Her Triplet Alphas

Chapter 63

Chapter 2: Arguing with and about Chasity Alex’s POV

Felix was being secretive about something even with me and Calix. He kept excusing himself to talk onhis cell. Tonya was livid. The vibe between them was weird today. Not that it mattered. Tonya and Felixwere not fated mates. In fact, we would all have to leave our girlfriends when we found our fated mate,our Luna. I could scarcely wait to find her. I had hoped I would find her somewhere between eighteenand twenty years old. I was turning twenty-one and taking over as Alpha tomorrow with no Luna. Momwas tough to deal with at times but Dad would be lost without her. She had also given him us, his heirs.All of that was swirling in my mind while I was out drinking or perhaps it was the alcohol that producedthe swirling effect. I did feel a little bit giddy but it wasn’t easy for a werewolf, especially not an Alpha, toget drunk.

“Let’s call it a night,” I said. “It’s still early!” Whined Calix.

Avery giggled from where she sat in our booth on his lap. The girls were a lot tipsier than us. They haddriven to the pack house to see us this morning. They shouldn’t be driving home in this state.

“We should drop the girls home,” I said. “Our cars are at your place, Babe!” whimpered Sandra,nibbling on my ear. “You know I can’t live without my car!” She complained. “You shouldn’t be driving,” Isaid.

“Let’s go back to the pack house and then drop the girls home in their cars and then shift and runback!” Suggested Calix.

“Yes! Wolf run!” Growled Felix playfully. Ugh. No. “Ok,” I said unenthusiastically.

I was not in a running through the snow on all fours kinda mood. I wish I was curled up somewhere…with my Luna. Why was my wolf pushing thoughts of my Luna into my mind every five seconds? Weusually obsessed over this but not this much! Did he know something that I didn’t? Was she nearby? I

felt a bit excited. Maybe, I should shift soon and see if I can get a whiff of her or some clue. Our senseswere great in this form but they were way better in wolf form.

“Guys, let’s go!” I said, eager all of a sudden.

I got up and pulled Sandra up. She laughed at nothing in particular. Tonya was glaring at Felix becausehis phone was ringing again.

“Hey Keaton,” said Felix, walking quickly ahead of us. “Where are you going?” Snarled Tonya. “Just asec, beautiful.” called Felix.

“Come back here right now!” She said and she actually stamped her foot.

Yeah, she was not the one. I knew we weren’t stellar boyfriends to the girls we weren’t fated to oranything like that but we weren’t jerks. We made sure they were safe and relatively happy. Tonya wasalways pissed even when they were not in a fight. Sandra egged her on. Avery was honestly…a tadditzy. I didn’t think she understood enough things to have anything to get pissed or upset about.

I wondered what Chasity was doing. Her image flashed in my mind.

“I wanna go home! FELIX COME ON!”I yelled after him. He actually listened to me. “We need to checkon…the party planner,”i lied.

“Yeah…I wanna go home too…to check on the party planner,” said Felix, agreeing. I could sense hewas lying too.

We drove the girls back to the pack house. I drove slowly even through my head had cleared already.Felix sped through the snow like he was in Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift or something. Calix had thismeandering zig-zag way of driving which was super annoying and gave me anxiety. I hated driving

behind him. I couldn’t drive fast enough to be behind Felix. We arrived at the pack house where thegirls’ cars were but the girls were thirsty so we went inside.

“This is the party planner you wanted to check on?” Asked Tonya, clearly envious.

The party planner Ronda, a blonde woman in her thirties, eyed Tonya just as enviously. I knew a lot ofgirls wanted to be with us. I could understand that in a non-arrogant way: we were rich, they’d be luna,they’d have three Alphas catering to their needs and whims nonstop. Even if you had a fight with oneboyfriend, you could just go complain to your other two boyfriends and they all knew and approved ofeach other. It was a pretty nice package.

Tinstinctively looked around for Chasity. She was the party planner’s helper. She was made to helpwith everything even the birthday party preparation although it was also her birthday. I knew Mom andDad never got her anything. She sorta hated me so I didn’t feel that inclined to gift her anything inperson but I had been thinking of buying her some new clothes and pretending like they were Mom’sold clothes and fooling Dad into handing a basket of them to Chasity. Or maybe even Calix. She mightaccept something from him. She had a preference for him or at least hated him the least. I kept tryingto steer Sandra towards the door. She got the message.

“Girls, let’s go,” she said. She was kinda the leader of the other two.

Avery and Calix were making out and Ronda kept making a lot of noise with her prep, slammingcupboard doors and shaking bags of confetti and glaring at Avery. We drove the girls home in their owncars. They all lived in the same affluent residential area. We met up in front of Sandra’s house.

“Let’s do this,” said Felix, stripping shamelessly.

Trolled my eyes. I undressed and felt my bones break and reshape themselves until I was a massivedark wolf. Calix nipped me immediately in his wolf form and ran away meaning for me to chase him.The air was cold and crisp and the snow was nice and crunchy under my paws. I ran after him and

Felix bounded after us. It barely took a few minutes to reach the pack house. We were fast. I got ontothe porch in wolf form, sniffing about while my brothers shifted. They looked at me still in my wolf formlike I was crazy.

“Ok, we’re home now, Alex,” said Felix pointedly, dressing in clothes we always left in a hamper on theporch.

I was trying to pick up my Luna’s scent. I smelled Ronda who smelled of stale bread and hair dye. Ismelled Chasity, honeysuckle and roses. She had a beautiful scent but there was no seductive edge toit like my Luna would have but she was not of age so that was to be expected. I paused, thinking aboutthat. It couldn’t be. I probably just wanted it to be Chasity because she was beautiful and there alreadyand sassy and ignored me and I wanted her attention and…

Ugh stop it! I shifted. “You drunk, big bro?” Asked Calix worried. “No, little bro, I’m good,” I said with alaugh, grabbing a random outfit.

We went inside and Ronda was all smiles. I smiled at her politely and she beamed at us. “What’s up,Ronda?” Said Felix. “You know…I didn’t wanna say anything but Charity came home really late fromschool…” Felix’s POV “Where is she?” I demanded, immediately freaking out.

The afternoon school bus dropped her straight home, an arrangement I had secretly made with thedriver. I didn’t ask the same favour in the morning because I wasn’t busy then and I liked walking hermyself. I was gonna kill that guy! He was supposed to call me whenever she missed the bus! f**k!

“She’s here now…some girls dropped her home,” said Ronda.

Chasity actually had friends. She was so sullen. That was nice. Maybe, I shouldn’t kill the bus driver.Chasity crawled out from under the kitchen table. My jaw dropped. She looked…very…uh…womanly.Well, she would be a woman tomorrow I supposed. She looked gorgeous but I was annoyed. Shenever dressed up. This was for a boy! I just knew it! Some snotty nose horny grabby hands

motherfucker from that stupid high school. I was gonna scare the s**t out of him as soon as I found outwho he was.

“Leave it to us, Ronda,” I said, sneering at Chasity in her mini skirt and high heels. “We’ll punish her.”

If I waited till midnight when she turned eighteen, maybe I could put her over my lap and spank her. Mywolf liked that idea. We were in agreement for once. I could tell my brothers were shocked by her new

look too. She stood in front of the kitchen island.

“I’m sorry,” she said. “I had to do some extra math for Mr Johnson.”novelbin

She looked nervous. My wolf told me to go easy on her. Why should I? After all the stuff I’ve done forher, why should I condone this kinda thing? I didn’t want her with some loser boy from school. That wasa distraction. I knew she was bright and couldn’t afford college obviously but if she wanted to go, Icould do another fake sweepstakes or fake scholarship or something and pay for it. I didn’t want her faraway though! My wolf reminded me she didn’t know that I’d ever done anything for her. Oh yeah. Thatwas true.

“Ok,” I said, trying to be fair. I got closer to her. She smelled of roses as always with a hint of honey.Good no nasty male scent on her. Thank goodness!

“What’s all of this?” I asked her, gesturing to the tiny outfit.

She was wearing makeup and she had her hair was as beautiful as ever. She would draw too muchattention like this and then I would have to beat up some boy and then Dad would be pissed…

“My eighteenth birthday is tomorrow too. I’m just trying out how I wanna look,” she said with her eyesdowncast.

“Do you have a boyfriend, is that it?” Asked Alex, sounding angry. Exactly! Do you? “I’m too fat to get aboyfriend, remember?” She said sassily referencing our earlier exchange.

My wolf turned on me, his anger at my insult from this morning reigniting. He told me to apologise toChasity. Calix was quiet, just smiling at Chasity, his eyes lit up.

“Don’t play games with us,” I said softly. A horrifying thought crossed my mind. What if this new lookwas to entice her mate? What if she had an inkling of who he was? My chest literally hurt and my innerwolf let out a sorrowful howl.

“Is all of this for your mate? Have you figured out who he is?” I asked, already panicking internally.

“No!” She said. I felt so relieved I was giddy. Please don’t be lying to me Chasity. Please. “You’ll onlyknow for sure tomorrow. Your inner wolf will tell you who your mate is,” said Calix.

“I don’t want a mate,” she said. Was this girl crazy? My wolf was going crazy and blaming me for this.How was this my fault? “Why the hell not?” Asked Alex. Yeah! Why he hell not?

“Because he’d just be mean to me and call me names and I get enough of that from you,” shesnapped.

f**k. Ok, I saw why my wolf was blaming me now. f**k! Was Ithat bad? Had I made Chasity not want amate? Literally the greatest pleasure in a wolf’s life.

“Are you stupid?” Asked Alex.

My wolf winced at that. Ugh, it was our fault wasn’t it? Especially me. I should explain mates to her.She was young and she didn’t get it, that’s all.

“No werewolf would insult his own mate or be mean to her,” I explained. I rolled my eyes. She shouldknow better than this. All werewolves worshipped their mates. “Don’t you know anything?” Asked Calix.

“Ok, thanks, I get it now,” she said simply. Were we making it worse?

Wait. What if she was just trying to impress us with her little outfit? We were Alphas. Girls usually threwthemselves at us. Chasity was coming of age. Maybe she had finally had enough of our bickering andwanted to make nice. I was ready to make nice. Real nice. My wolf approved of this.

“You dressed up for us, didn’t you?” I said, watching her reaction to my accusation carefully.

Ismirked at her, stroking my chin as I scrutinised her expression. She seemed shell-shocked by thequestion.

“Don’t make her admit it,” said Calix. “She’s embarrassed, Felix.”

So even baby boy Calix agreed with me. Chasity wanted to look cute for us. My wolf and I were veryhappy with the sudden turn of events. Maybe, I should tell her blatantly that the car was from me whenit came.

“Admit it! You did this for us!”I exclaimed, closing the distance between me and Chasity until her backwas against the kitchen island. Being this close, I realised her scent was much more beautiful than Iremembered. She always had a pretty smell, not like Ronda and her mouldy sandwich smell, but it wasenhanced somehow.

“Yeah, ok,” said Chasity softly, looking down, clearly embarrassed. She hugged herself tightly. “Idressed up for you. I asked two girls at school to help me. I really did have a math thing but I went toget dolled up after so that made me late as well. I’m sorry,” she said, confessing and topping it off withan apology.

I was stunned to hear her admit it. My heart was beating so hard and so fast. I didn’t know what to say.Chasity had a little crush on us. My wolf was howling in delight. He was the president of the Chasity fanclub after all.

She covered her face with her hands. She was shaking a little. Oh s**t! We made her cry.f**k. I hatedthat. I wasn’t good at comforting people. Thankfully, Alex spoke.

“Hey, you know, we aren’t the stupid little boys we used to be when we would fight with you,” said Alex,keeping his tone gentle. “We’re taking over this pack tomorrow and as you’re part of this pack we justwanna know what’s going on with you that’s all.”

She didn’t look up just yet. “Don’t cry, stupid,” I said, feeling desperate. My wolf snarled at the insult.“Don’t insult her when you’re trying to cheer her up, stupid,” said Calix.

Were Calix and his wolf trying to usurp the presidency of the Chasity fan club? “Chasity,” said Calix,making sure to use her correct name ands not her nickname Charity. She looked up at Calix. Her eyesseemed dry. Had she been faking? Calix neared her.

“Thanks for dressing up for us. I hope you wear an even shorter skirt tomorrow,” said Calix in a stage-whisper.

She rolled her eyes at us and we burst into laughter. She tried to brush past me and my wolf reachedfor her before I could stop him, lifting her and placing her back against the kitchen island. I pretendedlike I was annoyed with her defiance. I couldn’t let her know how my wolf got the better of mesometimes. She would think I was weak.

“Did I say you could leave?” I asked, leaning so close to her that our noses brushed. She squirmed inmy arms, making me realise I was still holding her.

“You need to have respect for your Alphas, Charity,’ said Alex, using our not-so-nice nickname for herand ruining the sweet-talk from Calix that had calmed her down.

“f**k you!” She screamed in my face. My wolf whined, begging me to hold her tight and whispersoothing things to her. “Let me go! Three Alpha males against one omega female is insane. You have

no honour,” she cried, struggling to get out of my grip. I let her go.

“We were just playing with you, Charity!” I called after her as she darted away. “Good grief! Go! Runupstairs!”

My wolf desperately wanted me to run after her. I wanted that too but I couldn’t bring myself to do it.She hated me. I was a fool to think she had suddenly developed a crush on us.

Calix’s POV

I felt heartbroken watching Chasity run upstairs, so upset. There were three of us. She probably felt wewere bombarding her. Why had Felix and Alex used that stupid rude nickname?

“Ugh! Felix! Why are you such a jerk to her?” I snarled, my eyes darkening. My wolf and I were angry.“Me?” Said Felix incredulously. “Yes, you!” I snapped. “Baby boy Calix, chill out,” said Felixdismissively. That was enough! I’d had it! . “You always over do it!”I bellowed shoving Felix. He shovedme back. I growled, my wolf coming forwards to handle the situation. “Calix,” chastised Alex. “Don’t!”“Felix!” Said Alex sternly. “Calm down! We probably were too harsh with her!” “And you both called herCharity instead of Chasity,” i pointed out, my anger growing again. “I’m done,” I yelled, walking awayfrom them and heading outside. “You’re just as dramatic as Charity!” Said Felix. I stopped in my tracksand turned around to glare at my elder brothers. “Chasity deserves better and you both know that!” Isnarled. Felix began to look guilty. Alex nodded, his gaze softening.

“Calix, I’m sorry! Let’s go get some rest ok,” said Alex. “We’re going out just before midnight to ring ourtwenty-first birthday in!

“Tell Chasity you’re sorry!” I insisted. Felix squirmed uncomfortably. He glanced at the direction Chasityhad gone in.

“I’ll apologise,” said Felix, shocking Alex and me. “At the birthday party tomorrow,” said Felix. “I’ve beenwanting to talk to her anyway.”

“Alex?” I asked. He wasn’t getting away with acting like he had done nothing wrong.

“I’ll apologise also,” said Alex. “But separate from Felix,” he added. “I need to speak with Chasity alonetomorrow anyway.”

“About what?” Asked Felix, getting annoyed again all of a sudden. “What does it matter?” Asked Alex.Felix huffed but remained silent. “I didn’t know we were going out to ring things in at midnight,” I said.

Thad planned on keeping watch at Chasity’s door to her little room. She would shift tonight at midnight.Shifting for the first time was painful and scary. She might need me. Chasity and I had a different

sort of relationship to the ones she had with Felix and Alex who hid every nice thing they did for her. Iwas more open with her. I hoped she could see that. I hoped I was her favourite. I grinned at thatthought.

“Wipe that stupid grin off your face,” said Felix.

growled at him. “Aw come on Calix, I’m joking,” said Felix, breaking into a smile. I smiled slightly. Hepulled me into a hug. Alex joined in. “You two go hug and make up with Chasity then,” I mumbled. Felixburst out laughing.

“She’d probably scratch my eyes out if I tried to put my arms around her suddenly after what justhappened,” Felix said, trying to hide the hurt in his voice. “Not that I care,” he added, clearly torn upinside that Chasity disliked him.

Alex just smiled in the direction Chasity had gone.

“It’s her birthday too tomorrow. She might be in a good mood,” said Alex. “You never know whattomorrow could bring.”

“Are you working for the Hallmark Channel on the side, Alex?” Snapped Felix. “Go take a nap,” barkedAlex. “Both of you. You’re cranky.”

I chuckled. I walked upstairs. Chasity was in her room. I could smell her sweet floral scent. I neared thedoor. I could not bring myself to knock on it. My fist was raised and hovering just an inch away from thewood. I sighed. I went up a floor to our parents’ room and banged unceremoniously on the door.

“What the f**k,” I heard my Dad mutter. “Mommy!” I said. “Calix!” Squealed Mom.

She rushed to the door and threw it open. She was holding her robe around her tightly. Dad was hastilytying his robe. My face paled. I’d interrupted something.

“What is it, Honey?” Cooed Mom. “Are you nervous about being Alpha?” She asked, ushering me intothe room

We sat on the edge of the bed. Dad scowled. “No,” I mumbled. “What is it, Calix, tell Mommy, please?”Asked Mom. “Stop babying that boy, Ronnie,” said Dad sternly. “Romeo,” snapped Mom, flashing him awarning look.

He sighed and fell silent. Dad was a tough Alpha but Mom was secretly the boss in my opinion. Shewas a tough Luna.

“My brothers want me to go out before midnight to countdown to our birthday,” I told her.

“That’s wonderful, Honey! They’re including you! Remember, when you would get left out sometimes!”Said Mom.

Dad snorted with laughter. We both glared at him and he stopped. He had that Felix sense of humour.“Yeah,” I admitted. Alex and Felix would run off without me sometimes but they had stopped doing thata while now. “But I had plans at midnight,” I said. “With a girl?” Asked Mom, looking shocked. “Yeah,” Ibreathed. “Calix,” chastised Mom. “Chasity,” I said. “WHAT?!” Barked Mom.

“Yeah, she doesn’t know, but I was gonna wait for near midnight and hang about for when she shifts incase she needs me,” I said, telling her my idea.

It was a great idea. I was proud of it. I grinned at Mom. She didn’t look happy with me being thoughtfullike usual.

“Did I do something wrong?” I asked. “No, Honey, no,” she said. “So I have a favour to ask?” I said.

“What is it, anything for you!” Said Mom brightly. Dad grumbled to himself.

“Will the two of you please keep an eye on Chasity? And give her shifting advice? So I can go with Alexand Felix?” I asked.

I was torn between the two. If I turned down my elder brothers and their plans, they would exclude meagain which I didn’t need this close to being co-Alphas with them. Mom looked uncomfortable. She andDad exchanged a glance.

“Mom!” I said sharply. “Yes, we’ll talk to her,” agreed Mom. Dad nodded.

“And make sure she gets back inside safely after her shift?” I specified. “If she’s late coming backplease call me!” I said, locking eyes with Mom.

“I will,” said Mom. “How late is late?” Asked Dad. “Half past midnight,” I said. “Thirty minutes to runabout before she has to come in?” Asked Dad incredulously. “Yes!” I snarled. “She’s a young girl in afrigid wilderness!”

Dad growled. I growled back louder, shocking myself, Mom and him. I opened my mouth to apologisebut Dad spoke first.

“Finally!” He commented, clapping me on the back. “You’re acting like an Alpha. Making yourdemands!”

Ok.

“Yes, exactly,” I said quickly, looking very unapologetic for my bad behaviour, as Felix always did. Yay.He was not upset at all.

“I expect a report of events afterwards,” I said. I wasn’t sure what that even entailed exactly but Alexsaid that a lot in pack meetings and Dad always looked proud.

“Sure, we’ll call by one and tell you what went on,” said Dad. Oh, it was literally just a conversationsaying what happened.

“Yes, of course,” I said. I couldn’t get too tipsy. My tolerance was a little lower than my elder brothersbecause I drank less. It was still difficult to get completely drunk though as a future Alpha.

I was so relieved. My wolf and I were elated. They would keep an eye on my Chasity for me. Tomorrow,I would be Alpha and some stuff was gonna change around here. Starting with me picking out adifferent room for Chasity. I also wanted her to have a proper allowance so she could buy herselfthings. The money was mine come midnight and I cancelling this ‘loan’ Chasity was paying off. I didn’twant her free labour. It was gross and weird. I would argue about that tomorrow in my Alpha voice ! Mywolf and I were so excited. No one could disagree with us soon, not officially, anyway.

“Thanks Mom and Dad, you’re the best!” I said.

On the way back to my room, I went back to Chasity’s door to make sure she was still in there. Ismelled her. She was. Soon, things would be so much better and easier for you Chasity. I rest myforehead on her door. I quickly pulled away in case my smell disturbed her or even scared her. I wasnot sure how similar I smelled to my brothers. We were identical. I kissed my palm and then I placedmy hand to the door. That was how I said goodnight to Chasity. She didn’t know that obviously. Thatwas my one secret ritual. Aside from walking her to school. The first time I tried I realised Felix wasalready doing it. He was such a closet softie. I glared at his door on the way to my room. I threw onelast look at my Chasity’s door before I went in for a nap.
