The Cursed Triplet Alphas' Fated Mate-Chapter 28: Wretched Luck

Sue

"Rise and shine, my lady! And guess what?!" Iris whispered excitedly as she helped me into a sitting position, while at the same time, Ada threw the curtains of my room open, letting the sunlight in and temporarily blind me. I groaned a little as I massaged my aching eyes just as Iris continued.

"The three princes have asked you to come have breakfast with them this morning! Isn’t that exciting, my lady?" She continued, her voice getting louder with each word.

By the time she was done with her sentence, I was wide awake and my heart was dropping right into my stomach as a feeling of horror engulfed me from head to toe.

Me? Have breakfast with them after the embarrassing encounter I had with them last night in that wretched garden?!

Last night felt like a dream, or more like a nightmare, one which I never wish to relive. I had been unable to stop thinking about my encounter with the princes back in that garden since the moment the entire thing happened, but alas, I hadn’t been successful, because that was all I thought about till I fell asleep last night. Even while sleeping, I had a dream about it as well, and woke up when a pair of lips almost met with mine.

I couldn’t believe what happened in that garden actually happened. Me, trapped between three ridiculously hot men, and they had their hands on me, like I was some object.

Angelo, the one I almost believed was better than Damon, was actually much worse. The way he tugged on my hair... and the way Landon gripped my throat... I wish to completely erase that memory from my mind and never think about it again. However, the embarrassing sound I let out when that bastard Landon squeezed around my throat, had refused to leave my head— and whenever it reecho through my mind, I always wanted to die from utter shame and embarrassment.

Now, how do I want to face the triplets again after last night?

How would I be able to confidently hold their gazes?

"My lady, aren’t you excited?" Iris’ voice pulled me out of my mind, and a worried expression was across her face as she regarded me.

I cleared my throat as I got out of the bed before speaking.

"Please tell the triplets that I appreciate their offer but unfortunately can’t join them for breakfast." I said then began to head to the restroom.

Iris came around to stand before me, her eyes blown wide as she spoke. "My lady, you cannot reject an offer like this."

I frowned. "Why not?!"

"It’s an offer, but it’s also like an order, because no one says no to the crown princes. It’s a high privilege to be asked to eat with them." She explained and I let out an irritated scoff as I walked past her again.

"Tell them I’m not interested." I tell her agsin, and this time, Ada came to join her.

"My lady, please. This could get you punished. You should consider this an honor, seeing as you’re just a mistress here. But after attending this breakfast invite now, the rest of the brothers can decide to bed you as well, which means you’ll rise to a higher rank than mistres. Isn’t that exciting, my lady?" Iris was bouncing on her feet this time.

I slowly shook my head as I looked between the two of them. "No, it’s not exciting, and I’m not really a mis–" I bit on my bottom lip and sighed, then I shook my head when they kept staring at me expectantly.

"Never mind, but go tell the princes that I’m not interested in their breakfast." I said again as I got into the restroom, and as expected, the girls accompanied me at once.

"You don’t understand, my lady, this could get you killed." Ada explained this time and I scoffed as I washed my face. I wasn’t sure, but I had a very deep feeling that’s never gonna happen.

"Just do it, I’ll be fine." I told them without turning around.

Just imagining facing the princes after last night was making me feel so embarrassed and got on the insides, and I hate them for making me feel this way. Agsinst my will, my mind traveled to the dance I shared with Angelo yesterday, the feeling of his muscled body pressed against mine, ot his hands on my waist, and those eyes of his.

My insides grew hot again as I forcefully shoved those distracting thoughts away.

When I turned around this time, I spoke sternly. "Tell them I’m sick or something, which is why I can’t come down."

Thankfully, they left to deliver the message this time and I let out a long relieved breath.

Finally.

The three princes want to have breakfast with me? Why?

So they could continue from where they left off last night?

I scoffed as I angrily packed my hair into a bun, feeling extremely annoyed. Next time they think of putting their hands on me like they did last night, I’d make sure to show them! They got away with that last night because I didn’t have a knife on me, but from today onward, I’ll always carry one on me?

As I took off my clothes and prepared to shower, I imagined how long I’d be able to avoid the formidable triplets before I’d be unable to.

As the cold shower washed over me, I reminded myself to take one day at a time for my sanity sake.

As I showered, I tuned out all my thoughts and washed off thoroughly. I hated that despite showering last night, bit of my mates still hung around my body. Despite dancing with that handsome stranger named Hugo, his scent didn’t remain on me like theirs, and that irritated me so much, along with the fact that they thought they could just ask me to stay away from someone, without giving me a tangible reason, and I’d listen.

Heh. They have another thing coming for them!

Just because I acted like I agreed yesterday when they had me trapped between them, doesn’t mean that I meant to keep to my word.

I was gonna let Hugo touch me if I wanted.

Of course, I hadn’t meant it when I said I’d let Hugo kiss me if I wanted. I’ve literally never even had my first kiss, I had only been bluffing, but the reaction to that simple bluff had been so unexpected, it still had my head reeling till this very moment.

I sighed as I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around myself, then I stepped into the room just as the door flew open. Iris and Ada shot in, rushing straight to my side.

"Have you told them that I’m ill?" I asked and they both nodded.

"Good."

"But my lady, they’re all coming up to your room right now, to come check up on you!"

My mouth fell open as my heart fled into my throat. "What?!" I screeched just as strong footsteps echoed a few feet away.

I glanced down at myself. I was dripping all over the floor and clad in only a towel. I refused their invitation to breakfast because I didn’t want to face them after last night, and they’re coming here right now??!

What kind of wretched luck is this?
