Filed to story: The Luna Mated to Triplet Alphas Novel
My face fell. I hoped they were not using her because of us, her mates, being the Alphas.
“I never heard you talk about them before. Is this a recent friendship?” I asked hesitantly.
“Um,” said Chasity, frowning at her marinara. “Yes and no. I have a locker near theirs so I always see them and the day before our birthday, I randomly had a nice conversation with them and then I helped them with some math and they helped me with my makeup and hair and outfit for my birthday. They got me birthday presents!” Said Chasity smiling.
“I’m happy for you, Chasity,” said Calix with a wink.
I was relieved to hear that the girls had started talking to her before we were fated even if it was literally the day before.
“Those were the first presents I had gotten in years,” said Chasity, reaching for her glass of coke.
“What about our gifts?” Asked Felix, pouting.
“That happened after. Mina and Tina beat you to it,” she said pointedly.
“They sound dumb,” said Felix.
I kicked him under the table.
“They’re just not good at math,” said Chasity honestly. “But they’re great at other things!”
“Like hair and makeup?” Said Felix, raising his eyebrows.
Chasity glowered.
“Never mind,” she said, getting upset.
“I get it,” yelled Felix, looking at me.
“What?” I asked, alarmed.
“No, I kicked you under the table this time,” admitted Calix.
We all burst into laughter, even Chasity.
“Look, Baby, I don’t mean to be harsh. I just want you to be careful. I don’t want you to be…taken advantage of. Some people might suddenly want to hang all over you. Don’t trust fully them if they only started being nice to you when you became fated to us,” explained Felix gently.
“If you were listening properly you would have heard me say we started talking the day before my birthday!” Snapped Chasity. “And you three are the ones who only started being nice to me when I became fated to you!”
Felix blinked. “Well, excuse me,” said Felix gruffly.
“Felix, don’t start,” I warned him. “That’s not completely inaccurate. I understand your point, Chasity. Noted.”
Calix put his head in his hands. He was clearly stressed. Chasity’s face fell looking at him.
“If I’m so difficult to be with, why are we even bothering,” said Chasity softly.
“What would you have me do, Chasity?” Said Felix, raising his voice.
“Felix,” I said pointedly.
“NO!” He yelled, looking at me. I turned away and took a deep breath to calm my angry wolf.
Felix turned back to Chasity. “What do you want from me?” He shouted at Chasity.
She jumped.
“Chasity,” said Felix.
She looked she was about to cry.
Felix sighed.
“Chasity, I love you. I can’t just pretend I don’t. If you don’t want to be with us…” said Felix, pausing.
I could hear his heart racing. I really did not think any of us would ever be the same if Chasity officially rejected us.
“I don’t know what to tell you anymore,” said Felix. “All I know is that I really am sorry for how things turned out. You have every right to hate me but I thought we were going to try.”
“I am trying,” said Chasity softly.
She was staring at her lasagna and clutching her fork. Felix brushed the hair out of her face.
“I’m trying too,” he said gently.
“I know,” she whispered.
“Is it the trip?” Asked Calix, finally raising his head and intervening.
Chasity shrugged.
“Do you not want to go? Do you not want to be alone with us? Is that it?” Asked Calix.
Chasity was actually crying now, tears slowly rolling down her cheeks.
“I’m scared, ok,” she admitted.
Felix pulled her to him and held her tightly. She sobbed into his ch*st. I r*bbed her back, trying to soothe her. Calix was reaching across the table, stroking her hair.
“I’m really sorry for yelling,” I heard Felix murmur into her ear.
“That was out of line and disrespectful, Baby. I’m sorry,” he whispered, k**sing her cheek.
She sniffled. She settled down.
“It’s not that,” she said. “I was scared from before. I…I haven’t been in the water since…”
She stopped. She did not have to say anything else. We knew exactly what she meant.
“You’ve been in the bath tub,” said Felix.
“Felix,” grumbled Calix.
“What? That bath tub is huge and you love it, don’t you?” Asked Felix.
“Yeah,” said Chasity, shrugging.
“The sea is a big bath tub,” reasoned Felix.
“Maybe,” I said.
If it calmed her down, sure the sea was a big bath tub.
“What about swimming lessens at school? Isn’t that a mandatory part of the Winter Moon High curriculum? It’s part of P.E. for our pack,” I recalled.
“The Alpha wrote a note after I freaked out at my first swimming lesson and the school called your parents,” she whispered.
I was not surprised. That was the one incident they felt guilty over. Us dipping Chasity in the ice fishing hole when we were younger. We were such little monsters.
“Ok, back to the bath tub,” said Felix. “Can you think of the sea as a big one?”
“I guess,” she said. “I’ll try.”
“Good, Luna, thanks for trying with us,” I murmured, k**sing her all over her face.
