Entangled With My Alpha Triplets

Twenty

~Hazel~

As I pushed open the door to the dormitory, my thoughts were still tangled from what Zane had told me.

Asher chose me as his Luna? The words didn't stop echoing in my head, but they also didn't make any sense. I had never imagined myself as anyone's Luna, let alone his. The idea felt foreign, like a coat that didn't fit right. If that was true, why had Asher avoided me so much? Why did he never treat me with anything more than indifference, or worse, disdain?

I shook my head, trying to clear it as I stepped inside. The familiar scent of the dorm hit me, clean linen mixed with something earthy and musky, like damp wood. I wasn't ready to face anyone, let alone Asher, but I needed to pull myself together. Whatever this errand was that I had to accompany him on, I'd get through it, and then I'd figure everything out. One step at a time.

But nothing could have prepared me for what I saw when I walked in.

There, on his bed, was Asher. His hot frame leaned back against the headboard, eyes half-focused on the movie playing on the screen in front of him. Tiara was sitting beside him, her hand casually wrapped around him, giving him a handjob like she had been dying to be his rebound since his breakup with Trisha.

My breath hitched in my throat, and for a moment, I just froze. First, it was Zane and now him but they expected me to believe that they wanted to claim me?

Jokers.

They weren't paying much attention to the movie, but the casualness of it, like they did this all the time, made me feel like I was intruding on something... personal. I couldn't just lurk around and watch another girl please Asher better than I could ever do.

But then, Asher's eyes flicked up as if he had caught my scent. For just a second, we made eye contact. His gaze was pretty icy, but there was something in it that made my stomach twist. I felt like I was being studied, like he was making a bet on how I would react, waiting for me to state my territory or remember my place as his omega.

Tiara didn't even look at me. She just kept going, like I didn't exist, like none of this mattered. And maybe to them, it didn't.

"Asher,"

"It's Alpha Asher now." He corrected me.

"I'm sorry, Alpha. I just wanted to ask what's your schedule for today going to look like?"

Perhaps, he needed me to do one of his assignments again or his laundry or probably, help him finish because he didn't see to be enjoying any bit of that handjob.

He glanced back at the screen for a second before answering. "You're coming with me for the next three days. As the crowned alpha, I'm supposed to be at the annual Alpha meeting with the Alpha King with my omega."

Omega...he was yet to acknowledge me as his Luna like Zane stated.

The tension in the air built and I wasn't sure if it was because of his words or the fact that we were all pretending this situation was normal.

I blinked, trying to focus on what he was saying and not the scene in front of me. "What? Why me? I thought Trisha is supposed to accompany you."

Pushing his buttons? I wouldn't advise my worst enemy to do so but here I was, wanting to hear from the alpha's mouth.

Asher shrugged, his eyes still on the movie. "Trisha isn't competent enough to be there with me and I need someone who can help around, not a slut to warm my bed. You're to accompany me whether you like it or not so no excuses."

Before I could respond, the door opened again, and Trisha stormed in with a few of the others. The moment they saw me, their eyes narrowed. It wasn't hard to guess why.

Trisha crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes flicking between Asher, Tiaran and me. "First, you reject me because of this thing and the other minute, you're in bed with my best friend?!"

"Is every girl you sleep around with?!" She shouted but never moved an inch to attack as she knew the consequences.

Asher smirked and caressed Tiara's body with lust in his eyes to spite Trisha, "No but let me remind you of the night we met..."

"You were so comfortable having a threesome with me and if I remember clearly, Tiara was your sex toy for the night so why are you getting so worked up?"

"I don't care! It's not enough reason to go behind my back and do this to me! For goodness sake, I love you, Asher. Why do you keep doing this to me?" Her voice broke, almost close to tears.

Asher sighed and instructed Tiara to stop, "Since you want to say it in front of these people, I'll do so. I don't and never loved you, Trisha, so stop pestering me."

Before she got the second to protest, Asher turned his gaze to me, "Start packing. I want this academy as soon as possible since someone here has chosen to be unbearable." He threw side glances at Trisha before dismissing them out of the dorm.

Trisha marched out in shame, promising to deal with Tiara when Asher leaves for the trip but Tiara only waved it off as a mere threat before following Asher into the bathroom to finish off whatever nasty game they started.

At least, she knows that I was never the problem to begin with. Asher was just a loose dog who needed to be chained. Would I be the dog's keeper? That I cannot say for now.

All I could imagine was what the next three days would be like. Three nights. Alone with Asher. It would be torture, because even though a part of him wanted me as much as I wanted him. He was still disgusted by my presence.

As I walked over  to my bed to pack, my legs felt shaky. I couldn't let this get to me. Not again. Last night was a mistake, one I couldn't afford to repeat. Whatever happened during these three days, I had to keep my distance.
