Chapter 168 - Bullied Mate Of The Alpha Triplets

Ember's POV

Five years later.

"Make sure the flowers are in their vases," I told a maid.

"Get the bows and ribbons," I said to another, almost screaming.

"Blue, I want blue! No other color!"

"Take the black one away."

"Where's the red curtains?"

"Claire! Get me the curtains," I screamed my head off as I ordered the maids around.

"You-"

"Yes, me," I heard a voice and turned around to see Lucas standing before me with a mischievous smile. He held my waist and bent to place a kiss on my lips, but I held his shirt, standing on my tippy toes, and deepened the kiss.

Lucas smiled and chuckled after I let him go. "You should've called for me earlier if you missed me this much," He said teasingly, and I playfully glared at him.

"What are you doing?" I growled at the maids, noticing they had stopped what they were doing and were staring at me and Lucas instead.

"Get to work already!" I grumbled, and Lucas chuckled. Hearing his laughter made me feel a little better, and I hugged him and pouted.

"What's got my wife so stressed out and grumpy?" He teased me, and I smiled. He knew how much I loved him, calling me his wife. It made me feel all giddy inside and reminded me that we were now one. I was now fully his, and he was mine in every way possible.

"Caleb and Tristen are returning today from the football academy. It's been five years, Lucas; everything has been perfect," I said to him, and he easily swept me off his feet. He carried me in his arms.

"Well, everywhere does look all shiny and cool; I think you've done more than enough here," He said, and I shook my head, my arms wrapped around his neck.

"It's not perfect yet, Lucas. There's still a lot to do," I argued.

"Yeah, a lot to do in our bedroom," He said, winking at me, and I turned red and clamped my mouth shut.

Lucas carried me to our room and stripped all of my clothes. He didn't hold himself back in devouring me and left me screaming for what felt like an eternity.

My eyes watered after he released in me and pulled out. I pushed air into my lungs, and he lay beside me while I stared at him; my body was spent, and all my energy was gone in only a few minutes.

"My darling wife," he called, with a look of adoration.

"My husband," I mumbled, reaching for his face and pulling him into another kiss. I could see his eyes light up, and he eagerly kissed me back.

"We shouldn't do that; I'll have you passed out if we go again," Lucas said, and I knew he was trying to hold himself back for me.

I nodded and wrapped the thick duvet around me. He got up and wore his clothes.

"I'll prepare a bath for you," He said, and I nodded and smiled.

"Thank you," I mumbled as I watched him disappear into the bathroom.

The last few years have been one of the best in my life. After what happened between Lucas, Tristen, Priscilla, and me, with our whole release almost falling off, Tristen asked for forgiveness, and Lucas and I forgave him.

We still didn't have the chance to talk to Priscilla or forgive her as she ran away after finding out she was pregnant for Tristen, leaving nothing behind.

This broke Tristen's heart, but it also made him want to work hard and focus on his future. The following week after Priscilla's disappearance, Tristen left for the Football College to start training with his brother Celeb.

It had been five years since he left, and he always made sure to call his mom, the Alpha, Lucas, and me to check up on us and see how we were doing.

Celeb did as well, and from what we could see and hear, it seemed like those two were doing very well in college.

However, back here at the pack, Lucas and I graduated from high school a few months after Tristen left.

It was the best, and we both went to the same college for four years. Our love and bond grew stronger each day, and on our graduation from College, he proposed to me in front of our friends and his family.

I could remember that day clearly like it was yesterday. I had been awarded the title of the best graduating student, and I was teary and happy.

I was in my royal blue ball gown, a dress Lucas had helped me pick, and he was in his matching blue tux. I was gifted flowers and chocolates, everything I could think of, and it was one of my happiest memories.

When I thought everything was over. While taking graduating pictures, Lucas came over with a little box in his hand and went on one knee.

The girls around started screaming as soon as they noticed what was happening, and I started to tear up. I couldn't hold it back, and I was already in tears before he even popped the question.

"Ember, from the moment I got to know you, I could tell you were special; I knew it was you. I fell in love with you the moment I saw your radiant smile. Everything about you, from the way you talk to the way you walk, your beautiful eyes that always seemed to see through me. Your voice that always soothes me, words can't describe how much love in me there is for you." he said, his eyes sparkling while I sobbed even harder.

"You light up my world in ways I never thought possible. You changed me in ways I never thought you could. You made me a better version of myself. Every day, I bless the moon goddess for making you my mate. Ember, I promise to love you till eternity and beyond. Will you do me the honor of being my wife and the mother of our children? Ember, please, marry me?"

My eyes were filled with tears as they ran down my cheeks. I stared at the beautiful ring he held out. It was a little gold ring with a pink emerald Jew on it. Just like I had described when he asked me years back, he listened and paid attention to the little details.

I couldn't believe this was happening! Lucas, my other half, my soulmate, wanted to spend forever with me. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. He wanted me to be the mother of his children.

My heart was bursting with joy and happiness.

I nodded, unable to speak, as tears streamed down my face. Lucas placed the ring on my finger, and I felt like I was floating in the air.

"Yes, yes, a million times yes!" I finally managed to whisper, my voice trembling with joy. I heard screams and applause from everyone. I had totally forgotten it was my graduation, and I was surrounded by people.

Lucas swept me into his arms, holding me close as we both cried happy tears. I felt like the luckiest person alive, knowing I'd spend the rest of my life with my best friend, my partner, my everything.

"I love you, Ember, so much," He whispered to me.

"I love you too, Lucas, more than my lips can tell."
