Mated to the Triplet Alphas

Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Impossible Bonds

Third POV

“What did you just say?” Levi’s eyes widened as he stared at Callum, who remained frozen, eyes locked on the woman before him.

“She’s my mate,” Callum repeated, his voice barely above a whisper.

Levi blinked rapidly, trying to process the information. “How is this possible?”

The strange woman’s blue eyes darted between them, confusion written across her face. She was still catching her breath from the chase, her black hair disheveled and clothes torn in places. Despite her ragged appearance, her eyes were still bright.

She stared straight at Callum.

Callum was visibly conflicted. His jaw clenched and unclenched as he took a step back, then forward again, as if his body couldn’t decide whether to approach or retreat from the woman.

“I don’t understand,” he finally muttered, running a hand through his dirty blond hair. “This can’t be happening.”

The woman frowned. “What’s wrong?” Her voice was soft but clear. “You feel it too, right?”

“I do, but...” Callum’s voice trailed off, his expression pained.

Levi stepped closer, placing a firm hand on Callum’s shoulder. The last thing they needed was another complication. They were supposed to be tracking Lucas and Percival, trying to catch up with them before they reached Esther’s hideout.

“We need to figure this out quickly,” Levi said, then turned his attention to the woman. “Who are you? Why were those rogues chasing you?”

The woman stood up straighter, brushing dirt off her clothes. “My name is Kendra. I’m... I’m a rogue myself, I suppose. Though not by choice.”

“Where are you from?” Levi pressed, keeping his tone even but authoritative.

“Originally from the Redhowl Pack,” she replied.

“That’s far away,” Levi commented, eyebrows raised. The Redhowl Pack was at least three states over.

Kendra nodded. “Our pack was attacked by rogues about five years ago. I’ve been on my own ever since, moving from place to place.”

“And what were you doing here, of all places?” Levi’s eyes narrowed slightly. The timing was too convenient to be coincidence.

“I was just wandering around a nearby street when those rogues spotted me,” Kendra explained, wrapping her arms around herself. “I don’t know why, but they immediately attacked. They seemed intent on killing me, not just scaring me off their territory.”

Levi studied her face for signs of deception but found none. “Do you have enemies? Anyone who might want you dead?”

Kendra shook her head. “None that I know of. I’ve been trying to keep a low profile. I blend in with humans, never stay in one place too long. I just moved to this area a couple of weeks ago.”

Throughout the conversation, Callum had remained uncharacteristically silent. Levi could practically see the wheels turning in his friend’s mind.

Kendra’s gaze kept drifting back to Callum. She pursed her lips, her eyes remaining fixed on him. It was too easy to guess what she was thinking.

“I didn’t expect to find my mate today,” she said softly. “I’d almost given up hope.”

Callum winced at her words.

Levi caught his arm.

“Excuse us for a moment,” he said.

He pulled Callum several paces away, keeping his voice low. “What the hell is going on, Callum? How can she be your mate when Cassandra is?”

Callum ran his hands over his face. “I don’t know! But I can’t deny what I’m feeling. It’s the same pull I felt with Cassandra, maybe even stronger.”

“Is that even possible? Having two mates?”

“It shouldn’t be,” Callum hissed, frustration evident in his voice. “I thought that you guys are the exception because you’re triplets. You share a mate bond with Hazel because you’re essentially parts of the same whole. But this? This makes no sense.”

Levi frowned, thinking through the possibilities. “Could they be related somehow? Twins separated at birth or something equally dramatic?”

“Look at them,” Callum said. “Cassandra is pale with platinum blonde hair. Kendra has black hair and olive skin. They look nothing alike.”

“Distant relatives, then?” Levi suggested, though he knew he was reaching.

“Even if they were, I doubt that’s how mate bonds work.” Callum’s voice was strained. “Something is very wrong here, Levi.”

Levi couldn’t argue with that. In all werewolf history, the only times where a wolf had multiple mates had been when those mates were twins, triplets, or so on. There had never been records of two strangers sharing the same mate.

Especially two strangers who look nothing alike.

“What do you want to do?” Levi asked finally. “We need to keep moving. Lucas and Percival are still waiting for us.”

Callum glanced back at Kendra, who was watching them with worried eyes. “Maybe she should go back to Emberfang. She’d be safe there while we figure this out.”

Levi shook his head immediately. “No way. That’s too risky. We don’t know anything about her, and on the small chance that she’s a spy or something, we can’t send her back to our pack.”

“You think she could be with the Vox Solis?” Callum asked, his voice dropping even lower.

“I don’t know,” Levi admitted. “But I’m not taking chances when it comes to the pack’s safety, especially with everything that had just happened. Maybe she’s just here to break Annie out.”

“So what then?”

Levi considered their options. “She comes with us. We keep an eye on her, and maybe she can even help. If those rogues were specifically targeting her, it might be connected to what’s happening with Hazel.”

Callum nodded reluctantly. “Fine. But I’m not telling her about Cassandra yet. Not until I figure out what’s going on.”

“Your call,” Levi said, though he didn’t envy Callum’s position. “But don’t wait too long. This kind of secret has a way of blowing up spectacularly.”

They returned to Kendra, who straightened up at their approach. Her eyes immediately sought Callum’s, but he avoided direct contact.

“You’re coming with us,” Levi announced. “We’re tracking some other members of our party and can’t afford to lose any more time.”

Relief washed over Kendra’s face. “Thank you. I don’t think I’d survive another rogue attack on my own.”

“We’ll protect you,” Callum said automatically, then winced at his own words.

Levi watched the interaction with concern. The situation was growing more complicated by the minute.

All of a sudden, Levi felt an aching pang. He missed Hazel. She would know what to do or say to Callum in such a situation. If only she were here.

“Let’s get moving,” Levi said, gesturing toward their vehicle. “Lucas and Percival have enough of a head start already.”

As they walked back to the car, Levi caught Callum stealing glances at Kendra. The pull of the mate bond was undeniable—Levi knew that feeling all too well. But if Cassandra was truly Callum’s mate too, then something supernatural and potentially sinister was at play. noveldrama

And at this point, he was becoming more and more inclined to think that anything wrong was the work of the Vox Solis.

“Get in,” Levi told Kendra, opening the back door of their SUV. “We’ve got a long drive ahead and a lot of catching up to do.”

Kendra slid into the backseat, while Callum and Levi took the shotgun and driver’s seat respectively. The moment Levi started the engine, he clenched his teeth.

‘Lucas, I’m afraid that we might have a new problem.’
