Fated to the Alpha–And His Triplet Brothers novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272: Run away.

*~Aurora’s POV~*

I walked down the staircase with the Luna clinging tightly to my arm, our fingers intertwined like lovers. Wolves turned to stare—some curious, some confused, some downright shocked. I tried to look calm, but her grip on me only tightened, making my skin crawl.

We reached the ballroom—bright lights, music, silk gowns, spinning bodies. The Luna leaned close.

"Tell me, Eric... have you ever danced with a lady before?"

"D-d-dance?" I stammered.

She giggled. "Oh yes, Eric. Dance. Have you ever danced at all?" She brushed a hand over my shoulder. "Aren’t you just the cutest little inexperienced man?"

My stomach twisted painfully. I didn’t even know what she meant by half the things she said.

"But don’t worry," she purred, "I’ll teach you. Dancing isn’t something you learn—it comes from your heart."

Her fingers trailed down my chest.

Straight over my breastplate.

Her hand paused.

She pressed harder. "Why is your chest so hard? It feels like iron."

I forced a laugh. "Isn’t every man’s chest like that?"

"Oh?" She rubbed the metal again slowly. "Strange. Very strange..."

Panic stabbed through me. I needed to get away. I needed distance before she ripped the plates off and exposed me.

"M-mom," I blurted, "are you sure the Alpha won’t be angry about... us being so close?"

"My husband?" She gave an amused snort. "Oh, darling. The Alpha has nothing to do with this. Look—he’s busy with one of his many mistresses."

She pointed toward him.

And there he was—laughing, drinking, two women draped over him.

My eyes drifted—and landed on Leon.

My Leon.

He stood beside the Alpha, arms crossed with the king’s arm slung over his shoulder, talking to several she-wolves who were practically falling over him. My fingers curled into fists.

"See?" the Luna said. "Even your friend is enjoying himself with other women. The Alpha must like him... the same way I like you."

"The same way I like you?" I repeated weakly.

She winked. "You can interpret it however you want."

My skin crawled. "I—I need to use the restroom."

"Oh! Did I make you uncomfortable?" She covered her mouth dramatically. "The restroom is outside on the left. Ask the guards."

"I know the way," I muttered before speed-walking away.

The moment I left her line of sight, I stopped and sucked in the deepest breath I’d ever taken.

"Goddess. Why is she so horny?" I whispered to myself. A small tug pulled at my trousers.

I looked down. Damien stood there, Lucien’s older brother.

"Lost?" He arched a brow. "In my own home?" He said staring at me like I said the funniest stuff which I actually did by the way.
