    When she walked by him at the dining table, Kai pulled Thea onto hisp. She expected a reprimand


    from their parents, but when she nced over at them, they were all smiling and sharing knowing


    looks.


    “I want to lick the sweat from your body,” Kai whispered in her ear.


    “You’re making me wet,” she whispered back in his ear.


    “Mmm, I can take care of that too,” he whispered. Kai kissed her neck, turned Thea’s head to face him,


    and trailed kisses up to her mouth. In a good and generous mood, Thea followed his lead, submitting to


    him in front of everyone at the table. A few gasps sounded, followed by excited chattering.


    “My turn,” Conri said, pulling her onto hisp. Theaughed, wrapped her arms around him, and kissed


    him. Conri squeezed her ass under the table, and she bit back a moan before ric pulled her over


    and kissed her too.


    The dining hall erupted in apuse. ric broke the kiss and smiled at her. He kissed her again then


    set her on himself and Conri, each leg draped over one of theirs. The triplets grabbed their peaches off


    their tes and twisted them in half. They each put a hand somewhere on Thea as they ate with the


    other one.


    Thea blushed when she saw everyone in the room staring at them and cheering. The kids at school


    and in training may have seen them together, but the older pack members hadn’t yet. She braved a


    nce over at their parents. To her surprise, they were all beaming with joy and pride. The Alpha stood


    up and raised a ss. °


    “It’s about time, huh?” Everyone banged the table and howled happily. “Let’s bring out the wine. Tonight


    we celebrate!” |


    More cheering. The people who worked the dinner service passed around wine bottles and sses.


    Thea looked at the triplets, confused.


    “We’ve been telling you we’re mates, and you’re the future Luna. Everyone knows it,” Kai said. He


    leaned over and kissed her.


    When everyone had a ss of wine, including the servers, the Alpha raised his ss into the air.


    “To young love and the future of this pack!”


    “Hear! Hear!” The whole pack roared in unison then took a drink of the wine. Thea btedly joined


    them, sipping from her ss.


    “Everyone loves you,” ric whispered against her neck.


    Pack members came by, congratted, and wished the four well throughout dinner. Thea was


    overwhelmed. The older she-wolves pressed their cheeks to Thea’s to show they epted her as their


    future Luna.


    “I’m so proud of you, dear,” Thea’s mother said as she pressed her cheek to her daughter’s.


    Proud that she just kissed three boys in front of her? What? 1


    “I’ ve been waiting for this since the day you were born,” Luna Ada said as she rubbed her cheek


    against Thea’s. “You’ve always been the best thing for my sons. ] can’t wait until you shift, and we can


    hold the mating ceremony.” She gathered all four of them into a hug, kissed each head, then walked


    back to her seat, tears in her eyes.


    Beta Walter, Thea’s father, took his turn and congratted them. “I couldn’t ask for better men for my


    only daughter. Congrattions, Alphas, Luna.”


    Thea started at the title. She never expected to hear her father call her Luna.


    Alpha Ulric came over. “Congrattions. I’d like t0 see you all in my office first thing tomorrow


    morning.”


    “Yes, sir,” they said.


    As soon as it started to die down, the triplets took Thea up to her room.


    “What just happened?” Thea said.


    “The pack epted you as their future Luna,” Conri said.


    “But we haven’t shifted yet,” she said. Her heart was racing, and she felt like she couldn’t breathe.


    “This is a good thing,” Kai said. “This should bea happy night.”


    “What if we’re not mates?” Thea whispered.


    “Don’t you feel it?” Conri said.


    “We can’t know until we shift!” Thea said. She was hyperventting.


    “Hey,” ric said. He gathered her in his arms. “ We are mates, beautiful. We are.” She looked up into


    his eyes, tears pooling in hers. “Thea.” He cupped her cheek with his hand. She leaned into his touch.


    “There are stories of couples who think they’re mates, and when they shift, they find out they’re not,”


    Thea said. “It happens all the time.”


    “That’s not going to be us,” ric said.


    “You can’t know that,” Thea said.


    Conri and Kai joined ric around Thea.


    “Let’s get you into a hot bath,” Kai said.


    They led her to the bathroom. Kai turned on the water for the giant hot tub and added calming oils and


    salts. They undressed and got in the tub.


    Kai turned the jets on then swam over to Thea. He ced her between his legs, leaned her against his


    chest, and reclined.


    ‘Just rx, darling,” Kai said.


    He started massaging her shoulders. ric massaged her feet, and Conri worked on her hands and


    arms.


    “There’s nothing to stress about, darling.”


    The fear that they weren’t mates was intense, but their touch felt so good. ric moved up to her


    calves, and Kai worked down her back. Conri started caressing her stomach.


    Soon, she was rxed. Maybe she should just enjoy the time she had with the triplets. If they turned


    out not to be mates, she would at least have these memories, right? If she could will it by wanting it,


    they’d be mates, but it was entirely out of her control. Somehow they wanted her now. That could be


    enough.
