Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna

Chapter 46

Chapter 46 Presents

Thea’s marks were sore but beautiful the following morning. When she looked at them in the mirror for the first time, she cried. Her fingers traced the lines and shapes that were still forming on her skin. Down her shoulders, her back, across her collar bones, up her neck. Lizzy was right. Something felt familiar about them, but she couldn’t place it.

Alaric walked up behind her in their bathroom and kissed his mark.

“They’re beautiful,” Alaric said. “You’re beautiful.”

Alaric traced his part of the design with his fingers.

Pleasure and warmth radiated through them both.

“It’s more than a dream come true,” Thea said. “Before we got together, sometimes | would let myself think about us being mates, you guys marking me, what my marks would look like. I never imagined this. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

“It’s the most beautiful mark I’ve ever seen,” he said. “ And the biggest.”

Thea laughed. Most marks were the size of the palm of a hand. Alphas’ marks were bigger. No one had ever seen three Alpha marks on one person. They seemed to feed off each other and grow exponentially.

“It’s like you guys are screaming to everyone that I’m yours,” Thea said.

“We are,” Alaric said. “People need to know you’re ours, that we’ll protect you, and that they should stay far away from you.”

She turned her head around, asking for a kiss. He turned her body around, brought her into a kiss, and held her tight.

Kai and Conri came in, still waking up. They went straight to their marks, hands roaming Thea’s body, sending relaxing sparks everywhere. She felt the pull to the triplets growing. She craved them, needed them near, needed to touch them.

The triplets’ eyes glazed over.

“Dad wants us in his office,” Alaric said. “Now.”

“We smell like sex,” Thea said. “I’m rinsing off real quick.”

The triplets joined her in the shower, and soon they were all sitting in the Alpha’s office. The triplets couldn’t stop staring at their marks, caressing them, kissing them. It sent sparks through all of them.

“Try to pay attention,” Alpha Ulric said. “Liam has his Teport on the mating ceremony.”

Thea sat up straight, but she kept her hands on her mates. The triplets also sat up but kept contact with their marks on Thea.

“There were a few stray wolves that didn’t belong to our pack there last night,” Liam said. “We’re not sure how they got onto pack lands. They never made a move on the future Luna. That’s why we didn’t act. They masked their scents, but we planted bugs on them and are tracking them as we speak. If I were to make a guess, I’d say they were doing recon to find out if Thea is goddess gifted or what her gift is. Maybe to scout out our defenses, her vulnerabilities.”

“From last night,” the Alpha said. “They would see that she is unshifted. While last night’s ceremony was powerful, it wasn’t out of the realm of possibility for a regular Luna. They may come to the conclusion that she isn’t goddess gifted, just a good Luna.”

“We can hope,” Liam said. “We know no outsiders were at the oath ceremony, so they couldn’t know about that because no one in that room would ever talk about it to anyone else.”

“I don’t like the fact that these wolves got onto pack lands without us knowing,” Kai said.

“I think that suggests witches are involved,” Alaric said.

“I agree,” Liam said.

“We should ask my father to find out what he can from the witch in his brother’s pack,” Thea said.

“I’ll talk to him tonight,” the Alpha said.

“While you have bugs on those wolves, would this be a good time to send me off pack lands as a trap?” Thea said.

The Alpha looked at Liam, mind linking.

“Okay. We’ll do it. You have potential bar locations to check out, right?” Alpha Ulric said.

“Yes.”

“Give the details to Liam, and he’ll plan the op. Sons, you’ll go with her too. Marked and mated, you’ll be able to track her better than anyone.”

They planned the op for the very next day. Liam didn’t want to give the wolves time to figure out they’d been bugged.

Thea and the triplets spent the rest of the day opening gifts and sending thank yous.

Luna Ada gave them a scrapbook of Thea and the triplets growing up. Since they were always together, the pictures always had all four of them. Thea flipped through the pages. The four of them as

babies—the boys in blue, green, and orange onesies with their names embroidered on the front. They were holding onto the baby girl in pink. The next picture was of four toddlers in a giant crib, the boys still holding onto Thea. The next was them as kids running around, Conri holding on to the back of Thea’s shirt. Lots of pictures where they were training through the years. Another where they were on the back of Alpha Ulric in wolf form. The next had a young Kai on the ground, Thea straddling him with her fist connecting with his face, Conri, Alaric,

Beta Walter, and Alpha Ulric laughing in the background. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Thea cried as she flipped through the memories. Luna

Ada also wrote them a beautiful letter telling them how she always knew they were mates, how perfect they were for each other, and how proud and happy she was for them.

Davie gave them a case of rare fine wines.

Gift after gift. Champagnes. Cigars. Jewelry. A powerful telescope to look at the moon and stars.

“What is this?” Thea said, holding up a necklace.

“Does the card say anything?” Conri said.

Thea found the card and opened it.

“Congratulations to you all. A match like yours—you will do great things. This is a talisman blessed by witches to help you with what’s to come. The gem glows when vampires are near. The necklace expands and shrinks to fit the wearer, so you can wear it as a human or a wolf. It’s charmed, so no one who wants to take it from you can see it. Blessings to you all. —Alpha Jerry Lyall and Full Moon Pack” |

“You should put that on and never take it off,” Conri said.

“Because I’m human?” Thea said.

Kai hugged Thea from behind and spoke softly in her ear. “Because your life is more important than ours,” he said.

She tumed and faced him. “Not to me,” she said.

“It’s three against one. Majority rules,” Alaric said.

“That’s not fair,” Thea said.

“We’ll make it up to you,” Kai said.

He kissed her, took the necklace from her hand, and put it around her neck. She looked up at him with one eyebrow raised. He kissed her again and worked his way down to his mark. Conri and Alaric joined him, each kissing their marks. Thea melted.

“This isn’t fair either,” Thea said. “You know what this does to me.”

“Actually,” Alaric said. “We don’t know the extent of

what this does to you yet.”

“Now that you’re marked, is it more powerful?” Conri said.

“Yes,” Thea said, her voice breathy. “Goddess, help me. I only want to please you. Tell me what you want. Tell me what to do. I’m yours.”

“Finally, the playing field is even,” Kai said.
