I choked on literal air.
"What?" I whispered while still feeling like I had heard wrong. Live together? Like sharing a room? A bed??
Oh god.
I’m going to faint.
"You can’t be serious!" I cried out after finally finding my voice and as expected, Damon rolled his eyes and leveled a flat look.
"What’s so hard to understand?" He demanded and I gestured between them while struggling to speak again.
"So.,, I’ll have to share a room with you three? Like, a room?" I whispered and when they all nodded at the sa ti, I’d hand lost my footing if Damon hadn’t grabbed my arm, a touch which sent sparks flying up my veins,
After wrenching my arm from his grip, I stepped back snd shook my head while gesturing between them. "You can’t be serious, that’s ridiculous, how can you expect to do that?"
"Well, we can’t afford for the truth to be blown. To everyone, it’s gonna seem like a real marriage. If even a single maid discovers that we sleep in different rooms, the whole pack would have heard of it by the end of the day. So basically, we have no choice." Damon spoke this ti as he folded his arms and I let out a stuttered sigh while desperately wishing that he was joking around, but deep down, I could already tell that he was being serious, and Damon wasn’t even the type to joke around.
"That’s..." I began then trailed off when I felt lightheaded.
"Don’t make it seem like such a big deal, stunning. We won’t touch you if you don’t want us to, so stop looking so frightened." Landon said this ti and I gulped, feeling a little relieved by those words, but only a little.
"We won’t be touching her at all. This is only gonna be for show and nothing more." Damon pointed oou in a clipped voice and I swallowed, feeling more relieved by those words, but also a little hollow and displeased at the reminder that Damon feels zero attraction towards .
"Nah, speak for yourself, man. I definitely wanna touch her, can’t you see how stunning she is? She’s even more stunning underneath her clothes." Landon drawled, his eyes never leaving my face for a second as he spoke and I felt my face grow hot as I averted my gaze while awkwardly coughing.
Before I could get a word out, intentdrr on setting Landon straight, Angelo’s voice cut through the air.
"Let’s head out, guys. We really should get moving already."
~~~
In the large opening, here in the pack’s square, everywhere was filled up with so many people and once again, I was reminded of the fact that this pack was ten tis more populated than my pack back at ho, and I felt very overwheld right now. Everyone glancing at right now still see as Damon’s Mistress and nothing more, and for a mont, it hit that getting married to the triplets would make their Luna.
That thought suddenly overwheld and I decided to step out of the room for a mont to catch my breath. Outside, the night air was the right temperature on my skin and an ironic feeling ca over . All my life, I trained hard to beco a Luna. After my birthright was taken and given to my younger sister, I thought that was gonna be the end of dreaming big. Alas, now, I was about to beco a luna in the pack of my pack’s enemies’ pack.
Back when my birthright was taken away, my mother said it was because I’d be unable to have a child as a hybrid. I wonder if the princes would still want to get married to should they discover that I’m a hybrid, but I was quick to remind myself that they wouldn’t care since the marriage wasn’t real and only for the ti being.
When soone ca to stand beside , I stiffened as I whirled around, and surprise filled up my insides as my eyes locked with the perfect gentleman I danced with last night at the ball.
Prince Hugo.
He looked as good looking as he looked last night, and the grin he gave was dazzling as he bowed, then took my hand and brushed a kiss over the back. That move made feel giddy, and more like a princess than I’ve ever felt in my entire life.
"What are you doing out here alone in the cold?" He asked after dropping my hand and I shrugged.
"Felt a little overwheld, so I ca to get so fresh air."
He humd while nodding. "Ah, that’s understandable. It gets really overwhelming around this many people, but you’d get used to it... if you’re here to stay that Is."
My heart lurched a little just as he continued.
"Damon’s mistress, eh? Where did my cousin find such a lovely little thing like you?" As he spoke, his eyes raked over my body and as my brain began to co up with a response, all that ca to mind was the warning the triplets gave last night... concerning this particular man.
I hadn’t even known they were cousins till this very mont.
Do they not get along?
"I’m very jealous, I wouldn’t lie. I wished I had found you earlier... I wouldn’t even make a damsel like you a mistress, you’re worth way more than that." He continued before I could respond to his previous question.
My cheeks ward a little because what he said was very flattering. However, at that very mont, soone was stepping in my line of sight, and my breath stumbled in my chest as soon as I realized that it was Landon.
"What are you doing here, cousin?" Landon breathed out, voice sounding cheerful, but I knew better than to be fooled, which was why I instantly tensed up.
"I should be asking the sa of you, cousin, since after all, I was trying to get to know this gorgeous woman before you interrupted us."
Landon grinned this ti, and my heart hamred against my ribs, alarm bells going off in my head.
"Are you now?"
