Chapter 54 The Victims

“Let’s go somewhere and talk,” Thea said.

The terrified girl nodded. She was shaking, emaciated. Thea put her hand around her boney shoulders and guided her out of the cafeteria. Other girls saw, got up, and ran after them. Thea told the triplets in their minds where she was going. She kept her thoughts open to them.

Once they were outside and out of earshot, Thea turned to the girls.

“I think I know what you want to talk about,” Thea said. “ Did Xavier use his Alpha tone to keep you silent?”

The girls’ faces said yes.

“Okay. You can’t say anything, but I can talk, and you can nod or shake your heads.”

They nodded. Other girls found their way over as she talked. She noticed they were all omegas from other packs. No one from her pack was in the group. 

Eventually, Thea got the information she needed. Xavier had been using his Alpha tone since the beginning of the school year when he shifted. He didn’t stop after he assaulted Thea or after his punishment.

“Are any of you in Xavier’s pack?” Thea said.

Two girls raised their hands.

“If he becomes Alpha, you can join my pack. You don’t have to stay there,” she said. 

“That goes for anyone who doesn’t want to live under his rule.”

The girls started to cry. 

“Thank you,” they said.

“Is this happening anywhere else? Is it only Xavier, or are there others?” Thea said.

The girls gave her a look. They wanted to say something but were compelled not to.

“What pack are you in?” Thea said.

“Crescent Moon,” a few girls said.

“Cold Moon,” another said.

“Eclipse.”

“Far Side.”

“Storm Moon.”

“Mead Moon.”

Thea felt sick. She had no idea so many packs were having this problem.

“Is it your Alphas’ sons doing it?” Thea said.

The look they gave told her it was.

“I’m not familiar with the Alphas of these packs. Are they good men, or are they like Xavier?”

“Crescent Moon’s Alpha is like Xavier,” the girl who came up to her in the cafeteria said. Thea learned her name was Alessia. She was from Crescent Moon. “He mostly uses the slaves as his playthings. They don’t go to school, so he can do whatever he wants with them around the clock.”

“Ours too,” the other girls said.

Thea sighed.
