Her Triplet Alphas by Joanna J novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Ferocious Felix

The triplets and I went back to our room. We all sat on the bed. Alex looked determined. Calix had puppy–dog eyes, Felix looked grumpy, clearly annoyed that he had been dragged into this.

“I‘m angry too, you know,” said Felix, to the room in general. He turned to his brothers, “Since when do we keep secrets from each other.”

Alex and Calix stared at him and then at each other. “I‘m sorry, Felix,” said Alex, in a diplomatic fashion, “Sorry, Felix,” mumbled Calix.

Felix was still seething.

“We thought you‘d blab to Chasity!” Calix said. “Yeah, except you blabbed to Chasity,” Alex said, “I deserve to know,” I said softly.

“Of course, you do,” Alex said just as softly. He pulled me onto his lap. I let him draw me to him this time. “I wasn‘t lying when I said I‘ve always thought you were beautiful, I wanted a chance with you. I didn‘t want to complicate an already horrible situation. That was selfish of me and I‘m sorry, Felix, almost forgot I was keeping it from you and Chasity. I kinda pushed it aside. I just wanted to be happy.”

My wolf was completely satisfied with that apology, but she would be satisfied with any apology. She was team triplets all the way.

“It‘s ok, bro,” grumbled Felix. He smiled half–heartedly. “Chasity,” whispered Calix, pouting, with his big blue eyes on me, “do you hated me?”

“No! Calix, I love you. And I love Alex. And Felix didn‘t do anything this time but I love Felix. I love all of you,” I said, looking at each of their faces.

They all lit up.

“That‘s why it hurts so much,” I said, closing my eyes for a bit.

I could feel their smiles falter. I looked at them. “I want to know where my parents are,” I said resolutely. “I don‘t know,” said Alex, looking me straight in the eyes. I could tell he was being honest.

“We really don‘t,” added Calix. Felix shrugged.

“Do your parents know?” I asked. “They might,” Alex said. Calix nodded.

“So your Mom really cared about my Dad even thought he was just her stepbrother?” I asked, raising

my eyebrows incredulously.

“Yeah, she was devastated when he drove away and left you,” said Calix. “She had thought he was coming back into her life after being estranged because of her dislike for your Mom only for him to leave again, skip town and leave you behind on her porch.”

I winced. I sighed.

“Do you think your Mom hates me?” I asked. “She doesn’t,” said Calix. “She‘s afraid you‘ll hurt us.”

I wanted to roll my eyes. They had hurt me.

“She felt as though your Dad, her little stepbrother, was taken away from her and ruined by your Mom,” explained Alex, his tone gentle and apologetic. “She was upset when she realised we belonged to you like your Dad had belonged to your Mom. She felt she had let trouble in her house again.”

The Luna was not just a snob who was indifferent to her servant. She had cold calculated reasons behind her dislike of me. Reasons she had hid from me my entire life. That made her unforgivable in my

eyes.

“What does the Luna think my father would think of how I was treated by her and you all growing up?

I asked.

They all squirmed guiltily, Felix included this time. “Any good father would be outraged but your father isn‘t exactly a good father, Baby,” said Felix. “What?” I asked, narrowing my eyes. “Baby, he left you,” Felix said softly.

“He was protecting me from something!” I insisted, fighting back the tears and springing up off of the bed to storm away.

“ENOUGH!” Bellowed Felix so powerfully I almost fell over.

Alex stiffened. Calix regarded him with wide shocked eyes.

“You‘re going to be the Luna of our pack and you have to grow up, Baby!” Demanded Felix. “Your father and mother were irresponsible. They had substance abuse problems. None of this would have befallen you or them if they had made different choices. If you‘re gonna hold us accountable, you‘re gonna hold them accountable too. Your parents were not a fairytale, Baby!”

His yell had made me sit back down. The tears streamed slowly down my face. Alex was rubbling my back gently. Calix squeezed my hand.

“I can always count on Felix to make sure I never stay the least favourite for long,” Calix said brightly, trying to lighten the mood.

“You‘re not leaving with them, once we find them,” Felix said. I relaxed a little, realisingl was grown up now. I couldn‘t exactly just redo my childhood. I could get to know my parents as an adult if I could find

Felix sighed. “Well, by find them, I mean find out the story, what happened? Even…who did it if they‘re...you know. And it‘s no big deal to kill the people responsible.”
