Fated To Three, Betrayed By All… Until She Rose. Chapter 405: Impossibilities

Leilani.

I know that I should avoid the triplets like a plague, but for so reason, I could not. Not when they were in my literal hair like lice. Not when they were hovering around like smoke, and especially not when I could I feel them... their eyes boring in my skin... and their featherlight touches brushing over my skin like a lustful caress whenever they passed by .

It was intentional. That I was sure of. I was also quite sure that all of what they did was in an attempt to get to react strongly to their theatrics.

I buried my face into the laptop in front of as I tried for several hours to fix the bug problem that Kael had asked— no, begged— to, and after what felt like forever, like an eternity of breathing through my lips because my nostrils had long stopped working, due to how flustered I was, I finally lifted my head, t his gaze and said;

"It is done."

The bug issue?" Zevran asked, sounding stunned.

"Yes, it is done."

"And you have checked through the docunt? Have you read our portfolio? The one we said wasn’t good enough and intended to show to the bigger Valemont?" That was Kael and I didn’t even need to turn around to face him as I nodded.

"Yes."

"Wow! That was fast!" Zevran cried out in excitent as he ca forward to co sit beside . While he did so, his arm brushed against mine, sending jolts of electricity rushing through my body.

I almost flinched at the contact but upon biting down on my lower lip and pushing whatever sensation I felt down, I held myself from doing so and said softly; "Are you satisfied?"

He leaned close to the laptop screen, his eyebrows scrunched together as he read through the docunts in front of him. He didn’t even need to say a word for to see how excited he was. And after a mont, he leaned away, pulled into his arms until I was pressed HARD against him and kissed my forehead with flourish.

"Yes, yes I am satisfied! Thank you so much, Lani!"

His excitent made smile despite myself. It made my traitorous heart flutter in my chest and made heat bloom on my face. However, I was just about to respond when he turned to his brothers and cried out; "Kael, Caelum, co and take a good look at this!"

I stilled.

It wasn’t until Caelum’s na was ntioned that I finally rembered that he was here with us. Since the break of dawn, he’s been aloof, cold and has kept to himself. He also didn’t bug like he always would and did nothing besides cast lingering looks at .

There were monts I couldn’t help but think that he was avoiding , and now— now that Zevran had called out to him and Kael, and he still didn’t move an inch or especially try to co close, I decided then that he was indeed avoiding .

I rolled my eyes.

Please goddess, make him remain this way.

Kael however pushed forward and peeked into the screen, and upon seeing what I have spent the past two hours working on, he whistled excitedly, his eyes glowing with joy as he cried out;

"You are so good, Leilani! No wonder Frostclaw keeps you close!"

The complint made my face burn and I ducked my head, smiling shyly as I whispered; "You’re wrong."

But he didn’t hear . No one did as Caelum drawled;

"Yes, this is exactly why he has refused to allow other companies pitch themselves to her or propose—"

"Wait what?" I frowned. "What do you an?"

"Do you not know that you’re a golden egg around town? That everyone has been trying to steal you right from under Alpha Frostclaw’s nose..."

"And he knows!" Zevran cut in, "I do not bla him anyway for wanting to keep you right with him until the very end. You’re so smart!"

Their complints were making my heart swell so much. It was making blush so fiercely, I feared my cheeks would crack.

I slowly rose to my feet, pushing away their large bodies that were pressed against mine as I soon began to make my way to the kitchen. However, I had just passed by the dining table when Kael’s phone began to ring.

I stopped, turned to him but then deciding that it was probably none of my business, I turned away.

However, I had just taken a step when I heard Kael sigh under his breath. He asked; "Alpha Frostclaw?"

I froze and spun around but he didn’t return my stare. If anything, he looked like he’d been suddenly pulled into a bubble of his own with his face darkened and his lips pressed into a thin line.

"When? How? Do you have any idea what happened?" He rushed out, causing my heart to skip a beat.

"Now, that is wrong! Look into it please!"

Silence settled in the room as everyone turned to watch him closely, waiting for him to drop the phone so that we could ask him about what was happening, especially since he was trembling so much, I could swear that it was bad news.

A couple more minutes passed before he finally dropped the phone. He looked directly at and drawled; "Sothing may have happened to Alpha Frostclaw."

My heart plumted and for a very brief mont, my brain lost its ability to process information. "Huh?" I asked, "What do you an?"

Kael shrugged and soon sauntered over to . And when he was only a couple of feet away from , he stopped and began to speak. He said; "He didn’t go to work today. He hasn’t been picking his calls or answering any of his texts."

The aning behind those words hit square in the chest, but deciding not to think bad thoughts, especially since the situation hasn’t called for one, I shrugged.

"He might be busy," I began to say but stopped when he pinned with a sharp glare.

"He was last seen yesterday with a woman who has blonde and pink hair. Does that ring any bells?" He asked, and as soon as I heard those words, my throat imdiately went dry. Panic slamd into like a ton of bricks and my hands, once stable, began to shake in terror as I forced out the one word I hated to say;

"Keisha."

"Exactly!" Kael hissed, "he’s either been abducted by her or must’ve willingly gone with her... and you and I know that the second option is as good as impossible."

"It is impossible." I hissed through gritted teeth. "He hates her."

"And she hates you," Zevran added quietly— too quietly, "I think she did this to get to you or to force you out of this house seeing as it is almost impossible to infiltrate."

I did not respond right away because truth be told, there was nothing left to say. And after a mont, Kael finally turned to and asked; "What do you want to do?"

"I want to go to him." I answered, and goddess, I ant it even though their eyes all darkened in jealousy as soon as I uttered those words.

And even though just the re thought of seeing her one more ti filled with panic.

"I need to go to him."
