Filed to story: The Luna Mated to Triplet Alphas Novel
“What was a big celebrity doing hanging around?” Wondered Danny.
What celebrity crashes a high school party? It didn’t surprise me that Beta Keaton’s family knew Deidre. She had been Chalice’s best friend and Chalice was the sister-in-law to the Alpha and Luna. Thus the Beta could have easily met her when they were younger. Perhaps, all the way back at Winter Moon High.
“She said she was visiting an old friend,” said Tonya.
My brothers and I looked at each other. We knew instinctively we were all thinking along the same lines. Could she have been trying to visit Chalice? Was Chalice really dead? If Chalice was dead, was Deidre visiting Didi? She could have even been looking for Chasity. Alarm bells went off in my head. Chance had claimed the real Deidre was dead. Had the imposter returned to finish tying up loose ends? Was Chasity a loose end? I growled instinctively.
“Did she say who?” Asked Danny, his voice louder on the tape now as though he was leaning in.
“I am stopping it because that’s the end of their interview,” said Danny quickly with a slightly nervous look at me. “The girls shook their heads no. They didn’t know who Deidre was trying to meet.”
My brothers and I were quiet, all three of us lost in thought. My head was spinning.
“The interesting thing…is that Deidre was photographed at a Hollywood even that night,” revealed Danny.
Huh?
“So the girls were lying about running into her?” Asked Alex quickly.
Danny smiled slightly.
“Deidre was seen in LA that night but I also went through social media posts from the party attended by you three and the Luna and Deidre was in the background of one of them. Or at least someone who looked exactly like Deidre!” Said Danny.
We were all puzzled. Well, my brothers and I were puzzled. Chance was nodding as though he had reached an epiphany.

The lead had led to even more questions but at least we were getting somewhere. We had a potential suspect.
“Is this the only incriminating information you found during your interviews thus far?” I asked.
“Regarding Deidre?” Asked Danny.
“No, everyone. Not just Deidre being in two places at once and attending a high school party as weird as that is. What about all the other interviews? Like Roxie and Moxie? It was their party Deidre attended and our exes said they knew her!” I pointed out.
“Chalice and Chase knew her and Mom and Dad knew her too so of course Keaton would know her,” said Felix.
I felt like he was trying to defend Roxie and there was no space for that. Anyone could have something against Chasity. He was willing to accuse our own mother but hesitated to accuse Roxie.
“I asked Danny,” I snapped.
Felix glared at me.
“Let’s be nice to each other,” said Alex. “We only have each other.”
“Don’t talk like Chasity’s dead!” I snarled, my voice crackling a little.
Alex tried to put a hand on my shoulder but I shrugged it off and he simply sighed.
“I interviewed Moxie and Roxie. Moxie…nothing interesting there. But Roxie…” Said Danny, nodding.
Ha! I gave Felix an ‘I told you so’ look. He rolled his eyes.
“What did she do?” Asked Felix bluntly.
“Do you want to hear her whole tape?” Asked Danny.
“Just the pertinent parts,” I said.
“Get to the point,” grumbled Felix.
“Why are you protective of Roxie but not Mom?” I snapped at Felix.
“Are you kidding me?” Snarled Felix. “I am suspicious of everyone including Roxie. I just know how obsessed a person feels regarding their own mate. Roxie has her own mate.” Said Felix with a dismissive wave of his hand. “And I’m not defending her! I let her be interviewed, didn’t I? And when she and Keaton complained, I told them to pipe down, didn’t I?”
I sighed. Fair enough. I didn’t reply though. I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction.
“Danny, play the tape,” I ordered.
Danny instantly produced Roxie’s tape and found the relevant segment. He played it for us.
“I have a mate!” Screeched Roxie indignantly, sounding like a broken record, spilling the same rhetoric Felix had just spewed.
I snorted with laughter. Felix rolled his eyes at me again.
“Ok, Ms Roxie, I know, just answer the question, please,” said Danny.
“I would never be jealous of Chasity. Felix and I were happy for each other when we found our mates,” Roxie said stiffly, her voice shriller than normal.
She was agitated. I could tell. He had gotten under her skin. He had touched a raw nerve.
“The question was did you tell Chasity to go to the landing bathroom knowing full well that Sandra, Tonya and Avery were waiting there to confront her?” Asked Danny, sounding firm but exasperated.
Whoa! That was the question she had been dodging. Alex inhaled sharply. I stiffened. I saw Felix tense beside me.
“Well…yeah,” she admitted.
BITCH! Alex and I both growled. Felix shot up from his seat.
“Felix!” Said Alex sternly but Felix’s eyes were already coal black.
Both Felix and his wolf were pissed. He picked up an empty chair and flung it straight through the window, shattering the glass. I ran to the jagged hole and peered down into the snow. The chair was actually fine. We really had some great sturdy furniture. The window was another story. I returned to my seat and so did Felix. Danny looked comically flabbergasted, his mouth hanging open and his eyes wide.
“I just needed to vent,” said Felix in a deadpan voice.
“Venting means talking through your feelings not demolishing the house,” grumbled Alex.
Alex had paused the tape during Felix’s outburst since Danny had been forbidden from pausing it. Danny’s fi**ger trembled a little as he p**ssed play again.
“And why would you do a thing like that, Roxie?” Asked Danny indignantly.
Yeah, Roxie, why are you such a hateful bitch? I grumbled to myself. My poor Chasity. Chasity had trusted Roxie. She had been having a girl chat with her and the whole time Roxie had been plotting against her behind her back. My Goddess deserved so much better.
“Because I…I don’t know. Chasity was never popular before and now she’s like this…superstar or something. It was annoying. I just thought it’d be funny if the girls ruffled her feathers. They were not gonna hurt her. No violence. Just bitchy insults. And well she vomited on them so she got them pretty good,” said Roxie, snickering like the immature dope she was.
I couldn’t believe how feeble her excuse for setting up Chasity was. Her reasoning was because Chasity’s overnight popularity threatened her. She didn’t even go to that school anymore. She had graduated from Winter Moon High with us three years ago. Danny pursed his l*ps in disapproval as he listened to his own interview. He was clearly not feeling Roxie and her jealous pettiness.
“Ok, thank you, Ms Roxie, send the next person in,” said Danny curtly.
This tape went right into another interview. I could hear the cl**king of Roxie’s heels as she left the room and the cl**k-clack of another pair of heels as the new interviewee entered.
“How would you describe Chasity?” Asked Danny.
