207 Another failed attempt.
Chalice.
1
It’s been four days! Another four days since I last saw any of my husbands. Four days since they decided I was ‘clean’ enough to grace their presence… and goddess, I think I have finally reached my breaking point.
I think I have finally gotten to the point where I could no longer stand their unreasonable inability to stand my presence.

-And I had gotten to the point where I was done waiting for Lou to take care of my problem:
Leilani.
I had to take matters into my own hands. To kill her myself at any given opportunity. This thought made my hands tremble as I brought my glass of water to my mouth, sighing in tiredness when my

eyes snagged on the several dishes in front of
Before me was a large feast containing foods of different kinds. I had specifically asked the kitchen staff to make a feast for myself and the triplets. To cook everything they could. To make it all mouthwatering… but now, seeing all of it, all I could think of was a way to throw them all out.
Why?
Because I intended to surprise my Alphas. I
wanted them fully fed while I broke the news I had for them… and what did they do? They didn’t show up.
Goddess, we live in the same house but I never get to see them anymore. I never get to talk to them. And after that one time they marked me during our marriage rites. they never touched
They didn’t even consummate our marriage, to
seal the deal and ensure that I become their one
true mate. 2
Now, all I was left with was a partially severed bond. All I could feel was their undying love for my stupid twin sister.
I could feel the way their confused wolves craved her like she was oxygen. And I hated it. I hated that I ever allowed them to mark me only for me to be put through this kind of hell.
The thought made my eyes full with tears as I slowly rose to my feet, intending to walk out of the dining area and abandon all of this hard work put together.
However, just as I rose up, I heard the sound of the front door creaking open and my nostrils flared when I was met with their distinct
tantalizing scent. My wolf rolled over in my mind, exposing her belly in a gesture of submission and

I turned in their direction despite my fruitless attempt to appear unbothered.
‘Act cool… act cool.’ I tried to chant in my head;
So tell me why the fuck I was smiling like a clown, unable to help myself?
Tell me why my smile fell when I realized they didn’t seem as excited as I was to see them?
Zevran, as usual, was the least excited or reactive
to see me. He simply stopped when he saw me, his eyes trailing over the length of my now dyed hair which I had specifically chosen to be in the same shade of silver as Leilani’s, and then he turned away with his nose scrunched up.
But I didn’t miss the almost imperceptible hardening of his jaw or the way his hands balled into fists as he turned away.
He was mad.
Not like I care.
“Is this your latest resort?” A voice asked and I didn’t even need to check to know that it was
Caelum.
My breath hitched when he came to stand close to me- so close that my lady bits trembled when his scent filled my nostrils. I could vaguely remember the way he used to fuck me. How he would pound into me from my behind… the way he loved to suck my tits… the way he fingers me.
I squeezed my eyes shut and bit lips, only snapping out of my reverie when he twirled a few strands of my new hair between his fingers and shrugged.
“It doesn’t look good on you.”
My face fell.
Goddess, if my mood was a balloon then trust me when I say it deflated.
Tears stung my eyes now, and this time, I didn’t
even bother to try to stop it. I brought my hands to my lips and whispered; “Caelu-”
“You’re trying too hard.” He added without missing a beat, not caring about the effects his words had on me. “Even the person you’re trying so hard to emulate doesn’t do so much.” He said,
twisting the knife even deeper into my chest.
I turned away when another smell hit my nose and against my better judgment, my breath hitched when Kael came into view. “What’s the
feast and the hair for?” He drawled from the back, his eyes on the table and not on me.
And fucking hell, I miss the time when he used to look at me. The time when I was his moon and stars and the freaking solar system put together.
The time when he looked at me like I was food and not some disgusting Leilani wannabe. I sighed; “We’re having twins.”
“You’re having twins.” He corrected me without
looking at me, his voice cold as he added; “…that’s not my child in your belly.”
At his words, I froze. My heart fell to my stomach as I turned to Caelum whose face instantly fell. He suddenly looked like he’d just been forced to swallow a large chunk of cut lemon. And without looking at me, he added;
“Good then.”
“Do I start to plan a gender reveal? I’ve always wanted one of those!” I squealed, trying so hard and failing to sound excited. And all these three men could do at that moment was share a glance.
“Do whatever.” Zevran hissed.
“Just make sure you revert your hair to its normal color. This particular color is upsetting to my eyes.” Caelum added, and with that, he walked
away.
Zevran followed shortly afterwards, leaving me
with Kael who walked up to the table, picked up a piece of bread and began to walk away.
He only stopped when he arrived at the foot of the stairs, his voice not more than a whisper as he said; “Have you ever considered a divorce?”
I froze.
“Or maybe a chance to meet your true mate?”
“Kael…” my voice trailed off, my chest heavy.

“Trust me when I say that I do not like you. That I cannot stand you and hope that you rot in hell for
you did… but sometimes, I cannot help but pity you, and the innocent child who doesn’t deserve any of this.”
At his words, my hands found my stomach before I could stop myself. Now, when the tears fell, I did nothing to stop them.
My shoulders shook violently as they came pouring down my face in torrents. I shook my
head. “B-but we were betrothed… we’ve a-always been made for e-each other.”
“If that’s the narrative that helps you sleep well at night, then fly with it.” He drawled, and with that, he disappeared up the stairs, leaving me staring at his retreating body in anger and
disappointment.
1
Anger because I was losing with each passing
moment.
-And disappointment because none of them had eaten from the food. Even the bread that Kael had picked up was discarded on the floor.
And I had taken it upon myself to lace it with some elixirs because I wanted them to look at
me… even if it was for once. I had wanted them to desire me. To care for me.

And I had lost.
Wiping my tears with the back of my hand, I
walked out of the house for a breath of fresh air.
However, I’d just stepped out when I bumped into someone and I froze when my eyes met a set of cocky ones.
Cocky ones that glinted upon seeing me.
A smile graced the stranger’s lips and my heart fluttered when he smiled at me… or smirked.
Whatever.
He asked; “What is it, Luna?”
But I couldn’t speak right away. I couldn’t even move either. And maybe it was the pregnancy hormones and the fact that I’d been neglected for so long, but my pussy soon began to thrum in anticipation.

His fingers trailed my face slowly, stopping to brush away a few strands of my hair, and then he whispered; “You must be the Leilani.”
I froze, my heart beating against my chest like a
wild beast at the thought of being this close to Micah… Goddess, Micah of all people.
His eyes never left my face for once, and maybe it was the reason he never noticed the snap bump
in my dress- that and the fact that it was a pretty nice dress!
He drawled; “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you. I’ve heard so much about you.”
I was tempted to ask him what the said things
were. I wanted to know what he must’ve heard about her to make him- the same cocky bastard who looks down on me- this nice. This
gentlemanly…
I gasped when he brought my hand to his lips and kissed it, winking as he said; “We’ll meet soon, beautiful. We will.”
But it wasn’t his words that made me feel some
type of way…
It was his attitude.
His smile.
His soft gaze.
Goddess, I hate Leilani so much!
