Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Mating Ceremony

Alpha Ulric and Beta Walter assisted the triplets in getting ready. The Alpha talked to them about the Tesponsibility of taking care of their mate. How they have their Alpha duties, but the most important thing they’ll ever do is take care of Thea. He didn’t know what was in store for them, but they needed to stay strong. They had their first training session as shifted wolves. The competition and exertion built up their masculine energy. By the time they showered and dressed in their ceremonial robes, they were more than ready to mark and mate Thea.

Luna Ada and Naomi assisted Thea. They gave hera luxurious bath and massage to relax her. They styled her dark, silky hair in soft curls and pinned them on top of her head to keep her shoulders bare and ready to be marked. They put a little makeup on to make her turquoise eyes pop. Then they dressed her in a long, sleek robe that tied in front and left her shoulders bare so everyone could see her marks.

“You look gorgeous,” Luna Ada said.

Thea tried to smile.

“You are a vision,” Thea’s mother said. She handed Thea a pair of slippers.

“Once you get on stage, you’ll take these off. They’re just for walking there. Do you have any questions?”

“What if I make noises? If I can’t hold it in?” Thea said.

“Don’t hold it in, dear,” her mother said.

“Remember, the more open you are, the more the pack benefits,” Luna Ada said. “And they want to know that their future Luna will be happy with her mates. Your Telationship sets the tone for the entire pack. If the Alpha and Luna don’t get along or aren’t happy, the whole pack suffers.”

Thea nodded.

“You’ve been through a lot these past months. Try to let go of everything else today and enjoy this. This is a happy occasion,” Luna Ada said.

Thea nodded and took a deep breath. She kept forgetting to breathe. Or her feelings were so heavy it was difficult to breathe.

“Ready?” Luna Ada said.

“Yeah,” Thea said.
They led Thea out to the dais they had built for the ceremony. Torches surrounded it. Chairs lined the back where the Alpha, Beta, and triplets were already seated. A large table stood at the front. It had a padded top, soft but firm.

The women sat down, and Thea looked at the solemn crowd. The whole pack was there. This was a once or twice in a lifetime event. It was sacred to everyone here. It hit her at that moment. She was the conduit for something special, something that strengthened her pack, forged a bond between them all, and brought them closer together. The Alpha and Luna were connected to each member of their pack. A little bit of the matebond magic would reach each pack member tonight, uniting them all as one. She had never been toa mating ceremony before, but she knew what it was, what it was meant to do, what it could do. She could do this. She would do this.

The Alpha stood up and gave a speech. She didn’t hear most of the words. She was overcome by the energy of the crowd, the event. At some point, Luna Ada helped Thea stand up and walked her over to the table. She kissed her cheek then walked off the dais with Alpha Ulric, Beta Walter, and Naomi. The triplets stood in line behind the table.

Alaric walked up to Thea and lifted her onto the table. He put their foreheads together.

“I missed you today,” he whispered. “I can’t believe we had to spend the whole day apart.”

“I missed you too,” Thea whispered. “They probably didn’t want us to accidentally mate and mark before the ceremony.”

They smiled together.

“I know this isn’t how you imagined it,” Alaric continued. “You’re hurting. You can’t mark us back.”

“It’s okay. This is for the pack. I’ll deal with my sadness later. I’m ready.”

He kissed her. “I love you, my strong, selfless Luna,” he said.

“I love you too. I’ve always wanted to wear your mark. This is still a happy day.”

“I’ve dreamed of this moment since | first learned about marking,” Alaric said.
