Fated To Three, Betrayed By All… Until She Rose. - Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Family trip.
Caelum.

It’s been a few days since I last saw Chalice and that was the day she’d been thrown into the holding cells; and now, seeing her walk down the stairs in a beautiful red dress that accentuated her curves and a tiara sitting on top her head that so shiny it rivaled the chandelier above, I couldn’t help but be disgusted.

She looked like a big pile of shit in an expensive dress.

And maybe it was just my annoyance speaking but I felt like she was doing too much to look like Leilani, because tell me why she now had purple contact lenses on to cover her blue eyes?

Tell me why she was dressed elegantly and not in her usual slutty attires.

Tell me why she was glaring at me coldly just like Leilani does, when we all knew she would lose all sense of reasoning as soon as I or one of my brothers took off their clothes?

As if reading my thoughts, Zevran gave her a once over and spat; “Take off those contacts.”

She froze. And I could swear that I saw her jaw drop to the floor before she quickly blinked back the tears in her eyes and cried out; “Zevran, please!”

“I told you last night that henceforth you’re to call me Alpha Zevran, and I’ll respect you by referring to you as Luna Chalice, so tell me, how did you quickly forget about that?”

Her face reddened so much, she almost resembled the color of the dress hugging her body like a second skin and she lowered her lashes, trembling as she shook her head.

A few seconds later, Kael joined us too but as soon as his eyes landed on Leilani 2.0 aka Chalice in purple contact lenses, he froze and frowned.

He wasn’t even looking at her when he said; “Take that shit off.”

And I watched in fascination as tears streamed down her smooth face before she ran up the stairs like the devil was hot on her tail.

When she reemerged moments later, the contact lens was gone, her eyes were puffy and it felt as though most of the courage which she exuded only minutes ago was gone— not like I cared.

I spat; “let’s go.”

Outside the house, a shiny black limousine waited for us, and as soon as the door was opened, Chalice turned to us as if expecting one of us to help her in.

And goddess, at that point, I couldn’t hold back anymore. I began to laugh.

I laughed when Kael simply walked past her and got in, and my laughter increased when Zevran did the same. Her eyes found mine in a pleading manner and for the love of me, I couldn’t bring myself to pity her.

Goddess, how did I even love her for so long?

She pouted in a way that would’ve looked adorable if I didn’t know her so well, and with a shrug, I murmured; “If you cannot help yourself in, then don’t come with us.” And with that, I got in too, found a seat by the window and closed my eyes.

The ride to the airport was going to be a long one so I rested my head on the headrest and didn’t spare Chalice another glance.

I even forgot about her totally until I heard her whimper several minutes into the drive.

My eyes shot open to find her seated at a corner with her arms wrapped around her body and her face so downcast, it almost looked like a mask. And I found that annoying because if anyone saw her right now, they would easily believe that she was innocent. That she was a saint… not the devil in prada that she was.

I snorted.

“When we arrive at our father’s private island, you all should do well to pretend like we’re in a very big happy relationship, or family… or whatever this shit we have going on is. Do you understand me?” Kael said suddenly, and I pried my eyes open again to glare at him before squeezing it shut.

“Okay.”

“And as for you, Chalice, you’re to remain by our side all through our stay there. On no occasion should you wander. Okay?”

She frowned but said nothing, and that made me open my eyes again.

This time, I found Kael glaring at her, his bottom lip curled into a snarl as he spat; “I don’t know if you think I’m being controlling, and while that’s what you deserve, I cannot bother myself with someone like you.”

“Kael…” she cried softly but he continued anyway.

“The only reason I want you with us is because I know just how much a lot of people from the pack hate you right now. So if you want to return to NYC with your head still on your neck, you’ll do well to stick to our side.” He said, and as soon as the words left his lips, Chalice gasped. Her face suddenly turned pale and her lips trembled slightly as she nodded.

“Okay.”

“Good.”

And with that, the car ride descended into an uncomfortable silence, one that was occasionally disturbed by Chalice’s whimpers until I began to develop this strange urge to smack her head against one of the windows.

But I didn’t. I couldn’t. And it took all of me not to do it.

Fucking fake Leilani 2.0 all the way from Temu!

—

When we arrived at the island several hours later, I was already extremely tired, and from the looks on my brothers’ faces, it was obvious that they felt the same way too.

Chalice had long since taken off her tiara and I almost chuckled when I saw the ugly frown stretched across her face. She looked distraught… tired and frustrated; But this was just the beginning of her suffering.

The journey had been a tedious one and as soon as the choppers that had brought us to the island took off, I turned to my brothers and asked; “Are we to trek to the house?”

Kael gave a half smile but said nothing and I instantly knew why because just then, four ATVs began to drive toward us from a distance.

Chalice’s eyes widened in horror when she saw them approaching and with a fearful gaze, she turned to me and asked; “Are those the cars?”

I didn’t respond but Kael did. He didn’t even glance at her as he said; “Yes.”

Zevran, the coldest one amongst us, walked away to get into one of the ATVs, and even though Kael had asked us to pretend to be ‘in love’ with Chalice earlier today, he wasn’t even trying.

It felt as though he didn’t care.

I sighed as I watched him settle into his ATV and I have no idea what he said to his driver because the middle aged man didn’t even bother to wait, he simply drove away, leaving Chalice stunned and red faced.

Only the goddess knows why she still acts shocked when we show her how much we didn’t care anymore, especially Zevran.

I got into the next one and didn’t even need to turn around to know that Kael would do the same. And just as we arrived at our father’s luxurious mansion buried deep in the heart of the island, the first thing I noticed was the small crowd in front.

My eyes widened.

By this time, Zevran had reached there and was patiently waiting for us and I joined him next, greeting and smiling thinly to the guests waiting outside.

However, a few minutes later, another ATV joined us and to my surprise, it held Chalice and Kael. He helped her down like a gentleman and wrapped his arm around her waist, smiling as he said; “Be careful, love.”

My eyes nearly bulged out of its sockets, and I would’ve walked over to smack his head, to probably snap him back to reality, until a young man standing behind mother drawled;

“Wow, I didn’t know that you were all still a happy couple after the stunt that happened on your wedding day.”

I whipped my head in the direction of the voice and frowned when I was met with a face I haven’t seen in my life before. But judging by the man standing beside him with a proud stance, I immediately deduced who he was.

I smiled and spat; “You must be Micah?”

“Aye, I am, cousin. And you must be one of the stupid triplets who married the bitch.”
