All Chapters of Triplet Alphas and Their Reluctant Mate: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

IZZY POV“I admit, I didn’t think of that,” I said, slowly, “But that’s no reason not to take your chance and finally have a mate that you deserve.”Elder Johan didn’t say a word, just watched my mom closely.“But we’ve never been apart,” mom protested.“I know,” I said.  “And I’m sad.  But, honestly, you deserve this chance.  It’s not like you’ll be leaving the country, right?  Just going to Salt Lake City where the council is located.  That’s a short flight away.”I wrapped my arms around my mom.  “You’ve been taking care of me my entire life.  Let me take care of myself for a change.  And you take this chance.”Elder Johan finally spoke.  “Alessia, it’s not like you’ll never come back here.  I can work remotely a lot of the time and just go to Salt

CALEB POVWe held the Funeral Rite for the fallen the next night, as was customary.  Izzy was part of the procession that carried Stella to the lake.  There was no lack of volunteers to help her.  As devastating as this last battle was, the townspeople saw her true love for the Pack and any remaining resentment on their part disappeared.  The parents of the children that Stella helped Izzy save were especially grateful.I held my mate as silent tears coursed down her face.  She bravely lit the pyre, and we pushed Stella’s boat into the water along with the other three warriors.  Someone began singing the funeral song for warriors and all the voices joined in, sending our Warriors on to peace.One by one the villagers turned to go back home.  Izzy stood there, watching the boat sink lower and lower into the water as the flames engulfed the body of her friend.  Finally, it dipped below the surface and the light was blo

IZZY POVI surprised her.  She wasn’t expecting to find me here, in Seattle, at the club she was frequenting.  Honestly, I surprised myself.  I knew we would find her, but I didn’t think it would be this quickly.  She was predictable, I guess.She stood for a moment, sizing me up and trying to decide my intentions.  I didn’t move, just kept a smile on my face.  I didn’t even mind link Reese because I knew she would see that and react.She gave me a once over and then shrugged, moving into the first stall of the bathroom. “You got tired of playing the victim and decided to come to the big city?” Katie asked through the stall. “Nope,” I said.  “Heard you were here and wanted to see.”  I mind linked Reese to get his butt over here.“I guess I should be honored that you want to spend time with your sister,” Katie said. 

REESE POV I watched Izzy banter with the warriors, and I felt massive pride swelling in my chest. She was phenomenal, my mate. And I trusted her. But I was so afraid. My mom had literally withered up and died after my father’s death. She couldn’t survive the mate bond breaking. I knew I wouldn’t be strong enough either, and there was no way I would be able to sit and let Katie kill Izzy. This fight wasn’t supposed to be to the death, but it wouldn’t end until one yielded to the other. I was sure that neither woman was going to yield. This was going to be a bloody battle. Izzy straightened up and began walking to the Pavilion where Katie was already waiting. Katie had stamped out a circle in the frost. “We need some ground rules,” she said pompously. I growled a warning at her that she blatantly ignored. “Everyone needs to stay out of this circle. If someone from Izzy’s side enters the circle, it’s an automatic win for me.” “Fine,” Izzy said quickly before I could prot

REESE POVI directed all of the warriors except for Tonya to stay and take care of clean up.  A council member was on their way to take custody of Vanessa and to get the official statement from everyone involved.  My priority was to get Izzy back to the hotel.  The council could come there and get her statement.  We didn’t need to wait on them.Izzy didn’t seem unduly upset over the recent events.  She was strangely calm which almost worried me.“How are you doing, little one?” I asked.  She looked up at me with a smile. “At peace, if that makes any sense.”“Explain it to me,” I said, opening the car door.  She slid in and I climbed up next to her.  I was going to let Tonya drive.“Katie has been behind every bit of sabotage and deceit that I’ve encountered since I came to the pack.  Because of some weird sense of family, and becaus
