Chapter 20
Third-Person Narrative.
Very early the next morning, Gwen’s father returned from his trip, so he could speak with the alpha regarding his daughter’s suspicions.
He demanded to see the alpha king as soon as he arrived at the palace. On seeing his friend, he made known the reason he had come to visit so early. And the alpha king told him that none of the allegations levied against his sons were true.
He had taught his sons the rules and regulations of guarding the pack and how they must keep up with the legacy that he had worked hard to build.
The alpha assured his friend that he had nothing to be scared of as Gwen was just being overly protective of her future mates, which was understandable.
After all, his triplets were the most sought-after bachelors in the entire kingdom. So, it was normal for any woman who found herself mated to them to be jealous and overly protective.
Gwen’s father, on hearing the alpha words, became relieved, once again reassured that his daughter’s position as the future Luna was safe.
After the meeting with the alpha ended, he requested to see his daughter and a servant want to call her. As soon as he saw his daughter climbing down the stairs, he started showering her with praise about how beautiful she was and how she was going to make the best Luna the pack had ever known.
Gwen was delighted to see her father, especially when he reassured her that she needed not to be scared of anything, as he had spoken with the alpha.
Although Gwen insisted that Gina was too confident and proud for her liking. Gina was very unlike the other maids, who would k**s the very floor she walked on; Gina had a mind of her own, and that infuriated her the most.
Gwen’s father was not happy with the fact that an ordinary servant would make his precious daughter so restless, so he asked her if she wanted Gina to be taken out of the way without anyone knowing what had happened to her.
Gwen tells her father that she is not bothered by what happened to Gina; after all, she was just an ordinary servant.
Her father asks her to leave Gina to him and that while he is secretly plotting her death, she should pretend to like Gina so that no one would suspect her when Gina is killed.
Gwen happily hugs her father and tells him how happy she is to have him as a father. Gwen’s father also serenades her with love and praise. He told her how he would do anything for her because she was the only thing that reminded him so much of her mother.
After a very long time of them talking, it was time for Gwen’s father to leave. But, before he left, he assured his daughter that she needed not to be bothered about anything because he would willingly place the world at her feet.
Gwen could hardly wait until her twenty-first birthday, as she imagined the most excruciating death penalty for Gina, whom she strongly believed had enchanted her beloved triplets.
With her birthday just a matter of days away, Gwen occupied herself with the preparations necessary to make herself look glamorous on her special day. She had started taking some supplements to make her a*s and breasts bigger.
Unknown to everyone, while Gwen made it look like she was comfortable with her skinny look, she didn’t exactly like it. Even though she had a pretty face, her body size was rather small.
Moreover, she had seen the way the triplets and the male servant lustfully stared at Gina every time she walked by. She secretly wished that she had fuller curves and a body just like Gina.
Since she wasn’t born that way, she was going to do her best to look like Gina. She intended to surprise everyone at her party with the killer curves she hopes to acquire in no distant time.
Gifts and congratulatory messages had started pouring in for her, and she basked in the love, attention, and praise she got from everyone around her.
She had told everyone who cared to listen that she was going to keep all three Alphas to herself, so they could all fight to get her attention.
On the other hand, the triplets are getting overwhelmed with the feeling of finally being mated to someone they share no iota of affection for.
Another thing that bothered the triplets was the fact that, as the day got closer, it would almost mean that Gina would have to leave the palace.
They had promised her freedom, and, as alphas, they couldn’t go back on their words. But somehow they felt that letting Gina go would thoroughly ruin them.
So one evening, the triplets decided to meet somewhere in the woods to talk about what they needed to do, as the thoughts of losing Gina kept them awake most of the night.
But unknown to them, Gina was somewhere nearby, collecting wood and sticks that would be used for the burning fire on Gwen’s birthday.
“How about we go rogue, taking Gina with us?” Devon suggested it to his brothers, who seemed to like the idea.
“But what about our pack?” “Remember, the prophecy also stated that if Gwen does not pick the right person among the three of us, there will be doom for our pack,” Denver reminded his brothers.
“So that sort of cancels the idea of us running away with Gina, so what should we do?” Derrick questioned.
“We could keep Gina as our mistress? I mean, we could go against our promise to her and never let her go,” Devon said with a shrug.
“I have thought of that also, but Gina might not like this,” Derrick said.
“Maybe at first, she might have some resentment towards us, but if we can prove to her that we did what we did out of love for her, she might agree to be around,” Devon said.
“I like that idea. “We will take care of her and protect her; she will live with us as our mistress,” Denver said.
“Me too; I think this will work.” Moreover, Gwen is expected to pick just one of us and then reject the other two after some time. “And I know she likes you, Denver, so I will happily mate her and make her mine,” Derrick said, but a little growl from his older brother sent him into silence.
“And what if she picks you?” After all, we all know that she can’t pick me; it’s going to be between you and Denver. You guys are both older, so it’s normal for her to pick from either of you. Devon said.
“Enough…” Denver barked at his brothers, who seemed not to notice that they were fighting for something they had no control over.
“You both can’t have Gina to yourselves; she was mine first. But notwithstanding, Gwen will be married to all three of us for some time before she can decide who she will spend the rest of her life with. So I suggest we keep our fingers crossed and make the woman that we truly love happy, so she does not think of leaving us,” Denver said, even if he secretly wanted Gina for himself.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The truth was that all three brothers wanted Gina to themselves, as they were not entirely comfortable having to share her. But being that they were all brothers, they tried to hide their jealousy, and that is why they would kill another guy who dared to come close to Gina.
“But what if she picks all three of us and the seer sees nothing wrong with it?” Derrick questioned with a saddened voice.
“Then it’s our fate; we won’t be able to fight it; we would have to kill our feelings for Gina and let her go because, honestly, I don’t think Gina would agree to be our mistress for so long,” Denver said.
Unknown to the triplets, Gina had been listening to all their conversations and hearing them talk about how they felt toward her, which sent her deeper into confusion.
On one hand, she was happy to know that the triplets genuinely loved her, but on the other hand, she was angry that they were going to make her stay only to become their mistress.
Gina felt the triplets were being overly selfish by agreeing to keep her after being mated to their future Luna.
She then made up her mind right there and then that she would escape on the night of her birthday.
The reason she settled for that day was that the entire pack would be so busy celebrating Gwen’s birthday that they wouldn’t notice when she would run away.
