Mated To My Three Lycan Bullies

Chapter 3

(Mia's POV)

I narrowed my eyes at the three of them as they watched me approach. Their gazes followed my every movement as I walked toward the dining table.

A heavy silence hung in the air as I sat next to Liam. He was the youngest of the triplets, and he hummed softly, watching me like a hawk.

Feeling uncomfortable because Liam smelled strongly of coffee, I rose from the chair and moved to sit far away from them. Their eyes continued to follow me, but I didn't comment or ask them anything.

As the sound of the kitchen door unlocking echoed through the room, my mother walked out and smiled at them. "I will serve dinner now. Actually, my maid isn't around because I sent her to welcome her daughter's new baby. I will be back," Mom said as she emerged from the kitchen to check if we were getting along.

"It's okay, Chairwoman. Let's have dinner. My dad will be here soon, or we can wait for him," Luis said. He was the second triplet, and his deep voice made my thighs clench involuntarily. My mother smiled. "Alright."

Unlike Leon's voice, Luis's was sharp, deeper, and magnetic, making me uncomfortable. His face held no smile at all, and his eyes were calculated and sinister.

"Let me get dinner ready. You all can chat with Mia to enlighten her more about our pack. I will be back," Mom said, her tone mild as her lips curled into a smile. Her eyes met mine, signaling me to get along. Just as she swiftly strode through the kitchen door, she left me alone with the three bad boys.

"Mia, what a beautiful name for a beautiful bunny," Liam spoke first, his voice filled with teasing. I glared at him. "I know you three are bullies, but my mother will never marry your father. So, you better get that into your damn skulls," I replied coldly, my voice harsh. I didn't care. I had thought about it, but I could not live with them.

"Hmm," Leon said as he rose to his feet and approached my chair. I tensed in my seat as he leaned in next to my neck, his cool breath brushing the crook of it. "How about . . . ?" he began, whispering into my right ear. I shivered. "How about I tell you that we want to marry *you* instead of your mother?"

"What?" I jumped away from the chair as if my whole body were on fire, my cheeks burning hot. I glared at Leon. He was the oldest of the triplets. He must be joking, right? I looked into his face and shifted away from the dining table. Then I glanced at the other two boys. Their faces were neutral, their eyes calm, so I couldn't tell if they were annoyed or thinking the same as Leon.

"Stay away from me, you ásshole!" I yelled at Leon, glaring at him. I couldn't believe he was proposing to marry me. These three men had many young women in the academy ready to serve them, but not me. I wanted to be an advocacy for women to learn to stand up for their rights. They could not be subjected to slavery and worshipping men for their dícks.

Leon smiled and returned to his seat. "I am just kidding, haha," he laughed handsomely, raising his hands in surrender. But my brows furrowed at him. My heart was beating erratically, and I warned him in a stern voice, "Do not come close to me again!"

Luis and Liam were quiet as they watched me, but I felt their eyes digging into me. My legs quivered, and my entire body was still hot from Leon's earlier closeness.

As I wanted to disappear from the dining room, my mother stepped out of the kitchen, carrying a tray of dinner in her arms. She looked at us in surprise, seeing me standing, and asked, "Mia, is anything wrong?" Leon had already sat back down, and before I could say a word, the doorbell rang. My mother rushed to the dining table and set down the large white tray of food.

"Mia, hurry up. Check who is at the door. I am sure Alpha David Oscar has arrived," Mom said, her face excited. Seeing my mother's happy expression, I frowned and glared at the three boys, who were looking at me. I forced my feet to move and went to pull open the living room door.

To my shock, an older version of the Triple L stood at the door and smiled at me. "Hi. You must be Mia, right?" he asked, noting my shocked face. He smiled as I stepped aside to let him enter the living room. He wore a black suit and looked breathtakingly handsome.

"Good evening, sir. I am," I said, smiling as I accepted his handshake while he walked in. He was a middle-aged man, but he seemed more polite and humble than his three sons.

"It's nice to meet you, Mia. You look so beautiful, just like your mother," he praised me, shaking my right hand. I blushed. "Thank you, sir," I replied, and my mother walked up to the living room to welcome him.

"Welcome, babe," Mom said as she hugged Alpha David Oscar. I stole a quick glance at the Triple L's faces to see their reaction as their father hugged my mother and kissed her lightly on the forehead. Except for Leon, Luis and Liam frowned, showing they didn't approve of my mother as their stepmother. But when they saw me smirking at them, they smiled at me for the first time, and my heart exploded, throbbing faster. I quickly glanced away.

"Come on, Mia. Let's have our seats while I set up the meals," Mom said, her voice soft as she gestured for us to sit at the dining chairs while she served the table. Leon sat across from me, while his father and my mother sat next to each other. Luis and Liam sat to my right, as the dining table had six chairs. This was the first time the dining room had felt so full. Before, it had just been me and my mother.

Mom served the delicious meal of fried rice and chicken before pouring drinks for us and sitting back next to Alpha David. "How do you like the meal, Triple L?" Mom asked them as Leon took the first bite with his spoon. Luis and Liam were quiet, holding their spoons as well. Luis sat between me and Liam, across from his father, while my mother sat across from Liam.

But Leon caressed my left leg under the table, and I glared at him, shifting my leg back under my chair. Leon smiled and said, "It's delicious, Ma."

"How about you both? You haven't tasted the meal yet," Mom asked, her voice full of concern as her eyes darted to Luis and Liam, who sat next to me.

"You seem to care more about the boys than me, babe," Alpha David complained in a sweet voice, looking at my mother lovingly. Mom blushed and said, "I know you will not tell me the truth about my food. You will always speak well of me. I personally prepared this fried rice and chicken, and I wanted to see how your sons like it."

Mom shifted her gaze to us and peered at Luis, who sat next to me. Luis had the same coffee smell as Leon. He dipped his spoon into the jollof rice on his plate and took a bite, just like Liam, as I watched their faces.

"It's nice, Chairwoman," Luis said, and their father scowled. "Luis, haven't I warned you three to learn to call Lucy 'Mom'? She will be your new stepmother, and it's only respectful to call her Mom," Alpha David snapped, his voice thunderous. I peered at him in shock.

Mom quickly placed her right hand on Alpha David's left hand to calm him down. "It's okay, babe. I am not upset that they call me Chairwoman. That's what I am in the academy."

Alpha David scowled and looked at my mother's face. His voice softened as he said, "I want you to be my wife. I know the three of them are stubborn. I can send them away, but I want to marry you. It's been 22 years since Esther left me. Don't you think I tried and deserve to be happy?"

Mom smiled sadly and replied, "You tried, but our children are a part of us. If they do not approve of us, we cannot force it."

"Mm," Alpha David said, his fist clenching around his spoon. Mom whispered in his ear, leaning in close, "We will still be friends and give them time to get along."

"No. They are naughty boys, and I cannot give them any time. Do not worry about them. Once they find their mates, they will leave us. I already made up my mind for us to live together, Lucy. I love you very much, and I want you as my Luna by my side," Alpha David insisted, holding my mother's hands lovingly.

I peered at Leon's face to see his expression regarding his father's statement. Leon frowned and looked at me. Once our gazes locked, I smirked, and his eyes narrowed. Looking at his father and my mother holding hands, Leon smirked and said, "Dad, we approve of you and Madam Lucy getting married."

"What!" I gasped, along with Liam and Luis.
