I was among the first set of people to arrive at the triplet’s birthday party venue.
The caterers, DJ and other party staff were already running around setting up for the party.
I sighed heavily watching the organized chaos but I couldn’t help but feel proud of myself for putting all this together.
What in the world made think that I could avoid attending the party anyway? I ntally slapped myself for having such a stupid thought.
Of course, I had to be here to do more maid duties and make sure that everything went well.
The housekeeper found first thing this morning to pile on a list of more tasks for to handle at the party.
“Order of the Luna,” she said.
I was just glad that the Luna didn’t co looking for herself. I was trying to avoid every single one of them.
But avoiding the triplets was turning out to be an impossible task. There was no way I could avoid running into them at the party.
My only hope was that they’d be too busy to pay any attention to .
Their friends would be here. As well as their girlfriends. Hopefully, that would keep them too busy to talk to .
I still couldn’t believe that I was the triplet’s mate. Why did fate hate so much? Hadn’t I suffered enough in my life already?
My eyes strayed to the other end of the hall where I noticed a figure staring at . I peered closer.
‘Luna Evelyn!’ I gasped. And she was standing right next to Alpha Henry. He was here too? My heart began to beat faster.
Did they already find out that I was the triplet’s mate? Was that why they were here so early?
They would punish for daring to stain their perfect bloodline. The punishnt would probably be brutal.
Luna Evelyn lifted her hand and cocked her finger. The order was clear: ‘Co.’
A lump grew in my throat. ‘They are going to skin alive,’ I thought.
I swallowed the lump and rushed to her, bowing respectfully. “H-hello, Luna. Good day, Alpha. I didn’t know you’d arrived.”
I held my breath, waiting for the onslaught.
“Are the preparations almost done?” She asked sharply, ignoring my greeting as usual.
“The what?” I gasped before I could catch myself.
“Are you going deaf, girl?” She asked.
“Y-Yes, ma’am. I an, no, Luna,” I caught myself quickly. “Everything is going well.” A wave of relief crashed through . She didn’t know yet!
She turned away from without acknowledging my answer and began to talk to her husband.
They started walking around the hall slowly, surveying the decorations. I held my breath, waiting for their verdict.
“This is absolutely gorgeous,” Luna Evelyn finally said.
Alpha Henry nodded. “The white and gold the was the best choice. It suits the triplets perfectly.”
“It screams royalty which is exactly what my darling boys are,” Luna Evelyn gushed.
I blushed deeply, happy to see the work of my hands being praised so much. My lips curled into a small smile.
“I knew it was the best decision to have Jessie handle the decorations,” Luna Evelyn suddenly added. “She did such a wonderful job.”
The smile died on my lips. Jessie?
“We must rember to reward her well for this,” Alpha Henry answered. “Perhaps a gold chain? Or a designer purse?”
My heart sank. I wanted to scream that the decorations were all my hard work. Jessie had nothing to do with it!
But I dared not say a word. I swallowed my protest despite the budding pain in my chest.
The last thing I needed right now was to draw extra attention to myself. Not until I found a way out of this problem first!
Suddenly Luna Evelyn turned to . “You’re still here?” She demanded. “Don’t you have sothing to do?”
“I’m sorry, Luna,” I apologized quickly and rushed away. From the corner of my eyes, I saw them walking out together. I breathed a sigh of relief.
I hurried over to the DJ. “Hello, did you get the list of the triplet’s preferred songs that I sent?”
He nodded. “Yes, I did. But it wasn’t stated if there is an order in which you want them played.”
I drew closer to him to go over the list together and work out a good pattern.
“Girls, she is here! Told you we’d find her here,” a voice suddenly interrupted.
I turned around and saw lanie, Annie, and Kira staring at with cold fury on their faces.
A wave of dread curled down my spine. ‘What do they want now?’ I wondered.
“You stupid bitch, what did you do!?” lanie growled at .
“What are you talking about?” I demanded. “I didn’t do anything. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Don’t lie to us, you filthy maid. Tell us the truth!” Kira snapped, stalking at .
I instinctively took a step back. “What truth? I have no idea what you’re talking about, for real.”
“I told you she’d just keep lying!” Annie said. She grabbed my hand, squeezing it tightly.
I cried out in pain. “What are you doing!? Let go of !”
“The triplets broke up with us,” She snapped. “We know you had sothing to do with it! What did you say to them?”
My eyes widened. “They did what!? Why did they break up with you guys?”
The triplets usually changed won like they changed clothes but they usually spent at least three months with them first!
Their relationships with lanie, Annie and Kira were barely a month and a half old.
Why would the triplets break up with their girlfriends? Could it be...Could it be because of ? Surely not!
Were they really taking this mate business that seriously? To the extent of breaking up with their girlfriends because of ? I couldn’t believe it.
“The mont they took your side yesterday instead of ours, I just knew there was sothing nasty about you,” Kira snapped.
“Exactly! So don’t act clueless, you scheming bitch! We know everything!” lanie scread at .
My heart jumped into my throat. What did she an by that? Did they reveal to the girls that I was their mate? Panic seized .
“We know that the triplets found their mate!” Kira spat, confirming my fear.
I couldn’t breathe.
She grabbed my shoulder, shaking like a rag doll until it felt like my brain had gotten loose in my skull.
“Tell us who she is! Tell us, you bitch!” She cried.
Wait! I blinked slowly. They had no idea who the triplet’s mate was yet. My secret was still safe!
I needed to get out of here as soon as possible.
“Listen, ladies! I don’t know anything about the triplets breaking up with you! I haven’t even talked to them since the last ti you saw ,” I cried.
Why wouldn’t they believe ? I was just as shocked at this information as they were.
“We don’t believe you!” Kira shouted. She raised her hand and struck across the face.
Her open palm landed on my cheek with a loud crack. The force of the slap sent reeling backward.
I crashed into sothing hard and cold before I could catch myself. There was a loud crash as it shattered on the floor behind .
I whirled around and found myself staring at the broken pieces of a $500,000 glass sculpture decoration ordered specially by Luna Evelyn for the triplet’s birthday.
My heart stopped beating.
