Filed to story: The Luna Mated to Triplet Alphas Novel
Felix finally decided to shake Danny’s hand.
“I’m Danny Saunders,” said Danny Saunders unnecessarily to the room.
We clearly knew who he was.
“I require an audience with all three Alphas. You three will be my first three interviews,” said Danny.
He had a strange way of repeating himself.
“You sure you said ‘three’ enough,” muttered Felix.
“Is there somewhere we can be alone?” Continued Danny, unruffled. “A more intimate setting?”
“Buy us dinner first, at least,” joked Felix wryly.
I smiled slightly. I was glad to hear Felix crack a joke. It hurt me to see my brothers so drained of life. Danny remained stone faced.
“All right, let’s go to the conference room,” I suggested.
Beta Keaton and Dad attempted to follow us up the stairs.
“Just the three lovers of Chasity for now, thanks,” said Danny.
Felix snorted. We went to the conference room with Danny and sat down.
“I need to interview you separately and as a group. Your pick. What will we do first?” Said Danny, opening his briefcase and revealing an old-fashioned looking tape recorder. I noticed he already had a few newspaper cl*ppings of Chasity, Felix, Calix and me in a folder. My heart hurt seeing our smiling faces on our joint birthday. It had been the first big news story about the four of us. This morning’s headline would be another one.
Calix
“Together first,” I insisted.
I felt so shaky without Chasity. I didn’t feel like being away from my brothers even for a few minutes right now.
“How long is this gonna take? My Baby is out there. I must have recounted this story half a dozen times already,” grumbled Felix.
“I can imagine your frustration but I need to conduct my investigation independently from the police and warriors. That is what you hired me for? Isn’t it?” Said Danny.
We nodded. Danny made us start all the way back. He wanted to hear about how we first met Chasity and what our relationship was like before that fateful birthday. Then, he questioned us about our parents’ reactions to us being mated to Chasity as well as our own reactions.
“I knew I loved her instantly,” said Felix without hesitation. “I was…relieved in a sense. Now, I could love her more openly. Now, I could try to convince her to love me. I hadn’t realised how much I wanted her to be the one until I found out that she was.”
Danny nodded encouragingly. He looked at me. He had a way of asking questions without necessarily verbalising them. I pictured Chasity’s beautiful face in my mind. My ch*st hurt like there was a band constricting around my heart.
“My relationship with Chasity was different. I never tried to hide my liking for her. My brothers knew how I felt. My mother knew how I felt. I never hid my feelings themselves but I dialled down their intensity. I pretended it was a fleeting crush and not a…devotion,” I explained. “It was more than like. Even though she was not the first girl I dated…she was my first love…long before the mate bond. I think little me fell in love with her from the first time I saw her on the doorstep. When she became my official mate, I was able to court her properly. I was eager. I felt lucky to be matched with her. I felt emboldened too. Now, I knew the chances of her loving me back were very good. Fate was on our side…until now…” I mumbled, trailing off awkwardly.
Alex sighed. I could feel his sorrow emanating from him like smoke filling a room. It was suffocating: being around all this sadness, some of it mine and some of it belonging to my elder brothers. We all wanted to wake up from this nightmare.
“Alex,” prompted Danny. “Same question. Can you compare your feelings for Chasity before and after the mate bond took effect?”
“Is this therapy or an investigation?” Snarled Felix.
“Both,” said Danny unabashedly.
“I’ve always loved her,” said Alex simply.
“Well, don’t talk us half to death,” said Felix.
“There isn’t much to say,” said Alex defensively.
Danny raised his brows. I knew Alex was holding back his emotions like he always did.
“Chasity always ignored me before the bond. I was…petty. I was annoyed about how little attention she gave to me. It was so easy to get the attention of every girl in the pack besides the one I wanted. When I found out she was mine, I was determined to earn her forgiveness and win her over. How is this helping the investigation?” Asked Alex pointedly.
I was wondering that myself.
“It’s helping me compile a list of suspects,” said Danny.
I glanced at the list:
Luna Ronnie – begrudgingly took Chasity in. Vying for Calix’s attention.
Sandra – recent ex of Alex. Obsessed with birthing a new Alpha.
Tonya – recent ex of Felix. Jealous streak. A woman scorned.
Avery – recent ex of Calix. Unlikely to be main suspect. Possible accomplice.
Roxie – former ex of Felix. Old grudge.
“You think our Mom is capable of this?” I asked, feeling affronted.
He did not attempt to hide his notes. He did the opposite. He turned his notes towards us so that we could see them more clearly.
“You think she’s not?” Countered Danny.
I frowned. He put a pencil down in front of us. We stared at it.
“If any of you are confident enough to put your missing mate’s head on a block where Luna Ronnie is concerned, then take the pencil and cross out her name!” Instructed Danny.
He sat back, waiting. No one took the pencil.
