The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Two Years Later

TWO YEARS LATER

​The sharp ringing of the servant’s bell jolted me awake, snapping me back to reality.

5:00 a.m.

"Shit!" I cursed, leaping out of bed. "Not again!"

​I darted into the bathroom, taking the quickest shower I could manage. The cold water did little to calm my frazzled nerves. I pulled on my gray servant’s uniform, ignoring the mirror entirely. There was no need to check my reflection; the girl who used to smile back at me died two years ago.

​Today wasn’t just any day. Today, the pack house was vibrating with a nervous, electric energy. The triplets—Liam, Leon, and Leo—were returning from the Alpha Academy. They had been gone for a full year, sent away shortly after the death of our Luna. I hadn’t seen them in a year, and I wondered if they still hated me as much as they had before leaving.

​A loud voice echoed down the servants’ hallway. "Everyone outside! Line up!"

​I quickly stepped out of my room and followed the other servants. The entire staff gathered in front of the grand mansion entrance. Maids stood in neat rows, guards lined the driveway, and even the cooks had come out from the kitchen. The air buzzed with excitement and tension.

​"They’ve changed a lot after the Academy," one maid whispered.

"I heard they’re stronger than most Alphas already," another replied.

​I stayed silent. My heart was beating too fast. Soon, the distant sound of engines filled the air. Everyone straightened immediately. A long black car rolled through the massive iron gates and slowly drove up the stone driveway toward the mansion. The vehicle came to a smooth stop in front of the grand stairs.

​For a moment, everything went silent. Then the car doors opened. Three tall figures stepped out.

​The triplets.

​They looked identical at first glance—same tall height, same broad shoulders, and the same dark black hair that brushed their foreheads. But if you looked closely, there were differences. Liam’s eyes were a sharp emerald green. Leo’s were a deep sea blue. And Leon’s were warm brown, darker than the others. Those eyes were the only way to tell them apart.

​They had grown taller, stronger, and more intimidating than the boys I remembered. The Alpha Academy had turned them into powerful warriors. Footsteps approached from the mansion doors: Alpha Lennox, Alpha Levi, and Alpha Louis. Their fathers.
