Bonded to Her Triple Alphas

85

Kaya’s POV.

What am I doing here?

“What is this?” I ask my thoughts when I see Kade and Kyle come to stand with my frame being put in their middle, and Kade comes to stand right in front of me.

“Our body is still too weak to communicate with you in the physical world, so we made use of the mate bond since it’s a powerful link.” While Kade explains, I wonder why they would do that.

“And what’s the use?” I ask, my voice showing how much I am disinterested in any conversation with the triplets. I may be fixing my mind and working to be better on my own, but trust me, there’s a larger part of me that still doesn’t want to talk to these monsters, because that’s still what I see them as.

“This is the only good memory we have with you so far.” When Kyle says, I shift my face towards him. He’s being serious, but I still roll my eyes. “I know, it’s very bad of us.”

“Thank you for what you did today. You didn’t need to.”

“Yes, but tell that to Chester. He’s very good at convincing a person otherwise.” I cross my arms over my chest as I look away, acting as though I am entirely not paying attention to the discussion.

Fairly enough, I am happy that the triplets are able to communicate with me through their minds. If anything, it calms me to know that they are healing.

“You’re indeed the light we need, Kaya, settling the war within a flash with the use of peace.” When they begin, I shake my head.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Take me out of here.” I don’t want to hear whatever they have to say next. In my mind, I know if I relax too much, the triplets will penetrate my heart once again, but I’ve given it out to them once, and they crushed it. I’d be a fool to allow them to do the same thing a second time.

“Kaya, please.” Kieran grabs my hand, causing me to shift my eyes from him to Kyle and Kade, and they all want me to stay.

“From today on, we wish to grovel for you.” Kade proceeds.

“To take back all the pain we’ve caused.” Kyle adds in.

“We may be monsters, but we are capable of love, too. And please, just give us the chance to repair all the damages.” Kieran completes.

The three of them go down on one knee while their right hand beats their chest. Kade finishes the last statement. “From the first moment, Kaya, you’ve affected us without even realizing it. You disturbed the curse, and you didn’t stop there. You made us feel feelings that we thought would make us weak, but no, they only turned us into the beings we are today. It’s never been this good before, but it is today. You’ll forever be our queen, Kaya.”

I step back when they say that. “No, I’m doing this for the kingdom alone. I will not allow myself to be fooled.”

“You’re the balance in our world, and we will, without thinking of it twice, move heaven and earth for you. We will howl all night just for a taste of your affection.”

“The kingdom is in peril, and I made a promise to heal Emilie and repair all the damages, but if the people or you do not change, the curse won’t be easy to reverse.” I try to change the conversation, but in these monsters’ eyes, all I see is a concern for me.

Suddenly, my eyes open, and I’m back on the edge of the bed with the triplets still unconscious. As I make my way to Emilie’s room, aiming to start with her, my thoughts drift to the triplets.

Did they really mean what they said-that they’d grovel to my feet? Just thinking about it plasters a red blush on my cheeks without even realizing it. My guard walls crush each time they tell me how much they want to repair all the damages, but it’s now an experience for me, and there’s no way they can take away the pain.

It lives with me forever, and I have found my balance through it. I only hope they heal quickly and find their own equilibrium, too.

The guards did not stop me when I got to the door leading to Emilie’s room, and it ruffled a confusion inside me. They recognize me as a witch and should have actually stopped me, but they did not… except Chester must have meant his words when he said the knights owe me their lives.

I’m grinning hard, realizing how much respect I’m gaining within the blink of an eye. It’s crazy how much pain and disrespect were the only things I was feeling before, but now they all realize how much they’ve been dark and monstrous and seek absolution.

My sight catches Emilie’s figure lying on the bed without consciousness. Her eyes are firmly closed, and her chest isn’t moving at all, which reveals a frown on my forehead. I wonder why she is affected by the curse I made. It was supposed to only affect things made out of nature or magic, and not even Chester, who is the only one close to such, is weakened, but anyway, I stand next to her and stretch out my hands.

There’s an emptiness that I feel as I hover my hands over her frame. I cannot feel her systems, organs, or tissues. It’s as though she had no fundamental functionality of life, which is the cell, to begin with.

Utterly bewildered, I place my hand on her forehead, and I’m sucked into a different world.

“You can’t kill me. I’m the queen.” Emilie screams as she is dragged into a dark room.

“Of course, not Emilie.” One of the three witches says their faces are covered with hoods.

“Jared! You’re a traitor!” Emilie screams when she sees Jared with the witches.

Wait, he’s the one for real.

“I have bigger plans for that throne, sister. I owe it, not you. I’m sorry, but our father started this error. He should have given me the throne in the first place, not you.”

“No, he sees the monster in you, and that’s why he did not!” Emilie screams as the witches cast some sort of spell. A mirage is formed-another being that looks exactly like Emilie, but it isn’t her.

My breathing is ragged when I come back to reality. Beads of sweat fill my forehead as I freeze in shock.

What could that be? My subconscious asks, but honestly, there’s no answer to that yet.

Jared is a traitor.

Sharply, Emilie’s eyes open, and she utters, “Jared!”

I step back, hitting my body against the cabinet in shock. This isn’t Emilie. This is a mirage, like a clone of her original self. I didn’t see the end of the vision, but I saw someone’s blood spill to the floor right after a feminine scream.

Could Jared have killed the real Emilie, mother to the triplets?

Hastily, I make my way to Chester, unable to keep this truth in. If there’s anyone who can help me share a good insight into this, it is him.

All of a sudden, Jared appears in the same room that I’m about to walk into, and I stop immediately in my tracks. I am quick to hide behind the wall while I watch him walk down the stairs, but that’s not the point. There’s something in the way he walks down the stairs-a familiarity-and I gasp when I realize what my mind was guessing. My face crunches with tears, threatening to fall.

The way he walks down those stairs. “That monster!” I scream mentally and inwardly.

In the next few minutes, I made my way to Chester’s room, and the moment he saw me, he pulled me into a hug, seeing the way my face was squeezed with tears about to shatter me into pieces.

Only I understand my pain.

I sob into his chest for so long that I’m sure he’s also lost count. When I’m a little better, he beckons me to sit with him on the bed and asks, “what happened, Kaya?”

I shake my head, not wanting to believe it. “It’s Jared. I saw the way he walked down the stairs. It was exactly the way that beast of a man walked down the stairs before he kicked me in the stomach enough for me to lose my babies. He was the start of my rage, and I shall be the end of his reign.”

“What are you saying?”

“I’m about to tell you something really crazy, but if you ever want me to come fully to the path of light, then you must believe me and help me find enough evidence to crush this man!” My opened palms fold as though I’m crushing him physically. My eyes narrow as I complete.

“The Emilie we’ve been seeing all these while is a clone made by Jared, and that is not all. He’s also the monster who made me lose my babies. He attacked me and killed the real Emilie.” Now I understand more of why Chester said that after Emilie was captured by the witches, she changed completely and that she would never train the triplets to become the monsters they are now. She was a good soul until Jared cloned her, killed her, and fooled everyone.

There must be more hidden behind this truth. And one question I have in mind is: why exactly did he do all that?
