Triplet Mates For Triplet Alphas

Chapter 16

Abby's POV

"What were you thinking?" Evan yells looking down at the girls and I.

"We're sorry," Brie whispers pulling me closer to her side.

"Take them to their rooms," Connor orders turning to our guards.

"It'll be okay," Hunter links as he carries me up to my room.

"Blake left me," I whisper and he sighs, setting me on the bed.

"He's pissed but he'll calm down eventually," Hunter says, "Now come on, I'll run you a bath."

Hunter carries me to the bathroom and sets me on the counter.  he runs me a hot bath with bubbles and leaves me alone to strip and get into the steaming water.  I sink into the tub, the bubbles reaching up to my neck.  I wash myself clean before stepping out and wrapping a towel around me.  I take one step forward and collapse on the floor, making sure I don't land on my stomach.  I scream and the door flies open, almost hitting me in the face.  I look up and see Hunter with a worried look on his face.

"Abby," he says, "Come on, roges are attacking."

He scoops me up with one hand while grabbing clothes for me with the other.  He runs downstairs and to the basement and through a narrow hallway where we go through several doors that need passwords.  The hall finally ends at a set of steel doors.  Hunter opens it and I look around the room.

The room is spacious with three beds.  There's a bathroom in the corner and to my left there's a pantry stocked with canned food.  Hunter sets me on the bed just as Dylan and Kyle come in with my sisters and Lexi.

"Stay here," they say in unison, "We have to guard the outer layer of doors."

I grab Hunter and give him a hug, "Be safe."

He nods and the steel doors slide shut.  I change into the clothes Hunter brought and Rina braids my wet hair.  They crowd around me, making a protective triangle.  I nod my thanks and we stay silent.  I try contacting Blake through the link but it's blocked.

"Hunter?" I link, "Hunter?"

"You okay?" he replies.

"How's everything going outside?"

"I think we're winning.  Shit Abby I'll be right back," he says before cutting the link.

"What's wrong?" Lexi asks.

"Hunter cut the link," I say and they look worried.

Suddenly we hear an explosion and the steel doors fall.  I stifle a scream and the girls tighten around me.  Four figures step through the smoke and once the smoke clears I almost pass out.

"Luke," I whisper and his head shoots over to me.

He smirks, "Hello Abigail."

"Blake!" I try linking him, "It's Luke! Luke's here, help!"

"What's wrong?" Brie links.

"He has his wall up," I link back.

"The boys' have their walls down," Rina links.

A sudden pain in my right cheek cuts me from my attempt at linking.  I turn and see my sisters and Lexi being held back by Luke's three companions.  Brie locks eyes with me and I know she's about to shift.

But it's too late.

I feel a sharp prick in my neck and I turn to see Luke with a syringe.  My world starts to fade and the last thing I hear is my sisters and Lexi screaming.  Then everything fades to black.

Brie's POV

"Abby!" I howl as Luke carries her limp form away.

Luke's friends tie gags around our mouths and tie our hands behind our backs before dropping us on the floor.  I turn to Rina and see tears in her eyes.  Lexi looks extremely pissed off and I see her body shaking.  We had told Lexi everything about Luke and she was furious.

* Flashback *

"Lexi?" Abby asks waving her hand in front of Lexi's face.

"I will kill him," she growls, "I will kill the one person who caused my luna so much harm."

* Flashback End *

"I want to kill him," Lexi links, "That bastard deserves to die."

"Connor," I link, "Connor."

"Brie," he links, "You okay?"

I start crying, "They they took her, Connor.  They took Abby."

"Didn't she try linking Blake?" he asks.

"He put up his wall," I growl.

"Is the safe room damaged?" Evan asks as I open up the link to Evan, Rina, Logan, Lexi, and Blake who finally let his wall down.

"You're in so much trouble when I get my hands on you," I growl through the link.

"Why isn't your sister answering?" he asks and I growl some more.

"Get your fucking asses to the living room now," I order before cutting the link.

I slide to the wall and use my hands to help myself stand.  Rina and Lexi do the same and we carefully make our way through the narrow hallway.  We stop at the outer doors and see Hunter, Kyle, and Dylan's unconscious bodies on the ground.  We check their pulses and we're glad that they're still alive.  We walk up to the kitchen and grab knives, cutting through the ropes and taking off the gags.

"Living room now," Rina growls as the boys enter through the back door.

"Where's Abby?" Blake asks once we're seated on the couch.

I growl and Rina has to restrain me, "Because you were stupid enough to put your wall up, she's gone."

"What do you mean?" he asks clenching his fists.

"Luke took her," Lexi spits, her eyes switching from hazel to black.

"You couldn't stop them?" he yells and I growl, standing up and going up to his face.

"How the hell could we stop them when three of his goons were holding us back and our guards were knocked out? How could we stop them when Luke drugged her and dragged her out? You should have been there as her mate.  I thought mates were supposed to protect each other.  But I was wrong," I yell stepping back and sitting on the couch.

"We need to find her," he whispers slumping back on the couch, "We need to find her so I can apologize for everything."
