Her Triplet Alphas by Joanna J

Chapter 26: Merry Christmas Chasity Felix 

There were no words to sufficiently describe how guilty I felt. I felt like the scum of the earth, the lowest of the low. Chasity was so sweet and special and f*****g gorgeous. She deserved so much better. She had always deserved so much better Now that Calix had revealed the reason for her outburst, I could not get the memory out of my head. I could scarcely believe I had acted like that. I followed Alex as he headed towards Chasity’s room We had some wooing to do

Felix 

“Are you even listening to us.* / asked, grabbing Chasity’s hand 

I had not been prepared for the strange calm that fell over me when our skin touched. That was weird. It was hard to remain angry around her. 

My brothers and I had just finished opening our gifts and breakfast still wasn’t ready. That was Chasity’s job! I heard a vicious snarl in my mind. My wolf made my head throb. I was shocked at the power he had over me though I had not officially shifted yet. 

“What’s the point of you being here if you’re not going to work off your debts?” Asked Mom. “It’s almost noon and no breakfast!” She said, rolling her eyes. 

She went into the kitchen to “make” breakfast herself. Mom’s idea of making breakfast was pouring dry cereal into a bowl and giving us all a glass of instant hot chocolate mix. 

My wolf was driving me crazy. He was snapping and snarling within, furious at the whole household except Chasity. I wanted to piss him off. I was tired of his bullshit. Ever since he made his presence known/ had not had a moment of peace. He would get upset every time Chasity was upset and she was almost always upset. 

I pulled her to the front door. / walked her outside. She began to scream as she tried to yank her arm out of my grasp. What was her problem?/was not squeezing her or being rough or anything. I knew she was pretty delicate. She was much smaller than I was so I wasn’t pulling her with much force. 

“Ugh, I’m not going to do anything to you. I’m just putting you out of the house! If you’re not gonna earn your keep then maybe you’d rather be out here,” / snapped. 

I let go of her hand and marched back inside, shutting the door behind me. The guilt was a bit overwhelming. I ran upstairs and just lay down in the dark. My temples were throbbing. I told myself 

ine over and over again. I took my phone and set an alarm so I could check on her periodically. I could not just leave her out there all day but I wasn’t going to tell her that. 

Alex 

Felix had put Chasity out of the house. I felt my wolf panic. I was worried too. What if she ran away?/ went to the window and peeked out at her. She was hugging herself for warmth. She caught me looking at her so I quickly shut the window. I knocked on Felix’s door. 

“What?!” He yelled. “It’s Alex,” / said. He opened the door for me. He did not look so good. “What’s wrong?” asked 

He shrugged. I could tell he was lying. Even if it was not an outright lie, he was probably lying by omission. 

“You feeling guilty about Chasity?” I asked. He sighed. 

“I’ll go get her just now,” he said. “She’s tiny. Don’t leave her in the cold too long,” / said. “You think I’m an asshole, don’t you?”Asked Felix, his tone accusatory 

“No,” I grumbled. “How long are you gonna leave her out there?”/ asked, not sure how much longer/ could stomach. 

My wolf and I were both starting to freak out. “An hour.” Asked Felix. 

I looked at him like he was crazy.

I had hoped way too soon because she pulled away from Calix and put her palms up, giggling. She was done with our kisses. I felt like I was forgetting something. Chasity had a way of numbing my brain and I was sure she did the same to my brothers. It hit me. It was Christmas. I had forgotten about our parents waiting by the tree.

She hesitantly approached the light blue Range Rover as though it was a monster eating from the garbage. She touched the huge silver bow. Calix and Alex were standing behind me. I spotted Mom and Dad in the doorway. The vastly different reactions were almost comical. Calix was grinning like a Cheshire Cat, totally thrilled for Chasity. Alex was worried about her reaction like me, his eyebrows knitting together. Mom was quietly steaming, probably mentally calculating how much of the huge fortune we had inherited was being spent on Chasity. I had seen her peeking at Chasity’s gifts. She had had the nerve to ask Alex for the receipt for Chasity’s diamonds, claiming she was helping us with our bookkeeping. She did not know that Baby Boy Calix had gotten Chasity an expensive tropical vacay in the presidential suite of a fancy hotel. She was gonna flip the f**k out. Dad looked like he didn’t give a s teither way. I had overheard him telling Mom if we weren’t spending money on Chasity we would just spend it on some other girl anyway.
