Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna

Chapter 62

Chapter 62 First Wave

Thea went with her guards to the garage, and they drove to the gates. A group of people stood just outside the entrance. She recognized some of them from the conversation at lunch earlier that week. She approached them, Delta team flanking her.

“We brought our families,” one of the girls she recognized from school said.

Thea nodded. “I‘m glad you were able to make it out. I‘m Thea, the future Luna of New Dawn.

Come here. Tell me who you are.”

They came forward, heads bowed. The girls introduced their families.

“You have nothing to fear here,” Thea said. “We‘re going to take you inside, get you a warm meal, then show you to your rooms. You can shower, get some fresh clothes. See the pack doctor. Everything will be provided for you. Then when you‘re comfortable, you can decide if you want to join the pack.”

Tears poured down their faces. Thea felt the relief and hope in them. She knew this took the last bit of life, hope, and trust that some of them had. One didn‘t have hope at all. She just went along with it because she had no fight left. She would see there was reason to have hope soon enough.

“Come, get in the cars. We‘ll take you to the pack house,” Thea said.

They followed timidly.

A few minutes later, they walked into the dining hall. The triplets, Lizzy, and Alessia, were waiting, smiling

“Welcome,” they said together. The group bowed their heads to their potential leaders. They could tell the triplets were Alphas just by looking at them. “Come, sit.”

Thea introduced them, and servers brought out food for them. They ate wearily but hungrily as if they weren‘t sure when they would eat again.

“We‘ll have pack dinner soon too,” Thea said.

When they finished their plates, Thea, the triplets, Lizzy, and Alessia took the group of refugees to the block of rooms set aside for them. The families wanted to stay together, and the individuals were afraid to stay alone. They let them choose their roommates, then assigned them rooms, showed them the room of clothes, the showers, the pack doctor, everything. A few of the families and several individuals had been slaves. It had been a long time since they were given the opportunity to shower.

“My room is right here,” Alessia said. “If you have any questions, feel free to come to me.”

“Thank you, Alessia,” Thea said.

The newcomers were shocked that the Luna thanked an omega, but they didn‘t say anything.

“If you want, you can just relax, settle in,” Thea said. “Pack dinner is in a little less than an hour. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Alessia, will you bring them?”

“Yes, Luna.”

“I‘ll see you all soon,” Thea said.

She had Maverick mind link Davie.

“Luna, they‘re touring the village, currently in the Apothecary shop,” Maverick said.

“When they finish, have them come to the dining hall.”

Maverick‘s eyes glazed over. “They‘re on their way.”

A few minutes later, Davie and Quinn met Thea in the dining hall.

“I‘m so sorry for the interruption,” Thea said.

“No problem. I completely understand,” Quinn said.

“Thank you for staying.”

“Of course.”

They sat down at a table.

“So, going back to what we were talking about,” Thea said.

“The big thing is that I don‘t know what I don‘t know. It may shock you, me being a high school senior, but I‘ve never done this before.”

Quinn laughed at her levity.

“It sounds like you‘ll run the bar the way I envision it,” Thea said.

“I‘m certain our standards and values align,” Quinn said.

“And you‘ll make up for everything I don‘t see yet.”

“I know my way around the business. I‘ll teach you the things you don‘t know about yet.”

Thea smiled. “If possible, I‘d like to watch some of the hiring, the training, show I‘m invested. Once I‘m comfortable, I‘ll be as hands–off as you want. I want to be kept in the loop on what‘s going on–what you

need, what everyone needs, and how everything is going–but I don‘t want to be an overbearing presence or micromanage anything. You will have nearly full autonomy.”

“Absolutely,” Quinn said.

“I‘ll keep detailed records on all metrics, and I‘ll be able to show you concretely how the bar is doing. From customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, if there are any incidents, how they were handled, what‘s being done to handle or avoid it in the future.”

“Sounds perfect. Aside from having someone with experience to run the ship, I also need a manager because I won‘t have the time to commit to making it run properly. As this afternoon has demonstrated.”

Quinn nodded. “I would feel honored to run this ship for you so you can do what you do here. It seems pretty special.”

Thea‘s eyes twinkled, and Quinn‘s heart skipped a beat. He‘d never had that reaction to a woman before. It wasn‘t sexual attraction but the seeds of adoration being planted deep inside him. What kind of magic did this woman have?

“Anything you need from me, I will be available to you,” Thea said.

“We‘ll trade contact info. As I‘m thinking about it, I would like all staff to get basic self–defense training. Confidence training if necessary. Maybe be equipped with pepper spray, a taser, whatever they feel comfortable using if the need arises. I want everyone to be as safe as possible.”

“I can see to that,” Quinn said.

“At some point, I may send people your way to interview for jobs,” Thea said. “People who have recently joined my pack. If they aren‘t a good fit, I‘ll understand. I want the bar to run well, and they may

not have the confidence. I want to build them up, but that‘s not your responsibility.”

“Are you talking about the refugees you‘re taking in?” Quinn said.

“Yes,” Thea said. “Did Davie fill you in?”

“Yes.”

“I just realized it may put another layer of risk to employ them there. If their former packs want to retaliate, they could do it at the bar,” Thea said.

“We‘ll have excellent security, to rival an average pack‘s warriors,” Quinn said. “I wouldn‘t let the risk stop me from hiring them. Plus, if they know you‘re the owner, they could attack the bar regardless of if their former pack members work there.”

“Right,” Thea said. “Are you okay assuming this level of risk and danger? It‘s not your obligation or responsibility.”

“I believe in this cause,” Quinn said. “And I believe in you. With your permission and support, I‘ll make sure the bar, the staff, the patrons, and myself are safe.”

“You have my permission and support in that,”

Thea said.

“I also believe in lifting people up. I‘d be honored to have your refugees join the staff and learn to be confident and have autonomy.”

Thea smiled. “I feel good about you,” she said. “If you want some time to think it over — ”

“I don‘t need time,” Quinn said.

“We can get contracts drawn up with our pack lawyers, make sure we‘re both happy with terms, pay, benefits, everything.”

“Perfect.”

“In your opinion, how long before you think the bar can be profitable?” Thea said.

“I‘ll have to look at the numbers in detail, but I think we‘ll make back what you‘ll put into getting it up and running within a year. Then everything will be profit after that.”

“That sounds optimistic,” Thea said.

“I‘m optimistic,” Quinn said. “I think this is needed, and if we do it right, it‘s going to be very successful on all fronts.”

They went through a few more business details.

Then people started piling in for pack dinner. The triplets found Thea.

“Quinn, these are my mates,” Thea said. “The future Alphas of New Dawn, Alaric, Conri, and Kai Valko.” She pointed to each one in turn then turned back to Quinn. “This is Quinn Alden. He‘s going to be the manager of the bar.”

Thea felt the possessiveness flaring through the matebond. Quinn was a handsome, well–kempt, well– dressed man.

“Guys,” Thea thought. “If anything, I should be feeling possessive of you. He‘s gay.”

The triplets relaxed, and each shook Quinn‘s hand.

They made small talk for a minute, then Alessia walked in with the newcomers. Thea and the triplets excused themselves and met Alessia and her group in the middle.

“How are you all feeling?” Alaric said.

“Very good, Alpha,” one of the girls from school said. She seemed to be the designated speaker for the group.

“Have you made a decision on if you want to join the pack?” Thea said.

“Yes, we do.”

The triplets took turns going through the process with them. They each rejected their former pack. Then the triplets said the words to accept them into New Dawn. Everyone in the room was mesmerized as they felt the bond take hold, the new life added to the pack.

They saw the new members grow and brighten. With Thea standing next to them, they realized the new pack members started to resemble Thea‘s bright aura. The older members remembered experiencing the same thing when Thea was born. The whole pack had a glow they didn‘t see in other packs. Something clicked inside some of their minds.

Their pack had magic, and it was because of Thea. That night, those people told their children to pay attention. Something special was happening

They warned them not to tell anyone outside their pack because bad people may want to take it from them.

The old members welcomed the new members to the pack table. They introduced themselves and talked with them throughout dinner.

Thea took her seat, sitting on Conri‘s lap. Alpha Ulric and Luna Ada took their seats, and dinner was served.

Quinn leaned over to Davie.

“Did those people grow when they were accepted into the pack?” Quinn said just loudly enough for Davie to hear.

“You caught that, huh? Don‘t tell anyone outside this pack, but we‘re pretty sure Thea is goddess gifted.”

“I thought she hasn‘t shifted,” Quinn said.

“She may be a gifted human,” Davie said.

“Fascinating. I‘m glad you thought of me for this job. This is life–changing.”
