Chapter 169 - Bullied Mate Of The Alpha Triplets

Ember's POV

Everyone around us cheered and clapped, and it was one of my happiest memories with Lucas. He took me home, and we a made out and had intense sex as usual.

His parents were so happy and excited, and his mom participated actively in the wedding planning. I also invited Zealina and her mom to help plan, as they were like my own family.

Zealina's mom, Mary, was over the moon with joy. She acted like my real mom throughout the entire process, and both Zealina and her dad were also very supportive. The day came sooner than I expected, and The Alpha himself was walking me down the aisle.

I tried not to tear up as I didn't want to ruin my makeup. It was the perfect wedding, just like I'd always dreamed of—one with just close families and friends, a simple yet classic wedding.

We took our vows and were pronounced husband and wife. It was one of the happiest days of my life. That night, Lucas showed me a whole new world. He touched me in ways only a husband would touch his wife, and the rest of the days after had been utter bliss.

Both Caleb and Tristen were absent from our wedding, and they both apologized. While Tristen wasn't ready to come back to the pack, as he still had bitter memories and was healing, Caleb had an important match, and as the star player and one of the most essential teammates there, he couldn't miss it.

He felt terrible he couldn't attend our wedding and sent a whole bunch of gifts and apologies. We were very understanding, and both Lucas and I forgave him, although it took weeks of begging and sending gifts to get his mom to forgive him as well.

Zealina also ended up with Ernest, and he proposed a few weeks later, and they were now engaged.

I couldn't wait to help Zealina plan her wedding and be there by her side for her as she was during my wedding.

"Babe, the bath is ready," Lucas said, snapping me out of my thoughts. I smiled and got up, not bothering to cover myself as he had already seen and touched every part of me.

"I'll be in my office," Lucas said to me and placed a kiss on my forehead before leaving the room. I stepped into the bathtub; it was perfect. It was the ideal temperature, just how I liked it. Lucas knew everything I wanted and everything I didn't. He was perfect in every single way.

A few days ago, the Alpha had made a shocking announcement. He was retiring as an Alpha and crowning the boys as the new leaders of the pack. This has wholly taken everyone off guard, as most Alphas would never willingly step down, and their positions would typically be passed to their children after their deaths.

It turns out that Luna Anna was also in support of this idea, and it made Lucas so happy. He had been working with his father for years, learning the ways of the Alpha and how to tackle and solve pack problems. He followed his father to every meeting, and I could see the wonderful man he was becoming.

Lucas chose to stay back in the pack while his brothers chased their dreams. It made both me and his parents proud of him. But technically his career choice didn’t demand for him to move so he wasn’t actually sacrificing stuff.

The news quickly reached Caleb and Tristen, and they would return to the pack immediately. Coincidentally, they had a match here back at the pack and were planning on returning.

The Alpha thought it was the perfect time to crown them, and today was the day. The boys would be returning home after five years. I was nervous and excited, and although Lucas acted nonchalantly, I could tell he also couldn't wait to see his brothers.

I got out of the tub and got dressed. I walked around the pack house, making sure everything was in order, and I bumped into the Luna Anna..

"Hi, Mom," I greeted with a smile. Over the years, Luna Anna and I had grown closer, and she had even begged me to call her mom and apologize for how cold she was years ago. I, of course, forgave her and was more than happy to have another mother figure, other than Mary, in my life.

"Oh, Ember," She called, looking surprised. She was dressed in really fancy clothes as she walked around impatiently.

"You must be so nervous," I commented, and she chuckled.

"Well, I haven't seen my sons in five years; yes, I am nervous," She said, and I smiled and hugged her.

"Everyone sure is." Just as I spoke, a maid came from behind us and bowed.

"Luna, Madam Ember. The young masters have arrived," She said, and Anna gasped and rushed to the front door.

We saw Lucas standing there with Tristen and Caleb. Just like Lucas, the boys had grown taller, and Caleb had even longer hair. They both looked very fit and in great shape and were dressed in an old vintage shirt and trousers.

Caleb chuckled, pulling Lucas into a hug as he said some things I couldn't quite hear.

"Caleb, Tristen, you're here!" Anna exclaimed, and they finally noticed her.

"Mom!" Both boys dropped their bags and rushed to hug their mother. Lucas stood behind me, staring at them with a slight smile on his face, and I went to stand beside him. He looked at me and kissed my cheeks.

"They look so different. Caleb looks the same except for his now longer hair, but Tristen is like a whole different person," Lucas commented, and I nodded as I watched Anna tear up, holding her son.

"My babies are home!" She cried like a child.

"Mom! We're not babies anymore," Caleb pouted, and the Luna pulled his ears.

"Yes, you are, you'll always be my babies!" She said in a strict manner.

"You look so beautiful, Mom; you haven't aged a bit; Lucas and Dad must have been taking really good care of you," Tristen commented, and the Luna turned red, her smile widening even more.

"Oh my, you've changed a lot. How could you do this to your poor mother? You left me for five years," She said, tearing up again. I shook my head, chuckling; who knew the Luna was this dramatic?

While Tristen apologized, Caleb finally turned and noticed me. He smiled and opened his arms, and I unhesitatingly ran into it. He hugged me like a big brother would hug his sister.

"Ember, sweetheart, and I thought Mom had glowed up; look at you!" He said, and I chuckled. Both the Luna and Tristen turned to us. Tristen looked a glad to see me, he gestured for me to come closer and I walked towards him and hugged him.

"I missed you too, Tristen," I said, and he slowly hugged me back.

"How have you been, Ember? You look awesome. And you got married to my brother; congratulations to you two. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there," He spoke, and I chuckled.

"It's nothing Tris"

"Oh look, who's married and now responsible?" Caleb teased Lucas, and Lucas playfully glared at him.

"Don't push it, Caleb," He said, and we all busted out laughing.

"Come on, children, let's go get dinner and get you settled in. Tomorrow is a big day," The Luna clapped, walking away
