Colton’s POV

Two years later

“I don’t understand why a family dinner has suddenly become a formal event.” I complained to my mother, pulling at my tie to loosen it. 

I hated wearing a suit and tie, preferring sweatpants and a muscle tee, jeans and a t-shirt for dressier occasions. Both my brother’s looked equally miserable.

“Mallory will be here any minute. We haven’t seen her in almost two years. We are all going to have a nice dinner together to celebrate her homecoming. The least you can do is look presentable.” Mom lectured. “Now quit whining and go help set the table.”

I turned to go, rolling my eyes at my mother’s attitude. Darcy, my girlfriend of two years, was shaking her head at my antics with an amused smirk on her face. I stalked in her direction, intent on showing her what I thought of her laughing at me.

“You’re incorrigible.” She teased, looking up at me with an adoring smile on her face. 

There was so much affection in her gaze. It melted my heart and I couldn’t help but kiss her.

“Could you stop sucking face with your girlfriend long enough to come help us out?” Cary griped at me. 

My youngest brother made no secret of his dislike for Darcy, though for the life of me I couldn’t say why. At least Clay tolerated her without being rude. I picked up a napkin ring from the table and was about to fling it at Cary’s head when a delicious scent wafted into the room, capturing my attention. 

It smelled of jasmine and lavender and fresh citrus. I knew mom had baked cookies, but this was something completely different and intensely captivating. Searching for the source of the intoxicating new smell, I caught sight of my brothers who looked equally enthralled.

Before I could look further, the sound of footsteps approaching brought the scent even closer. And in the next moment, the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen walked into the room. I was struggling to pick my jaw up off the floor.

She had long midnight brown hair that hung in silky waves down to her waist. Her skin had a sun-kissed glow about it and looked impossibly soft, making my fingers twitch with the urge to touch her. And her lips. Fuck, those lips! They were so full and plush, I couldn’t stop wondering what it would feel like to sink my teeth into them while I kissed her senseless.

She was wearing a figure hugging wrap dress that proved she had a toned physique but still had ample curves. The hem hit her mid-thigh, showing off legs a man would die to have wrapped around him while she came screaming his name. I was momentarily speechless.

“Mallory?” Clay questioned, sounding utterly shocked. 

What? No! That couldn’t be Mallory, could it? The girl that had irritated me since I was ten years old, joined our family out of nowhere like she’d always belonged to it and was too sassy for her own damned good?

“Hey,” she greeted him with a small wave and shy smile.

Then I looked again, really looked this time. And that’s when I noticed them, those hazel eyes with the gold starburst that always enchanted me. The unique eyes that unmistakably belonged to Mallory Edwards. Only now, they had a maturity about them they hadn’t before. But they were still sparkling with mischief. 

I’d always felt an unexplainable pull to the little omega and I’d always resented her for it, not understanding why my Alpha wolf found her so attractive. But, I’d always been able to fight it, pushing her away. Now though, I had a sneaking suspicion it wouldn’t be that easy. 

My brothers were obviously as stunned as I was, but neither of them was even attempting to hide their appreciation for the woman in front of them. Cary was even licking his lips. Then he practically lunged for her.

“Mallory! Fuck, I missed you!” Cary blurted out, picking her up and twirling her around.

“Hey, little wolf! “Clay was next, wrapping her in a tight hug. “Looks like you grew up!” 

What the fuck was going on with those two? They’d never been that happy to see her before she left.

Neither had you. But now you’re practically drooling over her.” My wolf unhelpfully remarked. 

“Um, I missed you guys too, I guess.” Mallory mumbled noncommittally.

She smells amazing! Go hug her!” Kai, my wolf, prodded.

I was about to follow his advice when a small hand on my arm stopped me in my tracks. Darcy. Shit! I’d been so consumed by my thoughts of Mallory, I’d totally forgotten about my girlfriend. How the fuck could I forget about her just like that? 

I was pissed at myself. Darcy was beautiful too and I was not about to ruin what I had with her for Mallory, no matter how good she looked. Kai whined at my refusal but I wasn’t having it. 

Is she our mate?’ I asked him.

Can’t tell.” He shrugged at me. “She doesn’t have a wolf yet.

Then drop it!” I demanded. “I love Darcy and I’m not giving her up for anyone.” 

He just stomped away in a huff without another word. I flashed Darcy a reassuring smile. I didn’t want her to feel insecure with Mallory back. She had no reason to be. When I looked back up, everyone was staring at me expectantly.

“Hi Colton. Hi Darcy.” Mallory offered another small wave and a half-smile.

“Welcome home, Mallory.” I replied curtly.

Mallory had never been very good at hiding her attraction to us when she was younger. I hoped she wouldn’t make things difficult by following us around like a puppy now that she was back. I would have to talk to my brothers about not encouraging her with another display like the one they’d just given her. 

Just then, the front door slammed and Maeve ran screaming into the room.

“Where’s my baby girl?” she screeched, then nearly knocked Mal over with her overzealous hug.

“Hi Mom!” Mallory squealed, clearly excited to see her mother again after so long.

The commotion brought my parents into the room, awaiting their turn to greet the prodigal child. All eyes were on the mother-daughter reunion, but something was irritating my wolf, making him pace in my head. 

All at once, I registered the cause of his agitation. He had picked up an unfamiliar scent that now had me on high alert as well. I scanned the room to see a man I didn’t recognize taking in the scene with, casually standing in our dining room with his hands in his pockets and a grin on his face. 

He looked perfectly at ease, like he wasn’t a stranger in a house full of dangerous wolves. I took a step in his direction, intent on finding out exactly who the fuck he was and why he was in my packhouse, when Mal’s reaction stopped me in my tracks. 

Mal seemed to scent him at the same time as the rest of us, looking around until her eyes landed on him. Her whole face lit up at seeing him there, making Kai snarl in my head. Something about the way her body relaxed and the tension left her eyes the moment she detected his presence didn’t sit right with me. 

“Nathan! Come join us!” She waved him over. He immediately went to her, snaking his arm around her waist and pulling her closer. “Everyone, this is Nathan Richardson, Alpha of the Winter Woods Pack, and my boyfriend!”

A growl rumbled through my chest at that. I tried to play it off by clearing my throat but nobody was fooled. From the corner of my eye I could see Darcy’s worried expression. I just squeezed her hand, refusing to meet her gaze while I struggled to force Kai back.

“Uh, I’ll just see if they need help in the kitchen.” I excused myself, walking away quickly.

Bro, what was that all about?” Clay’s voice entered my head. I should have known he wouldn’t let it go. 

Nothing.” I insisted. “Kai’s just a little wired tonight is all.

I get it! Gunner has been going nuts since he caught Mal’s scent tonight. But who can blame him. Seems our little wolf is not so little anymore!” He rambled on. “But Darcy looks a little flustered. You should probably come sort her out.” 

Yeah, I’ll be there in a minute.” I said, closing the link. 

But I knew I couldn’t go back out there until I got my shit together and brought my wolf to heel. If I kept behaving that way, it would hurt Darcy and that’s the last thing I wanted to do. I knew I shouldn’t care that Mal had a boyfriend, but damn if it didn’t piss me the fuck off! I just wish I understood why.

I hid in the kitchen, pretending to be useful, until dinner was served. My wolf still seemed rattled but had stopped trying to act out. I took my place at the table next to Darcy and leaned over to give her a soft kiss.

“Tell us all about your Luna training, Mallory! We can’t wait to hear all about it!” her mom gushed. “What specialty did you choose?”

“Well, um . . .” Mallory started, hesitantly. 

“Let me guess! You chose Healer, right?” Clay guessed.

“No, no! Mal hates the sight of blood. She chose Tracker.” Cary said with certainty.

When did they become the resident experts on what Mallory did or did not hate?

“My girl is fierce. Why wouldn’t you guess Warrior?” Alpha Rhcardson inserted.

Kai grumbled softly in my head at hearing him claim her as his but I quickly silenced him before he could alert the whole table to his presence.

“No way! Mallory, a warrior?” Clay sounded incredulous. “She may have changed but nobody changes that much.”

Apparently, Mallory didn’t like his lack of faith in her because she squared her shoulders, a deep frown on her face as she prepared to snap his head off. There’s the sassy, un-Luna like Mallory I remember, I thought to myself. But instead, she took a deep breath, smoothed out her features, and responded calmly.

“I actually completed all three tracks. I earned designations as Master Healer, Expert Tracker, and Warrior, First-Class.” She stated simply, not boasting but just relaying facts.

“What?” My father was the first to respond, sounding stupefied. “But no one’s ever done that before.”

“Well, my girl did it! And she graduated with honors!” Nathan beamed with pride, scooting Mallory’s chair closer to him and kissing the top of her head. Kai rumbled in disapproval and I could feel my brothers’ wolves were equally unhappy. 

Mallory’s answering smile was full of adoration as she returned Nathan’s gaze. The rest of the room had fallen silent, too astounded to speak. I could have heard a pin drop if it weren’t for my wolf snarling in my head at the sight of Mallory cozying up to her so-called boyfriend. Beside me, Darcy looked pale, unconsciously digging her nails into my skin where she gripped my arm.

I understood her concern. Omega or not, what Mallory accomplished would be enough to attract any Alpha to want her as their Luna. She obviously already had one drooling over her. I would just have to work harder to reassure Darcy that Mallory was no threat to her. I made her a promise and I couldn’t go back on that. I wouldn’t. 

Are you sure about that?” My wolf hounded me.

Shut up, Kai!” I growled, ending the conversation. Because the truth was, I didn’t have an answer.

    Clayton’s POV “Well that was a shit show.” My little brother, Cary, chuckled darkly as we walked upstairs together after the dinner party. “Which part?” I snorted at him. “The part where our dear older brother acted like an epic prick all night? Or maybe the part where Mallory showed up looking like a damn Goddess, making me drool all over myself? Or better yet, the part where her fucking Alpha boyfriend showed up and had his hands all over her all night, making my wolf insane with jealousy?” “Yeah, Roan was losing his mind too. But I’m not worried about the boyfriend.” He shrugged as if it was an easy obstacle to overcome. “We’re Alphas too, and we have history.” “Are you fucking kidding me right now?” I shook my head in disbelief. “You’re right about her having a history with us, a terrible one. We tormented her for most of her childhood. She couldn’t get away from us fast enough when she left for the academy. Meanwhile, she meets her Alpha prince charming there and he’s pro

Colt looked up to shoot me a death glare, apparently not appreciating my comment. “Geez, sorry.” I huffed under my breath. “I guess we know how Colt feels. What about you Clay?’ Clay took a deep breath and blew it out, looking up at the ceiling. I could’ve sworn I saw his cheeks turn pink, before he finally looked us in the eyes. “If I’m being honest, I kind of had a thing for her before she left. But now, fuck, I’m not sure I could stay away from her if I tried.” He confessed. “And the way Gunner flipped out when he smelled her, I would’ve sworn she was our mate even though I knew she didn’t have her wolf yet.” “I already told you Roan went crazy too. And we all know how Kai reacted. It couldn’t have been more fucking obvious so don’t even try to deny it, Colt.” I stopped him before he even opened his mouth. “

    Mallory’s POV Nathan drove me home after dinner at the pack house. I knew he had a long drive back to his territory so I was pleasantly surprised when I invited him in and he actually agreed. He’d already gone above and beyond to pick me up at the airport and drive me home. “Did you enjoy your homecoming dinner, love?” Nathan asked me as we snuggled on the couch together watching a movie. “Mmmhmm,” I hummed blandly. “It was nice, I guess.” “You guess?” he prompted, his way of asking for more information. “It’s just weird being home again.” I elaborated. “I’m super excited to see mom, of course! And it was great to see Alpha Carl and Luna Erika. They’ve always been like family to me. But the triplets were acting weird. I’m almost sure they’re up to something.” “Why do you say that?” Nathan seemed genuinely curious. “They were being nice. They’re never nice!” I told him, remembering how they used to harrass me. “Not Colton. He’s been indifferent since he started dating Darcy. B

    Mallory’s POV The sound of my alarm blaring at six am made me jolt upright. I had finally been dozing after a restless night of broken sleep. I was still pissed at Clay and Cary for their behavior last night but mostly I was just confused. I tossed and turned all night, trying to shut out the thoughts continuously assaulting me. Before I left for Luna training, they treated me like I was gum on their shoe, an annoyance to be dealt with. I assumed once I was gone, they would have thrown a party to celebrate. So why, after all this time, did they suddenly decide they enjoyed my company? At first, I thought maybe they’d just devised another way to mess with me. Interrupt my alone time with Nathan and try to keep me so busy I can’t spend time with him just to frustrate me. Or maybe they think he will break up with me and they can laugh at my heartbreak. But I had news for them, Nathan and I wouldn’t break easily, and certainly not because of them. Still, something seemed differe

    Colton’s POV “Fucking hell!” I roared, picking up a stupid wolf figurine from my desk and shattering it against the wall. “What the fuck is happening with us?” I growled at my wolf, though I was more angry at myself than him. He was just an animal, after all. “I don’t know.” Kai answered with a wolfy shrug. “She’s beautiful and her scent calls to me. I want her.” “Well you need to stop!” I snarled at him before admitting the truth. “I need to stop.” I was so fucking pissed at myself. Just last night, I’d held Darcy’s hand and comforted her, reassured her I didn’t have feelings for Mallory. It was hard work getting her to believe me after the way I’d acted at dinner, growling at Mallory’s boyfriend and practically drooling over the girl herself. But I’d finally managed to convince her. “Feeling better?” I’d asked her after her tears had finally stopped. “Yeah,” She said, still sniffling. “Not that I ever want you to cry, but your lips are all swollen and puffy, maki

    Mallory’s POV I had no idea why I agreed to a movie night with the triplets. I must have temporarily lost my mind. I couldn’t think of another explanation for voluntarily entering the lion’s den, or wolf den as it were, with the three of them. Maybe it was because I was irritated at Nathan for his nonchalant attitude about the whole thing and wanted an opportunity to prove to him I was right about them being up to no good. “I’m so proud of you sweetheart! It sounds like your Alphas are really taking your expertise seriously!” He’d gushed when I’d called him to complain about canceling our date earlier. “They’ve never taken me seriously a day in my life! I’m telling you they are up to something and as my boyfriend, you should be more concerned about it!” I’d argued, but he just laughed it off. I huffed to myself as I headed to the kitchen to grab sodas while the guys ordered the pizza. At least Nathan had agreed to come see me tomorrow. He would be here early in the morning so I

    Cary’s POV “What the fuck was that about?” Colton demanded as soon as I returned to the lounge. I was not in the mood to deal with his imperious attitude at the moment. My lips were still tingling with the memory of Mallory’s mouth on mine and all I wanted was to be alone to savor the sensation. Without waiting for an answer, Colt launched into a lecture. “She has a boyfriend! How did you think that was going to end? Did you actually think she was going to throw away their relationship, just roll over and spread her legs for you? Forget about all the shit we put her through growing up?” “Ease up, Colt!” Clay barked at him. “Neither of us are looking for an easy lay here. There is something between us and we know she feels it too. Keep lying to yourself if it makes you feel better but you know it’s true. You want her too and it scares the shit out of you!” “Why the fuck would that scare me?” Colt balked at the idea. “If I wanted her, I would just say so. But I don’t.” “Bull

Nathan had just left after I’d given him some lame excuse about not feeling well and needing to rest. I guess it wasn’t a total lie. My stomach was in knots. Still, I didn’t think he was really buying it but it was the best I could come up with. I’d called him as soon as I got home last night and begged him to come spend the day with me. I told him I was having some trouble adjusting to being home and I thought it would help to have him here. But the truth was, I knew I couldn’t let any of the triplets touch me again. If they did, I wasn’t sure I’d have the will to resist them and I had to resist them. Nathan and I came back to my house after training and I tried to relax and just enjoy being with him, but I couldn’t stop thinking about what I’d done. Guilt was eating at me over kissing Cary behind Nathan’s back. I knew I should just

  • Resisting the Alpha Triplets   Epilogue

    Charlie’s POV 20 Years Later “Oh little lamb,” Nathan cooed, pulling me into lap. “Do you want to talk about it?” He’d found me pouring over a photo album filled with pictures of Levi when he was little. I was sobbing hysterically and even his strong arms holding me tight didn’t help to stem the tears. I couldn’t believe my first born was already a man. And he was leaving us. “It’s not forever, love. He’ll be home before you know it. Maybe he’ll find her in the first pack territory he stops in and bring her straight back home!” He was trying to be uplifting but the reminder that my baby was old enough to find a mate just made me cry all the harder. At twenty years old, neither Levi nor his best friends, Parker and Carson Collins, had found their mates. At eighteen, none of them had been too fussed about it. Now two years later, Nathan and the Black Moon Alphas were all ready to retire but their heirs preferred to be mated before taking over their packs. So all three boys were

My guys had to carry me everywhere. Even to the bathroom!” The shuddering grimace she made had me laughing until it strained the muscles in my belly and my chuckle ended as more of a grunt. Before I could blink, Nathan was there, rubbing my tummy in soothing circles and tucking a pillow behind my lower back. He was my ever-present shadow. I couldn’t so much as clear my throat without him clucking over me like a mother hen. “Looks like you aren’t faring much better.” Mallory observed. “I can’t even waddle to the bathroom in the middle of the night without him leaping out of bed and trying to rush me to the hospital.” I confirmed. Mallory just nodded, shooting me a knowing look. She shooed Nathan away, promising to call him if I needed anything and I was grateful. I

    Nathan’s POV “Will you stop pacing?” Charlie complained as I wore a path through Dr. Mahon’s office. As soon as I’d gotten the message he wanted to see us, I’d bundled her up and stuffed her into the car, her protesting the whole way. She had wanted to wait a day to recover from her heat before leaving the comfort of our room but I’d insisted we come right away. If we were going to get bad news, I wanted to get ahead of it as soon as possible. “Sorry if I’m making you anxious, lamb. But where the hell is he? For someone who’s been calling us for days, demanding we see him ASAP, he’s taking his sweet damn time!” I’d meant to apologize but ended up growling instead. “Well since you insisted on showing up without even calling first, I’m guessing he’s with another patient. Don’t you think they deserve the same time and attention you’d want him to give me?” She chided. Duly chastised, I sank into the chair next to her and slipped my hand into hers, lacing our fingers together. A

    Charlie’s POV The second Nathan bit me, the sparks between us intensified. It felt like fireworks shooting off all over my skin, leaving an intense pleasure behind that sent me hurtling over the edge of a cliff. I’d never felt such pure, perfect bliss. I heard myself scream as my orgasm rocked through me but it was only a vague awareness. Hearing was too much effort when all I wanted to do was feel. My pussy contracted around Nathan’s deliciously thick cock, tighter than it ever had. His hot cum splashed my walls, sending waves of ecstasy coursing through me with every spurt. My toes curled and my spine tingled but more than the physical pleasure, my heart soared, Because I could feel Nathan’s joy at claiming me deep in my bones. We belonged to each other forever and he was euphoric! I never knew it was possible for someone to love me that way, with a love that was pure, and true, and unshakable. But along with his elation were equal parts guilt and remorse. It would take some

    Nathan’s POV Charlie’s heat was rising again. I could see it in the beautiful flush of her skin and the way she was starting to squirm. Every impulse drove me to reach out and touch her. But I wouldn’t. Not yet. This decision was too important to taint with heat-induced desire. “You want to mark me?” She was staring at me like I’d just asked her to volunteer as tribute in the Hunger Games. It destroyed me to see how terrified she was of tying herself to me but I couldn’t blame her. After the vile things I said to her, she couldn’t possibly trust my intentions. I could see the fear warring with raw carnal desire in her eyes and knew I only had moments to convince her to take a leap of faith with me before her heat took away any possibility of rational consent. “Please tell me I haven’t lost you, Charlie!” My voice was raspy, a heavy plea in my tone. “I know I accused you of lying, but you were only doing what life had forced you to do, protecting yourself because you’d never b

    Charlie’s POV “Charlie, please calm down, lamb.” Nathan reached for me but I took a step back. “Stop calling me that! Where am I and why are you here?” I demanded. “Please come sit down. I’ll explain everything.” His tone was imploring and his eyes held so much pain, like it physically hurt him to watch me panic. “I don’t want-, aaagh!” a stomach cramp hit me so hard I cried out and buckled over, then a gush of slick ran down my legs. I looked up at Nathan, horrified. He was already at my side, lifting me in his arms and carrying me back to bed. I wanted to scream at him to put me down but his warmth was already seeping into my bones and the pain seemed to ease the longer he held me close. I almost whined when he set me on the bed, his body heat ebbing away. “Let me help you, love.” He said, climbing into the bed behind me and pulling my back tight to his chest. I was still wearing the scandalous dress Brad had given me for the party but someone had put a shirt over it.

    Nathan’s POV Rage simmered in my veins as I held my lifeless mate in my arms. I clenched my jaw against the roar threatening to escape. I felt ripped in two between the urge to keep Charlie close while battling the need to go back to the party and rip that fucker’s head from his shoulders. “She’s breathing, right? Tell me she’s breathing!” Darcy whimpered next to me. “She is but it’s shallow. Her heartbeat is steady, though.” I assured her. “What’s happening in there, we can’t let that stand, Alpha!” Braden’s growl was a vicious promise of retribution. “I’ve already called the Black Moon Alphas. They’re assembling a team as we speak.” I told him. “My only regret is that I won’t be there to see it when they burn, but getting Charlie to safety is my priority right now.” “Can she make it home or do we need to detour?” He asked, his voice thick with concern. I knew he was struggling to hold it together. Knowing what was done to your mate and seeing the truth of it firsthand w

    Charlie’s POV “Mine!” Nathan roared, storming over to me and the man who’d essentially paid for my company for the night, and not even with money but promises, because that’s how little I was worth. I had no idea what he was doing here but I knew it was his wolf’s instinct that drove him to claim me, not the man himself. He was done with me. He’d made that perfectly clear. Still, it hurt to see his handsome face so near and not be able to touch him so I turned away. “Do you know this man?” Hugh dug his fingers into my thigh in anger at the interruption and I bit back a wince. As far as he was concerned, he owned me. Anyone claiming otherwise was a threat to his percieved importance and he couldn’t allow that without repurcussions. Not to mention he’d deluded himself into thinking the other men were actually interested in the ridiculous jokes he was telling and he wasn’t the type to easily give up the attention. “No. Not any more.” I answered timidly. “I thought I did but I was w
