Mated to the Alpha Triplets

Chapter 10: Me

Ottilie POV

Luckily I made it to class on time, sliding into a seat right at the back. My best and only friend Lily was in one of the front seats where we usually sat and waved furiously at me, eyes wide as she took in my makeover. She mouthed something unintelligible at me and I nodded, assuming she wanted us to chat after class. As the teacher started, my eyes glazed over and I slumped in my seat a bit, trying to seem as inconspicuous as possible. EVERYONE was looking at me so clearly news about my run in with Tanya had spread. The door flew open and Noah stepped in followed by Harry. A delicious smell of eucalyptus and pinecones wafted towards me as Noah took a seat on the left-hand side. I turned to my right, desperately trying to ignore him, only to see Harry taking the seat on the other side of me, his scent of strawberries and freshly cut grass hitting me square on. I expected Harry to look p****d off, but he ignored me, staring straight ahead impassively as the teacher, aware that he couldn't reprimand two Alphas for tardiness, carried on.

Mates, purred Ariana, see I told you they wouldn't be able to stay away from you.

Harry sniffed the air and tensed, staring at me before his face twisted into an ugly smile,

"So you had my brother," he whispered softly, reaching over and running a hand up my thigh. "Maybe you are just an Omega slut looking for a leg up the social ladder."

I froze and in my head Ariana whined, clearly hurt by his choice of words.

"Get f****d," I whispered, brushing his hand away and turning towards Noah, definitely the lesser of the two evils.

Class went by in a blur, I could feel Harry's eyes burning a hole in me and Noah watching me like a hawk, as if I was about to erupt again.

When the bell rang I raced outside towards the bathroom, Lily following me.

"OTTILIE." She bellowed as the door slammed behind her, "Where the f**k have you been? Why did you punch Tanya, are you bloody mad? Also, what are you wearing? You look hot as f**k but where did you get the clothes from."

I turned and hugged her tight, tears gathering in my eyes. "It's been a really weird week Lily," I sniffed. "I missed you."

She looked at me strangely, "Tills, did you get your wolf." Her eyes glowed yellow and she leant forward to sniff me, "You did, I can smell her, this is SO exciting, our wolves can run together!"

I stepped back, "Come on, let me fill you in."

Forty minutes and a lot of "Oh my goddess'" later, Lily was staring at me open-mouthed.

"So hang on, let me get this right. You think the triplets might be your fated mates? All three of them? My goddess." She breathed, "You lucky thing."

"Hardly," I snorted, "I hate them," I said firmly. Lily looked at me knowingly, she knew how close I'd been to the boys, she was my only other friend growing up. When my parents had abandoned me she'd stuck by my side. An orphan herself, she knew what it was like to be looked down on. Orphans in our pack were supposed to be treated humanely, but they were all Omega's and ranked wolves like Tanya loved to make them feel inferior.

"Sure, well maybe don't write them off just yet? Also, next time you decide to go AWOL can you at least let me know? I know you don't have a phone but carrier pigeon maybe? Or get one of those gorgeous boys to climb through my window late at night? She smiled dreamily.

"Actually," I pulled out a sleek silver phone that Noah had slipped me earlier in the car, "you can put your number in this."

She shrieked and grabbed it from me. "Ohmygod, they gave you a phone." She started tapping away before handing it back to me. "We can literally speak all the time now."

The bell rang again, startling us. We'd already missed a full lesson and the last thing I needed was more trouble.

"Come on," I said, pulling Lily to her feet. "We'd better get to class."

The rest of the day passed without any incidents, thank goddess. Tanya had obviously left to get her nose fixed and her minions gave me a wide berth as well. I didn't even bump into the triplets, veering off in different directions the second I picked up their scent. I left school early, hoping to miss them entirely but Jamie was waiting for me, leaning against his car, his long legs stretched out lazily in front of him.

"I was going to walk," I said, attempting to stride past him.

He stepped in front of me, "Ottilie, I know you hate me but can you please just get in the car, I'll follow you either way at least this way, we get home at a reasonable time."

"Fine," I muttered, allowing him to guide me to the passenger seat of his Range Rover.

Ariana purred in my mind as he touched my arm, sparks shooting through my body.

Please calm it down Ariana, I begged, I can’t cope with this right now. She nodded and retreated to the back of my mind, leaving me with my thoughts.

Noah POV

By the time I got back from school, Ottilie had moved out of my room and into the one we’d arranged for her down the hall from the three of us, Jamie must have shown her to it after he'd driven her home. My room felt empty without her in it, my bed looked cold. Her scent lingered which was something, but I hadn’t seen her since second period and every part of me craved her.

Before I knew what I was doing I was knocking on her door, holding my breath as I waited for her to answer. The door swung open and my heart literally skipped a beat. Ottilie had let her hair out of its bun, her dark curls falling in waves down her back and was wearing a baggy jumper that I recognised but nothing else, the hem stopping about four inches above her knees, exposing her slender thighs.

“What?” She scowled at me, trying unsuccessfully to pull the hem further down.

“I just wanted to check you were ok." I said, fighting to keep eye contact with her. We stood in silence for a while until she sighed and opened the door a little wider.

“Come in then.” She padded softly back towards the soft dark green velvet sofa she’d obviously been lounging on. I followed her, closing the door behind me and took the seat next to her, trying not to notice that her jumper had ridden up even further.

“Is that mine?” I said, gesturing towards it.

She blushed and nodded, “I’m sorry, you can have it back, I just don’t really have much else and climbing the stairs would mean going passed your parents floor and….” She stopped suddenly, unwilling to finish.

“It’s ok,” I said smiling, “it’s kind of hot you wearing my clothes and anyway, I probably should have said, we had one of the maids go shopping for you.” I stood up and walked over to the built in wardrobes on the other wide of the room. “Here, they’re all yours.”

She came towards me and opened the doors, mouth wide open as she flipped through the rows of clothing in front of her.

“I hope it’s ok, if there’s anything missing just let one of us know and we’ll get it for you.”

She turned to me and as I half suspected looked furious.

“I don’t get it Noah,” she said, “You all ignored me for 6 years and now you want to be my friend? More than my friend actually, at some point over the last couple of days each one of you has tried to f**k me. And what the hell is this?” She turned gestured towards the wardrobe. “Buy the poor omega slave a new wardrobe and she’ll fall to her knees, maybe she’ll suck us off too.” She scowled, eyes filling with tears that she angrily tried to brush away.

“Ottilie,” I said, closing the gap between us. “That’s not what this is, I promise. Even if you never touch us again, even if we’re destined to be friends only, we’ll take that. Even Harry will come around.” It was a huge lie, Jamie and I were 99% sure she was our mate but I didn’t want to scare her off yet, especially if she hadn’t yet felt the mate bond. “We just want to make up for all the s**t you’ve gone through. Maybe we’re not going about it in the right way but we’re trying, please let us try Ottilie.” I wiped the tears away from her cheeks with my thumbs and pulled her close to me as she sobbed into my chest, out of relief or anger, I just couldn’t tell at this point.

She melted into my arms and I picked her up moving over to the bed, lying her down and still cradling her as she cried, her tears soaking through my shirt. Her sobs slowly subsided as she fell asleep in my arms and I kissed the top of her head, vowing to keep her safe for always.

Tanya POV

The filthy omega in front of me cried out as I slapped her across the face for not clearing the dishes from my room. Yes I’d been back from school earlier than usual but it didn’t do to let the help forget their place. When I became Luna of this pack every unranked member would fear me, they’d certainly have a lot less freedom than they currently did.

There did however seem to be a little kink in my plan. Ottilie. My eyes blazed with fury as I remembered the incident at school, she’d made me look like a f*****g i***t. I slapped the omega again, the force of it throwing her against the wall.

“GET OUT,” I roared as she scrambled to her feet and ran out of the door in pure fear.

I threw my fist into the door that slammed behind her, the wood splintering and cutting my hand. I didn’t feel pain though, only revenge. Ottilie had been a thorn in my side my entire life, always the more beautiful, most outgoing, clever girl. No wonder the triplets had always been drawn to her. She was perfect. My gaze hardened and I cackled, not for long though. I was going to destroy her if it was the last thing I did.
