MiaThe departure of the triplet brothers allowed me to regain a brief sense of freedom in the house.I wasn't happy to see them leave because of the hard mission they were going to partake in but I was relieved when they were going.I could see how sorry they were when they were leaving. Even as they were packing their loads into the car, they still had their eyes on me and they seemed like they were still begging for my forgiveness.I hated the way they looked tortured and wondered why they were desperate for my forgiveness. What was in it for them?Their dad was still mad at them and wouldn't even go out to bid them goodbye. It was only mum and I who had stood outside, watching them pack. Mum had tried so hard to find out from Albert why he was mad at the boys but he wouldn't say anything to her.I didn't blame him. How was he to tell her? What was he to say? I also pretended to not know anything about the matter and eventually, mum gave up on it, hoping that the father and sons w
Six Months LaterMiaI was back home, on a visit to my mum. It was my leave period and I decided to spend it at home. I didn't know that I was going to miss my mum and Albert as much as I did but I did. Maybe it was the attachment from being with my mum Al through childhood but I certainly ached with her absence and calling he every night before I slept became a remedy for me, a cure for my loneliness.Even with the guys I went on dates with and Sasha there to keep me company, I still missed my mum. I missed Albert. I missed what it was like to have a full family at a table when I had to eat. I missed what it was like to have someone to walk through a garden with when I was bored and had to take a walk. I missed hearing sounds of people talking, laughing, walking and going about their business when I felt my apartment was too silent. I missed a lot of things about home and I wondered if this was because I didn't go far away from home when I was in college.Maybe if I had done, I woul
MiaI was terrified. Of all things that I was expecting to see here, it certainly wasn't a woman who was alive and locked away like she was some sort of criminal.I glanced at the talisman on the cage and realized that she might not be some criminal alone. This could be related to dark magic and I was sure that wasn't what I wanted to dabble into.This was already unknown waters that I was dipping my legs into and I had no doubt that I was going to sink if I tried to wade in too much. The thought of sinking made me remember when I had drowned at that party and almost died and I couldn't help the shivers that ran through me. I was afraid of dying and this seemed like the fastest way to die without anyone knowing of me.It seemed like she sensed my fear as she moved forward, her eyes pleading as she bore them into my skin. "Please help me. " She said. "Get me out."I shook my head. There was something about her voice that bothered me. It sounded too calm for someone who needed help and
MiaA fantasy book? I scoffed. Wasn't that how I felt all those years after coming across the triplets? My life had never been normal since I had met them. I hadn't lived a normal life after meeting them. What sort of a normal girl had repeated nightmares of wolves growling at her? What sort of a normal girl had three brothers making passes at her at different intervals? What sort of a normal girl had werewolves as brothers? What sort of a normal girl had brothers she hated and yet felt oddly secure with them in a way that she couldn't explain? I ran my hand through my hair and blew out a breath. I wasn't normal at all. I hadn't been for a long time. It wasn't surprising that things that happened to me wouldn't be normal as well and I would meet strange people.How would I explain that I had been chased by a bee till I found a hidden cave where a strange woman with an unbelievable tale was locked away?Her tale was indeed unbelievable. It wasn't easy for me to accept that Albert was
MiaFoolish human? It wasn't the tone she used in talking that scared me but what she said. I knew already that she wasn't human. She already said it and even if she didn't, there was no how the triplets were going to be werewolves if both their parents weren't one. She had claimed to be the mother of the triplets but with the way her eyes filled with hatred and menace, I doubted that she had been telling me the truth.The boys had always claimed that their mother was a sweet soul but this woman right here, clawing at my hand with everything that she had got in her was the total opposite of what I had heard of the former Luna of the wolf tribe.I was extremely frightened of her. The pain in my hand made me break out in cold sweats. I had sweats all over my body and on my forehead. I hadn't expected this woman to be an impostor but I should have known.I had been a fool. I shouldn't have walked into the cave. I shouldn't have listened to her story. I shouldn't have moved closer. I sh
QuinnI frowned as I stepped into the mansion and heard Mia's scream. That was unusual and unexpected. That didn't seem like she was screaming in delight and even if it was, I didn't think that there was anything that would happen at home that late to make her scream in delight.I frowned at the thought in my head, pushing it away. She wouldn't dare to bring a boyfriend home and have sex with him in the house. I didn't know how liberal her mum was and I was sure that dad wouldn't mind if she had visited with her boyfriend but I didn't like the thought of that.I didn't like the thought of a stranger in our house. I didn't like the thought of another man in the house. Oh, please. I rolled my eyes. I should be honest with myself. I was strong enough to do that for myself. I didn't like the thought of Mia with another man. She belonged to me. She belonged to us, reminding me that my brothers wanted her as well.I wouldn't let anyone else have her.There. I admitted it. It wasn't that ha
MiaWe got outside and I asked Quinn to let go of me but he wouldn't respond. The brothers kept on walking, teasing one another and I eventually gave up when I realized that they meant to get me to my room.I felt uncomfortable but oddly at peace in their presence and in Quinn's arms. I must have been shaken by that woman more than I thought. Who wouldn't? I would be inhuman to not have been shaken. That was a near-death experience. I realized that I still didn't know who she was except what Quinn had called her.A sorceress?That was odd. I didn't even want to believe that werewolves existed and now, there were sorceresses. How many inhumane characters were walking on the surface of the earth?Quinn seemed to know her well - and hated her too - and I was determined to find out the truth from them. That was better than trying to get the truth from Albert without giving myself away that I had gone to the cave."You don't have to do this." I told him, trying to hold on to the little of
QuinnI could sense that she was shocked at what I just told her. I could also feel her gratitude coming out of my pores and knew my brothers could sense it too though we pretended not to know. We would scare her if she knew that we could sense emotions and we didn't need that. Asides the gratitude she felt towards us for saving her life, distrust was also there and that had to leave before she allowed us to be closer to her as we wanted to. We didn't need to add to what she felt already and we were being careful.I couldn't remember the last time me and my brothers were as careful of our ourselves around anybody asides our father but Mia did that to us. We didn't care about what humans or ladies thought of us. We took from them without apologies knowing that they wanted us and wouldn't mind. Everyone was like that Mia.She was both human and a lady and she made us treat her in ways that we hadn't ever done to anyone. She called for and demanded her respect, leaving us no choice but
