Caught Between The Big Bad Alphas

Little sister

Chapter Five

ROCHELLE

It was finally weekend. I didn't have to go to school and face thousands of judgmental eyes.

After the triplets' rejection, I figured I might as well drop out. There was no survival for me at Silverstone.

But I couldn't tell my mom, not yet at least. Today was a really special day for her.

Her fiance was coming over with his family for dinner and we had to make sure to leave a good impression.

“Roch, could you get me some groceries down the street? We've run out of sugar, ketchup and mayonnaise,” my mother asked.

“Sure,” I smiled and her gaze lingered on me a little longer than necessary.

“Are you okay?” She asked worriedly. “Your eyes look swollen.”

I remained as calm as possible because I didn't want her catching on. “You literally woke me up by 6am on a Saturday morning to clean up the house. Of course my eyes would be swollen.”

It was an easy lie with a mix of the truth which made it easily believable. I took her card and headed down the streets to the nearest store.

I was scanning through the shelves, searching for the ingredients my mom needed, when I heard a couple of girls.

“That's her, isn't it?”

“The one that was trying to seduce the Alpha? Yup! Definitely her.”

My grip on the ketchup bottle tightened, but I willed myself to ignore them and move on but just as I took a step, they appeared in front of me. Worse, they were all members of the cheer squad, Sophia's clique. I turned around quickly, hoping to avoid drawing attention to myself.

"Hey, Slutchelle!" One of the them called and the others laughed. My pace quickened.

“She’s looking for her next livestream,” another voice hissed. I gripped the handle of the cart tightly.

"Where do you think you're going?" a girl suddenly appeared in front of me, aimed her phone at my face. “Say cheese, babe. The school's favorite pornstar deserves her own gallery.”

I shoved past her, but then she tripped me. I hit one of the aisles, metal slamming into my ribs.

They laughed heartily. “f**k this is going to blow up.”

Thankfully only a few items fell to the floor and none of them were bottles. They giggled and walked away, leaving me to face the reprimanding stares of the salespersons.

I got off the floor with a sigh and arranged everything that fell before picking the last item I needed. I paid out the counter and scurried out of the store quickly because I couldn't stand the eyes on me.

On getting home, I immediately put on my fake smile and helped my mother with everything she needed.

Time flew faster than expected and it was finally dinner. I helped her set the table with the assorted dishes as well as pick out her most beautiful dress.

By 7pm, the doorbell rang.

“I'll get that,” she said, barely able to contain her excitement as she rushed to the door. I chuckled, momentarily forgetting my problems. It's been so long I saw her like this.

“Pierce!” I heard her squeal. “It's so good to see you! Welcome.”

“Hey, baby,” a deep masculine voice rumbled. “Did you miss me?”

I hurriedly set the last plate down and hurried to the living to see this man who made my mother fall head over heels.

I immediately sensed the intense Alpha auras as I stepped into the room. From where I stood, I could already see him twirling my mother in a hug.

I giggled and stepped forward only for the smile to immediately fade from my face.

Stepping in one after the other were three familiar faces I never thought I'd see so soon. My heart slowed as my breath caught my throat.

I blinked rapidly, refusing to believe it. I hoped it was an imagination. That my brain was just playing pranks on me. But even after shutting my eyes and reopening them, they were still there.

The Triplet Alphas.

“Baby, these are my sons, the ones I told you about,” Alpha Pierce didn't waste time in introducing them, but their gazes were locked on me.

I couldn't move from the spot where I stood.

“Rochelle,” my mother gestured at me. “Come over here!”

Snapping out of my daze, I walked over to her with a pounding heart for introductions.

“Pierce, this is my daughter Rachelle,” she introduced. “Roch, this is my fiancé, Alpha Pierce of Moon Crest pack.”

“I know. You wouldn't shut up about him,” I smiled and stepped forward. “It's a pleasure to meet you, Alpha.”

“The pleasure is mine,” he gave a breathtaking smile. “You bear a striking resemblance with your mother.”

“Oh, thank you,” I blushed at the compliment.

“These are my sons,” he turned to the boys, whose expressions remained blank. “Evander, Aidan and Ryker.”

“It's a pleasure to meet you,” My mom smiled, and their expressions cracked into smiles that made my heart stop.

I never thought they were capable of such a gesture. They took turns in kissing her hand.

“Pleasure to meet, Miss Grace. We have heard so much about you,” Aidan said.

Then their gazes flickered to me and my lips parted slowly.

Ryker, the redhead, stepped forward and took my hand, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.

“I believe we've already met, little sister.”

Heat crept up my cheeks as shame slowly engulfed me.
