All Chapters of The Triplet Alphas Are My Mates!: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

AVAThe power was still out as I kept looking through the window. The moon looked pale in the sky, but it shone enough light to see the yard of the pack house spread out below. The shadow figure slipped across the yard, heading toward the storage shed at the far edge of the property. Whoever it was moved fast, with their coat pulled high, and their head bent. I was already reaching for my boots when I spotted Roman walking after them, barefoot in the snow like he didn’t even feel the cold.My chest tightened. I grabbed a flashlight and shoved it into my pocket. Evie was humming in my mind. She wasn’t warning me exactly, but she was definitely restless. The worry and hunger in me twisted together until I couldn’t stand it for another second.The cold hit my face immediately I stepped outside. Snow crunched under my boots, and it was the only sound apart from the faint wind. I followed the trail toward the shed, keeping my light off. Roman’s outline was just ahead, his shoulders tense

AVAThe picture felt like a violation. I couldn’t think of a better word for it. Someone had been close enough to catch me on film, and even close enough to know where the dagger rested by my side. The thought made my skin feel too tight, like I didn’t fit in my own body anymore. I placed the picture back into the scrap of fabric and shoved both under my bed, but that didn’t stop the unease from eating at me.That night, I slept with the dagger under my pillow again. When I woke up, the first thing I saw were three quiet faces leaning over me. Roman, Zade, and Axel were so still they looked like statues, as they watched me sleep like they thought I might vanish during the night. For a second, I almost laughed because it was creepy. Then I realized they were just worried.The entire day was spent making plans instead of fighting. There were no drills in the gym or training yard, no sparring, and no fights either. The pack was focused on ritual now, not war. It felt strange to say th

AVAAlpha Coleman didn’t look worried at all. He stood there like he had every right to be in the middle of our circle, like this was his stage and we were just the audience. His voice came out smooth, soft, and almost too calm.“I came to offer bargains, not war,” he said.Every muscle in me was tensed up. His words were calm, but his eyes… those gave him away. They were sharp, hungry, and focused on me more than anyone else.He lifted his chin slightly, not in pride but like he was delivering a story he had rehearsed way too many times. “The King’s interest in Kingsblood is more political than personal. There’s no need for spilling blood here, and absolutely no need for war either. What the King wants is order and control. He wishes to settle it through marriage and alliances.”The word “marriage” made my fingers go stiff around the ribbon he had handed me earlier. I didn’t want to hold it, but I couldn’t let it go either.“And to show my sincerity…” He paused. Then, slowly, he lowe

ROMANThe argument didn’t happen in the dining hall or even the corridor close to it. It didn’t happen where anyone could hear us because we saved it for the small room off the side of the house.The door was shut, and the walls were thick enough to keep our voices inside.I didn’t waste any time speaking my mind.“You think I’m going to sit back and let this play out like it’s nothing?” I snapped. My voice came out louder than I meant, but I didn’t care. “Blake’s father shows up, feeds her sweet words, hands her some cursed ribbon, and suddenly we’re supposed to act like it’s all just really nothing? Like it doesn’t matter?”Axel lifted his hands, calm as always. “Roman—”“No,” I cut him off, already pacing the room. My chest burned. “Don’t ‘Roman’ me. You saw her. You saw how she froze up when he looked at her. You saw her shaking afterwards. And you saw Zade pinning her to that wall like—”I cut myself off. My fists were clenched at my sides. I didn’t want to imagine it again, but

AVAI considered the choices in my mind, but I had no time to make it. Zade moved first, and before I knew it, he’d closed the little space between us so fast my back hit the wall with a quiet thud. His hand rose slowly, like he didn’t want to spook me. Then he brushed the pad of his thumb across my bottom lip, his touch light as a feather, but it sent sparks racing down my skin and into my chest.“You can’t hide from us,” he murmured. When his eyes burned into mine, his gaze was softer than I expected, but it was still sharp enough to pin me where I stood.Before I could find words, he leaned in and kissed me.It was slow and deep. His mouth claimed mine in a way that wasn’t hurried. It felt like he wanted to savor every second of it. My knees wobbled. My fingers clawed at the wall behind me, trying to hold on to something solid while the world shook under my feet. The bond between us hummed like it had just come alive for the first time.I was still reeling from Zade’s sweet kiss w
