Mated to the Triplet Alphas-Chapter 23: Secret Surprises

“Where are we going? What is the surprise? You know I don’t like surprises,” I whined, following the triplets down the beach.

Since they announced that they had another birthday gift for me, I’d been trying to get it out of them but they’d kept mute so far.

“Come on, just tell me,” I whined. “Please? Pretty please? Pretty please with a cherry on top?”

Liam chuckled. “You’re so adorable. And no, we’re still not telling you. Be patient. You’ll find out soon enough.”

I huffed in annoyance but the moment he pulled me into his arms and pressed a kiss to my forehead, all the annoyance melted away.

“That’s cheating,” I muttered even as I melted into his arms.

He shrugged. “It’s a good kind of cheating.”

I let him continue to drag me along by the hand.

After breakfast this morning, they’d told me to pack some essentials—toiletries, underwear, and a change of clothes. That meant we probably wouldn’t return today. Ugh, I was so curious!

“See,” Liam said suddenly, pointing ahead.

I looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that we were headed down to the dock where a bunch of boats and yachts were parked.

My eyes widened. “Wow, I’ve never seen a yacht up close before!” I gushed, gaping at the beautiful, pearly white boats. I turned to the guys. “Are we riding one?”

Lucas nodded. “Yes, we are,” he answered.

My eyes widened. I jumped up and down, clapping my hands. “Oh my gosh, a boat ride. That’s such a cool birthday gift! Thanks, guys!”

Levi laughed so hard, he doubled over.

I frowned at him. “What’s so funny?” I asked, miffed.

“You—for thinking that this is the birthday gift,” he said, his eyes twinkling merrily.

“What’s wrong with a boat ride? It’s a great gift,” I argued.

He threw his hand up in surrender. “Nothing is wrong with it. All I’m saying is that the birthday gift is much grander than an ordinary boat ride.” He winked at me.

My heartbeat doubled in anticipation. We walked to one of the yachts and climbed onboard. I couldn’t stop smiling. I was so excited, I was practically bouncing on my feet.

A man in a sailor’s cap walked out of the boat.

He bowed to the triplets. “Welcome, Alphas,” he greeted.

They answered him heartily. They seemed very familiar with him. That must mean that they used this boat often.

He turned to me and bowed. I blushed. This was the first time anyone was bowing to me. “I am Captain Ashton,” he said, offering me his hand.

I took his hand, blushing deeply. “I’m Hazel,” I said quietly and quickly withdrew my hand.

“Are you ready for your ride to—” the sailor started to say with a big smile.

“No!” Levi shouted.

The sailor froze, his eyes wide. “Is there a problem?” He asked.

“Our destination is a secret, Ashton,” he exclaimed.

“Oh, shit,” Ashton muttered. “My apologies. I had no idea. Enjoy the ride,” he said and disappeared back into the boat quickly.

I watched him go with longing. If only he’d spoken a little faster, I would know exactly where we were going. Too late!

I looked around the boat and smiled. I walked around the deck slowly. “This is so beautiful. It’s so well built!”

Lucas smiled. “The boat belongs to our family,” he said.

My eyes widened. “Really? No wonder you were so familiar with the captain. I was wondering why you seemed so close.”

He nodded, smiling. “Yes, he has been working for us for years. Didn’t you notice the name on the stern?”

“The name?” I tried to remember if I saw anything but I didn’t.

He led me to the edge of the boat and pointed. There, written in shiny gold letters, were the words ‘Emberfang’.

“Oh, I didn’t see that,” I muttered. How did I miss it?

He pointed around at the other boats parked at the dock. “The other boats here belong to alphas of other packs.”

I nodded, wide-eyed. The boat rumbled to life under us and we started moving. I held on to the railings, eagerly looking out over the water. It was so beautiful. The scent of salt filled my nose.

I wished I could take a picture of the sight before me and frame it for life. But I knew that now that I was with the triplets, sights like this wouldn’t be too far apart.

“Want to take a tour?” Lucas asked.

I nodded eagerly. “Yes, please!”

My enthusiasm made him smile. We set off hand in hand, Liam and Levi trailing after us.

The yacht was so massive. Its sheer size almost overwhelmed me. It was so sleek and opulent. I didn’t dare guess how much it must have cost to purchase it. I was scared to touch anything, worried it would break in my hand.

Liam leaned lazily against the railing and pointed at a door leading down into the boat. “There is a room below deck in case you get tired. We can rest there for a while.”

“I won’t get tired,” I said stoutly, laughing. Nothing could make me waste this trip away by sleeping below deck.

Levi chuckled, stepping closer, his voice a whisper against her ear. “A bedroom isn’t only for sleeping though. Haven’t we shown you that enough times?”

I blushed, understanding his meaning. Thankfully, Lucas stepped in and pointed toward a raised platform. “That is the sun deck. It has a jacuzzi where you can relax,” he said.

I gasped, wide-eyed. “A jacuzzi?”

He nodded. “You seem so happy to hear that.”

“I am!” I exclaimed. “I’ll check it out later.”

I returned to the railings and resumed staring out over the water. I squealed, watching little dolphins in and out of the water.

I don’t know how long I stood there until Lucas walked up to me.

“I know you’re enjoying the view, Hazel,” he said, “But it’s quite a long trip. We should sit down and relax a bit.”

I frowned but nodded. He was right. There was no point tiring myself out when I didn’t even know what the birthday plans were yet. I might need my strength later.

“I don’t want to go below deck,” I grumbled. Suddenly another thought occurred to me. I gasped, turning to him.

“Can I go to the sun-deck jacuzzi instead?” I asked wide-eyed.

Lucas grinned. “Sure you can! Come on, I’ll take you,” he said.

“We’re coming too,” Liam said, following us quickly. Levi wasn’t too far behind.

I raised a brow at them, smirking. “Why do you have to come with me? Don’t you have anything else to do?”

“When you’re around, you’re the only thing we want to do,” Levi said jokingly, winking at me.

I blushed, laughing. They all followed me to the jacuzzi. I didn’t bring any swim trunks but thankfully, I brought the extra underwear so I had no issue stripping down to my underwear and getting into the jacuzzi.

Trousers and shirts landed on the floor behind me as the triplets jumped in too. It was a tight fit with all four of us in at the same time.

The water bubbled around us, sending steam wafting around me like a blanket. I leaned against the smooth edge of the jacuzzi, soaking it in.

Liam’s strong hands slid over my shoulders and began to massage them. I let myself melt into his touch. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Levi began to trace small circles inside my thigh. If we weren’t already sitting in water, I’d have been wet down there.

My hand swam through the water to Lucas’ dick. It was already hard and throbbing for me. I let out a small breath, licking my lips.
