Her Triplet Alphas by Joanna J novel Chapter 73

Chapter 12: Chasity’s New Room

Calix “Brunch is ready!” Called Mom. My brothers and I had been in Felix’s room with Chasity. We hurried downstairs. “This should be good,” snickered Felix.

Mom never cooked. Ever. We always had a professional chef or a maid who was also a cook or Chasity who had been taught how to cook by the former cook.

“I’m sure she did her best,” I said although I could smell the burnt toast from the staircase. “It serves them right! Why should Chasity do everything?” Grumbled Alex. “Where is Chasity?” I asked, realising she wasn’t with us. “She was in my room with us,” said Felix. “Maybe she’s using the bathroom,” said Alex. Felix sighed. “That’s not it,” he growled.

He stomped back up the stairs. Alex and I exchanged a glance and then we ran after Felix. We burst into the room. Chasity was no longer in Felix’s room. He stomped out of his room and went to her door. He banged on it.

“Felix,” hissed Alex indignantly. Felix was boiling with rage and I didn’t get why. Chasity peeked out of her tiny room. “Yeah?” She said softly. “Didn’t you hear Mom calling? It’s brunch time. What are you doing up here?” He demanded. “I never eat with you guys. You know that,” she said, seeming somewhat annoyed. “We’re mates now,” said Felix. “Yeah but…”began Chasity. “We slept in the same bed last night and you won’t eat with us,” said Felix incredulously. DO NOT be hard on her! I snapped at Felix over mind-link. I am not angry WITH her. I’m angry FOR her and WITH Mom and Dad, he snapped back. Oh.

“Come downstairs. You haven’t eaten anything for the day yet and it’s almost noon,” said Felix. “I’m used to it,” she said softly, keeping the door ajar. He flung open the door, grabbed Chasity’s hand and marched her down the stairs. “You’re to eat with us from now on,” he said. “Your parents don’t allow that,” she said, yanking her arm away. “I am the alpha now!” Insisted Felix. “My mate eats with my family!” “Why are you mad at me?” Asked Chasity, seeming close to tears. Felix sighed.

“I’m not mad at you,” he grumbled, pulling her flush against him. He wrapped her up in a bear hug.

She sniffled a little but calmed down. She inhaled his scent deeply. I hugged her from behind sandwiching her between Felix and me. She relaxed in our arms. Alex hugged her from the side so she was surrounded. She seemed aroused now that all three of us were touching her. Alex kissed the top of her head. Alex grasped her chin to make her look at him. She seemed a bit apprehensive still but she held his gaze.

“From now on, in every situation, I want you to say to yourself ‘I am the Winter Moon Pack Luna’ before you make a decision,” instructed Alex.

“Let’s hear it,” said Felix sternly. “I am the Winter Moon Pack Luna,” said Chasity softly. “It’s brunch time in the pack house. What do you say?” Demanded Felix. “I am the Winter Moon Pack Luna?” Said Chasity as though it were a question. “So where should the Luna eat?” Asked Felix. “With her Alphas,” said Chasity.

“I totally agree with this mantra,” I said. “But you can’t blame Chasity for feeling uncomfortable eating with us. She was made to feel uncomfortable with us,” I said, annoyed.

I wasn’t going to let Alex and Felix run the show anymore. Most of Chasity’s behaviour were adaptations to things our parents had instilled in her.

“I’ll have a chat with Mom and Dad,” said Alex.

We led Chasity to the breakfast table. Felix pulled out her chair and she sat down. Mom and Dad were already sitting. The table was only set for five.

“Why is this table only set for five?” Snapped Felix.

He was on edge today. I could tell he was seething. Mom looked up slowly. She spotted Chasity seated at the table. Chasity didn’t meet her gaze.

“Oh silly me,” chuckled Mom.

She had just forgotten. It was an adjustment for everyone. I smiled at her. I knew she wouldn’t forget next time.

Felix

Mom pretended she had simply forgotten to set a place for Chasity. I knew it was a deliberate show of dominance on her part. She knew Chasity was still too timid to challenge her. That was fine. I would be doing all the challenging on Chasity’s behalf until she was more sure of herself and of her place here.

“Grab another chair, will you, Dad?” I said offhandedly as I sat next to Chasity.

I wanted to see his reaction. He sniffed, clearly annoyed, but got up and added a sixth chair. Alex sat next to Chasity and Calix sat between Alex and Mom.

Mom uncovered the platters on the table: waffles, toast, bacon, sausages and eggs. All of it slightly burnt. Chasity had a faint smile on her face like she wanted to laugh at the burnt brunch.

What are you smirking at, Beautiful? I asked Chasity over private mind-link. She smiled a little more. I nudged her. What?! She hissed. What’s so funny? I insisted. Nothing! She said. “What do you want to eat?” Said Alex, grabbing Chasity’s plate, intent on fixing it for her. Thad wanted to do that! I said to him. I always put aside Chasity’s breakfast! Said Alex. No you don’t! I said.

Yes! I do! And sometimes you f*****g steal it, knowing she hardly gets opportunities to relax and eat! He practically roared over mind-link.

I winced. His face softened. I know…you’ll be different now, added Alex. “Waffles,” mumbled Chasity so quietly Alex leant towards her to hear. “How many?” He asked. “Um…one,” said Chasity in hushed tones. “Then that would be waffle, not waffles,” I joked. Chasity just frowned, staring down at her lap.

“How about I just put a bit of everything and you eat until you’re full,”suggested Alex, putting a stack of three waffles, two slices of toast, some sausages and bacon and eggs on the plate. He brought the syrup

closer to her as well as the butter. She smiled slightly as she took the syrup and began to pour it onto the waffles.

“Has Chasity picked out her new room?” Asked Dad. “She will after she eats,” said Alex.

Chasity’s mouth was full of waffle. She just looked back and forth between Dad and Dad part two also known as Alex. Mom gave Chasity a grim smile.

“We’ll need to find a cook and a housekeeper again on short notice,” said Mom examining her manicure. “I’m not into this domestic stuff,” she chuckled as though she were making an inside joke with Chasity.

“Neither am 1,” said Chasity with a wry smile. Calix snickered but quickly stopped when Mom shot him a warning look.

Tate as much of the burnt food as I could before I gave up and just watched Chasity. Everything she did fascinated me. She was pouring her syrup again trying to fill every single syrup trap in her last waffle before she took a bite. She caught me staring at her and handed over the syrup assuming that was what I wanted. I waved the syrup away.

“Fate is so funny, isn’t it?” Said Mom, laughing to herself as though she were about to elaborate. Ugh. “Mom,” I said quietly, giving her a look that just said “don’t.” She sighed.

I knew she wanted to lament over us being fated to Chasity. Truth be told, I didn’t get what was wrong with Chasity in Mom’s eyes. Ok so her parents had been less than stellar. That had very little to do with Chasity. She hadn’t been around her parents in nine years. She was her own little person. She caught me staring at her again and frowned. I looked away.
