Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna novel Chapter 14

Ch 14 Your Hypothetical 

The triplets were all staring up at Thea from her bed. She stood in front of them. 

“Are you going to start? Or should we?” Conri said.

Thea took a deep breath in. “I don’t know where to start.”

“Why didn’t you tell us people were spreading rumors about you? Because of us? We would’ve taken care of it,” Kai said 

“I didn’t want to make a big deal of it. Gossip calms down eventually. Plus, I did do that striptease at the Talent Show.”

“You had a tearaway jumpsuit. It wasn’t a striptease. It was a costume change,” Alaric said.

“You know what someone wears does not mean they’re asking to be assaulted. Shaming someone for what they wear is rape culture. We don’t allow that.” 1

“Even you guys didn’t want anyone to see me in that outfit.”

“Yeah, maybe we don’t want anyone thinking of you in that way because it drives us crazy with jealousy, but that’s our problem. You wearing an outfit for a performance in no way gives anyone the green light to sexually assault you,” Kai said.

“They were also saying I like gangbangs because I’m with all three of you. That’s why the group stopped me today. I didn’t tell you because—I don’t know— maybe there’s truth to it.”

Three sets of eyes flickered. 

“Not random gangbangs, but you three. Only you three. Think about it. I’ve never been one on one with someone. I’ve only ever been with all three of you, and I do like it.”

“So you deserve a dozen guys trying to rape you? No,” Alaric said.

“You’re taken. You’re ours. No one else gets to touch you. Period,” Kai said.

“You have to admit it’s unusual,” Thea said. “ People even suggested I used witches to get all three of you.”

“Everyone in the school wants you. No witches needed,” Conri said. Thea looked at him. “Oh, we’ve been keeping guys away from you for years.”

“What?”

“It’s true. No one has ever asked you on a date because we wouldn’t let anyone near you,” Alaric said. |

“There have been fights, people who needed to learn their place,” Kai said. °

“Why did I never hear anything about this?” Thea said.

“We didn’t want you to be bothered. It was part of the threats. Don’t say anything to Thea, or else,” Conri said.

“Why?”

“Because you’re ours. Always have been. Always will be,” Kai said.

“How long have you felt this way?” Thea said.

“Always,” they said together.

“Are you mad?” Alaric said.

“No,” Thea said. “I’m trying to adjust to this new information.”

“Will you tell us from now on if you’re having a problem?” Conri said.

“Let us take care of you, Thea,” Alaric said.

“I’ll try.”

The triplets eyed each other.

“The other thing I wanted to talk to you about,” Thea said. “First, you have to swear to secrecy. No one outside this room can know.”

“We swear,” they said.

“Okay,” Thea said. “Misty was a big part of spreading the rumors because she’s gay, she has a crush on me, and she was trying to hide her feelings.”

“I knew I smelled arousal at the Talent Show. It’s not just Misty who wants you,” Conri said. “

There were a lot of aroused she-wolves.”

“Well, no one else has said anything to me. Remember, you can’t say anything to anyone. She’s scared of anyone finding out she’s a lesbian.”

“We won’t,” Alaric said.

“Thank you,” Thea said. “Misty is a good person, and she was driven to say those things about me to hide her feelings. She’s terrified of being found out. I don’t think it’s right or fair for her to feel that way. I want to help her and others like her.

That’s what I talked about with your dad today. I want to change the perception, maybe open a gay bar for werewolves. But that’s a discussion for another time. I keep thinking about how scared she was to even have the feelings. I want her to know her feelings aren’t wrong.”

“You’re taken,” Conri said. “Of course they’re wrong.”

“I meant in the sense of being attracted to the same sex, not me specifically,” Thea said.

Conri huffed.

“I’m going to befriend her,” Thea said. “See what I can do. She’!] need someone to stand by her when she comes out.”

“What if she tries something with you?” Kai said. “What do you mean?” Thea said.

“What if she tries to kiss you?” Kai said.

“I told her I wouldn’t cheat on you.”

“What if you want to kiss her?” Alaric said.

“I doubt that would happen,” Thea said.

“But if it did?” Kai said.

Thea thought about it. “Would I have your permission to kiss her?”

“Would you want to?” Alaric said.

“This is your hypothetical,” Thea said. “You saidi f I wanted to.”

“If you wanted to kiss her, yes, you’d have my permission,” Alaric said.

“Really?” Thea, Conri, and Kai said together.

“Con, Kai,” Alaric said. “If she wants to, we have to let her try.”

“I don’t like it,” Kai said.

Conri huffed. “Fine, whatever,” Conri said.

“You guys are getting worked up over nothing,” Thea said. “This hypothetical situation where I’d want to kiss anyone besides you is absurd.”

“It makes sense, Thea,” Kai said. ‘“You’ve never been with anyone else. You’re going to wonderwhat else is out there. The only time you have to experiment is before we mark and mate you. After that, the pain would kill us.”

“If we were marked and mated, I know you’d feel me being with someone else, and it would be the worst pain imaginable. I would never do that, much less want to,” Thea said.

“But we haven’t shifted yet. We haven’t marked you. We won’t feel anything. This is your chance,” Alaric said.

“It sounds like you want me to try being attracted to other people,” Theas said

“I really don’t,” Alaric said. “But maybe it will help you get past this Xavier thing.”

“What?” Thea said.

“You barely let us hold your hand,” Alaric said.

“You haven’t wanted to be intimate with us all week,” Conri said.

“That’s not true,” Thea said.
