The Triplets of Emerald Forest

Chapter 6 Griffin

For once in my life, being the youngest was going to serve me well and I wasn't about to let go of that advantage. Ric and Gabe always made me sit in the back seat and now, all of the sudden, they wanted to change that? I didn't think so. I pulled Harlow into my lap and ran my fingers soothingly through her hair.

"If she wakes up to you doing that she's going to freak out." Ric said, turning around in his seat to watch me.

"She's going to freak out regardless." I snapped back without looking away from my adorable mate's face.

"She won't wake up for hours anyway." Gabe said,

"Hours?" I was suddenly concerned about how much sedative he gave Harlow.

"At least eight hours according to Dr. Moreson." Gabe replied.

"You had Moreson make up the sedative? Can he even still see the numbers on the syringe?" I squeaked. Gabe shook his head at me in the rearview mirror.

"We want her to sleep through the trip, right?" Gabe grumbled.

"Yeah, the trip, not the entire day." I mumbled back.

"Where is she going to stay?" Ric asked, ignoring our argument.

"I said on our floor." Gabe hated repeating himself almost as much as he hated being called by one of our names.

"Which room specifically?" Ric sighed.

"All the rooms are exactly the same besides our suites and the master suite." Gabe said,

We had designed the new packhouse as an oasis for the ranked families. In the past, each of the ranked families had their own modest house, which worked fine for the size of our pack then. But, with the three of us, we needed more space. So, we decided to construct a grand four story packhouse mansion for us, the Beta, and the Gamma families.

The second floor housed the three Beta families in three separate suites that included a master suite for the Beta and their mate, a full kitchen, living room, and four guest rooms for their future children. The third floor was for the Gamma along with visiting ranked members. The Gamma had a suite for him and his mate, a kitchen, living room, and four bedrooms as well. Separated from the Gamma's apartment were several extra bedrooms for high ranking visitors.

The top floor had three master suites for my brothers and I which included a bedroom, office, and bathroom. Then, there was an extra large suite for the three of us to share with our mate that included the same amenities. There were four bedrooms for our future children, 3 separate living areas, and a small kitchen.

The first floor of the packhouse had a kitchen, dining room, living room, multimedia room, and three Alpha offices, three Beta offices, a Gamma office, and a Luna office for our official business. Larger meetings and gatherings of the minds were held at the office building in the center of the packgrounds.

"She should get the master suite while we all stay in our rooms." I replied after a few moments of silence.

"I agree. She deserves the best and we'll all move in there eventually anyway." Ric nodded his head.

"It's settled then. We'll send some of the girls to her apartment later today to pack up some of her stuff." Gabe agreed.

"Shit, I didn't even think about that." I immediately felt guilty about kidnapping our mate all over again.

"We'll just buy her whatever she wants." Ric shrugged casually.

"Oh sure, she'll love that." I scoffed.
