"Allow me to introduce you to my children, Mia. Sons, allow me to present Mia, she'll soon become your dear step-sibling," said the parent, gesturing towards the table.
Three imposing figures, tall, strong, and muscular, took their seats, clearly sons of their father's lineage. As I observed them, memories flooded back – Quinn, Jack, and John, the triplets who had tormented me during high school. It seemed almost surreal to think that these men could now embody a protective, older-brotherly figure.
Despite their physical presence, I couldn't shake off the fear that lingered from our past encounters. I wondered if it was wise to harbor any affection for those who had once belittled me. However, here they were, acting as caring individuals, a stark contrast to the menacing wolves I had encountered in my dreams.
I learned that they were part of the Navy, and somehow, this new context seemed fitting. I secretly wished that they would experience the same treatment they had inflicted on others, hoping justice would come their way.
To my surprise, later on, they acknowledged me as their mate, requesting, "Let's keep this between us, sis. We promise to cherish and protect you."
