Chapter 189 – The Luna Mated to Triplet Alphas Novel

Filed to story: The Luna Mated to Triplet Alphas Novel

I covered my face with my hands. My ch*st was exploding with literal pain. Chasity’s past psychological pain was like fresh physical pain to me, stabbing me all over. It was unbearable.

Calix

Felix was an emotional wreck and Alex was looking pale and stressed.

“Mom,” I said, looking her in the eyes, hoping it would be difficult for her to lie to me.

We needed the truth.

“I don’t understand! Why would you do that? Chasity was little. Why didn’t you just let her have the comfort of a relative? You never liked her very much,” I said, keeping things honest.

I was trying to keep the hysteria at bay but my grieving wolf was clawing his way out. Instead of rage building, I could feel the tears brimming in my eyes.

“I didn’t realise you…hated her,” I said softly.

“No, no. I do not hate Chasity. She’s not my cup of tea but…”

Mom trailed off, ending her feeble denial of her past misdeeds.

“What are you people saying?” Asked Chance, looking thoroughly confused and more than a little disturbed.

Everyone turned to him.

“What do you mean? Are…are you…are you saying that Chasity wasn’t happy here?” He asked, his eyes wide as he swiped his sweaty brow with a handkerchief.

I didn’t have the heart to tell him. Thankfully, Alex did.

“She was a maid essentially cooking and cleaning to work off debts. Gambling and drug debts that my parents said they paid off,” said Alex sadly.

“We did pay them off!” Bellowed Dad, his wolf at the forefront. “A quarter of a million dollars worth!”

“I could have paid that!” Yelled Chance, his wolf coming out too.

His eyes turned black and the angles of his face sharpened. He was close to shifting.

Dad stiffened uncomfortably.

“Your casino is..” Began Dad.

“I know it ain’t fancy but it makes money. I have my zombies. They do nothing but gamble. I could’ve paid that,” said Chance wryly.

Chance was almost breathless from the effort of holding back his wolf. I was furious with Mom and Dad but I readied myself in case I needed to jump bet**en Mom and Chance. I knew Dad could fend for himself but I couldn’t let my Mom fight a male wolf. She was still my Mom. That was the worst part of all of this. My own mother had hurt my mate.

“Then why didn’t Chalice go to you?” Shrieked Mom indignantly.

“BECAUSE SHE HATED ME!” Roared Chance, making Mom jump.

Chance sank down onto the couch and gave way to sobbing. My heart went out to him. He had lost his only daughter and now his granddaughter was missing after nine years of them being kept apart. I patted his shoulder.

“Um…uh… don’t cry Grandpa,” I murmured.

I wanted him to feel like a part of this family. We were a lot more dysfunctional than I had ever realised growing up but we were still a family. We had to get through this together. If Mom wanted to redeem herself, she needed to put her all into helping us find Goddess.

“We’ll get Chasity back! I promise. She’s everything to me. She’s my whole life!” I declared, getting choked up.

My l*p quivered.

“Then we’ll make sure she’s happy every single day and we’ll dust off those gifts and letters and she’ll be so excited to read them,” I said, smiling though there were tears in my eyes.

I had to hold onto to that future image, the one of Chasity happily reunited with us and receiving all the love she deserved.

Mom smiled at me, clearly grateful for my input. Chance slowly calmed down. We all did. Chance was taking deep slow breaths. He seemed pleasantly surprised at me calling him Grandpa.

“I can see Chasity whenever I want?” Clarified Chance, his eyes hopeful.

“Yes, Grandpa,” I said gently.

“And she can stay with me for a bit?” Added Chance.

I was not too sure about that one. Once I got my Goddess back, I wanted to be joined at the hip every single moment for the rest of forever. I didn’t care how enmeshed that was. I was never letting her out of my sight again.

Felix

I had been lost in my own tortured thoughts until I heard Chance ask if Chasity could come stay with him in future. I was going to get Chasity back and then I was going to keep her by my side forever. I wanted to make that clear. I straightened in my chair.

“You can stay here for a bit to spend some time together if Chasity likes that idea but my wife doesn’t do sleepovers,” I said in a no-nonsense tone.

Chance looked a bit peeved but he nodded wordlessly.

“So what was it about Chance that made him an unsuitable guardian for Chasity?” Asked Alex.

He had been quiet for a while now but he was livid. I could tell. I knew my brother well enough to know when he was boiling up with rage on the inside but seemingly cool, calm and collected on the outside.

I wouldn’t put all the blame on Mom. She was the greatest offender here but Dad could have stopped her. He was complicit. We were complicit too. We should have put a stop to the maid-work from the moment we had turned eighteen, three years before becoming Alphas.

Mom was silent. Was she refusing to answer the question. Chance spoke up before I could repeat it on Alex’s behalf.

“She thinks I killed my own daughter and her mate, Ronnie’s stepbrother,” muttered Chance.

That was a heavy accusation.

“Prove that you didn’t!” Hissed Mom.

Dad folded his arms, his jaw set.

“Prove that YOU didn’t!” Retorted Chance.

Huh?! My heart almost stopped. That had never occurred to me. My greatest fear had been that my own parents could have arranged Chasity’s kidnapping. However, I couldn’t bear to think they could have put some kind of hit out on Chasity’s parents. It wasn’t logical. They always acted as though she had been foisted upon them. Why would they orphan her only to find her a burdensome orphan?

Mom and Dad sighed. Calix closed his eyes as he leant back on the couch. This was probably the hardest for him. He was so close to Mom. He was missing Chasity and his old relationship with Mom. In one day, the way he viewed her had changed. I could feel his conflicting emotions though our bond as triplets.

It’ll be okay, I said to him privately.

I felt him nod over mind-link.

It’ll be okay, I said again, including Alex and trying to convince myself as well.
