Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna

Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna Chapter 86

Postmortem

Thea and the triplets went to the oath room. Delta team and Alpha Ulric were waiting for them. It was becoming their unofficial meeting room. No one else used it, and it was special to them.

Someone had brought in a big dry erase board.

“Seems like we’re going to be having meetings like this on a regular basis,” Alaric said. “Maybe we should get this room set up officially?”

“Agreed,” Liam said. “I’ll see to it, Alpha.”

Once everyone settled, Thea looked at Liam. “Would you?” Thea said.

“Yes, Luna,” Liam said. He stood up and went to the front of the room. “What all do we need to cover today?”

“The girls,” Thea said.

“Defense against retaliation,” Maverick said.

“Let’s add Thea’s training to the list,” Alaric said.

“Thea’s gift,” Kai said.

“Last night’s op,” Conri said.

Liam wrote down each subject on the whiteboard.

“Anything else?” The room was silent. “Let’s start with a postmortem on the op itself.”

Sounds of agreement.

“Things ran smoothly,” Liam said. “Execution was pitch perfect excepting the end when we lost the Luna. Putting a pin in that, logistics were good. Communication was clear. Coordination good. Each pickup was where and when it was supposed to be. The crowd control weapons were great.”

“The pick up from Cold Moon, Eclipse, and Far Side went off without a hitch,” Owen said. “Storm Moon was fine because the Luna was able to take out the patrolman who caught the group.

Crescent Moon was where we had trouble.”

“I don’t know if Crescent Moon had more patrolmen than the other packs or if they already have a problem with people trying to escape, or if they were just unlucky with their timing,” Thea said.

“Delta team handled the situation perfectly,” Alaric said. “You took out all the patrolmen without lethal force, and we got all the refugees.”

“Delta team is a well-oiled machine,” Conri said. “We could probably use some practice with you guys if we’re doing more ops together.” He motioned to the triplets and Thea.

“Especially if I’m using my gift. I need to figure out what’s useful,” Thea said.

“It was useful when you told us what you sensed,” Liam said. “ Luna, will you take us through everything you did with your gift last night? Start with what you did to us at the beginning.”

Thea nodded. “Before we left, I pulled energy up from the Earth and funneled it into everyone to boost our senses, energy levels, focus.”

“That was nice,” Maverick said.

“It made a difference,” Liam said.

“Anytime you need something like that, just let me know,” Thea said. “It’s not difficult.”

“You were able to tell us where people were and if they were good or bad,” Liam said. “Tell us more about that.”

“I can sense life. Trees feel different from insects, feel different from animals, and so on. I could sense the people in the woods each time. On the second to last pickup, I sensed the group had stopped. They weren’t moving, and they were scared. Strong emotions like that are easier to pick up on. I isolated the one guy that wasn’t scared, just confused. I figured he was the patrolman. He caught them and questioned them. Just like funneling energy into you guys, I can drain it from others. I did that to him, but it didn’t do enough to let them escape. I felt into his brain and manipulated the brainwaves to put him to sleep. I felt him fall to the ground. Then the group ran.”

“You can put people to sleep?” Logan said.

“Looks that way,” Thea said.

“Will you show us?” Jonah said.

“Anyone willing to demonstrate?” Thea said.

Several Delta team members raised their hands. Thea remembered the sleeping brain wave pattern, reached into Maverick’s mind, and synced them up. Maverick slumped over onto Landon, who was sitting next to him.

“Woah,” Landon said. “He’s out.”

Thea felt into Landon’s brain and synced Maverick’s waves to

Landon’s. He woke up and shook his head.

“That was something,” Maverick said.

“What else can you sense? What can you do?” someone said. Thea thought for a moment and remembered his name was Ryker.

“I don’t know. I need to practice and experiment,” Thea said. “On the last pickup, I sensed the people running, scared, and other people chasing, not scared. I drained the patrolmen, and it slowed them a bit, and some of them stumbled and fell. It made them clumsy. I could feel where everyone was. I could sense the borders of the pack lands. When everyone was busy fighting, patrolmen caught the three girls. They started dragging them back. I felt their fear. That’s when I ran into the woods.”

“I don’t like how you ran off by yourself,” Conri said.

Thea sensed agreement from everyone in the room.

“I know. I won’t do it again,” Thea said.

“Why didn’t you just put them to sleep?” Kai said.

“I don’t know,” Thea said. “I didn’t think of it. I felt the girls’ fear, and I acted on instinct. I only just figured out how to put people to sleep. It’s not instinct yet.”

“Someone needs to stay on Thea at all times during ops,” Conri said. “So she can’t go off alone.”

Thea side-eyed Conri.
