Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna

Chapter 21

Ch 21 Devastated

Alaric was sitting at Thea’s desk, staring into space.

Kai was sitting on the floor, leaning against her bed. He had a black eye, swollen nose, busted lip. His knuckles were a bloody mess. So were his clothes.

Conri was on Thea’s bed clutching her pillows, breathing in her scent, and sobbing.

They all turned and looked at her, pain in their eyes.

“What happened?” Thea said, worry in her voice. She thought maybe there had been a rogue attack and someone died.

Conri jumped off the bed, ran to her, spilled onto his knees, and hugged her as tight as he could. “ Please don’t leave us,” he sobbed. “Please. I’1l be better.”

“What? I’m not going anywhere. What’s going on?” She put her hands around him, trying to comfort him. She couldn’t remember ever seeing him cry. He was impulsive and wild, but he wasn’t acrier. °

Kai wouldn’t talk. It was like the fight had left him. ‘

“We didn’t handle today very well,” Alaric said. His voice was full of pain. It hurt Thea to hear it. She could tell he was doing his duty because he always would, but he sounded like it was killing him.

“What happened?” Thea said.

“You left us,” Conri said. She could barely make out his words through his sobs.

She knelt down and held him. “What are you talking about, Con? I’m right here.”

Alaric stood up and walked to the door. “I’m glad you’ re back safe,” he said.

“Ric?”

He left. Thea turned to Conri.

“You’re a mess, Con. Come on, let’s get you cleaned up,” she said. She coaxed him to the bathroom while he clung to her. She got his clothes off and him into the shower. She washed him, then held him.

He kept whispering, “Please don’t leave,” between sobs until he eventually calmed under her touch.

“Tell me what’s wrong, Con.”

“I don’t want to lose you.”

“You’re not.”

“You’re mine, Thea. I need you.”

“I need you too, Con.”
“Do you want to be with other people?”
