One bond contains one pair of electrons is shared, and a pair contains two electrons, since it is share among two atoms, thus for double bonds,  two pairs of electrons are shared, having a total of 4 electrons. The same concept applies for triple bond, since three pairs of electrons are shared. This means that a triple bond contains 6 electrons in total.
