Trinity of Power
Prologue

Four years earlier...

"How are we going to do this?” Corinda asks nervously.

“We're just going to say you and I are pregnant, Rin. It happens everyday.” Severn pulls Corinda intohis chest, soothing her hair down.

“But what if the pup doesn't look like you? They'll know. If it looks like Case, then we're screwed!”She's nearly in tears from worry and fear.

Casen kneels in front of her where she sits on the bed. He puts one arm around her waist, the othersnaking around Severn’s. He pulls them tight to him and they huddle there.

“We told them that you and I were siblings. If the pup looks like me, we explain it with genetics. Itwill work out fine, I promise. We'll be safe and our pup will be healthy. You'll see, Rin,” Casenresponds softly.

They don't realize that the door is slightly ajar. They don't realize that the doctor is right outside thedoor. Listening.

Pulling away, Dr. Bane takes his nurse with him into his office. Speaking quietly and quickly, he says“Call Alpha Lowen. Tell him that I have information about the new wolves that can't wait. I'm goingto proceed with their appointment and see if I can get any more information. Tell him I'll be aboutan hour.”

"Yes, Dr. Bane.” The nurse runs from the room and Dr. Bane collects himself before walking back tothe room.

"Good morning,” Dr. Bane greets the three wolves in the room with false cheer. “How are youfeeling this morning? Oh, Ryan. You're here? Isn't it a little strange for you to come to your sister'sappointment?” A look of genuine surprise floods the doctor's face as he looks at Casen.

“Just here for moral support, Doc.” Casen smiles and attempts to laugh off his discomfort at thedoctor's statement. He knew that they would have difficulty explaining why he was at Corinda“sOB/GYN appointment, but he wasn't going to miss out seeing his pup on the ultrasound. “You knowthat she’s the only family I have left, Doc. I just... just need to be here.”

Dr. Bane nods his understanding. “So, Beth,” he says looking at Corinda, “your urine culture cameback positive for pregnancy. Congratulations!”

Corinda, Severn, and Casen smile at each other and Dr. Bane gets that weird feeling he always getswhen he looks at the three of them together.

The doctor clears his throat. “When was your last moon cycle?”

“I think it was two moons ago. With all the moving around and stress, it's been all messed up, butI've never skipped two moon cycles before like this time,” Corinda says.

“Alright. Well, I'll start with an internal exam. Um...Ryan, you might want to step out of the roomBrent, you're free to stay. I'm just going to go grab Nurse Rose and we'll get started.” Dr. Baneleaves the room and closes the door quickly behind him and Ryan. “You can wait in the waiting area.I'm assuming you're here to see the ultrasound?”

“Yeah.” Casen is too excited to mask the sheer joy that he is feeling at knowing his mate is pregnant.Too excited for a brother, the doctor thinks.

Dr. Bane shows Casen back into the waiting area before motioning Nurse Rose into his office. “Whatdid the alpha say?"

"He'll be waiting, doctor. What do you think is wrong?” Rose is obviously worried. Everyone hasbeen a little leery of these new wolves, seeing how they cling to each other, even the two siblings. Itjust doesn’t make sense.

“I don't know, but I heard them calling each other by different names. I just don't get a good vibefrom them. Something's wrong,” Dr. Bane says.

An hour later, Dr. Bane knocks on Alpha Lowen’s door.

“Come!” the alpha calls from the other side of the door.

Dr. Bane opens the door and is greeted by the sight of the alpha, beta, gamma, and delta.Swallowing thickly, nervously, the doctor kneels, baring his neck to the higher ranking wolves beforehim.

"Stand, Gerald. What is this all about?” Alpha Lowen demands.

“It's about the three new wolves that we've brought into the pack. The she-wolf is pregnant. Abouthalf-way through her pregnancy with twins - “ Dr. Bane begins, but he is interrupted by a growlfrom the beta.

"You took me away from the pack whorehouse for this?” he sneers.

“N-n-n-no, Beta. I overheard them talking before I started her exam. They called each other bydifferent names. They kept calling Beth “Rin.’ And the she-wolf called one of them “Case.’ They alsosaid something about the pups possibly looking like Ryan as if they had been together. Ryan alsoinsisted on being in the room when we did the ultrasound and in all my years of practice, a brotherhas never wanted to be in their sister's OB/GYN appointment. I almost had to force him out when Idid the internal.” Dr. Bane's words are rushed, attempting to get all of the information he hadgleaned. “I also found them in a somewhat...compromising position when I came back from puttingthe ultrasound machine away.”

"What do you mean, compromising?” Alpha Lowen asks, his brows furrowed, no longer in anger, butin curiosity.

“Well, the males were very close to each other and Ryan had his wrapped around his sister's waist.He was squeezing her rear end and all three of their mouths were very red. It was obvious that theyhad all three been kissing.”

Alpha Lowen looks between all the males of his leadership, obviously having a mindlinkconversation.

“Thank you, Gerald. You're dismissed,” Alpha Lowen says with a wave of his hand.

Once Gerald leaves, Alpha Lowen looks toward his leadership.

“I knew there was something wrong with them!” the beta growls out. “Why did we let them in in thefirst place?”

“They were three young kids that obviously needed help. We're not that heartless!” Alpha Lowenrubs his hand over his face.

“Luna made him do it,” the gamma mutters laughing until he sees the glare the alpha sends him.The delta and beta hold back their laughter, snorting behind their hands.

"Alright, we've got to get some more information about these three. I don't mind helping them, butI won't be lied to. Don't let them know that we're on to them. We'll figure out what's going on, andthen we'll take care of them.”
