Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna

Chapter 32

Ch 32 Assistant

Lizzy had to spend every day for a week after school in training to be Thea’s assistant.

“It’s a bigger deal than I thought,” Lizzy said. “ Luna Ada’s assistant is super strict. I have to behave a certain way in public, private, and with you— depending on where we are and who we’re around. There’s a lot of stuff I’1] do for you that you won’t even know about, and once you become Luna, yeah. It’ll be intense. So I can start now, but there will be more training as you get closer to becoming Luna.”

“Do you still want to do it?” Thea said.

“Of course! I’m not going to let someone else mess it up!”

After that, Lizzy joined her every day after school in the library. Together they were making a substantial stack of Xeroxes about goddess gifts and gifted. She also went to a few bars and showed them to Thea on video chat.

When the relationship books arrived, Thea put them in an unused corner in the library, and when she needed a break from goddess gift research, she read those or did school work. Since she was going through nearly every book in the library, she started a Xerox stack for any information she found on matebonds as well. If she was going to change the curriculum, she needed something to change it to, and she needed to be prepared to back up her arguments when she had the meeting about it.

“Goddess, those triplets are lucky,” Lizzy said. “ With everything going on, you make the time to research how to have the perfect relationship.”

“I have zero experience! I don’t want to mess it up,” Thea said. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“I have the best Luna in the world.”

Thea rolled her eyes. “You were right, by the way.”

“About what?” :

“One wear, and they’re shredded.”

Lizzy laughed. “l get you more. I’ll keep a steady stream coming in. I wonder if there’s a discount for buying in bulk.”

“And more condoms,” she whispered so just Lizzy could hear.

Lizzy gasped. “Has my lady become a woman?” Thea blushed. “Not quite.”

“I need to hear the details.”

“My guards hear the details, I’m sure. It’s so embarrassing. I know the pack house walls are all insulated with soundproof materials, but I’m pretty sure it’s not enough. I can’t look them in the eye in the morning without turning beet red.” Lizzy laughed.

“That loud, huh?”

“The things they do to me. I have no control over the sounds I make.”

‘Just think what it’Ll be like once you’ve shifted, marked, and mated.”

“I can’t imagine how it can get any better.”

Lizzy smiled at her. “I’m really happy for you.”

“I’m surprised, but also not surprised how different they are in the bedroom. I had no experience going into this, I don’t know why I assumed it would all be the same, but it’s not. They each make me feel something that completes me in a way. I don’t know how to explain it.”

“You have this extra glow about you. You look really happy.”

“It’s crazy. Even with everything going on, being under house arrest, having guards shadow my every move, and not having any privacy, the stress of the investigation, knowing people have been on our lands, just, all of it. Even with all that, being with them has been amazing. We’re growing closer in so many ways. I’m seeing all these new sides of them.”

Lizzy sighed in contentment.

“I think I’m ready for some more risque lingerie.”

“I got you, boo,” Lizzy said.

At the end of the week, they had made it through a good portion of their pack library.

“All these Xeroxes, and there’s not a lot of useful information,” Thea said.

“It’s mostly the same story every time. Goddess- gifted comes of age, gets kidnapped, never to be seen or heard from again.”

“We need to see if the packs that kidnapped them in the past have records on them. Then maybe we could get real information.”

“That sounds kind of dangerous,” Lizzy said.

“They’re all long dead. These are histories. Bad Alphas from a long time ago.”

“But if their packs were okay doing that before, it’s likely they’d be okay doing it now. Culture stays pretty consistent like that. Bad Alphas tend to raise bad Alphas as sons. If they figure out you’re gifted, they’ll invite you to see their library, then boom! You’ve checked into the Hotel California.” ‘

“Because they won’t let me leave?”

“Yeah!”

“Then how do we look for more information discreetly?”

“I don’t know if you can. You don’t exactly fly under the radar.”

Thea sighed. “You have a good point about culture staying consistent. If we identify the packs that stole goddess-gifted, that could give Delta team a place to start their investigation.” “Smarter and safer than trying to look in their libraries,” Lizzy said.

“You know, the weaker packs may be looking for something to strengthen them. They could also be interested parties.”

“Then there are rogues, vampires, witches.”

Thea sighed. “Okay, let’s see if we can read between the lines with the information we’ve got. The gifts themselves vary. That seems to be where we have the most information.”

“We’ve read about being able to control] an element like fire, water. There are the healers. Others who can raise the dead. Weather manipulation. Nature gifts— making plants grow. Animal gifts—being able to talk to animals.”

“Wait,” Thea said.

“If this is moon magic, would witches be able to extract the magic from the gifted? Maybe they use their blood in spells or something.”

“There are lots of reasons witches could want a goddess- gifted werewolf. Vampires too. Unfortunately, we don’t know what they could do with gifted wolves because they don’t share information.”

“Why do I have the feeling that they would have better records and knowledge about this than us?”

“Because they’re probably the ones who stole them,” Lizzy said.

“Why can’t we all just get along? Why does there have to be such animosity? Everyone is trying to hoard power.” °

“Is there anyone we know with diplomatic ties to them?”

“I’ll ask around,” Thea said.

“Okay, anyway, we know that the gifts start to show after they shift. It takes time to learn to control them. Often they’re taken before they do. So we don’t know if their powers were more than what’s written.”

“But, there are also the accounts of war and the weird things that have happened in wars. Like forest fires pushing an army right into a trap. It sounds like someone with a gift for controlling fire was involved.”

“Yeah. Strange accounts of weather phenomena. A nentire army fighting like Alphas. Alphas being resurrected, considered immortal. Those packs definitely stole a goddess-gifted.” |

“Wait. What about the school library? They teach history, mythology, religion. They must have books on it.”

“I check it out on Monday,” Lizzy said.

“Maybe some of the teachers know something.”

“l see what I can discreetly find out,” Lizzy said.
