The Triplet Alphas Abused Mate

Chapter four

Chapter four

Jasira Saunders POV

°°°°°

I pull Justin down behind the tree as I bring my hand to cover his frightened scream as the footsteps get louder.

My worst fear is coming true. Someone has caught us while we struggle to escape the pack borders, and I hear loud footsteps following us. At first, I wanted to run away. I was afraid to turn back and face the traitor in the dark, but..

I wasn't sure who it was. The night is still dark and Justin is refusing to take another step, as he pointed at the darkness that was terrifying him.

I could sense his fear and I hated doing this to him when I clearly know how much he hates the dark. But I had no choice.

I kept telling myself that this is to provide Justin a better future, even though my knees trembled I kept pushing myself that we have almost reached the pack borders. But I could see the wolves roaming around, they didn't look kind or nice.

They had a look of the hunters.

However a part of me is scared to death as all the consequences play in my head. I wondered what my father's initial reaction would be. Whether he will feel sad, angry or miss us now that we are gone. Would he even realize how he has treated us over the years?

And I imagine how relieved Karen would be when she finds out that we are gone, giving her a chance to play with her idea of a happy home without us.

Maybe she will miss us because we were her punching bag. She was cruel to us, mean and what not.

Just when I hear the footsteps fade, I try to look around to see if there was anyone out and had been following us like I had sensed. The minute I step out of the hiding, I meet the dark golden eyes in the shadow.

I go numb, my heart skips a beat. It's a wolf, the dark ferocious wolf which could take me down in a second.

“Please don't hurt us. I bring no harm.” My voice trembles as I take a step backwards.

“Oliver, stop.”

.

Oliver

The name strikes my mind as I snap back to see the same eyes, but it's a man..

He..

He.

“Don't mind, my brother. He hasn't been around a lady recently.” The man smiles.

And I swallow the fear

But as an answer to his words, the wolf behind me roars like it's a ravened beast that leaves my body completely shook, goosebumps all over my body.

Oliver.

Then the man talking in front of me must be.

“My name is Leonardo. You have two minutes to say the truth before you would be taken to the alpha's court, led by my brother Adrian.” He states, his voice coming out sharp and clear.

I notice the way his lips form into thin lines, and I shake my head as I hear my brother's cry.

His loud cries gained the attention of the traitors in front of me.

Leonardo takes a step forward, but Oliver glares at me as I look at the Crestwood Brothers.

“Please he is innocent.” I announce, unsure how to deal with the situation when death seems like it's waiting for the opportunity to strike.

But I look like a prey in between the two brothers, one in his beastly form and other in a human form yet looking like a monster in the dark.

“Innocent? Rowan, capture them. We have got two innocents hiding in the dark.” Leonardo announces, and that's when I realize we have been trapped.

The rivals have got us

******************************

As we are dragged to the alpha's court that is none other than my father's chamber, now turned into a courthouse for the rival pack, I can sense the eyes on us. I'm uncertain if they are curious to see us or pity that they see us.

“Shh, be quiet. Okay? Don't cry.” I whisper the words to my brother as I look around. The guards hold us separate, and I hate the distance between us and the feeling of not being able to protect my brother.

I don't recognize the faces inside, but I can tell that all of them are tensed to be around. I can sense it in the air..

“The alphas are here.”

I hear the loud announcement go in the air and the guards who had pinned us down take a step forward, bowing their heads down.

I stay still as I look at the rivals.

Leonardo walks with a smirk on his face, but it's Oliver who looks like he couldn't care less. If not for his dark golden eyes, I would have never guessed it was him.

But Adrian…

He walks with a woman next to him who looks so proud and in love to be standing next to him.

“That's Adrian Crestwood and his chosen mate, Kelsey.” A guard whispers to me, like he could sense my curiosity.

I am not sure what to feel or even think to realize that I have escaped my family's wrath to fall into the Rival's clutches.

“And if she realizes you are eyeing her man, this would be your last day.” He adds as he grabs the back of my head to push my head down, so I keep my eyes to the ground.

And I just wince at the touch, I feel angry yet helpless.

I lift my eyes slowly to see Adrian taking his seat, next to him his girlfriend or his mate.

Chosen mate?

Next, Leonardo settles down, but Oliver grabs the drink from the guard, and he gulps the whole bottle down. He looks wild and unspoken, he hasn't uttered a word or even tried to act like he is around people. He looks lost, like an actual person, and he lives in the mountains…

Not only that, but he has wild stories spoken about him.

“Let's bring our guests, Rowan.” Leonardo smiles as he looks at Beta, who immediately leaves and returns with..

My father, Steven, Karen and Felicia are all held captive by the Rivals.

“Welcome, welcome. You are now seeing the alphas of the Dark Moon pack, who have successfully destroyed yours.

I'm going to give you another chance, Steven. Tell me who the murder is.

With truth, we will let you go, alive. You can find shelter in other packs or beg for mercy in front of my brothers.

If not, you wouldn't be seeing the sun rise. If I have to burn you and your pack to prove that you can't mess with the Crestwood Brothers, I would.” Leonardo speaks out the cruelest threats with a smirk on his face.

And I blink my eyes, unsure.

I feel uneasy that I have the urge to hide myself, not wanting to be associated with my family anymore.

“First I'll start with your wife, then your biological daughter and son who thought they could hide themselves away from us

Next." Leonardo doesn't even complete his sentence..

I feel like a thief who has gotten caught in the act.

Karen snaps her neck to see me and Justin in the crowd.

I realize that they got us here because we are the alpha's children, and I clench my fist tight.

“They killed the girl.” Karen screams out the words as she points her finger at me.

My eyes go wide, and my jaw drops as everyone turns their attention to me and I push the guard's hold on me to get to Justin who is steps away from me with an urge to protect him.

But..

“Bring her here.” Leonardo calls out, his voice coming out loud.

And Rowan, the beta of the Dark moon pack, storms towards me as he grabs me by my shoulder.

“So you're telling me that your stepdaughter killed our pack's innocent young girl.” Leonardo mentions as he turns towards Karen.

And I'm dragged to the center of the room, as I'm held by Rowan

Leonardo Crestwood POV

°°°°°

I am the middle son, the eldest being Adrian, who leads our pack and the youngest being Oliver, who has found his peace in the mountains, living a life as a beast. We are triplets, but we couldn't be more different

But we stick together like a family who is on a mission to make our pack the strongest and most powerful one among the werewolves.

When our pack's young girl Gina, our beta Rowan's daughter, was abused and killed, we knew it was going to be war. But I didn't expect to see the traitor to be the young, beautiful girl with those dark eyes looking at you with that Spitfire look in her eyes.

“Yes, she killed the girl. This isn't the first time she has hurt people. You need to punish her and her brother.” Felicia, Steven's daughter, speaks out, adding to her mother's words. And I can sense the way she's trying to make the lie as she speaks.

“You are telling me that this young lady here raped and killed our Beta's daughter?” I repeat my words, knowing the two are lying.

I can sense the way their voices shakes, they hate the poor girl. But I believed the poor girl when she claimed to be innocent.

“Yes.”

I turn around to see Steven speaking out

Yes.

Her own father is standing in front of us betraying his daughter, interesting.

“No, they are all lying. My brother is a special child, he wouldn't hurt a fly.

He is innocent.

How could you?” Our captive held by Rowan screams out as she tries to break free from his clutch.

Her jaw clenched, tears rolling down her eyes.

“You're our father. Yet, you're standing there and trying to jeopardize our lives. What have we ever done to you or your new family? You tortured us for years.

And today you're saying that Justin and I killed an innocent girl?

You will go to hell for all the sins you have committed.” She yells, her voice cracks..

And I part my lips to cut the bullshit, but..

Adrian raises his hand in the air and everyone goes quiet.

“Are you speaking the truth, Sanders?” He questions as he takes a glance at the poor girl.

And her father nods.

“They are lying, Alpha. We are innocent. Give us a chance to prove that we are speaking the truth.”

The poor girl pleads, scared.

And I notice the way Adrian watches her, quietly.

I can tell that he's thinking..

'She's innocent' I speak out using our mind link to speak with my twin

'I know' Adrian speaks back

And I sit back, wanting for the show to unfold.

“Then prove it to me.” Adrian states as he turns towards Oliver, who is staring at the girl like he's waiting for her to speak.

“My brother here doesn't even know how to speak. He's innocent, he's mentally sick that he has no reasoning power. He's afraid of the dark.

He might be nineteen years old, same age as me, but he's like a son to me and I have not raised him to be a cruel person.

We are both humans, cursed to have been born in this pack. You need to investigate the truth.

You need to investigate why Felicia's boyfriend fled the scene before the war was called.” She speaks out, staring straight into Adrian's eyes.

She doesn't blink..

Not only that, but she's the alpha's daughter yet wolf-less?

I move to the edge of my seat. Intrigued.

“Rowan, take them back. Until we have the proof, every one would be held prisoner.” Adrian announces, still not breaking his gaze with the girl.

I can sense the way Kelsey is shifting in her seat to see her chosen mate, her boyfriend of years, looks at another female.

She's aware that Adrian is not her fated mate, and they don't have their souls linked.

'I want her' Oliver speaks through the mind link

And I growl..

Because I want her too..

But my eyes are fixed on my brother.

“What's your name?” He finally asks.

“Jasira and that's Justin, my brother.”

Jasira

'I like her' my wolf replies

And I smirk..

“You have five days to prove your innocence, Jasira. When the Time is up, you will be facing us again.” Adrian states as he gets on his step and walks out.

Kelsey follows him, but she doesn't miss taking a glance at Jasira

When they leave, the guards step forward to take Jasira and her brother..

Oliver takes a step forward, wanting to claim her.

But I shake my head..

'Five days, brother. Let her prove her innocence to Adrian.' i mind link with him.

And he glares at me for once before shifting into wolf form and leaves, hating the societal standards that he'd rather be a beast in the woods and mountains.
