CHAPTER ELEVEN. DAWN'S POV. " What?" I questioned, a torrent of thoughts swirling through my head as the words flowed into my ears. 'Was I perhaps hallucinating?' I inwardly pondered. " You heard right, Dawn" Charlie spoke up, a glint of mischief in her eyes which I regrettably overlooked, believing she would be the last person to attempt to hurt me in any way. " Scarlett here is in love with the triplets, but she is way too shy to face them and let them know. So she has decided to write a letter which we'll need your help to deliver" Lisa explained with a wide, gleeful smile that made my skin crawl for reasons I couldn't decipher. " Oh—" I answered to which the lot of them nodded. I noticed a few others stationed at a far corner of the room throbbing with intense laughter that seemed to possess an intent of mockery, whilst occasionally pointing in my direction. Only if I had been more perceptive here, perhaps I would have suspected something was amiss. In my immense densene

CHAPTER THIRTEEN. DAWN'S POV CONTINUES. Devon? His name was Devon. What a charming name. I didn't want to let go of this letter in my hand, even though I was actually meant to. " Give it to me pretty" The playboy who had been addressed as Devon nudged with a gentle tone which I found genuinely baffling. He seemed like the rough type so I expected him to get fed up with my hesitation and just yank the note out of my hand. Unquestionably, he could do so with ease but it seemed like he wanted to toy with me a little further. Still, I clung tightly to the paper, my gaze unflinchingly fixed on it. The feel of Devon's warm hands brushing against mine made my skin tingle. My heart began to flutter, my breath pausing in my throat. My body jolted slightly at the electrifying feel of his palm caressing mine. Soon noticing the effects his presence imposed on me, he gave a dirty smile, seductively biting his lower lips. In response to his coquettish gestures, my entire body bega

CHAPTER FIFTEEN. DAWN'S POV CONTINUES. “ Why?” I asked, heading towards her. My palms were sweaty, my stomach twisting into knots as I did my best to keep myself from bursting into tears again. I wanted to be strong for once, I wanted to prove I wasn't a weakling to them all but who was I kidding? A shiver ran down my spine as Charlie narrowed her gaze to me, her mocking expression abruptly contorting into a threatening glare. I reared back in shock, my eyes widening— Since the very first day we met, she had never shot me such a disdainful look. I could recall her expressions of laughter, sadness, compassion, pity... but never a glare— and such a condescending one at that. Atleast not towards me, so why now? I was curious as to what her reason for flashing at me such a hateful look was, and quite sad, knowing damn well it would invariably be hurtful and unfavourable towards me. " Quit the act, you pathetic whore" Charlie growled, her tone laced with bale, vivid irritat

WHERE IS DAWN? DERRICK'S POV. As we walked to the classroom, we all couldn't help but feel surprised by the fearfulness of that peasant girl. Yes, Dawn— her name was Dawn. She still had not come to us to begin her duties. Our assignments were still with her, and we had to submit this morning. We walked to the classroom, the general one instead of our private session, thinking she would be there waiting for us as she was most likely too scared to come into our lounge and directly meet with us. I chuckled at the thought, remembering how she nearly fell apart merely by being in our presence and began to wobble like a tuning fork, fear boldly written all over her. 'Cute' I thought and found my face, on its own accord, curving into a smile. She really was the perfect fit for a plaything. I knew my brothers all thought the same, including Dominic. We could feel each other's emotions unless we blocked the others out which Dominic often did. I couldn't help but wonder

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN.DEVON'S POV." Do you guys think locking her up was the right thing to do?" I questioned, facing my brothers, keeping my expression as neutral as I could. Both Dominic and Derrick both turned, throwing me a look of surprise. They were in absolute disbelief of my statement, just as I figured they would. " Is this actually Devon speaking or a skinwalker inhabiting his body?" Derrick, the blabbermouth of us questioned with a mocking smile. I rolled my eyes, an exasperated scoff escaping me, as the bastard chuckled mischievously. " This can't be Devon, because the Devon I know only cares about getting into girl's pants. He doesn't give two fucks about their well-being," He added, bursting into incessant laughter like the idiot he was. I felt the burning intent to lunge at him at that moment and beat him to a pulp but restrained myself, knowing that Dominic wouldn't be approving of that.It wasn't that I viewed Dominic as my superior or anything, I just respected h
