Ava’s POV

I stared at him, not knowing what to say. My heart was thudding in my chest, and I could feel the heat in my cheeks, but I tried to hold his gaze. He looked serious, unreadable.

“Were you… were you being serious just now?” I asked, finally, my voice quieter than I expected.

His eyes didn’t waver. “Yes,” he said, simple and firm.

I swallowed hard, feeling my stomach twist. I didn’t want to make this bigger than it already felt. I didn’t want him thinking, whatever it was he was thinking.

“I wasn’t reacting to you,” I said, trying to sound calm, trying to make it sound believable. “I just didn’t want any trouble. People were taking pictures. That’s all it was. Not what you’re thinking.”

He didn’t say anything at first. Just nodded. Slowly. Like he was hearing me, but not really believing a word I’d just said.

The way he didn’t argue, didn’t question me, made it worse. I kind of wished he had snapped, or laughed, or even rolled his eyes. Anything. But the way he just accepted i

  • My Triplet Alphas   Chapter 202

    Ava;s POVI watched as the three of them walked away from my room, their footsteps heavy on the stairs. That’s exactly what I meant by them changing. If this were before, if this were the old them, they would have stayed with me. They would have sat on my bed, held my hands, and refused to leave until we worked everything out together. They would have kept talking, kept trying, kept pushing until we found a solution.But now? Now they just walked away when I told them to leave me alone. They gave up so easily, like they were relieved to have an excuse to go.I shifted off the thought, trying not to let it hurt as much as it did. There was no point in dwelling on how different they were acting. I needed to focus on taking care of myself since they clearly weren’t going to do it anymore.I went to my bathroom and turned on the cold water, letting it run until it was freezing. The shock of the cold water against my skin felt good, like it was washing away all the confusion and anger from

  • My Triplet Alphas   Chapter 201

    Irish and I looked at Steve, waiting for him to give a further explanation of what had just happened with Ava.Steve shook his head, looking just as lost as we felt. “I’m sure as hell that Ava was beside me the whole night,” he said firmly. “She never left the bed. She was sleeping right next to me when we went to sleep.” The three of us tried to gather everything together, piecing through what Ava had said and what we knew to be true. I could feel the frustration building in my chest as I tried to make sense of the conflicting information. Ava was accusing us of abandoning her to go to a party, but Steve had been with her that night. It didn’t add up.Then suddenly something switched in my head, I stood up with realization. “Wait,” I said, looking at both my brothers. “Maybe the person who told Ava that we went to the party did not specify which day we went to the party.”Irish and Steve both looked at me with interest, waiting for me to continue.“Because it sure as hell wasn’t the

  • My Triplet Alphas   Chapter 200

    The house felt different now that Caleb was gone. We sat in the living room, Irish and Steve were playing games on the console while I pressed my phone, but none of us were really focused on what we were doing.Caleb had taken his own life. After everything we put him through in that forest, after all the questions and the pain we inflicted trying to get answers about Marcus, he had gone home and ended it all. The police said they found a letter in his room confessing to killing Marcus out of jealousy, then taking his own life because he couldn’t live with the guilt.I kept replaying that night in my mind. The way Caleb had looked at us with those frightened eyes when we cornered him in his house. How he’d trembled when we dragged him into the forest. The way he’d refused to speak, no matter how much we hurt him. Had he been planning it even then? Had we pushed him over the edge he was already standing on?Irish threw down his controller with more force than necessary. “I can’t concen

  • My Triplet Alphas   Chapter 199

    Zayne’s POV The next day, I woke up with my hands still sore from the night before. After all our attempts to make Caleb talk, he had refused to even lift his lips to say anything. We had punished him, tormented him, threatened him, but he just kept quiet like his life depended on staying silent.Eventually, we got to a stage where we were just fed up and decided to leave him in the forest and come back home. We were worried that Ava would be awake and looking for us, wondering where we had gone in the middle of the night. But when we got home, Ava was still fast asleep in her room, completely unaware that we had even left.I rubbed my knuckles, feeling the ache from hitting Caleb so many times. Part of me felt bad about what we had done, but another part of me was frustrated that we still didn’t have any answers. We were no closer to understanding what was happening to us or who was behind all the strange events.I stood up from my bed and went to take a bath, trying to wash away th

  • My Triplet Alphas   Chapter 198

    Irish’s POV Before any of us could give the boy an answer to his question about who we were, I moved forward and gave him a hard punch right in the mouth, telling him to shut up. The impact sent him stumbling backward, and I could see blood starting to form on his lip.Zayne quickly walked up to me and told me to calm down. He reminded me that if we kept questioning him and hitting him inside the house, it might make people come knocking to see what was happening.“You’re right,” I said, though I was still angry. “We need to take him somewhere private.”So we decided to take Caleb to the forest, just like we had done with Marcus. It seemed like the perfect place where no one would hear us or interrupt what we needed to do.Caleb tried to resist as we grabbed him, but he was much smaller and weaker than any of us. His fear made him even more helpless. We dragged him out of his apartment and through the back exit of the building, heading toward the forest area.“Please,” Caleb kept say

  • My Triplet Alphas   Chapter 197

    Steve’s POV I was able to get Caleb’s location through Rebecca, though it made me feel sick to my stomach. I had to promise her a date on Saturday morning, which was making me angry because I had no interest in Rebecca or anything about her. I just wanted us to be done with everything that was happening so I could have a peaceful mind again.The conversation with Rebecca had been painful. She kept batting her eyelashes at me and talking about how excited she was for our date. I had to smile and nod while inside I was screaming. But I got what we needed, Caleb’s address and some details about where he usually stayed.“He lives in the apartment complex near the library,” Rebecca had told me, leaning closer than I was comfortable with. “He’s been acting really weird since Marcus died, though. Like, super paranoid and jumpy.”That information was exactly what we needed. If Caleb was acting paranoid, it meant he definitely knew something about what happened to Marcus. Maybe he even knew a
