Chapter 48


    Chapter 48: Family Third Person


    The triplets darted through the castle in their wolf forms trying to pick up Chasity’s scent or find a way


    to go down. They returned to the dining room with the huge dining table where they had first smelled


    Chasity. Calix noticed something. There was a huge printed rug between the dining table and the


    firece. The print was a fox opening its jaws to reveal many beautiful women inside looking forlorn.


    Calix gripped the edge of the rug with his teeth and pulled. His brothers helped him move the rug.


    There was a trap door underneath!


    Chasity’s POV


    The snake that had sprung at the Deidre lookalike pierced her neck with its fangs. Deidre shrieked and


    tried to remove it but the snake wastched onto her neck. The snake be limp but still clung to the


    supermodel. Deidrey still, crumpled on the ground for a few seconds before her body started to


    twitch. The snake fell off of her neck and turned to dust. Deidre’s entire form began to glow an ethereal


    silvery white. I gasped. The other snakes approached me tentatively. I scrambled away from them just


    in case though they seemed friendly. The glowing Deidre opened her mouth and her eyes. I covered


    my mouth in shock. Her eyes were stark white, rolled back in her head and out of her mouth coalesced


    a silvery shimmering white smoke that formed the shape of the white fox. It was not solid though,


    merely spirit. The essence of the fox. It shrieked as it zoomed away rushing out of sight. The whole


    ce began to quake. Oh no!


    Third Person


    The three wolves ran through a maze like underground mansion searching for their mate. They came


    across two wounded girls. Alex shifted so he could talk to them.


    “What happened?” He asked the girls. “Do you girls know our mate, Chasity?!”


    Alex’s eyes were wide pleading with the girls. The girls both blushed averting their eyes from Alex’s


    naked form.


    One girl was cradling the more injured one in her arms. The gravely injured one pointed a trembling


    finger in the direction Chasity had presumably went. The girl holding her badly hurt friend spoke.


    “She’s in Madame’s bedroom. Go out into the hallway and up the stairs. Please help us!” Begged the


    girl.


    “We will,” promised Alex.


    He shifted and ran with his brothers through a long hallway with no window and very few doors. The


    walls were shaking. Dust was falling from the ceiling. They did not have much time. They found the


    flight of stairs and ascended them.


    Chasity’s POV


    Deidre was stirring. I recoiled. I wasn’t sure of the way out of here. I decided to make a run for it. I


    darted towards the door but tripped falling over. I looked back. Deidre was grasping my ankle.


    “Don’t be scared,” said Deidre, her voice sounding different.


    yanked her ankle away. “Don’t leave me and your parents please!” Begged Deidre.


    gasped. The fox spirit had fled the body after the snake bit it! “Are you…” I began.


    “The real Deidre! Yes!” Breathed Deidre. “I was trapped in that moon snake’s body and Deidre used


    mine to be famous. Your parents are in the other two snakes. We have to hurry!”


    gasped. My eyes filled with tears. I scooped up the two snakes who slithered onto a shoulder each


    “What do I do? Where are their bodies?” I asked, desperate.


    “Here! They work here. Two of Deidre’s loyal sycophants took the bodies!” Exined the real Deidre.


    “Lead me to them!” I demanded.


    “You have to help me! I haven’t walked as a human in years!” Cried Deidre.


    I let her swing an arm over me. I hoisted her up. She leant heavily on me. I barely made it to the door.


    The roof started to crumble. I hoped whoever was in my parents bodies had the sense to evacuate.


    What about June? And April? We were never gonna make it like this! Just as I neared the door, it burst


    open!


    “Alphas!” I screamed. They literally knocked me over, all three of them pouncing on me and licking my


    face. I giggled.


    “We need to get out of here!” I yelled over the sound of concrete breaking. Felix growled at Deidre.


    Alex was ready to strike. Calix snarled.


    “NO!” I yelled. “This is the real Deidre Binx! These snakes are my parents! There’s no time to exin.


    Please we have to get my parents bodies and go!”


    I knew I probably sounded delusional but to my surprise, my alphas looked like theypletely


    believed me. Felix was sniffing my tummy. He was smelling the pup.


    Deidre was ced on Alex’s back and I was on Felix’s back. Calix led the way. We ran into an older


    werewolf and two other men who were all panting.


    “Chasity!” Cried the older werewolf with tears in his eyes. Huh. Calix whimpered impatiently.


    Calix led us through the shaking underground mansion back to the dining room where Aprily gravely


    injured in June’s arms.


    “No!” I screamed. “April! June!”


    I dismounted Felix and ran to them. “We’ll help you get out of here!” April and June were hoisted onto


    Felix’s back. I joined Deidre on Alex’s back.


    “We have to get my parents’ bodies!”


    “I know where they are,” mumbled April, her voice weakening. “Their bodies are inhabited by distant


    rtives of Deidre. They live down here and help her run the school.”


    “Mr and Mrs Chalet!” Eximed June. We ran in the direction indicted by April.


    “What about all the other girls?!”I eximed “What about Maurice and Dante?!”


    Felix growled in response to the name Dante. He was so jealous for everything! He didn’t even know


    Dante!


    “Dante’s missing. He hasn’t been back for a few hours,” said June. “Maurice isn’t here right now. The


    other girls all fled as soon as they saw us heading back to the dining room to confront Madame!”


    “Are they all Foxes?” I asked.


    “Yes! But they don’t necessarily want to be snatchers. They’re not all bad! Trust me,” said June.


    “Madame gave us food and shelter. Many of use from nothing and actually do want to break into


    modelling. Madame scouted almost all of us herself, handpicking us, looking for the vulnerable.”


    April was quiet, her head lulling. I was worried about her. She had fought Madame on my behalf to


    save my pup. I owed her. She had honour.


    We made it to an office of sorts. There was a desk under which two people crouched with their arms


    flung over their heads, sheltering from the falling dust and crumbling roof. I gasped.


    “Mom! Dad!” I shrieked in spite of myself. The snakes hissed and my so-called parents growled at me,


    recoiling from me and the hissing snakes. My triplets snarled at them. Of course, these were imposters.


    My parents’ minds were still in the snakes.


    “Chasity! Let the snakes bite them!” Instructed the nervous, twitching werewolf apanying my


    alphas. Who were these three people with my alphas? I listened to him anyway.


    “Hurry, Chasity!” Eximed the older werewolf.


    “I called for backup while we were on the way,” said the youngest of the three men I didn’t know. He


    was still older than my alphas though.


    I looked at the snakes and my parents. I didn’t know which was which. I guessed. I threw the bigger


    snake at my father’s body and the smaller one at my mother’s body. The snakestched onto their


    throats and my parents’ imposters screamed trying to pull the snakes off of them. Eventually they fell


    over and the snakes turned to dust. ck smoke unfurled from the mouth of my father until a ck


    smoky fox darted through the air, disappearing. The fox spirit emanating from my mother was grey. It


    zoomed away with a shriek. My parents moaned, getting unsteadily to their feet. The nervous werewolf


    helped my Dad and the older one cradled my Mom.


    “Mom! Dad!” I screamed. I flung myself at them. My Dad caught me in shaky arms. “Dad, what are you


    doing here?” Said my Mom icoking at the older werewolf. He was my grandfather! Where had he been


    all this time?


    My Mom embraced her father as I embraced mine. I hugged my Mom tightly and my Grandpa


    “This is beautiful!” Said the young werewolf. “But let’s go!”


    We scrambled out of there, barely making it to the stairs. We ascended a staircase that led to a dining


    room. I recognised the room. I had beenying on that dining table tied up. My first bedroom during the


    ordeal was nearby and my new location was right underground. I had


    thought those people had taken me far away.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    We rushed out of the house. There was an ambnce waiting. They had been called by one of the


    men I didn’t know. They took April, June and Deidre. My parents imed they were fine. I would make


    them get check-upster. We watched as the castle fell through the earth as the underground caved in.


    Dust filled the air. I began to cough. My alphas shifted and quickly put on cloaks. I ran to them. Felix


    snatched me up.


    “I’m never letting you out of my sight ever again!” He murmured against my ear.


    Warmth engulfed me. Calix hugged me tightly. “Chasity I’ll never wink at anyone who isn’t you! I’ll join


    winkers anonymous!” I grumbled at him. “I missed you, Goddess!” Said the youngest alpha kissing my


    face over and over again. Alex enveloped me in his arms. “Luna, I was so scared I’d never see you


    again!” He whispered. Alex! Scared? I nuzzled him and then the other twoined until they were


    both nuzzled. The triplets and my mother introduced me properly to my grandfather. He cupped my


    face in his hands. “I have a room filled with presents for you, literally!” He said. Iughed.


    The young guy was the P. I., Danny, hired to assist with my missing person’s case. I thanked him and


    he smiled. The nervous guy was named Dexter. My Dad introduced him as his old best friend. I clung


    to my father. I couldn’t believe he was real. I started to cry and my father held me tightly and rubbed my


    back. My mother patted my head. I had missed out on so much with them. On the bright side, all the


    time as snakes meant they had maintained sobriety without any choice really for nine years. They said


    they knew they could keep it up. I told them I was proud of them.


    “We’re proud of you Chasity, our brave strong girl,” said my Mom. A stray tear slid down my cheek. I


    felt so loved, like the longest nightmare was over.


    “I’m pregnant,” I said to everyone though I was certain my triplets seemed to know already


    My father looked horrified. “You were a little girl thest time I saw you,” he mumbled. I blushed. “I’m


    eighteen now Dad! And the Alpha Triplets are my mates!”


    The triplets tried to hug my father but he red at them. It was their turn to have a difficult inw. My


    mother hugged the triplets.


    “Your mother must have s**t bricks when she found out my daughter was fated to you three!”


    Eximed my Mom.


    “Mom!” I said indignantly. I forgot how outspoken and honestly a bit crude she could be.


    “As if it’s not the truth,” she said. I sighed. She’s been a snake for nine years. I wasn’t about to


    comin too much regarding her frankness.


    “Let’s go home!” I told everybody. It’s not over. I have more (pleasant) surprises. Love Joanna J.
