“You’re not leaving with them, once we find them,” Felix said. I relaxed a little, realising I was grown up now. I couldn’t exactly just redo my childhood. I could get to know my parents as an adult if I could find them.
“What if they’re not…” I couldn’t bear to finish that question. They just had to be. I needed them to be alive.
Felix sighed. “Well, by find them, I mean find out the story, what happened? Even…who did it if they’re…you know. And it’s no big deal to kill the people responsible.”
“What?” I yelped.
Felix chuckled. “Baby, you’re mated to three alphas. We have a huge pack to protect from rogues, vampires, wizards, witches, human werewolf hunters. You think we’ve never killed before. Even baby-boy Calix?”
Calix…kill?
I stared at Felix, remembering him saying he had went easy on me my whole life. Is that because he killed people who crossed him and the pack? In actuality? My wolf was grumbling like I was an i***t. Of course, alphas had to kill sometimes. That was why they were given such strength and speed to protect the pack from rival predators. I felt like I understood the triplets a lot better. They were cuddly teddy bears with me compared to how they acted when on pack business. I had just never seen any of that.
“I don’t want you killing anyone to avenge my parents if it puts you and my other two alphas in danger,” I said. I could not lose my mates. What if my parents were already lost to me? I had contemplated walking away from them many times but now that Felix was offering this vengeance, I was terrified for his wellbeing and that of Alex and Calix.
“And,” said Felix sternly, “Your pretty little ass stays home while my brothers and I do the digging and the dirty work to get to the bottom of everything!”
“Why…” I began.
“That part is not up for discussion,” Felix said eyes turning black. Rather than feeling afraid or offended, my core got wet and Felix smirked, enjoying the effect his display of dominance had on me.
He tossed me onto the bed. I squealed but it didn’t hurt. I giggled waiting for Felix to pounce on me.
“I’ll leave you to your solo nap, Baby,” Felix grumbled.
I pouted.
“It’s what you asked for!” He exclaimed.
I curled up in the bed.
“My brothers and I suddenly have a lot of work to do, Baby,” said Felix turning to leave. “See you tonight, Princess.”
“The things I do for love!” I heard Felix exclaim dramatically as he walked out into the hallway to go convince his brothers. Would the triplets really track down my parents? Or my parents’ enemies? The people who made them leave town. My wedding present might be a hit on some fiend or something. I sighed lying in the empty bed. What had I just asked Felix to do?
Third Person
“Essentially what you’re saying is you promised Chasity that we’d track down her parents if they’re alive or kill her parents’ killers to avenge their deaths of they’re dead,” said Alex, the eldest and most level-headed of the triplet alphas.
“Sounds like a cool movie plot. I like it,” said Calix encouragingly. The youngest alpha was sweet and optimistic as usual but missing the point.
“Yeah, I promised her that because it’s what she wants most and what we want most is her. Until the chapter with her parents has some kind of conclusion on it, she won’t be full present in the relationship,” explained Felix, shocking his brothers. Middle child, reckless Felix had thought this true. He was making a lot of sense but Alex and Calix were not used to this side of Felix so they fell silent.
After a few tense moments, Calix said, “I think we should do it. We owe her that much, but how are we going to get Mom to be ok with this.”
“We don’t need to tell her!” grumbled Felix as though that were obvious.
“We might, yeah,” said Alex. “We’ll need more information on Chasity’s parents like who their old friends are, where their old haunts are.”
Alex was right. They needed leads. The case was nine years old and their mother was the only lead they had right now.
“Calix, are you willing to sweet-talk Mom into being ok with this?” Asked Felix.
“Don’t tell her about the avenging their deaths part if they’ve been murdered! Just tell her about the finding out what happened for Chasity’s peace of mind part,” Alex explained.
Calix nodded. “I can do that.”
“Work in how if Chasity finds out enough about her parents, she’ll be content enough to stay, thereby safeguarding our triplet hearts!” Said Felix.
“Good angle!” Commented Alex. “Mom will eat that up!”
“You got this, Calix!” Added Alex.
“Come through Baby boy Calix!” Cheered Felix.
Calix grinned. The three alphas put the iPhone on loud speaker. They were belowdeck in a game room that was made to look like a casino. There were tables for playing cards, namely blackjack and poker, with chips for betting like at a real casino. Their family had hosted real games here from time to time, but Mom had put a stop to it saying the werewolf men got too angry when they were losing. The room also had slot machines and a pool table.
The phone rang just once. “Calix, sweetheart, how are you?” Cooed Luna Ronnie. “Mommy misses you so much!”
Felix was stifling a snicker. Alex nodded encouragingly.
“Miss you too, Mom! I’m not good. Mom, I made a mistake,” said Calix sadly.
Alex knew his mother could envision the pout on Calix’s face from that tone of voice.
“What happened, sweetheart?” Asked Luna Ronnie.
“I…don’t hate me ok?” Calix said, his voice shaking. Damn he was good, thought Alex, making an impressed face at Felix who nodded in agreement.
“I could never ever EVER hate you, Calix!! You are my baby boy! Now tell Mommy what happened?! She’s worried sick,” said Luna Ronnie.
“I let it slip to Chasity about how your little stepbrother is her father,” Calix mumbled. He knew the Luna had heard him. They were werewolves.
“Calix, you have to be careful, hun, ok, especially around her,” scolded the Luna.
“Ok, Mommy but she asked something of me and I wanna give it to her,” said Calix.
“Ok,” said the Luna slowly, prompting Calix to continue.
“I promised her I would help her find out what happened to her parents after that day they drove and left her at the pack house,” said Calix, getting straight to the point.
There was more silence. “Felix and Alex promised too! It was either that or risk her running away to find out on her own. She could disappear too, Mom, or get hurt or…we couldn’t handle losing her, Mom. I can’t even think about it. It makes me sick. You know how the mate bond, don’t you, Mom? How would you react if Dad wanted to go off and solve some criminal cold case but it was super dangerous but you couldn’t stop him either!” Said Calix, laying it on thick.
“I…I…I would help him.
“Exactly, Mom, and we wanna help Chasity. We want her to be at peace with the past somewhat,” Calix sticked his landing.
