EPISODE 6

ALPHA JOHN:

"John, where are you coming from?" My mother asked me as I walked back into the grand foyer. It features high ceilings, grand staircases, and impressive architectural features and decor, such as chandeliers and large art pieces of my parents, my brothers, and myself.

"Mom," I groaned and caught sight of Julian and James at the dining table. The guests had all left the house, and night had fallen.

"I went to check on something," I lied and avoided her eyes.

"Why do I feel like you're not telling me the truth? Anyway," Mom said, her voice bubbling with excitement. "I have good news for you," she added, and I scowled.

"What's the good news, Mom?" I asked her, and she said, "Come over, let's sit at the dining table to talk before we have dinner, as it's getting late."

"Alright, Mom," I replied, before following her to join my brothers at the table, as they sat there discussing with our father, Alpha Sunny.

"So, John, your Dad and I have decided that you pick a chosen mate, since you and your brothers cannot find your real mates. We went to the Silverado Pack and we saw the Pack princess. She is very beautiful and will make a good Luna for you. She gave us a warm welcoming, and she is a good girl too," Mom said, and I breathed out heavily.

"John, I know that you will prefer to be with your real mate, but you and your brothers aren't getting any younger. You need to get married, and after you, Julian, and lastly James," Mom said, her tone soft and making me sigh heavily.

"Mom, I will need some time to think about this," I replied, not wanting to dismiss her suggestions, but my wolf didn't approve of any other woman. His reason for approving Tonia, I didn't know, but like Julian said, she was a good plaything.

"That's fine. Once you approve of her, your father and I will invite her to come and pay you a visit," Mom said, her tone bubbling with excitement, and I smiled forcibly.

"What's her name, Mom?" Julian chimed in, his ear perked up with interest to hear the lady's name.

"Stephanie Bennett," Mom said, and I sighed.

"Fine. I will need some time to think about Stephanie. When I decide, I will give you a conclusion," I said, irrespective of the fact that my wolf didn't approve of her.

James chimed in and asked, "Stephanie sounded good. What's her occupation, Mom? How old is she?"

Mom peered at us and said, "She's still a student, but she is a nurse. I am sure when she marries John, she can apply to work in our pack's hospital."

"Mmm…" I scowled and didn't protest.

"That's fine. John will need to give it a thought. But for me, I want no other woman but my real mate," Julian said, but Dad cut him off.

"Even you, Julian. I spoke to Elder Victor just now. He said that his daughter doesn't have a real mate, and he wants a good match for her. So I will invite her to the palace to meet you. She is a lawyer, so I am sure she will be of better use working in our law firm," Dad said, his tone firm, and Julian's jaw dropped.

"Dad, you don't have the right to matchmake a woman for me. I have the right to pick my wife, and not the woman you want me to pick. My wolf won't accept her. Don't forget, I have an avoidance of women," Julian stated, but Dad scowled.

"Avoidance of women indeed. Do you think that I am not aware of what you do in the club and how you shamelessly host young women to sleep with them?"

"Dad…" Julian's jaw dropped speechless as he didn't expect Dad to say that.

"That's not true. I only visit the club to have a drink. I will not approve of any slander against me. Whoever told you that must provide proof of me hosting different women," Julian said, clearly pissed off, but Dad brushed him off.

"Now is not the time to provide proof. But get ready to meet Elder Victor's daughter by Sunday. If I leave you guys to wait until you find your real mates, who knows how many unwanted babies out there that you have fathered!" Dad spat, and our jaws dropped.

"What? Dad, that's not true. You got the wrong information," I interjected, but he cut me off too.

"I will not wait for any of you to make a choice. As the Alpha and your father, my decision stands," Dad snapped, and we all turned silent.

"Fine. Do as you wish, Dad," I replied, and he nodded.

Mom sighed and said, "I know you boys will have a say in it. But if you do not like the girls, we can invite more girls. Who knows, you might find your real mate among them."

Mom sounded excited, but I didn't want to continue with the conversation. The more I spoke of mates, the more my mind wandered off to Tonia Marco. *Why was she always on my mind even when I tried to reject her?* Her tears, her pleading not to dump her, and how she pleasured my cọck, made me crave for her. Before I could say a word, Julian cut in, "Mom, let's have our dinner. I do not want to discuss chosen mates again."

"Alright, alright," Mom agreed and waved for the maids to bring our dinner.

After dinner, I rose to return to my room first, but my father stopped me.

"John, you should wait for me in my office. We have something important to discuss," Dad stated, as he always called on me. As the oldest triplet, he preferred to call me and believed I would let my brothers know what he had to say.

"Alright, Dad," I replied calmly before going to my father's home office to await his arrival.

A few minutes later, Dad walked into his office on the first floor. His expression was frosty as he walked up to take his seat.

"What were you and your brothers doing just now that your mother and I arrived? Do you think that I am not aware of what goes on under my roof?" Dad asked, and I lowered my head and avoided his striking brown eyes.

Of course, Dad is the Alpha, and he knows when I am telling a lie.

"Take a look for yourself." Dad turned on the flat screen television in his office and set it to reveal the mansion's CCTV.

"John, I expected the best of you. Just this one month that your mother and I traveled, you took turns to sleep with a maid," Dad paused the fụcking video on the television screen, and I couldn't reply.
