The Alphas And The Orphan

Tuesday 17th January

Alexei POV

I have been lying on our bed for over an hour, hugging her pillow, goddess I miss her.

The bedroom door flies open and Ace leaps on top of me, pinning me down. I throw him off, but he steals Star’s pillow and holds it to him, inhaling her scent.

“This is ridiculous Lex. We can’t mope in here all night. It will drive us. Crazy, come on, I’ve linked the boys. We are going to town.”

He grabs my leg and drags me off the bed, I land with a thud, “d**k, I’ll kick your a*s..” jumping to my feet I tackle my brother to the ground, we throw each other around, until we finally pull apart lying on our back in the lounge out of breath.

The door to our suite opens and Kurtis strolls in and freezes when he sees us. “Oh, Star is gonna kill you when she gets home. Have you seen the state of this place?”

Looking around at the chaos we have caused with our play fight, I wince oops, “we had better tidy up before we go.” By the time the rest of the boys arrive, we have almost put the room to rights.

Aiden throws himself onto a couch. So what’s the plan? Boys’ night? That new club in Bovey could be good, or the Holloway twins are having a party.”

Oliver g****s, “not the twins please, isn’t it open Mike night in Bridstow? That always draws a crowd.” Jasper smirks at him, “which one did you f**k? Lia or Kia?” Olly gives him a withering steal, “both, I was drunk, now they’re after a repeat, they literally followed me around school yesterday. Hopefully, they will hook up with someone else at their party.”

Ace walks out of our bedroom buttoning a fresh shirt, “Bridstow, Star would not be happy if we got obliterated, so quiet night at the pub.”

Both Kurtis and Jonah nodded in agreement, Aiden shakes his head at us, “f**k you four are whipped, Bridstow it is, who’s turn is it to drive?”

Jonah volunteers and we all pile into the SUV. The bar is heaving when we get there and we see a group of warriors at the back and decide to join them. I head to the bar and get a round of beers.

The night goes on with one horrendous singer after another, trying to burst my eardrums. I am just about to round everyone up and head home when Kirtis mind links our group.

“Guys, that’s him. That’s the guy asking about Stars mum.” My head shoots in his direction and Kurtis makes his way towards a group of men. As he was pushing his way past the group, a f*****g giant grabbed him and lifted him off his feet.

I am beside him in a second. “PUT HIM DOWN,” I let my Alpha order out and our men surrounded the group. A tall man with sandy blond hair stands up and puts his hands up.

“I apologise, young Alpha. My Beta is not the friendliest of people. Put the kid down Doug, we are guests here.” His strong Scottish accent confirmed our suspicions. This is Stars, father.

I motion to my warriors to stand at ease, I hold my hand out to him, “Future Alpha Alexei Ravenwood, of the Ravens Perch pack, we didn’t know we had visitors in our territory, I am sure my Father would have told me of any visiting Alphas in the Area.”

The man smirks at me and shakes my hand. “Alpha Liam Danvers of the Rising Moon pack. You are the Alpha triplets, right? I met you when you were just a wee baby.”

His eyes turn to Ace standing beside me, “you are missing one. I see only the two of you here. To be honest with you, we are just passing through. My mate went missing in this area 18 years ago. We later found her body, so we visit to remember her.”

He gives me a small grin. “I stayed in your pack when we were searching for her. I didn’t leave the best impression back then. Losing your mate is something I would not wish on anyone.”

His eyes take in my mate’s mark on my neck. The tattoo has a picture of Saffron with Star’s name below. “Star Anderson, is she mate to all three of you? She must be an exceptional wolf, able to handle three of you must take a lot of stamina,”

His lewd sneer makes me want to rip his face off.

I hear Ace chuckle beside me. “She’s a hellion, a force to be reckoned with. She has the three of us wrapped around her little finger. You know how it is, one pout and we are putty in her hands.” To the outsider, Ace looks relaxed and fully at ease, but I can feel the beast stirring under the surface.NôvelDrama.Org content.

“I would love to meet her. There is nothing like the mate bond to put a stranglehold on your d**k.” He grins at us. “I should really reach out to your father. It has been a long time, after all.”

Ace links me. “We should invite him for dinner, get this over with, but Star looks just like her mother, so we need to plan.” I smile at Liam.

“Why don’t you and your men come to dinner on Friday? Star and our brother should be back by then. They are visiting family in Cornwall. They are supposed to be back this weekend, aren’t they, brother?”

Ace nods, but Liam gives me a strange look. “You didn’t go with them. Why would you not go with your mate?” I laugh at him as mockingly, “as you said she has three mates, she needs a break every now and again and we get to have one-on-one time with her, imagine having to keep three very different personalities happy, especially Alphas, with all our arrogance.”

His shoulders relax, and he gives me a wry smile. “Friday sounds good, shall we say 6pm?”

Nodding, we shake hands and make our excuses. Once we are in the car, I link my parents and tell them what’s going on. Liam Danvers may be about to cause trouble.
