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!”
