The Royal Triumvirate

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Alex

Alex furiously assaulted the punching bag in front of her. She had found a gym designed for supernatural members. Thinking about what had occurred this morning at school, she growled angerly.

Dana hadn't stop texting and calling her all weekend. She didn't care to hear more of their falsehoods. Then when she got to the school, Dana's witch friend Celestine approached her.

"Xander," Celestine snarled. "I'm only doing this because Dana asked me too. And she's my best friend. I would do anything for her. Like driving to a town an hour away because she forgot her glasses, for example. Anyway, tonight is the full moon..."

"I know," Alex said coolly with a raised eyebrow. Celestine scowled at her.

"And, you need to take this tonight before the moon rises," Celestine handed her a small capsule in a little baggy.

"I don't take drugs," Alex said firmly.

"It's not that kind of drug," Celestine snapped. "It's medicine. Just take it and go to sleep." Alex stilled wasn't convinced so Celestine continued. "Relax you'll still wake up in the morning," then she muttered under her breath. "Unfortunately."

"Why should I take this?" Alex asked irritated. Alex had felt hot all day and wasn't in the mood to deal with people.

"Trust me if it was up to me. I'd let you suffer. But Dana still cares for you. So just take the damn medicine."

"Suffer what?" Alex asked confused but Celestine just stormed off. Then when Alex got to class, she tried to sit somewhere else that wasn't beside Reina, but Grace made her go and sit in her assigned seat anyway.

"Alex, please. I really am sorry about what happened on Saturday. Please, will you just talk to Dana and I. We've been looking into your concerns about the outreach centers." Reina whispered but Alex just ignored her. Only speaking when it was about their project and nothing else.

"See you at lunch?" Reina asked hesitantly when the bell rang but Alex was already halfway to the door. When lunch rolled around, Alex hid in the library to avoid her mates. Grace found her in there, reading a book on the history of werewolves.

"What are you doing in here?" Grace demanded leaning on the table that Alex was sitting at. "Why aren't you with your," she hesitated on what to call Reina and Dana, "...friends?"

"We're not friends," Alex said not looking up from the book.

"Alex," Grace's tone was disbelieving. "Friends don't look at each other, the way you and those girls do."

Alex slammed the book shut, "And how exactly do we look at each other?!" She snapped.

Grace, slightly taken aback at the venom in her foster daughters voice, answered calmly, "like you mean the whole world to each other. I've never seen you so happy as when you were with those girls."

"Well they lied to me," Alex muttered. "They didn't tell who they were really were. Their affection was all just a lie."

Grace sighed and sat down across from Alex, "no one can fake that look. The look that says the sun rises and falls with your smile. Whatever, you think the lie was... their affection for you most certainly wasn't it. They love you."

Alex laughed bitterly, "no one will love me."

"Alex," Grace started but was interrupted by the bell. Alex left before Grace could speak. The rest of day passed with Alex avoiding her mates. After school, she went to the gym where she spent the next few hours. With a violent punch, Alex snapped back to the present. And crossing her arms, she leaned against the bag. Her forehead resting on her crossed arms. She felt so hot.

"Hey, rogue! I'm closing up soon. You better finish up!" The gym's owner, a werewolf, shouted at her. Alex waved him off and headed to the locker room. Alex exercised in a black under armor long-sleeved shirt with a loosed black tank top over it, a pair of basketball shorts, and a pair of Nikes. Grabbing her bag, Alex headed out. She considered using the showers, seeing as she was the only one in the woman's locker room so her unique anatomy wouldn't be noticed. However, her dick kept straining against its bindings and she felt so hot and wet. In frustration she punched the wall. Groaning she clutched her hand and stormed out the gym and went home.

Alex groaned as the cold water hit her. The closer it got to nighttime, the hornier she felt. She's never felt like this before. When she got home, she had quickly rushed to the shower ignoring her foster family. Her dick had sprung to life, the moment she released it. She panted weakly, trying to avoid touching it. Alex never masturbated when the others were home. To keep them from discovering her secret. While it was sorely tempting to do so now, she resisted and managed to finish her shower. Besides, her hand from when she punched the wall was starting to turn purple. The shower managed to temporally soothe her body, but she still felt so hot. Getting dressed in her typical pajamas, she went downstairs. Only to grab a bottle of water before rushing back upstairs. Grace had tried talking to her, but the words felt distant to Alex and she made her escape as soon as possible. As soon as she entered her room, Alex collapsed on the bed.

"Mates," Xandara murmured. She had been quietly whimpering for them on and off all day. Alex didn't respond. She's been missing them as well. Maybe she had overreacted.

Alex groaned. The heat in her body was growing unbearable. She needed...

She needed...

She didn't know what she needed. Sitting up on her bed, Alex remembered the pill that Celestine had given her.

"Well, I've got nothing left to lose," she muttered before swallowing it with a swig of water. The pill worked quickly, calming her urges, and so she fell into a deep sleep.
