Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna Chapter 84

Welcome Wagon

Right after the bell rang to start sixth period, a group congregated around Thea’s locker. They made their way to New Dawn, got a warm meal, saw the pack doctor. Thea and the triplets showed them their new rooms, showers, the clothes room.

A little while later, Thea and the triplets gathered all the newcomers from school and the rescue operation. Cassandra, Arella, and Ophelia latched onto Thea again.

“They’ve imprinted on you like baby ducks,” Kai thought to Thea.

“Baby ducks don’t give you cryptic advice about the future,” Thea thought back.

“No, they don’t.” He chuckled.

“We understand if you need more time,” Conri said to the group. “ But are any of you ready to join our pack?”

The whole group raised their hands. Thea smiled.

“First thing, you have to reject your old packs,” Alaric said.

Alaric told them what words to say. They all said the words. Weights were lifted from their bodies. They all felt lighter.

“Next step, we accept you into New Dawn. If you could form a line, we’ll get everyone done right now,” Kai said.

They lined up, and each person walked up to the triplets and gave them their name. Thea stood nearby. The triplets took turns saying the words to accept each person into the pack. Thea beckoned each new member over to her afterward. She wrote down their name, age, former pack, what experience they had, and if they knew of any interests they had going forward. None of the former slaves had any education. They had never gone to school. The adults would need basic schooling. The children would need remedial lessons to catch up but eventually could go to school. Arella, Cassandra, and Ophelia stood beside Thea the whole time, watching her.

Thea felt into each one and made notes about what she felt. She could sense warrior blood in many of them. She wondered at what point in their bloodline they were demoted to omegas or slaves— starved so they could never reach their full potential or strength, beaten down mentally from day one, so they never believed they could be more than slaves. In others, she felt an aptitude for academics, healing, administration, teaching, all sorts of things they never had the opportunity to explore. She would make sure they had the opportunity here.

She could also sense that the latent energy of the pack was healing them. Much like she had done with Xavier, their DNA was repairing itself and reaching its highest potential. She also sensed that each one was grateful to be there. No one had nefarious intentions.

There was still fear in most of them. They thought this must be some kind of trap to get more slaves. Time would heal that.

Halfway through they could see the difference in the people who were now pack members and the ones who weren’t yet. The pack members were glowing, looked healthier, taller, more confident. The others were beat down, skinny, small. Thea had the newcomers from the previous week come to her as well. Every new pack member was interviewed.

The three girls were last. Thea had to send them over to the triplets.

“It’s your turn if you want to join our pack,” Thea said.

They reluctantly left her, gave the triplets their names, let them accept them into the pack, and hurried back to Thea. When she felt into them, they felt different than everyone else. She wasn’t sure why. She didn’t know what they felt like. They just didn’t feel the same as everyone else. Maybe it was magic she was feeling. Maybe that was what oracles felt like. She just didn’t know.

They had nearly two hundred new pack members from six different packs when they finished. A third were male. An average pack size was two hundred wolves. That meant these packs lost nearly twenty percent of their people. If they didn’t notice the missing members before, they would have felt them reject and leave the pack just now. It would have been a dramatic scene. The whole pack feeling the loss of so many.

“We want you to discover what your interests are,” Thea said to the group. “If you haven’t been allowed to learn to read, we’ll provide classes for you. You can get a job outside the pack, or if there’s something inside the pack you want to do, we’ll match you with your interests.”

The group looked at each other in awe. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Do any of you know more people who want to leave your old packs?” Thea said. “I’d like to get an idea of how many more people are in bad situations. I know some of them won’t know they have another option. Some may not want to leave or may not believe it would be any better somewhere else. Think about it. We’ll talk about it later. Also, I’d like to get an idea of who in your old packs is doing the abusing. None of you are under any obligation to talk about yourselves or the abuse you endured. But if you could give me an idea of who the people were doing the abusing, that

would be helpful. Is it the Alpha only? Are there warriors who bully others? Is everyone in on it? Any information will be helpful.”

“For now,” Conri said. “It’s time for pack training. Everyone in New Dawn learns the basics of self- defense. If you have an aptitude for fighting and want to pursue it, you can get advanced training, even join the warriors. You have plenty of time to decide. Follow me!”

Conri led the group outside to the training field. Several pack warriors were leading the training. He went up to them, and training halted.

“We have new pack members today. This is their first-ever training lesson,” Conri said out loud. Then he mind linked the old members of the pack. “Help them. Make friends with them. Build them up.”

People from the training field walked over to the newcomers and guided them into the group, partnering with them. Lizzy, Alessia, and another girl whose name she learned was Tessa, came up to Thea and the three girls.

“Go with them,” Thea said to the girls. “They’ll show you what to do.”

The girls looked at Thea, then finally let go of her.

“Good girls,” Thea said.

The warriors started explaining some basics to the group. “It may seem intimidating at first, but you will get used to it. Training will build up your confidence. You can’t always count on someone else to be there to protect you. You will learn how to fight back if need be. Our pack is the biggest and strongest in the area. We don’t

usually have issues with anyone trying to attack us. Some people get jobs in the city, and we want you to be able to protect yourselves no matter where you are.” “They’re doing good,” Alaric said in mind link. “Let’s go.”
