Chapter 42

The bed shook as Thea tried to stifle her sobs. The pillow was wet from all the tears she shed in silence. “Hey, darling, what’s wrong?” Kai said.

The triplets caressed her until she could speak.

“I didn’t shift,” Thea finally said. “What if I’m human?”

“Then nothing changes,” Alaric said.

“You’re still our mate if you’re human,” Conri said. “We love you no matter what.”

“Can a human even be goddess gifted?” Thea said.

“I don’t see why not. If werewolves can have humans as mates, which they do all the time, the goddess can choose humans to be gifted,” Alaric said.

“I have two werewolf parents from long lines of werewolves. Alphas at that. Why wouldn’t I have a wolf?”

“Maybe it’s too much magic for one person to handle?” Conri said.

“You could still shift. It doesn’t have to be the day you turn eighteen,” Kai said.

“Have you ever heard of anyone shifting if they didn’t on their birthday?” Thea said. The triplets were silent. “ This is why I didn’t feel the matebond before like you guys did. I don’t have a wolf. We have to tell your parents.”

“Why? What do you mean?” Conri said.

“They may want to cancel the mating ceremony,” Thea said.

“Not a chance,” Alaric said.

“They love you,” Conri said.

“It’s not up to them who our mate is,” Kai said.

“Let’s just tell them and see what they say,” Thea said. The four showered, got dressed, then made their way down to the Alpha’s office. He was already in there with Luna Ada and Thea’s parents.
