The challenge two alphas one girl novel Chapter 62

Theo’s POV

Thaddeus, Friday and Maze were inseparable. I felt like my childhood best friend and alpha was keeping a secret from me. What was going on with those three? Were they getting along for Friday’s sake or did they actually enjoy each other’s company. Their sudden liking for each other seemed surprisingly genuine. I bounced baby Titus on my knee and sighed.

“Why so glum?” Asked my Ida.

“I feel like there’s something Thaddeus is keeping from me?” I said honestly.

“Like what?” She asked, c*g her head to one side.

“Like the full truth about what is going on with him and Friday and …Maze,” I said, grumbling the last word.

“But isn’t obvious?” Asked Ida.

“What?!” I exclaimed.

“Seems like they’re, you know, sharing her willingly,” mused Ida.

I burst into laughter. “Oh, please, they’d rather eat glass than do that!”

Ida shrugged.

“Confront him, then,” she said.

“What?! I asked.

“You heard me! Just confront him! Ask him what’s going on! Thaddeus is usually pretty open and honest. He’s a straightforward alpha,” said Ida.

I sighed. She was right. We’d been friends since we were pups. Later today, I was gonna ask Thaddeus what was up with him, Friday and Maze.

Raelynn’s POV

Friday and I essentially told my Ezra and her wolf-boys that we were besties now and we wanted to have a sleepover. They did not buy that one bit. We were permitted one more hour of girl time before Ezra had “pressing business to attend to requiring his predestined’s presence” and Maze had “urgent pack matters necessitating an early departure.” Thaddeus had thought a girly sleepover for me and Friday would have been “chill and cool” with him but it was not his day so “whatever Maze said.” Ugh. We should have scheduled this thing on Thaddeus’ day.

I was so nervous pulling up to the pack house. Ezra had been there twice before to discuss peace and good tidings between vampire and werewolf kind with Thaddeus. They were both big egalitarians. Ezra wasn’t scared of an ambush or anything but I believed he was wary of running into Fang. I’d seen Fang once in the Van Der Windt Manor. Ezra had forbidden me from talking to him calling him a “fiend” but not saying why. I couldn’t believe it. I’d been so close to my brother. In the next room! And I didn’t even know. The resemblance between Fang and me was not as striking.

I sp0tted Fang on the porch of the Berryndale Pack House. He’d never seen me before but I had caught a glimpse of him that day at the Manor before Ezra sent me back to my room. Ezra was bossy and extremely overprotective but he was my everything. I knew it was weird to have a vampire mate. I was not sure if I was the first. I had only been certain I was a she-wolf for about an hour now but I had always had a hunch and a voice in my head said Ezra was the one. She also said our “pup” would be special. I had asked Ezra to take me to a psychiatrist and he had obliged. The psychiatrist actually had not found anything wrong with me. Friday had explained to me in the restaurant that the voice was my wolf. Fang had told her our wolves can talk like separate ent!ties if powerful enough whereas some are just an instinct, an inner knowing.

I stared at Fang and he stared at me. I smiled. He frowned. I frowned. He scowled at me and I gave him the middle finger.

“Raelynn!” Chastised Friday.

“What? He’s being all rude,” I said.

Thaddeus and Maze were roaring with laughter. Ezra smirked. They boys didn’t know that was my brother officially yet but it was clear they had guessed what was going on. They were waiting patiently for Friday and me to explicitly tell them and I appreciated that. Fang stormed over.

“What is this?” Demanded Fang. He was trembling. He looked scared and was avoiding looking at Ezra. He was staring at me.

“I’m Raelynn,” I said.

“What is this vampire doing here?” Asked Fang.

“Raelynn?” Asked Thaddeus.

“No!” Fang said anxiously.

Thaddeus chuckled. “Why are you so uptight, Bro? This is Lord Ezra, my future Aly if our fathers ever agree to it.”

Ezra smiled at Fang. Fang recoiled. He went inside.

“Wait! I’m sorry! I was just kidding!” I called after my big brother, feeling annoyed but a little sad. He was so sensitive!

“Don’t worry about it, he takes time to warm up!” Friday reassured me.

“Like maybe a few weeks,” I said, nodding.

“Like twenty years,” Friday answered.

Maze and Thaddeus chuckled. She was totally serious.

“Maze, Thaddeus, we’re going to visit Farr, uh, my father,” Friday said.

Maze looked guilty and Thaddeus nodded sadly. Ezra was impassive. Ezra k!ssed my forehead.

“Forty-five minutes,” he breathed against me.

“You said an hour?” I pouted.

“Thirty minutes,” he said.

“Ezra!” I whimpered.

He laughed and k!ssed me. Then, he went somewhere with Thaddeus and Maze.

I went down to the dungeons with Friday. It was cold with walls and floors made of stone and silver bars to keep werewolf prisoners in. I walked to the last cell. A man with olive skin and dark eyes and dark wavy matted hair was there, sleeping. He opened one eyes suddenly. I jumped. He looked at me like he had seen a ghost. He recoiled even further against the stone wall. His cot was empty, untouched. It seemed he preferred the cold stone. Maybe it was a werewolf thing.

“Farris, this is Raelynn,” said Friday softly.

Farris cackled. “My, my, how you’ve grown!” Said my father, Farris.

“Just like your mother,” he said, gazing at me.

I smiled slightly.

“A w***e,” he said.

The smiled slipped off my face. I knew he would be a nasty piece of work from what Friday had said.

“Having two wh0res for daughters and a third one for a wife,” he spat.

“The former Beta,” he said.

“Take some of his hair and take some of Malachi’s and bring the samples to me. I will ask the technicians in the lab at the Manor,” I said softly to Friday.

“This is Raelynn,” said Friday, introducing me to the twins, both pairs of them.
