Giselle’s POV:
“What is your story, Riven?” I turned towards Riven and asked.
“What is the reason behind your actions?” I asked curiously while looking directly into his eyes.
“Nothing, really. I also didn’t hate you and you were always attractive to me, but I disliked the fact that our father told you that you could compete with us to become the Luna of our pack. We worked hard our whole life to get this position and he just offered you like it was nothing. That’s why I was always rude to you”, Riven spoke in all honesty.
There was no hurt, regret or remorse in his tone, not hurt at all, but his eyes showed a hint of sorrow which didn’t get unnoticed by either of us.
“WHAT?” I shouted, baffled.
“Yeah, it is true. I had a fight with our father about this too. I regret hurting you, but everything I did was intentional. Look at the slap on my face, you are going to become the Luna of our pack by hook or by crook”, He said with a humorless laugh and continued,
“I am sorry for everything I did in the past. If you ever forgive me, I want to start fresh so that I can show the real side of me, but I won’t force you”, Riven added in a plain tone. He looked down and took a deep sigh.
I respected his honesty. He didn’t twist his words. Honestly, none of them did! They were all speaking the truth and deep inside, I knew it. They regretted hurting me and they wanted me.
Like an idiot, I was happy that my mates wanted me and was about to forget the fact that they were the reason I was afraid of coming here in the first place.
“Please give us a second chance. We will do everything in our power to make you happy”. Stefan held my hand to grab my attention and continued,
“I promise we won’t let this smile fade from your face ever”, Stefan caressed my cheek.
“He is right. Please let us show you our good side for once. I am sure you will love it. We won’t do anything you won’t like. If you say stop, nobody will cross their line. Your words will be final. Just one chance, sweetheart. Just one! We are not asking for much”. Kevin held my other hand and pleaded.
“Just one chance? If I say it’s over, then it’s over, right?” I asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Yeah, whatever you say will be the final words” Stefan nodded instantly with a hint of hope in his eyes.
“I don’t know if it is the mate bond or our genuine feelings, but we are attracted to you. If, after giving us a chance, you don’t like us for any reason, you can reject us anytime”, Riven added in a serious tone.
He was not even done with his statement when a pillow was thrown directly at his face.
“Stop talking about rejection and sh*t! Who told you to speak? Did we not say we would do the talking? Just sit there emotionless like a mannequin you are and nod occasionally”, Stefan said in an annoyed tone, and Riven rolled his eyes.
Their funny interaction nearly made me chuckle.
“So, what do you think?” Kevin asked, with eyes filled with need, love and hope.
“Taking this slow or fast will also depend on me?” I asked in a worried tone.
Kevin was about to reply but another impatient soul jumped in,
“Whatever you want, love. We will grant every wish of yours. If you want me to take you at 3 pm, I will leave everything aside and f*ck you right away”, Stefan said in a desperate voice.
Kevin shook his head in frustration and pressed my hand lightly, which was already in his hand, to get my attention. I turned towards him and he immediately started speaking.
“And if something is too much for you, you can always stop us. Just one chance please, Giselle. Please be ours, for the sake of our bond!” Kevin nearly begged.
Three of them were looking at me with pleading eyes. Well, Riven’s eyes were less pleading, but anyway, it was better than his icy glares.
F*ck it! I shouldn’t have come to talk to them. Now, I can’t help it, my heart so badly wanted to give in.
“Okay” I replied in barely a whisper.
“OKAY?” All of them repeated after me happily.
“Don’t worry, we will treat you like a princess. You are ours now”, Stefan pulled me into a hug.
Soon, Kevin joined and pulled Riven into a hug too, and it felt more like a group hug. Awkward!
“Well, baby”, Stefan called my name and I looked at him confusedly.
What does he want now?
“Please take a shower. I can still smell your o*gasm from here”, Stefan whispered in my ear seductively, although he didn’t need to but the two Alphas in the room could hear him loud and clear.
The moment he was done, he chuckled and the other two brothers looked away laughing.
“You bloody triplets…!” I threw the pillows at all of them and left their room.
“Babe..? Love..? Giselle? Sweetheart..?” I heard them calling me with nicknames but I didn’t turn around.
How dare they!
I went inside my room, stomping my feet on the ground. I know it’s a bad habit. The sweet little ground did nothing wrong, but I couldn’t control my anger.
They don’t miss a single chance to tease the hell out of me.
I opened my closet and removed a white flowy dress which had delicate sheer lace details on the neckline and waist, giving it a sexy yet elegant look.
I don’t know what is happening to me. When my father brought this dress, I asked him if he thought I was a bimbo and he told me to wear it when I go out with my mate. I clearly remember I told him that I would never ever gift wrap myself for a guy.
For the first time in my life, I wanted to dress up and look good for someone. What the heck are these triplets doing to me? Are they using some witchy ju ju on me? Because I feel completely bewitched by them!
I shook my head to remove their thoughts from my brain and went inside to take a warm shower.
I removed my clothes and stood under the running warm water. My body started to feel relaxed. The exhaustion began to fade away.
I feel like I spoke too soon, as I heard a series of knocks on my door.
Thinking it was my mother who had come here to irritate me, I replied, “What is it?”
I was shocked to my core when I heard the ‘click’ sound of the door unlocking followed by a familiar deep husky voice from the other side,
“May I come in?”
