didn’t get obsessed with girls, but this one seemed different.
I knew that my brothers were feeling the same way, because every time I mentioned it, they just nodded. I wasn’t the only one who felt like they were obsessed with this girl nightly. They could practically read my mind.
I wondered if anything was going to come of this. What the hell did it mean if the three of us just continuously dreamed about this girl every night? Did we have to fuck her to get it out of our system? Did we have to fuck her together? Or separately?
Before I had met them, I would never have such thoughts, but now, they almost seemed natural, even if they were foreign to me.
There were clearly things about being a triplet that I didn’t understand, and this was one of them.
I did understand about being a bear in human form, though, and having the bear within you come out. That was an entirely different matter. We were animals when we were born, and our human forms were just a cover. Yes, some preferred it to their bear forms, but those ones usually had something wrong with them. We wanted to make a fortune, so we had to be humans. The animal within was unleashed every chance we got, and it still didn’t feel like it was often enough.
“I went to see her at the store she works at,” Jacob finally confessed one morning. The two of us turned to him in shock.
“What?” Johnathan said. “When?”
“The day after the dinner,” he said. “I just wanted to make sure she was safe. If she had a black eye or something, I would have found her boyfriend and beaten the shit out of him.”
“Jacob, you can’t just do that,” Jonathan said. “That is wolf stuff and I thought we agreed that we were going to discuss it before we did anything like that.”
“Well, I went ahead and did it,” Jacobs said. “And I gave her my card.”
“Why?” I asked. “Do you think she’s going to call?”
“No,” Jacob said. “But I put a chip in that card.”
I roared with laughter
“Oh my God, you’re a genius,” I said. “So we can see where she took it?”
“Hopefully, she didn’t just take it straight to the garbage can,” I replied. Jacob rolled his eyes at me and turned on his phone. He pulled up the app that we used to track the microchips we put in various things. Mostly, we used them for the animals that went on trail rides, but I guess Jacob had found a new way to use them.
“I think she took it home,” he said, as he looked at his phone. “See that? That’s a residential complex.”
“I know that place,” Johnathon said. “It’s in a really shitty part of town.”
“Yeah,” I said. “It totally is. Why would she live there?”
“Maybe that’s all she could afford?”
“She lives with him, doesn’t she?” I asked. “You think that if he worked…”
“Maybe he doesn’t work?” Jacob suggested.
“OK, we have to do more digging on this,” I said. Jonathan pulled up his laptop and plugged in the address. It took some digging, but he eventually found exactly what he wanted to find.
“So…” he said, she read straight from the website he was looking at. “Matthew is a wolf shifter, and he’s pretty low on the totem pole. However, something we have to keep in mind is wolves like to make these fake profiles to throw off the scent of the other shifters. So while I think what I have is accurate information, you could find out later that he’s actually the alpha.”
“OK, so what you have is garbage,” I said, and Johnathan rolled his eyes at me.
“Not very nice,” he said, and I snorted.
“What are we, five?” I replied.
“No,” Jacob said. “And we never got the chance to be together when we were five, so let's’ not fight over that now.”
I paused.
“I wonder what life would have been like,” I said. “If we did get the chance to get to be together when we were five.”
“Well, I was with my other brothers,” Jacobs said. “And it was fine. But...I think it would have been better for us, because we would have always felt like half of us was missing.”
I felt like more than half of me was missing most of my childhood. I didn’t tell Jacob that, because I understood what he was trying to say. Most of my childhood, I would say it was more like three-quarters of me
