Liv's POV
I decided to leave school for my room. My transformation had spooked Frank enough that he had also left school early. I was also confused; I didn't know what had happened then. Well, I had worse problems back at the mansion.
The triplets weren't waiting for me at the entrance of the school, it seemed like Frank had spoiled their mood too much for them to care about me.
I took a cab and went back to the mansion. As I got down at the gate, a sickening aura enveloped me and I shivered. It was a sense of foreboding warning me about the dangers inside the mansion.
It wasn't even the triplets I was most worried about. It was their mother, the Luna Rebecca. The threat still stuck in my head and I couldn't shake off the fear even though I wanted to do.
As usual, the guards didn't give two shits about me as I walked inside the mansion. I didn't bother looking at them as I walked in. I went straight upstairs to my room and I sighed in relief as I stood in front of the door.
I twisted the door knob and three familiar scents greeted my nose immediately. I looked up and I saw the triplets had camped shamelessly inside my room.
I sighed in frustration, feeling the urge to ask them what they were doing, but it was no use. They were the ones who gave it to me in the first place; they could do whatever they wanted with the room.
I felt suffocated; I wanted to go back to my room back in the maid's quarters. All I wanted was for them to listen to me and get me out of this place, back to where I had been before.
Max was the first to stand up out of the three of them. With the rage visible in his eyes, it felt like he was going to devour me raw. Ryder looked disappointed and shook his head where he sat by the study. Callum didn't have his normal casual demeanor on him, he seemed rather annoyed.
Max suddenly closed the distance between us, and before I could react or talk, he clamped down on my arm and looked me in the eye.
"Where have you been?" He snapped, the tendons and muscles on his neck twitched as he spoke.
"What's going on" I asked scared and clueless even though I knew deep down they were angry at me being with Frank earlier.
Max pinned me with so much force to the wall, peering his intense gaze at me. I struggled to break free from his grip but he wasn't budging.
It felt like an ant waging war against an angry badger.
"I saw what you did with Frank, what the fuck was the meaning of that?" He was seriously hurting me with the way he grasped me firmly. His hands were cold and strong like the Jaws of Life. "What the hell did you do with Frank? Where did you go with Frank?!"
I could see his agitation wasn't normal. His eyes continuosly glowed and then returned to normal. I knew his wolf was threatening to come out but he was fighting it back. It was a tug of war between both beings and that was why he acted so terrifying.
I was too scared to answer as I shook against the wall. I felt something warm flow down my hand as I felt his claws dig into my arm. Bright red blood dripped on the floor.
He turned to his brothers, not realizing what he was doing to me "You know what? I'll fucking mark her here and now! So that motherfucker knows she's bloody taken!" Max yelled.
Callum suddenly stepped forward. "Shut the fuck up and don't be stupid, now let her go," Callum warned, already pissed by Max's act
Eyes reddened in anger, Max turned towards Callum with his hands still clamped down on mine. "And what the fuck is that supposed to mean? You calling me stupid?" He glared hard at Callum.
I winced in pain. My hand throbbed and his claws seemed to be digging deeper into my skin.
"She is fucking that dark Sky fucker and you are telling me to let her go!" Max questioned, even more agitated. He looked poised to fight Callum if the need arose.
Ryder stood up and got between both brothers. "That's enough okay. Being mad at each other isn't going to get rid of the fucking problem," he explained.
"Yes absolutely. The problem is that fucker and we should find a way of getting rid of him, not coming after me" he glared daggers at Callum.
"You said it yourself. It's Frank who's the problem, why bring her into your shit!" Callum fired, more than ready to strike the first blow
"And why the fuck do you even care. You never cared about her once. You never even wanted to look at her. I and Ryder have always been the one who went around her."
"You mean hurting her every fucking chance you got!"
"Like you were a bloody saint huh!"
"I wasn't, but it was better watching from afar than partaking and that's what i fucking did!"
Max scoffed, looking at Ryder. "Would you look at the rubbish he's saying? You hated her you piece of shit! Don't act like you are the fucking saint"
"Max calm down, you are fucking scaring her" Ryder spoke up like he had had enough, but that only agitated Max the more.
"What the hell are you saying? If Callum wants to go down this way, I'm more than fucking ready for him!" Max protested.
"Then let's fucking deal with this now!" Callum gritted out, his nose flared in anger and skin reddened. His eyes glowed, showing his wolf was agitated just like Max's was.
He moved forward, ready to strike but Ryder blocked his way.
Callum pointed angrily at Ryder. "Get the fuck out of my way! He doesn't want to let go of the girl. He thinks he is right, he thinks he is alright but he isn't. Let him look in the fucking mirror! He is the fucking monster and not me! Damn it!" Callum raised his hands at the mirror.
"I dare you, make me Callum. Fucking make me! One of us will leave this room alive and it's not you!" Max growled. He held me behind him as if I was his property. It was as if he was keeping away from his brothers. He was losing it.
"Why don't you let her go and let's do this the old way? You senseless fucker!" Callum pushed forward but Ryder held him firmly back.
"Calm the fuck down you two!" Ryder pushed back with all his strength.
It was rare to see Callum acting this way. He was always so calm and collected. Even his anger never show the way it did now. It was normal for Max, but for Callum, this was a first. The both wanted to tear at themselves if not for Ryder who tried his best to mediate the fight.
"Ever so smart, stupid ass. I was going to go after her when Frank pulled her away, but you just had to stop me" Max growled.
"Because I knew you hot-blooded fucker would let your emotions get in the way and you would want to fight Frank,"
"Of course. He touched what's ours and we were just supposed to let him be?!"
"He is a fucking Alpha's son just like we are. Don't you think for a second before acting like the dumbfuck you are?"
Max moved forward in wrath and I whimpered in pain.
Tears gathered in my eyes as I sobbed. This wasn't what I bargained for. I wanted a mate who would love me, not three brothers fighting over me.
I had never had peace for once in my life and it happened to be my mates being the cause of it. Max looked at my hand and his wolf retracted. He followed the blood to the floor and I saw the look of horror on his face.
Soon, Ryder and Callum noticed. Their face shrunk from anger to astonishment, Ryder took a step back and Callum pinched his temple as his face emitted realization
Max's claw retracted but he still held me, his eyes softened and his tone more humane
"Liv" he called out in utmost regret. M
