Bullied Mate Of The Alpha Triplets

Two

Ember’s POV

“You certainly know how to make an entrance,” he remarked a hint of amusement in his voice.

Shivering, partly from the cold water and partly from the unexpected assistance from the last person I thought would come to my aid, I mumbled a thank you, still shocked that Caleb had just saved me from an embarrassing situation.

“Look, I didn’t do it for you,” he stated flatly, as if reading my thoughts. “I just didn’t want to deal with the mess of explaining why there’s a drowned omega in our pack’s backyard.”

Standing there dripping wet, the cold night air sending chills through my skin, I glanced down to find my white top clinging to me like a second skin, now semi-transparent.

My face flushed with embarrassment as I realized my black bra and cleavage were now on display in front of Caleb. Hastily, I crossed my arms, attempting to cover whatever was left of my dignity.

Feeling even more awkward when I noticed Caleb's gaze lingering on me, a mischievous glint in his hazel eyes, "You might want to cover up unless you're trying to make a lasting impression."He said.

My cheeks burned with a deeper shade of red as I shot him an exasperated look. "Could you, I don't know, turn around or something?"

“Trust me, Ember, as sexy as you look right now, I’d never be interested in someone of your class,” he mocked, tossing his hoodie at me before turning his back and walking away towards the darker part of the pack house, his trace covered by shadows.

I clenched my jaw in annoyance, quickly pulling the hoodie over myself, grateful for the cover it provided. The fabric was warm and carried a faint scent of him, causing my wolf to stir within me, finding strange comfort in Caleb’s scent – a blend of woody notes and a hint of spice.

"Ember! Where are you?" Alpha Dominic's voice echoed, urging me to hurry towards him.

"There you are," he said, his eyes scanning my disheveled appearance. "I was starting to worry. What happened?"

I bit my lip, debating whether to mention the incident with Caleb. Before I could respond, Alpha Dominic gestured for me to follow him.

"Come inside. It's not safe to wander around at night, especially for an omega."

Inside the pack house, the warm glow of lights replaced the cold darkness outside. Alpha Dominic led me through the expansive halls, beautifully decorated with luxurious furnishings.

We entered a well-lit sitting room, where the triplets were seated. Lucas's piercing ice-blue eyes were focused on his phone screen. Caleb's eyes followed my every move, his dark hair now in a man bun. Tristen's emerald green eyes shot daggers at me, his look cold and dismissive.

"Ember, meet my sons, Tristen, Caleb, and Lucas."

“Our little charity case has arrived,” Tristen snickered.

“Be nice, show her to her room, and help her get settled,” Alpha Dominic instructed before leaving the room, leaving me alone with the intimidating triplets.

I stood awkwardly, unsure of what to do or say.

“Follow me,” Lucas said coldly, a nonchalant expression on his face.

I followed him as we walked through the hallways until we reached a door. He opened it, revealing a simple yet elegant room, a big upgrade from my old room.

"Here's your room," Lucas said, his tone devoid of warmth. "Make yourself at home, or whatever."

With that, he turned on his heel and left me standing there, feeling like an unwelcome guest. Today had been extremely stressful, and all I wanted to do was crash on the bed and fall asleep.

The next morning, when I woke up, the sun had already completely risen, casting bright rays of light inside my new room.

“s**t! I’m going to be late,” I exclaimed upon seeing the time.

I quickly completed my morning routine and ran downstairs towards the dining room. My loud footsteps caught the attention of Alpha Dominic’s family. Their eyes turned towards me, the triplets glaring at me.

“You’re awake,” Anna, Alpha Dominic’s mate and the pack’s Luna, said in a friendly tone.

“Come have your breakfast, Lucas, Tristen, and Caleb will take you to school afterward,” she said, just finishing up her breakfast.

“Okay, thanks,” I muttered, although the idea of going on the same ride with the triplets to school made me a bit uneasy.

Anna and Dominic exited the room, leaving me alone with the rest of the triplets who were still eating their breakfast.

Quietly, I made my way towards one of the empty chairs that had a tray of food in front of it, assuming it was mine.

Just as I was about to take a spoonful of my meal, Tristen quickly grabbed my tray of food away from me, removed the cap of his water bottle, and dumped its contents onto my tray.

“I don't think your body would need any more food,” Tristen mocked, making his two brothers laugh at his ‘joke’.

I felt my eyes brim with unshed tears, but I forced myself to hold them back to prevent showing any weakness.

“Get up, let's go, unless you fancy the idea of walking to school,” Caleb sneered at me.

The idea of walking to the Academy seemed more appealing than sharing a ride with the triplets, but I was already running late, so walking to school was out of the question.

“Move it, we don’t have much time,” Lucas said irritably.

The triplets were already on their way outside of the pack house, heading to their luxury silk-black car. I quickly hurried as fast as I could to catch up with their long strides.

The car ride to school was surprisingly peaceful, as the triplets didn’t bother paying any attention to my presence, luckily.

As we pulled out of the Academy driveway, I cringed at the stares of the majority of the students, their eyes on me or rather on the popular triplets…

“Why the hell is that girl riding with you guys to school!!?!” Diana yelled.

Diana, the self-acclaimed queen bee in Lunar Haven Academy, aka Lucas's girlfriend.

Behind her were Vera and Fiona, Tristen and Caleb's girlfriends. They were just as pissed as Diana and looked like they were minutes away from pouncing on me.

Well, s**t!
