Ditched Cheating Alpha, I Led My Daughter to Life's Peak novel Chapter 118

"Try all three~" Krys says in a sing song voice, grinning at me.

"What?" Michael asks.

I glare at her, but then I fall back against my seat, feeling even worse about the situation.

Brittany gently nudges my shoulder. "Hey, and for the record... It's not cheating if they all agree first." She smirks. "Who'd say no to three partners?"

"Excuse me?" Michael and Krys scream in unison. Michael nearly crashes into the sidewalk while parking.

"I meant hypothetically," Brittany cries out. "I only want one person. I was just being supportive."

"Support this." Krys dramatically leaves the car. "I'm gonna go find another imprint."

"No, wait." Brittany scrambles out of the car after her.

Michael watches me, unsure of what to do you. "You know... Your friends are crazy."

I nod. "I know."

"Are they together?"

I shrug. "I don't know, but they definitely like each other."

"Clearly." He chuckles. Then he pauses. He looks like he's about to say something, but then I hear a loud knock on the door. Again.

"Hurry up, Mia. She's leaving." Brittany stares at me through the window, a little too close to the glass.

I flinch back. "Gotta go. See you at lunch?"

I'm already being dragged out of the car.

"See you," Michael says while getting out of the car himself.

So here I am, being dragged by Brittany who's chasing Krys who's running away from a seemingly unfaithful Brittany who, like I said, is dragging me. You could imagine the looks we're getting in the halls.

"What are you doing to her?" Carson screams.

He's standing in the middle of the hall, mouth agape. He stalks towards me and pulls my arm away from Brittany. "I told you to watch her. Not rip her arm off."

"Well sorry," she yells back. "I have to watch my own imprint too, you know?"

If looks could kill, Carson would've incinerated her.

I stand between them. "I'm fine, really," I tell Carson, but he's not exactly listening to me right now.

His grip on my hand tightens. "It's just regular stuff." He takes a step closer. He stares down at me with a hard expression, I stare up into amber eyes before I look away. "It doesn't even matter anyway. I'm right here, Mia. You're safe."

I nod, taking a deep breath. That's when I feel a tightness in my chest. What is that? I take another breath, but it's not there, so I focus on Carson again.

"If something's wrong," he says. "I could help."

I nod. "I know, Carson. I was just thinking maybe we could all talk about it? You, me, Axel, and Aiden." Yeah. Maybe I should just say everything all at once. Like that time in the classroom, only now I know what I want to say. I know what I want and where my head's at.

I want to somehow try to find a way to make this work with all three brothers. In an exclusive relationship. With no one getting hurt. No one feeling unwanted. No one feeling rejected.

Is that possible? I doubt it. Is it selfish? Hell yeah, but I can't pick, and fuck the friend zone, so this is my only option.

"Why?' he asks.

I raise an eyebrow. "... Why what?"

"Why is it that all of us have to be here for you to ask me anything, but with Aiden or Axel you can just talk to them? ... Is it easier to talk to them?"

I furrow my brow. The hallway's empty now. Class is starting, but somehow I don't feel like right now is a good time to ask for a raincheck. I might end up failing gym at this point. I hope Coach Kenet has compassion. "That's not true."

"Yes, it is." He pulls his hand away from mine. "You never talk to me. You have a problem right now. And I'm here right now, but all you can think about is Axel."
