Alpha Triplet's for a Fox

Chapter 14

{Victoria}

I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it was because three Alphas were yelling at me to heal an omega or maybe it was because Arail Swain clutched my neck oh so tightly that I finally blew up in anger. That's it- everyone has their limit and I just reached mine. 

So maybe it was my fault that Ashlyn was now most likely up in heaven with the Moon Goddes but no one asked her to take a bullet for someone. Or maybe it was Arail's fault that he had lashed out so brutely at me that my neck was heavily bruised and my ribs were broken. But it definitely wasn't my fault that I summoned lightning that bounced off the walls repeatedly- it was the Alphas and their relentless yelling and crying over an omega. 

Arail ducked down repeatedly to dodge a few lightning bolts and his gruff composure betrayed him with a hint of fear. He recovered with a fake laugh, throwing his head back. "Did the Alpha's Daughter finally break? Did those Alphas choose an omega over you? What a surprise...."

I wished nothing but to scratching the life out of him, or worse, bludgeon him to death. He examined me one last time before letting out four Wolfsbane bullets. But, he didn't aim them at me, he aimed them as the wall. I raised an eyebrow in question but responded by lashing my lightning at the bullets, throwing them back at him.

Of course, he stepped out of the way to avoid being hit, but he tapped his chin before mumbling, "You'd make a perfect Luna....Just need to breed you and get heirs."

He angered me so much by saying those words that I charged at him. I'm not an object that you can just sell around. My anger blinded me that much that he found a weak point in my attack and grabbed my hair to yank me back. I yelped reluctantly as he pulled me up by my hair. "Tch. Tch. Three..."

With that, he slammed me against a wall and shot five bullets into my abdomen. I crumpled to the ground, hissing in pain. I stood back up but he was long gone. Coward.

Alec came running over to me. He didn't as much as paid a glance to my injuries before bombarding me with, "Victoria! Ashlyn is dying....You need to heal her," I squinted in anger at his figure, my vision was becoming a bit blurry.

My body feels heavy and weak but I refuse to lose another life. "Can't you see I have more important things to attend to?" I snap angrily. I would heal Ashlyn but if I didn't even have the energy to heal myself self then I can't. I need the energy to heal someone else.

"Victoria, stop being selfish for once and think about others! Ashlyn is dying..." he hissed.

My eyelids felt too droopy to even muster up an explanation. "That's too bad because I'm dying too," I smile and uncover my abdomen so that he could see my bullet wounds. 

Alec's eyes remained firm but his body was trembling. Asher let out a guttural sound, "Get your ass over here and heal her."

I smile wryly as my vision dims. I yawn slightly and clutched myself with my arms. "I'm not so sorry now that my ass is being carried over to death. Unfortunately, I'll be back. Down to three..."

My eyes close and my body tilts over to the left but I never once felt the cold hard ground. 

*******

"Move out of the way," Ace begrudgingly muttered as he gripped my shoulders and shoved me aside. I was sitting in the corner of the room with Dex as Ashlyn chattered happily with the triplets. My Triplets. 

I push the thought out of the way as I rolled my eyes when Asher said, "Ashlyn, don't ever take a bullet for me. My heart could not take it, it dropped when you were bleeding on the ground.

"At least she didn't die," I muttered and Dex looked at me warily. He was a bit off for a long time now. I have no idea why but he would never meet my gaze.

"At least she didn't act selfishly," Ace retorted and Ashlyn preened under her Alphas attention. I covered my mouth to keep myself from gagging. 

"I can't summon my powers when I'm weak, much less when I'm dieing if anything the three of you are being self-centered ignorant jerks," I reply coolly and tilt my head to the side to stare out the window. The snow was falling heavily- too heavily. 

"Why would you mark her Ace?" Ashlyn squeaked painfully. At this point, the wind outside whirled around and the snow continued to fall mercilessly. But....That only happens for a reason. No....It can't be.

"I-I'm sorry, I got caught up in the mate bond and my wolf came out," Ace reasoned but his voice became distant. Mother nature was mourning... Mourning for- for hopefully no my mother or Isabella.

The triplets still caught up in the conversation, glared at me in spite. My pupils narrowed into slits. I popped out my phone and began to pace around the room. I dialed Bella's number first. 

"Bella! Bella, where are you? Are you okay?!" I bombarded her instantly.

Her voice came in a whisper "I'm in Britain still. Did you see the snow?" 

"I know, I know. I saw it too, listen to me. Lock yourself in, use your powers if you have to but don't let anyone come near you. I'll call you back soon." I hung up and I met Dex's eyes. I tilted my head over to the window were the wind howled with snow his eyes widened.

Ashlyn, Alec, Ace, and Asher now looked at me with confused stares. I proceeded to dial mom's number. 

Nothing...No answer. "Fuck.." I growled and Dex placed his hands on my shoulders for comfort. I redialed, no answer. "Answer, goddamnit!"

My lip quivered as feared settled into my stomach. Please, please, don't let it be my mom. Let it be another elite fox- anyone but my mom. I dialed dad's number and thankfully, he picked up.

"Victoria?" My dad's voice sounded hoarse and breathless.

"Dad?" I whispered, "Please tell me that....that mom is okay.."

His breath hitched and that was all the answer I needed. I gripped my phone tightly. Please let mother nature be mourning the death of another elite fox's death. "Jenna is gone," my Dad choked back a sob but I stilled.

Jenna Adler. A powerful, strong, and famous Luna...dead. My mom- dead. My only best friend, dead. My knees quivered and I let go of my phone. I landed with a hard thud on the ground. My eyes were wide opened but inside I could not believe this was happening. 

With a shuddering breath, I looked over at the triplets who now looked worried. They showed no sign of offering comfort. Instead, I fell on my knees sobbing. The sobs racked through my body repeatedly until I felt two strong arms pull me into his chest. Dex looked down on me with a sad look. 

I gripped his shirt tightly until all my rage, sadness, and heartbreak were all poured out into my cries. My cries of mercy. Dex raised my chin up and his eyes looked even sadder. "There is one more thing." 

Ace spoke up "What's going on? Why is Victoria crying?"

Dex ignored him and said again, "You are engaged to the sons of the Alpha from the Windrunner pack."

"ENGAGED!" I scream at him and he flinches. "My mom- your Luna just died and now you're telling me that I'm engaged! What the actual f**k?!"

"You're father called just five minutes before you found out. He's unstable and plans on giving over pack duties to you but he doesn't want you to be with....those triplets," he muttered in disgust as he gave a pointed glance at the boys. Their dark eyes were literally bulging out of their skulls. "So...we are merging Nightingale and Windrunner. In exchange, you'll mate with the Alpha Triplets from that pack."

"More triplets?! I'm sick and tired of triplets! My mom just died and now I'm engaged to triplets!?" I screech angrily. 

"She can't be mated with other triplets but us," Ace growled threateningly which made Ashlyn whimper.

"Vicky, your dad is suffering even more than you and he needs this alliance for you and for the pack so that he may mourn Luna Jenna," Dex reasoned and my heart melted at the thought of my dad needing help. 

I needed to be strong, for Bella, for dad. Now I'm the Alpha-female, all the responsibility falls on me. I'll take the burden. "Okay. I accept. I'll mate with the triplets from the Windrunner Pack. I'm only doing it for my family- for my dad, Bella, and Liam. I'm the eldest offspring of Alpha Davis which means I'll take care of my pack. But we do have a problem."

Dex sighed sadly and rubbed his temple "What is it?"

"My mark" I pointed to my neck and saw Ace looking smug. Does he think that a mark will keep me from leading and protecting my pack? He is poorly mistaken. 

Dex turned serious. "I've been investigating and it can only disappear when you severe the bond between the things and you."

Ligh at the end of a dark tunnel. I can finally be liberated from this, this hell and mourn my mother. Ace's smug grin disappeared and the triplets looked deathly pale. Dex placed a hand on my shoulder, "Should you do it....It will cause tremendous pain for the four of you but then you won't feel any sparks or any bond afterward. You'll mean nothing to each other."

I smiled a true smile but my mother's death still hung sadly from the corner of my lips. "Perfect."

"Don't do this," Asher growled intimidatingly. I took a gulp of air. For the pack. 

"I, Victoria Davis-Adler, henceforth severe the bond between myself and the Alpha Triplet of the Bloodmoon pack. I, therefore, renounce forever my place as Luna of the Bloodmoon pack."

That was it. I had finally done it. But I felt sharp stinging on my neck where Ace had marked me and I clutched my abdomen painfully. The triplets clawed at their hearts but then the pain ceased.

I recomposed myself. "Now the chapter is over. I must leave to reunite with my pack. I wish you all the best that the Moon Goddess may bring you happiness. I'm turning a new page."
