All Chapters of Triplet Alphas and Their Reluctant Mate: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

IZZY POVCaleb gave me a kiss on the forehead.  “Goddess speed,” he whispered, and then he turned back to his radio, headset and computer screen.  The battle had already started.Griz and I ran across the tarmac and climbed into the helicopter.  The pilot looked back at us.  “Ready?” he asked.  I nodded and the aircraft lifted with a sickening lurch.  I held on and snuck a glance at Griz.  He looked determined, which was the look he generally had. We didn’t talk.  We knew what the plan was, and we knew that we would get it done.  I was told that Cornelius had the house built the same way the home he had me imprisoned in, so the floorplan was familiar, kind of.  It had been twelve and a half years since I was taken captive.The chopper crossed over the ground quickly.  I looked down and saw the tracks that the snow machines took and, as we got closer, evidence of bat

IZZY POVWith a groan I let go of Toby’s neck and painfully pushed him off from me. It took a couple of tries to push his dead weight completely off from my body. I finally freed myself and climbed to my knees, using the wall to pull myself up. Then I painfully walked over to the spear that Toby had lost.I bent down and picked it up, hefting it in my hand, then I walked back to Toby’s body. I gripped the spear with both hands and raised it above my head. With as much strength as I could muster, I drove the spear down through his body, piercing his heart and driving the tip of the spear into the floor underneath him. I dropped my hands to my side and staggered back, trying to catch my breath. I could see Griz’s body out of the corner of my eye and he was still in the same position he was when he had fallen over after stabbing Toby.I began moving as fast as I could, beginning to panic sob. “Griz,” I gasped out.I dropped to my knees beside his body and ran my hands over him f

IZZY POVThe plane touched down and I unbuckled my belt with a sigh.  Troi uncurled herself from the floor around my ankles and stretched.  I looked over and saw that Kat was curled up on the couch in the back of the plane and Griz was sitting bolt upright in the chair beside me.  He looked worried.“What’s up big guy?” I asked.  We hadn’t really had the opportunity to talk since leaving the compound.  I had thought it would be a fight to get Griz to come home with me.  To my surprise, he agreed without so much as a complaint.  He usually refused to leave when there were still loose ends, one time explaining to me that he slept better when he knew what the outcomes were.  I got it.  I sometimes had nightmares that Cornelius was still alive, and I think it would have helped if I could have seen his death.“Do you think you could not tell Destiny what happened to me at the compound?”

IZZY POV“I’m what?” I asked the doctor weakly, looking up at my mates who were grinning at each other like idiots. “Pregnant,” the doctor said again.  “Congratulations, Luna.  You will be due in the fall this time.”He packed up his stethoscope and gave me a reassuring smile before he left the room.  Ethan looked at me with a massive grin. “Do you think it’s triplets again?” he asked.  I looked at him with disbelief. “Umm, I didn’t know I was pregnant until thirty seconds ago.  I have no idea if I’m pregnant with triplets or not.”  I shook my head in disbelief but allowed a tiny smile to peek through.  I just thought I had picked up a bug while I was up north.  That was the only thing that I could think of that would explain my fatigue and nausea.  Turns out I was growing a pup.  Who knew?&

IZZY POVI was feeling restless.  My dream had done more than give me excitement and hope.  It gave me energy.I bounded out of bed and got dressed in real clothing for the first time in a week.  I had been living in sweatpants and hoodies for most of that time, ignoring everyone as much as I could. I decided I was going to go surprise my mates in their office, but first I was going to say hi to my boys.“Mom!” Axl shouted, running to me and throwing himself in my arms.  I had gently knocked on the door, not sure if they would hear me since I could hear their gaming devices.  I should have known that Axl would have his nose in a book instead of playing whatever popular game the other two were enjoying.“Hey, son,” I said, ruffling his hair.  “Just checking up on you guys.”“You can come in,” he said, eagerly, opening the door.  I saw that they had drawn the curtains
