Filed to story: Triplet Alphas’ Secret Love
“Ronnie loves me. She’ll make sure Chasity has a fighting chance. She’ll make sure she finishes school and has food and shelter. I can’t say if they’ll be close. Ronnie is a strange one. She hated her stepmother but took care of her for over six months of her being ill. She’s cold but she’s dutiful,” he said.
“I don’t like her,” she insisted.
“We can’t take Chasity. She’ll be in too much danger! We’ll call every now and then when we get somewhere safe to check up on Chasity!” He offered.
“And when will we get back to her?” She asked, looking up at him, tears falling down her cheeks.
“I don’t know,” he said, his voice cracking a bit. There were tears in his eyes.
They bundled me up in a warm coat and drove through the snow with me in the backseat of the car. It was night-time. It was dark. I was scared. I hated strangers. I was a shy girl. I had teddy. That was my only friend. I hated school and I missed a lot of days because Mommy and Daddy would be too unwell to take me sometimes. They would sniff the white powder. It looked like flour. That made them sick. They would smoke the rolled up paper and drink the drink that burned. I tried a sip once. It burned my throat and made me sick. Why were they making themselves sick? They had tablets that looked like candy. I liked chocolate but not candy so I did not try those. Those made them happy though. They would dance and laugh.
We pulled up to a huge mansion covered in snow. The snow kept falling like the tears on my cheeks. They walked with me to the front step. They put me on the porch. They hugged me tightly. I asked them to hug teddy. They hugged him and they cried some more. They blew kisses as they walked back to the car. They had left my suitcase with me on the porch. They gestured for me to ring the doorbell. They got in the car watching with the headlights on.
I pressed the doorbell. A little boy answered. He smiled at me. I liked his smile.
“Hi,” he said. “Are you selling cookies? I want three boxes for me and my brothers”
“No!” I sniffled, annoyed. “I’m supposed to ask for Luna Ronnie.”
“My mom?” The little boy asked. I shrugged.
“I’m Calix. My mom is Luna Ronnie. My father’s the Alpha!” He said. He was boastful.
I shrugged looking back at my parents’ anxious faces. They wanted me to hurry up. Something bad could happen
“Get Luna Ronnie now!” I said. Calix ran off to get her.
“Who is she to you?” Said another boy who came to the door. He looked the same as Calix. Twins?
“I don’t know,” I said. I didn’t know. I thought Ronnie was Dad’s friend or something. I had never met her. I didn’t understand the conversation I had snooped on earlier.
“I’m Felix,” said the boy.
“Ok, whatever, please get your mother,” I said.
Felix looked really angry but huffed away. Their Mother, Luna Ronnie came.
A third similar boy was peaking out. Triplets!
“Alex, go inside now!” She said. The third boy ran away. It was just me and her. She started to cry.
“What’s going on?” She sniffed. My father cried harder looking at her. He started to drive away. The Luna noticed my suitcase.
“Where’s he going?” She demanded, crying. I said nothing. I didn’t know.
“STOP!” She screamed. She ran into the snow. The car sped off. “Don’t leave! I can help you! Please! Don’t leave me! Chase! CHASE!!! DON’T GO! LET ME HELP YOU!!!” Luna Ronnie tripped and fell in the snow, sobbing, on her knees.
She stayed like that until the car disappeared in the darkness. She let the snow fall on her. I could see her breath. I was crying too but quietly. A man came outside and ran to the Luna. I could tell he was the Alpha. He picked her up and put her on their feet.
“Where are they?” He boomed.
“They’re gone,” she wailed, her voice hoarse from screaming and crying. The Alpha spotted me. He was big and scary. I was afraid.
“She can’t stay here!” The Alpha said.
I was scared. I knew unwanted children go to orphanages and people treat them badly and no one adopts them unless they’re babies. That’s what someone told me once when we watched Annie, a movie about orphans. Annie got adopted though. She was special and a good singer. I loved that movie.
The Alpha walked up to me.
“We’ll inform the pack police and they’ll organise what to do with her,” he commanded.
“No!” Said the Luna, walking up to the porch. A true Luna could not be commanded, even by her Alpha. I knew that. Every pack child was taught the basics about pack laws.
The Alpha was angry.
“She stays with us, until they come back for her,” she said.
They glared at each other.
“She’ll earn her keep,” he said.
“She can do chores,” mumbled the Luna.
“She’s not to play with my boys,” the Alpha said. “Think of the bad habits she must have.”
“She’s a little girl…” began the Luna.
“I don’t care. She can stay but she’s not our new daughter so don’t act like she is,” the Alpha said.
The Luna looked at me. “She looks like her mother anyway.”
“Hmph,” said the Alpha. He took my bag inside.
“Chase was a good boy before…he really was…a sweet boy…like my Calix,” Luna said.
“Yeah, sure, whatever,” the Alpha said near the doorway. “He’s not a good boy now. He’s a grown man with bad habits.”
The Luna walked inside.
I stayed on the porch, crying
“Hurry up!” Said the Luna. “Too much cold air is getting in.”
I went inside and she closed the door on my old life.
I extricated myself from Calix’s arms just as I realised we were still in a relatively deep area. I went under immediately but only for a split-second. Calix’s strong arms grabbed me and pulled me back up and against his chest. He cradled me to his chest while I spluttered, coughing up water. I immediately began to wriggle in his arms, annoyed.
“Take me back to the pool’s edge please now! I want to get out!” I squealed, feeling panicked.
Calix seemed dumbfounded. He hesitated.
“Take me back!” I shrieked. “Calix!”
He held onto me tightly. “I just want to talk to you, ok. Let’s talk about this!”
“Let me go!!!” I screamed.
A memory flashed before me.
I was under the ice in freezing cold water. I opened my mouth to scream and just gulped down cold water that burned my throat. The water was so cold it burned! Everywhere burned! Like I was on fire! I remembered being so shocked that the cold could burn you. I fought and struggled with all my might but I couldn’t get out of the water. I couldn’t push my way back out of the ice fishing hole for air because hands were holding me down in the water. I was terrified. Was this the last day of my life?
I let out a blood-curdling scream. Calix actually jumped away from me, startled. He had relinquished me finally but, of course, I fell under the water again. I had never really learnt to swim. Firstly because I never got lessons and secondly because once I realised I needed them, I was a burden to a new family and terrified of drowning after my experience being held under the water by my bullies, the triplets.
I did not stay under for long this time either. Strong arms grasped me again. I looked up expecting to see Calix but Felix was holding me, pulling me from the water. He scooped me up, carrying me bridal style, immediately out of the pool. My eyes searched for Calix who was still in the middle of the pool, looking shocked and mortified.
“What the f**k is wrong with you?” Bellowed Felix, glaring at Calix. “Didn’t you see her struggling in the water? She was screaming almost a minute now. I ran here as fast as I could. I thought she was alone in the pool or something. Now I see you’re here! What the f**k happened?”
