The Cursed Triplet Alphas' Fated Mate-Chapter 21: Posessiveness?

Angelo

"Fucking Hugo..." Damon bit out in a low, angry voice beside me. When I glanced at him, his jaw was clenched so tightly and his grip on my shoulder was so tight, but I didn’t bother to point that out because I had a feeling he was using that touch to ground himself.

"You’re angry?" I asked before I could stop myself, but I wanted to fully clarify things.

He shot me a sharp look before dropping his hand from my shoulder.

"Of course I am. Hugo is a fucking snake, and someone like her who’s stupid and gullible wouldn’t be able to tell." He huffed out as he spoke and beside me, Landon also turned to give him a surprised look.

"So you care about what happens to her?" Landon asked and Damon scoffed while rolling his eyes.

"Of course not. Why the fuck would I do?" He shot at us with his eyes narrowed.

"So you’re not jealous?" Landon continued and Damon looked at us like we suggested that he skinned dip before a crowd of five thousand.

"Why would I be?" He questioned before rolling his eyes and glancing away.

"Well, I do feel jealous right now." I announced as my eyes settled back on the middle of the ballroom where my mate was in the arms of fucking Hugo. He was grinning down at her and she was grinning right back. This is the first time I’m seeing her smile, because our first and only encounter was of her glaring and frowning at me.

I know it was ridiculous for me to feel jealous and possessive over her so far, considering that I barely know anything about her and that she was the daughter of our enemy and someone we’re supposed to instantly kill as soon as we got a hold of her. My father musnt know who she is, else he’d have her killed at once as revenge for all her father did to him and our pack.

Despite all of that, and still knowing that she was a hybrid, I still felt possessive over her, like she belonged to me, and should be getting touched like this by either myself or my brothers and no one else.

Within me, my wolf was furious as well.

Without stopping to think twice, I stalked forward.

At once, the crowd parted and so many people bowed as I kept walking forward. I didn’t stop till I was right beside Sue and Hugo.

They were so engrossed in their dance, moving around while speaking quietly between themselves like they were lovers or something. Rage filled up my veins in a really strong wave and I had to physically force myself to not tear into Hugo’s throat right now.

Hugo was the first to notice me. He stared at me from above her head and the side of his lips twitched for a moment. At the same time, Sue stiffened and stopped moving, almost like she could tell that I was here without turning around yet.

What I wanted to do was to grab Sue and firmly pull her away from Hugo. However, we’re currently in public, and that might send a completely different message to everyone.

"Sorry to interrupt, but I’d like to have a dance with this gorgeous swan as well." I breathed out, forcing the anger to bled away from my voice completely.

Sue slowly turned around to face me just as Hugo stepped forward and shook his head, a warm, faux smile across his lips.

"I’m afraid that I’m not yet done with the dances this fine jewel promised me tonight." He murmured in a voice that’s supposed to sound pleasant and polite, but I could detect the undertones in it.

I returned his smile with one of mine as I spoke. "I was asking the gorgeous woman, Hugo."

His grin widened as he nodded. "Of course, cousin."

I forced myself to still keep my smile on as I gave hin one last glance before focusing on Sue who had her lips pursed. I held a hand out to her.

"I don’t think I want to dance with you tonight." She informed me and I felt a burn of embarrassment wash over me while Hugo lightly chuckled beside me.

The fucking snake. I want to wring his throat so bad right now.

When I focused on Sue again, I silently acknowledged that she was definitely hell bent on making us work for every damn crumb.

No wonder Damon almost complained.

"Just one dance, please gorgeous?" I breathed out again as Hugo tried to interrupt us but I held a hand in his face, shutting him up.

I could feel everyone staring at us in curiousity, but I paid them no mind.

After letting out another sigh, Sue turned to Hugo, apologized to him about cutting his promised dances shut then nodded at me as she accepted my hand.

As Hugo bowed one last time before stepping off the stage, I focused on Sue, feeling mesmerized by her gorgeous eyes as I drew her other hand over my shoulder then I placed my hand across her slim waist.

"You look so lovely tonight." I stated quietly as I let my eyes slowly rake over her body.

I wasn’t sure of the response I expected, but it definitely wasn’t a cute blush appearing in her cheeks.

The sight made my heart ache for some weird reasons.

"You interrupted my dance," she mumbled, an unimpressed look on her face this time.

I let out a small huff as I spinned her around, then I tugged her closer till she was almost flushed against my chest. In this position, her scent filled up my lungs even more, in such a way that was almost maddening.

"I guess I just wanted a dance with you really badly," I revealed but she didn’t seem like she believed me, which made me laugh again as I dipped her elegantly. Our eyes locked and it was like time got suspended for a few seconds before I righted her, then we began to move again.

Slowly, more people began to move onto the dance floor, and even without turning, I could feel my betrothed glaring daggers at me right now.

Her gaze would always be familiar and I’d always feel it because I was so used to how it felt. It made my skin crawl. I detested everything about her.

And I’ve never tried to hide it.

Unlike my brothers, I’ve never bedded my betrothed for once, not even as a mistake. That’s how much I hate her.
