Chapter 9: Date Night
After a late burnt brunch made by the former Alpha and his Luna, I went around the house with Alex to choose my new room I had cleaned all of these quest rooms and their adjacent bathrooms before I knew exactly which room I wanted but not because of the bedroom itself it had a bathroom with a huge bathtub attached. I had always wanted to soak in that tub, Sometimes I would he in it and take a nap in the midst of cleaning. I was too afraid to try to use it in case someone realised and I got in trouble. The room was on the ground floor though and Alex was disappointed
“I want you on our floor,” he said, sighing “I want to bathe in that bathtub,” I admitted. Alex laughed. He grumbled to himself.
“Sure, I guess it‘s temporary. Eventually all four of us will sleep in the same room anyway. We can each keep our separate rooms to work in,” Alex mused to himself,
Alex seemed so certain that I would stay and become their Luna. I felt guilty. Maybe I had not been clear about how conflicted I was.
Felix and Calix were off somewhere.
“Our date is at seven.” Alex informed me with a small smile as he moved stuff to my new
he carrying anything and got grumpy every time I tried so I was lying on my new bed while he arranged my stuff according to my instructions. This was a departure from the norm: me relaxing, the eldest Alpha triplet working.
“You need to have respect for your Alphas, Charity,” Alex said, using my awful nickname.
The memory hit me out of nowhere. I sat up so quickly, panting a little. Alex dropped what he was doing and rushed to me.
“Chasity, what‘s wrong?” He said, holding my shoulders and scrutinising me.
“Just a memory,” I mumbled without thinking. Alex winced. I feel his guilt as if it were my own. I felt his regret and shame too. I had to get away from him to breathe a little bit. I had nothing to do now that my day was not filled with the upkeep of the huge pack house.
“I‘m going for a walk,” I said.
He looked upset but he did not try to stop me. I ran out the front door. The wind tossed my curls about, tangling them. It was freezing. The snow was crunchy and deep. It was dark already despite being early in the afternoon. There were not any other houses for miles. It was about a mile walk to the nearest bus stop but no buses worked here on Sundays. I sighed. I wished I had a car but I did not even have my license. I looked at the five cars parked in the driveway, one SUV for each triplet, one for the former alpha and one for his luna. I knew the triplets would get me a car and teach me to drive if I asked but we had not discussed finances properly yet. What about all the money my parents owed their parents? I was no longer working off my debt and the triplets had bought me so many expensive things for my birthday, it seemed like I was incurring more debt. I knew those were gifts but what if I decided to leave in seven months. Would they

I was so lost in my thoughts I walked right into Felix. He caught me. He was bundled up in his coat and boots. He was furious. I assumed it was towards me. He scooped me up and ran inside, slamming the door. Calix appeared.
“What the f**k was she doing out there like that, Alex?” Bellowed Felix, stomping back into my new room with me in his arms to confront Alex.
Felix threw me on the bed. I bounced a little. I yelped not expecting that “Felix, what the f**k?” Yelled Alex, referring to how he had tossed me.
“Sorry, Baby,” said Felix, quickly running his hands all over me looking for bruises. We both knew there were none. My inner wolf was purring. Felix was her favourite because he was the most in touch with his lupine side. Felix was definitely not my favourite. I scampered away from him, coming to my senses.
“What was she doing out there, by herself, no coat, no boots, in the snow?” Snapped Felix, glaring at Alex
Alex folded his arms. “I thought you were watching her,” Felix added.
I was not a child. I had been taking care of the family a few days ago. I had more responsibilities than them before they became Alphas.
“She wanted to go for a walk,” Alex said simply. “And you let her go like that?” Felix snarled. Alex sighed. “Yeah,” he said softly.
“She was thinking about some...difficult memories and she was a little panicked. I could tell she needed to be away from me, from all of us for a little while,” Alex added.
I was surprised he had understood me so well. Calix sat on the bed and pulled me to him while his elder brothers talked. He breathed in my scent. He groaned. He started kissing my neck,
licking and biting the skin without breaking it. I was trembling but I was not scared of him. He focused on a spot. I knew he was giving me a hickey on purpose. Tomorrow I had school where there were a lot of unmated males. Females who had found their mates but were not marked properly yet usually had hickeys. It was an unspoken thing, a “don‘t touch” sign. I had never seen hickeys on any of the triplets’ ex–girlfriends. Alex and Felix stopped their argument noticing what Calix was doing.
The other two Alphas climbed the bed, their eyes lustful and hungry. I shivered. Calix handed me to Alex who started peppering my neck with kisses until he found a spot he liked. He sucked on it, relishing the way my skin tasted. Calix was taking my shoes and socks off. The youngest Alpha started massaging my feet, soothing me. He could tell I was anxious. Alex gently gave me to Felix who immediately latched onto my neck. Felix‘s hands roamed my body. I tried not to get excited but my inner wolf was going crazy and Felix could tell. He released me though, panting. I quickly jumped off the bed, hyperaware that they were looking at the three fresh hickeys on my neck with great satisfaction. They got up to leave.
“Don‘t forget date night,” Calix reminded me cheerfully on the way out.
I realised I had been holding my breath and exhaled as the door closed. I was excited to soak

Chapter 9 Date Night in the huge tub. I sat in the water, thinking. I had always wanted to bathe in this luxurious tub as though the elegance of it would solve all my problems Now I had the tub and a whole host of other problems. Money would no longer be an issue for me as long as I remained in the Triplets‘ good graces. I knew I could hold them at bay for a while but I had a feeling they planned to mark and mate me before my last seven months of high school were up as collateral so I would not be able to easily leave. Once properly marked, they would be connected to me and able to find my location through the connection. It was a protective thing between mates. Also, with three Alphas the chances of me conceiving were astronomical and I knew myself well enough to know I could not bear to leave them if I was pregnant for one of them. I had been robbed of my parents and no child deserved that. I sighed. My head hurt
After my long bath, I sat on my new bed in a robe and tentatively put on the television I had not watched television in years outside of random movies every now and then during school. I felt like I should ask someone’s permission to watch it. In the past, I had not been allowed to ” increase the electricity bill” because my parents owed the former alpha and his luna so much money. I found a show about a teenage witch. I was getting really engrossed in it when I noticed it was already six o’clock. I wore a baby blue sweater and matching mini pleated skirt over black stockings. The outfit was from my Mina and Tina makeover. I put on the baby blue winter coat and boots from the Triplets. I met them downstairs. They all looked so handsome. My heart raced and my skin flushed. Felix insisted on carrying me to the car, saying the snow was deep. ! rolled my eyes, I had shovelled that snow myself before
Felix was in the backseat with me. Alex was driving us in his car. Calix was in the passenger seat. He kept looking back at me to check on me as well as shooting warning looks at Felix. Felix smirked at his younger brother and raised his hands to show they were not all over me but they resumed roaming my body as soon as Calix turned frontwards again. I honestly did not mind. It was an amusing game.
The Triplets took me to a restaurant that the family frequented apparently. I had never been there before. The staff all seemed to know the brothers well and regarded me with curiosity. They were the pack’s Alphas so I should get used to all the attention. The restaurant was called Winter Moon Snack after our Winter Moon Pack. I thought it was clever but I also did not get out much. ! sat in a booth between Calix and Felix and Alex begrudgingly sat facing us. My stomach rumbled. I was used to not eating for prolonged periods of time but the Triplets were anxious to get some food in me
A blonde, pale waitress in her forties approached us in her white uniform. I looked at my
menu.
“Do you want me to order for you, Baby?” Purred Felix in my ear.
“No!” I said stiffly. My wolf promptly made me feel guilty for the hurt in his eyes at my tone.
“No, thank you...Baby,” I said hesitantly. Felix‘s face lit up like a Christmas tree. He began massaging my shoulders while I looked through the menu, describing everything he had already tried to me which was everything on the menų.
“Hey boys,” she said, “My new Alphas.” “Hey, Mattha,” said Felix, grinning “Hey!” Said Calix “Speaking of Alphas, meet your new luna,” said Alex, nodding towards me
Martha‘s suspicions were confirmed. She looked crestfallen but immediately recovered. 1 had never been more uncomfortable.
“It’s Chasity and make sure everyone here knows that. That’s an order ok,” said Felix tensely
Martha nodded fervently. “What does Luna Chasity want to drink?” “A cookies n’ cream milkshake, please,” I said.
“No!” I said, truly angry this time. The triplets stopped laughing and placed their orders. We ordered food one time.
“Ok, Baby,” he said. My inner wolf wanted to kiss him. I would not let her have his lips sol kissed his cheek. He grinned. Then, I kissed his jaw and his neck. He growled a little. What had come over me? Calix nudged me. I started to suck on Calix’s neck, leaving my own bickey. That caused a lot of commotion because then Felix and Alex demanded one each. I latched onto Felix neck. He groaned at my enthusiasm. Alex waited impatiently across from us. I climbed over Felix instead of asking to be excused and got into Alex‘s side of the booth. He grinned, anticipating the interaction.
