Triplet Alphas and Their Reluctant Mate Chapter 14
CALEB ETHAN AND REESE POVReese slipped his cell phone back into his pocket. “We might have a problem,” he said to his brothers. Caleb looked up from the game he was playing on his phone. “What is it?” he asked.Reese looked over to make sure Ethan was paying attention. “That was Brian. He just talked to Lucy. Seems Katie was at the Casey’s Couture making trouble for Izzy.” Ethan sighed. “Could Lucy have overreacted? Maybe trying to get points with mom and dad by watching out for Izzy?”“She called Izzy a human and a Bella Swan. Told her that she wasn’t our kind and that she was a freak.”Caleb sat up. “Oh, crap,” he said. “How did Izzy take it?”Reese shrugged. “I think you and I had better go find out.” He turned to look at Ethan. “And you need to have that talk with Katie. Now.”***************ETHAN POVI called Katie and asked her to meet me in at the coffee shop as soon as possible. She was a little hesitant and I could tell that she knew that I knew what she ha

IZZY POVI decided to get a little dressed up for dinner. I put on a long maxi skirt and a tank top with a cropped cardigan over the top. I strapped my feet into high heels, something I rarely wear, but I needed for tonight’s set up. Then I headed out to the staircase.My plan was to hang out until I heard the twins on the landing below. I would then “accidently trip” on my heels and take a tumble. If they caught me, I would know that they had the speed of a werewolf. If not, well, I would have a few bruises for sure.I have to admit, I almost abandoned my plan when I started thinking about what would happen if one of the triplets didn’t catch me. I didn’t want to go to my first dance with a broken ankle, but I was pretty sure that they were wolves. There were just too many things that didn’t make sense until you threw the werewolf card in the mix.I could hear voices in the hallway below me, so it was time, I decided. I started walking down the steps and then stopped. I cou

IZZY POVYou know that moment when you realize you made a big mistake? Yeah. I’m there.After I packed my backpack, I wrote a quick note for my mom and stuck it on my bed before sneaking out of the house. I had used my phone to check satellite maps and had found the nearest road. I figured if I could hitchhike about a hundred miles, there was a pretty big city where I was sure I would find a job and a cheap apartment. I just needed a few weeks to get everything set up so that mom could join me. I knew it was a bad idea for her to stay in the pack with Silvo. I didn’t want to see her hurt again, and I didn’t trust my father. He hurt her once. He would do it again.Shortly after I left, it started snowing. I still had my phone, but I no longer had coverage. I had taken a lot of detours, trying to find the areas that were easiest to walk in the snow, and now I didn’t know if I was still heading in the right direction. It was dark; night came early in the winter in the mounta

IZZY POVI couldn’t feel my grip on the tree branch because my hands were so cold, but I could see the blood dripping off the end into the snow from the cut on my palm. I tried to see through the dark, but the creatures were too far away. They were close, though. I could smell the stench of rotten food and dirty bodies.One finally stepped close enough for me to see. I gasped. It was the wolf of my dream, the werewolf that was trying to kill me. Another one stepped into view and then a third. I took one step forward and tried to look menacing.They were pacing back and forth, sizing me up. I took another step forward, putting my weight on that front foot, and took a practice swipe at the wolf on the left. He didn’t flinch, but he did stop pacing to look at me. I took another couple of swipes, getting used to the weight and balance of the branch. I was pretty sure I was going to get hurt, but I was most definitely going to try to take at least one down with me. The wolf on

IZZY POVI woke up the next morning, late. The sun was streaming through the window, and I realized that mom hadn’t come in to wake me for training. I felt a warm weight next to me and realized it was Caleb. Ethan was on the other side of me and Reese was laying across the foot of the bed. Good thing I had a king-sized bed, I thought wryly.We had stayed up until dawn, just talking before falling asleep. They were mostly answering my questions about being a wolf, being part of a pack and being a Luna. Some of it scared me but I was excited for this new part of my life. For once, I would belong somewhere. I was no longer a freak.I looked over and Caleb stared back at me, his eyes open. I gave him a grin and he returned it.“You are quite pretty, you know that?” he asked, reaching over and taking a strand of my hair in his. “And these curls. Absolutely beautiful.”“Mmm,” said Ethan from behind me. “And you smell amazing. Like vanilla and mangos and sunshine.”“Sunshine?” I

IZZY POV“Oh, Izzy,” Destiny squealed, looking at me. “You’re beautiful!”It was the night of the ball, and my friends were over, getting dressed and helping me. I looked in the mirror and blushed. I didn’t recognize myself. My red hair was in an intricate braid that came over one shoulder and Sami had pulled tendrils of curls out, framing my face. Somehow, /she had managed to do magic with mascara, making my lashes look a mile long and my eyes look huge in my face. The rest of the makeup she had left natural, but she did something to my lips to make them shine. I smiled at the girl in the mirror and gave a little twirl.The dress was perfect. It looked like a Cinderella ball gown with a fitted top, teeny tiny waist and flared out. It was an ombre effect, starting out a baby blue on my bodice and ending in silver at the very bottom. It gave the effect that I was floating.“You girls look amazing, too,” I said, and I meant it. Destiny’s dress was perfect for her, blood red a

IZZY POVWe had scrubbed on the dress until our hands were raw and we risked damaging the dress more. Lucy was almost in tears.“It’s okay, Izzy,” she tried to console me. “We can all go back to the Alpha House and have our own celebration. You can’t go out there in a ruined dress. Everyone will understand.”I hated that idea. It would let Katie win this round and I wasn’t going to do that. I squared my shoulders, determined. “Get me a pair of scissors,” I told Sami. She nodded and disappeared out into the Packhouse. Destiny looked at me, curiously. “What are you going to do?” she asked. I smiled.“Cut out the stain,” I said. Honestly, I wasn’t really sure what I was going to do but I was pretty good at thrifting clothes into cute outfits. Sami came back with a pair of scissors and a small box. “Emily told me to bring you this,” she said. I opened it to see a clothing repair kit with needle and thread and other items. “Emily?” Lucy asked, curiously. “She’s Katie’s fri

Chapter Twenty-OneIZZY POVThe night was everything I had hoped it would be. I danced with so many people, including the triplets. They claimed me a few times, reluctant to let me out of their sight. I have never had this much fun before.They had done something with the lights, causing them to sparkle and twinkle, creating a magical effect. The decorations were subtle and classy, done in a cream and champagne color. There were cream-colored roses everywhere, scenting the air, and champagne colored ribbons woven throughout the arches and trellises that had been put up to create a magical feel.The band was also amazing, playing request after request. The music never stopped, just transitioned smoothly into one song after another. My feet were sore from all of the dancing. It seemed that I was passed from one hand to another; all of the triplets’ friends had taken their turns. I was tired a

Triplet Alphas and Their Reluctant Mate Epilogue
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?
Triplet Alphas and Their Reluctant Mate Chapter 188
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
