Chapter 20

Alexander's POV

'I Emma Garcia refuse to accept Julian Martinez, Philip Martinez, and Alexander Martinez as my mates!

Those words kept repeating in my head over and over again.

"What are we going to do now?" Julian asked dejected after Emma ran out of the house.

"I really don't know," I reply. This is the first time in my life that I'm feeling like this. I feel angry at myself and ashamed of everything I've done. I saw the pain and hurt in her eyes when she found out that we were her mates, but I didn't think she would go as far as to reject us. She had even planned to leave the pack house quietly without letting us know. If she had left, I just don't know what I might do.

"Did you guys see how hurt and angry she was?" Philip asked. We all sat in her room trying to wrap our heads around what we just encountered.

Her friend whom we met had run after her to try to calm her down. What was his name again? Jack? Jude? Justin? I don't even remember her best friend's name.

"Do you blame her? I mean we've been nothing but cruel to her, especially me," Julian said sorrowfully.

"I really regret everything. I wish we hadn't treated her so badly. I wish I could just go back and fix everything," Philip lamented bitterly.

"We couldn't have known, I mean who would have thought that Emma of all people will be our mate," Julian replies.

I turned and took a look at her room. It was tiny and had a little window that, I doubt, can provide little or no ventilation. The bed that we were sitting on felt so hard that I wondered how she was able to get any sleep with her injured and bruised body on it. We've really neglected and treated her so viciously.

"What if she really leaves?" Julian asked.

The possibility of that brought pain to my heart and I already feel restless. I can't bear the thought of losing her.

"She can't leave. She can't do that to us. We can't let that happen," I said, not daring to think of that ever happening.

"We have to make everything right. We have to do whatever it takes to get her to forgive and accept us. We can't afford to lose her," I said to my brothers.

They all nodded their head in agreement.

I took a look at my watch. It was 12pm in the middle of the night. It was so late, and she still hasn't come back. Did something happen to her? Is she hurt?

I couldn't help but start thinking about all the possible scenarios that could have happened. I was still thinking when I heard the door open and the sweet, familiar scent I now know too well wafted through my nostrils.

"She's here!" the three of us exclaimed excitedly and ran out of her room to meet her.

"Why did you come back so late?" I asked. She flinched when she heard my voice and slowly turned to look at me. What I saw broke my heart into a million pieces. She looked petrified and was shivering out of fright. She would be, after all, we always welcomed her with insults and beatings whenever she returned home late.

She quickly knelt down on her knees.

"I...I'm sorry I'm late, It won't happen again," she said, not looking up at us.

"Why are you kneeling?" I asked surprised.

"You asked me to know my place and always get down on my knees when speaking to you," she hurriedly answers, still scared.

Julian walked towards her and tried to help her onto her feet. The moment she saw that he was coming towards her, she started crying and begging fervently.

"I'm sorry, please don't hurt me. I won't repeat the mistake of coming back late ever again,"

Julian stared at her in shock, not knowing what to say.

"Stand up," he said calmly after a while.

She stood up on her wobbly legs, still not making eye contact with us. Her eyes suddenly widened, and she ran to the kitchen. We all followed her, alarmed to see what made her run to the kitchen.

I was dumbfounded when I found her at the kitchen sink hurriedly trying to wash the dishes. Julian, Philip, and I all stared at each other in disbelief.

"You don't have to do all that now, we have a maid that can do it," I said tenderly. She paused for a second.

"I'm the maid," she simply replies and continued washing. I was dumbfounded. We all stood behind her, watching her every move like a hawk as she finished washing the dishes.

"What would you and Hailey want for dinner?" She asked.

"Hailey is asleep, and we don't want anything," Philip said.

"All we want is for you to sit with us and let's talk," I said, moving close to her.

She flinched and covered her face with her hands, moving backward. My heart sank. She really thought I was going to hit her. She looked at the three of us fearfully, her gray eyes swollen and filled with fear.

"You can go now," I said, sighing. I could see she was fatigued due to all that she had gone through that tonight. She didn't wait for me to repeat myself, she quickly ran to her room. "That went well," Julian said sarcastically.

"She's petrified of us. She looked at us like we were monsters," Philip said, looking hurt.

"Aren't we? After every horrible thing that we've done. We have to get her to trust us and make it up to her," I muttered.

"You are right, but how long do you think it will take for her to believe we are sincere? My wolf is already whining in protest," Julian said, clearly frustrated.

"Mine too," Philip agreed.

"We have to tread carefully and patiently guys, so we don't end up scaring her away, we have to endure and control our wolves," I comforted them. I know how hard it can be.

"For now, let's go to bed and think of ways to pacify her. It's already so late," I said.

"Good night, guys," Philip said.

"Good night, although I doubt I would be able to get any sleep," Julian grumbled as we all headed to our rooms.

I got into my room, but the lights were off, and I sniffed out a scent I'd known for a very long time.

"Hailey? I thought you were asleep" I said, walking towards my bed and switching on my bedside lamp which immediately illuminated the room.

"I was, but I missed you, so I came," she said in a seductive voice. I sat on the bed and took a proper look at her. She was wearing a flimsy nightgown that barely covered her a*s, and her cleavage was on full display. I sat down exhausted on the bed, turning my back to her.

"Didn't you miss me?" She whispered in my ear.

"Not now, Hailey, I'm exhausted," I reply.

"That's why I'm here, I will make you feel better," she said and started massaging my shoulders and kissing my neck.

When she saw that I was not responding to her, she straddled me and pushed me onto the bed. I tried to use her as a distraction and get my mind off things, but it just was not working. She was not the one I was craving her touch. I kissed her back and grabbed her a*s. She moaned and took off her nightgown and tried to take off my trousers.

I held her hand to stop her. "Stop Hailey, I'm not in the mood," I said, trying to get her off my body.

"Since when have you ever refused me, Alex?" she asked. That was true, I'd never refused to have s*x with Hailey before but now, even when she was naked in front of me, I was not aroused. She noticed I was deep in thought and started kissing me again, but a certain teary gray-eyed girl kept invading my thoughts.

I grabbed her arm harshly, "I said stop it, you should leave now," I said, disgusted by her touch.

"Are you serious right now?" she asked in disbelief.

I dragged her by her arm outside my room, clearly annoyed.

"Wait Alex, I'm naked," she protested.

I took her nightgown from my bed and flung it at her. She looked at me shocked and dumbfounded, but I slammed my door in her face. I went straight into the bathroom to take a bath and get her scent off me.

I lay on my bed thinking about everything that has happened today. Furthermore, I suddenly hear Julian's mind link me and Philip.

"Can you guys sleep?" he grumbled, frustrated.

"No," we both replied.

I tossed and turned on my bed, unable to sleep. I kept perceiving the sweet scent of Emma, messing with my head. My wolf was yearning for his mate. I lay down with my eyes wide open. "This is going to be a very long night," I mumbled to myself.
