Resisting the Alpha Triplets Ch. 85 For Our Pups
Colton’s POV We were on our way back to Black Moon. On our way home. Nathan had agreed to stay in Hazelwood for the time being, to settle the pack and keep an eye on things. It had been an easy choice since his mate had been reluctant to leave with him. Mallory had put up a fight when my brothers and I announced our intention to leave. She felt Hazelwood was her responsibility and needed her attention. It did. But we’d finally convinced her that the pack was in good hands, a fact she was hardly in a position to deny given her history with Nathan, and she needed to put herself and the pups first. She’d been through a trauma, physically and emotionally, and as her mates, we were desperate to get her the care she needed and check on the condition of our pups. Not that there was any real concern for their well-being. Their three heartbeats were audible now and grew stronger every day. Still, our Alpha natures required reassurance. All of that was well and good. But soon the doctor
Resisting the Alpha Triplets Ch. 86 Maybe Not Impossible
Mallory’s POV “I’m listening.” I prompted Cotlon while I waited for him to explain whatever it was that he felt so compelled to say to me. I had to say, as far as explanations went, he was doing a shit job so far. I didn’t understand him at all. On one hand, he was apologizing for hurting me by being intimate with Darcy, then in the next breath he said he did it to protect me, How was causing me unspeakable pain protecting me? In what universe was I supposed to be okay with him taking my virginity, telling me he wanted me, then going back to his girlfriend the next day? The idea was ludicrous. Yet here I was, waiting on tenterhooks to hear what he had to say. “I’m sorry.” He apologized again which was beginning to irritate me. “I know it doesn’t make rational sense. I see that now. But it seemed like the right thing to do at the time.” “Colton, please just start at the beginning.” I didn’t even try to hide my exasperation. “Okay. Good idea.” He agreed, then took a deep br
Resisting the Alpha Triplets Ch. 87 Bonding
Cary’s POV “Darling, please sit down and rest. Between your pacing and your frustrated scent permeating the air, you’re triggering every Alpha instinct I have. Colton, please make her sit. She’s driving me crazy!” I pleaded with my brother to step in and help me settle our mate before my wolf lost his mind. By the way Mallory was biting her nails and wearing a path in the carpet, she was obsessing over something again. It had been her favorite pastime since we’d brought her home and I was beginning to worry. It was almost like she couldn’t let her mind be quiet for fear of the memories that might creep in if she did. Colton’s head snapped up from the report he’d been reading and he fixed me with an irritated glare. I’d asked him to be the bad guy this time and it was a role he was nowhere near ready to play. When Mallory had allowed him to move in, Clay and I thought we’d have an ally when it came to taking care of our mate, but that just hadn’t been the case. How dare we sugge
Resisting the Alpha Triplets Ch. 88 Foreboding
Clay’s POV “You’ve got to be kidding me!” I snapped at the woman on the phone. The Wolf Shifter Council’s secretary didn’t deserve my rudeness. She was just a messenger. But when it came to the safety of my mate, no one was exempt from my incivility. “This is ludicrous! After what he did to my mate, he shouldn’t be allowed inside a courtroom. He should never see the outside of a cell again!” I snarled. “And you’re only giving us a week to find witnesses. You’re practically handing him his freedom on a silver platter!” “My apologies, Alpha. The council has deemed him deserving of a trial and I was tasked with informing you of the date. If you’d like to file a complaint, there is a process for that. In the meantime, if you do not show up to the council hearing as scheduled, we’ll be forced to dismiss the case.” She rattled on, giving me the company line. “Sure. What the fuck ever!” I cursed, hanging up on her as I entered the bedroom. I’d been roaming the apartment during the

To all my wonderful readers, I just wanted to drop a quick note to apologize for being unable to update today. I tried to write but am not feeling well and unable to give it the attention it deserves. If I am feeling better and able to get enough done, I will try to post an update on Sunday to make up for the missed day. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding! On another note, I wanted to let you know that when RTAT wraps up, I will be including a short novella at the end of this book for Nathan and Charlie. Nathan is a good guy and deserves his own HEA, though it won’t be without its challenges. Much love, Cara
Resisting the Alpha Triplets Ch. 89 Bloodbath
Trigger Warning: This chapter contains descriptions of physical and sexual abuse that may be difficult for some readers. Darcy’s POV I hated being here in Hazelwood territory. I hated being any place where Quade’s presence lingered. I could feel him everywhere I went, like a waking nightmare I couldn’t escape. But I had nowhere else to go. He may be locked in a cell, but the memory of his tyranny still roamed free, haunting these people who suffered under him for so many years. It was in the drab walls of this ramshackle packhouse while he used their wealth for his own gain. It was in the hopeless and defeated expressions of the people who lived here. Not that I saw much of the Hazelwood people. The crippling anxiety that plagued me prevented me from leaving my room most days. Besides, Alpha Nathan Richardson had taken charge of the pack, and while he never treated me unkindly and seemed to tolerate my presence, I knew he blamed me for what happened to Mallory. “Let’s go outside
Resisting the Alpha Triplets Ch. 90 Murder And Mayhem
Mallory’s POV “Everything is going to be okay, little wolf.” Clay reassured me again, pulling me into his lap and nuzzling my neck to soothe me. I suspected my leg nervously bouncing so fast it could have taken flight was the real motive behind him trapping me in his arms but I couldn’t help myself. The closer we got to Hazelwood, to the place I knew Quade was, the more anxious I became. It was maddening to let him have this power over me but I felt helpless against it. “Sure. I’ll believe that when that monster is behind bars for good.” I muttered. “Hey,” He tipped my chin up and pressed a soft kiss to my lips. “Do you trust me?” I nodded, earning a lopsided grin from him that made my stomach do somersaults. “Good. Then trust me when I promise you I won't let anything or anyone hurt you again.” “I trust you. All of you.” I sighed, leaning my head against his chest and letting him rub comforting strokes up and down my arm. It was the truth. I did trust them. And sudd

Mallory’s POV “You’re okay! I’ve got you, love. Everything will be okay!” Colton lifted me from the ground and held me close to his chest. “It hurts, Why does it hurt?” I cried out when another sharp pain stabbed me in the gut. Distantly, I heard footsteps pounding the ground, growing louder and louder as they drew nearer. But all I could focus on was pain and the panic for my babies. Then Cary’s cinnamon scent and Clay’s leather mixed with Colton’s lime, surrounding me with a heady fragrance that reduced the agony to a dull discomfort. “Fuck! She’s burning up! Come here, darling.” Cary reached for me and I fell into his arms, wrapping my arms and legs around him. “Find a fucking doctor!” Clay thundered. “We have a doctor on staff at the infirmary. He doesn’t have much equipment to work with but it’s the best we can do for now.” Charlie had arrived with Nathan and offered to take us there. I buried my face in Cary’s neck and took deep drags of his scent. It eased my distress

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

4 Months Later Julia’s POV “Just be glad you aren’t having three.” Mallory said as I groaned while trying to lower my heavily pregnant self into the nearest chair. “I was literally the size of a house by the end. 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.
Resisting the Alpha Triplets Ch. 21
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
