Her Triplet Alphas by Joanna J novel Chapter 89

Chapter 28: Chasity’s Bath Tub Alex

I was anxious to get some food in Chasity. Her eating habits were quite poor because of her heavy workload in the past. She was accustomed to skipping meals so she did not get hungry at regular intervals or at least she did not notice her own hunger until she was ravenous. Then, she would eat a lot and feel a bit uncomfortably stuffed. It was a bad pattern and I was determined to break it by supervising her eating of three meals a day on weekends and two on weekdays cause I could not show up to lunch in Winter Moon High cafeteria like a lunatic and spy on my mate so I couldn’t count on the weekdays being three.

“Who do you eat lunch with at school?” I asked curiously as we sat at a booth in a restaurant in the mall.

Chasity was between Felix and me while Calix was sitting opposite us. I did not want to ask if she ate lunch so I tried asking an indirect question. Chasity perked up immediately. She was actually really enjoying the lasagna in front of her.

“I eat with Mina and Tina,” she said, grinning

“Sounds like a Pop group from the eighties, said Felix. “They’re the most popular girls in school,” said Chasity with some nascent pride. My face fell. I hoped they were not using her because of us, her mates, being the Alphas “I never heard you talk about them before. Is this a recent friendship?” I asked hesitantly.

“Um,” said Chasity, frowning at her marinara. “Yes and no. I have a locker near theirs so I always see them and the day before our birthday, I randomly had a nice conversation with them and then I helped them with some math and they helped me with my makeup and hair and outfit for my birthday. They got me birthday presents!” Said Chasity smiling.

“I’m happy for you, Chasity,” said Calix with a wink.

I was relieved to hear that the girls had started talking to her before we were fated even if it was literally the day before.

“Those were the first presents I had gotten in years,” said Chasity, reaching for her glass of coke. “What about our gifts?” Asked Felix, pouting. “That happened after. Mina and Tina beat you to it,” she said pointedly. “They sound dumb,” said Felix. I kicked him under the table. **They’re just not good at math,” said Chasity honestly. “But they’re great at other things!” “Like hair and makeup?” Said Felix, raising his eyebrows. Chasity glowered. “Never mind,” she said, getting upset. “I get it,” yelled Felix, looking at me. “What?” I asked, alarmed.

“No, i kicked you under the table this time,” admitted Calix. We all burst into laughter, even Chasity. “Look, Baby, I don’t mean to be harsh. I just want you to be careful. I don’t want you to be…taken advantage of. Some people might suddenly want to hang all over you. Don’t trust fully them if they only started being nice to you when you became fated to us,” explained Felix gently.

“If you were listening properly you would have heard me say we started talking the day before my birthday!” Snapped Chasity. “And you three are the ones who only started being nice to me when I became fated to you!”

Felix blinked. “Well, excuse me,” said Felix gruffly.

“Felix, don’t start,” I warned him. “That’s not completely inaccurate. I understand your point, Chasity. Noted.”

Calix put his head in his hands. He was clearly stressed. Chasity’s face fell looking at him. “If I’m so difficult to be with, why are we even bothering,” said Chasity softly. “What would you have me do, Chasity?” Said Felix, raising his voice. “Felix,” I said pointedly. “NO!” He yelled, looking at me. I turned away and took a deep breath to calm my angry wolf. Felix turned back to Chasity. “What do you want from me?” He shouted at Chasity. She jumped. “Chasity.” said Felix. She looked she was about to cry. Felix sighed.

“Chasity, I love you. I can’t just pretend I don’t. If you don’t want to be with us…” said Felix, pausing

I could hear his heart racing. I really did not think any of us would ever be the same if Chasity officially rejected us.

“I don’t know what to tell you anymore,” said Felix. “All I know is that I really am sorry for how things turned out. You have every right to hate me but I thought we were going to try.”

“I am trying,” said Chasity softly. She was staring at her lasagna and clutching her fork. Felix brushed the hair out of her face. “I’m trying too,” he said gently. “I know,” she whispered. “Is it the trip?” Asked Calix, finally raising his head and intervening. Chasity shrugged. “Do you not want to go? Do you not want to be alone with us? Is that it?” Asked Calix. Chasity was actually crying now, tears slowly rolling down her cheeks. “I’m scared, ok,” she admitted.

Felix pulled her to him and held her tightly. She sobbed into his chest. I rubbed her back, trying to soothe her. Calix was reaching across the table, stroking her hair.

“I’m really sorry for yelling,” I heard Felix murmur into her ear. “That was out of line and disrespectful, Baby. I’m sorry,” he whispered, kissing her cheek. She sniffled. She settled down. “It’s not that,” she said. “I was scared from before. I… haven’t been in the water since…” She stopped She did not have to say anything else. We knew exactly what she meant. **You’ve been in the bath tub,” said Felix. “Felix,” grumbled Calix. “What? That bath tub is huge and you love it, don’t you?” Asked Felix.

25 Ports

“Yeah,” said Chasity, shrugging. “The sea is a big bath tub,” reasoned Felix. “Maybe,” I said. If it calmed her down, sure the sea was a big bath tub.

“What about swimming lessens at school? Isn’t that a mandatory part of the Winter Moon High curriculum? It’s part of P.E. for our pack,” I recalled.

“The Alpha wrote a note after I freaked out at my first swimming lesson and the school called your parents,” she whispered.

I was not surprised. That was the one incident they felt guilty over. Us dipping Chasity in the ice fishing hole when we were younger. We were such little monsters.

“Ok, back to the bath tub,” said Felix. “Can you think of the sea as a big one?” “I guess,” she said, “I’ll try.” “Good, Luna, thanks for trying with us,” I murmured, kissing her all over her face. She giggled.

“I haven’t been in the water with you three around,” she added. That was fair enough. Maybe our presence added to her fear. “What if we take a bath with you?” Asked Felix. “What?” Giggled Chasity. Calix shrugged, “Weird but worth a try.”

“The tub is huge. You’re comfortable with it. Get comfortable with the three of us and the tub together. Let’s not fik up our vacay. You deserve to have a nice time. No anxiety. What if we practice being in the water together until we leave for the trip so the vacay won’t be the first time you’re around us and a body of water since…the incident,” suggested Felix.

“You never use the indoor pool at home,” I added. “Yes!” Exclaimed Calix, getting excited. Chasity looked nervous. “We’ll start off with the tub,” said Felix, “Once we get comfortable with the tub, you’ll graduate to the pool,” said Calix. “And the next step will be the sea on our vacay,” I concluded. “Baby steps,” we three said in unison. This could work. “That could work,” my Luna mumbled, agreeing. YES! I was so happy and relieved. “You’re gonna be taking a lot of baths,” said Felix suggestively, whilst playing with Chasity’s hair. Chasity smiled slyly.

“And then we’re gonna get you all dirty again so we can take yet another bath,” snarled Felix playfully

Chasity swatted his chest. He grabbed her hand and kissed it.

*Tonight, you’ll wear one of the new swimsuits and take a bath with us,” I said, trying hard not to Yound as excited as I felt I was giddy at the thought. I was painfully hard just from the suggestion. Felix was smiling to himself and so was Calix. I hid my smile Chasity did not need to know we were all horndogs, pun intended. She was probably apprehensive enough about our bath.

Felbu

We sat in a companionable silence during the drive home. I had been such a complete tool to Chasity.

Chasity’s Bath L I hated fighting with her. It was different with her. My past girlfriends could hold their own in an argument so I never used to feel guilty for arguing with them. Chasity had been through a lot and she had every reason to be afraid of us. I had probably intimidated her or scared her more. I was just glad she agreed to the bath. I kept my eyes on the road ahead though my mind was on Chasity. She was in the backseat lying down with her head on Alex’s lap. Calix was in the passenger seat.

“Is she asleep?” I asked Alex. “Yeah,” he said. I sighed. “Don’t beat yourself up too much,” said Alex softly. I raised my eyebrows, shocked to hear him say that. “I was out of line,” I admitted. “None of us are perfect,” said Alex. “Yeah,” said Calix kindly, patting my shoulder. “You two come pretty closel guess,” I said, immediately regretting the sappiness. “Aww, triplet hug,” said Calix as we pulled into the driveway.

groaned. My brothers got out of the car and Calix dragged me out of the car. Alex was holding a sleeping Chasity bridal style. We hugged gently to avoid awaking our little Sleeping Beauty.
