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.

Alessia, will you bring them?”

“Yes, Luna.”

“I‘ll see you all soon,” Thea said.
