Fated Mate to the Triplet Alpha
Chapter 57: The New Alpha’s Choice

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: The New Alpha’s Choice

"Hello, sons," Marcus said with a voice that no longer sounded fully human. "Daddy’s home." Kael stepped forward, his silver eyes blazing with anger. "You’re not our father anymore." Marcus laughed, a sound like breaking glass. "Oh, but I am. And I’ve brought a friend to meet the family." Thorne smiled, showing fangs that gleamed in the cave’s mystical light. "Such a touching meeting. Too bad it will be the last one." "The children," Elara ordered, her power crackling around her like silver lightning. "Where are they?" "Safe," Thorne answered smoothly. "For now. But their safety relies on your cooperation, little Luna." "Don’t listen to him," Ronan growled, going to Elara’s side. "Actually, you should," Marcus said, his green-glowing eyes fixed on his boys. "Because I’m about to make this very simple for everyone." He raised his hand, and dark energy shot toward the pack members.

Everyone scattered as the cave wall exploded where they’d been stood. "Marcus is fully under Thorne’s control now," Margaret whispered hurriedly to Kael. "The curse has consumed him completely." "Then we break it," Kael said through hard teeth. "You can’t," Margaret answered sadly. "He picked this willingly. He made a new deal with Thorne to save his own life." "Coward," Darian spat. "Actually, quite smart," Thorne amended. "Marcus gets to live forever as my helper. His kids get to watch their mate die slowly. Everyone wins except you." "Over my dead body," Kael growled. "That can be arranged," Marcus said coldly. "Stand down, Kael. You’re no longer Alpha of this pack." "Wrong." Kael’s voice boomed through the cave with power that made the stones tremble. "You abandoned your position the moment you betrayed our people." He turned to face the gathered pack members. "By the ancient laws, I challenge Marcus Blackwood for leadership of the Blackwood Pack." "You can’t challenge someone who’s already dead inside," Thorne laughed. "Watch me," Kael answered. What happened next shocked everyone. Instead of attacking Marcus, Kael knelt on one knee in front of Elara. "Elara Moon," he said loudly enough for everyone to hear. "I claim you as my equal, not my servant. As co-Alpha, not Luna." "What are you doing?" Ronan demanded. "Changing everything," Kael answered without taking his eyes off Elara. "The old ways got us into this mess. Time for new ones." "You can’t make an omega into an Alpha," Marcus sneered. "It’s impossible." "She’s not an omega," Kael said strongly. "She’s a Moon Alpha. The most powerful wolf living. And I’m making her my equal in every way." "Kael," Elara whispered, tears in her eyes. "You don’t have to—" "Yes, I do," he interrupted. "I was wrong before. About everything. You’re not beneath me or any of us. You’re beyond us. And it’s time the pack knew it." He stood and faced the others. "By my power as the rightful Alpha, I name Elara Moon as co-leader of the Blackwood Pack. All in favor?" "Aye," Ronan said instantly. "Aye," Darian added without delay. One by one, every pack member stated their agreement. Even Celeste nodded her approval. "This is ridiculous," Marcus shouted. "I’m still Alpha here!" "No," came a new voice from the cave opening. "You’re not."

Everyone turned to see a group of elder pack members entering, lead by Elder Thomas. "We heard everything through the radio transmission," Thomas stated. "Marcus Blackwood, you are hereby stripped of your Alpha title for treason, conspiracy, and endangering pack members." "You have no authority—" Marcus began. "We have every authority," Thomas cut him off. "The Council of Elders unanimously votes to recognize Kael Blackwood as the new Alpha." "And Elara Moon as co-Alpha," Elder Sarah added firmly. Thorne’s face twisted with rage. "Enough games. I didn’t come here for pack politics." He lunged toward Elara with supernatural speed, but something incredible happened. The triplets moved as one, their mate bond forming a silver shield that stopped Thorne mid-attack. "Impossible," he hissed. "Love makes the impossible possible," Margaret said with happiness. "That’s what you never understood, vampire." "Then I’ll simply kill them all," Thorne snarled. "Try it," Kael dared, his Alpha power blazing. What followed was unlike any fight they’d ever seen. Thorne and Marcus hit together, their combined dark energy tearing through the cave. But the triplets and Elara fought as a unit, their powers perfectly coordinated. Kael’s strategic mind guided their movements. Ronan’s fierce protectiveness boosted their strength. Darian’s hidden feelings finally broke free, adding raw power to their bond. And Elara? She became something beyond a Moon Alpha. She became their rock, their center, their heart.

"This ends now," she stated, silver fire erupting from her hands. "Yes, it does," Thorne agreed. "With your death." He pulled out a strange rock that pulsed with dark energy. "The blood of three Moon Alpha children, frozen and concentrated. One drop will kill you instantly." "The children!" Elara gasped. "Oh, they’re still alive," Thorne smiled cruelly. "But they won’t be for long if you don’t surrender." "Don’t do it," all three triplets said at once. "I have to," Elara answered, stepping forward. "Wait," Darian said suddenly. "Something’s wrong." "What?" Ronan asked. "Look at the crystal. Really look at it." Everyone focused on the dark rock in Thorne’s hand. It was pulsing, but not with evil force. "That’s not Moon Alpha blood," Margaret breathed in wonder. "That’s... something else." "What is it?" Kael asked. Before anyone could answer, the crystal started to crack. "No!" Thorne screamed, but it was too late. The crystal broke, releasing not darkness but brilliant silver light. The light took shape, making three small figures. "The children," Celeste whispered in awe. "They’re made of pure Moon Alpha energy." "Impossible," Marcus growled. "We saw them. We captured them." "You captured projections," came a young voice from the cave entrance. Everyone turned to see three children walking in, very much living and unharmed. "We’re not powerless," the oldest one, a girl about nine, said proudly. "We just let you think we were." "We’ve been tracking you for weeks," the seven-year-old boy added. "Waiting for the right moment to help," the youngest, a five-year-old girl, finished. "Help how?" Elara asked, stunned. "Like this," all three children said together. They joined hands, and suddenly the cave filled with the most powerful Moon Alpha energy anyone had ever felt. It was pure, untainted, and absolutely devastating to beings of darkness.

Thorne screamed as the energy hit him. His vampire form began to disappear. "This isn’t over!" he shrieked as he faded. "I’ll return! I’ll always return!" "No," Elara said strongly. "You won’t." She reached out and grabbed the fading vampire’s essence. Silver fire erupted from her touch, not just destroying Thorne but completely erasing his presence from reality itself. "It’s done," she whispered, falling to her knees. Marcus, no longer supported by Thorne’s power, crumpled to the ground. His eyes cleared for a moment, showing the father they remembered. "I’m sorry," he whispered to his kids. "I was so afraid of losing control that I lost everything that mattered." Then his eyes closed forever. In the aftermath, as everyone caught their breath, Kael made another statement that shocked them all. "The Blackwood Pack is disbanding," he said softly. "What?" everyone shouted. "We’re making something new. Something better. A coalition of free wolves, led by equals, not masters." "And what do we call this new coalition?" Derek asked. Kael looked at Elara, then at his brothers, then at all the brave souls who had stood with them. "The Moon Guard," he said with a smile. "Protectors of all supernatural beings, not just werewolves." "I like it," Ronan grinned. "It has potential," Darian agreed. "But first," Elara said, standing up with increased strength, "we have work to do." "What kind of work?" Tobias asked. "Thorne wasn’t the only threat out there," she responded ominously. "The children showed me something when they shared their power." "What?" everyone asked. "There are others. Other creatures like Thorne.

Other threats to magical beings everywhere." "How many others?" Kael asked. "Seven more," the oldest kid said solemnly. "Each one more dangerous than the last." "And they’re all coming here," the youngest added. "Why here?" Margaret asked. "Because," Elara said, her silver eyes starting to glow with new power, "killing Thorne sent out a signal to every dark creature on Earth." "What kind of signal?" Ronan asked, though he feared the answer. "That the Moon Alpha is awake. That the most powerful magical being in existence is ready to fight." "And they want to test themselves against that power," Darian finished grimly. "When?" Kael asked. "Soon," all three children said together. "Very soon." Outside the cave, seven shooting stars appeared in the night sky, each one headed straight for Earth. "They’re not shooting stars," Elara whispered, watching through the cave opening. "What are they?" Celeste asked. "Our next challenge," Elara replied. "And this time, we’ll be ready."

But as she spoke, her silver glow flickered and faded. Using so much power to destroy Thorne had cost her more than she’d realized. "Elara?" Kael said quickly, catching her as she swayed. "I’m fine," she insisted, but her voice was weak. "No, you’re not," Margaret said with increasing alarm. "Destroying a Bloodline Drinker takes a terrible toll. You need time to recover." "How much time?" Ronan asked. "More than we have," Margaret answered, looking at the approaching lights in the sky. "Then we fight without full power," Darian said grimly. "Against seven beings more dangerous than Thorne?" Derek asked. "That’s suicide." "Maybe," Kael admitted. "But it’s also our job now. We’re the Moon Guard. We protect everyone, no matter the cost." "Even if it kills us?" Sarah asked quietly. "Especially then," Elara said, her resolve returning despite her weakness.

The seven lights grew brighter, closer, more frightening. "Whatever’s coming," Kael said, pulling Elara close while his brothers flanked them, "we face it together." "Together," everyone agreed. But as the first light touched the sky, a new voice echoed through the cave. Ancient, powerful, and utterly scary. "The Moon Alpha lives," it said with pleasure. "How delightfully unexpected. This will be much more fun than I expected." The voice laughed, a sound like the world ending. "See you soon, little Luna. I have such great plans for you."
