Claimed By My Three Alphas
Chapter 103

AMERY

.

"Where are you coming from?" Mum questioned the minute I walked into the house. My head had been so caught up in the clouds all through the bus ride home that I didn't even stop to think for a second that they might be home ready to pounce on me any second. This is what I call the Levi effect. Is there any way to escape this because looking at mum's face right now, I could tell that she would strangle me any moment from now if I didn't come up with a better excuse as to where and what I had been doing all this while to the extent of coming home past my curfew.

"I'm talking to you Amery!" She yelled at the top of her voice. Just then, Dad emerged from the kitchen and seeing the commotion between the two of us, he decided to not get involved. Typical of him anyways. Not like I expected anything more from the man who denied me and pretended as if I meant nothing to him.

"Mom, I can explain..." I started but she lifted a finger at me and I snapped my mouth shut. This was her angry face and no matter what I said at this point, it still wouldn't change anything.

"Your school closed six hours ago and when I called they told me that you had left and that you were no longer in school so where could you have gone and why are you coming back so late at night?"

I adjusted my bag properly on my shoulders. "I went out with friends. We were invited to hang out and I lost track of time."

"And you couldn't call, text or probably pick up my own calls? Do you know how worried and scared I was because I thought that you were in trouble or something worse?" She asked but I couldn't bring myself to answer. "What is going on with you Amery? Ever since you came back from the hospital, I feel like I don't even know you anymore. Are you planning to run away, Is that it?"

"I'm sorry that I forgot to call or text you. It completely slipped my mind and I didn't mean to get any of you worried. I truly forgot."

"Amery..." Mom approached me slowly. "Are you going through any problems that I should know about? Are you seeing someone perhaps? You know that you can tell me anything. I'm your mother and I promise that I won't judge you. Are you hiding something from me?"

I shook my head. "I'm not seeing anyone mom, neither am I hiding anything from you. Like I said, I went out with a group of friends and I lost track of time." I repeated. The look on her face told me that she had doubts about my statement but then she couldn't prove anything to be true even if she wanted to. My whole life has been a lie anyways so one more, isn't going to ruin anything than it already has.

I took a deep breath and held her hands in mine. "Your right. I shouldn't have gone anywhere without calling to inform you first. It was wrong of me to take decisions on my own without involving you and for that I am truly sorry. I promise that from now henceforth, if I have to go anywhere, stay out late or see anyone then I'd let you know on time so that you don't worry."

"Thank you." She sighed deeply and I let go of her hands. "Do you want to have dinner or perhaps something to eat?"

"It's okay mom, I'm full. We can always have breakfast tomorrow morning before I go to school if it's okay with you?"

She gleamed in delight. Her eyes glistening in excitement. "I'd like that. Thank you very much."

"I'll be going upstairs to my bedroom. Good night." I waved at her and walked past Dad as I quickly took the stairs. I could tell that he wanted to talk to me but I had no desire whatsoever to listen to anything that he has to say. I haven't gotten over his betrayal and the more I see him looking around the harder it gets for me to forget.

I arrived at my room and after bolting the door shut, I reached out for my clothes and took it off. Then I proceeded to use the bathroom. After that, I applied a teeny bit of lotion before settling for a night dress.

I got under the covers and lay down on my side as I stared outside the window of my bedroom. My mind playback to the moment that I had shared with Levi this evening. I couldn't help the smile that spread my lips as the memories wouldn't stop coming. Who would have thought that Levi had a soft spot inside of him and that he could be kind and caring enough when he wanted to. It was shocking and at the same time romantic.

Maybe him losing his wolf was a good thing. I didn't want to say it before but I think that ever since he lost his animal, he was behaving less of a monster and more like a good person. I always knew that he wasn't just built to destroy and annihilate people. His cold- hearted nature was definitely fueled by something and tonight had shown me that I could be right.

My cellphone beeped and I reached out to get it from my desk. It was a message from Levi. I couldn't believe that he had my number and that he had texted me first. I straightened myself on the bed so that I could respond. He typed: Levi: Are you dead or alive?

I smiled at how thoughtful it was even though I knew that he was being playful about the matter.

Me: Mom got upset. Was able to salvage the situation though.

I pressed send and anxiously waited for his response. A few seconds later, my phone buzzed with a new message.

Levi: Why do I get a strange feeling that you lied your way out of it Amery?

I cringed at his response. If he hadn't taken me out to have a great and wonderful time then I probably would've been back home hours ago. The audacity of him to play saint when he was practically the evil one here.

Me: I didn't lie. I just told her what she needed to hear.

Levi: Sounds a lot like lying though, you wild, crazy hellion.

I laughed. I don't know why but it sounded funny and I could somehow picture his face whilst he was saying that to me.

Me: At least I'm better than someone who's scared of heights.

I added the poop emoji before pressing send. He wasn't the only one who could make me feel bad about myself. We both had something against each other and just knowing that, gives me a certain amount of peace that I couldn't explain. Levi: I thought we agreed to let it go? So why won't you let it go?

He added an angry emoji but I sent a silly one as comeback. I am about to place my phone back on the desk when it buzzed again.

Levi: I had a good time tonight. You're not bad company but it doesn't mean that I like you. I still hate you and I promise to kill you when and if I had the chance.

I reread the message over and over again. It doesn't make any sense but somehow I still felt confused about everything. Was he changing for the better or was this another stunt of his? Levi was an unpredictable person, a hard, tough, case to crack. He made my life complicated and made it harder for me to understand anything about him. He was like this mystery in a box that I couldn't guess or figure out no matter how hard I tried to. I am lost in my thoughts when his message came through again for the third time. Levi: Already asleep or are you perhaps doing something naughty right now?

Me: What do you mean by naughty?

I decided to play dumb. There's no way on earth I'm admitting to anything Levi has to say tonight. He clearly wasn't in the right frame of mind.

Levi: People tend to replace s****l satisfaction to their urges when they're alone so I won't be surprised if you were touching yourself right now.

I swallowed hard, the air in my lungs vanishing all of a sudden. How and why would he say something like that? I have never done something like that before so why would I start now?

Me: I am not touching myself.

Levi: Is it because you want me to do it for you?

I looked around my bedroom and held onto my chest that was already beating fast and on the verge of going haywire right now.

Levi: Your silence means yes which only means that you're imagining it right now aren't you?

Me: Good night Levi.

I quickly turned off my phone and placed it on the desk where I had taken it. I felt the excitement building in and bubbling in my chest. This was all shades of wrong and I wouldn't want anything between the two of us to escalate further. It was already hard keeping away from him and now, he was trying to plant weird thoughts in my head.

"Not today. Definitely not today, Satan." I whispered to myself before pulling up the covers to get a good night rest.
