[Sahan’s pov]

You might ask me if I am having mood swings or not pertaining to Svetlana. No, I am not. But I also do not know what I feel for her is something serious or what. I have never been the type who would stick to one woman ever. Not that would consider me into a playboy list but what would I do if women are throwing themselves at me? Of course, I would take the bait and drag them to my bed. I would not say women love me for who I am individually but they seek my status, wealth and power.

Being the son of the alpha Zaro and the youngest among the triplets I had many perks. Having a playful personality and possessing the skills of sweet talking it had never been tough for me to get the girls. However, ever since we three met Svetlana she had been rejecting all our charms. We met her a few years ago on her birthday, and flew a few days prior actually. None of us had any intentions of teasing her until one tiny feud got us brothers on her hook.

It was the day that we three began to tease her in whatever ways we could do at that time. Breaking her toys, hiding her shoes, switching her shampoo and whatnot. I always believed that she was acting tough throughout to avoid admitting that she liked me. Everything was going on a lighter note until I got that evil idea. I can still remember that day, on her birthday, a few hours earlier how badly I cut her dress from various places. Why? All because she slapped me when I intended to kiss her on the cheek.

I understood now how wrong I was and what I had done. Ruining her dress for the big day and then Zuhan putting a mini cracker in her birthday cake; we sure made her day a living hell. I can still recall her tears when she glared at me and Zuhan. How proud we were at that moment because we won and she cried in defeat. But the day we all went to pick her up from the airport everything changed. The first time I saw her after all those years, suddenly an influx of emotions surged through me.

Still having no idea what I felt at that moment. But one thing was certain, I felt guilty for all those torments. Suddenly I had sympathy for her when I saw Svetlana and realised how hard it must have been for her. Staying away from her mother all these years and then her father’s death. And now she was forced to live with us as a new family. As much as I wanted to apologise to her for everything, my egocentric nature held me back. Knowing that she was not the innocent and time girl from all those years.

I still remember when she stepped in the car, her scent filled my nostrils like a rose fragrance. I could feel myself being drawn towards her but did not want her to know. It was not only me but my brothers too, we all could feel ourselves being attracted towards her. What was happening to us? Since we all could connect ourselves via mental link, we all knew what was going on in each other’s minds. It was obvious that something was wrong with all of us. That was one hell of a ride back home.

Her meeting with my father and her mother went well. I was happy that she was getting along with her mother even after all those years. However, my worry increased when Zuhan offered to show her the room. It was not that I did not trust my brothers but what our father spoke about all those equal rights stuff; my worry increased. And just as I suspected Raihan had her against the wall when I reached that arcade. Tsk, that asshole brother of mine.

Raihan believes Svetlana came with some agenda, she wants to take revenge by putting us brothers down in our father’s eyes. I mean how is that even possible? And why would she even bother to do that? Planning such a big act would eventually disgrace her in our father’s eyes too. Alpha Zaro deems her as his own daughter and given that he permitted Svetlana equal rights too. I am still sure Raihan is overthinking and in a pure misunderstanding he went ahead to warn Svetlana.

I could see fright in her eyes even though she tried hard to sound convincing. But somehow I could feel her pain and fear, I wanted to help her by butting in the moment. However, no matter what I could not afford to go against my brothers, especially Raihan. He is like a father figure for me and Zuhan, we both trust him more than anyone even though we are triplets. I could not boldly dare to go against him and defend Svetlana.

Raihan had always been calculative and firm on whatever decision he takes. His judgement had never been wrong and somewhere deep down I wanted to admit that he might be wrong for the first time. But bluntly saying that in front of him was equivalent to slapping and insulting him. That’s why I let Raihan do whatever he wished to at that moment. It was not long when Zuhan joined him too, and I was forced to play by the rules. This girl! Svetlana was doing something to me.

When dad told us about the dinner I was hoping to see her in some fancy attire. To my disappointment she was in those same clothes from morning. But what angered me was the scent over her body, I knew who it was and where the scent was coming from. Zuhan! I created a mental link with him and we both talked about it. It relieved me that he did not kiss her rather just wiped her lipstick. But the way he was speaking it was evident that too felt something for Svetlana.

[Zuhan’s pov]

It had been a long time ever since we three had met Lana, she was a child back then whom we all bullied. I was still in that illusion that she might be the same type of kid till now. Timid, plump, scared, crying baby and a softie. Totally aw!

But when I saw her at the airport in front of my eyes, I felt like my heart just stopped. The last time I saw her, she was having a running nose with two braids and in a white frock. Goodness! She wanted to wear that pink one we destroyed.

Lana was a completely new person, for some reason I could not see any resemblance of her past. When she walked up to us I was certain about the strong aura she radiated. As much as I was hesitating to admit, I knew that she was indeed breathtakingly beautiful.

We three are the alpha brothers, known for our looks and reputation. It had never been a surprise for us that women throw themselves at us. But we never took advantage of any such situation, after all we were in the line of being our father’s successor.

However, when I saw Lana closely I could not help but feel being drawn towards her. At first I assumed that only I was the one who felt like that but when Sahan linked us with his mental link; we all were experiencing the same feelings.

Her scent in the car was intoxicating for all of us, we knew that she hadn’t come of the age where she could smell all those emotions. But we all could sense awkwardness from her clearly. It was not a doubt that we all were aroused, but only Sahan accepted it.

Meanwhile, I wanted to spill the beans too but none of us had the audacity to go against Raihan. He was our pillar and our eldest brother and both of us could not dare to do something which was against him. After all, he was first in the line to be the alpha.

When Sahan established that link both of us did not hear Raihan speaking or confessing. That’s why we shifted the topic and ridiculed her cheap perfume. How could we afford to offend him for a mere girl? However, both of us were aware that Lana was affecting us.

I was never the type of person who would get affected by any girl. But there was certainly something different about Lana. It was not that she was some ethereal beauty and every guy would wanna have her. She was pretty no doubt but not someone to that match.

We both could feel that Raihan was skeptical about her, we all were when she accepted the invite to stay with us without any drama. The Svetlana we knew back then would definitely refuse to accept it. I mean why would she intentionally want to get bullied by us?

When dad gave her permission and assured Lana that she had equal rights as us, the news gave rise to numerous fears in us. We knew that our father was not the type of person who would discriminate between us all. It simply meant that our position as alpha got more competent.

I was certain that by now Raihan’s fears had increased and his hate towards Lana doubled too. According to him she came there to take her revenge from us and snatch the position of alpha from all three of us. Sahan and I did not believe that she could stoop that low.

We all were still in the midst of figuring out what her plan was when dad proposed the dinner plan. We were sent to call her but Raihan did not show any interest while Sahan wanted to avoid her. Leaving no choice I had to do the deed unwillingly.

It was the moment of affection when I heard Lana saying ‘coming’ in a muffled voice. Certainly it was not something sensual but I could not help and imagine how her moans would sound with my cock in her mouth. I was surprised with how much she had been affecting us.

Nonetheless, when Lana walked out of the room I was expecting to see her in some sexy dress or something. To my dismay she was still dressed in those rags but I had found my way to touch her. Of course, that tiny smear of lipstick was enough of an excuse.

My eyes were staring at her lips lustfully as I wanted to smooch them. Why was I being drawn towards her like crazy? Maybe it was her scent as Raihan said. It was not a mystery to us anymore because when she sat with us in the car, all of us could feel a boner rising in our pants.

What the heck was wrong with us? Or maybe she had used some mojo on three of us which could be true. However, somewhere deep down it made sense because all of us were being affected. Was it even possible? Perhaps Raihan was right but Lana did not seem that type of girl. Or perhaps she always was and I was oblivious of whatever Raihan had been saying. But if that was the case then why would dad bring her home? Right? He would not do such a thing to his own sons.

[Raihan’s pov]

Fucking hell! How could my brothers be so blind and dumb? Both of them saw a mere girl and got smitten by her just like that. The offensive point was the type of girl they fell for. Svetlana, our step sister who does not even know how to talk, dress up and follow etiquettes.

How could they fall for someone like her? Both of my brothers had lost their minds perhaps. Why were they not seeing what was in front of my eyes? I admit that she had some kind of magical effect on all of us but it does not mean that we should turn blind to everything.

When we picked her up from the airport I could see both of them being friendly to her. Fucking hell! They had their teeth out to greet her, both of them totally forgot that she was the same person who snitched on us. She was the one who told dad about those stolen candies and cookies.

I knew they both were drawn towards her, even I was too for some reason but forgetting everything was not a chance. For a fact I was sure that she had used some kind of charm, spell or any mojo to bewitch us all. It was not possible for the three of us to feel the same way about her.

That cunning woman! I was sure that she also gave something to our dad too. Why else would he give her equal rights as us? Not to forget he even told us to protect her as if she was a little kid. It’s us who need to remain wary of her and the tricks she has been playing on us.

I was certain and still am that she wanted to snatch the alpha position to bring us brothers down. The way she had been seducing us with her scent was enough to drive us all crazy. I know what her plan is but there is no way she will succeed in that heinous act.

There was not a chance I was giving into her seduction at all. I am sure she used some kind of potion to lure us all so she could have an upper hand with us. And I could not let my brother drool over her like mindless simps. That is what she wants!

I knew my brothers and was well aware how far they could go. Both of them would not dare to act against me which was why I did not react when Sahan linked us all in his head. However, Lana seemed to be hellbent on staying and I had to scare her away.

When both of them took her to show the room it was my chance to intimidate and scare her. And I succeeded in my stance when I saw fear crawling in her eyes. But for some odd reason something in me felt guilty. I was sure it was the effect of that magical charm she used.

There was a limit to how much we could force and scare her because dad was already supporting Lana as his own daughter. Even though she had no blood relationship with us, brothers. That was why Sahan and Zuhan were having lewd thoughts about her.

However, I knew what she was trying to do and how Lana was executing her plans. But there was no way she could lure me into her trap. I could see the distaste on her face when I avoided talking to her at the airport. Yes, perfect first hit!

In the arcade it became easier for me to threaten her to leave the pack faster. I was sure that she would comply soon after her 18th birthday. After all, if the event of her disastrous birthday was fresh in her mind then she would leave immediately.

Everything was going according to my plan when dad proposed that dinner. Unlike Sahan and Zuhan, I had no interest in seeing her whatsoever. Not that she was not pretty but to me I was under the influence of that same spell as my brothers.

I was certain that if I would look at any other woman then the charm would wear out. That was why I invited Joselyn to the dinner, knowing she would be happy to accompany me. Not that I cared about her happiness at all because I was tied to her due to the child.

The child. Yes. All I knew was being with her in an event talking and spending some time. The next day I woke up with her in a hotel room and just after three months Joselyn popped up at my door. I wanted to deny that pregnancy report but was also aware of my pack’s repute.

Unwillingly, I had to accept her as my partner when the DNA results were a 100% match. I was certain about my theory regarding Svetlana but when she sat opposite to me, I could not help but occasionally stare at her. Something was definitely wrong with her.

When Joselyn asked Lana to accompany her to the bathroom I waited for a drama. Knowing that she might have sensed my attraction towards Lana, she would definitely take some action. I was expecting that Joselyn might find out some useful information from her.

To my dismay nothing such happened when I saw Joselyn coming back with a smile. My eyes waited for Svetlana who appeared after a few minutes. However, she looked confused rather than scared which enhanced my worry as to what had just happened.
