Samarah's Pov
Both Zack and I sat as we drank our coffee while waiting to hear Owen's wail, but we didn't hear it.
"Is he dead?" I asked while I crunched the cookie in my mouth.
Zack smiled and shrugged his shoulders while looking refreshed. "Who knows? I'd be the first person to rejoice if he died."
I laughed after hearing his words. After all, Owen was the most talkative, loud, mischievous, and prankster of the three of us.
If he is with us, there's no way that there is peace. That's why this moment was a rare tranquility.
"You traitors! What did you say?!"
I heard Owen's loud voice, who rushed towards our direction. I immediately stood up and avoided him, while Zack, who was too late to move, had his head locked in Owen's arm.
I couldn't help but laugh while looking at the two of them.
Zack slapped his arms and escaped from him. "Damn you! I almost got choked!"
"That's the purpose! How could you be so cruel and let me die?!" Owen's loud voice had echoed the villa.
I rolled my eyes and looked at them helplessly who were arguing back and forth.
I am no longer suprised if I would see them uneath their swords right now. After all, the two of them are like fire and water.
Owen's veins on his forehead and also his neck had already pop up while quarreling with Zack. Meanwhile, Zack was just sipping his coffee while nodding at Owen's insult with a smile, that not-so-smile that only made Owen's anger rise to the same level as mount tai.
Well, if I were Owen right now and was dealing with someone like Zack, I would surely cough up blood.
"Stop, stop quarreling! Are you both a child?!" I raised my voice while glaring at the two of them.
Owen sneered, but he stopped arguing with Zack, but he sat on the corner of the sofa while sulking.
I glared at Zack and pointed to Owen using my lips.
Zack let out a heavy sigh and stood up, walking towards Owen, who was pouting.
"Stop sulking, I'll treat you to an ice cream later." Zack said while patting his shoulder.
Owen rolled his eyes and ignored him.
"I'll treat you to an ice cream for a month." Zack added while massaging his temple.
This time, Owen looked up at him and declared, "You'll be our walking credit card for a month."
Hearing this, my eyes twinkled in delight as I looked at Zack with excitement.
In the end, Zack couldn't resist our gazes and ended up complying with it. "Fine, fine. Happy now?"
I nodded my head and went over to hug him. "Thanks bro!"
Then I looked at Owen and winked at him while pointing at Zack.
Owen clicked his tongue and his hand reached out, pinching my cheeks. "You think I didn't see that you were laughing earlier?"
I chuckled and hid myself on Zack's back while sticking out my tongue at him. "So what if I laugh? Is there a problem?"
"You brat! If you weren't our precious baby, we would have spanked your ass." Owen said as he was about to chase me, making me run towards the door.
Owen paused and helplessly looked at me. "What are you running for, coward? Come back here!"
"I don't want to!"
"Alpha Ash wanted to talk to you in his room," Owen said, while urging me to go to Ash's room.
I squinted my eyes and looked at him doubtfully. "Is that true?"
"What do you take me for?" Owen felt wrong.
I rolled my eyes at him. "A liar."
"I'm not lying this time. When I got there to sacrifice my right arm to wake him up, he was already awake, and he told me that he wanted to talk to you." Owen calmly said while looking at me 'sincerely' in the eyes.
I was still doubtful about his words. Who made him always prank me that no matter how serious he is, I couldn't help but doubt it.
I looked at Zack and saw him nodding his head. "You go and see what the Alpha wants to say."
Sensing that they were serious about it, I nodded my head and headed to Ash's room.
Before I could raise my hand and knock on the door, it had already been opened, and his hand grasped my wrist, pulling me to his embrace.
He sniffed at my neck and frowned as he looked at me. "Those two idiots snuggled at you again?"
I nodded my head and lightly pushed him. "Yeah. You know their personalities."
His brows furrowed and the arm around my waist tightened. "I told you to not let them hug you. I don't want their scent on you."
I helplessly looked at him. "We are brothers, and they only see me as their sister, the same as you."
I saw him sneer. "Yeah right. This brother in front of you had already fucked you."
My cheeks heated up and I slapped his chest. "Ash!"
His gaze locked onto me and raised his brows. "What? Didn't we do it? Making love with each other?"
If Zack is the acting saint in our team and Owen is the troublemaker one, then Ash is the one who doesn't have a filter in his mouth.
He's the straightforward kind of man and would say what he wants to say, even the most shameful and embarrassing words, without changing his expression.
"Why do you want to see me?" I changed the topic before the atmosphere led to some sensual one.
Ash leaned closer to my face, making my heart throb. Damn it. As a face-con, he really does have a face that could make my legs soften and heart race.
"I want to fuck you here."
Only if he would just zip his mouth.
I rolled my eyes and pushed his face away from me. "If you don't have anything to say, I'll go now."
I was about to leave but he stopped me.
He motioned me to sit on the sofa and handed me the paper.
I looked at him and then looked at the paper. The more I read it, the more my brows furrowed.
"Are they for real?" I gritted my teeth and asked him.
Alpha Ash nodded his head and patted my head. "They've paid a large sum of money to ask for our assistance."
I glared at him. "So you're going to help them?"
"We're going to help them."
I slammed the paper on the table and stood up. "I don't want to! You can go ahead and save them instead! I don't want to go back there!"
He frowned. "Don't tell me that you haven't moved on yet?"
I paused and gritted my teeth. "I've moved on already. I just don't want to go back there!"
"Or don't tell me you still love that mate of yours." He sneered.
I rolled my eyes. "Ex. And besides, I've fully moved on from that manwhore who does nothing but fuck around with different women."
"See? There's no problem with you going back there since you've already moved on," he simply said as he took me in his embrace.
He added while gently patting my head, "you know that you are our princess. There's no way that we would let those idiots hurt you."
Samarah's POV"Darn it, wake up! I'm going to be late because of you!"I was jolted awake because of the pain in my ribs. I hugged myself and instinctively protected my head."Are you still not going to come out and do your job?!" I heard her angrily say and just when I felt like she was going to raise her foot to kick me again, I immediately stood up and climbed off the bed."I-I'll cook now..." I timidly said without looking at her face and directly went to the kitchen to cook for her.Tears slowly fell on my cheeks while I fried the fish and almost got burnt by the oil. I pressed my lips together and endured the oil that would hit my arms or, even worse, my face."What are you screaming for?! You're eating here for free, and you can't even do a basic job?!" She angrily yelled while putting on her makeup.I looked away and bit my lower lip, trying to endure the pain whenever the hot oil hit my arms.Right, she's my stepsister, Thalia. She's the child born from cheating and betrayal
Samarah's PovI wiped my hands that were wet from washing the dishes onto the handkerchief and happened to glance at the time.7:45 am.Damn it! I'm late!I hurriedly went upstairs and took a bath at the fastest speed and changed my clothes. I didn't even have the time to comb my wet hair and just tied it in a bun before I took out my black-framed glasses, then grabbed my bag before I left the house.Since I don't have a car, I only rely on the bus to send me to school. However, because it was already past seven-thirty, the bus had already departed.I caught my breath and sat on the chair while waiting for the second bus. I couldn't help but massage my temple.I'm already late. How unlucky could I have become!After waiting for almost twenty minutes, the second bus had arrived, and I hurriedly got in.When I arrived in front of my class, I was hesitant to grab the handle of the door and open it.I took a deep breath and braced myself for their teasing remarks as I hung my head down an
Samarah's PovThe next morning, I woke up before the alarm rang to prevent Thalia from kicking her again just the way she did to me yesterday.I went to the kitchen and started to prepare breakfast while humming.I couldn't wait for my mate to appear and for my transformation later! I'm looking forward to it!The corner of my lips raised as I continued to hum while frying a ham. Part of me hoped that Alpha Havoc would be my mate.After all, there is no one in this world who is gentle and kind towards me other than him."What are you humming about? Hah! You must be dreaming that you will be paired with an Alpha."I paused and glanced at Thalia who had just woken up, and her eyes were looking at me with disgust while leaning on the wall."T-Thalia... the breakfast isn't prepared yet..." I softly said, ignoring her contempt remarks.However, I thought that it would divert her attention, yet instead, she insulted me even more.Thalia looked at me from up to down and let out a mocking laug
Samarah's PovI bared my teeth at them and looked at them warily. If they dared to pull off something right now, I would bite them back.However, they didn't. They shifted back to their human form and swiftly changed their clothes, making me close my eyes."We meant no harm." I heard them say.I looked up and saw the man who said those words. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. He showed me such a gentle smile and those smiles almost reminded me of my ex-mate, making me frown.But compared to my ex-mate, he seemed more harmless and my gut was telling me that they really meant no harm.Still, I can't easily lower my guard.I heard one of them say again. "Shift back to your human form, and we'll talk."After he said that, the three of them turned their backs and were waiting for me to shift back.Although I was hesitant, I changed back and took the clothes from my bag. Just like them, I swiftly put it on.I hoarsely asked, "what do you want from me?"They turned back and looked at me."We
