Claimed By My Three Alphas
Chapter 90

"Let's get you cleaned up. Where is your bathroom?" Levi asked but Amery remained silent. Her eyes were fixed on him but her mind was somewhere else. She didn't know how to relieve herself of this burden that she had been carrying around all day like a cloak

draped around her shoulders. She felt full, ripped apart and suffocated.

"I'm talking to you Amery and ignoring me is not the best option for both of us right now. I'm quite impatient and I'm certain that you know that too. Now, where the hell is your damn bathroom?" He asked again but she only glanced at him briefly. Her eyes held so much emotions and pain that her mouth couldn't express.

Looking at him, she wondered why he was even here in the first place. Why hasn't he left up until now? Why was he hovering over her like a protective parent who cared about his/her offspring? Why was he being compassionate?

He should be laughing and mocking her right now like he normally does. He should be happy that he had finally gotten his revenge on her and that things were finally going his way so why? Why was he still here?

"Amery-"

"T-Thanks for bringing me home." She said in a small voice that could barely be heard from where he stood even though he was practically two or three feet away from her.

"Thank you for making sure that I am safe but I don't need you here anymore so please leave." She pointed at the door. "My parents might come back anytime soon and we've already had a big fallout at school. I don't want them coming back to replace you here, in my bedroom so go away and don't ever come back here."

"Amery?" He called out in disbelief but she pretended not to hear.

Ignoring him, Amery stood up from the bed and slowly made her way into the bathroom. She filled the tub with water and threw in some scented oil and leaves before stepping inside.

Fully rested in the tub, she held up her knees together in a sitting position and closed her eyes shut. The happenings of today flooded through her brain, constantly reminding her that once again, she had lost and had become the laughing stock of the entire school. It tugged at her chest and unable to hold it in, she let it all out. Tears falling down her cheeks, piece by piece and mixing up with the scented water.

Her father had abandoned her and turned his back on her, Asher had run away and now, Quincy had been expelled. Everything happened so fast and in less than one day. Was she really cursed perhaps? Why was she always experiencing the hardships of life? Why can't she be happy and have it all to herself even if its just for a little while? Why was she constantly being abandoned by the people she cared about? It hurts a lot.

Amery sat In the tub quietly and just then, she felt her back getting cold which was followed by the swishing sound coming from behind her but she ignored and didn't react thinking that it was just the wind blowing at the bathroom door through the window. She was about to place her hands on both sides of the tub to support herself when she felt a familiar wall caging her in.

She wanted to flinch but then when the familiar ache fluttered through her stomach repeatedly, she knew who it was already. She didn't jerk but she was shocked to the bone. How did he get through the door without her realizing it?

"L-Levi?" She stuttered knowingly but there was no reply. Instead she felt a pair of strong hands slowly and carefully scrubbing her back.

"Who else would be seated here with you if not me? I'm practically the only one at home with you right now." Levi's voice boomed from behind her.

Amery shivered and froze instantly. Her hands impulsively went to her chest to cover her breasts. She heard his stifled laughter from behind her and she immediately regretted it. She practically walked past him into the bathroom naked so why was she suddenly feeling self conscious? She wouldn't blame herself though. She thought he had gone home after she snapped at him earlier and literally forced him to leave.

"I-I...I thought that you had left already. I wasn't expecting to see you here in my bathroom." She whispered and gulped down the saliva that rose to her throat forcefully.

Why was he here in her bathroom? How did he get inside here? Why didn't he leave? Oh goodness! Just thinking about it has her body reeling from different emotions. "Why? Were you expecting someone else?" He asked, shifting her hair to one side of her neck as he scrubbed that exposed area of her neck that linked down to her bare back. "N-No...I mean, I wasn't."

"How are you feeling now? Are you feeling any better?" He asked, gently scrubbing her.

"I'm very okay Levi." She replied, enjoying the feel of his hands on her body. She must be shameless and grieving but at this point, it didn't matter. The warmth that emanated from him just being close to her was heavenly. She shouldn't like it but then again, she can't help it. Whatever it was, she needed some sort of distraction and since he was offering it, how could she refuse.

Pulling himself closer, Levi placed a kiss on the exposed nape of her neck causing her to shiver slightly. The knot in her abdomen had tightened and she felt the familiar ache intensify. It was an impulse on his part but it felt so damn good.

"You smell good." He said in a deep guttural voice.

"Why are you here?" She asked instead, trying her very best to change the subject. She could slowly feel her body giving in and she didn't want it to continue.

"I just wanted to shower with you and possibly keep you company considering the state that I found you in earlier. Besides, I know that you wouldn't have let me if I had asked so I decided to do it the hard way." His voice had gone from deep to hoarse and Amery closed her eyes, drowning in the moment.

"You shouldn't have come here Levi." Her cheeks heated up in utter embarrassment. He was naked in the tub and so was she. "You should leave while you can. I don't want any trouble." She warned him.

"I know but I wanted to. This was the only way that I could ensure your safety." He replied conversationally before turning her slowly to face him.

Amery stared down at the tub, afraid to meet his seeking eyes.

"Look at me Amery." He urged and she stared at him briefly and faced head down again.

"I can't Levi. The issue with school, my parents and Quincy, it's just too much and I don't know how to stop myself from feeling this way. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm hurting badly but I don't know how to stop it. What do I do?" She asked suddenly changing the topic and causing the frown on his face to deepen and fade away into something that she couldn't understand. "What am I going to do about this?"

Cold, hard eyes stared right at her but only silence met her question.

"You're frowning." She pointed out. "Did I perhaps say something wrong? Or was it wrong of me to grieve and let out my pain?"

She held her face affectionately. "You didn't say anything wrong but the truth is that I don't want to listen to anything that doesn't have to do with you. And you shouldn't be thinking about anyone at this point. Your top priority should be you. Quincy is my brother and I know for a fact that he can handle himself so why are you stressing over something that you shouldn't concern yourself with in the first place?. You should concern yourself with getting better Amery and after that happened today, you come first." His fingers caressed her cheeks as he spoke.

"And besides" He continued "Why would you be thinking about that when I'm right here with you?"

"I'm sorry" She sniffed. "I couldn't help it. Everything happened so fast that it's heart wrenching and slowly eating me out.."

"It's okay, I understand."

Placing the sponge nicely on the side of the tub, he pushed himself out of the water and stepped down gently from the tub.

Amery swallowed when her eyes caught a glimpse of him down there. By the goddess! He was huge.

Fire! She was practically burning up but the bathroom was cold and she was sitting down in a bathtub with warm water so why was she hot?

"You don't have to afraid of me Amery. I only want to take care of you and nothing else." He told her sincerely "Let me take care of you alright?"

Amery found herself nodding at Levi's request even though she has the slightest idea about what he was talking about. After washing and toweling her dry, he carried her into his arms and out of the bathroom in bridal style. Both their naked bodies glued together as they walked back into her bedroom.
