The Black Alder Series (Books 1-3)

Kayla Pov The girls and I arrived at Roland’s mall in a short time. We talked about a lot of stuff while we shopped. They told me about growing up together and how it was to find out they were mates. We had just entered Belk.

“So why don’t you both live in the packhouse?”?

“We did at first, but we decided it would be better to get a place of our own. We grew up in the packhouse together and decided to just get our privacy,” Bonnie said.

“Gotcha!” I told them. “Plus, we wanted a place where we could make some noise,” Elle said, kissing Bonnie, and I looked down, my cheeks red.

“Stop making her flush, babe,” Bonnie said, laughing at me. I laughed with her.

“So, what’s the real reason for you being scared to go all the way with the idiots?” Elle asked as we sorted through some tops. I thought carefully before telling them, but I knew I could trust them.

“I was drugged and raped when I was 18 by this alpha, whom I was sold to by my foster parents. I know it’s been a few years since it happened. I guess I’m just afraid of giving up control completely, given that I had no choice at the time,” I told them.

“I understand,” Bonnie says. “I’m sorry that happened to you. I can understand your reluctance, but a little advice. If you keep living in the past, you will miss out on all the wonderful things your life in the now can offer you.” I nodded, because I knew she was right.

“Are my brothers treating you well?” Elle asked. I smiled.

“Yes, they are allowing me to make my own choices, and they ask for consent for everything, “I told her.

“That’s great; then, as Bonnie said, live in your present. You will be amazed by the pleasures life can give you.” Elle said.

“You’re right,” I tell them, and they are. I’ve spent time being afraid of what was rather than what could be, and I know it makes me happy. They make me feel things I’ve never felt before, and I love them so much.

“Let’s get you all dolled up,” Bonnie says, pulling me and Elle to a hair salon.

“I want her hair treated and curled,” Bonnie commanded one of the stylists. The stylist washed and treated my hair, curling it in beautiful, soft curls that framed my face. They then pinned it up while it looked like Elle was mind-linking someone. Bonnie was getting her red hair curled as well.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“The twins are making sure you’re okay,” Elle tells me. “They told me to tell you they have a surprise day planned out for you. Let’s find you an outfit.”

“I have many clothes already,” I told her.

“Pshhhhh,” Elle says. “One can never live with too many clothes.”

“Don’t pretend you just made that up, babe,” Bonnie says, and they burst out laughing in tears as if it were the funniest thing.

After my hair was finished, we went into a few more stores, including Victoria’s Secret, to shop for some added items. We bought a few outfits, and they made me change into my clothes for my day with the twins. My outfit consisted of a long black-sleeved bodycon dress and black heels. My necklace was gold with green stones that matched both my shirt and eyes. It came with matching earrings and a bracelet. Since my hair was pinned up into a style, I decided to pin a gold pin on it for a little bit of decoration. Bonnie added eyeshadow to bring out my green eyes. I looked amazing.

We got back to the packhouse quickly. The girls and I went into the kitchen. I could hear stomps coming downstairs, and I knew it was my twins. I went out of the kitchen to greet them just as they reached the last step and, Oh my damn, the sight before me. Both twins had gotten their hair cut and gelled back. Aiden had on a dark blue polo shirt with tan slacks that brought out his eyes. Ethan was wearing a dark tan polo shirt and black slacks that brought his eyes as well. They looked so sexy, and I couldn’t help the feeling that started to build. They were staring at me in awe as well, and I realized it was the first time I had dressed up.

I’m not sure how long we all stayed staring at each other.

“Are you three going to gawk at each other all day? Don’t; you have someplace to be”, Bonnie said with a smirk. The twins pulled me into a hug.

“There’s nothing wrong with checking out our mate,” Ethan said to her.

“You look beautiful, mi amor,” Aiden said, raking me with his eyes.

“You both look stunning,” I told them, kissing them on the cheek.

“My lady,” they both stated, each holding one hand behind their backs and one hand in front for me to grab. Such a beautiful gesture. I grabbed their hand, and we walked to one of their cars. A black Camaro with tinted windows. Aiden held open the door as I got inside. Ethan got on the driver’s side, and Aiden jumped into the backseat.

“So where are we going?” I asked them.

“I can’t ruin the surprise,” Aiden said, and I groaned silently, but with their Lycan hearing, they both heard it and chuckled.

“You will love it, I promise,” Ethan said.

“Fine,” I told them, and I looked out the window, watching the trees pass us by. Liam Pov It had been three weeks, and there had been no trace of her. I have sent spies with the help of her parents, but no one has heard anything. Where the fuck is she?

“Alpha, there is a man here at the border who says he has information on our Luna.” A member linked. I instantly perked up. Send the man up.

I was happy. I would finally be able to reclaim what is mine and bring her back to me. She would be on her knees daily, begging for mercy, as I fucked her tiny throat. My little mate. I heard a knock on my office door.

“Enter”

A tall man with black robes and green eyes came in.

“Your name,” I commanded.

“I have not come to introduce myself. You want to know the information I have about your Luna or not,” the man said. I don’t like his tone, but I’m willing to listen.

“Speak,” I told him, motioning my hands for him to sit down, and we got down to business.
