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.”
