Owned By Her Triplet Bullies
Chapter 21

Emma's POV

I woke up from my bed, hoping everything that happened last night was just a bad dream. It's a dream, right? I'm going to wake up from bed, pack my things and leave the pack house as planned for my happily ever after. I walked to the bathroom and stared at my

face in the mirror. My eyes were puffy and swollen from crying.

Who am I kidding? This is not a dream. This is my reality now. I'm really mated and stuck with the triplet's harsh bullying forever. I burst into tears again. I don't how many hours I sat in the bathroom crying my eyes out, but by the time I stopped, my eyes hurt, my voice was hoarse, and I was beginning to have a headache.

I managed to take my bath absent-mindedly. Today is a Sunday so I'm delighted I don't have to worry about school right now. I got dressed and walked out of my room.

I was surprised when I met the dishes washed and neatly arranged. The laundry had been done, and the pack house was shining brightly without a speck of dust.

"Good to know you woke up early and did your chores, fat pig," I heard Hailey's voice say.

Me? But I was not the one who did all this.

"What are you standing there dumbly for? Go get my breakfast," she yelled.

I quickly rushed towards the kitchen when someone's voice stopped me in my tracks.

"She won't be making breakfast anymore," I heard Julian's voice say.

"What do you mean by that?" Hailey asked, surprise evident in her voice.

"Exactly what you heard. Emma won't be making breakfast or doing any chores in this house ever again," Philip said firmly. "What? Why?" Hailey screeched.

"Because it's our house, and we make the rules, if you want breakfast, go make it yourself," Alexander said coldly.

Hailey's eyes widened in shock that I thought they might pop out of their socket. I was also very surprised that they said that. They suddenly walked towards me.

"Good morning Emma," Julian said, smiling sweetly. Julian? Sweet? Julian and Sweet definitely didn't fit in the same sentence. "Have you had breakfast? No right? I will go and prepare something really fast for you," Alexander said, smiling widely, his deep dimples vivid. Alexander? Prepare food for me? I'm I on another planet? I thought, looking at them in doubt.

“Come on, have a seat and have some fruits first," Philip said, gently, leading me to the dining table and handing me some apples. I hesitantly took the apples, but I didn't eat them. Hailey looked at the triplets like they were aliens. Her jaw dropped in shock, wondering what was going on, but I knew.

They were doing all this because I was their mate, but I doubt if they are sincere. I'm sure they are doing this to get me to trust and accept them, and after that, they will humiliate me and break my heart like they always do.

Alexander hurried over with the food. He placed it gently in front of me with a glass of juice. They all sat in front of me with anticipation.

"Try it and tell me what you think?" Alexander said, smiling tenderly at me.

"Boys! What the hell is going on here?" Hailey screamed.

"Not now Hailey," Alexander said coldly, shutting her up. "Come on," he urged me.

I picked up the spoon and stared at the food in doubt. What if he poisoned the food? That thought alone made me lose my appetite completely.

"I'm not hungry," I said, dropping the spoon and pushing the plate away.

"Oh okay then," Alexander said disappointed.

I looked at the three of them skeptically, they looked... disappointed? Looks can be deceiving. I won't get fooled this time. They already did this before, and now I won't fall into their trap anymore. I stood up and headed towards the door. "Are you going somewhere? We can drop you off. I will just get my....,"

"Thank you, but I can walk," I cut Julian off and walked away. I breathed a sigh of relief when I got outside. I was really starting to get uncomfortable with their weird behavior. I headed straight to John's house. I needed someone to talk to badly, or I might go crazy from what is happening.

I knocked on John's door, and immediately he opened the door and I saw his face, I burst into tears again. He pulled me inside, and I hugged him tightly, crying my eyes out while he tried his best to console me. After a while, I stopped crying.

"I'm sorry I ruined your shirt," I apologized, staring at the wet patch of tears on his shirt.

"It's fine, come on, let's go out. My grandma is taking a nap," he said.

I nodded and followed him to our usual hangout spot.

"So what are you going to do now?" John asked as soon as we had our seats.

"Honestly, I don't know. I had thought I would be out of this town by this time," I said sadly.

"I understand, it has always been your dream," he mutters.

"What about the triplets, are they still acting weird," he asked.

"Yes, it's creeping me out, I'm so nervous because I don't know what they are planning for me this time," I replied anxiously.

"But you refused and rejected them as your mates, right?" he said.

"That's right, and I was expecting them to beat me up immediately after I returned home yesterday, but they did the opposite, they prepared breakfast for me this morning. I didn't even do any chores today, they yelled and ignored Hailey for me," I said, a shiver going down my spine.

"That's odd," he muttered.

"I know right? They've been so sweet and kind to me, which is totally unlike them, but I won't believe a word that comes out of their mouth, all they ever spew are lies," I said determined. "You should be careful," he said, concerned.

"I know, I've learned my lesson. I won't let what happened during prom repeat itself, for all I know, this is also all Hailey's plan. I won't get humiliated and heartbroken again," I promised. "That's good to hear," John said, clearly relieved.

"You haven't eaten this morning, right?" he asked.

I shook my head. "I haven't Alexander made breakfast for me but for all, I know he could have poisoned it, so I didn't let my guard down. I didn't it," I said.

He nodded and called the waiter over.

"The usual?" the waiter asked.

"No, we can't have ice cream this early. Get us two sandwiches, coffee for me and tea for her," he said.

"Cool?" he asked, looking at me.

"Anything you order is fine," I replied.

The waiter went to get our food, and we sat eating our food in peace.

"Well, well, well, who do we have here?" John's ex-girlfriend said, walking to our table. How did she find this place now?

"Enjoying your date with this pig, huh, John?" she spat, glaring at me viciously. John rolled his eyes at her and sipped his coffee. She must really hate me. She thinks John left her to be with me. We both ignore her. "How dare you ignore me?" she yelled, pushing my cup of tea from my hands. It spilled on me and the glass shattered on the ground.

"Girls get her," she ordered, and her friends all surrounded me and dragged me from my chair to the floor. Some were taking videos with their phones while others minded their business, not daring to interfere. She spilled her melted ice cream all over me, from my hair to my clothes. They all threw their food at me, calling me names.

"Fat pig"

"Dirty witch"

"Dirty rag"

They continued hurling abuses and laughing loudly. I suddenly saw Julian's car parked outside through the transparent glass. They all stepped out together with Hailey. Can this get any worse? I thought hopelessly. They all came in, and my eyes met with the triplets. They took in my appearance and something flashed before their eyes... anger?

"Stop it right now!" Julian yelled, and they all stopped throwing food at me.

Why were they stopping them? Aren't they supposed to join them? Or are they trying to bully all by themselves with nobody to interfere?

"What are you doing, Julian?" Hailey asked the smile previously on her face gone.

But he ignored her, and they all walked toward me. Julian helped me up.

"Are you okay?" he asked worriedly as Philip wiped the ice cream from my face and hair.

"Who dared to touch her?" Alexander asked slowly and coldly sending shivers down everyone's spine.

"I said who dared to touch her or have you all gone deaf?" he said threateningly.

"W..why are you angry Alexander? I thought this is what you always wanted," John's ex-girlfriend stuttered, and the glare Alexander gave her made her pale in fear.

"You dared to touch what's ours?" he asked.

"Y..yours how?" she asked to stutter.

Everyone became awfully quiet as they held their breaths anticipating what Alexander had to say.
