Chapter 40: Chasity's Coldest Day Calix Chasity was stunned silent. Had I just blown our chance with her? No, no. She had already agreed to marry us.

She could not back out now.

She would not back out now.

Not over some ancient feud between our mothers.

I stared at her.

She was shivering.

She was probably just cold.

I walked her over to the sunlit area of the pool where the water was warmer.

I waited for her to warm up under the sunroof but she was still shivering so I pressed my lips against hers andtightened my arms around her, sharing some of my own warmth, my body heat.

Werewolves had higher core body temperatures and Alphas had the highest of the high.

By human standards, alphas had perennial fevers.

Chasity's lips were soft and sweet as usual but she soon pressed her palms against my chest, breaking the kiss.

I sighed, a frown forming on my face.

I had messed up.

Alex would be pissed that I broke the news to her this way, impulsively, emotionally, and without strategic and careful planning.

I could practically hear his response in my head.

Felix would be livid that we had kept him in the dark on this one.

“Alex knows about this too?" Asked Chasity.

I was just glad she had finally said something.

“Yeah," I said sheepishly.

I wanted her to know we had planned on telling her.

I launched into an explanation.

"He and I were wondering when we should tell you.

We've only known since shortly after becoming alphas after our birthday.

We didn't grow up knowing this.

We couldn't tell Felix as Alex knew he would blab or blurt it out to you whenever there was a heatedmoment and we wanted to develop a good relationship with you first and start making you happy.

It's been torture keeping this from our brother and you.

We're triplets! And you're our mate! The bonds are so intense, but we were waiting for the right time.

We didn't want to hurt you anymore and you were already so overwhelmed by us.

I'm sorry, Chasity, for not telling you right away but I thought it was best and so did Alex," I said, allin one breath.

I continued to give her my best puppy-dog eyes.

They had never failed me with girls before but Chasity was different.

She was very strong-willed.

I had known she was special from the very first moment I laid eyes on her.

Flashback

It was particularly cold today.

It was always cold up North.

Northern Wolf Country had the longest winters imaginable.

They took up half the year.

My brothers and I always played inside on really cold days like these.

Felix would sulk though because he wanted to venture out.

He just wanted to show off how tough he supposedly was.

Alex would use the opportunity to study pack laws.

I would read mystery or horror books or watch mysteries and horrors on television even though / got a bit scared sometimes.

We were all sitting in the living room by the huge fireplace, engrossed in our usual cold day indoor activities.

“We only have...what...about nine years left to get all these memorised," said Alex, showing Felix and me the huge pack law book.

Felix rolled his eyes.

He was taking a break from sulking to draw something.

I put down my mystery book suddenly.

Alex put the down the pack law book at the same moment.

Felix stopped drawing at precisely the same time too.

We exchanged curious glances.

Sometimes, we all sensed something at the same time as triplets.

Whenever I had an emotion hit me out of nowhere / knew it could be coming from one of my brothers.

Currently, I was feeling sad and scared for no apparent reason.

It was so overwhelming.

I did not like it at all.

“What is that?"/ asked.

“You!" Snapped Felix.

"You 're the crybaby of the group! Ugh, go upstairs and cry.

Don't bring me down.

I'm trying to draw here!" I huffed "It is not me!" I said through gritted teeth.

He was so unfair sometimes.

“Alex, tell him it’s not me!"/ demanded, nudging Alex.

Alex was a proper big brother.

He looked out for me.

Felix was always picking on me.
