Chapter 3 Bullied by the triplets
~OLIVIA
"Mate!"
The moment we said it, all four of us froze. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Josh come to stand beside me in shock. I was as shocked as he was. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
This was nowhere near the fairytale that I had planned in my head for my future. It was supposed to be just one man who would take me away. Was it too much to ask for?
Yet here I was, standing before the very three men who were the cause of my everyday misery. How could the devilish Lycans be my mate? How was this even possible?
They were supposed to be the next Alphas of the Golden Ville pack. Whoever became mated to them would turn out to be the Luna.
How could I be Luna? I was a nobody. The pack already hated me. I doubted if they were going to accept me as their Luna.
Suddenly, the Lycans recovered from their shock and sent me hateful glares. "I was right from the start where I said that you were a pest!" Lucas exclaimed.
"You'll be stupid if you think that we're going to settle for someone like you as a mate!" Lucien growled.
I felt my heart cut into half and sink into the pit of my stomach. My chest began to rise and fall as my second fear started to materialize. Were they really about to reject me?
"You're nothing but a lowlife, below-par wolf. You're a filthy, ugly and short little thing and I can never accept you as my mate!" Logan joined in.
I felt my heart further sink and I thought I was going to lose my balance. Standing was becoming a hard task due to all their hurtful words.
Lucas, the older brother stepped forward to give me the final blow. "You're a pathetic, stupid and brainless omega. You're a liability and a curse. We, the triplets of Golden Ville Pack will never accept bad luck like you as a mate. We hereby reject you!” Lucas spat and no one needed to tell me what was coming next as what was left of my broken heart began to pound rapidly against my chest.
I knew there was no hope of love for me anymore. It was confirmed, the moon goddess officially hated me.
I felt as if my entire world had come to a standstill. I stood in the middle and watched helplessly as the heartless triplets stared back at me with nothing but pure hatred.
Again, I asked myself what it was that I did to them. Had I ever wronged them before? Had I hurt them in my past life perhaps?
Because I could not understand why they had chosen to punish me like this. No one could survive as a rejected mate. Everything about life would become miserable until one day, they'll just fade away and die.
Was this the fate that the goddess had chosen for me? That I just die? Was this how much the goddess hated me?
My intake of breath became heavier than I could bare. The world immediately started moving again but most of the sounds had become distant. I felt dizzy and I could not stand there anymore. I needed to go somewhere, far away from here because the pain in my heart was only growing.
I did not know when the pain would become too unbearable and I would fade. I just knew that I had reached the end of the road with such a fate.
I turned around abruptly without saying a word. It was pointless if I spoke and the last thing I was going to do was beg them. That would only satisfy them. I would rather meet my end than give them joy.
"Olivia, where are you going?" Josh asked but there was no answer.
The Lycans remained standing and said no word as they watched me leave. I was glad that I did not have to exhaust any energy on them today.
I continued staggering painfully down the hall. Breathing had become the hardest task as I reached the exit. The moment I stepped out of the building and into the darkness, tears began to stream down my face.
I felt miserable, my only hope had been destroyed. The only thing that had been helping me to survive the bullying had gone down the drain. There was no Prince Charming. There was no longer a mate. I had been rejected and sooner or later, the pain would kill me.
My body shook violently with every tear that exited my eyes. "Why is this happening to me? " I stared up at the crescent moon that shone in the sky.
"I thought we were all your children? So why did you abandon me to this fate? Why did you mate me to men who would never love me?" I cried even harder as I stumbled through the woods.
I had no idea where I was going, I just kept walking. Suddenly, I bumped into a man.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry," I muttered in a shaky voice.
His green eyes glowed as he roamed it over my body. "What is a pretty woman like you doing alone in the woods?" He demanded.
My mouth opened and closed. "I— I just wanted to be alone," I answered.
"It's not safe for girls like you out here, especially when you're in this sad state," he went on.
There was something about his voice that made the hair at the back of my neck stand erect. An involuntary shiver ran down my spine and I knew that I needed to stay away from him.
"Let me take you home," he offered.
I felt my heart begin to pound in alarm. My cursed wolf had gone back to being dormant so there was nothing she could do for me. I was all alone to face this man.
"It's okay. I can find my own way home," I muttered and turned abruptly to leave.
Yet there he appeared glaring intensely back at me. I flinched away and my eyes flew wide open. That was when I knew that I was in true danger.
"Allow me to take you to my home, Olivia," the man announced.
The sound of my name was enough for me to turn on my heels and begin to run for my life. Whoever this man was, he knew me and he was a total pervert. I needed to make as much distance from him as possible.
"Olivia. . . you cannot run from me!" He called from someplace behind me.
I increased my speed as I realized that my life depended on it. Just because I had been rejected did not mean that I was ready to die. My heart began to pump blood so fast that I thought it was going to explode. My body trembled beyond compare and all I wanted was to stop running and catch some air but I could not do that.
I could hear the man behind me. He had not yet given up on the chase and he was getting close. I ran through the trees as the sounds of my harsh breathing filled the air.
"You cannot escape me, Olivia!" The man roared and my heart skipped two beats.
Fear seized me and I tripped. This made me lose my balance and I fell with a hard crash to the floor. I groaned in pain as I felt a thousand bruises on my body. I let out more groans and was about to exhale when I heard a chuckle from within the trees.
I stopped abruptly and stared in that direction. "Leave me alone. . .please. . ." I cried but this only provoked more chuckles out of the man.
"You're pretty and I want you to myself. I will give you the love that you always wanted but you just have to come with me," the man muttered.
"You're old enough to be my father! Stay the fuck away from me!" I cried and struggled to my feet.
I was about to run again and the man suddenly appeared before me in a flash. "Going somewhere?" He demanded.
I flinched and whimpered at the same time. I was about to run in the other direction when he grabbed me by the hair and started dragging me away.
I screamed again.
"Let me go!" I cried but he only chuckled and he continued dragging me away.
Suddenly, growls resonated from within the trees and in a flash, the Lycan brothers emerged from in their human form and attacked the man.
He released my hair instantly and Lucas grabbed him by the neck. I noticed that he was vibrating with anger as he tightened his grip on his neck.
"Olivia is ours, not yours. We can do to her what we please, not you! I hope you remember that in the future, that is if you survive this ordeal!" Lucas spat before digging his claw into the man's stomach.
He released him immediately and the man hit the ground hard. He started coughing up blood instantly but he didn't stay. He got to his feet immediately and started staggering through the woods, in an attempt to escape the Lycans.
"Should have just killed him," Lucien broke the silence that had befallen us.
"What do we do with her now?" Logan asked.
For the first time, Lucas spared me his gaze. "It is obvious that her existence has become important to our lives due to the fact that mates can't stay away from each other. We don't want to accept her as our mate either," he began. Then he came to a stop before me who was looking up to see his face. He leaned down to my level to give me another blow. "Since she can't be our mate and we need her close, I guess we'll just make her our maid. . ."
