The Cursed Triplet Alphas' Fated Mate-Chapter 24: in between three brothers

Damon

I was beyond furious. My father’s announcement kept echoing through my head even as the entire crowd clapped and roared with happiness over the news.

Get married and mate with Adele? I’d never do such a thing! I couldn’t even imagine myself doing such, that’s how much I hated that thought.

As my father was stepping off the stage, our three betrotheds were running towards us to embrace us like we were a happy couple. As Anna pressed herself tightly against my side and hugged my arm to her chest, I had to silently count to ten in my head to rein in my temper, while reminding myself that I had to be nice to her and tolerate her in public. All our betrotheds are aware of this, and that’s why once in public, they tend to do a lot of stuff they can try with us behind closed doors.

Having had enough, I shrugged Adele’s grip off, scoffing at the sight of a pout on her lips as she blinked up at me.

"Damon, we’d be getting married soon! Soon, as in, in a few weeks! Aren’t you excited? Cause I am!" She yelled excitedly.

"We’ll become a happy family, along with our child. I’ll mind into your bedroom, and we’d fall in love, then..,"

"Enough, Adele. None of that would happen so stop being so delusional." I bit out sharply and she flinched a little.

Her eyes welled up with tears, but I knew better than to fall for those.

" you’re always hurting me with your words, Damon. What did I do for you to hate me so much?" She sniffed as she stared up at me.

I stared at her for a few moments before scoffing and turning away. Not wanting to be in her presence any longer, I moved through the crowd till I stepped outside the hall. I went to the side of it, choosing to stay in the garden right there.

I let out a long breath as I stared at the empty sky, feeling my chest expand a little. I still feel hella furious despite no longer being in there.

I couldn’t believe our father would do this!

We always talk about any major decisions that involved us before a conclusion can be made. So, how did he come to this conclusion by himself? That we’d really get together with our betrothed and make them our chosen mates?

Well, that’s never gonna happen. He has another thing coming from him.

I raked a finger through my hair, feeling beyond irritated. I was still feeling furious that fucking Hugo put his hand on our mate, and now, this recent development.

I heard a rustle behind me and on glancing over my shoulder, surprise and something settled in my chest at the sight of Sue slowly approaching me. She didn’t stop till she was standing right beside me, but there’s about a five feet gap between us.

I was surprised that she was here right now, and she was the last person I expected to come out here, considering the fact that we never get along and always argued.

Silence stretched out between us. Her scent wafted into my nose and i greedily breathed it in, while desperately craving the scent from the direct source.

After a while, she cleaned her throat beside me.

"Um, are you okay?" She finally mumbled and I glanced over at her, feeling amused because for someone asking that question, it almost sounded like she was grumbling.

"Do you really care? I want a genuine answer."

I asked while staring at her. When she glanced at me, she gulped before looking away and folding her arms.

"Well, I don’t." She muttered before adding. "I’m only here because it’s weird that you left and your mistress didn’t chase after you to find out if something is wrong."

I let out a snort as I fully turned around to fully regard her. "Really now?"

She nodded, still folding her arms.

"Of course. It’s also weird that I’m your mistress but we never interacted for once tonight." She continued and I felt the side of my lips twitch as I took a step forward. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"So this means you miss our interaction?"

Her eyes widened as she glanced back at me. "What? Of course not. Why the fuck would I miss arguing with you constantly like we’re little kids?"

I shrugged and folded my arms. "I don’t know, you tell me."

She let out a scuff of disbelief as she fully turned till she’s also facing me, then she pointed a hand at me. "You’re impossible as usual. I shouldn’t have come out here."

I took another step forward this time just as she whirled around to leave, grabbing her hand before I could even think about what I just did. Her eyes widened and she looked up at me with confusion, especially when she tried pulling her hand away but I didn’t let go.

I still wasn’t sure of why I grabbed her hand, but I didn’t want to let go.

A normal person would say it was because I didn’t want her to leave, but alas, I wasn’t normal the slightest.

I tugged on her arm and she stumbled forward, stabling herself by placing a hand over my chest.

"What the..." she began but I cut her off.

"Why did you dance with Hugo?"

Her brows furrowed in confusion at first before she realized what I was talking about.

"I- I don’t understand. The fine, polite gentleman I danced with? Why shouldn’t I have danced with him?"

"Because you’re my... mistress. You shouldn’t have let him put his filthy hands on you." I bit out, my grip tightened on her wrist as I felt anger resurface within me as the image of her and that fuvking Hugo resurfaced across my mind.

"I didn’t do anything wrong!" She cried out but I let out a laugh filled with disbelief before I tugged her even closer.

"But you did. You let him put his hands on you."

"Why do you care though? I can dance with whoever I want. I’m not really your mistress so that means nothing."

I bristled with anger as I regarded her right now.

"I don’t care about anything you do or whoever you dance with. I only have a problem because it’s Hugo." I snapped and she laughed right in my face, like she was literally begging to be out over my knees and be spanked till her ass reddens.

"Well, I don’t care if you have a problem with that, that’s your problem to deal with! I’ll dance with Prince Hugo again if I want. I’ll let him put his hands around me if I like. Heck, I’ll even let him kiss me if I want!"

"You’ll do no such thing!"

Landon’s voice echoed loudly and on glancing sideways, I noticed Landon and Angelo approaching us.

"You’ll let him kiss you?" Angelo asked slowly as he stopped beside us, his eyes focused on Sue. Sue’s face was red either anger or embarrassment, or both. She tried freeing herself from my grip again, but I didn’t release my hold from her wrist.

"If that’s what I want, then why not?! I’ll let him kiss me and even do much more to me!" She snapped, her eyes darting between the three of us.

The anger that bloomed within me this time was much worst, and a growl left my throat before I could stop it.

"You’ll do no such thing." Landon declared, his eyes blazing with anger.

When Angelo stepped forward to fully close the distance between us, I wasn’t sure of what I expected, but it wasn’t for him to bury his hair in our mate’s hair and wrench her head backward as he growled against her ear.

"That’s never gonna happen, kitten. Else I’d kill him and make you watch while that happens. Is that what you want?"
