Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna novel Chapter 29

Ch 29 Gilly Suits & Witches

Thea and Lizzy went to the pack library on the fourth floor. Mostly full of werewolf histories and lore, they looked for anything that mentioned goddess gifts.

“Someone needs to compile a book with all the information in one place,” Lizzy said. “There’s just snippets here and there within histories and stories.”

“I suppose, since we are looking through everything, that we could be the ones to compile such a book,” Thea said.

Lizzy groaned. “This is what you were talking about when you said high maintenance, isn’t it?”

“I will compensate you handsomely.”

“I know you will. Alright. I’ll do it. Good thing I got high marks in English and writing.”

“It can be casual at first,” Thea said. 

“Here, let’s just Xerox the pages that mention goddess gifts and stack it all together. The titles of the books are always on the top of every page, so we’ll know where the information came from.”

“Smart.”

“I have a feeling we’re going to need to go to other pack libraries to see if they have stuff we don’t. Hopefully, they’ll let us make copies because it will suck to write it out by hand.”

“Yes, it will. Especially since I will be the one visiting the other packs,” Lizzy said.

Hours later, three very worried triplets came running through the library yelling for Thea.

“What? What is it?” Thea called out.

They ran up to her and nearly tackled her. They held her tight in their arms.

“Goddess, Thea!” Kai said.

“What?”

“Peoples unknown are trying to steal you, you’re not where we left you, and you mask your scent so we can’t sniff you out,” Kai said.

“Sorry, I masked it yesterday for the outing,” Thea said.

“Don’t scare us like that!” Conri said.

“I didn’t leave the pack house!” Thea said.

“You didn’t tell anyone or leave a note saying where you’d be,” Alaric said.

“I’m supposed to do that now?”

“Yes!”

“Can’t you see you guys are stressing her out?” Lizzy said.

The triplets pulled back and looked at Thea.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t think,” Thea said. “I haven’t adjusted to this yet.”

“We’re sorry for yelling at you,” Alaric said.

“We were worried you’d been kidnapped,” Conri said.

“I got that,” Thea said.

“Dad wants to see you in his office,” Kai said.

“Let’s call it a night, Lizzy,” Thea said.

Lizzy nodded. “Good luck.” 

Thea let the triplets lead her to the Alpha’s office, where Liam was already seated in one of the chairs. They joined him in front of the Alpha’s desk. 

“Thea,” Alpha Ulric said. 

“The sweep of the land revealed suspicious tracks with no scent, but we didn’t find anyone else on the property. Our trackers said there were spots that looked like people had laid in them for some time.”

“Like they’re masking their scents and hiding in gilly suits for days at a time?” Thea said.

“Possibly.”

“The wolf that chased me today wasn’t wearing one. Did you find a gilly suit out there? Something he could’ve hidden under?”

“It wasn’t mentioned.”

“Did they look up? In the trees?” Thea said.

The Alpha’s eyebrows shot up in surprise, and he looked at Liam.

“I doubt the sweepers did,” Liam said. “They would have been looking for tracks on the ground. We’ll do another sweep at dawn.”

“What made you think of that?” Alpha Ulric said.

“It’s what I would do if I needed to hide,” Thea said. 

“Wolves don’t climb. They don’t look up. I never understood why— it’s the perfect hiding spot. You know, if their scents are masked, and they’ re incredibly good at camouflaging and hiding, rogues could be in the trees as we speak.”

“You’re right,” Alpha Ulric said. “We know our defenses are compromised. We have no idea how long anyone has been here doing recon, if someone is letting them on pack lands, or if they’re that good at sneaking in, or even if the people doing the sweep are hiding them.”
