Chapter 68 Faith
Thea followed the triplets up to the top floor of the giant pack house. The room smelled like the triplets. Intoxicating.
“We shared this room, didn’t we?” Thea said.
They nodded.
“It smells like you guys,” she said. Zoe wanted to rub herself all over the bed and bask in the triplets’ scent. “How weird is it that I can smell them? Like, I can tell they live in this room because I can smell it? What the hell?” she thought.
“You can tell that you lived here with them, right?” Zoe said.
“Yeah. It’s obvious we lived together,” Thea thought. “I just don’t remember it.”
Thea felt the triplets’ worry.
“I’m sorry, I don’t remember anything. It seems like we were close,” she said out loud.
“We grew up together,” Alaric said. “We knew everything about each other.”
“I guess it just means we have to let you get to know us all over. That could be fun,” Conri said.
“Or we could remember for you,” Kaiser said. He stepped up to Thea and pushed her hair behind her ear. Sparks shot through her body. “We can tell you everything about our life before.”
Thea looked up into his crystal blue eyes.
“You would do that for me?” Thea said.
“We’ll do anything and everything for you,” Kaiser said.
“Don’t you have better things to do than babysit someone who doesn’t remember you?”
“We spent all our time with you before. That’s not going to change unless you tell us to leave you alone,” Kaiser said.
“Don’t you dare,” Zoe said. “I will take over before I let you—”
“Calm down, Zoe,” Thea thought. “I’m not kicking them out.” Thea couldn’t imagine telling these men to leave her alone. It seemed more plausible that she would beg them not to leave.
“All your time, huh?” Thea said out loud.
Kaiser nodded. “We’ve always been inseparable,”
he said.
The tingles she felt when he was near were thrilling. The sparks from his touch were exhilarating. Smelling her own scent mixed with theirs in this room made everything feel so familiar. All their scents combined smelled right.
“I like the sound of that,” Thea said. She couldn’t stop herself from leaning into him.
Kaiser trailed his fingers down her arm and lightly interlaced their fingers, caressing her palm with his thumb.
Thea’s free hand went to Kaiser’s waist, pulling him closer. He brought her hand up to his lips. He kissed the inside of her wrist, then down her arm until it was wrapped around his shoulder, and he was kissing her neck. He reached a spot that made Thea gasp, moan, then melt into him. Zoe felt drunk inside her head.
Then there were sparks all over her body as four other hands joined Kaiser’s. Two other mouths found similar spots on the other side of her neck, and she was putty in their hands.
“What is happening to me?” Thea thought. “How are they doing this?”
“These are our marks, babe,” Conri said to her in mind link. “It’s how we let everyone know you’re ours.”
“You’re going to mark them too,” Zoe said. “So everyone knows they’re yours.”
“They’re mine?” Thea thought.
“We’re yours, darling,” Kaiser said in mind link.
“It’s so weird that you can hear me think,” Thea thought.
“Once you mark us, you’ll be able to hear our thoughts too,” Alaric said in mind link.
“Why didn’t I mark you before?” Thea thought.
“You didn’t have your wolf, so you couldn’t,”
Conri said in mind link.
Thea could feel the desire in each of them. It wasn’t even physical. They all wanted her to remember them, to love them. It was overwhelming. She didn’t know if she could be the same person she was to them before. If she didn’t have any memories, how could she? Would they still want her when they figured that out?
“Don’t think, Thea,” Zoe said. “Feel. What do you feel?”
“I don’t know, Zoe,” she thought.
“What do you feel from them? What do you sense in them?”
“They’re good people.”
“Yeah. They are. Trust that. They’re your mates, and they’ll never hurt you. They’ll always protect you.”
“How do I know what I’m supposed to do? Who I’m supposed to be?”
“Have faith that the moon goddess has a plan for you. Have faith in your mates. They’ll help you, teach you, support you. You’re their everything. They’ll always be there for you.”
Thea felt more emotion from the triplets.
“I thought we lost you,” Kaiser said in mind link. He sucked the mark on her neck like it was his lifeline. She felt their connection through it. Like he was trying to reach her soul.
“I was so scared when I couldn’t feel you anymore.”
“I wish I could remember for you,” Thea said. She felt his heartache, and she wanted to heal it.
“You don’t have to remember. Just don’t leave us,” Conri said in mind link. “Please.” His hands gripped her tightly as he kissed and nibbled on his mark.
She felt his sincerity, his absolute need for her, but she didn’t want to make a promise she didn’t know she could keep.
“I won’t let you leave them,” Zoe said. “They’re my mates too. It will be painful and make us weak if we’re away from them. We’re meant to be with them.”
