The Cursed Triplet Alphas' Fated Mate-Chapter 45: Disbelief

Sue

Damon got to his feet, looking very furious. "Of course we are, you’re his daughter after all," he snapped as he gave me a very harsh look.

"You should definitely be punished for that and you’re well aware of that. That’s how things had worked for centuries, a child gets to suffer the sins of his father: so you saying you’re not aware of that doesn’t change anything." Damon continued in a sharp voice that made me swallow emptily as I stared at him from my spot a few feet away from them.

I let out a long breath then I cleared my throat before speaking.

"So... does this mean you’re all gonna punish me?" I asked quietly and when they didn’t respond, I let out a scoff of disbelief.

"You told me you’d never hurt me, you said I wasn’t a prisoner here, and you said you’d protect me." I breathed out and Damon snorted before rolling his eyes.

"Stop being delusional, that was before we got to know of your father’s crimes. Now, we’ll definitely punish you if we want," he responded sharply and I scoffed again.

"You father made all those things up and I can’t believe you all couldn’t see right through him! I used to think you were all smart?" I hurled out before I could stop myself.

"Enough." Angelo snapped out sharply and I flinched. He was still sitting, but the sudden power that came over the room made my knees shake a little as I got consumed with the feeling of wanting to drop to my knees for no reason. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"We’re not gonna punish you," Landon finally spoke after a few minutes stretched out in silence. At once, my eyes widened in surprise.

"You’re not?" I asked while staring at the three of them in surprise.

"Yes, because unfortunately, we still need you," he responded and I blinked in confusion.

"Need me? For what?" I asked but he didn’t say anything again. That made me feel so damn frustrated.

"Wait... whatever the reason it is that you need me for, if that hasn’t been the case, would you have let your father kill me?" I asked before I could stop myself. Landon gave me an eye roll while Damon responded without hesitations.

"Yes, of course." He informed me and I felt something stab through my chest.

Wow: these bastards.

These cruel bastards.

"Even if we still end up officially accepting you as our mate, you’ll never become our Luna anymore," Angelo began from his spot on the couch and my heart felt hollow again. Just a few hours ago, I had been looking forward to when I’d finally start ruling, and now, that thought felt like a funny joke to me right now.

"So, who’ll become your Luna then?" I asked after a few seconds.

Landon waved me off. "You don’t need to bother yourself about that, after all it initially had nothing to do with you."

I let out a shaky exhale. I felt so betrayed right now. After they forced me to agree to get married to them, I had comforted myself with the Luna position I’d get from that. I should have known that would have been too good to be true.

"You can’t not make me your Luna though, initially that’s what I’m supposed to get in exchange for getting married to you against my will. If you take that one thing away from me, it means I won’t get anything out of this forced union." I forced each word through my mouth as I stared between the three brothers.

"You are still so bold for someone who’s supposed to be on her knees begging for our forgiveness." Damon drawled and I resisted the urge to glare at him because I just knew that wouldn’t help my situation out in any way.

"We had no qualms before about you becoming our Luna, but after what we discovered today, then that’s never gonna happen," Landon explained this time, his eyes still cold and chilly as he stared at me.

"That’s the truth. Someone linked to the person responsible for our mother’s demise can’t ever get on the throne," Angelo said as he finally got to his feet and shoved his hands into his pockets.

"So, where does that leave me?" I asked quietly when they all turned to leave.

"What am I supposed to do after getting forced into that marriage with you three?" I asked, already feeling on the verge of tears.

Damon snorted as he stepped closer to me. I couldn’t believe that I ever felt a second of softness and concern for him.

"You might not have to get married to us anymore." He revealed and my eyes widened, my heart hammering against my chest.

"I- is that so?" I whispered, my mind reeling, while I kept waiting for a feeling of happiness to engulf me, and so far, I felt completely nothing.

"Yup," Damon drawled in response,

"We aren’t fully sure, so don’t get your hopes up just yet." Landon added and I gave a faint nod in response.

When the three princes began to leave this time, I didn’t try to stop them again. I let out a shaky breath once alone, unable to believe all that went down in a single night. It felt like all that could happen in months all took place in a single night. I felt so overwhelmed that I slid to the ground and forced myself to breathe more slowly.

At one point, I burst into tears before I could stop myself. It felt like I was on shaky grounds, and I hated that, because it meant that nothing was certain and anything could change in the blink of an eye. I cried till I couldn’t.

I cried so much, for the times I’ve had to force myself to bottle it in and keep it together. I didn’t stop crying, and at one point, I felt myself solely pass out, slipping into a thick unconscious state.
