Her Triplet Alphas by Joanna J

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.
