7 - Hate instilling

The dinner night went awfully awkward as Svetlana kept on thinking if Joselyn was warning her or what. However, what she could not decipher was why the brothers hadn’t found their mates when they all were 21 years old now. How was it even possible for them to not be able to spot their mate?

It could not be that the moon goddess had not blessed them with their mates. The triplets were in the line of being the next alpha which meant they were supposed to have their mates. Svetlana kept on staring at Joselyn from time to time, while wondering if she would be the next luna of the pack. 

Meanwhile, during the whole time Sahan and Zuhan continued to treat her as the special guest. One poured her food while the other kept on asking her if she needed more. Whereas, Lana became puzzled upon their sudden switch of attitudes. Nonetheless, the whole dramatic night ended sooner. 

“Haha, it seems Lana needs a shoulder.” Alpha Zaro spoke upon seeing her swaying silhouette as they all entered the manor. Due to alcohol Lana was mildly conscious and smiled at him. Meanwhile, alpha Zaro gestured to Sahan to walk her towards the room. While he pressed his wife’s shoulder and they both headed towards their own.

Saikus also waved his brothers and took his leave. Zuhan was smiling when Sahan dragged Lana towards her room. On the other hand, Raihan had gone to drop Joselyn off and was probably late. Nonetheless, Sahan took her and pushed open the door of her room with his foot. 

Glancing around he scooped her up in his arms to make the process easier. “You little kitten!” He chuckled when Lana threw her head over his chest and wrapped her arms around Sahan’s neck. She was completely unconscious by that time and drifted into her sleep. “Better when you are quiet.” He remarked.

Sahan walked up to her bed and placed Lana comfortably. Pulling up the duvet he realised something over her body. “This…?” Lana’s neckline was slightly tilted exposing her shoulder. Sahan spotted some old marks on her shoulder which made him curious. He extended his hand to touch when Lana immediately turned. 

Lana’s cheek was now over his palm which made Sahan feel flushed. He could potentially see her cleavage now while Lana slept peacefully. “This vixen! What the heck is she doing to us all?” Sahan whispered while staring at her before leaning to cover her body with that duvet. 

“Something certainly magical.” It was Zuhan this time, he had been standing behind at the door watching everything. He spoke in a teasing whisper too while the man walked forward. Sahan gently pulled his palm out and straightened himself. Both of the brothers stared at each other. 

Zuhan walked towards the bed and looked at Lana sleeping. He leaned in and pecked over her forehead before pulling the duvet over her face. “Why?” Sahan raised his one eyebrow to question his actions which made Zuhan shrug his shoulders. Both of them knew that something was wrong with them. 

“Her face is annoying me.” Zuhan lied while both brothers stood beside her in the room. Only if Lana could hear their bickering about her. While the woman slept peacefully both of them were confronting each other in the same room. “So I covered it. What’s the deal with you, huh?” 

Sahan shook his head upon the confrontation and bluntly spoke the truth. “Annoying? Is that why you kissed her?” Zuhan smirked and licked his lips in a seductive manner. Sahan cringed over his brother’s antics knowing that he definitely had some evil going on in his mind. 

“Well, just because I wanted to know how she tastes.” Zuhan’s perverted reply left Sahan speechless as he shook his head once again. Zuhan licked his lips and then turned his head towards Lana. “Which is not bad at all.” This time Sahan smiled at his brother with the same opinion. 

“We should leave before Raihan catches us both simping over her.” Sahan established a mind link and these words were spoken to Zuhan in his head this time. He did not want to disturb Lana’s sleep even though both of them had perverted ideas for her. Somehow they still cared for her and could not bear to do otherwise.

“Yeah, we should. That angry bird would not be happy. And I don’t want another drama at this hour.” Zuhan agreed as they both turned their heads towards the clock. Lana was peacefully sleeping without knowing what was about to happen with her. Zuhan walked out while Sahan accompanied him. 

Meanwhile, Raihan was back after dropping Joselyn and felt the need for water. He headed towards the huge yet empty kitchen of the house. Pulling a water bottle out of the fridge he was pouring water while recalling Joselyn’s words. The water fell out of the glass and onto the slab, bringing him back to reality. 

“Fuck!” Raihan cursed and slammed his fist on the marble slab in agitation. His breathing was heavier, clearly indicating that something had made him angry. “It hasn’t been even 24 hours in this house and she has been creating a rift in every one of us.” Raihan was adamant in his assumption.

He could not see ahead of Lana’s past and their deeds. It made him angry when Joselyn told Raihan what Lana asked her. Instead of thinking it with his cool mind Raihan assumed that she deliberately asked that. He could not bear Lana’s intrusion in his personal life, which was falsely led by Joselyn. 

“How dare she mock Joselyn like that? What does she even think of herself? Roadside trash my father picked!” Raihan’s words were a bare whisper which were heard by alpha Zaro. The old man had been standing outside and halted when he heard Raihan blabbering in anger. 

Something had to be done because the triplets had not been accepting Lana as a family.
