Alpha Theo's POV
“This can't be happening,” I grunted as I continued pacing around the room, while Leo just stood at the window, lost in thought. “Claim her, she's our mate,” Douglas growled in my head, causing me to grit my teeth with anger. The thought of her being our mate was something I couldn't take. How could my younger brother's fiancée be our mate?“This is bad,” Leo murmured, and that made me move my attention towards him. He turned around and then he held my gaze with a worried and frustrated look on his face. We both stared at each other, but neither of us could say a word because we were so speechless. Leo left the window, and then he sat on the bed with a frustrated sigh. “What do we do?” He asked. “Claim her,” my wolf responded, and I sighed. “I don't know; we can't keep it a secret, Leo. She is our mate, and we can't let her end up with him,” I argued. But Leo was silent; he was probably thinking something, and I needed to know what he was thinking.“I think we should just go downstairs and tell everyone,” I suggested, but Leo shook his head with a sigh. “Think of Austin; you know what will happen if he gets to know this,” Leo said, and I frowned. “But…” I tried to speak, but he cut me off. “Don't be ridiculous, Theo; you know what will happen to Austin if he finds out about it. He loves that girl so much…”“But she is our mate,” I argued, and he groaned and then shook his head.I watched him pace around for a while before he stood before me and sighed. “You know of Austin's condition; you know what will happen to him,” Leo said, and that got me flared. “I know of his condition, Leo, but what about us? Are we going to just keep quiet, Leo? She is our mate, for goodness' sake,” I said, hoping he would see reasons with me, but the look on his face showed that he wasn't on the same page with me.“Let's calm down and think this through,” Leo suggested, but my wolf growled against it. “Don't listen to him,” my wolf growled, and I sighed.I walked back to the bed and took a seat, while Leo went back to the window and stood behind it. An awkward silence filled the room as we both remained silent until Leo finally spoke. “We should wait and see if she will tell everyone herself,” Leo suggested. But I scoffed. “What if she is in love with Austin? Do you think she would want to break his heart by telling him that she is the mate of his elder brothers?” I said, and Leo sighed.“But…” His words were cut off when a knock came on the door.“Who is it?” I asked. “My lords, the table is set, and your parents ask for your presence,” a male servant spoke from the door. “You can leave.”I turned to Leo, who looked back at me but didn't say a word. “What do you say, should we say it?” I asked, but he shook his head without giving it a second thought, and that got me upset, and I had to flare up. “Do you understand that this girl is our mate? She is no ordinary girl but our mate. Do you know what that means? Who knows if they have had sex. Damn it, I can't imagine that my mate is involved with my younger brother,” I grunted and clenched both my fists. A wave of jealousy washed over me.I looked at Leo, who was so quiet, and that got me more frustrated. I hated the way he was so calm in a situation like this. “Leo, say something; you can't just stand there and say nothing,” I complained.He sucked in a deep breath and then looked my way. “Let's go downstairs; they are waiting for us,” he spoke nonchalantly, and that made me grit my teeth. “You can't be serious,” I spat, but he didn't say a word; instead, he just teleported from my presence. “Damn you,” I grunted, and then teleported.I arrived in the dining room and met everyone at the table, including her. She was seated beside Austin, and the moment I arrived, she looked at me but instantly looked away. “Have your seat,” Leo spoke to me through the mind link because I was taking too long to take my seat.“Claim her; she is ours,” my wolf urged me, but I ignored him and went for my seat, which was at the end of the table, opposite Leo’s.I settled down and moved my gaze around the table, and my eyes met with those of my fathers. “Are you okay?” Father Darwin asked, and I nodded, but he didn't seem satisfied with my words. I saw him move his gaze to Leo, and then he asked Leo the same question, to which Leo gave him the same response.“Let's eat, and after that, we can talk,” Mother said, and everyone agreed with her words.Everyone's plates were filled with food, and we started eating, but I was forcing the food down my throat. My eyes interlocked with Leo’s, who was obviously forcing the food down his throat as he also didn't have an appetite to eat.“We have to say it,” I told him through the mind link, but he didn't say a word; instead, he looked in the direction where she was seated. I also shifted my gaze to her and saw that she was comfortably eating her food. Unlike us, she didn't seem bothered by what was happening, which got me confused about whether she actually knows that we are mates.I looked at Leo, who, by his expression, I could tell he was also having the same thought as me. He didn't say a word about it; instead, he looked away and went back to his food.“Don't tell me you will sit there and do nothing, Theo. For goodness' sake, she is our mate. Say it to everyone and announce it to everyone,” my wolf howled in my head, which forced me to drop my cutlery heavily on the plate, gaining the attention of everyone.I looked at my fathers and then at Mother before looking at Leo, who shook his head at me, signaling me not to say a word.I ignored his warnings and fixed my gaze on her. Our gazes met, but then she quickly looked away. “Say it,” my wolf urged."I have something to say!” Olivia and I blurted those words together.Olivia's POVI was right when I suspected one of the alphas was about to say something, and I knew it would be a disaster if I let him do it. This was a plan I had made for years, and I wouldn't let anything prevent me from achieving my goal.“Let her speak,” the other alpha with green eyes spoke, and I faked a smile before clearing my throat. Actually, I had nothing to say, but I knew I had to come up with something.“Umm, I just want to thank everyone here at the table. It's a privilege to be seated with the famous Luciano family, and I'm also grateful for your warm welcome. Thank you very much,” I said and looked at one of the twins, who didn't seem pleased by my words. Obviously, he thought I was going to announce that I was their mate. Only if he knows what I have in store for them.“What do you think you are doing?” My wolf, Lolita, growled, but I paid no attention to her.“My dear, we are so happy to finally meet you. Austin has said so much about you. He has told us how much h
Alpha Leo’s POVI could see the dumbfounded look on her face as she saw Theodore and me in her room. She moved her gaze to Theo and then moved it back to me and gulped. Slowly, she got up on her feet and bowed her head at us. “Greetings, how can I help you, Alphas?” she spoke slowly, and I could swear she had the nicest voice I have ever heard. Or was it the mate bond doing its work?“Claim her, she is ours.” Max howled in my head, but I kept him at bay and looked at Theo, whose eyes hadn't left her.“I believe you are aware that we are your mates,” Theo spoke assertively, and I sighed, then looked at her. She seemed to be confused by Theo's words, which got my attention.“Sorry, Alpha, I don't know what you mean. What do you mean by me being your mate?” She asked, sounding ignorant, and I raised a brow at her.“Don't tell me you don't know that we are your mates,” I asked, and she seemed confused by my words. “I'm sorry; I think there is a mistake…” Before she could finish, Theo cut
Olivia's POVIt's past 1 am, and I couldn't sleep. I felt suffocated in my room, coupled with the fact that my wolf had been fighting with me. Due to the severe headache I had, I decided to go downstairs and get some water. I left my room and took the stairs to the living room. When I arrived there, I saw a few guards positioned at each end of the living room. I ignored them and made my way to the kitchen. When I arrived in the kitchen, I took out a bottle of water, and then I felt someone behind me. I turned and saw that it was Lady Catherine.She was dressed in her nightwear, and it seems, just like me, she came for water. “You couldn't sleep,” she asked, and I nodded while boiling with anger. “I also can't sleep, and there is no water in the fridge up in my room. It seems the servants forgot to fill up the fridge,” she said, and I hummed and watched her go over to the fridge.As she turned her back to me, I wished I could bring out my fangs and claws and kill her right at that mom
Alpha Theo’s POVWith gritted teeth and clenched fists, I watched her kiss Austin right before me. Unable to withstand it, I took a step towards them, but Leo held my arm and shook his head. “Take a grip of yourself,” he said, and I groaned. “Claim her; she is ours,” Douglas howled possessively in my head, urging me to take Olivia away from Austin, but Leo was stopping me. With burning rage, I watched them kiss. After a moment, they pulled away, and Olivia smirked at me, making me grit my teeth.“Brothers, you are here,” Austin said as he approached, his hand wrapped around Olivia's waist. “The house is full; it's just for mother and fathers to join us,” Austin said with laughter. Neither Leo nor I smiled, except Olivia. “So, what are you working on, baby?” he said to Olivia, who smiled at him.“I have to leave; I just got a signal,” I said. “Me too,” Leo lied. Austin looked at us with worry. “Is everything okay?” he asked, and Leo responded because I wasn't going to give a response.
Olivia's POVI couldn't wipe the smirk off my face as I stared at Alpha Leo and Theo, who seemed stunned by the announcement. Holding Alpha Theo's gaze, I could see he was fuming with anger, but I knew he wouldn't say a word; they were all scared of Austin's condition.“Really, that is great news. Congratulations,” Lady Catherine beamed at me. “Then we have to prepare for the wedding. Don't worry; I will get the best wedding planner in town,” she said, and I forced out a smile. If only she knew there wouldn't be any wedding because she wouldn't be alive to see it.“Are you sure about this, Austin? Marriage isn't something you should rush into,” one of their dads spoke, and I met his gaze. As we held each other's gaze, I sensed something suspicious, but I smiled and looked away. It was evident he didn't like me or was suspicious about something.“Yes, Father, we are sure about it, right, Olivia?” Austin asked, and I hummed before smiling at him. “We have thought it through,” I said whi
Olivia’s POV At first, Austin seemed surprised and confused by what he saw, and immediately I released myself from Leo’s grip. I gulped. “Austin,” I called out, but he didn’t look at me. Instead, he looked at Leo and said, “Why are you bothering her? You could have just come to me.”I was confused by his words. “Do you want to scare her away into marrying me?” He questioned Leo, and I became more confused.I looked at Alpha Leo, who didn’t seem bothered by the situation. I wasn’t scared of Austin finding out; all I was worried about was my plan being stopped. “I know why you are here, brother. You are here to threaten Olivia to leave me just because we aren’t mates,” Austin said, and I looked at him.“If you have a problem, come to me and leave Olivia out of this. It’s our decision to be together, so why can’t you all just accept it?” Austin said in an angry tone, and I took a deep breath in relief. It was relieving to know that he thought Alpha Leo was here to threaten me.“If you al
Olivia’s POVWhat I did, I did on impulse, but I did not regret it and didn’t care about what would happen. With hate and disgust, I held his gaze and could see that he was burning with anger. His jaws were clenched, and his eyes held a daggering glare at me.“Take a grip of yourself,” Alpha Leo pleaded with him, and then he looked at me. “I will take you to the party before anyone suspects a thing.” He didn’t allow me to say a word before he held my hand and teleported me away.Like a blink of an eye, we arrived inside a massive building. The men who were guarding the building bowed their heads to Alpha Leo the moment they saw us. Alpha Leo, ignoring their greetings, looked at me, and I stared back at him. I could see that he had a lot to say to me, but he was quite different from Alpha Theo. Just a few days of knowing them, and I can tell two differences about them. Alpha Leo was slow to act, while Theo acted rationally. Alpha Leo doesn’t speak much; he can conceal a secret, but The
Alpha Leo's POVThe hall was a bit noisy, so I went out to receive a call and decided to go to the garden. But, when I got there, I was dumbfounded to see Olivia in the arms of Jaycee.“Mine!” My wolf howled possessively, and out of impulse, I rushed to them, pulling Olivia out of his arms. When she turned and saw that it was me, I could see how shocked and confused she was, causing my anger to boil.“What is the meaning of this?” I spoke through gritted teeth while holding her gaze. All she did was shrug and look at Lycan Jaycee before looking back at me. “Why don't you ask him? I believe he would be in the right position to tell you.” She smirked at me and then walked away, leaving me with Jaycee.With clenched jaws, I looked at Jaycee, who had a nonchalant look on his face. An angry grunt left my lips as I tried to suppress my emotions. “What do you think you are doing?” I asked with burning rage, but he only smirked and moved closer to me.Our eyes interlocked, and he grinned. “Do
