Chapter 36"You know what? Suit yourself if you are going to do that to another woman." I rolled my eyes, finding it absurd that I even entertained this man. I even glanced at the hydrangea flower sitting on the bench, wanting to get it, but my pride told me not to. "You can fool around and—""Shame, the only woman I want to entertain is the mother of our triplets," Alucard cut me off, making me stiffen when his tone became raspy.I turned at him, catching how he looked at me with that domineering gaze while he had that meaningful smile. I shivered in delight and couldn't ignore that his remark could make my c l i t throb in need. But while I was still in sanity, my lips formed a bitter smile. "Over my dead body."That was my final retort before I attempted to walk away. However, Alucard stopped me by grabbing my arm. "What?" I snapped, glaring at him."You forgot this." Alucard held out the hydrangea flower to me, winking at me. But I couldn't ignore the fact that his touch sent me
Chapter 37The plan to talk to Alucard about that storage room did not occur that day. Due to needing to teach him how to care for the triplets, I had to focus on it. I remembered I had an agenda I needed to attend once Alucard's turn to have them next week. Alucard listened to what I told him that even Mother did not know. The remaining days brought delight to my triplets when all we did was play around, letting their father read some bedtime stories until it was time for bed. I was more exhausted than them when Alucard and I tucked them in."Good night, our brave pups," Alucard said, kissing their foreheads and making the triplets giggle. "This is your last night here. Next week, we will be together again." They chirped in agreement. "Daddy, why did you reject Mommy as your mate?" I was caught off guard by Lumiere's question. This made me glance at Alucard, who was also looking at me. The hair on my nape stood up as I averted my gaze, and my eyes landed on Luciana, who already op
Chapter 38The brothel had become my solace after that confrontation with Alucard. However, when I assumed that I could make him believe that I could sleep with another man or multiple men, the mood struck me not to engage in anything. All I could do was drink some booze alone at my table while watching some of the male prostitutes being ravished by their female customers. Sighing, I couldn't feel any envy, but Alucard's crying face lingered in my mind. "Madam." I looked up while my chin rested on my palm when Marchioness Carat arrived with another booze. "I would like to apologize since Alfredo is not here tonight."I shook my head, offering a small smile. "No, it's fine, Marchioness Carat. It works in my favor, as I'm not really in the mood for any entertainment," I replied, understanding that she had mentioned Alfredo due to the impressive performance he had delivered during our last encounter. His actions were still etched in my mind, but even with his mask on, all I could think
Chapter 39"We heed your request to embellish with some Swarovski crystals around the necklace, Count Iran," I said, clasping my hands together as my elbows rested on my desk while watching Expert show Count Iran his finished customized jewelry. He requested a golden necklace with the gemstone ruby and used Swarovski crystals to surround the chains. The necklace he asked us for customization would be gifted to his daughter, who would celebrate her coming-of-age soon. "This is beautiful, Your Serene Grace." Count Iran touched the necklace, looking at it lovingly. "I am hoping Eva would like this for her birthday. It will be her first transformation as a wolf, too."The satisfaction smile on his lips delighted me that even though Father was not managing this shop anymore, I was still meeting the right demands and service for our clients. I wanted to maintain the reputation of the Velvety Stones until I passed it down to the next heir who would be handling the House of Bellwood. I was
Chapter 40The horror on my face revealed the shock of Alucard's actions, as he had revealed something I had kept secret - the identity of the father of my triplets. When had he gathered the courage to share such information with these people?Even those guests were gasping in shock. Right there and then. I couldn't explain how I could get away from this situation. I breathed in and out when the murmurs were going louder that the people here forgot that they were in the soft opening of this apparel shop. "Your Royal Highness, can we talk?" I asked in my oh-so-sweet tone before taking his hand and dragging him out of that shop. "My woman needs to speak with me. I will be right back, everyone."I gripped his hand even tighter in response to his words, causing Alucard to hiss in discomfort. He chuckled as he struggled to keep pace with me, realizing that I was leading him into a narrow alleyway.But he gasped and smiled sheepishly when I slammed his back to the wall. "My, my. Aren't w
Chapter 41"Mommy...? Where are you going?"I stiffened when I was about to slide off from Luciana's bed. Smiling wryly, under the dim light, thanks to the moonlight, I caught her she was rubbing her eyes. This night, my triplets decided to sleep in their respective chambers, but Luciana wanted me to sleep by her side, which I did not hesitate to grant. Thinking that she had fallen asleep, I wanted to sneak out, but it was the right time for her to wake up."I will return to my chamber, love," I said, approaching her before carefully putting her back to the bed."You are not going out, right?" she asked, making me stiffen as I watched her yawning. I nodded, smiling. "Of course. I will just return to my chamber, and I will sleep." I tucked her into her blanket before kissing her forehead softly before she closed her eyes. "Good night, my love."Luciana yawned one more time, nodding. "Good night, Mommy."I sighed in relief and quietly left her chamber. On my way to my own room, I coul
Chapter 42"What? Can't do it?" I asked, smiling meaningfully. I even had to flip my long hair cascading down my shoulders. "I need to be entertained. Don't you think that you need to heed my wishes?" I took a sip on my wine glass when Alfredo was not even smiling anymore."For all the encounters I had been through with you, I had really wanted to get back to you, even if my actions were petty." Those words wanted to come out of my mouth, but I was sitting here comfortably, watching him sigh before he removed his mask and chuckled. I almost inhaled sharply, tightening my hold on my wine glass upon seeing that handsome face he was hiding."How did you know that it was me?" Alfredo asked, his eyes glowing in amusement. Or must I say... Alucard.I forced a bitter smile. "I just realized... now," I paused, my frown deepening as he stood up, revealing his chiseled body. Gazing at him, I had a sinking feeling that this would become the worst day of my life. I should have known... Why did I
Chapter 43"No..." I said, my voice trembling as my knees weakened from his overbearing presence. I inhaled and exhaled, trying to fight this nervousness I felt. "No." This time, this word became firm. But Alucard's smirk did not fade. "Do not test my patience, Faustina." I felt my clit throb when he was still towering over me, looking at me as if I was just a speck of dust to him. His face drew closer to me as his hand reached my neck to whisper huskily, "Outside, I will treat you like my queen, the mother of our triplets, and the love of my life. However, whenever we are in this session alone, you are only my slut, a toy for me, whether you like it or not. Do you understand?"My body shivered in delight when Alucard licked my earlobe. My wolf liked it in contrast to what I was feeling. But she was betraying me to succumb to him, which I found myself nodding.His hand on my neck tightened a little, almost making me out of breath, but I couldn't even complain and found it to my likin
