All Chapters of Alpha Siblings: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Maddie POV             My hand shook as I held the letter.  I had a sense I would get the answers to the questions we all had around Lara, Louise, and myself.  Questions that had risen this past week.  Why had I reacted so heavily to Louise’s passing but no connection to Lara’s passing?  How did Kate, her father, and the Beta fit into all of this?              As I sat there with the letter in my hands, Drake reaches over and puts his hand on my leg.  “You can wait to read that, Maddie,” he says quietly.  Nodding, I look at him, “I know.  But I feel it is something I need to do now,” I reply.  “What were in the papers?” I ask him before refocusing on the letter.  “It looks like Lara left you some money as an inheritance from her.  She was a wealthy woman,” he shares with me.  I am surprised but then

Dr. Langille POV             Looking at the faces of the two women in front of me, I knew the information provided today may not change their lives.  But it would provide clarity around a long-standing question they had sought answers to.  Kate much longer than Maddie, from what I understood.  There could be moments of grief upon learning the truth.  The offshoots of finding out what your DNA means can be painful or wonderful news.  Depending on how and why you are receiving the information.             Not wanting to belabour the sharing of results, I clear my throat.  “Ladies, as I mentioned there is a mix of results here so I will start with the obvious.  Maddie, you, Louise and Lara are triplets,” I say.  I see Kate take Maddie’s hand to provide strength to one another.  “However, it gets a little complicated,”

Kate POV             Everyone was startled that the woman who interrupted our meeting was none other than Maddie’s mother.  Nobody was more shocked than Maddie.  She had not decided whether she wanted to see her mother so to have her simply show up and crash the meeting was gut wrenching for her.  As Maryse walked in both Colby and Drake moved closer to each of us respectively.  There was something in the way she moved that caused everyone to be on edge.              Reid stood to ask her what we could do to help her, when she replied, “Sit down, boy, I have important business here and I will not be leaving,” as she pulls up a chair to the table sitting in between Reid and me.  Colby pulls me closer to him, mind-linking with me to trade him seats.  Not wanting to be obvious nor rude, I ignored his request until he pulled me

Alpha Kate             Time stood still.  Everyone was frozen.  And quiet.  There was no sound as everyone stood there looking at the scene unfolding in front of them.  You could see Maryse’s hands at Maddie’s neck.  You could see the look of horror on Drake’s face.  I clenched the back of Colby’s shirt.  Reid stood there looking at Drake and Maddie in shock.  And Maryse had a faint smile on her face.  I could not see Maddie.             Then suddenly everything happened in fast forward.  Yelling.  Drake screaming “NO!”.  Maddie falling backwards into Drake’s arms and Maryse’s standing there with a shocked look on her face.  As Drake caught Maddie’s body, he slid to the ground with her in his arms.  Watching Maryse she started to fall like a rag doll.  Her legs crumbled under her as sh

Kate POV             Getting home kept us busy, Amelie had been missing us like crazy.  I knew she was well cared for when we were gone but both Colby and I felt that guilt a parent feels when we do not feel we are giving enough to our child.  Having been torn in so many directions the past couple weeks really increased the challenge.             But we were home and dedicating our time to Amelie one hundred percent.  The first day we got home, we let her stay home from school so we could go out and enjoy ourselves as a family.  Of course, that set the precedent for Amelie to ask every day if we could do that, which we quickly shut down.             Colby had a lot of work to catch up on as did I.  We went to work after seeing Amelie off to school.  We did agree to dr
