Giselle’s POV:
‘What the hell actually happened with Riven that they are not even ready to speak about it? Even someone like Stefan avoided my question. There is the only way to find out! I need to call my only trustworthy ally in the house, Caleb Smith!’ I thought, and moved towards my room instead of the dining room.
I called Caleb and waited for him to pick up the call. When he didn’t receive the call, I called him again and again. I was dying out of curiosity and that idiot wasn’t ready to receive my call at all.
After my third attempt, thankfully, he picked up the call.
“Hey, Caleb. How are you?” I asked in a casual tone.
“Heyhhh, sis.. hh” Came Caleb’s husky voice from the other side.
He naturally had a husky voice just like his Triplet brothers, but it sounded more husky, like he was breathing heavily after trekking.
“Caleb, why are you sounding so..?” I began to enquire like an older sister, when I heard something and my eyes widened immediately in shock.
“Ahh…!” I heard a girl’s moan from behind.
“F*ck, Caleb! Are you f*cking a girl???” I asked loudly in astonishment.
I covered my mouth instantly when I realized the Triplets were also in this house and could hear me shouting. I thanked God, when I saw the door of my room was closed and this house, like the pack house, was soundproof as well.
“Of course, sis. I am not a kid anymore!” He replied casually, but his voice was still breathy.
“But you are not an..” I tried to complain but he cut me off.
“Please, Giselle. You sound like our mother. You are my cool sister. At least I have high hopes from you”. I opened my mouth but shut it when I heard him complaining instead.
I just hummed in response.
“Can I call you after five minutes? Pretty please!” He asked cutely, but he had a voice of grown up.
“Fine, go ahead and wrap up everything quickly. By the way, did you use protection?” I asked in a teasing tone.
“Yeah, sis. I am not an idiot! I will call you in a bit!” He said in a frustrated tone.
“Okay, was just making sure you won’t bring a pregnant girl home in the next couple of weeks”, I replied with a mocking laugh.
“SIS!!” He shouted in an irritated tone.
“Okay, okay, sorry. Call me once you are done”, I replied and disconnected the call immediately.
For a moment, I was scared that we also didn’t use any protection either, but then Vera’s face flashed in front of my eyes and I remembered taking the pills Vera gave me.
My foolish a*s then realized I had forgotten to take the pills today. I removed the tablet from my bag and had it.
Just when I kept the tablets inside, my cell phone rang again.
I was afraid that it must be one of the Triplets searching for me and I wouldn’t be able to know about Riven’s secret any sooner as I couldn’t ask Caleb about that secret in front of them, but I took a sigh of relief when I saw it was only Caleb.
He called sooner than he promised. Impressive Stamina!
“Hey, little bro. You called sooner than expected!” I said in a teasing tone.
“Well, my hot company left. She said interruption is a mood killer!” Caleb replied, I know he must be rolling his eyes right now.
“Sorry, it’s all my fault” I replied in an apologetic tone.
“No worries, sis. She was not doing a nice job either. Anyways, why did you call all of a sudden? I thought you were on a romantic vacation with your mates”, I heard Caleb speaking in a teasing tone.
Ignoring his teasing tone, I focused on the main purpose of calling him and said,
“Caleb, I need to ask you something.”
“Anything, sis,” Caleb replied casually.
My cute little brother! Always ready to help.
“When I ask you, do not try to change the topic, I am smarter than you, and I won’t accept ‘it’s not my secret to share’ as an answer. You are my brother and you have to tell me” I said in a demanding tone.
“Okay, sis. Don’t worry. Just ask it out. Your brother will tell you everything” Caleb replied in a reassuring tone.
“What is wrong with Riven? I mean, why is he so cold and rough?” I asked in a curious tone, but didn’t speak the complete matter.
“It’s his nature” Caleb replied nonchalantly.
“I am not talking about his nature, Caleb. Well, i.. I mean.. why is he unable to c*m even if he is rough” I was beyond embarrassed to ask this to my younger brother but I was helpless. I can’t ask this directly to Riven, and Stefan and Kevin are not ready to tell me.
“Oooo, looks like someone is having a really good time, huh? So, you f*cked them but Riven didn’t c*m even after your great performance?” It was Caleb’s turn to tease the hell out of me.
“Caleb, shut the f*ck up before I come home and break your mouth!” I spoke angrily.
“Oops, sorry. Did they mark you? Should I call you sister or sister-in-law now?” Caleb teased me again, that little brat was beyond curious about different matters.
“CALEB! FOCUS!” I nearly screamed in frustration.
“Nobody marked me and I am always going to be your sister! Now tell me. What is the matter with Riven!” I asked loudly in an annoyed tone.
I heard Caleb’s breath quickening through the phone. He was tensed! But why? What are they hiding?
“Um.. sis. That.. There is a secret we have kept from you”, Caleb said in all seriousness, his mischievous personality was long gone.
“And what is that?” I asked curiously.
“Riven was tortured when we were little!” Caleb replied in a whisper.
“WHAT?” This time, I really shouted.
Caleb really expected this reaction from me, as he didn’t reply for a while to let me digest the information.
I composed myself soon and spoke in a frightened voice, “What are you saying? What really happened with Riven? Who did it? Why does none of the other packs know about it?
I asked everything literally in one breath without giving him time to reply at all.
“Well, it wasn’t directed towards Riven though” was the only reply Caleb gave me.
“So, who was their target?” I asked in an utterly curious tone.
“Me, I was their main reply” he replied in a serious voice.
“You? Why you, Caleb? You are not even an Alpha! Why does someone want to hurt you? Did someone hold grudges against you?” I asked, my voice was shaking, I was scared to death.
The word ‘torture’ was spinning in my head and making me shiver in fear.
“Nope, they held grudges against our pack, as well as the whole werewolf community!” Caleb replied in a plain voice.
“WHAT???”
