Ditched Cheating Alpha, I Led My Daughter to Life's Peak novel Chapter 71

I give a so-so wave.

He thinks for a moment. "Things are quite literally going to crap and we need to focus on making sure the town doesn't fall apart."

"But more importantly," Axel says. "We don't want to school you."

"School me?" I ask.

Aiden nods. "If we show you around town and tell you what to think of it, that doesn't give you the opportunity to see it for yourself and form your own interpretation. We're not your teachers and were not your parents."

Axel cuts in quickly. "We're your mates," he smiles.

Aiden opens his mouth.

Axel cuts him off. "All of us." He looks at both of his brothers. He waits for a response.

Carson nods after a while. "All of us."

They both look at Aiden. He says nothing.

"Aiden?"

He sighs, he looks at all of us with a dry expression. "...All of us."

Axel sighs, relieved. I double take at him. Did he not believe he'd say that?

Axel smiles at me and says, "I'll--"

Carson and Aiden snap their heads in his direction. Carson growls, "What happened to we?"

Axel says something under his breath, trying to keep his smile. "We'll be here if you need help, but this part should be on your own."

"We can't spoon feed you is what he's trying to say," Aiden adds.

"Alright," I cut off before this turns into another dying speech. "So if you guys aren't showing me around, who is?"

"Our betas."

My eyes widen. I imagine Onai showing me around town. Wrong, wrong. No response for hours. Harsh glare in my direction.

Oh god no.

I look at Axel apprehensively, then shift my eyes to Aiden. Ethel is cool but, it's not like I exactly know him like that. I'm kind of surprised they're willing to just let me run around town with another man.

"What's wrong?"
