Her Triplet Alphas by Joanna J novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Domino

Third Person

Two of the Alpha Triplets stood in front of the quaint little snow–topped cottage. The wind whipped their coat tails and their hair back and forth. They had not told Chasity they were going to do some investigating today but that was not a secret. They just “forgot” to mention it. They walked up the three steps to the porch. The plaque on the wall outside read: My home is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy. Alex smiled. Felix frowned. The middle–child alpha banged on the door until the eldest grabbed his wrist and pointed to the doorbell.

“I hadn‘t seen it,“lied Felix.

“No intimidation! Charming inquisitive alphas!” Repeated Alex. He had said the same thing in the car that they should charm the woman not interrogate her.

A blue eye peaked out at them through the ajar door. It actually was orb–like.

“Are you Didi Torte?” Said Felix like he was a police officer.

She opened the door. “Alphas?” She said. The triplets smiled.

Chasity‘s POV

It was the first day back after winter break. The triplets had acted strangely this morning. Felix and Alex had left early to “run errands” and Calix had dropped me to school a bit early but I didn‘t mind. I read until it was time to class. I spotted Ashton staring at me while I read in the library. He had stayed clear of me ever since he realised I was fated to the triplets. No one had picked on me even in the slightest. I spoke

too soon.

It was almost time for class so I got up. Before I could gather up my books, Parker Ford, the biggest, meanest football player in the school knocked my books off the desk and onto the floor. I assumed it was by accident. I had not been bullied in so long. I chuckled at him as though it were all good and went to pick them up but he kicked them across the room. I stiffened.

“What are you doing?” I asked, confused.

“What am I doing?” Parker mocked me, towering over me.

His best friend Bryan was there. Bryan was about a foot shorter than six–foot–three Parker. Bryan came from an extremely rich family and always wore designer blazers to school with his black hair gelled back neatly. Parker was in a overalls a sweater and combat boots. His tawny hair was tousled. He narrowed his brown eyes at me. Bryan regarded me with apologetic green eyes. Ashton looked like he wanted to help but was afraid. I saw him dash off as if going to get someone.

“Parker, stop!” Muttered Bryan.

“Why?” Scoffed Parker. “It‘s just Charity Case! Here, look!”

Parker took out a hundred dollar bill and tried to stuff it in my mouth. I squealed. He gripped me by the nape of my neck. I shut my mouth tightly as he smushed the bill in my face. A few on–lookers gasped. I

kicked him in the crotch. He yelled and relinquished me so that I fell on the ground on my palms and

knees.

“That‘s enough, Parker!” Hissed Bryan. “You don‘t know…”

“Calm down, Bryan!!!! Don‘t get your panties all in a bunch! I won‘t hurt our little Charity Case!”

Snarled Parker.

He usually bullied me but he had been away from school for a few months due to a football injury to my absolute relief and happiness. I had almost forgotten he existed. I felt helpless again. Parker snatched me up pulling on the hood of my coat. I was at a lost for words.

Is this guy crazy?! Said my wolf. You‘re the triplet alphas‘ mate! Chasity tell him! He probably doesn‘t

even know yet!

“You wanna earn the money don‘t you?” Said Parker with a disgusting smile. “How about a blowjob then since you obviously like being on your knees!”

The small group of on–lookers gasped. “f**k YOU!” I screeched. “How dare you talk to me like that?!”

Parker‘s face got red with anger. I slapped him, reddening it further. He smacked me back. He had never hit me before. I squealed at the impact but didn‘t fall because he was gripping my hood with his other hand still.

“HEY!”

Parker looked up. It was Arnold Grey, another football playing senior. I did not know much about sports but he was the star player so girls always swooned over him. He was just as tall as Parker but with olive skin, dark eyes and dark hair. He had dimples like the triplets. He was flanked by two other big football players and they all looked pissed. They had never noticed me before but I knew their faces. They were all very popular at school. Ashton was standing near the doorway. Had he brought these other

football players here? Ashton was on the team too.

“What‘s up, Arnold?” Said Parker, nodding.

“ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!” Yelled Arnold, making Parker flinch.

He punched Parker in the face and grabbed me from him. I stumbled but one of the other football players held me delicately to his side. Huh.

“Are you ok, Chasity?” The blonde football player said grasping my cheek and turning my face side to side so he could see the bruise. His name was Brett I think.

“s**t! That‘s a death sentence right there! You ok, little Luna?” Said the other brunette football player. This was Jerald. He had mocha-coloured skin and a chiselled face.

“I‘m ok,” I mumbled, shaken up, but feeling grateful. These three had never bullied me. They ignored me mostly. They probably did not know I existed before. Arnold had smiled at me once though and let me

cut in front of him in the cafeteria line. When I had gotten up there, I had realised I was short. i had only had money from a math contest I had one but it was running out. Arnold had paid me for and winked and put a finger to his lips when I had tried to say thank you.

Parker quickly recovered from the punch with a roar of anger. “How dare you disrespect the Luna like that? What a disgrace!” Yelled Arnold. Parker stiffened. “What the hell are you talking about?” He said, paling. “I tried to tell you, man,” muttered Bryan.

“Shut up, Bryan!” Snapped Parker.

“Chasity is the mate of Alex, Felix and Calix,” whispered Bryan. “Her birthday was the same day as

theirs. They became alphas and she came their mate.”

Parker stared at me in disbelief. His eyes trailed over me until they landed on my neck where the

three silvery marks were. Parker trembled. Arnold cracked his knuckles.

“I would punch you again for speaking suggestively to the Luna and hitting her but there‘s no need. I couldn’t possibly outdo whatever the triplets will have planned for you when they see their little mate‘s face and I‘ll make sure they know it was you along with your address,” threatened Arnold.

The crowd gasped. Some people snickered and “oohed.”

“Charity, Charity, we‘re good right! We were playing around!” Stammered Parker trying to playfully punch my arm but Brett snarled and pulled me closer to him and slightly behind him.

“Stay away!” Said Jerald, his tone deadly. The three football players walked me to the nurse‘s office. Ashton came with us. He had helped me.

“I‘m fine! Really, I‘m fine,” I insisted.

Brett lifted me onto the nurse‘s bunk and Jerald alerted the nurse. Ashton smiled at me and I smiled

back, relieved. I was shaken up. Parker‘s temper was the worst of any person I knew. He often beat guys up

but I had never seen him hit a girl before today.

The nurse gasped when she saw me. She made me ice my face and she called my guardian. I was praying the Luna did not answer the house line.

“He‘s coming to get you,” said the nurse sweetly, writing a pass for me to stay home today. “You didn‘t lose consciousness so that‘s a good sign and when I feel your face, there‘s no significant swelling or palpable fractures.”

She gave me some painkillers. I sighed but took them. I hoped the “he” that was coming to get me

was not the former Alpha. It was not. Thank goodness.

“Calix!” I squealed and launched myself into his arms. He squeezed me tightly then swept my curls back, looking at my bruised face. I had never seen Calix so angry. He looked murderous.

“Where is he?” Was all he said to the four footballer players. The nurse had left to see about something.

“He usually skips class around now to go smoke weed by the bleachers,” said Ashton.

Calix walked off. I scurried behind him.

“I‘d rather you stayed inside, Chasity!” Said Calix.

“No. Calix, it‘s ok you don‘t have to talk to him. It was a misunderstanding!” I said, feeling a bit

panicked.

In one swift fluid movement, Calix grabbed Parker by the scruff on his neck and threw him off the bleachers like he weighed nothing. All of the friends scampered away. Parker hit the snow a couple yards down the field. I saw blood soaking into the snow.

Please, don‘t let him be dead , I thought. I could not take that kind of guilt although Parker had always been awful to me.
