Chapter 9
Third-Person POV
It was a beautiful Saturday morning as the royal members of the house gathered to have their breakfast.
Gina came to dish out food to everyone at the table according to their specifications, after which she returned to the kitchen to wait until she was called upon.
“I will suggest that you all go for a weekend getaway before Gwen’s birthday,” Luna Miranda said to her triplet sons.
The Alpha nods his head in agreement and tells them that they will be provided with whatever they will need for the vacation and that since one of them will soon be taking his place, this vacation was much needed.
“I think that would be a great idea,” Gwen said excitedly, as she beams from ear to ear.
Gwen is more than elated with the news and looks forward to finally having time to herself to bond with the triplet, who is soon to be her mate.
Even though she fakes it most of the time, the truth is that it has been difficult for her to have complete control of the triplets, most especially Denver. She has tried various ways to make him see her as her mate, but the young man seems to be lost in his world.
She would love for them all to drool after her, do whatever she says, and worship her like the queen she was brought up to be.
But apart from Derrick, who sometimes checked up on her to know how she was doing, the other brothers didn’t seem to care. As much as it has been bothering her, she is most times consoled with the fact that once the mate bond hits them, she would get the happiness and attention she so much craves from the triplets.
Not a day goes by without her dreaming of the day she would become the future Luna of the pack; it has been her greatest desire that she completes twenty-one quickly, so she could wear her rightful crown.
However, the triplets were not so thrilled about the adventure, as they each had something bothering them and sometimes keeping them awake at night.
It all started when Gina first came to the palace; they could hardly believe what a beautiful woman she had grown into.
Gina’s willingness to protect her mother’s dignity was what first attracted them to her; she was just an omega yet has the heart of an alpha.
Aside from her strong will, Gina has the body of a goddess; she was flawless, and her curves were capable of giving an impotent man a hardened e******n.
Before now, they had always enjoyed sharing everything and had never had a problem with that, but with Gina, they each wanted her for themselves.
“You guys should say something,” their mother urges them, as she has been impatiently waiting to hear their responses.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Her eyes instinctively went to her senior son, who always appeared to be lost in thoughts and looked like he was carrying the weight of the entire world on his shoulders.
“Mum, whatever you decide is fine by me,” Denver said, standing up to walk out of the dining room.
The beautiful smile that Luna Miranda had on her face soon dissolved into a sad one that gradually faded away. She exchanged looks with her husband, and the Alpha knew immediately about her concerns.
Denver has not always been like that. He was once a happy teenage boy while growing up, but when he got his wolf at eighteen, his parent’s grip on him tightened.
Being the eldest son, they wanted him to be the one carrying the father’s legacy, while his other two brothers were not bothered.
At first, he started keeping to himself and would solemnly talk when he was surrounded by his brothers, but recently, he has gotten worse.
This has had Luna worried, as she has often heard people say demeaning things about him. She feels guilty because she believes they might have pushed him too far.
“Mum, I think it’s a great idea,” Devon replied to his mother.
His voice brought a smile back to her face as she turned to look at her middle son, who smiled and gave her a yes by nodding his head.
They all went their various ways after breakfast, leaving Gina to clear out the dishes.
Gwen quickly called her father as soon as she got back to her room to tell him of the trip she would be taking soon with the triplets.
“Dad, can you imagine that I will be spending the entire weekend with them without having their minds divided?” Gwen said excitedly to her dad, who happens to be Alpha’s beta for a long time.
Gwen was a typical daddy’s girl, as she was single-handedly brought up by him after her mother’s death. She never grew up to know her mother because she died while giving birth to her. Her father refused to take any other mate because of the great love he had for his wife and also because he didn’t want any woman to maltreat Gwen.
Gwen got all she could ever ask for as a child, as her father spared nothing in making her biggest wishes come true.
Her father was the happiest when the pack seer gave the prophecy that one day his daughter would be mated to the triplet alphas. He, like his daughter, was earnestly waiting for the day Gwen would become the future Luna of the pack, which was the highest position right after the alpha position.
“I’m so happy for you, my dear, and I’m sure your mother would be so proud,” he said to his daughter.
“Thank you, Daddy; I can’t wait to be Luna of this pack,” she says cheerfully to her dad.
“That day will be my happiest day alive,” her father replied. “When are you people leaving?” he questioned.
“I’m not certain, but I’m sure it won’t be long,” she said.
“Do you need me to ask any of my servants to come with you?” Her father asked with concern.
“No, dad, and what will my fat maid be doing while I am gone?” “She would be coming with us,” she said to her dad.
“That’s alright, don’t forget to have all the fun because I will eagerly be waiting to hear all of it,” her father said, and with that, they bid their farewells and ended the call.
Just then, there was a gentle tap on her door. “Come in,” she said excitedly to the person, thinking that it must be one or all three of the triplets that had come to see her so they could plan their getaway.
Imagine her disappointment when Gina walked into the room. Her once-happy face fell as soon as her eyes fell on her fat omega maid, who dared her.
You see, Gwen has never really forgiven Gina for daring to raise her hand against her. Getting Gina to work under her as a maid was just the first of many surprises she had in store for her.
Gina.
“What do you want?” Gwen spurred at me as soon as I walked into her room.
Her countenance alone tells me that I might not be granted the reason I had come to see her. But I was going to try. I have been working all these days without taking a break, and I know this is the best opportunity for me to go and visit my parents, whom I have missed so much.
“I heard you will be going on a vacation with the triplets, and I wanted to ask for your permission to take this time off to see my parents,” I said to her respectfully, with the hope that her heart would be caressed into granting my wish.
“And who will be doing the cooking and running errands for us when you go and see your poverty-stinking parents?” She spurred at me, spattering all her venom on the floor.
Anger brewed deep within me. As soon as I heard her call my parents poor, my first instinct would be to punch her face and hopefully break off two of her teeth.
But again, the thought of what might happen to my parents silenced my rage.
“Please, I need to go and visit them; I promise I will be back before you come back from your trip,” I said to her in yet another pleading tone.
“Are you dumb, or did you just choose to be stupid?” “You are coming with me on this trip as my maid,” she said to me.
It appeared she wasn’t going to consent to my appeal, but I kept trying my best to make her see the reasons why I needed to visit my parents.
“Will you get your stinky fat self out of my sight these minutes?” she said dismissively to me.
I left her room feeling sad and defeated. Unshed tears blurred my vision as I tried hard to control myself from crying and being questioned by people.
I was about to climb down the stairs when I missed my step, but luckily, a set of steady hands caught me just in time before I could fall flat on my face.
Furthermore, I lifted my face to see that it was Devon who had just saved me. His eyes immediately lit up with concern as soon as he saw my tear-filled eyes.
“I’m sorry, and thanks for helping me,” I said to him as I made to hurry past him, but he pulled me closer to himself, scanning my eyes as if searching for something.
“Why are you crying?” he asked calmly; his voice and show of concern made me lose my bravery as a tear dropped from my eyes.
“Come,” he said, holding my hand and pulling me with him until we got to the entrance of his room.
He opened the door and pulled me in. His room, just like Denver’s, was elaborately arranged and decorated.
He pulled out a foldable chair and asked me to sit as he walked over to his fridge to get bottled water.
“Take, drink this,” he said, offering me the water. His kind gesture melted my heart, as the aching I was having seemed to abate.
“What is it?” “You can talk to me,” he said calmly, sitting on the bed space opposite where I sat.
“I told Gwen that I wanted to go and visit my parents while you guys are on vacation, but she refused and called my parents names,” I said to him.
He doesn’t say anything for some time, as only the sounds of our heartbeat filled the room.
“You don’t want to go with us on the vacation?” He asked with a bit of disappointment in his voice.
“What will I be doing there?” I said absentmindedly.
“What if I tell you that we would be thrilled if you chose to come with us?” he said, leaning forward from where he sat.
“We?” I asked, surprised that he and his brother would agree for me to come with them.
“Yeah, Denver, Derrick, and I—we are all looking forward to having you on this trip,” he said, and I couldn’t help but wonder if they had discussed it before now.
“Why? “I mean, Gwen will be with you guys,” I said, still trying to wrap my head around what he was telling me.
“Exactly my point; since she is the only girl going with us, there is still a vacancy for one more girl to join,” he said, leaning closer to me so much so that I could breathe in his minty after-mouthwash.
My heart’s pacing heightened as he stared into my eyes for some sort of consent.
He must have gotten what he wanted as his lips gently took mine in a soft, passionate k**s. His lips were gentle as they toured every inch of my mouth.
I found myself shamelessly enjoying his teases as a little m**n escaped my lips. Suddenly, he stopped to look into my eyes,
“You are coming with us, right?” He asks with his eyes sexily lost in mine.
“Yes,” I nodded, as I found myself fantasizing about what it would be like to have all three Alphas to myself.
