Claimed By My Three Alphas
Chapter 53

AMERY

The dance came to abrupt end and I am left a bit cold when Levi pulls himself away from me. We bow to the crowd present and they clapped In applause. I turned to leave but Levi holds onto my hands almost immediately. I honestly didn't know what to make out of this clinginess. One moment we were at each other's throats and the next moment, he was smiling down genuinely at me.

Is it possible for someone to have a change of heart in less than one day? He had apologized and said exactly what I wanted to hear but I couldn't bring myself to believe them. Deep down, it felt as if he had a motive. A motive that I didn't know about and the fact that he kept on pushing us to reconcile only gave off bad vibes.

I still couldn't forget the way he looked at me with anger and disdain earlier today when we were locked up in his room together. If Levi could spit fire balls at me, he probably would do more because that's exactly the vibes he gave to me. I have never considered him to be nice or caring. His demeanor tonight only added to the fear that built up inside me. In as much as i want to believe them, I couldn't hold onto his words.

"I want to go over to Asher and Quincy." I blurted out as I tried to wiggle free but he held on tighter. Unlike the Levi I was used to who would've frowned at me or tried to yell at me, he only smiled.

"They gave me permission to be with you tonight." He reminded me and ran his hands into his wet hair to dishevel it.

"They actually gave us permission to dance together and since the dance is over, I'd like to go back to them now."

"Really?" He questioned with a small laugh. "I thought you'd like to hear that I have found a way for you to leave our realm and go back to the human world but since you're insisting..." He released my hand from his firm grip and made to leave but I grabbed them in mine, stilling his movement and forcing him to look back at me.

"What did you just say?" I asked with a puzzled look on my face. My ears not hearing properly. "You have found a way for me to go back home?"

He nodded. "I have and I thought you would be interested in replaceing out but it turns out that you're more concerned about my brothers and spending time with them so, I would leave you to it."

I tugged his arm backward. "How can you just leave after saying something like this? If you know a way that I can go back then just tell me."

"Are you ready to listen?" He asked and I nodded my head vigorously.

He stretched out his hands to me, asking for another dance. I darted my eyes towards the boys and where they stood looking dejected. I felt guilty for doing this but I had to. I'd rather replace a way out of since and since Levi was offering then the best thing to do at this point was to listen.

Taking his hands, we resumed dancing for the second time. I was more invested in what he wanted to say rather than the dance itself but I knew that I couldn't rush him. With Levi, there's certainly no telling on what he might do next and I don't want to risk my one and only chance of leaving this realm for good.

"About what you found out." I began and he brought his face down to mine. "How can I leave? Is it even possible for me to do so?"

We glided round the open space and I paid eapt attention to whatever he was going to say at this point.

"Yes you can." He admitted "And I'm ready to help you leave our realm because in as much as I have strong feelings for you, I still won't deny the fact that you are a threat to me and my brothers."

I hung my head, feeling embarrassed. He was letting me go not just because he loved me but because he cared so much about his brothers. I don't want to admit to it but I have never envisioned Levi to be someone who was selfless enough to take on a task like this.

"Do...Do they know?" He followed my eyes to the spot where his brothers stood.

"They know but they don't want to focus on the consequences. The prophecy has already enlightened us on what to expect but my brothers do not want to listen and I'm afraid that this is the only way to save them from themselves."

I sighed deeply. "I understand but how do I go about it?"

"There is a boundary between our realm and the human realm in the woods." He voiced out while I looked at him perplexed. How is it that something like this existed and no one told me about it?

"You could return to the human world and live out the rest of your life, free from the chaos that our world brought into your life." He looked down at me. "You would live happily and free without being tangled up in our mess. I want the best for you Amery and that's why I'm telling you this."

I am enticed by his words because ever since I was brought here, I had only thought about going back to my parents. I missed them so badly and I wanted to know just how they were doing without me. Do they think I'm dead? Have they moved on? Did they try to look for me? Were they okay? Did they organize a funeral on my behalf? I really wanted to hug them and let them know that I'm alright and that I'm alive and well but part of me still didn't trust Levi.

The fact that this could all be a plan didn't sit well with me. Something keeps telling me that he had other plans that I wasn't well aware of. How do I trust this man? What if he was doing all of this to lock me up somewhere to die? "Do you promise that you can help me get back home?" I asked, the fears in me suddenly arising.

"I do."

"That's not enough Levi. I want you to swear on your life that this isn't just a game and that you would help me get back to my parents."

He placed his hand on his chest and looked at me straight in the eye as if he was staring at my soul.

"I, prince Levi, solemnly swears to Amery and our mating bond that I'd never hurt her again and that I would help her leave this realm even if it's the last thing I do." He vowed and I felt a deep sense of relief course through my veins.

Maybe I was wrong about his intentions. Maybe he really had reflected on his behavior and had a change of heart just like he had told me. Maybe I could trust him just this once and see how it goes. He had tried to save me a lot of times so it wouldn't hurt to give him a chance. If it weren't for Levi, then I'd probably be dead from the Dalia incident so the least I could do was accept his apology in hopes that he keeps to his promise and his own end of the bargain.

"Alright then," I breathed out slowly. "I trust you."

I feel a certain calm in my heart when I uttered those words and without warning, I threw myself into his arms, hugging him tightly. "Thank you so much Levi. I really am grateful that you want to help me." I said truthfully because I was. If everything goes according to plan then I would be leaving this place and back to where I belong for good.

"I have always known that you have some good in you. I might've been wrong about you being a complete monster and a jerk and for that, I deeply apologize."

He hugs me back with a peck on my cheeks. I felt the heat creep up my neck slowly and rested on my cheeks as I blushed heavily.

We pulled away and I tried to hide myself from embarrassment. I didn't want him to know that he had that sort of effect on me even though my insides are already burning yo from the close proximity between us.

"Would you love to have a look around the area? I'd be happy to give you a tour and show you around the place, that is if you want to." He offered and I blushed from ear to ear.

"Of course." I agreed and he led me out of the dancing floor immediately.
