Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna

Chapter 17

Ch 17 Alpha Talk

Instead of early morning training or fooling around, the triplets and Thea got ready for the day and went to the Alpha’s office. He was waiting for them.

“First, I want to say how happy and proud I am of all of you. I’ve been waiting a long time for this day. Your shifts are coming closer. I’m sure you’re Starting to feel the pull, the power. It’s time to start bringing you in on pack business, decisions, planning. You’l] be taking over before you know it. Idon’t want to put too much on your plate while you’re still in school, but I want you at key meetings, and I expect you to weigh in on key decisions.”

“Yes, sir,” they said in unison.

“We’ll be transitioning you away from leading the daily training. You won’t have time for it once you assume your other duties.”

They nodded.

“Now, sons, for your first responsibility as future Alphas. This is important, so pay attention. It will take time to learn to control your wolf once you shift. Since you’re Alphas, your wolves will be stronger, even harder to control. Your instincts will become stronger, your urges more powerful. You must be prepared to take control of your wolf. You cannot let your wolves mark Thea as soon as they wake up. They’ll want to. It’ll be the only thing on their minds. If you were anyone else, it wouldn’t matter, but you’re the future Alphas. The whole pack will feel the bond being made.

You must wait for the mating ceremony to mark her. It’s not just a moment between you. It will ripple through the pack, and its magic can strengthen the pack. Do you hear me? Can you do this?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Help each other. Be there to stop each other.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Thea, ] know there’s only so much you can do, and their actions are ultimately not your responsibility but do your best not to let them mark you right away.”

“Yes, sir,” Thea said. Why was he acting like this was a done deal? Like he knew they were mates? The Alpha could tell she was worried. “Okay,

sons, you’re dismissed. Thea, stay with me.”

The triplets filed out. The Alpha looked at Thea for amoment, assessing. +

“Okay, Thea, what is it?”

“Sir?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Sir, I feel like we’re getting ahead of ourselves. We haven’t shifted yet. We can’t know that we’re mates until we shift. I don’t want to raise expectations and disappoint anyone.”

“No one will ever be disappointed in you. Luna Ada and I love you like a daughter. Always have. We’ve known you were our sons’ mate since you and they were in the womb. Well, we joked about it when you were in the womb because when your mothers got close, you would reach out to each other. When they were away from each other, Ada would feel sick. When Naomi was with her, she felt great. They spent most of their pregnancy together, feeling you guys search for each other. Once you were born, there was no denying it.” Thea looked confused.

“You know multiple births are rare in werewolves. The ones that carry to term come out sickly. Most don’t make it. The ones that do end up deficient in some way for the rest of their lives. The triplets came out strong and healthy. We realized it was because they had their mate strengthening them. That’s the magic of the matebond.”

“Why did you think that?” Thea said.

“The day you were all born, even though the triplets were healthy, which came as a beautiful surprise, they were all crying. They wouldn’t be comforted, wouldn’t eat. Your mother came in to help. She set you down between Alaric and Kai, and they instantly calmed. Ada laid Conri at your feet, and the room was silent for the first time that day.”

“Ada laid down next to Conri, and suddenly he latched and nursed perfectly. They all had trouble nursing unless you were near them. They wouldn’t sleep unless they were touching you. If any of you were upset, you comforted and calmed each other. We had to set up a nursery for the four of you. One giant crib.”

“They thrived when you were near and regressed when they were away from you. We all felt it. We knew you had to be mates. When you were old enough to separate, we made your room knowing they’d be drawn to you and find their way there. No one else has a room, bed, or shower big enough to accommodate four people, Alphas at that.” : Thea blushed.

“We’d look in on you and find all three of them holding onto you in their sleep just like before. They are strong because of you. Now they need to be strong for you. We have all believed there’s a reason you need three mates. It’s unheard of. It’s why we included you in Alpha training.”

“I thought I was training to be Beta, like my

father.”

“Oh, sweet wolf cub. You’re an Alpha, and you will be Luna. You are from long, strong lines of Alpha blood on both sides of your parents. You’re a natural leader. We worried there would be rivalries and fighting for the Alpha position, but it quickly became clear they looked to you. You’re their leader. They trust you. Defer to you. They don’t fight when you’re around. The entire pack already follows you, not just because you can kick their asses, but because they feel the love and care you have for them. They trust you. They love you. When you take up the mantle of Luna, you will feel the love the pack has for you. When the triplets mark you, and you mark them, there will be no question in your mind or heart. There is no one else for my sons. There is no other Luna for this pack.”

“I don’t know what to say, sir,” Thea said.

“Your humility is one of your greatest strengths. It makes it so easy to love you. People feel safe around you, that they can bring their problems to you, that you will be a friend to them. That will be crucial when you’re Luna, but don’t let it turn into a lack of confidence, Thea. Believe in yourself.” 2

She nodded.

“You’ve been given a lot to digest. Take it easy. Don’t stress. Let it soak in. That’s all for now.” Thea stood to leave, turned back to him. “Sir, Davie told me to do market research for the bar. To look at successful bars so I can clarify my vision. I mapped out all the gay bars within a six-hour drive. May I have permission to go that far off pack lands tomorrow to visit them?” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Who is going with you?” Alpha Ulric said.

“A friend from school. Misty Sharpe. Daughter of Alpha Lucas Sharpe from Blood Moon pack.”

He nodded. “This is a delicate time, these last weeks before your shift. With everyone knowing you’re the future Luna, you’re vulnerable without your wolf. If anyone were going to try to kidnap you or hurt you in any way, this is the time they would do it.”

Thea sighed, thinking she wouldn’t be allowed to go.

“You may go, but I will be sending pack warriors to watch you. They will keep a respectful distance. They will mask their scents, as should you and your friend, so no one can track or scent you. If anything seems out of place, they will step in and get you home safely. Barring any incidents, you shouldn’t even notice they’re there.”

The Alpha blood in her chafed at needing bodyguards, but she understood. Unshifted, even with her Alpha blood and substantial training, she would be foolish to take on shifted adult wolves. Xavier had shown her that.

“Thank you, sir.”
