Caught by the Triplet Alphas

Chapter Eight

HOLLY

Fuck. f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k.

Holly stared in horror at the mess of wine and berries on the floor, seeping away from her like the blood in her face.

Fuck. s**t. Hell.

“YOU WOLFLESS PIECE OF s**t. LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE!”

She looked up and met the eyes of her furious Alpha. He was half out of his chair and spitting with anger. She began to stutter an apology, hoping he was just angry about the mess. That he didn't notice what exactly was in the jug.

She wasn't that lucky.

A gasp sounded behind her and her shoulders tightened up to her ears. Don't say it don't say it don't-

“Those berries are mistletoe!”

Goddess dammit. Holly glanced over her shoulder at the female beta who'd announced to the whole room her plan. It was Veronica. Of f*****g course it was.

Veronica was always trying to stir s**t. She loved to make the omegas’ lives hell, most of all Holly.

“She tried to kill the King!” Veronica screeched, like she just had to make sure that everyone in the room made the connection. b***h.

“No! I didn't know, I-”

SMACK

Her head snapped back from the Alpha's strike, pain blooming on her cheekbone which would surely bruise.

“We give you our hospitality, our protection, and this is how you repay us? An attempt on our illustrious King?” he growled. In Holly's opinion that was laying it on a little too thick. She certainly had never felt protected in this pack. And illustrious? Definitely not.

Alpha Roy turned to the King and Princes who were all watching avidly. The King's eyes were glassy and his cheeks flushed. He was definitely on his way to being in a drunken stupor. She got the feeling he didn't even understand what was going on right now. But the princes…

All three stared at her wide eyed and alert. Condemnation graced all of their handsome faces. And one of those faces… she'd just been sucking tongue with.

She couldn't believe it. She kissed a prince. A prince. She was going to be sick. And worst of all the prince would know without a doubt that she planned to kill them, that she knew the danger of mistletoe, that-

“Well, surely she didn't know it was dangerous. This must be an accident,” the golden prince said. Her eyes bugged out of her head and she stared at him with the same expression his two brothers cast towards him.

Alpha Roy scoffed. Actually scoffed at the prince. “This omega has been nothing but trouble from the day we took her in your highness,”

Oh the royals did not like that. No one scoffs at a prince. Even the King looked angry now. Roy seemed to realize his mistake but too late.

“Your highness, I-”

“It seems to me,” the golden prince snapped, silencing the now cowering alpha, “that it is an alpha's responsibility to make sure their omegas are not getting up to trouble. How did this one even have a chance to put the berries into the wine? Was no one watching her?”

Holly held her breath. This was insane. If the prince kept going on like this…. Like he was almost.. trying to help her..

Roy started sputtering, his face turned red and spittle flew from his mouth to land on her cheek. Ew. She wiped it off quickly and tried not to pull any egregious faces. She was in enough trouble already.

“Your highness, I apologize. You're right of course, she is my responsibility. Guards, seize her! We will execute her at dawn.”

Well, so much for that. Holly turned to run but before she got more than a step the Alphas Guards were upon her. One of them struck her with the hilt of his sword and everything went black.
