Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna

Chapter 48 Blood

Thea felt sparks where Alaric squeezed her hand, Kai caressed the other, and Conri rubbed her feet.

“Doctor!” Conri called out.

“She’s awake!”

Dr. Boman came in and shooed the triplets out of the way. He checked her vital signs, shined a light in her eyes.

“Your oxygen levels are low, but that’s to be expected given how much blood you lost. How are you feeling? Can you talk?”

“I feel,” Thea said, voice raspy. “Stupid.”

The doctor laughed. “Seems like the spell has worn off,” he said. “Don’t feel bad. Everyone was under a spell. No one noticed you slip out. Everyone is kicking themselves and praying to the moon goddess that you’ll be okay. I was able to repair the damage, but you need to take it easy for a while. Don’t scream. Don’t jostle your neck or anything. For the most part, try not to talk. Seems like maybe you were strangled before he cut your carotid?”

“Yeah.”

“I thought so. You need to let your vocal cords heal. Your voice is going to be hoarse and sore. The cut is pretty deep, and it’s a dangerous area. You lost a lot of blood—more than half your total volume. You’re going to be weak and tired until your body replaces what we couldn’t. We used everything we got from the blood bank. They injected you with enough wolfsbane to kill everyone in this room. I need you to take it easy. Can you dothat?” ?

“Yes,” Thea said. “Doctor, I’m cold.”

“Another side effect of the blood loss.” He retrieved more blankets and put them over her. “Do you feel up to telling Liam what happened?”

“Yeah.”

The doctor mind linked Liam, who walked in a few seconds later. The doctor walked out to give them privacy.

“Thank the goddess you’re okay,” Liam said. “I’m so sorry we let you out of our sight.”

“Not your fault. I felt drawn to go outside, then to the woods. I didn’t even realize I was alone. Then suddenly I was on my back, things were hazy, and! couldn’t move.”
“The doctor said you were under a paralyzing or holding spell,” Liam said.

The rogue wanted to kill her since she saw his face, but the witch said they shouldn’t make an enemy right now. Their glorious master wouldn’t want it. It sounded like they’re planning something big, and they don’t want anyone finding out about it until they’re strong enough. They’re probably searching out any magical talent, gifted, whatever they
