Filed to story: Triplet Alphas’ Secret Love
“Do you think your Mom hates me?” I asked.
“She doesn’t,” said Calix. “She’s afraid you’ll hurt us.”
I wanted to roll my eyes. They had hurt me.
“She felt as though your Dad, her little stepbrother, was taken away from her and ruined by your Mom,” explained Alex, his tone gentle and apologetic. “She was upset when she realised we belonged to you like your Dad had belonged to your Mom. She felt she had let trouble in her house again.”
The Luna was not just a snob who was indifferent to her servant. She had cold calculated reasons behind her dislike of me. Reasons she had hid from me my entire life. That made her unforgivable in my eyes.
“What does the Luna think my father would think of how I was treated by her and you all growing up? I asked.
They all squirmed guiltily, Felix included this time.
“Any good father would be outraged but your father isn’t exactly a good father, Baby,” said Felix.
“What?” I asked, narrowing my eyes.
“Baby, he left you,” Felix said softly.
“He was protecting me from something!” I insisted, fighting back the tears and springing up off of the bed to storm away.
“ENOUGH!” Bellowed Felix so powerfully I almost fell over.
Alex stiffened. Calix regarded him with wide shocked eyes.
“You’re going to be the Luna of our pack and you have to grow up, Baby!” Demanded Felix. “Your father and mother were irresponsible. They had substance-abuse problems. None of this would have befallen you or them if they had made different choices. If you’re gonna hold us accountable, you’re gonna hold them accountable too. Your parents were not a fairytale, Baby!”
His yell had made me sit back down. The tears streamed slowly down my face. Alex was rubbling my back gently. Calix squeezed my hand.
“I can always count on Felix to make sure I never stay the least favourite for long,” Calix said brightly, trying to lighten the mood.
Felix rolled his eyes and folded his arms, still standing. Alex was silent.
“I know they were addicts, ok,” I said even softer than a whisper. I knew they heard me, being alphas and based on their worried expressions. I crawled to the middle of the bed and got under the covers. They all moved to come cuddle with me.
“Please, I just wanna take a nap, by myself,” I mumbled into the pillow. “I won’t change rooms but I want to be alone right now.”
Alex sighed deeply. He rubbed my lower back and kissed my cheek gently. “Sleep tight, Luna,” he murmured in my ear. He left the room. I listened to his slow footsteps.
Calix gave me a bear hug and kissed both cheeks and my forehead. “I’ll be back, Goddess!” He hopped off the bed and followed Alex.
It was just me and Felix now. I could sense him. I could smell him. I could feel how tense he was.
“I shouldn’t have yelled like that. Baby…I know you want your parents. I want you to have that chance but don’t go running off to do it. I’ll help you,” Felix said.
I shot up into a sitting position and stared at him. “You mean that?”
Felix nodded. I launched myself at him wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. He caught me and held me tightly in his strong arms. He sighed into my curls and buried his nose in them, inhaling my scent. He rocked me a little.
“There’s one condition,” Felix said. I stiffened.
“You’re not leaving with them, once we find them,” Felix said. I relaxed a little, realising I was grown up now. I couldn’t exactly just redo my childhood. I could get to know my parents as an adult if I could find them.
“What if they’re not…” I couldn’t bear to finish that question. They just had to be. I needed them to be alive.
Felix sighed. “Well, by find them, I mean find out the story, what happened? Even…who did it if they’re…you know. And it’s no big deal to kill the people responsible.”
“What?” I yelped.
Felix chuckled. “Baby, you’re mated to three alphas. We have a huge pack to protect from rogues, vampires, wizards, witches, human werewolf hunters. You think we’ve never killed before. Even baby-boy Calix?”
Calix…kill?
I stared at Felix, remembering him saying he had went easy on me my whole life. Is that because he killed people who crossed him and the pack? In actuality? My wolf was grumbling like I was an i***t. Of course, alphas had to kill sometimes. That was why they were given such strength and speed to protect the pack from rival predators. I felt like I understood the triplets a lot better. They were cuddly teddy bears with me compared to how they acted when on pack business. I had just never seen any of that.
“I don’t want you killing anyone to avenge my parents if it puts you and my other two alphas in danger,” I said. I could not lose my mates. What if my parents were already lost to me? I had contemplated walking away from them many times but now that Felix was offering this vengeance, I was terrified for his wellbeing and that of Alex and Calix.
“And,” said Felix sternly, “Your pretty little ass stays home while my brothers and I do the digging and the dirty work to get to the bottom of everything!”
“Why…” I began.
“That part is not up for discussion,” Felix said eyes turning black. Rather than feeling afraid or offended, my core got wet and Felix smirked, enjoying the effect his display of dominance had on me.
He tossed me onto the bed. I squealed but it didn’t hurt. I giggled waiting for Felix to pounce on me.
“I’ll leave you to your solo nap, Baby,” Felix grumbled.
I pouted.
“It’s what you asked for!” He exclaimed.
I curled up in the bed.
“My brothers and I suddenly have a lot of work to do, Baby,” said Felix turning to leave. “See you tonight, Princess.”
“The things I do for love!” I heard Felix exclaim dramatically as he walked out into the hallway to go convince his brothers. Would the triplets really track down my parents? Or my parents’ enemies? The people who made them leave town. My wedding present might be a hit on some fiend or something. I sighed lying in the empty bed. What had I just asked Felix to do?
Third Person
“Essentially what you’re saying is you promised Chasity that we’d track down her parents if they’re alive or kill her parents’ killers to avenge their deaths of they’re dead,” said Alex, the eldest and most level-headed of the triplet alphas.
“Sounds like a cool movie plot. I like it,” said Calix encouragingly. The youngest alpha was sweet and optimistic as usual but missing the point.
“Yeah, I promised her that because it’s what she wants most and what we want most is her. Until the chapter with her parents has some kind of conclusion on it, she won’t be full present in the relationship,” explained Felix, shocking his brothers. Middle child, reckless Felix had thought this true. He was making a lot of sense but Alex and Calix were not used to this side of Felix so they fell silent.
After a few tense moments, Calix said, “I think we should do it. We owe her that much, but how are we going to get Mom to be ok with this.”
“We don’t need to tell her!” grumbled Felix as though that were obvious.
“We might, yeah,” said Alex. “We’ll need more information on Chasity’s parents like who their old friends are, where their old haunts are.”
Alex was right. They needed leads. The case was nine years old and their mother was the only lead they had right now.
“Calix, are you willing to sweet-talk Mom into being ok with this?” Asked Felix.
“Don’t tell her about the avenging their deaths part if they’ve been murdered! Just tell her about the finding out what happened for Chasity’s peace of mind part,” Alex explained.
Calix nodded. “I can do that.”
“Work in how if Chasity finds out enough about her parents, she’ll be content enough to stay, thereby safeguarding our triplet hearts!” Said Felix.
“Good angle!” Commented Alex. “Mom will eat that up!”
“You got this, Calix!” Added Alex.
“Come through Baby boy Calix!” Cheered Felix.
