Her Triplet Alphas by Joanna J

Chapter 90

Chapter 29: Pre-Vacay Pressure regarding Dangerous Woman Chasity Calix 

After the bath, Chasity seemed more relaxed. Felix’s idea might have actually worked. Perhaps, she had been carrying this fear of being around water especially if we were present. Maybe, she was finally 

able to release some of that old fear. We all dried off and got dressed in Chasity’s room. Chasity was wrapped in a huge towel, sitting on the edge of her bed. She waited for us change before she reached for her own clothes. 

“Do you need help drying your hair?” Asked Alex. “No, that’s ok,” she said politely. 

“Are you sure, Luna? I don’t mind at all. It’s my pleasure,” he said, running his fingers through her tangled curls. 

“No, Alex, it’s ok, i’ll meet you guys at dinner,” she said shyly. My brothers and I were in tees and sweatpants now but she seemed more embarrassed than  ever. 

“She probably wants some privacy to change,” I said gently. “Let’s give her that,” I said pointedly to my brothers who reluctantly followed me out the door. 

I saw Felix edging around the hallway beyond her bedroom door. “What’re you doing?” I asked. “Waiting for her to change. I want to talk,” he mumbled. “Perhaps, we could talk in the meanwhile,” said Mom, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. Alex jumped a little. He had not been expecting her to be standing there when he turned around. “Yes, of course, Mom, what do you want to talk about?” I asked, concerned. 

“Let’s go somewhere more private,” she said, lowering her voice though no one was around to overhear us, except perhaps Chasity but I could guarantee that she was not listening at the door. She was never particularly curious or concerned about the affairs of our parents. 

We followed Mom upstairs to one of the conference rooms. There was tea prepared with tea biscuits and cakes. She used to do this whenever she delivered bad news to us as children. Thus, teatime became an omen, a harbinger of something nefarious or otherwise upsetting. We sipped our tea politely. Alex took full cream milk but no sugar. Felix took two sugars but no milk. I took two sugars and full cream milk. Mom drank her tea with no sugar and no milk, plain. I did not know how she did that. 

“What were you three up to in Chasity’s bathroom when I came knocking earlier?” Asked Mom. “We were taking a bath,” said Felix bluntly. 

“The three of you? You haven’t done that since you were toddlers,” simpered Mom. 

“The four of us, obviously, Mom,” said Alex sheepishly. “We would never take a bath as three grown men just like that.” 

“Chasity doesn’t know how to take a bath on her own,” laughed Mom. 

*She’s traumatised from the ice fishing hole incident and we’re helping her. Exposure therapy if you will,” said Alex curtly 

Mom nodded. There was a long pause. 

“You know it’s so funny,” chuckled Mom. “When you three were about to turn twenty-one without a 

Chapter 29: Pre-Vacay Press Luna to reign alongside you, your father and I almost considered some of the offers we had been getting.” 

“Offers? Excuse me,” said Felix, narrowing his eyes. 

“From other packs. Alphas who have only daughters, no sons. They would love to have triplet son-in-laws and to have an allegiance with our pack. We considered introducing you to a select few of those girls to see if there were any sparks. Not everyone is lucky enough to find their mate. Not every Luna is her Alpha’s fated mate. Most are but there are exceptions,” explained Mom. 

“Now that we have our mate, you have dismissed them all, have you not?” Asked Alex, looking concerned. 

Mom laughed airily. “Yes, of course, of course,” she said reassuringly. “Ok, well what is this about then?” Asked Alex, leaning forward and taking her hand, 

“I’m a bit concerned about you three going away alone with Chasity,” said Mom, whispering Chasity’s name like she was afraid to say it. 

This conversation was going to make me angry and I was not easy to anger but I could feel it already. 

“Why is that?” I asked quickly. 

“Because, she clearly harbours some ill-will towards you three. You were old rivals as children,” said Mom. 

“We were not rivals, we were bullies and we’re atoning for that. What are you saying, Mom? That we’re in danger from five-foot-four if she stands on her tip-toes Chasity? We’re twice her size and there’s three of us so we’re six times her size,” said Felix, laughing. 

“She could set you up,” hissed Mom. 

“Is this real life? Are you serious? Where’s the camera? This is a joke right? A prank?” Asked Felix, raising his voice, theatrically looking around for a hidden film crew. 

“Keep your voice down,” hissed Mom. 

“Mom, you think Chasity will what… assassinate us on our trip?” I asked, looking at her with wide eyes. 

Mom pursed her lips. “Not in so many words,” she said. “But you’ll be vulnerable.” “No, Mom,” said Alex, his voice strained. “She’ll be vulnerable.” 

“How would Chasity afford the kind of hitman it would take to take us down? That’s top of the line,” said Felix frankly. 

Alex snorted with laughter. “She has your credit cards, doesn’t she?” Said Mom. “You do know that she is a high school student,” said Felix. “Meaning?” Asked Mom. 

“Meaning that we pay her credit card balance. The charges are itemised and readily available. It’s called online banking and I did not see hitman anywhere on there,” grumbled Felix. 

“She could do it herself. Put something in your drinks,” said Mom. “You’re hysterical,” I said softly “No, I’m not, Calix, Honey,” she cried. “Don’t Calix Honey me,” I said, stone-laced. My brothers stiffened Mom stared at me.
