Filed to story: The Luna Mated to Triplet Alphas Novel
“Is my mate okay?” I asked immediately.
“Oh, Alpha! Um, may I be so bold as to ask which one of you it is? I need to document who was called in a case like this,” said the nurse.
“Calix. Is she okay?” I repeated, stressing each word.
“Yes, yes, sorry, of course, yes, she’s fine. She um was involved in an altercation…” said the nurse trailing off. “…but the injuries are minor!” She added quickly.
“A girl hit her?” I wondered, instantly angry, but not surprised.
I had expected that there would be cattiness. Chasity was currently engaged to three Alphas. There might be a lot of girls with crushes on Alex, Felix or me. Their blood was probably boiling with bitterness and envy. Whoever tried to fight the Luna needed to be dealt with very seriously though. I was thinking expulsion from Winter Moon High or Suspension at the very least.
“A young man attacked her,” said the nurse reluctantly, clearly worried about my reaction.
“What?!” I hissed.
“He’s known for being a bit of a bully and…” began the nurse.
“What’s his name?” I said, cutting her off.
“Four football players rescued her and they’re watching over here right now in the nurse’s room…” she explained.
“What. Is. His. Name?” I enunciated blankly, getting annoyed with her.
She was not listening to my questions and it was pissing me off.
“Parker Ford,” mumbled the nurse, lowering her voice.
“I’ll be there shortly,” I said, hanging up before she could ramble some more.
I grabbed my coat and gloves and headed downstairs. Mom tried to stop me on my way out.
“Honey! What’s wrong?! You look so upset?! Has Chasity caused some trouble at school?!” Asked Mom, hurrying down the stairs after me.
“Were you eavesdropping, Mom?” I demanded.
I had zero patience left today. Mom folded her arms, annoyed by my tone. I ignored her, slammed the door and got in my car. I made that fifteen-minute drive in less than five minutes. I remembered the way to the nurse’s room. I was seething. My hands were balled into fists at my sides. Who the f**k did this fool think he was? What kind of guy bullies a girl? Werewolf males were so much bigger than she-wolves. What kind of low-life picked on a
“Calix!” Squealed Chasity, snapping me out of my inner monologue as I entered the room.
She launched herself at me and I caught her, holding onto her tightly. Her smell helped calm me down. I brushed her curls out of her face and stiffened when I saw it. There was a huge swollen bruise on her face like she had been punched. I saw red. The football players the nurse had mentioned were standing around looking at me.
“Where is he?” I said, half-surprised I could still speak.
My wolf was fighting me for dominance and that almost never happened. I had a much more harmonious relationship with my wolf than most.
“He usually skips class around now to go smoke weed by the bleachers,” said one of the football players.
I made my way to the bleachers with Chasity and the guys following behind me. I didn’t want Chasity to see this. A Luna should not have to see such things.
“I’d rather you stayed inside, Chasity!” I said bluntly.
“No, Calix, it’s ok you don’t have to talk to him. It was a misunderstanding!” She squeaked.
I wasn’t surprised she was trying to talk me out of punishing the guy but she was new to this. She had never been permitted to go to pack meetings before, not even the ones involving the whole pack. She had never seen how those who blatantly disrespected the pack leaders were handled. Sure, I wanted to kill him but that wasn’t the point. Even if I had wanted to be lenient, I couldn’t. An Alpha who could not protect his own Luna surely could not protect the pack. An Alpha’s Luna was sacred. Attacking the Luna was worse than attacking the Alpha. At least, a wolf fighting me, Alex or Felix had honour. This guy had none.
I crunched through the snow. I spotted a group of guys hanging out on the bleachers. I walked up to the bleachers. I vaguely recognised all of them as pack members but I did not know which one was Parker exactly.
“Parker, come here,” I commanded, not using my Alpha voice.
If he had any scrap of decency or remorse, he would readily identify himself and fall to his knees and start apologising.
“Aww, come on, man, give me a break, she wasn’t spoken for a few weeks ago. I didn’t know,” said the biggest guy on the bleachers whilst he remained sitting.
My wolf growled. This Parker guy was almost as big as me. The thought of him putting his hands on Chasity made me indescribably angry. His friends had the decency to look scared and embarrassed. I wondered if any of them had been involved in bullying Chasity.
“Did any of them have anything to do with it?” I asked, looking at football player who had told me where to look.
The footballer shook his head. His teammates shook their heads too. Fine then. Just Parker to deal with. If Alex was here, he would take the names of all of Parkers’ associates. He believed in keeping a note of who was close to the troublemakers in the pack as they tended to be the next to step out of line. If Felix was here, he would snap everyone’s neck and dump them in a mass grave. He was nuts. Chasity made him sane though, but she made me crazy! And right now, I was potentially seconds away from committing murder by reason of temporary insanity!
Calix
I took my time walking up the bleachers until I was standing right in front of Parker who remained seated, glaring at me defiantly.
“I’m not scared of you! Aren’t you like the nicest one?” He said, snickering.
He actually looked to his friends to laugh with him but their faces remained frozen in fear.
“I am actually,” I said with a shrug, laughing along with him.
Parker was guffawing like an idiot, thinking this was all fun and games. So not only had this prick punched my Luna, he was also laughing in my face about it. I grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, silencing him mid-laugh. I flung him off the bleachers, not even using all of my Alpha strength. He flew several dozen feet and landed in the snow-covered football field. Touchdown!
His friends dispersed. I let them go, hoping they had learnt a valuable lesson today. There had been a sickening crack as his body had hit the snow. It suddenly dawned on me how similar that sound was to the sound of me snapping Rhonda’s neck in my dream. Maybe, my dream was meant to tell me Chasity needed my help. I had been dreaming it while Parker must have been harassing her.
Chasity went running down the field. I watched her reach Parker’s body and stare at the blood-stained snow around him.
My little Goddess was too good to people. Many of them didn’t deserve it. They didn’t deserve her forgiveness. Sometimes, I felt Mom didn’t deserve Chasity’s forgiveness in particular but truth be told, I was glad she had it. I was still hopeful that one day they could have a decent relationship.
I began walking back towards the front of the school where I’d parked.
Wait for mate, growled my wolf who rarely verbalised anything.
We were usually in sync to the point that we did not need words.
She’s checking on that idiot! I said, annoyed.
I couldn’t stand to look at him anymore.
She’ll be with us in a minute, I said.
He could wake up and hurt her, snarled my wolf.
I stopped in my tracks. If he did that, I would throw him in the dungeon and let him starve to death. Snapping his neck would be too merciful if his first thought upon waking up was to try to harm my Luna again.
“He’s alive!” Yelled Chasity.
My back was to her. The football players were still following me. I was so angry I hadn’t thought to thank them yet for helping Chasity.
“Should I tell the nurse to go check on him in the snow since Chasity says he’s alive?” Asked one of the football players.
“Do whatever you want,” I said with a shrug.
He nodded.
“Thanks,” I said to the four of them, grateful to them for how they had looked out for Chasity.
They smiled proudly.
“No need to thank us, Alpha,” said one of them, grinning.
I remembered Chasity saying a guy at school had stolen her hair tie. My wolf growled, jealousy flaring up within us. Was one of these guys her not-so-secret admirer? I supposed I could not blame him. She was so beautiful. It would be unrealistic to think none of the wolves wanted her when so many of the she-wolves wanted my brothers and me.
“No problem, Alpha,” said another of the football players.
“You’re welcome, Alpha,” murmured a third player, looking at me in awe.
“Not a problem, Big C!” Exclaimed the fourth.
I laughed.
The fourth player bounced knuckles with me.
“Your girl kicked him in the balls!” Said the fourth guy, sounding imp**ssed.
I was imp**ssed too. I wished she had been able to knock him out cold. My elder brothers and I would always protect her but we should probably start training her just in case.
“I thought you should know! I would’ve been proud of my lady!” Exclaimed the footballer.
Chasity had come over to us. She blushed at being complimented. She waved goodbye to the football players and the four of them ran up to a group of students who had just come outside, probably to witness me handling the situation. They had missed it though so the footballers seemed to be giving them a play by play. I blushed.
I opened the car door for Chasity. She hopped in and I drove us away from the school and up one of the many mountain roads in our icy mountainous pack lands. I parked at a popular lookout point. The sea and the horizon could be seen from here. There were white blocks of ice and frost near the shoreline. The cold unfrozen water of the deep sea looked black from here. The black and white scenery had given the lookout point its name, Domino. Back when I went to Winter Moon High, many couples would come here to hookup. Felix and Alex had both taken girls to Domino. Even though I had always had a girl on my arm, I had never taken anyone here. I had always wanted to my mate here, not just anyone.
Now that we were sitting across from each other, I realised I wanted to be marked right here right now, but I needed to talk to Chasity about what had happened at school today first. If those footballers had not intervened and the nurse had not called me, I knew Chasity might have tried to hide the whole incident and handle the bullying on her own.
Chasity leant towards me, intent upon k**sing me. My wolf gave a playful growl of approval. I grasped her chin gently. I tilted her face towards me so that I could examine her bruise in this light. Chasity looked upset.
“I want to know what happened Chasity in your own words, ok? Please don’t lie to me, remember we said no secrets. That works both ways,” I said, imagining how horrible today must have been for my sweet Goddess.
“Ok,” she said softly, nodding. “I, uh, was in the library, reading. Ashton was there. He’s cool.”
Ashton? Was that the footballer? Was that the guy who stole the hair tie? Should I be worried about this?
“I was sitting alone though,” said Chasity quickly.
I relaxed a little. At least, she had the footballers looking out for her at school. It made sense. Most footballers were interested in becoming future pack warriors so protecting the future Luna seemed like an appropriate task.
