Claimed By My Three Alphas
Chapter 67

AMERY

.

"I've applied antiseptic to your bruise so it wouldn't leave scar. Make sure to change the bandaid before you go to sleep at night." The school's nurse instructed me and adjusted her glasses so that they rested on her eyes to frame her round face. "Thank you." I sniffed and ran my other hand over my face to push back the strand of hair that had settled there. After Levi had assaulted me in the restroom earlier, I had managed to get dressed and made my way here to treat my wound so that it doesn't leave a

scar.

Levi had really done a number on me and the pain of knowing that would never go away. It hit differently when I heard him say that he would gladly repeat his actions if he was given another chance to. I really had been a fool for trusting him all along. "Still don't want to tell me how you ended up with that bruise?" She eyed me curiously as she placed the bandaid on my disinfected injury. When I didn't respond, she sucked in a deep breath and stuffed her tools back into the first aid box. "Are you being bullied?" She asked out of the blue and I whipped my eyes towards her direction. "Did you get into a fight? Or is someone harassing you that you're afraid to mention their names?"

I shook my head no. I couldn't bring myself to tell her that the three handsome triplets of our school were actually wolves in disguise from another realm who had come here and that one of them had actually tried to rescue me because he wanted to kill me instead.

A very good story which sounded like a myth that no one would ever believe anyways so there's no point in saying anything or trying to convince anyone.

"You know that this is a safe place right?" She pressed. I had zoned out on her that I didn't even realize that she was still here with me. "Anything you say within these walls, remain in these walls. Let me help you Amery. I know that you're struggling and after the video incident that went viral, it's only natural that you get bullied by your peers." She tried to convince me but I wouldn't budge. As much as I hated them, I wouldn't rat them out for my own personal gain. if they should get caught for any reason at all, then it should be because they did it themselves and not because I had instigated it.

I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night knowing that I had brought this on them. It wasn't fair. Like it or not, they had protected me In their own realm and this was the least that I could do to return the favor. "We can actually file a report and those students or should I call them perpetrators would be punished. Trust me." She went on, in a bid to convince me.

"It's okay ma'am. No one did anything to me." I forced a smile through my swollen and tear stained eyes. "I was cleaning at the gym, I slipped and fell down which resulted in this." I flashed my hands in her face. She didn't look convinced. "Are you sure?"

I feigned a smile. "I'm sure ma'am. If I was assaulted, this place would probably be my last resort because I know that you might replace out."

She nodded once and sighed heavily. "Alright then. I'll let it go since you've confirmed that it was an accident. Here are some meds to numb the pain and relive you of any migraine for the night."

I picked up my bag from the ground and threw it over my shoulders before accepting the drugs that she was offering. "Thank you so much ma'am. I'll take my leave now."

And with that, I exited the clinic and made my way outside. Luckily, school was over for the day and I couldn't help but feel a lot lighter. I had no intentions of going back to class when I looked like someone who a train had run over.

Taking the route that led outside the school's premises, I spotted the trio who were about to get into their ride. I wonder how they were able to possess such property when they don't even live here. It still baffled me that they blended in well with the other students even when they don't belong here.

As if on cue, they all darted their eyes towards my direction. I froze and we lock eyes instantly but I was quick to break the connection by averting my gaze. I placed my buds perfectly in my ears and made my way towards the bus station, completely ignoring them even when I know that they were still watching me.

The bus arrived and I got in and tookmy seat next to the window. Their car drove past ours and I felt a tiny tug at my chest but I waved it off as soon as I came. They had hurt me and not the other way around. If anything, they should be sorry that they did too. I arrived home and made my way straight to my bedroom, ignoring the incessant calls from my parents. I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone and I'm not about to pretend as if I was okay. I'm not okay. Nothing has been going my way ever since I got here. Everything seemed to be going haywire. I felt like an unwanted puzzle piece just seating at the center of an unsolved puzzle.

I am only but a teenager for crying out loud. Why should you have to go through all of these things. First I was trapped, killed and as if it wasn't enough, I found out that I wasn't fully a human and the people I called my parents, weren't really my parents and now, I was rescued by a boy who wanted absolutely nothing to do with me. Just how much of this would I take?

I need a therapist at this point because I was slowly loosing it and I could tell.

A knock sounded on my door and I could tell that it was mom but I didn't respond. I am afraid that if I answer her in this state, I might do something disastrous.

"Amery Darling." Her tiny voice beckoned to me. "Are you okay in there? Your father and I are worried about you my dear."

"I'm fine mom. I just had a really bad day so I want to be left alone. For now." I was quick to add so that she doesn't panic.

"Did something happen at school? You can talk to us sweetheart, we're here for you." She insisted but I only took in a deep breath.

"I know. I promise that I'll talk to you both when I'm a bit better. You don't have to worry about me."

They went silent for a while before saying. "Alright darling. Your mother and loves you so much okay? Don't forget that."

"I love you both too." I confessed.

I heard receding footsteps which indicated that they had gone. Releasing the breath that I didn't know I was holding, I reached for my clothes and tugged it off. I did the same for my shoes and settled for something comfortable before going under the covers that housed my bed. I didn't know how long I stayed there but I knew that it was for a very long time. I didn't go out for dinner even when my parents had insisted. I told them off that I wasn't hungry and luckily, they didn't bug me to.

Halfway through my peaceful slumber, I woke up to the sound of leaves rustling just outside my window. Normally I wouldn't wake up to such noise so maybe I think it had to do with the wolf or something. The noise died down and it was followed by the sound of stones tapping my window persistently. I became alert in an instant. Was someone trying to break into my room? And if they were then why were they throwing stones?

Perturbed, I picked up the pen knife on my table and slowly approached the window where the supposed noise was coming from. I stood just at the corner and tried my very best to remain silent and not blow off my cover.

Just then, I saw a shadowy figure through the curtains. I hesitated, holding onto the knife tightly for my dear life.

When the person made an attempt to get into my room, I attacked but before I could hit him, he grabbed me by my wrists and placed his other hands on my mouth so that I wouldn't scream. I struggled but stopped immediately when I heard his voice.

"It's me Amery. Please don't scream." He whispered and I went lax into his arms. He released me and I slowly turned to face none other than Asher. I could feel myself getting excited but I wasn't. How on earth did he replace out where I lived? Or a more important question, what on earth is he doing here?
