Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna

Chapter 40 Shifting

Delta team circled them all night. They stayed far enough away to give them the illusion of privacy.

Thea fell asleep around two in the morning. She woke up when she heard Alaric making pained noises. She sat up and saw him on all fours, fur sprouting out of his arms. 

Joints popping, bones cracking. Kai and Conri sat watching next to her. His shirt ripped in half as his back changed shape and grew. The rest of his clothes followed suit as he morphed. It seemed to take forever. Finally, it was complete, and a beautiful, big black wolf with a silver-white undercoat on his paws shook out its coat. He sniffed the air, turned, and stared right at Thea. One leap, and he landed in front of her. He put his muzzle against her neck and breathed in deep. Thea reached up and ran her fingers through his fur.

“Hi, handsome,” she said.

He shivered then licked her marking spot. She shivered. He gently put his teeth against her skin.

“Hey! No!” Thea pushed against him.

He growled and came back toward her neck. She put her arms up to block him, and he bit into her forearm going for her marking spot. He immediately released her and backed away. It looked like he was fighting with Alaric inside.

Kai and Conri stepped in front of Thea. The wolf looked at them and growled, then whimpered. Then he laid down. Ears down, tail down, chin on the ground.

“It’s okay, guys,” Thea said. “I think Alaric has control now.”

They stepped aside, keeping an eye on him. Thea beckoned him, and he inched his way over on his belly, keeping a submissive posture. When he reached her, he looked up at her, then at her bleeding arm. He inched closer and looked at her again, asking permission. She nodded.

He started licking the wounds. They immediately began to heal, sending pleasurable shivers throughout Thea’s body. This was another thing mates could do. It was an intimate thing, and it didn’t just heal. It felt amazing. He kept licking until the wounds were closed, and her skin was clean of any blood. Her dress still had bloodstains on it. He rested his head on the ground, ears down.

Thea maneuvered, so his head rested on her lap. She stroked his face and head.

“Wow,” Conri said. 

“If Alaric had trouble taming his wolf, what chance do we stand?”

“Just remember to be prepared,” Kai said.

About an hour later, as the sun was rising, Conri stood up suddenly.

“I think it’s happening,” he said. He hunched over. He kept his cries of pain in for a while until he couldn’t. It looked like he was fighting the shift.

“Conri, babe,” Thea said. 

“Relax. Let it happen.”

Alaric’s wolf whined in sympathy.

Conri tried to relax, and that’s when fur started sprouting from him. He began to morph, then stopped. It started again, and suddenly another big, black wolf was standing before them. His tail had a silver-white undercoat.

This time, Thea decided to be proactive. She stood up.

 “Hey,” she said. 

“Want to play?”

Conri’s wolf turned toward her, and she took off. He chased after her, got in front of her to cut her off. She faked left and went right. He bounded back to chase her again. This time he encircled her, curling his body around her. She ducked and ran under him. He turned, watched her, and laid down with a whine, moping.

Thea walked back and sat down in front of him. He scooted closer and wrapped his head and neck around hers, like a hug. She reached her arms around his neck and hugged him back. She raked her fingers through the fur of his shoulder and neck. He breathed in her scent. He licked her neck and put his incisors on the skin of her shoulder, giving little nibbles up and down.

“Ow! That hurts,” Thea said. She pushed against him just as he reached her marking spot. He froze there. She could sense Conri battling his wolf for control. 

“Not again. You can’t mark me!”

He nibbled with his incisors a little more aggressively. Alaric’s wolf came up behind Thea and stared down Conri’s wolf. Kai stood off to the side between them. 

“Hey, guys,” Kai said. “Why don’t you go for a run? Huh? Burn off some of that energy? You know what Dad said. You can’t mark her yet.”

Alaric’s wolf lunged, and Conri’s wolf released Thea to take the hit. Thea rolled out of the way and stood up. Alaric got Conri to chase him, and they ran around for a while.
