Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna

Chapter 45 The Hunt

“My beautiful, strong, loving, perfect daughter,” Thea’s father said. He embraced her. “I’m so proud of you. You will make an excellent Luna. You’ve already made the pack stronger.”

“Thanks, Dad,” Thea said. “Shouldn’t you go join the hunt?”

“In amoment. I want to spend time with my daughter. We’ll be flying back out tomorrow. We’re not done investigating out there. Tell me. Is there any doubt in your mind you’re meant to be Luna of this pack?”

“No. I love this pack.”

“But you’re sad,” her mother said.

“Of all the things that have happened and that I’ve learned in the past months, the things I’ve been preparing for,” Thea said. “I didn’t see this coming. I never considered the possibility that I would be human. I’m grieving the loss of something I never even had. I’ve been looking forward to the day I would shift ever since I can remember. This should be a happy day, and I feel like I’m dying inside.” |

Her mother and father sandwiched her in a hug as several wolves whimpered—Delta team members. They could feel her pain through the oath bond.

“Remember to have faith that the moon goddess has a plan for you. You’ve always put others’ needs before your own. She’ll reward that,” her father said.

“Take comfort in your mates,” her mother said.

“Remember, you’re not just human. You still have Alpha blood in you,” her father said.

Thea nodded. They released her.

“This mark is extraordinary,” Thea’s father said. “The color, the size, the intricate detail, and patterns. I’ve never heard of a mark like this.”

“I can’t see it,” Thea said.

“There are three distinct sections,” her mother said. “ But they merge to make one. I think Alaric’s mark is an iridescent white, Conri’s is silver, and Kai’s is gold. They overlap and mingle. It’s gorgeous.”

After a few more minutes, her father and mother shifted and joined the pack in the woods. The only people left were Delta team and the unshifted.

Lizzy came running up to her.

“Back so quick?” Thea said.

“Oh, like I was going to take down a deer. I did my social duty. Now I’m here for you. Thea, that was amazing. I can’t even describe what I felt-what we all felt. If that’s even a little of what the matebond feels like, I can’t wait to find my mate. I felt connected to the whole pack. I could feel each person individually. When we hugged, their touch was comforting and relaxing, like being hugged by your mother. Each pack member feels like true family. I care about them more, and! feel like they care about me more.”

Thea smiled.

“Good. That’s what the mating ceremony is supposed to do. Unite the pack.”

“I can’t believe most Lunas don’t know how to make that happen. Or don’t care enough to. How sad is it for all the packs out there with selfish leaders? We are so lucky. Goddess, I’m on such a high right now. It’s like I love everyone. Everyone’s been saying it forever, but you make the pack stronger.”
