Triplet Alphas and Their Reluctant Mate

Isadora POV The grass was cool under my bare feet and the breeze was sweet smelling. I tipped my head up into the wind and sniffed, appreciating the whirl of scents that it brought me. The season was changing from spring to summer and berries were beginning to ripen. I could smell rain in the distance and the yeasty scent of fresh baked bread wafted from town. I frowned. I could smell something else, something rotten and dirty. I looked towards the woods and could see two men and a woman approaching me. I wrinkled my nose but put a smile on my face. They were probably lost and needed help. They couldn’t help how they smelled. Before my eyes, they turned into wolves. The largest of the wolves bared his teeth at me and growled. I could see the sharpness of his teeth and I could feel the hatred radiating off from him. I cried out and took a step back and bumped into something warm and soft. I turned to see a wolf, the largest and most beautiful wolf that I have ever seen

IZZY POV“Ow!” I yelled as my head cracked against the truck window for the third time in less than a mile. Mom was behind the wheel of a rental truck with bad springs. It was the most uncomfortable ride I’ve ever taken. Mom smiled at me, looking excited.“Just a little bit more,” she promised. I looked out the front windshield, a gloomy look on my face. I was excited, but a little nervous. Mom seemed weird when she was telling me about this place.“Tell me again about Moonstone Pack?” I asked, naming the town we were heading towards.“It’s kind of like a gated community, but it’s a whole town,” she patiently explained to me again. “Your Aunt Luna and Uncle Alpha are kind of like the mayors. They run the place. They have triplet boys who will be home from boarding school tomorrow. They’re coming back from Italy. A specialized course of study.”I had heard all this before. I had questions.“So why aren’t we getting our own house?” I pouted. “I don’t want to live with two a

IZZY POVI was in a hurry. I had spent the morning with mom in the basement of the Alpha house. They had a full gym set up down there with weights and exercise equipment and an entire area devoted to what mom called training. It was pretty much her pretending to try to kill me and me fighting back.I was hot, sweaty and so hungry when she finally checked the clock and called it quits.“Sorry, baby girl. I ran us too long. You need to shower quick and get downstairs. The triplets will be home in less than an hour.”I rolled my eyes. I’ve been in this home for less than twenty-four hours and I noticed that whenever anyone spoke of the boys, they called them ‘the triplets’ and had a note of reverence in their voice. I know identical triplets are rare, but it’s not unheard of for crying out loud. I raced upstairs and into my dreamy bathroom. I thought about taking a bubble bath, but I had less than an hour and I really wanted to enjoy my first bath in this room. I hopped into t

IZZY POVI was waiting for the triplets in the foyer when they got back from the Packhouse. I could tell that they had a good workout while they were there; they were glistening with sweat and they were still shirtless. I swallowed hard. They had the most perfect pectoral muscles with a gorgeously cut six pack and they wore their jeans slung low on their hips. They smelled divine and I wondered what cologne they all used. It was slightly musky, like the clean scent of outdoors after a really hard rain, mixed with oranges and cut grass. It was a perfect scent for them, and I loved how it smelled.I stood awkwardly in the hall until they noticed me. Caleb saw me first, stopping with a tentative smile on his face. Reese and Ethan almost ran into him.There was silence. I could tell the boys didn’t know what to say to me.“I’m sorry,” I began. “I panicked. Mom came up and explained everything to me.”I saw the three of them exchange glances. “Explained what, exactly,” Ethan as

IZZY POVThe triplets followed me out of the room and Caleb closed the door firmly behind us. “I’m really proud of you,” Reese said to me. “I admire how you’re always standing up for your mom.”I looked at him with a smile. “She sacrificed everything for me,” I said, softly. “It bothers me when people don’t see her for her amazing self.” I took two steps forward and then felt a wave of heat hit me like an oven. “Do you feel that?” I asked, faltering, my voice sounding a million miles away in my head. My vision began to swim, and I heard one of the brothers exclaim very loudly. I felt hands on my body, and I tried to push them off, weakly. I was too hot. I didn’t want anyone to touch me.I blacked out, but not all the way. I was vaguely aware of being lifted, cradled in someone’s arms. I heard a hollow voice saying that I was too hot. I tried to protest, to ask for water, but I was as weak as a newborn kitten. I could feel my clothes being peeled off from my body and then
