Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna Chapter 79

All-Nighter

Thea and the triplets went back to their room to rest for a few hours. When it was time, they got up, dressed in black clothes they could move easily in, and met Delta team in the garage. Everyone was decked out in military combat gear, vests filled with weapons and tools, all designed so they could shift without destroying it. There were tearaway spots strategically placed.

They put protective gear on Thea and the triplets. Everyone took antidote pills.

“We have weapons, and everything is ready to go,” Liam said. “Any word from the refugees?”

Thea looked at her phone. “Everything looks good,” she said. “There’s something I want to do before we go. Everyone just wait a second.” She closed her eyes, connected with the Earth, pulled its energy up, and funneled it into everyone there. She knew they were more alert, stronger, more awake. She opened her eyes. Everyone looked at her in awe. “Okay. Let’s go.”

They piled into SUVs and headed toward the first pickup location. As they approached it, Thea started to feel out with her senses. The woods were filled with bugs, animals, plants. She sensed a group of people, scared, working their way out of the woods toward the road. She also sensed other wolves spaced out, not afraid, keeping watch on their perimeters. The frightened group was already past them. They’d gone unnoticed. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“They’re close,” Thea said out loud and in mind link. “Pull over in about a hundred yards.” The drivers pulled over and idled the vehicles. She focused on the group. The overwhelming feeling from them was fear. She didn’t feel any nefarious intentions. “I think this group is clear. They’re past the patrolmen. No one is following them. They feel good,” she said in mind link to the whole team.

A few seconds later, a group of people in ratty clothing emerged from the trees. All the SUVs opened their doors. Thea stepped out, followed by the triplets.

“Let’s go to the bar, friends,” Thea called out. The group sighed in relief. “Come, get in the cars, quickly.”

The group split up, ran to the SUVs, and piled in. Seconds later, the convoy was driving back to New Dawn. When they reached the gates, the guards waved them through. They pulled up to the pack house entrance, where Lizzy and Alessia stood, waiting. Everyone piled out of the SUVs.

Thea and the triplets walked up to Lizzy and Alessia, turned, and faced the refugees.

“Welcome to New Dawn,” Alaric said. “Lizzy and Alessia are going to get you settled in. We have to go pick up more people. Follow them.”

“Come with us,” Lizzy said. She walked through the open doors and motioned for the group to follow her. They did. Hesitantly.

“It’s safe,” Thea said. “You’re safe now.”

They bowed their heads as they passed Thea and the triplets.

The next two pickups went about the same.

Coming up on the fourth location, Thea sensed that a patrolman caught the group sneaking out. He was confused. He was questioning them. They didn’t know what to say. Thea focused on the patrolman. She started pulling his energy out and sending it into the Earth. She knew he was getting weaker, but it wasn’t enough. She needed to incapacitate him.

She reached into his mind and searched for something. Maybe she could put him to sleep. She remembered the people sleeping in the pack house and how their brain wave pattern was different.

She focused on the patrolman’s brain waves and thought about them being like the sleeping people’s. She felt the thud in the Earth where he fell, unconscious.

The refugees were confused, but they knew this was their opportunity. They ran.

“It’s going to be a few minutes,” Thea said in mind link. “They got caught, but they’re on their way now.”

Thea felt out to the other patrolmen. Did the one guy mind link them before he passed out? They weren’t running after the group, so he must not have. That was lucky.

The last pickup of the night wasn’t so lucky.

The refugees were caught by a patrolman too, but he was smarter than the last one. He signaled the other patrolmen to come to him. The group of refugees thought they were going to kill them. At best, they would drag them back to their pack, Crescent Moon, and punish them. They knew their only chance was to run, so they ran.

“Patrolmen caught them, they’re running, but they’re being followed,” Thea said in mind link.

“Once they cross the border, we can intervene,” Liam said in mind link.

“I’m going to try to slow down the patrolmen,” Thea said.

She felt out, isolated the chasers—the ones without fear—and started draining their energy. She could sense that they were slowing. One tripped and fell.

A wolf burst from the treeline.

“That one’s safe,” Thea said in mind link.

“Here! ” Kai yelled out, waving his arm.

The Delta team men were out of the vehicles and halfway to the treeline. They waved the runner through to the SUVs. It shifted back into a human.

“Get in,” Thea said, beckoning her over. She handed her a shirt and shorts. “You’re safe.” The young woman put the clothes on and got in the SUV, breathing hard, eyes wide.

Thea stood up, holding onto the handrail to see over the line of men. Another wolf burst through the treeline.

Kai called it over. Delta team let it through. A few more made it to the SUV. Then humans, too young to shift, broke through, wolves hot on their heels. Several were tackled by the wolves as soon as they exited the woods. Delta team moved forward, taking weapons out of their vests. Thea worked harder to drain the wolves of their energy. Some of Delta team shifted into wolves and attacked. The humans who got free ran toward the triplets, who were calling them over, helping them into different vehicles.

Thea felt something in the woods. A wave of emotion. Panic. Fear. Pain. Screams for help. Some of the refugees were captured in the woods and being dragged back. The slowest, weakest humans. The ones who couldn’t outrun the patrolmen. She felt them calling out to her to help. They weren ’t back on pack lands yet, but they would be soon.

Thea looked around. Everyone else was occupied—a tangled mess of wolves and humans fighting. They were needed here.

She jumped out of the SUV, shifted midair, and ran into the woods.
