Ch 30 House Arrest

Monday morning, the triplets and Thea trained in the indoor gym, as Liam silently observed. They never used the indoor gym. When they led training, there were too many people to fit indoors. Plus, they were werewolves. They belonged outdoors. But the indoor gym was better than nothing. 

The Alpha was serious about her not leaving the pack house. The triplets knew she would need some normalcy and physical exertion to survive house arrest, so they didn’t try to turn training into a makeout session.

They kissed her goodbye when they left for school. She went straight to the library to continue her research into goddess gifts and gifted. An hour in, her guard detail switched. She said goodbye to Liam and hello to Owen, Lizzy’s dad. He looked like Lizzy —dirty blonde hair and brown eyes.

“Hi, Mr. Williams,” Thea said.

“Please, Luna, call me Owen,” he said. “It doesn’t feel right with you going to shift soon.”

“I don’t feel ready to be a grown-up, if I’m being honest.”

“You’re more grown up than most people ever will be. Always have been.”

“Thank you, Mr—Owen. How long is your shift?”

“Twelve hours.”

“Eesh. Sorry, it’s going to be pretty boring. I plan to be in the library most of the day.”

“Don’t worry about me.”

“Don’t know how to do that,” Thea said.

Owen smiled, and Thea got back to researching. She took a break for lunch, checked her phone. She had a text from Misty.

“Hey, you’re not at school. Are you okay?”

Thea texted back. “I’m fine. Call me when you get a minute, and I’ll tell you all about it.” Her phone rang a few seconds later.

“Hey,” she said.

“Hey, I’m at lunch right now. What’s up?” Misty said.

“I’m under house arrest for the foreseeable future.”

“What? Why?”

“I guess there were some rogues following us on Saturday. My Alpha is erring on the side of caution until they know more.”

“He thinks they want to kidnap and ransom you as the future Luna, huh?” 

“So dumb.”

“Not really,” Misty said. 

“I mean, it sucks for you, but it happens, even to shifted she-wolves. You’re extra vulnerable until you shift. I bet once you do, things will go back to normal. Sooner if they figure out who they are and take care of the threat.”

“Positive thinking, I like it.”

“The triplets looked on edge today. I thought it was just because they didn’t have you to calm them down, but now I’m thinking they’re worried about you.”

“Yeah, that’s going around.” Thea pushed food around on her plate.
