under them.

I assume the obnoxious girls who had been unpleasant to me before were to blame for the open wound that was now directly next to my eye.

My brown hair was falling over my shoulders, so I reached for it to tie it into a large, messy bun. I undid the hair band that was around my wrist.

All I could think as I stared at my depressed reflection in the mirror was, "How sad!" I let out a frustrated groan and made my way to the door.

"I am hoping all goes well. I hope Steffan has changed and that we do not cross paths tonight." I said a short prayer to the goddess of the moon. I was hoping that this time she would respond. I sincerely hoped that she would stop being silent towards me because she had never responded to me.

I told the head worker that I was not feeling well and that I wanted to spend the night in bed as I slowly made my way to the kitchen.

Someone grabbed me by the wrist as soon as I arrived and thrust a tray straight into my hands.

April, you are aware that you should not be outside the house alone at night, do not you? The Luna would not let anything get in the way of her because this is a significant occasion. The head helper, Mrs. Cara, patted me on the back.

"Nonetheless, I..." I was apprehensive because all I wanted to do was cuddle up in bed and cry myself to sleep.

"With no buts!" She shot me a cold look as she spoke up.

"Yes, ma'am." I hurriedly balanced the tray in my hands, spoke what little I could to her, and walked out of the kitchen. I really was not jealous of my life.

I grinned and ducked my head as I hurried to the hall where the guests were waiting.

All across the room, one could hear the clinking of glasses and the conversation of the guests. The arrangement of the lighting gave the hall a classic beauty. But my admiration for it was short-lived.

I swiftly looked everywhere for the three Alphas, but I was unable to locate them, so I swallowed the knot in my throat. I exhaled a breath of relief, thinking that if they had just chosen to go, I was truly blessed. Perhaps the Moon goddess did, in fact, choose to show me a little mercy.

"Maybe they were just trying to entertain!" Serving wine to the visitors with a bright smile that appeared a little less forced than usual, I thought to myself. I was really happy that I was unable to witness the three young Alphas, for whatever reason.

I gave the Luna a huge smile and flashed my teeth when I noticed that she was staring at me. I was ready to head back to the kitchen when I heard the sound of clicking high heels halting just behind me. She stopped staring at me, and I let out a small breath of relief. That sounded like disaster, oh dear. I came to a halt and pivoted to identify the person. It had been quite quick for my newfound luck with the Moon goddess to materialise.

Guess what, Hailey and Brianna, her fellow demons, were with the little she-devil Penelope. My heart raced with terror as soon as I spotted them, and I hastily lowered my head to avoid a scene.

It is a joy to have you here. How may I assist you?" My voice breaking, I informed them, clutching the tray so tightly that I thought my veins would burst.
