CHAPTER 64: 64: CRUELTY?

Sue

I stared between the two sets of triplets, each set looking as fierce as the other, and neither looked like they were gonna be the first to back down. I cleared my throat and that was what made them finally stop glaring at each other to focus on me.

"No one might have noticed yet, but I’m not an object." I breathed out while staring between them. It was silent right after I spoke, till Damon snorted.

Fucking Damon... if I get my hands on his throat right now.

"Of course, Sue. You’re not an object, you’re our slave." Angelo spoke this time, his voice calm and his glaring expression gone.

That response made me more annoyed than I presently feel.

The one standing in the middle of the new set of triplets let out a laugh as he stepped towards me.

"Our mate is not a freaking slave. If you reject her right now, she’ll come with us where she’ll be treated like s normal person and not a fucking slave." He bit out, sounding quite angry.

"Well, we’ll not be doing that." Angelo snapped out before pointing towards me. "She’ll stay here with us till whenever we decide."

"So, basically you’re agreeing that you want us to all fight for our mate, is that it?" The one standing on the right side of my new set of mates spoke this time, as he folded his hands.

Landon was the one who spoke this time. "No fighting. We’ll not be doing something as barbaric as that."

"So what do you suggest we do then? Cause we’re not leaving without her." The one in the middle of my new set of mates spoke.

It was still rubbing me off the wrong way that no one was bothering to ask me what I want in this whole situation, these six men were alike in one way even though they might choose to deny that.

"No fighting. We’ll settle this like adults, and we’ll come to a decision soon. Which is why you’ll have to spend the next few days here while we come to a conclusion." Angelo was the one who spoke this time, his voice firm as it filled the room.

"So, we’re to stay till when? And what’s gonna come out of this?" The one standing on the left side of my new set of mates spoke, and Damon scoffed this time.

"Didn’t you just hear him? We’ll just come to a conclusion in the next coming days." He snapped and after that, silence stretched out between us, till the one standing in the middle of my new set of mates finally gave a tense nod, then he took one step back.

"Alright then." He muttered, then they all turned to leave.

"We’ll return back to your wedding." The one standing on the left drawled, putting emphasis on the word ’wedding’.

Damon took a step forward but Angelo held him back, and they all finally filled out, leaving me behind with these cruel princes, when it was the last thing I wanted right now.

If I hadn’t gotten a new set of mates, perhaps I might have already successfully escaped this wretched pack.

Although realistic speaking, since I have nowhere else to go, I might be better off staying here than running. However, it just hurts being treated like this, which is why running seemed way more appealing. Although now that I now have a new set of mates, perhaps if they succeed in taking me along with them, they might treat me way better than there princes, and they even seem like they actually want to be with me...

"You’re overjoyed from happiness, aren’t you?" Damon’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I blinked up at him, staring at his scowling face. When I frowned at him, he continued.

"Now that you have a new set of mates, you’re definitely already imagining leaving here with them, am I wrong?" He continued and I scoffed while squaring my jaw as I folded my arms.

"Of course I am! Clearly, they’ll treat me way better than you three. They’ll not make me into a slave, they’ll treat me like I actually deserve." I informed him and he scoffed, and when I glanced over at Angelo and Landon, they had matching scowls on.

"You don’t even know them, so you have no guarantee that they’ll treat you right." Landon snapped out, irritation clear in his voice but I rolled my eyes this time.

"I don’t think I need to know them. Anyone would be better than you three at this point." I snapped, but even I know that this time I was just saying this to get them annoyed, and it worked cause their scowls darkened.

"Watch your mouths around us, you’re our slave, remember?"

I rolled my eyes again. "Only for a few more days, then I’ll leave this wretched pack with my new mates!"

"Shut up," Angelo growled but I ignored him, knowing that I was digging my own grave right now.

"No, I won’t. What else can you do to me at this point? You’ve turned me into a slave, this is the lowest punishment you can give me, any other thing you chose to do to me won’t faze me, cause to me, I’ve already seen the worst you can get." I bit out, my chest heaving from how hard I was breathing.

The triplets were all silent after that, till Landon sighed, his hand getting dragged over his face before he spoke.

"You don’t know anything, Sue."

"And I don’t want to know anything anymore! In a few days, I’ll leave with my new mates, and I won’t have to see you three ever again. I can’t wait to stop serving you, I can’t wait to stop being around you three and being forced to breathe in your horrible scents..." I was still speaking, so lost in my anger that I didn’t see Landon approaching till I was shoved against the wall behind me and a hand was gripping my throat, the other hand settling on the spot behind my head, and I glanced up to stare into the eyes of Landon as the rest of the words died on my tongue.

"Shut. Up," he gritted out, his hand around my throat tightening a little. The gtip wasn’t tight enough to cut off my airway, but it sure made my heartbeat accelerate even more, while my stomach clenched tightly as I blinked up at him.

I didn’t even remember what it was that I was saying before, and I swallowed again, then my eyes were fluttering and a choked sound spilled past my lips as soon as his other hand was tangling in my hair and wrenching my head back, roughly exposing my throat to his darkened sight.

I was breathing hard, my breath sounding very labored even to my own ears. My skin suddenly felt tight and hot, and my stomach clenched tightly again, just as he began to speak.

"See this now? You look like a fucking slut." He drawled, and shock embraced and engulfed me all over, making my mouth fall open as I gasped in shock just as my entire body trembled for some weird reason.

I want to shove him away right now, and slap him hard across the face for daring to speak to me like this, but my hands felt like jelly right now.

"If I chose to mark you right now, you’ll be bonded to us... then your new set of mates would have no choice but leave here without a mate. I can bite into your pretty throat right now, and my brothers would do the same as well, then you’ll be bonded to the three of us. Tell me, stunning, you want us to get to this level of cruelty with you? Cause you keep trying to force me to show my hand..." as he kept speaking, the irritation and anger that shrugged through me and I was so annoyed and also feeling extremely insulted right now.

He didn’t finish his sentence, and as soon as his hold on me loosened, I shoved at his chest but he didn’t budge. He reached for me chin, but I slapped his hand off, which prompted him to grab my hand and hold it high above my head, leaving me to gape at him in utter anger and bewilderment. I tried throwing a punch at him with my other hand, which he captured and pinned above my head, then he grinned down at me before transferring my hand into one of his hands.

"See how easy it is to immobilize you?" He crooned and I tried to kick him between the legs, but he easily dodged that again, further making me angrier. As I glared at him right now, I wished that I had a chance to strangle him right now.

"This is just a reminder to always watch your mouth around us, and refrain from speaking about your fuckass new set of mates in our presence, cause if pushed, we’ll mark you against your will. You’ll hate us even more but that’s already a norm for us, so we don’t give two fucks."

I spat at his face this time.

"Fuck you!"
