Chapter 69


    Chapter 69 Single Combat


    Kaiser carried Thea to the shower, and ric and Conri helped him bathe her. When she saw them


    naked earlier, she averted her eyes so quickly she didn’t get a good look. After what they’d just done,


    she couldn’t keep herself from staring. She’d seen several naked men that day. These men were well


    endowed. Giant. They were muscled, tall, strong, gorgeous.


    “You like what you see?” Kaiser thought to her.


    She looked up. He had the biggest grin on his face.


    So did Conri and ric.


    “I’m supposed to want that, right?” Thea thought, embarrassed. “I have no control over it?”


    “Yeah, babe,” Conri said out loud. “We’re yours.”


    “All yours,” ric said. “Every part.”


    Thea’s heart raced.


    “When you’re ready, darling,” Kaiser said.


    Shortly after, they were all lying in the oversized bed that already smelled like all four of them.


    “Is it normal for one person to have three mates?” Thea said.


    “No,” the triplets said in unison.


    “Hmm. I must have done something good in a past life to wake up to you three.”


    “We’re the lucky ones,” ric said.


    “That seems unlikely. I’ve known you for a matter of hours, and I’m convinced no one on the


    couldpare to you, and there’s three of you.” Thea gasped. “I just realized, I was so caught up in


    what you guys were making me feel, I didn’t do anything for you.”


    “That’s okay, babe,” Conri said. “You don’t have to,”


    “That doesn’t seem fair,” she said.


    “You’ve done plenty for us in the past, darling,” Kaiser said. “And you marked me. That’s the best thing


    in the world.”


    “That was incredible,” Thea said. “You all already marked me, right?”


    “Yeah,” ric said.


    “And I need to mark you two still?”


    “Yeah,” Conri said.


    **This morning, I didn’t even know what mates were. Or who you guys were. I wasn’t nning on any


    of this. I couldn’t fight it, though. I think you three could convince me to do anything. I know I’ve only


    known you for a few hours, but I can’t


    imagine living without you.”


    Thea felt the relief in each of them, which made her feel even more satire in whatever this mates


    thing was


    “I don’t even know what myst name is, but I feelpletely one about everything because I have


    you guys. How strange is that?”


    “Yourst name is Lyall,” ric said. “But you could change it to ourst name, Valko. We haven’t


    talked about that yet.”


    “Are we_” Thea paused. “Are we married?’”


    “Kind of, but no. We’re mated. We marked you in a mating ceremony,” Conri said. “That’s the werewolf


    equivalent of a wedding. The marks are what bind us together. The human legal ceremony doesn’t


    mean much to us. Some mates get the paperwork done. It just depends on the couple.”


    “But I wouldn’t be able to marry all three of you legally,” Thea said.


    “Oh yeah,” Conri said. “I guess you’d have to choose one of us.”


    “I don’t like that.” They were silent for a bit. “What are our lives like? What do we usually do?”


    “We train in martial arts. We go to school. We used to lead training for the rest of the pack, but we


    stopped that recently. Otherwise, we’re usually doing stuff for the pack,” ric said.


    “I’m assuming we’ve had sex already, right?” Thea said.


    “Yes,” Conri said.


    Thea saw the images in Kaiser’s mind, and they made her stomach clench in anticipation.


    “What do you guys like?” Thea said.


    “Sex-wise?” ric said.


    “Yeah.”


    “We just like you,” Kaiser said.


    “Hmmm. What do I like?”


    The triplets smiled.


    “I think you like us,” Kaiser said.


    “That makes sense,” Thea said. She thought about what she saw in the shower, and it filled her with


    desire. “Could we go for another run? I suddenly have all this energy.”


    “Of course, my love,” ric said.


    This time, Thea stayed in charge of her body as they ran through the woods. She yed with the


    triplets as they ran. She faked them out and ran in the opposite direction.


    She felt something pull her. She needed to go that way. She didn’t realize she lost the triplets and Delta


    team until she felt a change in thend like it no longer belonged to her.


    “Thea, where are you?” Kaiser thought to her mind.


    “I don’t know,” she thought back.


    Suddenly, she felt a dark presence. Her fur stood on end. She growled and heard a growl in return.


    A big grey wolf stepped out into view, teeth bared.


    “Get ready to fight,” Zoe said to Thea,


    “I don’t know how


    “Yes, you do.”


    “If you say so.”


    The grey wolf approached. When it got within striking distance, it lunged. It seemed obvious what he


    was going to do. Thea sidestepped out of the way and sunk her teeth into the grey wolf’s nk as he


    passed. She bit down fast and hard, shook her head then released. A chunk of flesh hung from the


    wolf’s side, blood gushing from the wound.


    The grey wolf circled Thea, favoring his injured side. She could tell he was going to lunge for her again.


    She baited him, turning her head slightly to expose her neck. He lunged for it, stretching out and baring


    his own neck to reach her. She anticipated his trajectory, ducked, and got under his head. She closed


    her jaw around his throat, whipped her head to the side, and tossed him several feet


    The wolf backed away, bleeding from his neck She could have gone for the kill with his throat in her


    mouth. He knew it. He tried to lick the wound on his side as Thea watched him.


    Somehow she knew she had already beat him. She acted on instinct and shifted back to her human


    form, not noticing her nudity this time. The wolf looked at her and thought he had a chance to kill her.


    He started toward her. She looked him dead in the eyes, and he halted.


    “Shift,” she said. The wolf cowered. “Shift!” she felt something extra in her voice again, and the wolf


    turned into a human male.


    Just then, the triplets and Delta team came upon them.


    “Thea! Are you okay?” Kaiser said in mind link. His wolf got between her and the male clutching his


    side and neck. ric and Conri nked her in wolf form, sniffing to see if she was injured.


    “I’m fine,” Thea said. “This isn’t my blood. It’s his.”


    “I don’t care if you have a wolf now, you bitch, you ruined my life!” the male cried out. His voice


    sounded garbled. His throat was healing from the bite,


    The Delta team wolves growled at him.

    “What’s he talking about?” Thea said.


    “That’s Xavier Knight,” Kaiser thought to her. “He’s wanted for crimes you helped uncover. He’s been


    missing for a week. What made youe out here? We’re off our packnds.”


    “I felt drawn here,” Thea thought. “Like there was something I needed to see or do. I think it was this


    Xavier guy.”


    “Luna, what do you want us to do with him?” one of the Delta team wolves mind linked her.


    She was confused for a moment. “Did he just call me Luna? I thought my name was Thea?” Thea


    thought.


    “It is. Luna is the title for the female leader of the pack,” Kaiser thought to her.


    “Why is he calling me that then?”


    “We’re the future Alphas, the male leader of the pack. Since you’re our mate, you’re the future Luna of


    the pack,” Kaiser thought to her.


    “But I don’t know anything about anything. How can I lead a pack?”


    “Don’t worry about it for now. Tell them to take him to the dungeons,” Kaiser thought to her.


    “We should take him to the dungeons, right?”


    Thea said out loud.


    “And notify Alpha Knight that we found him,” ric said in mind link. “We need to get you back on pack


    lands, Thea. Let Delta team take care of Xavier.”


    “Okay,” Thea said in mind link. She shifted back to her wolf and trotted off the way she came, the


    triplets nking her.


    “Don’t lose us this time,” Kaiser said in mind link.


    “I won’t.”


    “Did you use an Alpha tone to force him to shift back there?” Conri said.


    “What’s an Alpha tone?”


    “Tell us what happened,” ric said.


    She told them.


    “Oh my goddess,” Conri said. “Thea, Xavier is the oldest son of a neighboring pack’s Alpha. You just


    beat him in singlebat, and he couldn’t fight your Alphamand.”


    “Did I do something wrong? Did I get us in trouble?”


    “No. Well, yes,” Conri said. “Don’t go running off alone. Ournd is surrounded by neutralnds, so


    you’re not trespassing, but there are dangers. You don’t remember, but people have been trying to hurt


    you or kidnap you. You have a guard detail for a reason.”


    “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize.”


    “It’s our fault for not telling you,” ric said.


    “But I didn’t get us in trouble? That wolf attacked me. I was just defending myself.”


    “No. That’s fine. Goddess, you don’t even know about rogues anymore,” ric said.


    “What are rogues?”


    “Werewolves without a pack,” Conri said. “They usually get kicked out of their packs for breaking the


    rules. They tend to be feral, evil, vicious wolves. They kill indiscriminately.”


    “Eesh.”


    “Thea, there are a lot of dangers,” Kaiser said. “Just, don’t go anywhere without us.”
