Mated To The Alphas; Three is not a crowd (Book one)

Greedy w***e

Liam

She watched us walk away and Lucas closed the door with a loud bang.

“Is there something wrong? Why did you have to be so loud?" Lucien asked.

Lucas didn't bother answering or turning back. Lucien and I just followed him as he walked upstairs.. there was a certain silence between us but it spoke louder than words.

I'm sure neither of my brothers expected the conversation to have gone the way it did. Personally, I hadn't expected Camilla to have agreed to our deal mainly because of the way she saw us… our species in particular.

I grabbed the best chair before Lucien and made a goofy face at him and he just stuck his tongue at me. No one said anything and Lucas just stared out of the window.

“Well, that was a surprisingly successful meeting, if I can call it that. " I decided to break the silence. “The last thing I thought would happen was that she would agree to our proposal."

“Yeah…the crazy part is that she did it without hesitation. At first, I was getting skeptical about asking her about it but then when she accepted without a second thought, I was shocked. She gave it some thought but I never expected it to be this fast”.

Lucien looked really excited about this and I looked at my brother's smile fully for the first time in a while. There hadn't really been a reason for happiness amongst us in a while.

“I'll protect her." The look in his eyes as he said it was so dreamy and if I didn't know better, I'd say that he had his eye on Camilla before now.

“We all will, brother. She's ours now and we'll do our best to make sure no harm comes to her ever again."

Lucien shook my hand and we smiled.

Lucas didn't say anything so I looked at him and so did Lucien. He noticed that the room was silent and he looked at the both of us.

That didn't push him to say anything and he just looked away from us and rolled his eyes. He took a seat at the corner of the room and Lucien took the one beside me.

“Well, this calls for celebration. I'll get drinks." I announced.

“Well, it would have been our downfall if we hadn't been careful. We almost lost control and If Camilla hadn't entered the car, we would have done something we wouldn't be happy with" Lucien stated.

“Oh please!" Lucas finally spoke up “It's not like it's our fault. It's all because of that darned curse. If not, we won't have been so occupied that we forgot that it was a full moon. We would have prepared for it. "

“Yeah Lucien, he has a point. What happened was something we had to take care of urgently so we couldn't have known."

Everything was happening all at once and it wasn't our fault. We had been going after something for a while and just when we thought we had got it… Camilla jumped into the picture.

“Guys, now that I think about it, do you think it was the right thing to do by bringing her into the picture, into all this? Now that the curse bond is out for blood, I feel it's very dangerous for her."

The guys looked at me and then looked at each other.

Lucas was the first to speak up. He leaned forward on his chair and sipped a glass of champagne that magically appeared out of nowhere.

“Liam, you know why I always say you're a child?" I rolled my eyes at him. I hated it when he started acting like he was smarter than all of us. “That's because you take things too seriously."

“Lucas-"

“You need to understand one thing." He pointed his finger at me “ It seems you've lost track of what has been going on and I need to help set you back on track. Camilla is nothing more than a mere plaything. She will never be qualified to be our mate no matter what happens. Besides, we gave her a choice. As you earlier stated, we asked her and she agreed. It's not like we forced her or anything."

There was only one reason I was being quiet with him. It was because of Lucien. He didn't like it when I argued with Lucas. According to him, he enjoyed it when I gave him the reaction he wanted.

He spoke up for me instead.

“Lucas, you know that you're being irrational for no reason, right? Cammila did us a favor by agreeing to be ours. There's no reason for you to insult her or be harsh."

He just rolled his eyes. That was one thing I hated about him. He didn't care about any other person but himself and no matter what anyone said, all that matters to him was what he believed.

“How dumb are you? " Lucas smirked and stood up from his chair “How can I have respect for a woman that choose wealth over her own safety? She chose to take our money over staying with us… tell me, how I can respect a golddigger?!

She is nothing but a greedy w***e and she's a very materialistic person and you guys shouldn't forget that the next time you decide to give me a lesson about my morals."

In all of this, I sat quietly, watching the both of them. That was when I understood something.. Lucas was angry at Camilla because we were about to get what we were after before she showed up.

If she hadn't showed up, we would have accomplished our mission. But that didn't matter to me, we managed to save a life and that's all that matters.

The word w***e kept ringing over and over in my head after he said it. Due to the fact that I was already mad at him, calling Camilla a w***e made me so much angrier butI held back my anger… It was no use lashing out at him.

Our mission… was to eliminate Alaric.
