Claimed By My Three Alphas
Chapter 110

AMERY

.

"And done. It's uploading" I exclaimed after successfully entering one of Quincy's art works in the competition. We had both been buried on this ever since I got here and I was glad that he was serious enough to put in the extra effort. The first stage was supposed to be held and judged online as per instructions. Then the eligible candidates who will be chosen, would then be sent an email if they had passed on to the next level. Quincy peeked into the laptop to see the work that i had done and so far, he was impressed with

me.

He took the laptop and scrolled through the website to see the content that's being displayed there. There were other art works from other contestants but I'm pretty sure that Quincy would beat them and come out Victorious. I could feel it In my guts that he would be chosen.

"This is nice." He commended my efforts. I seem to like this side of Quincy a whole lot and hopefully, it remains so.

"I know it is. I created it after all." I replied, priding myself in the little work while Quincy's eyes were searching frantically, trying to make sure that everything was in order. The sooner we launched his art work online, the closer we would be in achieving his goals. "I love it" Quincy stated, happy that everything was going exactly as it should be. Exactly as we had both planned it to go.

"I'll launch it and since my email is there, I'll be the one to receive any information or notification concerning the contest and I'll make sure to relay all the information I get to you. Is that okay?" I proposed and he nodded in approval.

"I like the idea. Launch it and please this should be between the two of us. No one else should find out about this okay?"

"Noted boss dude."

I successfully managed to launch the art work online, praying hopefully in my heart of hearts that Quincy gets accepted to it cause he is running out of time. The quicker he prepared for this, the better it'll be for him.

"It's on and now" I announced "Now we wait. It could take a couple of days or more."

"Okay" Quincy agreed even though deep down, I wanted it to be as quickly as possible.

"You don't look scared or nervous." I pointed out the minute I shut the laptop. "Aren't you a bit scared or worried about the possibility of you not getting in?"

"Why should I be?"

"Because it's a contest and a lot of people are applying as well. A lot of good people." I added with a deep sigh.

"Do you trust that I can get in? Based on my merits?"

I hesitated. "Of course I do. More than anything. I believe in your capabilities Quincy and if there's anyone who could do better at this, then it's definitely you Quincy. I have full faith in you."

"Then you don't have to be scared about anything. If you trust that I can win then I'm definitely sure that I can win too. I have never doubted myself. It's all I've got anyways." He said and rose up to his feet. "Do you want anything to drink?"

"Soda. I've been dying to have one lately." I answered and stood up to my feet as well. He noted with an arched brow before making his way outside his bedroom, leaving me to follow.

"I know what you mean Quincy and I understand what you're trying to say but it's just that we humans, tend to overthink things sometimes. We tend to always way out the positivity from the negativities. Even if we know that deep down we have a clear shot at winning, we still like to keep an open mind should in case the worst happens. It saves us from a whole lot of heartbreaks." I explained to him as we got closer to the kitchen.

I stepped in after him and he walked towards the fridge to grab me my drink.

"You are right about everything you said. We werewolves also like to think things but then again we aren't scared to face what we have to face and that's why I am not human." He slammed the fridge shut with a smug grin on his face.

"Thanks for your help today Amery. If it wasn't for you then I don't know how I would have gone through this phase alone especially with Levi in school and Asher's sudden disappearance. I would have literally gone through an in-depth stage of boredom if it weren't for you" He chimed gratefully. "I'm so glad that we're friends Amery and I don't want to lose this bond that we share between us." He added and I swallowed hard. My guilt washed over me.

"Glad I could help and no, you won't lose me." I assured him.

"I'm going back inside. Would you like to join me?" He requested, throwing the plastic into the trash can.

"I'll be there. I just have to call my mom first to let her know that I'll be running late." I lied smoothly.

"Alright. Don't take too much time." He said conversationally before exiting the kitchen. The minute he left, I breathed out heavily. I don't like the fact that I was hiding something like this from Quincy. He had opened up to me about his parents and his life and now, I was hiding something like this from him. For how long would I go through this without getting caught? And the fact that Levi's face is saved on my screen is only making this worse. "Trouble in paradise?" Levi's voice boomed from behind me. I turned around to see him staring at me with his hands dipped down into his pockets. His hair was damp and fell down in the right places. He ran his hands through the thick mass to dishevel it.

I bit my lips at the sight in front of me. I had no idea anyone looked so good in a tank top until I met Levi. He pulls it off so effortlessly that it marvels me.

"I'm just..." I sighed deeply. "I'm just worried and thinking about a lot of things right now."

He approached me. "A lot of things like what?"

"I can't help but think about Quincy. I don't know what would become of him if he found out about us. About the fact that I lied." I whispered in a fearful tone.

"He wouldn't do anything because you won't tell him anything. Why is this even an issue? Aren't you the one who said we should hide it away from him so that he doesn't find out?"

"I know but then...with everything happening right now, I don't just feel good about it anymore." I placed my hand on my head as I paced around the kitchen. Levi stopped me and held me by my other hand.

"What's really going on with you Amery." He inquired, staring at me with intent. "I know that there's more to this and that it isn't just about Quincy"

I opened my mouth to say something but words weren't coming out. I was tongue-tied.

"Tell me what's going on with you." He demanded. "Rule number four, communication is key so don't hide anything away from me. What's really bothering you?"

"I just " I paused, and then. "I just really miss Asher right now. I can't help but wonder where he could be right now and I'm trying my very best to be brave and strong like everyone had told me to but it's just too hard." I pulled away from him. "I hate myself that I can't do anything to find him and everyday, I blame myself for being the cause of what had happened to him. Maybe if I had just agreed to what he had requested of me that day then..." My voice croaked. "Then maybe he would still be here right now. I just wish there was a way to get through to him and see if he was alive. There must be something I can do, anything at all. There, I said it." I threw my hands up in the air tiredly.

There was silence after my remark. A very deep and deafening silence before Levi decided to break it.

"Maybe there is." Levi primped. "Come with me." He ordered and I quickly followed him. We made our way into his bedroom and he quickly shut the door behind us making sure to bolt it.

"Why'd you bring me here?"

"You said you wanted to reach out to Asher, to see if he was okay and safe wherever he is. What if I told you that there's a way for you to do so?"

That piqued my interest. "Really? How? I mean... what are you saying right now?"

"You're going to try to connect to him Amery, like you did with me when you needed our help back then in my realm." He stated.

"Connect with him? How am I supposed to do that?" I asked, feeling a little bit confused.

"You share a very strong bond and connection with the three of us Amery. And if you can channel your wolf to search for Asher then you can actually connect with him to know if he's okay or not." He explained. "But how-"

"You miss him right now don't you?" He interrupted and I nodded my head.

"Longing makes our animal more feral. When we're most vulnerable, it makes it easier for us to connect to the people we love and care about." He lectured me. "Your wolf understands this so if you can connect to her with nothing but the thoughts of Asher in your mind then I'm very certain that you might channel that same energy into finding him. Do you want to give it a try?" He asked, raising a blindfold for me to see.

"But what if I don't find him?" I asked, scared of what the unforeseen outcome might be.

"We can't say anything for now until we try and you're the best person to do so because you're his mate too so do you want to?"

I nodded and laid down. "Let's find him." I said and he took it as his cue to wrap the blindfold around my eyes so that we could begin the process.
