#12 The Triplets of Emerald Forest

Gabriel

“Will you be with all three of us tonight?” I asked, sitting down on the bed with Harlow straddling my lap.

“I….” Her eyes went wide as she looked at Ric and Griff behind me.

“We’ll take care of you, precious, don’t worry.” Godric said,

He crawled onto the bed and sat back against the pillows, stretching out his legs. I picked Harlow up and sat her between his legs with her back against his chest, then I sat down in front of her. Griff joined us, sitting by her side. She was fidgeting and blushing, looking extremely nervous. I wrapped her up in my arms and crushed her mouth to mine. The second I deepened the kiss, she relaxed against me.

Godric’s hands wrapped around her stomach and he started kissing her neck while Griff kissed the other side of her neck. She moaned and I felt her hands begin to play with the buttons of my shirt, untucking my shirt and working it off of me.

“Goddess, how much do you like this dress, Harlow?” Godric growled as he fumbled with the ten million buttons of the dress.

“Not that much.” She said and that was all the confirmation Ric needed. He ripped the dress off and shredded it to pieces to get it away from her skin.

Harlow’s giggles were music to my ears and I couldn’t take it anymore. I shrugged out of my jacket and shirt before kicking off my pants. Godric pushed on her shoulders, shimming her down so her head was laying in his lap and her body was stretched out on the bed. I yanked open the bedside table and pulled out a condom.

“When did you have time to do that?” She laughed at our new supply of protection.

“The second you told us you wanted to use them.” I said before covering myself and moving back over her body.

Griffin was laying at her side, his face buried in her neck as he kissed his mark on her neck. She closed her head and tilted her head back against Ric’s lap, moaning. I ran my hands up and down her body, smiling as she twitched and squirmed under my sensitive touch. I positioned myself at her entrance and buried my face in her breast, kissing her sweet mounds and pebbled nipples as I pushed into her. She gasped and her moans got louder the faster I moved in and out of her.

Griffin was still kissing his mark, sucking and licking on her sensitive skin while I gave her breast some attention and Ric ran his hands everywhere he could reach. In seconds, she came crashing down.

“Gabriel!” She cried out, shuttering as she came down from her high.

Her head lolled to the side but Ric shifted underneath her, standing up while Griffin slipped into his spot, laying her head on his lap. I went into the bathroom to clean up and slipped on a pair of boxers. I came back out just in time to hear Ric say,

“Don’t get tired on us now, you still have two more mates, my precious.” He purred, hovering between her legs and moving to kiss her sweetly.

She gasped as his hands slipped between her legs and came back to life. I started massaging her breasts as Godric moved his kisses down her body, over her legs, and to her sex. He licked the length of her and she shuttered, moaning.

“Already ready for me, precious?” Godric chuckled, blowing his warm breath across her sex.

“Godric.” She moaned his name.

“I’m here, precious.” He quickly grabbed a condom and readied himself before laying over her body, “I love you so much, Mrs. Emerald.” He purred, kissing her mouth just as he thrust inside.

She moaned loudly and I fidgeted on the bed, surprised at how turned on I was by the sight of my mate being pleasured. She dragged her nails across Godric’s back as she came undone, breaking open the skin like she had claws of her own. Ric collapsed against her, burning his face into her neck to plant a hot kiss on her mark.

Like a well oiled machine, we switched places again. This time, Harlow’s head was in my lap and Ric was laying at her side, his mouth already moving against her neck before she could even catch her breath. Griffin leaned on his elbows and hovered his body overtop of Harlow, pushing her hair away from her sweaty face.

“Are you ready for me, too, my angel?” He asked sweetly, peppering her face with kisses.

“I want you, too, Griffin.” She whispered dreamily.

“Music to my ears, angel.” Griffin said in a hoarse tone before he started kissing his way down her body.

He stopped at her breasts and paid extra attention to them, proving that he was, indeed, a boob man. I ran my hands through her fingers, studying her face as it contorted with pleasure. She gasped as Griffin’s fingers entered her sex. She lifted her hips off the mattress and he growled, forcing them back down and keeping them still.

“You’re so eager for me, angel. Good thing there’s three of us for you.” He teased her playfully, kissing her lips again before she could yell at him.

When he pulled away she opened her mouth to say something and in that exact moment he thrust inside of her, already wearing his raincoat. She gasped and clamped her mouth shut.

“You were saying, angel?” He teased her but she was too far gone to care.

It didn’t take long for the two of them to finish. I swear, I was ready for round two after watching my mate being pleasured over and over again. Her face was sexy and seductive beyond belief.

Griffin went to the bathroom to clean up and Harlow rolled to the side, snuggled into my lap.

“Is our Luna sleepy?” I chuckled. She hummed in response, her eyes already closed.

“Hold on, precious, let’s get comfortable.” Godric laughed, scoping her up to place her in the middle of the bed. She didn’t even bat an eye.

Godric scoots in behind her and wraps his arms around her stomach, pulling her against his front. I wrapped my arms around her from the front, snuggling my face into her neck. Griffin came out from the bathroom and started pouting,

“Where am I supposed to sleep?”

“There’s three of us and she only has two sides, Griff, someone’s gonna have to compromise. We’ll take turns.” I said, rolling my eyes at him.

Harlow was already asleep. Griff huffed,

“I worship at her feet anyway.” He said before picking up her legs and laying at the foot of the bed.

“If she kicks you in her sleep, I won’t feel bad for you.” Godric grumbled in annoyance.

“Whatever.” Griff wasn’t having none of his attitude today.

“Shut up and sleep.” Harlow grumbled, annoyed with all three of us for keeping her from her deep slumber.

“Yes, my love.” Gabe laughed.

I jumped away when the bed started to bounce. I was ready to throw hands until I heard Canyon’s giggles and saw him and Maggie jumping on our bed. Gabe and Griff awakened with the same reaction as me while Harlow started laughing.

“They do this all the time.” She smirked at our reaction.

“Seriously? I almost took them out.” I whispered to her and she fell over with laughter.

“What are you two doing?” Griff grabbed Maggie and started tickling her while Gabe threw Canyon over his shoulder and started making airplane noises as he ran around the room.

I laughed and looked back at Harlow to see her wide eyes were teary.

“What’s wrong, precious?” I felt my eyes pull together in concern.

“Seeing the three of you with these kids is just a true blessing. You are really the best daddies.” She sniffed.

“Daddy!” Canyon squealed as Gabe spun him around.

I heard a laugh from the doorway and turned to see Tulley standing there with a smile on her face.

“I keep telling them to stop waking you up like this.” Tulley laughed and Harlow just shrugged, patting the space in bed beside her. Tulley flopped down between us.

“I wanted to ask you, Tulley, how do you feel about them calling us mom and dad?” Harlow asked her, her hand gripping Tulley’s.

“I love it, honestly. I want them to have a family and to have parents, that doesn’t mean they won’t still remember our parents. I know you’ll make sure that our mom and dad are kept alive in their memories, Harlie.” Tulley smiled.

I knew that Harlow was fighting back tears at her response. I reached behind the girls and laid my hand on Harlow’s back, rubbing slow circles to comfort her from afar.

“I will always make sure that your parents are remembered and I want you to talk about them whenever you want. They’ll always be a part of all of our lives. We promise them and you to always take care of the three of you and love you in the same way that we would imagine your parents would love and care for you.” Harlow brushed a stray tear from Tulley’s cheek as she struggled to keep herself together.

“I’m so grateful for you, for all of you.” Tulley smiled, leaning her head on Harlow’s shoulder, “I love you….Mom.” She said and the dam broke on Harlow’s emotions. She wrapped her arms around Tulley and broke down into tears.

“I love you so much, Tulley.”

I wrapped my arm around two of the most important women in my life, kissing the top of Harlow’s head and looked at my brothers as they played with Maggie and Canyon. Griff leaned down and whispered something to the others, then they all turned and ran towards us. They jumped onto the bed and we all collapsed into a giant puddle.

A couple of werewolves fell in love with a human from a long lost dragon bloodline and this was the precious family that we have created so far. I couldn’t wait for the day that our mate was round and swollen with our baby, but, until then, I was planning on loving up every moment I had with my precious mate and the three beautiful children she brought into our lives.

Epilogue

Harlow

“Are you serious? Are. You. Serious!” Nova shrieked, bouncing up and down, “I’m going to be an Auntie again?”

“Shhhh! I don’t want them to hear it yet!” I shushed her.

“Ahhhh!” Annie whisper-yelled as she hugged me.

“I’m going to go get the kids so you can tell them.” Matti said, running out of the room before I could even respond.

“I’m so excited!” Kori was jumping up and down.

“Woah, chill girl, you’re going to pop out my future Gamma.” I said, putting my hands on Kori’s hand and forcing her to stop jumping.

She was a month away from giving birth to her and Waylon’s first baby, a boy who would be this pack’s future Gamma. Annie and Cam had two boys already, while Ambrose and Matti had a daughter and another one on the way. Callie and Deale were hard at work as she was pregnant with baby number five, Sammy and my brother-in-law Wade had twin girls, and my sister-in-law Nova and her mate Alaska had twin boys.

I was the last one in our group to get pregnant. It’s been five years since I first met my triplet mates and became their Luna and their wife. I graduated with a degree in child psychology and opened up my own practice in D.C. in collaboration with Emerald Inc. I wanted to wait until my practice was off the ground until I allowed my very eager mates to ditch their raincoats. After being on birth control for more than a decade, it was a struggle for me to regulate my hormones and it took us almost two years to get pregnant. I started to get discouraged but my mates never lost hope.

We already had a 21-year-old, a 15-year-old, and a 9-year-old who kept us busy and so in love with our life. I couldn’t wait to tell them that they were about to have a new baby brother or sister. After much deliberation, and after talking thoroughly with the kids, it was agreed upon that our first son would be the heir to the pack. It was actually Tulley who said that she wanted the next Alpha to come from the old Emerald Alpha bloodline and Canyon, even at nine years old, agreed.

“What’s going on, Mom?” Tulley looked confused as she walked into the room with Matti.

“Come here, my babies.” I opened my arms and the three kiddos who made me a mommy came running over to me.

I picked Canyon up and sat him on my lap while Tulley and Maggie sat beside me. It was crazy to think that Maggie was almost the same age that Tulley was when we first brought them into our home.

“Mom has something to tell you all and you have to keep it a secret because daddies don’t know, yet.” I said,

“What is it?” Maggie asked with wide eyes.

“What have Mom, Dad, Papa, and Daddy been trying to do for a while now?” I asked and Tulley started grinning uncontrollably,

“Are you pregnant?” She whispered. I nodded and her and Maggie started to squeal.

“What?” Canyon had huge eyes.

“I’m pregnant with your baby brother or sister.” I explained, putting my hand on my stomach.

“I’m going to finally be a big brother?” Canyon asked with huge blue eyes staring up at me.

“Yes!”

Canyon squealed and wrapped his hands around my neck.

“When are you going to tell daddies?” Canyon asked.

“How should we tell them, do you think?” I asked, looking around at my kids.

“Oh, we should make a shirt that says big brother for Canyon.” Maggie suggested.

“I love that idea!” Annie cried from behind us, “I know someone in the pack who can make that today.” And off she went.

“Should we make daddies favorite meals and dress up the backyard for dinner tonight?” I asked.

“I’ll go tell Amanda right now.” Tulley hopped up and was out the door.

I laughed and grabbed Canyon and Maggie’s hands as we followed after her. Luckily, Godric, Gabe, and Griffin were in the city today checking in on their many businesses so we had plenty of time to set up the surprise of their lives.

Tulley, Maggie, and Canyon helped Amanda make each of their Dad’s favorite meals. Spaghetti for Gabe, steak and potatoes for Godric, and chicken parmesan for Griffin. I barely did anything, the kids dressed up the picnic table outside and even draped the trees in string lights so it would remind the brothers of our wedding and my Luna ceremony reception.

Annie showed up just in time with a shirt for Canyon that read, Big Brother in bold, block letters so the brothers cannot possibly miss it. I zipped a sweatshirt up over Canyon’s shirt and they all sat around the table, waiting for their daddies’ arrival.

After what seemed like forever, Godric, Gabe, and Griffin finally arrived back home and were led out to the backyard by my scent. I quickly learned that I could never hide from them so I liked to make it fun by never telling them where I was. It was like a scavenger hunt every single day where they got me at the end of it, so I’d say they make out pretty good every time.

“What’s going on, my love?” Gabriel said, his eyes pinching together.

“Your kiddos wanted to make you all your favorite dinner.” I smiled, giving him a quick kiss before motioning towards the table.

“Wow! What is this?” Godric, who has seriously turned into the biggest lush for his kids, ran towards the table and plopped down in front of his favorite dish, “You made me my favorite!”

“Duh.” Maggie gave him her usual attitude and we all laughed.

“What did we do to deserve this?” Griffin said, kissing my temple as he walked past me and sat at the table.

“You’re just the best daddies and husbands.” I said, taking Gabriel’s hand and guided him down to the table.

I was afraid that the kids would blurt out the secret but now I was more worried about myself. I was giddy with anticipation and my husbands seemed to be eating even slower than normal. Once they were finally finished, it was time for the real surprise.

“Canyon got a new shirt today that he wants to show you.” I said, motioning for Canyon to stand up.

He grinned proudly and pushed the plates out of the way, jumping up to stand on top of the table. I laughed at how eager and proud he was. He unzipped his jacket and fanned it out dramatically.

“Oh, that’s so cool, bu….” Gabe opened his mouth to say something positive, because of course he was going to compliment Canyon’s shirt no matter what, but his words caught in his throat as he read it.

“Big brother?” Godric read it with a puzzled expression.

“Holy shit.” Griffin said, looking at me with huge eyes. I glared at him for cursing in front of the kids.

“Mom’s pregnant!” Maggie finally shouted, no longer able to contain herself.

Her words seemed to finally unlock my mates. They all stood up and literally lifted me from the table, swinging me around in their arms. Once they set me down, all three of their hands wrapped around my stomach.

“You make us happier and happier with each day, my angel.” Griffin sang, ducking down to kiss me sweetly.

“You are everything, just everything.” Godric purred, kissing me in his usual fiery and passionate fashion.

Gabriel cupped my face in his hands and placed one hot kiss on my lips,

“I love you so much.”

And he dropped to his knees, peppering my stomach with kisses.

“And I love you.”

Then he stood and opened his arms for his kids,

“And I love all of you.” He said as they ran in for a hug.

Godric and Griff wrapped their arms around me and pulled me towards Gabe and the kids.

And just like that we were made whole.

3 Months Later

Harlow

“Remind me to kill your mother later.” I grumbled as I looked at the ultrasound screen that showed the three little blobs that were our babies.

“Oh baby, it’ll be perfect.” Gabe chuckled, kissing the top of my head.

“Do you want to know the genders?” Dr. Mollie asked.

“Yes.” I replied without wasting any time.

Honestly, I didn’t care what those three idiots wanted. They got me pregnant with triplet Alpha werewolf babies that I would have to push through a tiny hole in my body, I was finding out their damn sex.

Gabe, Godric, and Griffin chuckled at me before nodding to Dr. Mollie.

“Congratulations, Alphas, Luna, you’re having identical sons.”

“Oh have mercy.” I groaned, dropping my head back on the exam table.

“You’re measuring at about 7 months, so I’d say you have two more to go, Luna.” Dr. Mollie continued like I hadn’t even spoken. She handed us the print outs of our ultrasound and left the room.

Before I could even kill my husbands, I mean celebrate with them, I was knocked breathless with an overwhelming heat. I gasped and sat up as a fire consumed my veins, a fire I hadn’t felt since the day of our wedding and my ceremony, the day that the rogues attacked us for the final time.

“Angel, what’s wrong?” Griffin was on high alert instantly.

“I don’t know.” I gasped, breathing heavily because it felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest.

My eyes started to burn and I knew they were glowing, something I had grown accustomed to since it happened anytime I felt emotional, showing off the firey embers that lived within my hazel orbs. My hands started to shake and warm sparks shot from my fingertips. Before I could completely freak out, a voice invaded my head,

“Don’t worry, Harlow, it’s just me.” I recognized Selene’s voice.

“What’s happening?” I gasped.

“It’s time. The day I told you about five years ago has arrived. It’s time to free your brothers and sisters from the dragon realm.” As quickly as her voice came, it was gone.

“Precious, you’re scaring us.” Godric looked like he was about to have a full on meltdown.

“It was Selene calling out to me.” I said just as Waylon burst into the room.

“What the hell are you doing?” Godric snapped.

“I’m….I’m sorry but, you’ll never guess who’s in your office right now.” Waylon was actually breathless.

“Who?” Godric didn’t look amused.

“The freaking Kings and Queen of the werewolf realm.” Waylon said and I swear my mates’ hearts stopped beating.

“Say what now?” Gabe said with huge eyes.

“It’s the Moon Goddess. She said that they would call upon me for help and now she just spoke to me saying that the dragon realm needs me.” I said, jumping down from the medical bed.

“The dragon what?” Gabe turned his questions on me.

“The dragon realm. What? You have a werewolf realm.” I was confused by his confusion.

“There isn’t a dragon realm. There aren’t dragons.” Gabe said with a dumbfounded depression.

I held up my hand and a tiny flame burst from my palm as my eyes sparkled with fiery embers.

“I’m sorry, don’t set me on fire.” Gabe held up his hands in surrender and I couldn’t help but laugh at him.

“Come on, we need to go see what they want.” I said, hurrying out the door.

“Harlow, you’re pregnant.” Godric grabbed my arm and forced me to stop.

“Yeah, so?” I bit at him.

“Give it a rest, Ric.” Griff put his hand on Godric’s shoulder and shook his head.

I smirked smugly at the pair of them before skipping off, knowing damn well that I had them wrapped around my pinky finger.

We rushed to the office but gathered ourselves before walking in to greet the Kings and Queen of the werewolf realm. I had never met a king or a queen before so I was pretty excited. Inside Gabe’s office were two identical men dressed in handsome black suits and a gorgeous woman in a short, summery dress.

“King Alphas Sebastian and Alexander, Queen Luna Stella. Welcome to the Emerald Forest pack.” Gabriel greeted them with a bow of his head.

I was shocked, I’ve never seen my Alphas bow to anyone and now all three of them were showing submission to the royal werewolves. I joined them in a polite curtsey.

“Please, don’t stand on ceremony, Alphas, Luna.” King Sebastian said,

“We need your help. The Moon Goddess said that your Luna can help us. Please, Luna Harlow, we’re begging you, help us save our daughter.” Queen Luna Stella grabbed my hand with tears in her eyes,

“She’s been taken to the dragon realm and you’re the only one who can set her free.”

Is this really my real life?
