Lahat ng Kabanata ng Triplet Alphas and Their Reluctant Mate: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

I made my way back to the table I was sitting at and fell heavily into the seat.  Caleb patted me on the shoulder. “Are you okay?” he asked quietly.  I gave him a rueful smile. “Thanks for letting me take care of that,” I said.  “I know you were right behind me.” “Just ready to help if needed.  It took us a long time to learn, but you are incredibly capable.  You handled it better than I would have.” “Thanks,” I acknowledged, accepting a glass of punch from a waiter that was walking around.  My hands were still shaking.  Trying to draw the attention away from that, I craned my neck.  “Any idea where the strawberry shortcake went?  I’ve been waiting for that all night.” Caleb chuckled.  “I’ll go get you some, love,” he said, standing up and heading to the buffet.  I sat back in my chair and, within minutes, the chair next to me was occupied again.  I turned with a smile, expect

IZZY POVIt took me twelve minutes to get ready. Initially, I decided I wasn’t going to go with her, and I figured she could drag me out if it was so important to her.   I would fight her if I had to, I decided.  I wasn’t going to go do what she wanted me to do.  I sat on a stool in my bathroom with my arms crossed over my chest, preparing to be stubborn.  I lost my nerve at the seven-minute mark.  I rushed to put on my clothes and tie up my hair, giving my reflection a rueful look.  What can I say?  I got my stubbornness from my mom, and I knew her well enough to know that she would battle me to get her way.  I was too tired for that.Fortunately, she was preoccupied with a text she had gotten to give me more than just a glance when I came out of my bedroom.  I was glaring at her, but she seemed very unconcerned. “You need to eat something,” she said.“I&rs

ETHAN POV“Cursed?” I began laughing.  “Surely the pack members aren’t that ignorant.”  I forked up some spaghetti.  We were all in the dining room enjoying the delicious dinner that Joanna had made for us.Lucy shook her head.  “We couldn’t get served in two restaurants,” she said, still angry.  “I know Katie is behind these rumors.”“Is everyone really that superstitious?” Izzy asked, looking amused.  “I can’t imagine everyone thinks this way.” Someone cleared their throat and we turned to look.  Joanna was standing at the door with a basket of garlic bread. “Sirs?  Miss Lucy is correct.  Most of the villagers believe that the Luna is cursed.”  Joanna looked apologetic.  “Of course, none of your staff does and neither do our families.”“We knew you wouldn&

IZZY POV“Let me help you,” I shouted to Lucy through the doorway separating her office from mine.  She had a huge pile of work on her desk and mine was empty.  As the rumor of my being cursed grew, my workload decreased.  No one wanted a cursed Luna helping them.“I’m okay, Izzy,” she said.  “You don’t have to do my work.”I walked through the door connecting our offices and pointed to a stack on her desk.  “They never have to know that I did it,” I wheedled.  “Just let me help.”  She sighed in resignation and gratefully handed over a stack.“It’s just things that need to be ordered,” she said.  “I have no idea why they’re insisting that I do it.”“Because I’m the cursed one,” I said in a lighthearted voice.  I was trying really hard to not let it bother me while I rode this out,

CALEB POVI knew what was coming.  I had already heard it and I had completely lost control of Ren when it had been told to me.  Ren wanted to go into the village and rip everyone involved to shreds.  Fortunately, I was able to fight him and get him to go to the Alpha House.  Thank goodness Heka was able to talk to him.My brothers hadn’t heard this part yet.  I would have to keep an eye on them to make sure they didn’t go into the rage like Ren did.“Do you remember your nurse at the hospital?” Elder Johan asked Izzy kindly.  She shook her head.“I had a few, I believe.  I was pretty out of it.”Elder Johan nodded.  “Yes.  But Anne Thorne was the main nurse assigned to your care.”  Izzy was quiet, watching him with rapt attention.  Elder Johan looked at me, hesitant.  I didn’t blame him.  I had gone ballistic and there was only on
