Chapter 36 Swimming

The triplets came jogging up to Thea. They nodded to the Delta team encircling her.

“We came as soon as he let us out,” Alaric said, rubbing her arms up and down.

“I’m sorry. I had to get out of there,” she said.

“We know. It’s a lot,” Kai said.

“It is!”

The triplets gathered her in a big bear hug.

“How mad is your dad?”

“Don’t worry about him,” Conri said.

“Are you doing okay now?” Alaric said.

“I’m better. I still don’t like what’s happening. I don’t like that people have been lying to me my whole life or that I don’t have a say in any of this.”

“Do you understand why, though?” Alaric said.

“I don’t want to yet. I want to be mad,” Thea said, almost pouting.

“Okay. You can be mad,” Kai said, smiling. Thea almost never got upset. He liked seeing the vulnerable side of her.

“Did I miss anything important?” Thea said.

“Nothing that can’t wait. You want to go for a swim?” Kai said.

Thea nodded. “May as well take advantage of my time outside,” she said.

Alaric and Kai each took a hand, Conri wrapped his hand around her waist, and they made their way to the river. Delta team wolves circled the group at a distance.

When they got to the river, Thea started lifting up her dress.

“Woah,” Conri said. He grabbed her hands and pushed her dress back down.

 “What are you doing? Delta team can see.”

“Haven’t you been paying attention? Delta team was created to protect me. They’ve been watching us our entire lives. We just didn’t know it. Pretty sure there isn’t anything they haven’t seen.”
