The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 237

Kieran’s POV

I pace the floor in front of the door, waiting for Gabbie to arrive.

We need to get our stories straight before she speaks to my fathers. I can only hope she is willing to lie for me. In the past, I wouldn’t have second-guessed if she would, but I haven’t spoken to her since I turned eighteen. It has been months. I don’t even know if she has found her mate or not.

I find myself becoming jealous at the thought of Gabbie being with someone else. I had always planned for her to be my mate and my Luna, but the truth is she doesn’t belong to me. I shouldn’t be jealous.

A soft, hesitant knock on the door alerts me to Gabbie’s arrival. I open the door just enough to slide my body out. She looks as beautiful as ever, but there is something different about her. Her skin is sun-kissed, and a spray of dark freckles have shown up across her nose. Her chocolate brown hair is pulled up into a messy bun. Unlike the last time that we met, she looks happy.

Her eyes widen slightly as she looks at me, and she rests her hand awkwardly against her neck. I rip her hand away from her neck and see a mate mark.

“What the f**k is this?” I growl angrily.

“I found my mate,” Gabbie says with a bit of a huff. “Iheard that you also found yours.”

Gabbie tips my head from side to side, looking for a mark on my neck, and she frowns when she doesn’t find one.

“I haven’t been marked by my mate,” I grumble as I swat her hand away from my face.

“Why not?” Gabbie asks.

“Because she is an Omega,” I growl. “She is not worthy to be my Luna. You were meant to be my Luna.”

Gabbie’s eyes soften as she stares into mine. “I could never be your Luna,” she says quietly. “That is not the path the Moon Goddess has put before me.

“Who is your mate?” I ask.

“You don’t know him,” Gabbie responds quickly. “He is not a member of this pack.”

“How did you meet him then?” I cross my arms over my chess believing she is lying to me.

“I have been gone,” she says with tears glistening in her eyes. “But, of course, you didn’t notice. I came home just long enough to pack my things before I move to the Blue Moon Pack”

“When were you planning on telling me you are leaving?” I demand to know.

“Tonight, actually. I was already on my way over here to talk to you when Alpha Ace mind linked me to come to the pack house,” she tells me.

Then I remember the reason I came out here to meet her in the first place. “Gabbie,” I begin to plead with her. “I need you to do me a favor.”

Gabbie crosses her arms over her chest and taps her foot on the floor of the front porch. “Go on,” she says skeptically.

“I need you to tell my fathers I have been meeting with you in the evenings,” I tell her.

“What!?” Gabbie exclaims. “You want me to lie to one of my

Alpha’s? I cannot do that.”

“Ineed you to,” I beg. “My life depends on it.”

Gabbie’s eyes widen in shock. “What have you done?”

“That doesn’t matter,” I tell her.

“I need this one last favor.”

“I can’t,” she shakes her head as she backs away from me. “What if

Alpha Ace uses his Alpha command on me? You are asking me to risk my future for you. I won’t do it.”

“Does our past together mean nothing to you?” I try to guilt her.

“Our past together is just that, the past,” Gabbie says as she pushes past me to walk into the pack house.

Gabbie opens the door to the pack house, and I find Father and Papa standing just inside the entryway with their arms crossed over their chests. They have identical scowls on their faces. They had been listening to the whole conversation.

“Gabbie,” Father says to her sweetly. “Your loyalty to this pack is unwavering. You will be missed.”

“Thank you, Alpha,” she says as she bares her neck to my fathers in submission.

“You do not have to break your pack link if you do not wish,” Papa chimes in.

Gabbie’s face blushes deeply. “I do not think my mate would like that very much. He is the Beta of the Blue Moon Pack.”

“Beta Brent?” Father asks.

“Yes, Alpha,” Gabbie says formally.

“Their pack will be lucky to have you as their Beta Female,” Papa says.

“More than likely, she will be their Luna,” Father replies. “Leo cannot run a pack and sit at Raven’s side at the same time.”

Gabbie blushes deeply at the thought of being a Luna. I have always thought she was beautiful when she blushed, but this time, I just find – it annoying.

My mother comes into the entryway and hugs Gabbie warmly. “I

wish you all the luck,” she tells her. “You are free to leave.”

Gabbie doesn’t even look back as she walks out of the pack house.

It is like I never meant anything to her at all. My heart is broken. I denied my mate in hopes that Gabbie would be my Luna, and now I don’t have either of them.

I try to push past my fathers to walk up the stairs. I don t want to be around anyone right now, but my fathers refuse to move out of my way.

“Would you like to explain where you have been going if you haven’t been going to see Gabbie?” Papa says.

“You blatantly lied to us,” my mother says, choking back

tears.

“I have been meeting with the recusants,” I admit loudly. “They believe I am the rightful ruler. Not Raven.”

My mother gasps before she storms up the stairs. Her emotions have filled the pack house, and the feeling of disappointment is suffocating.

“You are not the rightful ruler,” my father growls. “You know that.”

“What if the birthmark on Raven’s shoulder means nothing? What if I am the rightful ruler?” I question.

“I think it is time we take you to see your sister,” Papa growls.

“Maybe if you see her wolf, you will understand your place in this world.”

“So what if she is golden,” I grumble. “That means nothing.”

“It means everything,” Father growls.

He grabs me by the back of the neck and leads me up the stairs. He kicks in my bedroom door and shoves me into the room. “Pack your f*****g bags,” Father growls at me. “I am not letting you out of my sight.”
