Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna novel 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.

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?”

“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.”
