Chapter 108

Miguel's pov

I took in deep calming breathes, my racing heart finally stabilizing.

Finally, I let go of his body.

My eyes began to turn, the dizziness finally overtaking me.

I guess I will die of dizziness because the Alphas will be too jealous over hearing Manuel's voice, they wouldn't think to come get me.

"Miguel!" I heard the three of them shout before I fell into the river.

They finally came for me; although late, they came for me.

*

"Miguel, please wake up." 

"Please open your eyes. "

"Miguel please."

I slowly open my eyes, squinting a bit at the brightness of the room.

"You're awake?" Donald's voice is filled with happiness.

Am in the room they kept me in when I was rescued from my kidnappers.

I slowly sat up on the bed.

"Easy there," Damien  moved to help me sit comfortable, but I glared at him.

"Better keep those filthy hands to yourself," I said with clenched fist.

"Miguel, am sorry," he  bends his head "am really sorry. please forgive me?"

"I need to leave, mom will be dead worried about me," I made to rise from the bed, but the pain I felt from the exertion was enough to make me lie back on the bed.

"You can't leave,"  Donald says in urgency "I know you don't want your mom to see you in this condition. I called her and told her you will be staying with us for three days, and she was more than okay with it. "

I scoffed.

Typical mom. She must think us in good terms if am spending as much as three days with the triplets.

"Do you need anything? should I get you some water?" Damien looks at me in concern.

He must be trying to make peace with me.

I scoffed at that.

"Leave." 

they looked shocked at my words.

"What do you mean by that?" Donald asked after  he must have gotten over his initial shock.

"Seeing you three disgust me. It's either you leave now or I leave, you choose," I turn my face to the walls, not even bothering to look at them for fear I might change my mind.

"We will leave, you don't have to be the one leaving; you're injured" Donald forces a smile " we will be outside if you need us,"  he says.

I didn't even bother looking at them as they left. I kept my face towards the walls, and after a short while, I heard the door being shut, indicating their departure.

Only when am sure they're gone did I fully relax on the bed.

"Good riddance."I  sighed.

Am not angry with the Alphas for not believing me when I talked of being ignorant of Manuel's advances.

Am angry at them especially Damien for kissing a girl in my presence.

I will ignore the push he gave me, but the kiss is something that's smeared in my memory.

I don't think I will ever forget it.

A knock sounded on the door, and I turned towards it in anger.

"What don't you understand by leave me alone?!" I growled ( it's more like a kid's own compared to that of the Alphas) at the stupid Alphas.

"And how many times will I tell you to shut the hell up!" Bianca smiles as she walked in "  how's my baby boy?"

I roll my eyes at her " I thought you were the Alphas." 

She smiled " I know," she sits on the bed with me, but as sudden as she sat down, she stood up " I know, I know am not going anywhere near him!" She shouts.

" Possessive wolves," she murmured.

I smiled inwardly.

game on!

i pat the space beside me, my face as Innocent as I've perfected it to be

"I need your help with something,please sit."

She looks reluctant "as much as I don't like the Alphas, I don't want their wolves to emerge. They've been on edge for days now, ever since that night."

"Did you find Manuel's body?" this should have been my first question when I woke up.

She shakes her head "you were the only one in the river when Damien rescued you."

How possible can that be? how could he have disappeared from the river when he was there when I fell in?

" He's supposed to be in the river. Did you search around?" I sat up fully on the bed.

She shrugs " we weren't thorough in our search, all we were after was your safety."

That's a better explanation to the one she gave moments ago.

I nod

" why are you asking after him?" she looks at me in suspicion, and am sure the Alphas are close to my door, eavesdropping on our conversations.

"He was the one who killed Favour," 

"That's not true, Favour drowned in the same water we found you in. The Alphas were afraid History is trying to repeat itself a second time."

" It was indeed about to repeat again. Didn't you think it odd you found me in the same river she was drowned in?" I looked at her in question.

She nods "we were afraid something's in the river; something that calls out to your spirits."

"That's not true,"  I told her everything that have happened from the beginning to how Manuel almost killed me..

"That bloody son of a bitch!" Damien angrily flings my door open, his brothers close behind him, each boiling unrestrained anger.

"What didn't you understand from what I just said?" I glare at them "I don't want to see your face,"  I turned towards the wall.

" I will deal with that bastard,"  Daniel grits his teeth in anger.

" I've already taken care of him. I drowned him with my own bare hands," I looked at my two hands " but I wouldn't have done that if not for the help of the moon goddess, she came without me summoning her."

" The moon goddess?" Bianca asked in awe. Her voice sounds exactly like a curious chikd.

" Moon goddess?" The triplets says simultaneously.

I can picture how surprised they look.
