All Chapters of The Triplet Alphas Are My Mates!: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

AXELThe moment the door opened and I saw Cassian standing there, something inside me went cold. It wasn’t the kind of cold that made me shiver. This one was the kind that hit my bones and stayed there like ice that had refused to melt. He stood on the porch like he had been waiting for this exact moment. Like he had planned it.His hands were in the pockets of a clean dark jacket, his hair was too neat for the middle of the night, and his face had that calm, smug look I always hated. He didn’t step inside. He didn’t even lean forward. He just waited on the porch like he expected someone to invite him in.I felt Ava step behind me without needing to turn around. The deep breath she took in when her eyes landed on him cut right through me. She tried to hide behind my shoulder, but Cassian’s gaze moved to her instantly. He held her stare, and the look in his eyes made my chest tighten.I hated it so much that right now, it made my vision spark at the edges, it made my hands curl into f

ROMANThe question hit me like I’d taken a punch to the chest. Pregnant? I swear the air left my lungs for a second. My head snapped toward Ava so fast my neck popped. She looked shocked. She wasn’t pretending or confused. She was just frozen like someone had dumped cold water on her.I didn’t know what to think. My heart jumped around inside my chest while my brain ran through every moment we had shared. Every time her legs had been wrapped around us. Every time we moved like we couldn’t get enough of her. My thoughts spiraled in a way I didn’t want them to, but I couldn’t stop it.Ava shook her head right away. “No. I’m not. I’m not pregnant.”Her voice came out too sharp, like she wanted to silence Draya forever.Draya only smiled, like she’d expected exactly that answer. Her eyes stayed on Ava the whole time. I hated the way she looked at her, like she was checking off a list in her mind, or as if Ava was a puzzle she’d already solved.“How would you even know that?” I asked befo

ZADEThe second I saw her standing there on the porch, I almost shut the door in her face. I didn’t even think about it. My hand just moved on its own, like my body was trying to secure the cabin from evil before my brain caught up.Hailey Whitmore of all people.She didn’t look like she belonged here. Not even a little bit. Her heels were sinking deep into the dirt like the earth itself was rejecting her, and her hair was styled like she’d just walked off a red carpet. Her lips were painted in a too-bright color that reminded me of every bad memory she’d ever given me in high school.She introduced herself like we all didn’t know her, and she wasn’t the same girl who made half the school miserable. Like she wasn’t the same girl who’d dated me and treated everyone around her like they were beneath her.Ava stiffened beside me the moment Hailey smiled in her direction. I hated that. I hated the way Hailey’s eyes lit up when she noticed it too, like she’d found a weakness she could poke

AXELThe alarm went off so suddenly that it felt like the whole building jumped. One loud blast. Then another. It sounded like something meant to cut straight through the chest and send fear spiraling through the whole body. Ava froze for half a second, and that was all it took for my body to move on its own. I grabbed her arm and pulled her against me.“Stay with me,” I said, even though she already was.Roman and Zade shot up from the couch at the same time. Roman went for the door first. Zade checked the windows again like he expected to find Cassian pressed against the glass.The alarm kept repeating in the same rhythm and pitch. Somehow, it wasn’t sounding right. A real fire alarm always had little glitches. This one didn’t.Roman frowned. “That’s not ours.”Zade nodded. “Yeah. That’s… weird.”Weird wasn’t the right word, but my brain was busy with other things. Under the alarm, I could hear footsteps in the stairwell below us. It wasn’t the normal kind. These were fast and rus

ROMANThe floor didn’t really move, but it felt like it did. My balance went weird for a second, like someone had yanked the ground out from under me. I took the photo from Ava’s hands before I even thought about it. My eyes kept running over the angle again and again. I checked the wall, the corner, and the dresser behind her. There was no mistake. Whoever took the picture had stood right inside the cabin's bedroom. Right next to the dresser. They’d been way too close and at ease. My skin crawled so hard it almost hurt.Ava looked pale, like she might throw up or fall over. “I never saw anyone,” she whispered. “I swear, Roman. I never heard anything at night. I never felt anything.”I remembered every night she had slept with us. Curled into me, or Axel, or Zade. Her warm breath on someone’s chest. Her hand tangled with mine in her sleep. Her face relaxed. She’d been safe. Or at least we thought she had been safe.But now all I could picture was a shadow standing over her bed, watch
