“Well, that makes sense,” Reese said. “The prophecy mentioned a traitor.”
“Dammit,” Ethan swore. I could hear Alessia next to him, shouting.
“We need to go back,” she was saying.
“Why?” I asked, curiously. Ethan put her on speaker phone.
“We need to get Troi. Remember the prophecy? We need to keep her close. The prophecy was very specific.” Alessia was adamant.
Brian and I looked at each other. “I got this here,” Brian said to me, quietly. “Go. Go get your mate back.”
“You guys keep going. I’ll bring Troi,” I said into the phone. “I’ll be there in six hours.”
IZZY POV
I took Bart’s advice and I covered up with some of the straw. It was a little warmer. I w

IZZY POVThe jerk didn’t even give me shoes or slippers. I wasn’t wearing any when I was taken, and they didn’t bother to give me any to use. They marched me out of the jail cell across the packed snow and ice to a huge house that loomed in the distance. My feet were numb within the first five steps.I looked around the property. I could see a massive concrete wall around the entire perimeter. Razor wire looped over the top of the wall and there were cameras spaced every few feet. I wondered if it was to keep people in or people out.We stepped out of the shelter of the jail and the gale of wind caught me. I put my arms around my body, trying to shield myself from the icy wind. I was wearing a loose hoodie, and the wind was relentless, finding every opening to blow into. I was shaking hard from the cold by the time we made it to the house.I was unceremoniously pushed into

IZZY POVIt took me a minute to find my voice. “I will not betray my mates,” I said, my voice shaking. I did not look at him, expecting a blow or some other sort of retaliation for my defiance. He did not move, just stood next to me for a moment before walking back to his desk.“You will come to me soon, begging me to take you to my bed,” he said, taking a seat in his chair. He sounded matter of fact.I said nothing, still sitting on the floor in front of the fire. He looked at me, his mouth quivering with amusement. “I see you doubt me.”“I do,” I said. “I know that I won’t betray my mates, no matter what you do to me.”He studied me for a moment. “Perhaps you should be worried about your pups?” he suggested. “Would you betray your mates for your pups?”I shook my head. “I would not.&nbs

REESE POV“What do you mean you can’t get me any closer?” I demanded. Travis looked nonplussed.“See this?” he asked, showing me a computer screen with a blue swath over most of the map. “Snow. A massive storm is starting. Going to be a few days before it even begins to clear up.”“So you won’t even bring us up there?” I asked in disbelief. “What about our wolves? Can we go on foot? Wouldn’t they make it?”Travis looked at me with exasperation. “Reese, you haven’t changed a bit from Alpha School. You were always my most pain in the ass student. There’s a reason I teach survival skills and a reason I’m a guide up here. I’m good at it. I will keep you alive. You need to believe me and understand. Our wolves won’t make it. The only way to m

IZZY POVI was cold. I woke up because my face hurt from the freezing air. I opened my eyes to see snow drifting into the little slits that let in our sunlight. I groaned and rolled over, pulling my hoodie tighter around my face.“This storm will last a few days,” Bart said, his voice gloomy. I opened my eyes again.“Yesterday morning you weren’t so pessimistic,” I said, critically. “What changed?”He shrugged. “I thought I’d be able to enjoy some conversation for the first time in years. But you either slept or you were gone. I didn’t get to talk to you.”I snorted. “Believe me, my time with Cornelius wasn’t a picnic.”He began to giggle and then the giggle turned into a booming laugh. After a second, I joined him. And, honestly? After we were done laughing, I felt better about things.&n

IZZY POVI saw his foot draw back, but I was too cold and too stiff to avoid it. It crashed into my chest, rolling me backwards.“Again!” he shouted, walking away.The water started back up and I did my best to stay out of the direct spray but this time Toby was in charge. He walked around me with the nozzle, making sure it was blasting directly in my face no matter what direction I turned. I was gasping for air, trying not to breathe in the water, choking and sputtering.“Enough!” a loud voice shouted. Toby looked up at the person shouting, still spraying me.“Who are you to order me around?” he asked furiously.“The Head Guard for your father, Lord Cornelius,” the guard answered. “I answer to him, not his spoiled half-breed son.” The water stopped. I looked over to see a second guard had turned it off. I breathed a

CALEB POVI stood at the window, watching the snow swirl down. It had been nonstop snowing for three days. Travis was checking the doppler again.“There might be a break tomorrow night,” he said. “I just don’t know if it’s long enough to get us in and out.”“We can worry about getting out later,” Ethan said. “We just need to get in and get her.”Travis shook his head. “You don’t know these vampires. The fortress has a small village of people who live there. They all owe Lord Cornelius for their lives which means that they will fight for him. We have to have an exit strategy. Your mate is strong. But if she sees you killed, how strong do you think she’s going to remain? They’ll manage to keep her alive until they can cut your pups out of her and then her worth is over. Your pups will be raised by Vampir
Triplet Alphas and Their Reluctant Mate Chapter 116
IZZY POVWe woke to snow covering every surface in the cell. It blew so hard in the night that it looked like it stormed inside our prison. When the snow began to cover my blanket it made a layer of insulation so I was warmer than I had been since I got here. I wasn’t warm, I was just not as cold.Because I didn’t want to disturb the snow and let any of the chilly air in, I refused to get up for breakfast. It just sat there in the bucket because Bart didn’t want to move, either. We lay on our straw beds and talked. I found out that he was once married to a mortal woman, and they had two children together. One of the children had died of the bubonic plague but the other child and his wife lived long lives. Neither one had wanted him to turn them, so he had to watch them die.“What year was this?” I asked, curiously.“Mary was born in 1347 and Henry was born in 1351.&n

IZZY POVI woke up on something soft. I was hot, too hot, and everything hurt. I painfully turned my head to the left and felt a sharp sting. I put my hand up to my neck and was surprised to feel a wide collar had been fastened like a tight necklace. Or a collar. My fingers stung when I touched it and I realized it was silver.I forced my eyes open. The room was dark but there was a fire going in the fireplace, casting a reddish glow over everything. There was a high back chair situated next to the fireplace and a large figure was sitting in it.I was suddenly wracked with a cough. I rolled to my side, curling into a ball, ignoring the searing pain on my neck. I coughed until I wretched. Finally, the spasm ceased. I continued to lay on my side, exhausted and catching my breath.The figure in the chair moved into the light from the fire. I could see that it was Cornelius.

EPILOGUE TALIA POV “Coming!” I answered my mom, looking in the mirror and tucking my hair behind my ear. Today was my eighteenth birthday and I was officially going to introduce my wolf to the Pack. I had technically been able to shift since I was a baby, but we had managed to keep that a secret from almost everyone, though it had been a close call a few times. My brothers were coming back from Mongolia with their mate, Zaria, and their friend, Leo, to help celebrate my birthday. They were on some sort of a mission for the Council, but they got permission to come home for this event. They were twelve years older than me and I liked to tease them about being old. They didn’t think I was as funny as I knew I was. They were cool, though, and all my friends loved my brothers. Their mate was also pretty awesome. She was the daughter of our Beta and one heck of a warrior. She went to the same camp my grandmama was accepted to. Only the best warriors are allowed to go. I ran

IZZY POV I rubbed my swollen belly and sat down behind my desk with a sigh. Baby girl was seriously a week overdue, and I was over being pregnant. I wanted to meet my Talia and that moment couldn’t come soon enough. A lot had happened in the three months since the Summer Solstice Celebration. Elder Voltaire had officially asked permission to join our pack and he put in his retirement notice to the Vampire Council. Apparently, serving as head Council Member for three hundred years was enough for him. We gave the Blood Moon Pack to Griz and Destiny. We talked a long time about it and had first asked Leo if he was interested in taking over for his father. He had vehemently turned down our offer, insisting that he never wanted to see the Blood Moon Pack again. When we had gone to visit, I could see why. The pack needed a lot of work and there was a general sense of discourse. Griz and Destiny agreed to take on the Pack with Griz being named the first non-wolf Alpha of a Pack.

IZZY POV“So what do you do, Elias?” Reese asked. I could see his nostrils flaring a little to see if he was a wolf. I didn’t sense a wolf in him, but I wasn’t going to ask. It was kind of like asking someone’s religion or income. If they offer the information, we could talk about it. But only if they offer it.“I’m a bounty hunter,” he said. Kat was clinging to his arm.“A supernatural bounty hunter,” she corrected. “He works for the Council, believe it or not.”Elias smiled. “Kind of. They hire me on occasion. I work for myself,” he corrected her gently.“Sorry,” she said, smiling. He leaned down and gently kissed her on the lips. I grinned. I was so happy for my friend.“Tell us about one of your captures,” Destiny asked. She was next to Griz,

IZZY POV“How are you doing?” I asked Destiny. We were busy hanging decorations around the backyard, and it was the first time I had a moment alone with her in a week. I knew she was feeling really guilty about Kat leaving.She shrugged. “I’m okay. I just feel awful every time I look at Griz. I never intended for her to leave. I just wanted her to be more careful.”I dropped the streamer I was holding and put my arm around her. “I know. And so does everyone else, including Kat. She just needed a change. She spent so much time and effort making sure every part of Cornelius was destroyed that she doesn’t know what to do now. She’s just trying to find her place.”Destiny sighed. “Tell Griz that. He is worried about her.”“She’s moving around pretty quickly,” I offered. “I think sh

IZZY POVThey say a Luna’s work is never done. They’re right.I got back and had my bath and some alone time with my mates, but the pack business didn’t slow down. I was involved in the planning of the half-way house we were building as well as another youth center. I approved budgets and began working on the nursery upstairs, a room we hadn’t used in eight years. And then I began to plan the summer solstice celebration, a tradition that we had upheld since we first started it thirteen years ago.“Black and white this year?” Destiny asked. “I hate black and white,” Lucy said. “It makes everything look so formal and this should be fun.”“Okay. Black and gold?” Destiny was relentless. Lucy threw a wadded up napkin at her.“You only want black because you love it,” Lucy accused her.Destiny shrugged.&

IZZY POVThe gavel dropped and the room exploded. I turned and Kat flew into my arms, hugging me. She wasn’t normally demonstrative, and I was pleased. I needed someone to hug right now, and Kat was perfect.She was also a great bodyguard. She pulled me through the reporters at the door and only got tripped up by one of the fae reporters who used projection to try to block us. Kat pushed him over and got me out of there and into a taxi without further incident.“Keystone Airport,” she told the taxi driver, naming a private airport. I was guessing that my mates had communicated with her.“I can’t wait to get back to the pack,” I said, leaning against the back seat. “I’m exhausted. I just want a bath and an uninterrupted night of sleep.”“I’m not going back with you,” Kat said suddenly. I sat up.“Why?

IZZY POVThe twenty-four members of the Councils filed out, leaving me standing at my table, still in the handcuffs. Thanks to Johan, the handcuffs were the normal ones that they used in the human world which meant I could break them if I needed to, but I wasn’t going to. I wanted the shifter world to see what was going on.After the council members left, Kat walked over to me bringing a couple of chairs. She plopped them down and I gratefully sat. “Did you have a vision earlier?” she asked.I nodded, rubbing my forehead. “Was it obvious?”“To me,” she answered. “I know you. I was about ready to create a diversion.”I chuckled. “You’re a good friend,” I said. A look crossed her face for a second but then disappeared. I had said something that bothered her. Curious.Her phone chirped and she looked at it.&n

REESE POVThere was an outburst from the spectators in the viewing area. The main werewolf and main vampire council members were banging their gavel, telling people to be quiet. We all exchanged grins.“We are not the ones on trial here, Luna,” the main vampire council member said fiercely.“No. You’re not. I am. And I am telling you why I had to do what I did,” Izzy said. She turned to the werewolf council again.“Who among you believed that the prophecy from Nehum thirteen years ago was about me?” She kept eye contact until all twelve members had their hands raised. “And who among you thought that the prophecy was also about my sons?” The same twelve hands were raised.“And the same on the vampire side?” she asked, turning. Reluctantly, some of their heads nodded. The others resolutely ignored her, keeping thei

REESE POV“This session will now come to order.” We were watching the trial on television. The Council, in their infinite wisdom, had decided at the last minute to broadcast the trial on a special encrypted channel that Packs would have access to. We had turned it on first thing this morning when we woke up, looking at an empty room somewhere in Salt Lake. We were watching when the members from both Councils filed in, twenty-four in total. Johan was part of the werewolf council. Alessia had gasped when she saw him take his seat.They had brought Izzy in with handcuffs on. I had roared, losing control of my wolf, but Alessia had wrestled me down. “It’s for show,” she had soothed me. “They’re not silver. Just look. She’s fine. She can break them in a second.” Vin was not convinced but at least he gave me control back.“Isadora Killian, Luna of the Moonstone Pack, you were called before the Council today to answer to an entire list of charges. But you were not the only one
