Filed to story: Triplet Alphas’ Secret Love
I rolled my eyes. December had finally come and I was on Winter break. The pack house had been decorated in silver, white and icy blue. There were wreaths and garlands hung everywhere. There was a huge Christmas Tree that the Triplets had decorated themselves. The tree ornaments were all so cute: gingerbread men, elves, Santa, Mrs Claus, reindeer, snowmen and even yeti. I had never noticed how beautiful everything looked. Twinkling lights were strung up everywhere. We were having breakfast one morning when I decided to discuss an important topic.
“How much money do I still owe you guys exactly, Alpha Romeo and Luna Ronnie?”
I did not feel comfortable addressing them any other way though the Triplets were now the Alphas. The Triples stiffened. Romeo and Ronnie looked surprised. The cooks and maids were eavesdropping nearby.
“Nothing,” barked Alex, glaring at his parents. “You owe them zero dollars and zero cents.”
“No, you still owe a lot,” said Felix, surprising me. “But I’m the Alpha now and I accept kisses as payment.”
I rolled my eyes. Calix laughed.
“I really want to know, please,” I said.
Romeo sighed. Ronnie looked at me.
“Your parents owed us about a quarter of a million dollars,” she said.
“Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, ok, and how much have I worked off?” I asked.
“We would have paid you about $500 a week,” said the Luna.
“So that’s $500 times 52 weeks a year for 9 years cause I never took my vacation or sick days,” I said, laughing awkwardly at my own silly joke.
The Triplets were not laughing.
“That’s $234 000!” I said. Wow, I had almost paid them off. The Luna smiled.
“To pay off the remaining $16 000, I’d have to work 32 more weeks,” I said.
“That’s about 8 months. If I kept working I’d be almost totally done when high school is over. I’d just have one more month to go,” I explained.
“Great math, Baby,” said Felix. “But you won’t be working anymore. I’ve already told you this. Please don’t defy me.”
I sulked. I was happy to be free of working but what if I wanted to leave after high school and they suddenly wanted their money? I was not working under the assumption that I would marry the Triplets and therefore be family so all debts were forgiven.
“What if I left after high school and went my own way, would you still feel the same about me not working?” I asked hesitantly.
The Luna was looking at her sons in an “I told you so” sort of way.
“Yes, I would,” said Felix, shocking me. “You’re done working here. You’re not obligated to be with us but your housekeeping days are over. I told you that already and I don’t like repeating myself. I’m only humouring this conversation because you’re my mate. You can ask my brothers how I act with pack members who defy me. You think you’ve seen the worst of me but I’ve went soft on you your whole life, trust me.”
Felix was even gruffer with pack members who defied him? What did he do? Kill them? Breakfast continued awkwardly. I got up without asking to be excused and just stormed out of the house, still in my pyjamas. I heard Felix roar and I knew he was coming after me. I was crunching through the snow when I was lifted suddenly. Felix swung me over his shoulder and carried me to his room. He tossed me on the bed.
“I hate you!” I screamed.
“I love you,” he said softly.
We stared at each other for a few moments. I got up and went to him. He embraced me warmly. I sighed.
“You don’t owe us anything,” murmured Felix. “Not money, and not even love.”
I was crying in his arms but my tears of frustration turned to tears of relief.
“You should have never been made to work for us. Who asks a little girl to work off her parents debts? It never made any sense. It was wrong. And I’m ashamed of it. I’m struggling, Chasity. I’ve always thought of my parents as good people but they wronged you. That’s not the kind of Alpha and Luna I want us to be. I hope you’ll stay, Baby. I need you. The pack needs you,” Felix said.
I felt my something damp on my shoulder. Felix was crying! I kissed his tear-streaked cheeks and then I pressed my lips against his. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He kissed me with reckless abandon. We could taste each others’ tears as they continued to fall. I was soaring and though my wolf was elated, I did not do it for her. I kissed him for me. I was out of breath when I pulled away. Felix pressed his forehead to mine. Our noses brushed. Felix was panting.
“Stay,” he whispered.
I could not say yes yet but I knew I was in deep. I just held him.
That night the pack house hosted a Christmas party to which everyone was invited. I wore a red velvet dress Alex had gotten me. It was so pretty. I slow-danced with Calix. I had never been asked to dance before. We had not danced on our birthday with all the commotion. I felt beautiful being held and twirled by Calix under the twinkling lights. He walked me out to the porch after and pointed up. I knew what was up there before I even looked. Mistletoe. I smirked at him. He smiled at me, raising his brows. I nodded.
Calix pressed his lips to mine. His movements were slow and gentle. His lips felt soft and warm. He cupped my face in his hands. I had my hands on his shoulders. Warmth coursed through me despite the freezing winds and falling snow surrounding the porch. We broke apart. Calix was grinning from ear to ear and so was I.
I noticed Alex was missing from the party so I went to look for him. He was not in his room. I found him in my old room sitting on my old cot. It was such a surreal sight. I crept in, shutting the door. He looked at me sadly.
“You don’t know how sorry I am,” he said softly, but I did because my wolf was whimpering in response to the depth of his remorse. These guys were going to make it impossible for me to say goodbye to them. I remembered my parents leaving me, dropping me off at the pack house. My heart shattered that day. Is that how the Triplets would feel if I left them. Alex pulled me to him and buried his head in my torso. I hugged him. He pulled me onto the cot. It was so cramped. He was too huge to fit on it. I laughed.
“I love hearing you laugh,” Alex said.
I was quiet, my head resting on his chest. “Look at me,” Alex said. It was not a command but I obeyed. Alex’s lips came crashing down onto mine. I was not expecting this kind of urgency from him. His hands roamed my body. I moaned into his mouth and he slipped his tongue in mine. He caressed my tongue with his. Goosebumps sprang up all over me. He tilted my head back so he could get better access to my mouth. He sat up, never breaking the kiss, with me straddling his lap. He rocked me back and forth on his lap. I could feel how hard he was and my core moistened in anticipation of him. I broke the kiss, panting, and swiftly gave him another peck when I saw him frown. He smiled.
“Stay smiling like that,” I told him. “That’s an order!” I said, laughing.
Christmas Eve was peaceful. The slow outside was falling so slowly and soundlessly. It felt like being inside a snow globe. I had added my presents for the triplets under the tree. I had used the credit card they gave me to buy them. I also begrudgingly bought presents for their parents out of respect. The Triplets grandparents visited us. Their paternal grandparents were notorious snobs and they had never liked me. They were scarcely able to hide their horror at me being the triplet’s mate. Their paternal grandparents mostly just ignored me.
The triplets insisted that I slept in their room that night. According to Calix “waking up to me was the greatest gift”. He was so dramatic but his lines never ceased to amaze me.
I snuggled up to Alex. Felix was behind me. Calix was on Alex’s other side. I could not believe I had kissed all three of them. I wondered if they had told each other about that. Since my first kiss with each of them, I had been keeping my distance a little out of sheer shyness. Now, I was enjoying their body heat.
“Do I get a goodnight kiss?” Whispered Felix in my ear.
I turned around to face him. The Alpha kissed me, relishing the moment, wrapping his arms around me tightly. He nipped my lower lip, making me gasp and granting his tongue access to my mouth. I moaned as he climbed on top of me and settled himself between my legs, grinding against me all the while never breaking the kiss. His hands rubbed my sides, squeezed my waist and finally tangled in my hair lifting my head closer to his. I pulled away, breathless and Felix grinned.
“You were very much worth the wait, Baby,” he whispered, still on top of me, nose to nose. I smiled. I had found out they were my mates on our birthday on November 11th but I had not kissed them properly until late December. I started to feel sleepy. Felix spooned me. I felt so warm and comfortable. He was whispering to me as I drifted off to sleep, telling me I was beautiful, that he loved me, that his brothers loved me, that he could not wait for me to bear his mark and his heir. I did not hear the rest. Sleep embraced me.
I woke up to find that the Triplets were already awake but lying in bed talking, waiting for me to wake up.
“You guys never wake up early,” I said sleepily.
“Except on Christmas Day, sleeping beauty,” said Calix.
Alex kissed me, his lips moving gently against mine. He sucked on my bottom lip and nibbled it. It felt so good. He pulled away and smirked at me. Before I could move in for another kiss, Calix hopped over and pressed his lips to mine with an urgency I was not expecting, lighting a fire in my lower belly. I was breathless when he was done. Felix pulled me to him, kissing me eagerly and tangling his hands in my hair. While we kissed, I felt Alex’s mouth on my neck, planting hot open mouthed kisses down to my shoulder. He nipped my shoulder making me squeal which granted Felix’s tongue entry to my mouth. Calix’s and Alex’s hands were now both roaming my body, squeezing my most tender areas. Felix broke the kiss and pushed me down flat onto my back in the middle of the bed. Three pairs of hands were now caressing me. My wolf thought it was a Merry Christmas indeed. The triplets did not undress me. They knew I was not ready for that but they massaged every part of me they could reach. Felix was kneading my breasts while Alex was squeezing my thighs and my butt and Calix rubbed my sides and my core through the thin fabric of my pyjamas. My underwear was soaked in no time. I was panting.
“Merry Christmas, Baby,” said Felix huskily, reaching down nibbling my lower lip.
“Merry Christmas, Chasity,” said Calix as licked and nipped at my ear.
“Merry Christmas, Luna,” said Alex raising my top and planting kisses on my tummy.
I giggled but quickly stopped in case it made their wolves go crazy. They were looking at me hungrily. I quickly extricated myself from them before things got out of hand. They followed me to the living room. Their parents were already up, holding their mugs, and cuddling together. I was immediately transported back to Christmases of the past and how horrible and alone I had felt while the family showered each other with love and I cooked and cleaned. No one used to even say “Merry Christmas” to me let alone gift me anything. My first Christmas with them at age nine when I had not known any better, I had made gifts for the triplets in arts and crafts at school: little paper dolls. The Triplets had cast them into the fireplace.
I stopped dead in my tracks. The fireplace was ablaze. Felix immediately pulled me to him, sensing I was tense.
“Mmm, Baby, talk to me,” he said, tightening his arms around me.
“Chasity!” Called Alex, gripping my chin and trying to make me look at him.
“Look at me when I’m talking to you!” Demanded a sixteen year old Alex on Christmas morning.
I had overslept, crying myself to sleep, dreading another awful Christmas where I felt unwanted. I missed my parents. They had been junkies but they had always tried to surprise me with things. They had been like children themselves and the three of us would have fun and laugh when they were not too high to notice me.
“Are you even listening to us?” Asked Felix, grabbing my hand.
I had not made breakfast yet and the triplets were already done opening their gifts.
