Alle Kapitel von THE TRIPLET ALPHAS AND THEIR REJECTED MATE: Kapitel 81 – Kapitel 90

Ricky’s POVThe first light of dawn painted the sky as I slipped out of bed, leaving Shannon and the baby in the warmth of our rented home far from our pack and in this small town we now found ourselves.A nagging unease hung in the air after Shannon’s nightmare, a gnawing feeling that something wasn’t right. Feeling disturbed about her, I’d returned to be with Shannon after I and the boys left her to go back to sleep.As I left the house with Shannon and my brothers still in bed, I strolled through the quiet streets, the town beginning to wake up and buzz with activities. As I walked, the weight of I and my brothers’ secret about Selena and Leila pressed on my mind.The morning air was crisp, carrying a mix of anticipation and anxiety. I meandered through the streets, a stranger in the midst of unfamiliar faces. The town market came alive as vendors arranged their wares, each cheerful face unaware of the shadows of my past.I couldn’t shake the disquiet that had settled within me. Wh

Shannon’s POVEvening approached as the triplets returned from their jobs. The air in our home, usually laced with the aroma of dinner and shared laughter, now held a tension I couldn’t quite shake off.As we gathered in the living room, the weight of the strange encounter at the park lingered. “Guys, something weird happened today,” I began, my voice laced with unease.“You finally saw sense in the name I suggested for our baby?” Cole asked, a silly smile playing on his lips.“No. Not that, Cole.” I responded, not eager to return his smile or joke.“Well then, what is it? Don’t tell me the baby pooped all over the couch again.” Jules called our from by the refrigerator as he took out a beer.“I was at the park, and this older woman approached me. She stared at me for the longest time, then gasped and ran off without saying a word.”Ricky’s brow furrowed, concern etching his features. “Did she say anything? Do you recognize her?”I shook my head, my mind still muddled by the bizarre e

Ricky’s POVAs Shannon’s accusations echoed in the air, a heavy silence settled over us, interrupted only by the sound of her hasty movements in the bedroom. Jules held his head, his guilt palpable, while Cole’s brow furrowed with concern.I had struggled to find the right words, but my heart was too heavy with the weight of her disappointment in us. Her words had struck a chord, the truth about her accusation cut through me like a knife. Unable to bear the feeling anymore, I followed her into the bedroom. My brothers trailed me.“I know we messed up, Shannon. I know we made a mistake,” Jules interjected when we silently stood at the door, his voice filled with remorse.But Shannon shook her head. “I need time alone. I need to figure out what to think of all this.”Before we could protest, she lifted our son from his crib, and grabbed a small bag she’d packed some clothes in from the bed and walked out the room.Both surprised and curious, we all followed her wondering where she was h

Ricky’s POVI stepped into our dimly lit living room, the fatigue from a long day’s work weighing heavily on my shoulders. Cole and Jules were already there, sprawled across the couch, their faces with concern as they eyed me.“Ricky, you look like you’ve seen a ghost,” Jules remarked, his brow furrowing.I collapsed onto the armchair, exhaustion seeping into my bones. “Not a ghost, but something equally grim,” I muttered, recounting the horrible sight we had discovered. A mutilated animal, its entire entrails missing.Cole’s eyes widened in horror, while Jules leaned forward, his expression grave. “That’s messed up, man. What do you think could’ve done something like that?” Cole asked, his voice barely above a whisper.“I don’t know, but it ain’t normal,” I replied, my mind racing with unsettling possibilities.“It’s not just you,” Jules mentioned, his gaze sweeping over I and Cole. “I overheard some of my co-workers talking about strange animal deaths at the factory today.”“Are you

Shannon’s POVAfter the manager finally left, muttering something about checking the heater, I was left alone in the strange silence of the room. Confusion clouded my thoughts as I tried to make sense of what had just happened.Why had the manager barged in like that? And where had the mysterious woman disappeared to? With a sense of unease gnawing at my insides, I rose from the chair I’d sat in and began to search the room, hoping to find some clue as to the woman’s whereabouts.But no matter where I looked, there was no sign of her. It was as if she had vanished into thin air. Feeling frustrated and helpless, I approached the window, my gaze falling on the open window through which the woman had seemingly escaped.With a sinking feeling in my chest, I realized that she must have slipped out while I was trying to see who it was at the door and opening it. As I leaned out the window, scanning the darkness below, my eyes fell upon a small piece of paper stuck there fluttering in the br
