4 - Sahan's loving pov

[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.
