FATED TO THE LYCAN TRIPLETS

CHAPTER SIX

MORGHAN POV

After moving into the Guesthouse I have only had to endure a small amount of time with Mamma and Lycan King Malachai Lordes. I have taken to calling him ‘LK’ I don't know what else he expects me to call him he hasn’t even said anything so I figure while he hasn’t bucked at it so I will leave it at that for now.

Lexi and I have just returned from a shopping trip, and I am lucky, we have become good friends in such a short space of time and when she and I are together LK doesn’t have a kitten and doesn’t send a dozen guards with us. Usually, he will send one or two extra when Lexi and I go out.

When it’s just me there are no less than thirteen, yes thirteen extra guard/security and usually three vehicles at an absolute minimum!!!!

Needless to say, that I am very appreciative of Lexi’s friendship, helping me not lose my head at LK.

Lexi reckons when the Triplets get home, they will be able to come with us, that just makes me roll my eyes. Lexi thinks it’s funny how I don’t even know them yet I all but despise them.

As we take up residence on the sofa beanbags I chose for my lounge. Drinks, popcorn, chips, and lollies all in hand ready for settling in our movie marathon.

I noticed that LK had put some extra ‘security’ things in around the Guesthouse, I don't know where the hell he thinks I am going, the minute I move there are guards on me from all directions.

That just reminds me that I need to find a witch, I need to get something for Katie and I to help with obscuring our scent, also block our ability to identify our mate, just short term but I need to do it sooner rather than later, and to make sure we can not be mind controlled, compelled or have our thoughts read. Maybe Lexi can help me with that too.

We are watching the previews before the movie, laughing at some stupid thing that will be in next month’s new releases when I decide it might be time to ask my question, from the conversations we have had over the last week, when we have spent a lot of time together, almost every day and night, so I think she will be safe to ask. What’s the worst thing she can say, No. So taking a calming breath, I move to face her somewhat.

“Hey Lexi, I was hoping to ask you something, I don’t want to compromise you at all, so please know that I understand whatever you choose.” My words said while watching her.

She raised one of her perfectly manicured brow’s as she looked at me, which of course made me feel self-conscious, then she threw a piece of popcorn into her mouth, grinning then with a cheeky smirk she chuckled and nodded saying, “Sure go ahead” her face was, …….. entertained?

“ummmm, well, I think I need to know, what the boys are like. I think I maybe need to prepare myself.” When I finished her ridiculous smirk on her face was priceless, albeit a little creepy.

Her face was showing a look of shock, confusion, amusement, and maybe even a few other emotions all at the same time, hence the creepy.

I can see she is finding this amusing, I know it is a dangerous question, but with all the hulla ballou over the entire situation, I feel I now need to find myself a new plan.

“Well, they are all amazing guys, they have had a very very strict upbringing, but they are the next in line to take over from their father. Their mother died in childbirth, after the second set of triplets.” Her face falling to a solemn look, my quiet gasp and the movement of my hand had her pause in her words momentarily.

“It was a very sad time, and Lord Malachai, well he had a very hard time of it, he weakened in strength, he aged quickly from a virile man, willing to protect his pack, to the tall, more slender man, who now is requested to avoid any extremely dangerous situations. His family and pack need him safe, well, at least until the boys are finished with all their education to take over.” I could see the unshed tears in her eyes, but I let her continue, selfishly I needed to know as much as possible.

“So does that mean that Lord Malachai and his mate were chosen mates like mamma and pappa?” I asked dubiously, I don’t want to seem stupid.

“No, not chosen mates, they were fated mates.” She was about to continue, when I started instead.

“That mother fuking asshole! He has tricked my mother somehow, and now it is turning my life upside down!!!” my words coming out rushed and very hostile.

Lexi’s surprise evident when she suddenly sat up, “wait, Morghan, it’s not like that. Lycan’s are different, they, like all wolves are fiercely loyal and protective with that love the same, the difference is, as Lycan’s live longer they have the ability to identify multiple Fated mates. It’s how the Moon Goddess keeps the strength in the Lycans.” Lexi continued.

I must have looked like a bug eye goldfish, my face definitely would be showing a clear display of shock, horror, awe and something akin to feelings and emotions I just didn’t understand.

“Once they identify their Fated mate, and they connect and mark each other, it’s like a switch turns off, they won’t find any others until their bond breaks through death of one party. Then his process will start all over again.” Lexi explained, I can see I clearly need to learn more about Lycans!

“So that is his Lordships story, now wot about the boys?” I needed to get the conversation back on track, before my brain gives up.

“So, Logan is the oldest, I am told he will be home at the weekend, so like tomorrow.” I didn’t miss the smirk that Lexi tried to hide, but I pretended to, I don’t want to stop her explaining.

“Then you have Wyatt and Chase, they will be home next week sometime. And the younger boys will be home about a week before school goes back, they have the shortest break home. But they are all at school together, they are a year younger than you, I will tell you more about them later. Then Logan, Wyatt and Chase are older twenty-four if I am correct. They were in my brother’s class at school.” Her words casual, like she had explained this to so many people.

“Well, I guess you better tell me about the three older ones, because it seems they will be my protection and security along with you, I hope that doesn’t mean you are going to be put somewhere else!” I couldn’t help my tone rising and the small amount of panic I could hear in my own voice.

“Ughh! Why do I have to have Triplet Stepbrothers???” I huffed out while I threw myself dramatically further back into the beanbag I was sitting on.

I feel like this is the biggest clusterfuk in history!
