Triplet Alphas Claim Chapter 46
Phera POV:
The morning found me in the midst of training the pack's warriors, a task that I had grown to cherish. The training ground was alive with the sounds of exertion and determination, each warrior pushing their limits under my guidance. The sense of purpose and strength in these moments was something that grounded me, especially amidst the recent challenges.
In the midst of demonstrating a combat maneuver, I noticed Newmara approaching the training grounds. She had a purposeful stride and a mischievous glint in her eyes that I had come to recognize. Sensing that our training session was about to be interrupted, I called a halt.
"Alright, everyone, I announced, "that's enough for today. Great work. Well pick this up again tomorrow."
As the warriors dispersed, Newmara came up to me, her expression a mix of excitement and impish curiosity.
"So, big day today, huh? Getting ready for your date with Damon?"
I chuckled, wiping the sweat from my brow with the back of my hand.
"Yes, it seems so. It's just a date, Newmara, no need to make a big deal out of it."
laughter was light and teasing.
"Just a date? With one of your mates? Come on, Phera, this is huge! You need to get ready, and I'm here to help."
I rolled my eyes playfully but couldn't hide my own budding excitement. "Alright, alright. I suppose getting a bit of help wouldn't hurt."
As we walked back to our house, Newmara was full of questions and suggestions.
What are you going to wear? Do you know where he's taking you? You have to tell me everything!"
"I haven't decided on the outfit yet," I admitted, feeling a bit overwhelmed." And no, Damon hasn't revealed anything about where we're going. He said it's a surprise."
Newmara clapped her hands excitedly.
"A surprise date! That's so romantic. We need to find you the perfect outfit. Something that makes you feel beautiful and confident."
Once inside our home, Newmara ushered me to my room and began rummaging through my wardrobe, pulling out various options.
"How about this dress? Or maybe this one? Oh, you look stunning in this color!"
I tried on a few dresses under Newmara's critical eye until we found one that we both agreed was perfect. It was elegant yet comfortable, striking the right balance for an unknown surprise.
As Newmara helped me with my hair and makeup, our conversation drifted to more personal matters.
"You know, Phera, despite everything that's happened, I'm really happy for you. You and the triplets... it's like you were meant to be."
Her words warmed my heart.
"Thanks, Newmara. It means a lot, especially coming from you."
She smiled, a touch of sisterly affection in her gaze.
"Just remember, you deserve this happiness. Don't let the past hold you back."
I nodded, taking in her advice.
"I won't. It's a new chapter, right?"
"Exactly," Newmara replied, finishing up my hair. "Now, you look absolutely stunning. Damon won't know what hit him."
As I looked at myself in the mirror, I felt a surge of excitement mixed with nerves. The date with Damon was more than just an evening out; it was a step towards understanding and deepening the unique bond we shared. Newmara hugged me, her presence a comforting reminder of family and support.
"Go and enjoy yourself, Phera. You deserve every bit of happiness."
Just then, we heard a knock at the front door, signaling Damon's arrival. My heart skipped a beat as Newmara winked at me.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"It's showtime."
Taking a deep breath to steady my nerves, I prepared to step out and meet Damon, ready to embrace whatever the evening had in store for us.
Before I could open the door to greet Damon, Newmara's hand gently caught my arm, halting me. Her expression had shifted from the earlier playfulness to a more serious, reflective
"Phera, there's something I've been meaning to say to you."
I turned towards her, intuitively sensing the depth of what was to come.
"What is it, Newmara?"
She took a deep breath, her gaze locked with mine, brimming with
sincerity and a hint of vulnerability.
"First, I want to apologize again for my role in everything that happened all those years ago. I know I've said it before, but I need you to know how deeply sorry I am. My actions hurt you, and that's something I deeply regret and live with every day."
Her words struck a chord within me, reopening old wounds but also allowing for the possibility of deeper healing.
"Newmara, it was a difficult time for all of us. I've been working on letting go of the past... and I want you to know, I forgive you. Truly."
A look of relief washed over her face, coupled with a warmth that only a sister's bond could bring.
"Thank you, Phera. That means more than you know."
She continued, her hand still holding mine.
"And there's something else. As your sister, I think maybe it's time to fully embrace what you have with Damon, Axel, and Zane. The bond of being marked and mated is special, Phera. It's more than a tradition or a ceremony. It's a connection of souls, a binding of hearts."
Her words resonated with me, echoing the feelings and thoughts I had wrestled with internally.
"I know it's special, and I don't take it lightly. It's just... it's a big step, and I want to be sure. Sure of myself and the bond."
"I understand," Newmara said, her eyes soft with empathy. "But remember, sometimes, it's the leaps of faith that bring us to the most beautiful destinations. They love you deeply, Phera, and it's evident in every look, every touch. Don't let fear hold you back from experiencing something extraordinary."
Her reassurance and support were like a balm to my soul.
"I'll keep that in mind. Thank you, Newmara, for everything."
She smiled, her usual playfulness returning.
"Just remember to follow your heart, sis. It always knows the way."
With those parting words, she gave me a quick hug and left, allowing me to open the door to Damon, who was waiting with a look of anticipation. His eyes widened as he saw me, a genuine expression of awe on his face.
"Phera, you look absolutely breathtaking," he said, his voice a mix of
admiration and affection.
Blushing slightly, I replied,
"Thank you, Damon. You're looking quite handsome yourself."
As we walked to his car, I felt a whirlwind of emotions - excitement for the date, appreciation for Newmara's heartfelt words, and a deepening sense of connection to Damon, Axel, and Zane. Tonight was more than just a date; it was a step towards understanding and possibly embracing the full extent of our bond.
Damon's presence by my side was comforting and exhilarating, his every touch sending shivers of anticipation through me. The drive was filled with light-hearted banter and laughter, the ease between us a testament to our growing bond.
Arriving at our destination, I realized the night held promises of new beginnings and deeper connections. Newmara's words echoed in my mind, nudging me towards embracing the love and potential of what Damon, Axel, and Zane and I could have together. The night was ours, a canvas to be painted with the colors of love, trust, and perhaps, a new chapter of our lives.
