Mated to Four Alphas Chapter 296: Flashback - 36

Silas’s POV

After talking with Dad, when Orian and I ca out from his study and were about to leave, I saw Damon, Lysander, Theron, and Kael standing in our garden. They were talking. What are they doing in our garden?

"Let’s go. They are in our garden. We need to chase them out," I said.

"Silas, just say it straight. If you want to talk to them, why are you making jokes here?"

"I’m not joking, I was telling the truth." I pouted because I was not joking. It was true that I wanted to chase them out of my garden. But yes, that was a lie. I wanted to et them. But if I had told Orian that, yes, let’s go et them, it would be strange. That’s why I told him let’s chase them out.

We both stepped into the garden and took steps toward those four brothers. As we reached them, I tapped on Lysander’s shoulder, making him turn around. I was standing right behind him.

"Oh, Silas."

"What are you all doing here? And what are you talking about? All of your faces are looking very serious."

From their faces, I could tell they must have been talking about the things that happened in the eting, or they must have had so more serious issues they were worried about. I don’t know. But yes, I’m feeling a lot better now. Like there is so kind of energetic, spiritual energy inside , growing second by second, telling to be happy.

"Silas, how are you feeling now? Are you okay?" Lysander asked .

"What would happen to ? I am totally fine. I was just tired, but I am full of energy now. What about you four?"

"Nothing, just talking about you. If you don’t mind, can we talk... sowhere else?"

I understood from Damon’s words that he didn’t want to talk here because Orian was here. He wanted to talk privately. But what is it that he doesn’t want Orian to hear?

"What do you want to talk about that you can’t say here in front of Orian? He’s my brother, so of course, he knows everything about . So tell , what?"

I could see the sweat on the foreheads of not one, but all the brothers. Damon was glancing at Kael, and his eyes were saying, You go and tell. Kael took a deep breath and ca forward, standing right in front of .

"Silas, do you love anyone? I an, are you thinking about getting married to any other alpha?"

I don’t know why Kael is asking all of a sudden about getting married. Till now, I have never thought seriously about marriage. I never looked at any alpha with that intention—except these four. But how am I supposed to tell him the truth? It would be very embarrassing. So let’s just make up sothing.

"Yeah, I used to love an alpha. He was my first love. And I think I still love him," I randomly blurted out.

"But you did tell that you are single. And that you were interested in us. You never told that you have a first love and you still love him."

Oh gosh, how did I forget? That, in the heat of the mont, I was really bold and told Damon the truth!

As I turned and looked at Orian, he was looking at with a shocked face, his eyes widened. I guess he couldn’t believe his ears—what he had just heard now. I think this was the reason why Damon had told to go sowhere else. God, this must be embarrassing for them too. Wait, are they confessing to ? But who is confessing? Kael or Damon? Or all of them?

"Silas, you continue to talk with them. I have so work, so I will go." Orian left from there like a gust of wind. As he left, only we five were there, and I glanced at them.

"Can I ask, why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Silas, I don’t know if you had soone or not, but we were interested in you from the start. And after all this, our hearts do not want to leave you alone. We want to protect you. That’s why, if you are also interested in us, please tell us, so we can talk further. If not, then we will give up."

Wait, what did Damon just say? Is he proposing to ? I guess that’s the reason he’s telling all this. And if I say, yes, I’m interested in them now, I think they would propose to . But how are they going to propose? Are they going to say they want to marry ? Or will there be sothing romantic?

"Wait, guys. Don’t pressure Silas. If you want to ask, ask him slowly. Why are you suddenly telling him to give answers?"

Theron said that. It’s not like I was feeling pressured, but when he ntioned it—yes, they were pressuring . They should ask gently and softly.

"Guys, let’s take things slowly cab we and why were you asking this? Were you going to propose to ? Or is there... any other reason?" I don’t like to beat around the bush, that’s why I directly got to the point and asked them.

"Silas, we talked with your dad about us. And he said no. But... it all depends on your feelings. I don’t know who you like among the four of us, but whoever you choose, I will be happy."

Damon and his words are seriously sothing. If I don’t choose Damon, he will be sad. But who do I like the most—Damon, Kael, Theron, or Lysander? I don’t think I like anyone the most. I like all of them equally. I think sothing is strange with . Am I weird? For liking all of them?

I touch my head. Tell that sothing is wrong with . Why can’t I choose one from those four brothers? Why is my heart telling to choose all of them? Not one? No—I can’t do this.

Kael stepped forward and touched my hand. He was worried about because I was doing this dramatic action—touching my head and thinking deeply.
