The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 217

Raven’s POV

As I deboard the plane in South Pack territory, the Texas heat hits me in the face. The heat is so sweltering that it takes my breath away. Fanning myself with my hand, I try to cool myself as I walk down the steep stairs of the plane.

Leo is walking in front of me, and Oliver is walking behind me. They are both so close to me that I don’t feel like I can take a step without tripping over one of them. My fathers are waiting impatiently at the bottom of the stairs. All three of them are standing identically with their arms crossed over their chests.

“Any time now,” Dad yells out impatiently.

“Alphas!” A deep voice yells out as I reach the bottom of the stairs. I look up to see a tall, muscular man walking briskly toward my fathers.

The four men embrace one another as if they are long-lost friends. This must be Alpha Fernando of the South Pack. My father pulls back from the embrace and pulls me forward.

“This is my daughter, the Luna Queen,” my father says proudly. “Raven, this is Alpha Fernando.”

I look around, and all of my fathers are smiling at me. A broad grin spreads across my lips. I can feel their pride rolling off of them in waves. But Alpha Fernando does not seem to share their sentiment. The grin that was on his face fades quickly.

Holding out my hand, Alpha Fernando looks down at it in disgust. But knowing that everyone is watching, he takes my hand and shakes it weakly.

Alpha Fernando turns his attention back to my fathers. “I hear your son is doing an amazing job running the North pack in your absence.”

A growl rumbles in Leo’s chest. He doesn’t appreciate the fact I have been snubbed by the Alpha.

The growl catches Alpha Fernando’s attention, and he looks Leo up and down and scoffs. “Who is this?” Alpha Fernando grumbles.

“This is one of my mates,” I reply. “Alpha Leo of the Blue Moon Pack.”

“One of your mates?” Alpha Fernando snorts. “Are you saying that you have more than one?”

“Yes,” I swallow hard and gesture toward Oliver. “This is my other mate, Alpha Oliver of the Historical Pack.”

“Interesting,” Alpha Fernando says. “Both of your mates are from two of the new packs.”

“Why is that interesting?” I ask. My guard is immediately up. I suddenly get the feeling that I am not welcome here in the South Pack.

“It just is,” he smirks.

Desperate to alleviate the tension that is building around us. My dad claps his hands together loudly. “How about we get this pack tour started?”

“I was not expecting two extra guests,” Alpha Fernando says. “I only brought one car.”

My eyes widen in shock as I look at the single SUV sitting off to the edge of the plane. I know two people will have to stay behind, and I don’t want them to be my mates. I need them by my side.

“Surely you can mind link someone to bring another car,” Leo laughs.

“I am afraid that everyone is preparing for the arrival of the Luna Queen,” Alpha Fernando tries to sound cheerful, but I do not miss the sarcasm in his voice. Now, I am getting the distinct feeling that I am not welcome here in the South Pack.

“We can shift and follow the car,” Oliver says, trying to defuse the situation.

I spin and look at my two mates. They have irritated looks on their faces, but both seem to be in agreement.

“If you are sure…” my voice trails off. I don’t want to be without my mates for even a moment.

“Of course they are sure,” Alpha Fernando says with a sly smile.

Without another word to discuss the matter. Alpha Fernando and my fathers make their way to the SUV. I glance over my shoulder and see my mates stripping off their clothes right in front of the plane. I keep walking as I keep my eyes glued on my shirtless mates. Oliver is just about to strip off his pants when I bump into something hard.

I look forward, and my papa is giving me a knowing look. “There will be plenty of time for that when you are older, Little Bird,” he chuckles.

My face heats with blush, and I don’t dare look back over my shoulders until I hear the cracking of bones. Peeking back over my shoulder, I see that both of my mates have now shifted into their wolves. It isn’t hard to tell them apart.

“Interesting,” Alpha Fernando says. “Both of your mates are from two of the new packs.”

Leo’s Wolf is massive and muscular. He has silky black fur and piercing green eyes. Oliver’s Wolf is also huge, but he is less muscular. His fur is a deep rust color that I have never seen before. He stares at me with his brown eyes, and looks like a puppy begging for attention.

I want nothing more than to run to my mate’s wolves and throw my arms around them. That is when I realize I don’t want to ride without them.

“I will run with my mates,” I say quickly as I begin to walk my way back to them.

“Nonsense,” my father grabs me by the arm. “The Luna Queen does not run.”

“But my has been dying to shift again,” I cannot help but to whine. It is the truth. Rose has been begging me for a run for weeks now.

“Now is not the time,” Father says sternly, and I know the conversation is over. I am back to being treated like a child.

My anger bubbles to the surface, and I rip my arm out of my father’s grasp. “Perhaps you are right,” I say to my father. “But I wish to run with my mates.”

My father tries to pull me close, but my papa pulls him back by the shoulder. “You have to let her grow up at some point,” Papa tells him.

I walk to my mates and run my fingers through their soft fur. That’s when I hear it. Alpha Fernando’s admission. “It is a pity that her brother wasn’t the chosen one. Women can be so temperamental.”

Without a second thought, I shift into my golden wolf. The shift is painful, but I make sure not to cry out in pain like the first time. I cannot appear to be weak.

As I land on all four paws, I hear the gasps from everyone around me. ‘Why is everyone gasping?’ I ask Rose.

‘Because only two of them have seen you in your wolf form,’ Rose says proudly. ‘I am quite impressive.’

Rose spins around proudly and I see that Leo and Oliver have their heads bowed to me. Rose prances over to them and lick them both on the muzzle. ‘Let’s run,’ I tell them through the link.
