Alpha Triplet's for a Fox

Chapter 6

{Victoria}

It has been a week since Bella has left for Britain and since I beat the hell out of my mates. I said I was going to fight for them and don't get me wrong I am going to but they expected me to apologize to them. The audacity! They were the ones who came into my apartment, broke my door and carried me and my sister like rag dolls. 

Fine. If they were hell-bent on acting like five-year-olds with temper tantrums then I would plainly ignore them until they apologize to me. With that, I retracted my scent so that they couldn't find comfort within it. Mom told me she did it to dad a million times. He'd always end up with bags under his eyes and a dark gloomy face. That was the same case for my beloved mates.

Day 8:

Professor Valderick's class was very much tense. The balance between one happy Alpha and an unhappy Alpha was pretty much known. I swear Alec had this dark gloomy aura around him. 

"Victoria?" Professor called out to me.

"Yes?"

"What is ethics?" Seriously? That was his question? It must be because he thought I wasn't paying attention. 

"Professor, I know the answer," The omega called out. Oh, that's right. She switched all her classes so they coordinate perfectly with mine. She wanted to make sure I didn't get too ahead of the game and beat her. I had at least one class with each of my Alphas. 

"Business ethics is a form of applied ethics or professional ethics, that examines ethical principles and moral or ethical problems that can arise in a business environment. It applies to all aspects of business conduct and is relevant to the conduct of individuals and entire organizations." I put it out plain and simple. Beating Ashlyn. 

She has been stressed every time she sees me near any of the three Alphas. Clearly paranoid that I was winning them over quickly. "Well, done." Valderick applauded, causing me to raise an eyebrow. How enthusiastic. 

Vanessa, my first official friend, turning into a best friend nudged me. "What was that all about?"

I shrugged. "I don't know. He's getting crazier each day."

"He's...like a pedophile." Alec tensed beside me, turning his serious gaze to the professor.

"I'll beat his ass if he tries anything," I say with a wink and she stifles a laugh. "You seem to forget my awesome ass-kicking skills."

She leans in to whisper, "Yeah, you beat the ass out of that top omega in every sport. That's how you made it into all the teams. She used to go undefeated but now...you're here and well her fame is dying down."

"Her flame is being put down but mine has just been ignited. Right, Alec?" 

Alec gulps and turns to face me. This is the first time I have spoken to him since that night and I'm pretty sure that if he looked me in the eye his resolve would be broken. "Yes, Victoria?"

He avoided my eyes. "Look at me." I noticed Ashlyn's intense stare on us. 

Eventually, he groaned and looked at me in the eye. "Sorry," he mumbled.

"Sorry, who?"

"Sorry, Victoria."

Vanessa had turned back to her work. Score for Victoria! "That's Vicky for you now."

I stood up and climbed into his lap, the desk was digging in lightly to my side. I released my scent and he relaxed instantly. He sighed, gripping my waist and burying his face in the crook of my neck. Ashlyn gripped her desk so hard that her knuckles turned white.

"I didn't realize you were so into groping now," I teased. His face flushed and he turned away to hide it.

"I- no, that's not what....Well, I was b-but.." he stammered to find the right words and I giggled at his cuteness. 

"It's okay, but we should really pay attention to the lesson."

My next class was economics and to make Ace apologize was a tad bit difficult. Ashlyn had beaten me to my usual seat right next to him. I merely shrugged and sat in the next available seat, which happened to be next to a flirty Ryan.

"Aw, princess, come to get more of me?" Ryan smirked. Ace did not take it too well because his low growling was heard.

"Don't call me that"

"What about, honey?"

"No."

"Babe?"

"RYAN!"

"Princess, I'd rather you scream my name when we're alone" He touched my thigh and that was all it took for Ace to bolt straight up and throw Ryan away. Well, throw him against a wall.

"Don't you dare touch her ever again!" He yelled, much to Ryan's amusement.

"She preens under my grooming," he drawls, that's when Ace throws in the first punch. A sickening crack is heard and Ryan's nose begins to bleed. Ace broke his nose.

"She only preens under the grooming of her Alpha!" He growls and throws his fists on every inch of his face. Ryans' eyes betray him with a hint of fear as Ace continues to beat him. 

"Ace, stop it! You'll kill him!" I pleaded.

His nostrils flare as he faces me, gripping Ryan's neck. "Why are you defending him?!"

A petite body pushes past me, Ashlyn. She latches on to Ace's arm, trying to stop him from punching Ryan to death. "Ace, you have to stop!"

He merely shrugs her out of the way. I step up to the task, placing a hand on his chest. His heart is beating rapidly against my small hand. His breathing steadies in shallow breaths and his eyes return to their normal color. 

Ryan falls to the floor in a crumbling heap. Ace grabs my wrist and pulls me out of the classroom. My wrist begins to throb against his powerful grip. "Ace, stop! You're hurting me!"

He releases me from his grip but shoves me onto a hallway couch roughly. "What? Don't want me to touch you? Missing the way that...that i***t touches you?"

My anger boils inside me, threatening to release itself. "I don't enjoy the touch of perverts. I am no omega."

"But you let him call you names that only I should call you." He moves closer, breath fanning my neck.

"Then apologize and I'm all yours," I say back. My fingers graze on his jawline as he leans down on me carefully. Caging me in his arms. Are chests slide on each other, creating delicious friction.

"You know I can't do that. I'm an Alpha." He huskily says.

"Why can't you? Alec did," I breathe, my lips pressing against his neck. A shiver racks through his body. His eyes filled with lust kept flickering into darker colors. His wolf threatening to break out. I, on the other hand, have a fox and wolf threatening to break out.

"You've probably done something to make him apologize." He places a kiss on my nose. I realized then that he wasn't looking at me directly in the eye.

"All I did," I leaned in wrapping an arm around his neck. "Was have him look me in the eye."

I placed a hand on his jaw and delicately turned it my way so he would look me in the eye. When he did so he stared at me intently, his eyes betraying him. "I'm sorry."

"Are my eyes that horrifying?" I ask, feeling self-conscious. He hesitated, that's all the answer I needed. I shoved him off me and made a beeline down the hallway but he grabbed my wrist, forcing me to stop. "What?!"

I struggled against him. I didn't want to use my abilities and hurt him again. "Your reaction has said enough."

"NO," he replied firmly, causing me to stop. "Your eyes are gorgeous and twinkle like jewels. They pierce through me like ice shards and hypnotize me. I give in easily because of you."

I'm at a loss of words when he lets go of me. I never knew my eyes could hypnotize anybody. I was already blushing fiercely and harshly told myself to stop. I hugged him tightly like a constricting boa. "Promise you'll never leave me?"

His breath caught in his throat momentarily. "I promise."

***

By the fourth period, I was exhausted. Alec and Ace had apologized to me but Asher hadn't. I know that he would be the toughest nut to crack. Considering his arrogant personality.

Ashlyn hadn't seemed to arrive in the classroom, in fact, no one did. There was just Asher...and me. Great. Wonderful.

"Hey, Asher." I smiled at him. He grunted in reply shifting in his seat. I placed myself in the seat right in front of him. I moved my hair to the side, exposing my neck. I always did this, I like the feel of cool air on my neck. Soon though, students began to pile in. Ashlyn sat next to Asher and Lucas sat next to me. I befriended him during lunchtime when I spilled orange juice on him.

"Okay, today we'll work in pairs of two in a simulation. The simulation is required by the university for everyone to take so there are no excuses."

"What is it about?" Lucas calls out.

"It's about having children or pups. That's why there shall be males and females as pairs. You'll fall in love and live your life with your pair. Understood?"

We all nodded but I froze at the mention of pups. I touched my stomach fondly, thinking about how it would be to have a pup. "Feeling motherly?" Lucas's teasing tugged me out of my thoughts.

I flushed and slapped his arm playfully. But I felt Asher's heated gaze on me. "Where is the helmet we have to wear?"

"Right here. Locked and loaded." He handed me a pink helmet and he wore the blue helmet. "Identifies gender in the simulation. Can't have you as the baby daddy."

He winked and I laughed. What a tease. "Asher, let's work together like all the other times. We should see if we end up with Brett again," I heard Ashlyn say to Asher. I stiffened. Of course, everyone had done this simulation in the past years and by the looks of it, Asher and Ashlyn were always partners and ended up with the same child.

I put the helmet on and the laptop in front of us displayed a 'begin' button. I pressed begin and my goggles displayed a different scene. "Lucas?"

"I'm here!" Lucas walked up to me and tapped my shoulder. "Click the button in your right hand."

"What b- Oh, oka." I pressed the green button and the scene was at a restaurant. A pop-up box appeared saying, 'You've met a waiter at a restaurant and are having your first date with him!'

Then, Lucas was in front of me and we were in a fancy restaurant. "I didn't take you for a waiter," I laugh.

He huffs. "That's no way to talk to your true love."

"You wish."

Another box appears saying, 'Congrats! He proposed!'

The scene changed and we're at the altar. "I don't remember you proposing to me?"

"Simulation goes fast and besides the night after was filled with pleasure," he sighed and I punched him softly. "That's no way to treat your groom!"

"You may kiss the bride!" The priest says.

"Pucker up, Vicky," Lucas says, making fish lips.

"In your dreams, lover boy!"

The scene changes and says 'A steamy night has passed and you're pregnant! Tell Lucas!'

Then I'm in a room with Lucas. I grin at him. "Honey, we're pregnant and you're the baby daddy!" I hear an enormous growl but it wasn't from the simulation. Must be Asher.

Lucas mocks excitement. "How did that happen? I thought our protection was enough!" Again another large growl was heard.

I rolled my eyes and then another box appears saying '9 months later'. I peer down and my stomach is as big as two watermelons. "Lucas! I look like I blew up!" I whined.

"You look stunning dear!" He replies smoothly. But then I feel excruciating pain. 

"Is the simulation supposed to imitate the pain of labor on the females here?" Lucas nods. "Then prepare yourself, because these children are coming into the world!"

A bright white light appears and a new box appears. 'Congrats! You had baby twin girls! Name them'

"Lucas, we had twins!" I jump up and down and the scene changes into a hospital. "We need to name them!"

"How about.....Rebecca and Rose!" I nod in agreement and then everything turns black.

I take off my helmet and goggles and my vision is blurry. I squint against bright light. But then I hear faint cries and immediately perk up. I find a horrified Lucas with two real twin baby girls in his arms.

I gasp and yell, "Don't tell me I actually gave birth!"

The professor calms us down and says, "No. An organization that fosters orphaned babies agreed to allow our students to foster them based on how many children they had in the simulation."

I whirl around and find Asher with a baby boy in his arms. Must be Brett. But Asher was sending death glares at Lucas. 

"The supplies are already right next to you." The professor says. "Take care of them. They are living and breathing human beings! This will prepare all of you for parenthood!"

I watch as Lucas places Rebecca and Rose in a stroller. "They are actually real human babies?!"

I pat Lucas on the back. "You did a good job creating them. Now you have to care for them"

"We'll have to do a sleepover for two weeks! And attend class with them!"

"I'll sleepover at you dorm," I offer. 

"No." Came Asher's intimidating growl. "You and your daughters will come with me to my house and I will take care of them with you."

"But what about Brett?" Ashlyn said, her voice breaking.

"Lucas and you will partner up but I'm going to take care of my mate and the babies!" That was it, I had no choice but to agree with him. Great, partnering up with my mate to take care of real babies. Could anything possibly go wrong?

I curse the simulation and the organization that offered the babies.
