Saving The Alpha's Triplets 62: Broken Home
JENNA I’ve always heard a phantom slap was worse than a real one. And a reality check slap is also worse than a slap you’ll receive for literally, any other reason. The two formers were what it had felt like when I heard the name on the phone. When Liz, Jason’s fiancé, asked if he was close because she had been calling him but she couldn’t reach him. Home wrecker. The word kept repeating itself in my head. Getting louder and louder, until I felt like my brain was going to explode. The other woman. I hated that word. I’d told myself I wasn’t going to stay in the pack and become that. Only for me to leave and become that either way. My hands shook as I brought it up to my lips. I bit on it too hard and it drew blood. The pain barely registered in my head. I was too busy trying to stop myself from sinking underwater. The oxygen in my lungs was already starting to run and the water bank seems like it is forever away from me. On shaky legs, I turned and walked out of the room. Not
Saving The Alpha's Triplets 63: Out For A Search
JASONI was close to losing my fucking mind.Jenna went out without her phone so there was no way to reach her. She has been gone for hours now.I’d wanted to follow her after she went out, but knowing her, I knew it would be best to let her reel in silence first. From childhood, I know I’ll only make things worse if I tried to talk to her while she was distraught.I felt fucking stupid for not listening to my inner voice. Because then, I would have at least known where she went.I’ve searched every part of this damned place. Even went as far as checking the beach. Surely she would be by the water. I knew how much that made her calm. The reason she always went to the lake back at home when she was upset.Except, she wasn’t there. And the small flicker of hope died down. I was left feeling even more miserable and dejected.I hated Liz at that point. I usually didn’t feel anything, except the thought of her as a responsibility to me. Like a chore on my to-do list that I’ll have to tick
Saving The Alpha's Triplets 64: Getaway Trip
JENNAWe got into the cart with Jason and the rest of the guys. It was so obvious there was something wrong between us, but no one could ask. Thank God.I’d wanted to get on the other cart, away from Jason. It felt like too much so I got on the one he was in while Amaya went on the other one. I felt betrayed for a second before it clicked in my head that I had nothing to feel betrayed about.She was doing her job to the best of her ability. And staying with me while I sulked isn't part of it.When we got back to the main part of the resort. I got off the cart and more or less ran to our room. While thinking to myself if I could ask for a different room. Or even a way to leave.The latter option was the best right now.As soon as I’d gotten into the room, Jason followed suit. I was expecting it but I still felt the hairs on my body stand at attention when he walked in.He stood by the door, not rushing towards me. Even from that distance, he was stealing all the air in the room and I f
Saving The Alpha's Triplets 65: Night Out
JENNA“Do you think this is okay?” Claire eyes the dress I’m holding, her lips pursed before she shakes her head.We decided to switch to video call.“Don’t you have anything else?” I sighed and shook my head.“Mostly summer dresses.” I replied. “I'm not about to wear that to a bar.”Yes, you heard right, a Bar. Claire convinced me the best way to get my mind off Jason and whatever I was escaping from was to go out and have some fun. She didn’t ask what exactly happened but it shouldn’t be that hard to guess.I didn’t agree at first, knowing that was her default advice for anything that is going on with you. ‘Go get drunk, sis. Life will be better in the morning.’ Was her motor for everyday life situations.I once asked her what you’re supposed to do if that doesn’t work out for you and she said to repeat it. “That is a one way street to becoming an alcoholic, Claire.” I recalled telling her. She’d only shrugged and said maybe it wouldn’t work for me. But it worked well for her and sh
Saving The Alpha's Triplets 66: Flirty Stranger
JENNAI knew the direction of the bar from the tour Amaya gave us when we first arrived. I found it easily. But for some reason, going in didn’t seem like the right thing to do.I wished I was on call with Claire right now, she would have given me the words of encouragement I needed.No, I didn’t need any encouragement. I said to myself. I didn’t need anybody to push me when I ran for miles on foot. I left the only home I have ever known with barely enough money to get a solid meal. And I’m still standing.I own a restaurant. I’m a proud mother. I’m loved in my new home. I’m good. I’m fine.I kept repeating the words until I felt better. Until the fast pacing of my heart reduced to a gentle thrum. Then I huffed out a breath through my mouth and looked at the entrance again. No one is going to catch you, Jenna.It is just a club. I said for the last time. I took a step forward but didn’t fully go in.“You know, there isn’t a monster in there, right?” I was startled when I heard the dee
Saving The Alpha's Triplets 67: Reading People
JENNAReed, as I came to learn his name was, said he was here alone, for business. He’d laughed when he saw my expression after he said that. Of course, I thought he was lying.This is a resort and most people you see are couples. He didn’t ask who I was here with, to his credit. We sat and chatted, well, he mostly spoke and I listened. He was proving to be a really good distraction.This is probably not what Claire meant when she said I should put myself out there. But this is better than anything she would recommend.He ordered a martini for me, saying it would be best if I didn’t want to get tipsy. It would take a lot of alcohol to actually get me drunk, but I didn’t tell him that.He may have good humor and an amazing smile, but I’m not about to make myself seem like prey.“See, that woman right there is looking for a good time.” He motioned to a redhead who had been sitting alone at a booth in the end of the room.I shook my head no then turned back to him. “She is sitting alone,
Saving The Alpha's Triplets 68: Flirting Skills
JENNAAfter Reed dropped that bomb and we went out, I didn’t know what I was expecting to come out of his mouth. But I was somewhat looking forward to it. He was unpredictable in the best way.The sky was littered with shining stars. And the sight of the moon, along with the few candles lighted around the tents on the beach, made the place look ethereal. Like something out of a fantasy novel or book. It was almost like a dream come true.I made a mental note in my head to bring the kids here sometime, when they are back safely. This is something Nina would like specifically. And maybe Kai too. I could see him trying to get into the water and me following him and pleading for him to not do anything dangerous. Ryan will sit on the beach and paint or draw. Or play his games.I fought the urge to smile when I thought of that. Something tells me it’ll look even better with them here. My babies have the power to make everything they touch seem magical.He was right about the people being by
Saving The Alpha's Triplets 69: Lonely On the Beach
JASONI went down to the beach after leaving Jenna alone. I kept asking myself every hour if I was ready to go back. But I couldn’t.Call me a coward. Because it is who I am. I couldn’t stand her looking at me the way she did. I didn’t want to see her label everything that happened in the past few days as a mistake. To watch her regret all the special moments I know I would carry the rest of my life believing they were the best to me.And knowing I did this to myself. That hurt the most.If I hadn’t fucked up seven years ago she would still be by my side. She would still be mine.But we probably wouldn’t have a pack to stay in. The treaty was important and people’s lives depended on it.I try to think of what my mother would have said. And all the possible answers that came to my head made me loathe myself a little more.I felt lost. I had nowhere to go. No one to talk to because no one would understand. I didn’t know what else to do. What I felt right now seemed an awful lot like how
