Resisting the Alpha Triplets by Cara Anderson

“You can’t hide forever. Sooner or later you’re going to have to face what you feel for us.” We were standing so close I could feel his breath on my face and my heart raced at his words. “I don’t feel anything for you!” I snapped angrily, pulling my wrist from his grasp. “Give in to us, Mallory. The longer you resist, the harder it will be for you when the inevitable happens. And we are inevitable.” I shivered at his closeness and my argument died on my lips. Mallory Edwards was just an Omega, something the Black Moon Alpha triplets reminded her of everyday, never missing a chance to taunt or torment her.

At sixteen, Mallory leaves the pack broken and full of self-doubt. But when she returns two years later, a beautiful and accomplished young woman, the triplets start to see her in a whole new light. But is it too little, too late? To make matters worse, more secrets are revealed when Mallory shifts for the first time and learns nothing about her life is what she thought it was. Mallory’s journey to the truth is a dangerous one and she’ll need all the help she can get to survive it. Who will be standing by her side when the dust settles? Or will she be standing at all?

Ch. 1 The Party

Mallory’s POV

Sixteen years old

“Ugh! I look like hell!” I groaned to myself, taking in the dark circles under my eyes and the sallow look to my skin reflected in my bathroom mirror.

I’d been having the same nightmare since I was seven years old but somehow it still managed to rob me of sleep. Last night was no different, leading to my current predicament. What a great way to start the day, my sixteenth birthday.

“Let’s go birthday girl!” My mom called way too energetically from the living room. “Alpha and Luna are waiting for us to arrive so they can celebrate with you!”

“Five minutes, mom!” I hollered back.

I loved Alpha Carl and Luna Erika. They were like second parents to me, much to their triplet sons’ dismay. I wasn’t sure why they took such an interest in me, a lowly omega in the pack, but I wasn’t going to question it. They had done so much for me over the years, treating me as part of the family. If only the future Alpha triplets felt the same way.

Colt, Clay, Cary and I had developed a fragile truce over the years. Where they used to go out of their way to taunt and bully me relentlessly, now they basically ignored me. As long as I stayed out of their way, they stayed out of mine. Of course, that meant I spent the majority of my time dodging them. Because if I happened to cross their path, all bets were off.

The exception was always days like today, when their parents dared to do something nice for me and insisted they attend. They resented the hell out of me for insinuating myself into their family, and they made sure I knew it. Unfortunately, their chosen method of torment had changed, from outright bullying, to more subtle forms of torture less noticeable to prying eyes. Which meant this party was going to be miserable.
