Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna

Chapter 38: Oath Ceremony

The next day the Delta recruits got down to business. Liam debriefed them on their military tours, experience, and what they learned in private security or private investigation. He asked them each individually what their plans were and if they still wanted to join Delta team. They all answered in the affirmative.

“You’ll have to be interviewed and vetted by the Alpha,” Liam said. 

“We’ll go through the basics 0f how the team operates and see if you want to specialize in a particular area. If everything checks out, you should be able to take your oath before Thea’s first shift.”

After their debriefing with Liam, each man went straight to the Alpha to be interviewed. As expected, every man was trustworthy, loyal, and ready to commit.

The potential members spent the next couple of weeks training with the Delta team, shadowing the guard detail, contributing to surveillance, and investigating leads. 

Each man showed competence, devotion, focus, and adapted quickly. They also joined Thea and the triplets for their early morning training sessions. They were all very pleased with all four of their skills. Thea enjoyed having fresh blood to spar with her.

The time came for them to take their oath. Thea’s parents flew in for the day. Now that Thea knew about the real purpose of Delta team, they expected her to be at the ceremony. 

Alpha Ulric called her and the triplets into his office with Beta

Walter and Liam to go over what was expected of her.

“Allin all, we have four joining straight from their military tours and six who also spent time in private security or private investigation. That’s ten new team members, bringing the total to twenty-two,” Liam said.

“They’ ll be swearing their allegiance directly to you, Thea,” Alpha Ulric said. 

“You’ll be expected to accept their oaths.”

“How do I do that?” Thea said.

“There are a few ways, traditionally. You can simply say, ‘I accept.’ You can swear something back to them if you feel so inclined. You can cut yourself and give them each your blood.”
