Lahat ng Kabanata ng Triplet Alphas and Their Reluctant Mate: Kabanata 151 - Kabanata 160

IZZY POV I lay back with a gasp, utterly exhausted.  I could sense Agnes moving between my legs, clamping cords and cleaning up.  Cornelius appeared next to my bed. “Is it done?” he asked. Agnes shook her head.  “I need a few more minutes.  She will bleed to death unless I get the bleeding to stop.”  She walked over to the table and picked up a cup with liquid in it that she had made up hours earlier.  Cornelius looked impatient. “Do it quickly,” he said.  “We need to move.” Agnes shrugged.  “If you want her healthy enough to feed the pup until its weaned, you need to give me time.” Cornelius turned on his heel and walked to the mouth of the cave again.  I looked at Agnes, fearful. “Drink, Izzy,” she said in a low voice.  “This is something to stop the bleeding, nothing more.  I promise.”  As I watched, her eyes flashed from black to white again.  I wondered if sh

IZZY POVI heard the ceiling collapse, and I squeezed my eyes shut as tight as I could, praying that Troi was able to get the last baby out before the ton of dirt and rocks cascaded down, crushing them. I listened intently, trying to hear anything other than the frantic beating of my heart.  Nothing.  The tons of soil separating me from the entrance of the cave muffled any sort of noise that might be going on.  I couldn’t hear if a rescue was in progress or if a baby was buried, crying out for me.  I shook my head, trying to clear my mind of that horrible mental picture. First thing first.  I needed to get out of this bed.  I twisted my arms, trying to work the silver off from my wrists.  Troi had immediately began gnawing them the second she found me.  I stopped her.   It was more important for her to get the babies out of here and she acted like she understood, taking each bundle out carefully

IZZY POVThe doctors practically forced Caleb into a wheelchair and assigned an orderly to wheel him to see the babies.  Caleb grumbled, but I think he was still feeling a little weak from his adventures because it was halfhearted.  We followed behind him, led to the room with our sons.The door opened and I could see three bassinets in a row.  Medical equipment was set up, but nothing looked like it was running.  I gave a sigh of relief, praying that my sons were found healthy enough that they didn’t need any medical interventions. Ethan was standing in place, gently rocking his body from side to side.  When the door opened, he turned, a big grin on his face.  He had a baby in each arm, and one was in the bassinet behind him. “Hi, daddies and mama,” he crooned.  I let go of Reese’s hand and stepped forward, reaching out.   Ethan carefully placed a baby into my arms.I

GRIZ POVI finished taking care of the body and then washed my hands in the same trickle of water Kat had cleaned herself with.  Then I followed the tunnel out.Kat was waiting for me right at the entrance of the passageway.  I could see a few warriors in the meadow, waiting for us.  Reese must have ordered them to wait in case we needed help.“Did you do it?” Kat asked.  I nodded my head.“It’s done.”“How?” Kat seemed anxious.  “He’s a vampire so it has to be done right.”“Decapitated and then the body burned,” I said.  “That’s what took me so long.  I didn’t want to accidentally start a forest fire.  Cornelius has caused enough damage.”She nodded.  I could tell she was fighting back tears.  I reached over to her and pulled her into my chest.She stood in the circle of my arms.&nbs

IZZY POVAnd, with that, our lives changed.  Days went by so fast and we all fell into bed exhausted every night.  I had plenty of help with the babies, and I still felt like I was late for everything and I was usually dressed wrong.  But the boys were my life.  All six of them.The prophecy moved to the background, never forgotten but not obsessed over.  With every major milestone, I would look at the prophecy again and see if it was mentioned.  The problem with prophecies is that they’re not really clear and you can make most scenarios fit.  Cornelius had tried to do that, and it didn’t end well for him.  Most times I would close the computer, deciding that I didn’t need to worry just yet.When the triplets were five, we moved them down a floor into my mates’ old quarters.  That decision came one night after Axl walked in on us enjoying an intimate moment.  He was concerned because he ha
