Book1 Chapter17 Ethans P.O.V. At Emmas words , the Alphas lost control of their wolves with the mention of their mate in danger and all hell broke loose a second time today . WHAT ! roared the Alphas with their wolves at the forefront . They lunged at Emma as if attacking her would help get mom back . Jackson , I and surprisingly Blake growled at them . I was confused at first why Blake growled but then I realized that Alice was in front of Emma . To get to Emma , they would have to go through his mate . I am worried about the outcome of this battle . I dont know if we can stand against two enraged Alphas . I might have Alpha blood , but that might now be enough . I mind link Emma and Jackson , We need a plan quickly ! No shit , Sherlock ! she retorts . I roll my eyes , This is not the time for an argument ! Jackson observes , We need to calm down their wolves . Pity , Jackson and I dropped our guns during the chase with the Hunters . The darts full of wolfsbane would help us out here . I comment . I see Emmas eyes go big before she says , I still have mine . Then , why didnt you pull it out ?! I yell at her . The Alpha twins were posturing , trying to get their Beta to submit . Meanwhile , Blake was trying to give us more time . She blushes and says , It is in a rather unfortunate place . Well look away if that makes it better , proposes Jackson . Just hurry the fuck up ! I say as I turn around to protect her from everyones view . I cut off the mind link and once more focused on the fight . Suddenly , I hear six consecutive pops and the twin Alphas fall down like a light with three darts in each of them . Blake runs to his Alphas side . He looks up at us angry . What did you do to them ? demands Blake . I raise my hands in defense of myself , They will be fine . They just got dosed with enough 1/5 wolfsbane to knock them out for a day . But with their anger and the fact that they are in wolf form , we need to have a plan in about two hours , adds Emma . Jackson is quiet , going back to being a silent presence . What do we do then ? Alice asks . Emma answers , There can be no we right now . You and Blake need to take control of your pack and reassure them after the scene I caused . When the Alphas wake , their human aspects will be in control and as their daughter , they will not be able to hurt me . If they wish to get their mate back , us triplets are their best shot . You need to go , I emphasize as neither Blake nor Alice moves . They listen to me the second time as I am technically the future Alpha with my brother , Jackson . Emma already told us she wanted to inherit the Smith Organization and keep that going instead . Once they are gone , I turn to Emma , Do you believe what you told them ? Sort of , she mutters , It might work . Sounds so encouraging , I say sarcastically . Oh shut up ! Its not lik you have any bright ideas either , she retorts . Jackson chuckles and we both turn to glare at him . Emma asks , Whats so funny ? The fact that no matter what you two will still bicker . I mean we have two unconscious Alpha werewolves who happen to be our fathers lying at our feet and will wake up in a murderous rage yet here we are with both of you arguing , he explains . That stumps both Emma and I , so we dont answer , but rather turn our attention of the limp bodies of our fathers . Not that we have any more idea of what to do here either . Jackson says , I am going to call Josh and Chris to explain the situation and to tell them that if I dont call them in 24 hours , we are in trouble . He left the room with no further words to go look for a telephone . I ask Emma , Well , do you want to play Monopoly ? She nods . I mean it is not like we can do anything else for two hours . If we tie them up , their wolves will freak when the Alphas regain consciousness . If we do anything really , it wont end well . And if I am going to die , I will beat Emma at Monopoly one more time . We settle down for two hours of playing . Jackson comes back in after 30 minutes and looks at us strangely . 2/5 I question him , What did Josh and Chris say ? They told me that if we do not call , they will call the werewolf King and Council down on them to get us free and for more help with the Hunters . They probably wont help with the Hunters , but it would get us free at least , Jackson tells me . I nod and Jackson sits down next to me . He joined our Monopoly game . We must have made a strange sight . On one side of the room , there was two unconscious Alpha twins and the other three triplets who ressemble those Alphas playing Monopoly . Very strange . * Two 1/2 hours later * We were on our second game of Monopoly when they woke up . The twin Alphas came up growling , but at least they were in human form . Under Emmas suggestion, we ignored them and continued to play the game . A couple minutes later , Alpha Ryder asked , Did we do any damage this time ? I was confused , but didnt show it , Not really , scared a lot of people and tried to eat us , but your Beta and Beta female are doing damage control as we speak . What is the last thing you remember ? Alpha Asher is the one to answer , I unstable ever since the unfortunate disappearance of our mate . I dont remember anything after lunging at your sister here . am sorry if we caused you any harm . Our wolves have been Alpha Ryder gets up and We have says , to go . Sorry for any inconvenience . During this entire exchange , they hadnt once looked at our faces . Their heads were down in shame of losing control . They must have some serious problems if they cannot remember what happened . Emma with a voice much like our moms said , If you would look at our faces , much would make more sense . I apologize for riling you up with the mention of your mate . At her words , they look at her and are shocked . They take a step forward , Ava ? I have a very big sense of deja vu . Not Ava , daughter of Ava . Look at my brothers to know our fathers , she states . With Emmas musical voice , there is no even a hint of anger or threat , Emma always had the ability to make every relax around her except when she was angry . I can see the exact moment when the realization that they are our fathers hits them in the face . They collapse from the shock . 3/5 I decide that this moment is as good as any to tell them about mom , We are here because we were attacked in the forest . Mom is captured by Hunters and- Alpha Ryder raises his hand in sign for me to stop . I do because I was curious as to why he had done that . Alpha Ryder muttered , I remember . My wolf gave it all back to me to help save our mate . We remember . I smile , Thank God I dont have to repeat everything . Its time to talk to make a plan .
