Jess’s POV
It was the day of the ceremony for Odette. I get woken up by all the girls storming into my room and dog-piling on me.
“Wake up girl. We need to go to the spa and get ready for tonight.” Stella said.
I groaned and tried to turn over. I absolutely HATED getting dressed up for parties, plus Odette tricked me into agreeing to actually wear a dress dress. Instead of my usual dress shirt with pants and wearing my combat boots.
“Don’t forget girl. You promised to dress a bit girly for tonight.” Odette chimed. I groaned again louder this time and the girl burst with laughter.
They finally drag me out of bed and pull me along with them to the spa. Once we were done there we went back to Odette’s room. She had planed everything out to the last detail. Including what she wanted me to wear.
I changed into the baby blue dress with spaghetti straps. It went well with my olive color skin and midnight black hair. It was kind of short for my tastes, it hung right in the middle of my thighs.
It made Odette happy that she could dress me up so I didn’t complain out loud. She was good at dressing people up because she found a dress that hugged my natural curves that would make the boys howl. The only thing I told her was no heels, so she got some black flats for me to wear.
Rose did my make up and she always complimented my blue-green eyes. She said they always seemed to sparkle like a thousand little gems mixed together.
Stella did my hair. Since it was so long now, she trimed it a bit for me and put it in a high tight ponytail. Then she curled the ponytail.
I looked at myself and was stunned. “Wow. You girls sure know how to work miracles. I don’t know when I ever looked this good.” I said still looking at the mirror.
“Girl you were already sexy, we just polished the diamond in the ruff.” Stella said and the other two agreed.
Once they were done with their looks I was shocked on how it was just a few moments before the party starts.
“Alright girls, lets get you to your mates before they come hunting for you. At least they will keep better composure in front of others than if they were to see you alone here.” I smirked while the three of them blushed.
We left to go to the party as Odette chased me for my comment and I lightly ran with my tongue hanging out at her.
Third Person POV
Just as Leo, Zero, and Hero entered the ball room they roamed their eyes looking for Alpha Raphael.
“Welcome to Thunder Mountain. I am Alpha Rapheal Colton.” Raphael shook each of the triplets hands.
“Alpha Raphael. Hello, my name is Leo Jackman and these are my brothers Zero and Hero Jackman. We are the alphas of the Raven Moon pack.”
Just then Odette came to her alpha’s side. The triplets caught a mouth watering scent from her. It smelled of coconut and ocean breeze.
“Wow Odette, that is some strong perfume you have. It smells heavenly.” Hero said with a big smile.
Odette looked puzzled for a moment. “But I’m not wearing perfume Hero. I’m allergic to perfume.”
“Maybe some of the other girls put some on and it got on your dress my love.” Raphael cooed.
Then the smell was getting stronger as a young woman in a baby blue dress was dancing with three small children. The wolves in the triplets minds were going crazy.
“Mate!” The three of them said at once.
Odette followed their line of sight and giggled. “Oh that is Jessabelle. She is one of our packs strongest female warriors. I was finally able to get into a dress for tonight. Would you like us to introduce you to her?”
“That would be lovely.” Zero said, still trying to keep his wolf, Lucifer, under control. Leo and Hero had to do the same with Fang and Loki.
Odette and Raphael lead the way over to Jessabelle and the kids with huge smiles on their faces.
Jess’s POV
I walk around the hall waiting for it to be time for the toast. I caught a few sweet scents that mixed together. Like mint and pine mixed with chocolate hazelnut and coffee. Then there was a spring citrus smell that tied them all together. It made me shiver.
“Aunty Jess. Aunty Jess.” I heard two little figures run towards me.
“Hello sweet hearts. My my, Wilson you look so handsome and Maria you look so beautiful.”
“Thank you. You look so beautiful too Aunty.” they said in unison.
Jorge came over and asked if I could hold Star for a while and I didn't mind. So I was with the kids.
“Hey since I don't have a date to dance with, would you like to dance with me Wilson, Maria, and Star.” Star let out a sweet laugh and Wilson and Maria said yes as they grabbed my dress. I was holding Star in one hand while taking turns with my free hand to twirl Wilson and Maria around as we danced.
Those sweets smells that were there before were getting stronger. Midnight was purring in the back of my mind.
“What is it Midnight? You are really happy for something?”
“Mates.” Midnight purred.
I was shocked. I have heard that some wolf’s are granted a second chance mate when rejected or their mate dies. It happens so rarely.
Wait, Midnight said ‘Mates’ as in more than one?!
I hear Odette's clear voice. I look up and behind Raphael and Odette are three men that look identical. They had to be triplets.
They were the most handsome and sexy men I have ever seen. Roy could not even come close to how good they looked. They all had deep blue eyes and black hair. They were easily 6’7 and you could clearly see a perfect 8-pack under their dress shirts.
“Jess?” Odette called while snaping her fingers to bring me back to reality.
“Sorry Odette, what did you need.” I smiled even though I was embarrassed as hell. I heard Raphael chuckling.
“These fine men that you were undressing with your eyes, are my cousins from my uncle’s wife's side of the family. The triplet alphas of the Raven Moon pack.”
I turned a red when she teased me about undressing them with my eye. I couldn’t help it because they were hot and I have never ogled any other man at first sight other than Raphael.
“Hello my dear. I am the oldest Leo Jackman. This is my brother Zero Jackman, the second oldest and our youngest brother, Hero Jackman.” His voice was so deep and husky it sent a shiver down my spine.
Wilson was getting a bit jealous that we stopped dancing and stepped up to be between me and the triplets and said. “Excuse me sirs, but if you wanna dance with Aunty Jess you have to wait until me, Maria, and Star are done dancing with her. She was our date first.”
He tried to keep the straightest face possible that even Raphael couldn’t hold in his laugh. We all burst out laughing and then the youngest of the triplets bent down to Wlison’s level.
“So after you guys are done dancing with your beautiful date, may my brothers and I borrow her to we can dance with her as well and get to know her.” he sounded so playful that Maria came closer to him.
“Do you want to be Aunty Jess’s friends?” she was still so innocent and honest.
“Yes sweetie we wanna be real good friends with your aunt.” Zero chimed in and winked at me.
I blushed, just as Ryan, Rose, Jorge, and Stella came over.
“Thanks for watching the kids for a little bit Jess. We finally got the lounge all set up for them to play there until the party is over.” Ryan said.
Wilson was not happy. “What? But daddy I’m Aunty Jess’s date tonight. I’m not suppose to leave her side.” he pouted.
I giggled as I handed Star back to Jorge. “Tell you what Wilson. If you do what mommy and daddy ask of you tonight, then tomorrow during the tournament lunch break I will make your favorite dish and we can have a lunch date with everyone. How does that sound?” I asked Wilson for a minute and then whispered in Maria’s ear.
She nodded her head and then Wilson looked at me and said “That is a good deal Aunty Jess.” Everyone smiled.
The kids left with their parents and I turned back to the triplets.
“So if your a warrior are you going to compete in the tournament tomorrow?” Zero asked and I smiled and said, “Of course I am. I am not giving anyone my top spot unless they earn it.”
“That is true. Jess is the number one female fighter in our pack. She has even been going toe to toe with me during sparing traning. Though I win most if the time.” Raphael said with a challenging smirk.
I looked at Rapheal and asked “Are you challenging me again Mr. Alpha.”
Odette went between us and said, “Ok, ok. I know you two love to challenge and play around, but not tonight. Besides I think Jess is going to be a bit more busy later on tonight with the boys here.” She winked at me while sticking her tongue out at me and started to run away.
“ODETTE!” I yelled as I chased after her. She knew damn well I have never even had my first kiss, let alone went to bed with a man.
Raphael is double over laughing as my mates were confused.
