Owned By Her Triplet Bullies
Chapter 72

Emma's POV

There was utter silence after the rejection. We only glared angrily at each other. Hailey cleared her throat.

"Since everything is done, there is no reason for her to continue being here. Get out and never come back. We don't need the service of a maid anymore," she said tauntingly. I could hear from the way she spoke how happy she was. I turned towards her with a smile.

"I'm sure you must be very glad about what just happened. You've been waiting for this moment all your life, right? Well, now you have it. You can stay with them without having to constantly be reminded about me," I said, walking towards her slowly. "But, you know what? You will have to live with the fact that you were only able to achieve all this through dirty tricks. You had to replace a way to get rid of me because you knew that without me around, you would finally be able to get a chance. They would never choose you willingly if you had not done all this...,"

"You...," she cuts me off, panting heavily from anger. She was trying so hard to be the damsel distressed that she could not hit me for fear of blowing her innocent poor girl's cover.

I smiled coldly and stopped right in front of her. "You know what you are always going to be? A second option. But, by all means, enjoy it while it lasts. After all, you put in a lot of effort to be able to get here today" I sneered, staring back at her livid face. "What are you still doing here? We no longer have any relations with you. So, you are not entitled to stay in our house anymore," Alexander growled. I cackled.

"I won't stay even if you beg me to. I'm leaving this house for good," I vowed.

"Good riddance," Hailey muttered joyfully.

I took a look around the room, in the living room. The place I've seen almost all my life but still felt like a strange place filled with emptiness and sadness. They also made fun of me at prom and I ran away in tears. But, not today. No tears today.

"All my life, I've never known true happiness or love. All I have ever known was sadness, pain, and despair, and I swear that you all will feel the exact same way. You will feel the pain you all caused me. You will know what it feels like to suffer in agony. You all will never be happy," I uttered bitterly. My eyes were cold and filled with determination.

Philip scoffed. "Since your little pity story didn't work, you are cursing us? Did you think that the moon goddess would listen to a dirty, tainted person like you? Who only knows how to curse at people,' he said.

I shook my head. "It's not a curse. It's simply Karma. Haven't you heard of that word before? What goes around will surely come around," I said.

"Don't listen to her. She's spouting nonsense. She is just trying to mess with your head," Hailey said.

I left them and walked towards my room. I slammed the door with a bang. I sat on my bed. As much as I hated to admit it, what happened downstairs really hurt me. I thought the boys and I had something special going on, only to end up being dumped like that. I can't believe they really believed Hailey over me. The truth was right in front of them, yet they didn't see it.

They had promised to always be with me, be there for me, but that was all a lie. They lied to me only to break my heart all over again. I must be the fool to keep forgiving them and giving them the chance to hurt me over and over again. But, all that is over now. I'm done with them treating me like a fool when I'm not one.

As soon as they all leave the living room, I'm going to leave not only this Packhouse but this pack forever. I'm going to follow my initial plans before I found out that they were my mates. I'm going to follow my dreams just the way I had made them out to be. I'm going to live a happy and fulfilled life without having them by my side. This time it's done, we both accepted the rejection and there was no way we could go back on it. Not after the hurtful things we all said to each other.

Immediately I heard nobody walking or talking in the living room. I took the small bag that I had packed with a few of the clothes I owned. I only took the one I owned, I didn't take any of the things the boys bought for me. I dropped the cell phone they had gotten for me on my bed. I wanted absolutely nothing that had to do with them. I changed out of my uniform into another pair of clothes. With one last look at the room that has sheltered me when I was battered and bruised, the room that had provided me comfort away from my harsh reality. I turned around and left. I walked through the living room towards the door.

With my hand on the doorknob, I fought the urge to cast one last glance toward the boys' rooms. But, I willed myself not to. This was the first step towards my freedom and forgetting about them. I shouldn't ruin that by turning around and being weak all over again. I sighed and pushed the door open, without turning around, I walked into the darkness away from the house that had given me nothing but pain, misery, and sadness.

Tonight was the night to start all over again. I was going to replace my happiness, my place in this world, with no one to stop me. I was alone and a bit scared, but it was nothing. I had to be strong for myself. I've been through worse than this. I embraced myself as the icy wind made my body chilled, almost frozen. I walked aimlessly in the night without the slightest idea of where I was going. I had completely forgotten how chilly it was in the middle of the night these days.

Was I too rash? Should I have waited until morning before I left? Would they have even stopped me if they knew I wanted to leave?. That was what I definitely didn't want to replace out the answer to. Remembering their insults and how coldly they had gazed at me, I was completely sure they would have thrown me out by themselves, which was why I left. I wanted to keep the little dignity I had left intact.

The cold wind whooshed around me, almost making my cheeks numb. I placed my hand deep into my coat and wrapped it tighter around me. I continued to walk, I had to make it out of there. My stomach rumbled loudly, reminding me that I'd had nothing to eat for the past two days. I suddenly heard a loud growl. I turned around anxiously. It was no news that some rogues roamed outside the borders of the pack at night. I checked carefully, but I didn't see anything. I continued walking, thinking that I must have heard wrong. Only to hear the growl again, louder and closer this time around. I was still within the borders, right? So, why were they still following me? I didn't quite understand, but I heard some sort of spell was cast around the borders to stop rogues from invading. I gulped anxiously. Maybe I shouldn't have let anger get the best of me, I should have at least taken my cell phone along, then perhaps I would have had someone to call in case things turned out badly. I definitely didn't want to end up as a snack to some bloodthirsty rogue. I walked faster, but it felt like the growls were only coming closer. I took a look at where my leg was. My heart raced faster when I noticed that I had unconsciously walked away from the borderlines. I sprinted into a run, in order to get back to the other side before the rogues got to me. I just got my freedom, I absolutely didn't want to die now.

"Oh moon goddess, please save me. I really don't want to die now. Not when I've just gotten a taste of freedom," I thought as I ran fast and hard. I reached a crossroad and just when I placed my feet on it trying to get to the other side of the woods, I heard a loud horn. I turned towards the blinding beam of light with my heart in my mouth. After everything I had been through, was this how I was going to leave this world? By having a car accident?

Was I really born with an ill fate? It was already too late to try to run out of the road, the car was coming towards me at such a fast rate. It was through what people said that your life flashes right before your eyes before you die. All the events that had happened to me, flashed before my eyes right before I snapped them shut waiting for my inevitable doom.
