Day Twelve: Caught Between Them
1071 Words
“I think it’s my turn to play.” My heart stopped for a brief moment, when his lips capturing mine. His kiss fierce, and possessive, just like his brother Aiden. I gasped, my body melting against his, my senses overwhelmed by his scent, his taste, and his touch.
Alpha Axel kissed me like he was claiming me too, his hands gripping my waist tightly to himself, his body pressing me against the wall. There was no gentleness, no hesitation. Just raw hunger, fierce, and it was consuming. So consuming!.
I should’ve pushed him away, should’ve fought him... but my body keeps betraying me, my heart racing as his lips moved over mine, his tongue claiming every inch of my mouth. He tasted like danger itself, his kiss was wild, and untamed, and his presence overwhelming just like his brothers.
I was drowning, lost in his touch, his scent, his heat. I hated him, I hated his games, and yet, I couldn’t resist him.
He pulled back, his eyes still darkened with desire, while his lips curved into a wicked smile.
“You taste like sin, little maid.” I panted, my body trembling, and my heart racing.
“Axel... I...” His finger pressed against my lips, silencing me.
“Don’t worry, Aria. I’m not like them.” His eyes gleamed with more hints of dark promises, secretly kept in store for me.
“I don’t fall in love. I just play.” My heart shattered, his words cutting deep. Of course, he was playing with me. I was nothing to him... just another toy for his amusement.
His lips brushed my cheek, his voice a low whisper.
“But be careful, little maid... playtime’s just beginning.” And then, he walked away, his laughter echoing down the hallway, leaving me breathless, shattered, and completely under his spell.
I sank to the floor, my body still trembling, and my heart breaking.
“How did I get tangled up in this mess? How did I fall for three brothers who were tearing me apart?
I was in too deep. And there was no way out”.

Dear dairy, it's days twelve. Days passed into months in a blur, but my heart is aching terribly with confusion, and longing. I couldn’t escape them…heir presence haunted me, with their touches lingering on my skin, and their voices echoing in my mind.
Asher’s gentle smile, his tender words of affection. Aiden’s fierce possessiveness, his passionate kisses that left me breathless. And Axel... his wicked smile, his dangerous game, the way he kissed me like he wanted to consume me.
Three brothers. Three Alphas. And I was caught between them, my heart torn, and my emotions tangled in a web I couldn’t escape.
Please don't judge me! I was a fool!. A weak, foolish girl who had no right to feel this way. I was just a maid. An orphan with a weak wolf. I wasn’t supposed to love them... any of them. But my heart wouldn’t listen.
I was falling for all three. And it was slowly destroying me.
I was dusting the hall corridor, when Asher found me a week later, his smile bright as he leaned against the doorframe.
“You’ve been hiding from me.” I froze, my heart racing.
“I... I haven’t… Alpha Asher! I have just been busy with house chores” I said, trying to be brave this time around. But instead, his eyes softened at my words, while his steps slow as he approached.
“You’re just a terrible liar, Aria. A good one at that!” He said, and I looked away, my hands trembling.
“How could I still have the mind to face him? After the way I ran from him... after kissing Aiden... and letting Axel... I swallowed back my words, shame burning through me. I was a horrible person.
His fingers brushed my cheek, his touch gentle.
“Why are you so scared?” I choked back a sob, my chest tightening.
“I’m... I’m not...” His hand cupped my face, his thumb brushing away a tear.
“I don’t believe that.” My heart shattered at kind gesture, his kindness cutting through me. I didn’t deserve him. I didn’t deserve his gentle touch... his loving words.
He tilted my chin up, his eyes searching mine.
“You’re so special to me, Aria. More than you know.” I couldn't hold back anymore. I broke down, my tears falling as I threw my arms around him, burying my face in his chest.
“I’m sorry... I’m so sorry...” He held me close, his arms warm, safe.
“For what?” Everything. For being weak. For falling for his brothers. For not being able to choose. But I couldn’t say that. I couldn’t hurt him like that. So I just cried, holding him tight, wishing I could be the girl he deserves.
I left Asher in the hall, my heart heavy with guilt. I was weak... pathetic. I should’ve pushed him away, should’ve let him go. But his embrace was so warm... so safe. I couldn’t let go. I stumbled down the corridor, my vision blurred with tears. But then I crashed into something hard... warm...and familiar.
Aiden’s hands gripped my arms, his eyes blazing.
“Where were you?”I flinched back, his anger washing over me.
“I... I was just...” I stuttered while he interrupted me immediately.
“With him.” His voice was cold, his jaw clenched.
“You were with Asher.” My heart raced fast, fear twisting in my gut.
“I... I wasn’t...” His fingers tightened, his eyes burning.
“Don’t lie to me, I hate when you lie!.” I trembled, my heart breaking.
“Aiden... please...” His face softened, pain flickering in his eyes.
“Why him?” His voice broke, his grip loosening.
“Why do you always run to him?” I looked away, my chest tightening.
“I... I don’t...” His hand cupped my face, his touch surprisingly gentle.
“Am I that horrible? That unworthy of your affection?” My breath caught up, his vulnerability slicing through me.
“No... you’re not…” His forehead rested against mine, his voice was a gentle whisper.
“Then why won’t you let me in?” Tears burned my eyes, and my heart aching.
