[Sahan’s pov]
You might ask me if I am having mood swings or not pertaining to Svetlana. No, I am not. But I also do not know what I feel for her is something serious or what. I have never been the type who would stick to one woman ever. Not that would consider me into a playboy list but what would I do if women are throwing themselves at me? Of course, I would take the bait and drag them to my bed. I would not say women love me for who I am individually but they seek my status, wealth and power.
Being the son of the alpha Zaro and the youngest among the triplets I had many perks. Having a playful personality and possessing the skills of sweet talking it had never been tough for me to get the girls. However, ever since we three met Svetlana she had been rejecting all our charms. We met her a few years ago on her birthday, and flew a few days prior actually. None of us had any intentions of teasing her until one tiny feud got us brothers on her hook.
It was the day that we three began to tease her in whatever ways we could do at that time. Breaking her toys, hiding her shoes, switching her shampoo and whatnot. I always believed that she was acting tough throughout to avoid admitting that she liked me. Everything was going on a lighter note until I got that evil idea. I can still remember that day, on her birthday, a few hours earlier how badly I cut her dress from various places. Why? All because she slapped me when I intended to kiss her on the cheek.
I understood now how wrong I was and what I had done. Ruining her dress for the big day and then Zuhan putting a mini cracker in her birthday cake; we sure made her day a living hell. I can still recall her tears when she glared at me and Zuhan. How proud we were at that moment because we won and she cried in defeat. But the day we all went to pick her up from the airport everything changed. The first time I saw her after all those years, suddenly an influx of emotions surged through me.
Still having no idea what I felt at that moment. But one thing was certain, I felt guilty for all those torments. Suddenly I had sympathy for her when I saw Svetlana and realised how hard it must have been for her. Staying away from her mother all these years and then her father’s death. And now she was forced to live with us as a new family. As much as I wanted to apologise to her for everything, my egocentric nature held me back. Knowing that she was not the innocent and time girl from all those years.
I still remember when she stepped in the car, her scent filled my nostrils like a rose fragrance. I could feel myself being drawn towards her but did not want her to know. It was not only me but my brothers too, we all could feel ourselves being attracted towards her. What was happening to us? Since we all could connect ourselves via mental link, we all knew what was going on in each other’s minds. It was obvious that something was wrong with all of us. That was one hell of a ride back home.
Her meeting with my father and her mother went well. I was happy that she was getting along with her mother even after all those years. However, my worry increased when Zuhan offered to show her the room. It was not that I did not trust my brothers but what our father spoke about all those equal rights stuff; my worry increased. And just as I suspected Raihan had her against the wall when I reached that arcade. Tsk, that asshole brother of mine.
Raihan believes Svetlana came with some agenda, she wants to take revenge by putting us brothers down in our father’s eyes. I mean how is that even possible? And why would she even bother to do that? Planning such a big act would eventually disgrace her in our father’s eyes too. Alpha Zaro deems her as his own daughter and given that he permitted Svetlana equal rights too. I am still sure Raihan is overthinking and in a pure misunderstanding he went ahead to warn Svetlana.
I could see fright in her eyes even though she tried hard to sound convincing. But somehow I could feel her pain and fear, I wanted to help her by butting in the moment. However, no matter what I could not afford to go against my brothers, especially Raihan. He is like a father figure for me and Zuhan, we both trust him more than anyone even though we are triplets. I could not boldly dare to go against him and defend Svetlana.
Raihan had always been calculative and firm on whatever decision he takes. His judgement had never been wrong and somewhere deep down I wanted to admit that he might be wrong for the first time. But bluntly saying that in front of him was equivalent to slapping and insulting him. That’s why I let Raihan do whatever he wished to at that moment. It was not long when Zuhan joined him too, and I was forced to play by the rules. This girl! Svetlana was doing something to me.
When dad told us about the dinner I was hoping to see her in some fancy attire. To my disappointment she was in those same clothes from morning. But what angered me was the scent over her body, I knew who it was and where the scent was coming from. Zuhan! I created a mental link with him and we both talked about it. It relieved me that he did not kiss her rather just wiped her lipstick. But the way he was speaking it was evident that too felt something for Svetlana.
[Zuhan’s pov] It had been a long time ever since we three had met Lana, she was a child back then whom we all bullied. I was still in that illusion that she might be the same type of kid till now. Timid, plump, scared, crying baby and a softie. Totally aw! Of course, I totally neglected the huge time period between us. And the big possibility that she might have grown too. Who wouldn't, right? We three had grown into fine young men too, completely opposite to what we were before in our teen years. But when I saw her at the airport in front of my eyes, I felt like my heart just stopped. The last time I saw her, she was having a running nose with two braids and in a white frock. Goodness! She wanted to wear that pink one we destroyed. As much as I hate to admit that now or ever in future, I was devastated when I saw her big tears rolling over her pink plump cheeks. For some reason, it felt bad in my chest and guilt still consumes me whenever I think of it. Lana was a completely new p
[Raihan’s pov] Fucking hell! How could my brothers be so blind and dumb? Both of them saw a mere girl and got smitten by her just like that. The offensive point was the type of girl they fell for. Svetlana, our step sister who does not even know how to talk, dress up and follow etiquettes. How could anybody fall for her? Right? I was still not willing to admit that somehow I had some attraction towards her like my brothers. How could they fall for someone like her? Both of my brothers had lost their minds perhaps. Why were they not seeing what was in front of my eyes? I admit that she had some kind of magical effect on all of us but it does not mean that we should turn blind to everything. She could be planning something against us, after all we never got along well ever since childhood. And now her arrival in our territory, with our father on her side, Lana had all the power she needed to plot against us three. Easily! When we picked her up from the airport I could see both of the
The dinner night went awfully awkward as Svetlana kept on thinking if Joselyn was warning her or what. However, what she could not decipher was why the brothers hadn’t found their mates when they all were 21 years old now. How was it even possible for them to not be able to spot their mate?It could not be that the moon goddess had not blessed them with their mates. The triplets were in the line of being the next alpha which meant they were supposed to have their mates. Svetlana kept on staring at Joselyn from time to time, while wondering if she would be the next luna of the pack. Meanwhile, during the whole time Sahan and Zuhan continued to treat her as the special guest. One poured her food while the other kept on asking her if she needed more. Whereas, Lana became puzzled upon their sudden switch of attitudes. Nonetheless, the whole dramatic night ended sooner. “Haha, it seems Lana needs a shoulder.” Alpha Zaro spoke upon seeing her swaying silhouette as they all entered the man
The next day Svetlana woke up in her room and realised where she was. “Sighs, I have to get used to this or get out sooner.” Rubbing her eyes she sat in the bed with a hunchback posture. It took her a few moments to recall the last night and the talks. What an amazing and awful night she had, at the same time. “Goodness! I hope none of the brothers brought me in.” Lana hoped that it would be Saikus who put her to bed or her mum. Only if she had known how the boys bickered over her presence. Nonetheless, Lana crept out of her bed to get ready. After yesterday’s alcohol consumption she had been feeling a headache. Walking out of the shower naked with her wet hair, she opened the wardrobe while the carpeted floor began to get wet. Having no clue that her fresh scent was being pricked by none other than her hot step brothers. In the same lane the triplets were able to smell her in their rooms. Sahan was in his bed sleeping as it was sunday, when his nostrils sniffed a heavenly scent.
The same evening after dinner when Lana was heading towards her room, Alpha Zaro stopped her to talk about something. “Are you free for a few minutes, kiddo?” Standing in the empty corridor, Lana couldn’t refuse when the alpha had been doing so much for her.“Yes, yes.” She took smaller steps towards the tall burly man who was in his fifties but still looked great for his age. “Is everything alright?” Lana hadn’t been addressing him as dad or even uncle. The alpha smiled and head patted her, while gesturing towards his study.As soon as they both entered the room, the alpha shut the door and asked Lana to sit. The awkwardness in the atmosphere had been visible as she needed time to adjust. “I am well aware that you are trying your best to fit in, Lana.” The alpha started to speak to address her issues.“Being in a new pack, new city and an absolutely new home is certainly a hard thing. You need time to adjust and adapt, take all you need and want.” After hearing how his sons had been
Lana’s attention was snagged by that male voice. She immediately composed herself and clutched her bag. “Ah, yes. Yes, I am alright.” Lana knew she had entered the office but the guy standing in front of him appeared to be of the same age as the triplets. Walking closer to the desk where the man was standing she questioned. “Um…may I know the incharge here? I have to get some information regarding my classes.” She was expecting someone older in the office, not some brunette haired young guy. The man chuckled softly and put down his book, he walked up to the chair and settled himself. “At your service, miss.” Lana’s shocking expressions soon turned into embarrassing ones. Anyone would mistake Lars as an assistant probably. “Oh! I’m so sorry, sir. I was expecting….” Lana immediately bowed slightly with a soft flushed tone. She could not help but wonder what a youngster like him was doing there. Her eyes stared into his warm hazel ones, such a sweet smile and a comfortable aura. “So
As Saikus dragged her away from the little yet famous gang of the institute. Lana could not help but inquire about the situation which was ongoing now. “Who were they? Gosh! Why am I being hated so much?” She complained while pursing her lips in a pout.“Well, my dear sister. You dared to come with the triplets. Crossed a major line there. Believe me, you will see more than this soon.” Saikus walked her towards the classroom, knowing that someone else might pick on her now. Once again. Hate everywhere.“Be prepared!” He head patted her despite being the younger sibling. Saikus was taller than Lana just like the triplets. Of course, the same genes were running in 4 of them, from Alpha Zaro. “Have a good day, sis!” He smiled and waved, headed towards his own class. Lana stood outside her class when a elderly lady walked up to her. “Are you coming inside or not, miss?” She realised that the strict looking woman with a crooked nose and specs on the tip was her professor. The lady in her
After her last class Lana received a text on her phone that the triplets were going to pick her up. “Heck no! I am not going back with those devils.” She knew how their presence had already added trouble to her matters. Lana wrote a text back to the same number that she will come back home by herself. Not knowing that the contact belonged to Raihan, and she had just angered the scariest one among them. She grabbed her bag and headed towards the gate.It was the moment when a junior approached her. “Miss. Is your name Lana?” When she nodded, the kid informed her that she was called. “Professor Lars is calling you in his office.” Lana saw the time and headed towards the office.Knowing it would buy her some time till the triplets are gone. She did not wish to go out only to spot them in the parking lot. Having that thought in her mind she headed to meet Lars. His office was in the administration block, the one a few minutes away from where her classes were.The block was empty when she
