Emma's POV

"You can't stay here. Why will you stay here when you have your own room?" I refused, shaking my head vehemently.

"Why don't we just vote, then? All those against us staying here, signify with your hand," Philip said and I quickly raised my hand. I turn to look at Alexander, but he just sits on the kitchen counter and shrugs. I glare at him. That traitor. "And all those in support, please kindly signify by raising your hand," Julian said, happily raising his hand. Philip and Alexander also raised theirs. "All those in support win," they all cheer happily.

"It will be nice to be sharing a room with you, roomie," Julian stretches his hand for a handshake. I glare at him angrily.

"Don't be a sore loser, Emma," Alexander said, and I glared at all of them before storming off to my roo "Get ready quickly and wear comfortable clothes. We might be going hiking," Philip said loudly after m

I tilt my neck to see hickeys on my neck. I gasped in shock. Alexander must have done this yesterday, and make-up? I take my bath and decide to wear a turtleneck shirt to cover the hickeys since I don't have Julian and Philip's boxes are already in our room.

"You brought in your luggage so fast?" I

inquire surprised.

lk into my room, thinking deeply about how I will be able to cope with the three of them at once. My resolve already weakened last night with Alexander and bath. I catch sight of something in the mirror, and I quickly walk back to take a closer look.

let the triplets see me like this without realizing anything. My embarrassment grows tenfold. How am I going to cover this up now when I don't have any ake-up. I walk out to meet the boys, already ready and eating their breakfast.

"Of course, did you think we were playing around?" Julian asks and they all continue eating. I scoffed and took a seat with a long face.

"That shirt looks terrible on you. I prefer you with a low-neck shirt," Alexander said, and I glared at him. I knew he did all this on purpose. He chuckles.

"Hurry up and eat, or we will be late," he said and Hailey suddenly walks in.

"Hello boys," she greets with a smile.

"You came right on time. Hurry and eat breakfast. We've got to go," Julian said to her. We all eat breakfast in silence. I can feel Hailey glaring daggers at me, but I bury my face in my plate, not glancing in her direction for even a second. We all walk out after having breakfast. Everyone was busy walking around trying to get ready on time and catch the bus. I caught sight of John heading out with a girl.

"John," I call, waving at him excitedly. He glances around for a while until he finally sees me. He waves. The girl says something to him and he nods. She enters the bus.

"Good morning. Who was that?" I ask curiously.

"Morning to you too, Emma, don't be so nosy in the morning," he retorts, and I jab his arm with mine with a chuckle.

"Tell me immediately," I whine impatiently.

"We have to get on the bus first else it would leave without us," he mutters and when I would not budge he sighs.

"I will tell you everything on our way," he promises, and I finally smile and follow him inside the bus. The triplets came in after us, but I didn't pay more attention to them. "So?" I asked him curiously.

"Ria is her name. We were paired together the other day, and we got attracted to each other," he explains.

"Attraction? That soon?" I asked surprised.

"Yes, it doesn't take years before you can be attracted to someone, Emma," he replies, chuckling.

"We have this crazy s****l attraction when we are with each other. It's really crazy," he continues.

"So you like her? Are you dating now?" I inquired.

"Whoa! Hold up. We just met, and we haven't really gotten to know each other that much," he replies. The mention of s****l attraction brings back memories from last night. I started to feel hot all over. "Is something wrong?" he asks.

"No, this bus just suddenly feels so hot," I reply, fanning myself with my hand.

"Hot? The air conditioner is on full blast," he answers, looking surprised.

"I know, but I know what I'm talking about?" I reply.

"Okay?" He said, giving me a look that says I don't believe you and we are going to talk about this later. We finally arrive, and my eyes widen when I see the pack. It looked so beautiful. People were already waiting for us. The triplets lead us to them. "Welcome students, I will be your teacher for as long as you are here," the woman who looks like she is in her late 30s introduces. "And as for today, you will be paired with students from this pack. You will be going treasure hunting in the woods. Every tree has already been marked, so you won't get lost. Each pair will have to look for a key to a box. The one who replaces the key and unlocks the box wins and gets to keep what's inside," she explains, and I cheer happily. Everyone stares at me and I quickly stop. Seems like I'm the only one who's excited about this.

"Are you that excited? Most of us here already played this game countlessly," I hear a deep voice I don't recognize said. I turn towards him. He has short black hair and his eyes are a bright emerald green, he was clean-shaven and has a lean frame, but his muscles are still apparent.

"I've never played this game before, that's why," I finally reply.

"Never? Haven't you traveled on trips before?" he asks, looking surprised and I nod.

"That explains why I must have never seen your pretty face before. I'm Xander," he introduces.

"Emma," I reply.

"Nice to meet you, Emma," he replies with a smile. I feel weird. I'm a bit socially awkward because I don't interact with people much, and I'm used to them yelling at me. The teacher starts to pair in threes. The triplets get paired together, and I get paired with Xander and Hailey. I frown when I see Hailey. I must have terrible luck.

"What are you frowning at? Do you think I want to be paired with a looser like you?" she mutters angrily.

"Hailey," Xander mutters with a smile.

"Xander, you are here," Hailey replies. Do they know each other?

The triplets also came in.

"Alex, Julian, and Philip. Nice to see you again. You guys haven't really changed," he said with a smile.

"Likewise," the triplets reply with a smile. They were all smiling, but I can feel the tension between them. What is going on here? Can someone please explain before I die of curiosity?

"You see the triplets, Hailey and I go way back since we were children. We were best of friends, right? I forgot to mention I'm Xander Blue," he said to me.

"B...lue as in blue moon pack?" I asked surprised. He smiles.

"Yes, blue moon pack. I'm the Alpha's son. You are so cute," he said and tried to pat my head. Julian held his hand and they all glared at each other for a while until the teacher announced it was time for us to go.

We part, and each group goes in their own separate group.

"Do you know the triplets?" Xander asks curiously.

"I...,"

"Of course she does. She works for us as a maid," Hailey said, cutting me off.

"They seemed really protective of you," he mutters.

"We have to, after all, she's our maid, our responsibility. She has never traveled before, so they are bound to look after her," Hailey replies again in my stead. I wanted to scoff.

"Really? That's a relief then," he said, smiling at me and I wonder what he means.

"Xander, if we keep walking like this, we will never replace the treasure. Go towards that side, Emma and I will continue in this direction," Hailey said and Xander nods, leaving me with her. I continued walking nervously.

"You must think that you are special now because the triplets take care of you, right? They will get bored of you soon enough, trust me," she sneers, and I continue walking not daring to respond. She suddenly crouches to tie her shoelaces and I continue moving forward. I stepped on a heap of dried leaves just that it wasn't just leaves but a huge and deep ditch. I fall with a yelp hitting my head hard on the floor. The only thing I see before blacking out is the bright sun and Hailey smirking evilly at me.
