Tossed Between Her Defiant Mates By Alexis Dee
Chapter 56 In Protection Of My Mates
I observed her hunching over me, her h*and raised to strike once more. In that moment, I deeply regretted my frozen state and wished I had defended myself, rather than relying on someone else for protection. However, before her second slap could land, my mates rushed in and positioned themselves between us, thwarting her attempt.
Caspian let out a grunt as he forcefully pushed her aside, and Emre stepped forward, delivering a powerful punch that sent her sprawling to the ground. The entire sequence of events unfolded so rapidly that I found myself unable to react or even voice my bewilderment.
Why on earth did she come here and strike me? What could be the reason behind her anger? Was it because I had married her boyfriend? But I had no inkling of his relationship with her. Moreover, why had she chosen this moment, after so many days, to exact vengeance on me for something I hadn’t even done? These questions swirled in my mind, but the answers remained elusive.
As the chaos unfolded around me, nothing seemed to make sense. My mates had taken charge and were now forcefully dragging her out of the cabin. Her screams echoed at their loudest, but Caspian had a firm grip on her hair, and Emre looked prepared to deliver further retribution. Despite feeling shaken, I managed to collect myself and hurriedly made my way outside.

Once outside, I found her sitting on the ground, tears streaming down her face, while my mates stood guard, ensuring she wouldn’t attempt to rise again.
“Who is this woman?” Emre’s voice boomed with anger as he directed his question at Caspian. Then, turning his attention to her, he unleashed a torrent of fury, “You’ve got some nerve coming here and laying a f*inger on my girl!” His aggression was palpable, and it was evident that his emotions were raw and unfeigned. His fists were clenched, and he breathed heavily, visibly rattled by the whole incident.
“I know her,” Caspian stated, shaking his h*ead in recognition of the girl’s identity.
“Don’t tell me she’s your girlfriend. I’ll beat you to a pulp for letting her loose on Genevieve,” Emre’s anger flared as he confronted Caspian, now armed with some answers.
“She’s not my girlfriend,” Caspian retorted swiftly, raising his h*ands in a defensive gesture. “She’s Bellamy’s girlfriend,” he added, hoping to clarify the situation.
Emre scoffed loudly, clearly not buying into the explanation. “Why the heck would this girl barge into our home and harm her?” Emre’s frustration erupted once more, while Caspian hunched down to Ariel, his concern evident in a deep groan.
“What the f*uck were you thinking? You want to get yourself killed?!” Emre’s voice thundered as he screamed in her face, compelling her to uncover her face from her h*ands and look at him. As she turned her gaze towards me behind him, my heart pounded in my chest, anxious about what she might say next.
“Your mate has been sending my boyfriend her nudes, asking him to come f*uck her,” she yelled at the top of her lungs, causing me to gasp in disbelief. It was an outrageous lie.
“What?” I stammered, shocked by the audacity of her accusation. Both of my mates slowly turned to face me, their expressions a mix of concern and frustration.
“I never said that. Why would I send him my nudes when we literally live under the same roof? If I want to be i*ntimate with him, I’ll just do it,” I responded firmly, mustering the strength to defend myself against the humiliating claim.
“This woman is lying,” Emre warned her sternly to silence her fabrications.
“I saw her pictures in his phone,” she retorted, her nose bleeding and l*ips busted from the earlier confrontation.
“And so what?” Caspian hissed, “She is his wife and his fated mate. I’m sure he has told you about it, right?” he added, looking at her intently. I observed her gulp nervously before she shot a glare in my direction.
“That’s part of the contract!” Her ignorance was so profound that she seemed indifferent to whether her mate stayed with me. What they desired from the contract held greater significance for them.
“Well, then you should be aware that within that very contract, it explicitly states that we are entitled to sleep with her and fulfill her desires whenever she pleases,” Caspian did most of the talking, especially since it pertained to the terms of the contract.
“But Bellamy would never do it,” she shook her h*ead, a look of disgust crossing her face as if the mere thought of Bellamy sleeping with me was utterly repulsive.
“Go and ask your boyfriend that question. You have no right coming here and insulting her. Do you even know she could call the guards on you and have you arrested for assaulting the princess?” Emre squatted down, emphasizing that there were certain boundaries she should not cross.
“You are his friends. Why are you defending her and not your friend’s girlfriend?” Just when she realized nobody was on her side, she began to cry. It was ironic because she had come here to beat me up but ended up getting beaten instead, and now she was feeling humiliated.
“Where the hell is this Bellamy?” Emre didn’t bother comforting her as he stood up. When he turned around and saw me, his expression softened.
“Hey, come here,” instead of addressing the ongoing situation, he quickly extended his h*and toward me, not even waiting for me to reach out. He held my h*and and pulled me close, hugging me tightly.
“Seriously?” I heard Ariel’s voice full of surprise.
“I just told you she was messaging my boyfriend, and I caught her under him, and you’re hugging her to comfort her?” I suppose it was shocking for her to witness my mates sharing me and not displaying any signs of jealousy when I was with one of them. It was as if they fully supported me without question.
“Here’s what’s going to happen now. You will get up, apologize, and leave,” Caspian finally spoke up, his tone remarkably calm.
I wasn’t entirely sure he would confront her like this for my sake. From what I remembered, he was quite friendly with Bellamy and respectful of his girlfriend. “You want me to apologize to her?” Her tone grew increasingly incredulous, as if she couldn’t believe it.
Before she could argue any further, we heard the main culprit join us.
“What’s going on here?” Bellamy’s voice filled with concern as he witnessed Ariel on the ground, looking disheveled and distressed.
“Hey!” I saw him rush towards her and kneel beside her.
“Your mate told her mates to beat me up,” Ariel explained, her words surprising all of us. And then, unexpectedly, she started wailing and hugging herself.
